Chapter 680: Chapter 680: Cuckolded

After the people from the Lu family and Gu family left, Ning Lingyu walked over: "Qiaoqiao, congratulations."

Luo Qiao looked at her cousin, who had become much steadier than before: "Cousin, why do I feel like you’ve been unusually quiet today? Did something happen?"

Ning Lingyu laughed: "What could have happened? On an occasion like today, I obviously can’t fool around."

Luo Qiao always felt like her cousin was putting on a brave face. Ever since she had failed her college entrance exams, her cousin had started working at a department store, and it had been quite some time since they had last seen each other.

Luo Qiao walked over to her aunt Zhang Yuehua, looking at her little cousin in her arms: "Little Lingyu, would you like your cousin to take you out to play?"

Little cousin Ning Lingyu was already three years old and exceptionally cute. Knowing she was his cousin and hearing her suggestion, he leaned into his mother’s embrace and shyly smiled.

Zhang Yuehua said: "Your cousin is talking to you, what are you being shy for? Call her cousin."

Ning Lingyu rubbed his little face against his mother’s chest and called out in a soft voice: "Cousin."

Hearing this sweet little voice, Luo Qiao said: "Ah, do you want to go out to play with your cousin? We’ll go to the kiosk in front to buy some treats."

Hearing about buying treats, the little one was tempted. He looked up at his mother.

Zhang Yuehua said: "We should be leaving soon. Your cousin is rather busy today, so let’s not go, okay?"

Seeing a flash of disappointment on the little one’s face, Luo Qiao smiled: "It won’t take long; it’s just at the end of the alley. We’ll be back in a moment."

Luo Qiao looked around at everyone chatting in the room and said to her aunt: "Aunt, why don’t you come with me? It’ll be good to get some air."

Seeing her young son’s hopeful expression, Zhang Yuehua tapped his little nose: "Put away that pitiful look, and don’t cause any trouble later."

The three of them headed outside together. They stepped through the door, and Luo Qiao asked: "Aunt, has something been bothering my cousin lately? I noticed she’s not as lively as usual."

Zhang Yuehua glanced back at the big door and said: "You noticed that, huh?"

She sighed, "She was seeing someone from the department store, but they broke up a few days ago."

Luo Qiao asked curiously: "Why?"

Zhang Yuehua glanced at her son running ahead: "It’s infuriating, really. The guy looked like a perfect gentleman, and your great-uncle and I had met him a few times. But who could have guessed that he wasn’t as honest as he looked, harboring fickle affections.

Your second cousin once bumped into that guy watching a movie with a girl. But he introduced her as his cousin, and she even came up to greet your second cousin, so we believed it.

A few days ago, when your cousin had a day off, the family made dumplings. On a whim, she packed some up to take to him at the department store, only to walk in on a nasty scene. You know what your cousin is like; she hurled the lunchbox at them.

The commotion was quite a scene, and to protect his reputation, that bastard claimed he’d already broken up with your cousin. He said he was dating the girl he was caught with and that it was your cousin who couldn’t let go of him.

Your cousins couldn’t stand seeing her treated like that, so they confronted that guy at the department store. And guess what? His ’girlfriend’ turned out to be that same girl from the movie theater. It’s infuriating."

Luo Qiao said: "So they just let them off like that?"

Zhang Yuehua replied: "Officially, yes, but I’m sure your cousins are taking action behind the scenes."

Luo Qiao was a bit angry: "Are those two still working at the department store?"

Zhang Yuehua said: "They should be. Later, that scoundrel tried to explain himself to your cousin, got scolded a few times, and stopped pretending to be innocent. It turned out that girl’s aunt works in the purchasing department of the department store."

Luo Qiao worried about her cousin: "Could this affect my cousin in the future? I hope they don’t trip her up behind her back."

"Your cousin works on the sales floor; they hardly ever cross paths, so even if she wanted to cause trouble, she wouldn’t have much opportunity. But whether she’ll instigate others, I can’t say.

After all, quite a few people knew your cousin was seeing that scoundrel, and anyone with eyes can see what really happened."
