Chapter 151 - 146: As One Wave Settles, Another Rises
Actually, without Xiao Juzi mentioning it, just by looking at her reaction and listening to her questions, Fang Pingying probably already had an idea of what it might be related to.
She directly asked Xiao Juzi, "Is it that Luo Zhiyong has some sort of relationship with a woman at the timber mill or something?"
"I... don’t know." Xiao Juzi still shook her head, worried that speaking out would cause conflicts in Fang Pingying’s family.
After all, Luo Zhiming’s wife was Fang Pingying’s sister, and as her older sister, finding out about this would definitely infuriate her.
But seeing Xiao Juzi behaving so evasively, Fang Pingying grew even more anxious, grabbed her, and said earnestly, "Juzi, you know his wife is my own little sister, so you should tell me even more. If there’s something wrong, I can try to come up with a solution or prevent him sooner."
Xiao Juzi thought about it and felt it made sense, so she nodded and said, "Well, sister-in-law, I’ll tell you, but you can’t say that it was me who told you."
"You just say it, I’ll handle it with discretion."
"It’s just what I heard people say, Huang Lin at the timber mill seems to be getting along hot and heavy with a divorced woman. They go out every evening, always returning after midnight." Xiao Juzi thought for a moment and then added, "However, nobody has seen exactly what they go out to do or what they have between them. It’s just that everyone inside the mill is gossiping about them."
"When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?" Since the whole factory was abuzz with the news, it certainly wasn’t just from the last day or two, but Fang Pingying hadn’t heard anything from Xiao Juzi or Huang Lin.
And just yesterday, Luo Zhiyong said that Luo Zhiming should be doing well there, as he never visited, clearly showing that Luo Zhiyong didn’t know about this either.
"Ah, I was unsure whether your brother was married or not. If he wasn’t married, it wouldn’t be a big deal. If a bachelor and a bachelorette date each other, there’s nothing wrong with that.
