Chapter 495 My younger brother becomes an actor
Fang Qing was speechless.
Lu Jiangting added, "Fang Qing, know when to stop. Don't push your luck."
After saying that, Lu Jiangting left.
Fang Qing cried uncontrollably, but what could she do? It was all her own fault.
The nurse, unaware of the truth, felt sorry for her and took great care of her.
……
The news of Fang Qing's abortion quickly reached Zhou Jing, who then passed it on to Lin Yuyao.
"I heard they checked and it's a girl. With the family planning policy so strict now, Lu Jiangting definitely can't have a second child. The Lu family felt that if it were a girl, the family line would end, so they made Lu Jiangting take Fang Qing to have an abortion."
"Tsk tsk, that's terrifying! They say she has to wait until she's pregnant with a son before she can give birth. Their family is so sexist! Good heavens, I suddenly feel sorry for Fang Qing. Back then, my mother-in-law dragged me to have an abortion. Luckily, my family stood firm, otherwise, I don't know if my Tingting would have survived."
Zhou Jing had experienced it herself, so it's not surprising that she sympathized with Fang Qing.
But when Lin Yuyao heard it, she felt something was wrong.
Lu Jiangting's parents preferred boys, but it wasn't to the point that they would have an abortion if she got pregnant with a girl.
At most, she regrets not being able to have a son, but then she comforts herself by saying that she is following the Party's policy and supporting family planning, and that boys and girls are the same.
Lu Jiangting was even less concerned; he was indifferent to whether or not he had offspring.
She didn't believe that he dragged Fang Qing to have an abortion because of his preference for sons over daughters.
"They really fought?"
"Of course she really did get an injection. Aunt Qian took her daughter-in-law to get a prenatal checkup that day and saw it with her own eyes. She said that when Fang Qing came out after the injection, Lu Jiangting didn't even help her up. He just watched her go back to the ward and then left, letting Fang Qing go back by herself."
Lin Yuyao: "..." When did Lu Jiangting become so cold-blooded towards Fang Qing?
"Tsk, this man is really cold-blooded. Yuyao, it's a good thing you didn't marry him back then."
That's true, she almost forgot that Lu Jiangting has always been so cold-blooded.
"Sigh!" Zhou Jing sighed again and said, "Poor girl, I heard she was already fully formed when she was aborted. Before the one-child policy, girls were not well-regarded, but at least they could give birth. Now, it's different. Each family can only have one child. How many female fetuses have they aborted in order to have a son?"
Lin Yuyao knew that soon she would no longer be allowed to choose her gender.
Wait a minute.
You mean the child is already fully formed?
"Yes."
"how old are you?"
"Aunt Qian even asked the nurse, and it seems to be more than five months."
More than five months?
That's not right. The last time Fu Huaiyi told him, the baby should be more than three months old now.
More than five months, wouldn't that be right around the time of the Chinese New Year?
Is Fang Qing still in her hometown?
hiss!
Lin Yuyao immediately understood what was going on.
That explains why it was so strange.
Did Fang Qing make Lu Jiangting a cuckold?
Thinking of this, Lin Yuyao burst out laughing.
Zhou Jing was puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"Sister Zhou, about this matter..."
She looked around and whispered, "I have a guess, but let me make it clear first, there's no evidence, it's just a wild guess, so don't tell anyone else."
"What are you trying to say? Why are you being so mysterious?"
Lin Yuyao pulled Zhou Jing aside and whispered her guess.
She suspected Lu Jiangting of being a cuckold because he said the child was over five months old, but Lu Jiangting told his colleagues that the child was only three months old.
Moreover, it was more than five months ago during the Chinese New Year, when Fang Qing was in her hometown.
Zhou Jing was so shocked she couldn't speak. "Does this mean Fang Qing cheated on me back in her hometown?"
Lin Yuyao nodded and said, "I didn't say that, I was just guessing."
"That's for sure, otherwise why would they take her to get an abortion, and after the abortion, they wouldn't even bother to help her up?"
Lin Yuyao smiled faintly and remained silent.
Zhou Jing then asked, "Hey, who do you think that wild man is?"
"do not know."
"Could it be Yang Guangzong? I bet it is, otherwise why would Fang Qing keep giving him money?"
Lin Yuyao said, "I guess it wasn't him. If it were him, why would he blackmail Fang Qing every now and then? Maybe Yang Guangzong knew about this, so he used it to threaten Fang Qing."
Zhou Jing nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, you're so smart, that makes sense. My God, Lu Jiangting is quite a capable man, how could he tolerate this? If this gets out, Fang Qing and her lover could be charged with hooliganism."
Lin Yuyao said, "Lu Jiangting couldn't possibly have revealed it."
"Why? That's true love! Even after all this, Lu Jiangting is still protecting Fang Qing."
"It's not that I'm protecting Fang Qing, it's just that Fang Qing has a trump card in her hand."
"The child?"
"Yes, convicting Fang Qing of hooliganism may have brought him some relief, but it ruined Wang Chenchen's future. The path Lu Jiangting arranged for Wang Chenchen required passing a political background check, and if he has a mother who is in prison, his future is over. For Wang Chenchen's sake, Lu Jiangting is swallowing this bitter pill."
Hearing her say that, Zhou Jing couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"So it seems like this green-haired turtle can't be removed from his head."
"Absolutely, it's sealed. As long as Fang Qing holds this trump card, Lu Jiangting has to back her up no matter what she does."
"Oh dear, Lu Jiangting's life is over."
……
August arrived in the blink of an eye. Lin Ping graduated from school and was immediately dragged to the film crew by Lin Yuyao.
"You can stay here and do odd jobs. Work here for a month, and I'll give you a hundred yuan. How about that?"
"Wow, twenty more than last year?"
"Yes, you're my own brother, I can't let you down."
Lin Ping curled his lip. "With prices rising now, isn't an increase of twenty yuan a bit too little? My own brother can't only be worth twenty yuan, can he?"
Lin Yuyao: “…”
"Are you still putting on airs? It's only a hundred, take it or leave it."
"Yes, I didn't say I wouldn't do it. What exactly am I supposed to do?"
"It depends on the director's instructions. If he asks you to carry props, then you carry props; if he asks you to run errands, then you run errands."
"Just doing odd jobs?"
"What else can I do? Didn't I tell you to come here and do odd jobs?"
"Alright, alright, I'll do odd jobs."
Lin Ping followed the director around like a servant, doing more than just odd jobs.
Sometimes, when there aren't enough extras, he has to put on a costume and play the role of a bystander.
Being a background character was one thing, but then one time the director asked him to play a dead person, which he felt was unlucky and refused.
Later, the director said he would get extra pay for playing a dead character, so he went there eagerly.
Later, the director discovered that he was tall and thin and agile, so he made him the male lead's stunt double twice.
The male lead himself is shown on screen, but he takes over when the other characters are being beaten.
He was paid extra for being beaten, and although the beatings hurt quite a bit, he was still very happy to see that he earned a lot.
This continued for half a month. When Lin Yuyao returned, she saw Lin Ping, his face bruised and swollen, sitting under a tree, grinning foolishly as he counted his money.
