Chapter 87: Chapter 85: Wei Jincheng the Scumbag

"Qiuqiu, I’m going to the Capital City, but what about Wei Jincheng? I haven’t confessed to him yet."

"Qingqing, I think Wei Jincheng doesn’t like you, just forget about it."

"How could that be? If he didn’t like me, why would he watch movies with me and have dinner with me?"

"Haven’t I told you to check his background? You did nothing. A few days ago, I heard he has a fiancée back home."

"Really? Who told you that?"

"Um... heard it accidentally from some soldiers at the barracks."

"That kind of gossip must be fake, someone is intentionally making it up behind his back, it can’t be taken seriously."

"What if it’s true? Then I definitely have to find Wei Jincheng and give him a good beating."

"Right, what a scumbag."

"What’s a scumbag?"

"It’s men like him, who flirts around, they’re worthless."

"Right, no, I have to ask him in person, Qiuqiu, I’m going ahead."

"Hey, how are you going to ask him?"

Lu Jingqiu watched as Gao Qing hastily rode off on her bike and felt worried; she looked down at her watch, saw that she wasn’t late for work yet, and followed after her.

By the time she caught up, they had already arrived at the entrance of the military base.

As it happened, Xue Jianian was also at the gate.

They hadn’t even parked their bicycles when Wei Jincheng came out from inside.

Upon seeing Xue Jianian, the surprise and delight on his face were clearly witnessed by her and Gao Qing.

"Niannian, you... why are you here?"

"Can’t I come?"

Wei Jincheng was already holding her hand, joyfully saying, "Of course, I’m very happy."

But before he could enjoy that happiness for a few seconds, Gao Qing, already infuriated, pushed her bicycle down and pointed at Wei Jincheng, demanding, "Wei Jincheng, who is she?"

It was only then that Wei Jincheng and Xue Jianian noticed them with their bikes.

Upon seeing Lu Jingqiu, Xue Jianian looked somewhat surprised and smiled at her.

Lu Jingqiu acknowledged her with a nod from a distance, greeting each other silently.

Wei Jincheng had not expected to run into Gao Qing by such coincidence; thinking of his own agenda, he let go of Xue Jianian’s hand and was just about to start explaining.

Xue Jianian, looking down at her hand that was released, didn’t give Wei Jincheng a chance and instead addressed Gao Qing first, "I am his fiancée, actually, we’re only short of getting our marriage certificate. I came here this time to have him submit a report for marriage."

Wei Jincheng became anxious, "Niannian."

Lu Jingqiu had previously mentioned to Gao Qing about Wei Jincheng having a fiancée, and now the woman herself had come over. There was no need for Wei Jincheng to explain; they could tell it was very likely true. Remembering how her own sincerity had been toyed with by this man, her temper flared up as she pointed at Wei Jincheng and scolded, "If you already have a fiancée, why lead me on? Scumbag."

Xue Jianian paused slightly upon hearing this, asking, "Scumbag?"

Gao Qing said, "Hey comrade, your man has been toying with our female soldier’s feelings by flirting around in our unit. If he isn’t a scumbag, what is he?"

Xue Jianian nodded and said, "Indeed... a scumbag," as she spoke, her eyes brimming with grievances, looking at Wei Jincheng with additional reproach.

Wei Jincheng felt a headache coming on. Although he had his reasons, he didn’t want Niannian to know.

"You worthless man, it’s a shame for that face of yours, watch me take out my frustration today." Gao Qing spoke as she rolled up her sleeves, looking around, and found a tree branch.

Seeing that Gao Qing was serious, Wei Jincheng knew that if a scene like this happened at the military base’s entrance, it would definitely cause a disturbance attracting many people, and he would end up shouldering the blame.

"Niannian, let’s go."

Xue Jianian angrily flicked his hand away and pointed to Gao Qing, asking him, "Who is she?"

Wei Jincheng said, "An admirer, Niannian, I’ll find a place and explain it to you later."

Xue Jianian snorted lightly and turned to walk a few steps towards the gate.

Wei Jincheng tried to reach out but Gao Qing’s stick had already come swinging down.

He knew that he shouldn’t fight back at this time, so he could only dodge towards a place farther from the gate, aiming to minimize the attention he attracted.

Lu Jingqiu watched the scene with some surprise; she hadn’t expected Wei Jincheng to treat Xue Jianian so well.

In her previous life, she only knew that in the end, Wei Jincheng’s side was still occupied by his original wife.

If he truly loved her, why would he still flirt around outside?

As Lu Jingqiu’s thoughts drifted off, Xue Jianian had somehow come up to her, crossed his arms and looked into the distance at the two running figures, saying, "Do you know that girl?"

Lu Jingqiu nodded and said, "My best friend."

"The last time you asked me, it was because of her, wasn’t it?"

"Yes."

Xue Jianian said, "I’m really sorry for not being able to control him, causing your best friend trouble. He... really isn’t a decent person."

"Ah..." Lu Jingqiu looked at Wei Jincheng being chased and not daring to retaliate, and then at Xue Jianian next to her, watching with crossed arms as if enjoying a show, and felt that the whole atmosphere was very bizarre.

"Aren’t you going to help your fiancé who is getting beaten up?"

"Didn’t your best friend say it already? A scumbag. He attracted these love troubles himself, so of course, he has to deal with it." Xue Jianian spoke and then checked the time, saying, "Comrade landlord, please help me tell Wei Jincheng later my address, and ask him to come see me when he has time."

"Me?" Lu Jingqiu shook her head: "I have to go to work."

"No worries, whenever you tell him is fine," said Xue Jianian, who, regardless of whether Lu Jingqiu was willing or not, or what happened to Wei Jincheng, nonchalantly walked away.

Lu Jingqiu, realizing she was running late for work, hurried to pull Gao Qing back. Gao Qing let herself be pulled back by her and stopped chasing, then squatted down and began crying pitifully.

Seeing that Xue Jianian had left, Wei Jincheng hurriedly said to Gao Qing, "Comrade Gao Qing, you were the one who had been pursuing me, insisting that I accompany you to movies and meals. I never had any such intentions, and as you’ve seen, I have a fiancée."

Given the circumstances, Wei Jincheng could only acknowledge Xue Jianian; future matters would be dealt with in the future.

It’s not that he absolutely needed to use women to achieve his goals; it was just that women were, in some ways, simpler.

Seeing him about to leave, Lu Jingqiu said, "Your fiancée asked me to tell you that she lives in the third community on Academy Street and Central Road, in the second alley, the second house."

Wei Jincheng gratefully voiced his thanks and hurriedly went after her.

Watching Gao Qing cry louder and louder, Lu Jingqiu quickly knelt down to console her, "Young lady, stop crying. If Uncle Gao sees you like this, you won’t be able to explain yourself. Come on, I’ll take you home."

Gao Qing, with tears all over her face, looked up and said, "Qiuqiu, I should have listened to you back then. What am I now? I was even seen by his fiancée; she must think of me as a cheap and lowly woman."

"Hey, she doesn’t think that way. Just now when you were hitting Wei Jincheng, she was standing there enjoying the drama, saying that Wei Jincheng deserved it."

"Ah... she really said that? But I really like him."

Lu Jingqiu pulled her up, saying, "How could you forget, he is engaged, and from the looks of it, he probably really likes his fiancée."

Gao Qing, who had stopped her crying, suddenly burst into tears again: "If he likes his fiancée, why is he being fickle with us young girls? What should I do now?"

"Qingqing, think about me."

When Lu Jingqiu was mentioned, Gao Qing suddenly quieted down, about to say something, but then she saw her father approaching from afar and, not caring how tear-stained her face was, she grabbed Lu Jingqiu, pushed the bicycle, and hurried away in another direction, fearing her father would see her.

For the Gao Family, whether boy or girl, making a mistake meant a beating, and Father Gao was particularly harsh; Gao Qing was afraid.

After walking a distance away, Gao Qing began to cry again, this time not loudly, but silently shedding tears: "Qiuqiu, I finally understand why Wu Zhengran, a grown man, would cry without caring about his image."

"Now that you understand, it’s not too late. The two of you are actually better off, being able to cut your losses in time." She, on the other hand, was less fortunate.
