After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

Chapter 529 Life is getting harder and harder

"Could it be a misunderstanding? Living together before marriage... that's a bit... with such strict regulations these past few years, this might not have a good impact."

Lin Yuyao glared at him, thinking to herself, "So you knew all along."

I wonder who wanted to live together before getting married?

Fortunately, she held firm to her principles; otherwise, Old Wang would have given him a piece of his mind.

"Chen Bingzhi is unreliable, Sister Song probably wouldn't. There might be some misunderstanding; maybe her water really is cut off." And then Xiaotong's water was cut off too?

……

There are only two or three days left until the statutory holiday. There is not much work left in the company. Those who live far away have already taken the holiday, and those who live nearby have started to come in late and leave early.

As long as you tell Song Qin, she usually won't make things difficult for them if she sees there's not much work to do, and will let them go directly.

But she stayed at her post, mainly because she had nowhere else to go.

Like her, Ye Xiaotong also stayed at her post despite having nowhere else to go.

She writes articles whenever she has free time, and following Lin Yuyao's advice, she tries to write longer ones.

She used to write a maximum of 10,000 to 18,000 words per piece, but now she can write 30,000 to 50,000 words per piece, which is a great improvement.

But that wasn't enough. Lin Yuyao told her that she needed to write at least 100,000 words to get the book published.

Besides the two of them, Chen Bingzhi also stayed at his post.

That day, Song Qin saw him answer a phone call from home again, so she said to him, "There's nothing else going on here. Your family is urging you to go back, so you should go back."

"I'm at work, how can I go back? It's not holiday time yet."

"Nothing much is happening today, everyone's gone, you should leave work early and go home too."

"How can this be allowed? They're leaving because they're on a salary. I'm one of the shareholders, I'm the boss, how can I leave?"

Song Qin: “…”

She shook her head, sighed, and said, "Come out with me for a moment."

"Hey."

Chen Bingzhi followed Song Qin downstairs and then followed her to the parking area.

Song Qin stood beside the car, patted the car door, and said, "Get in."

"It's during working hours, where should we go?"

"Go to your home."

Chen Bingzhi said excitedly, "Great! You've finally come to your senses and want to come home with me. Let's go home."

Song Qin did not get into the car, and said calmly, "I'm not going, you go."

Chen Bingzhi: "..."

"Hey……"

Song Qin raised her hand and interjected, "Don't rush, listen to me first. Go back first and make your family happy. You're not getting any younger, they'll definitely urge you to get married. When they're pressuring you to get married, find a suitable opportunity to talk about us. I'll go with you after you've made all the arrangements, otherwise, if I go out of the blue, what will they think of me?"

Chen Bingzhi suddenly realized, "You're so thoughtful. I didn't think that far ahead."

Song Qin smiled but didn't say anything.

Chen Bingzhi then said with a grin, "Being with you makes me feel so safe."

After saying that, he ambushed her and kissed her on the cheek when she wasn't paying attention.

Afraid of being beaten, he quickly got into the car after the kiss, closed the door, and sped away.

Song Qin covered her face and stomped her feet in anger.

As soon as he turned around, he bumped into Fang Qing.

Fang Qingzhen looked at them strangely, and after a moment, a jealous expression appeared on her face before she walked towards Song Qin.

"I have something to ask you."

Song Qin felt annoyed and crossed her arms, saying, "You were looking for me?"

"Yes, I'm asking you, were you talking about me behind my back?"

Song Qin: “…”

"Choreograph what?"

"Hmph, you know what I'm talking about, stop pretending. I've thought about it and there can't be anyone else but you and Zhou Jing. I asked Zhou Jing, and she said it wasn't her. Since it wasn't her, then it must be you."

Song Qin's lips twitched. "Oh, it's either A or B? If you're so good at solving cases, why don't you become a judge?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, but you've insulted my innocence like this, and you have to give me an explanation."

Song Qin laughed, thinking that since she had nothing to do anyway, she might as well tease her.

"You're innocent? You mean what people say about you being unable to have children is a lie? Spreading rumors is illegal. Come on, why don't we go and report it to the police together, and have someone go to the hospital to check if you can actually have children?"

"You..." She didn't understand these things, but she knew she really couldn't have children, and the truth would come out when she asked at the hospital.

It's just a rumor now. But if this blows up and people actually go to the hospital to have doctors testify, wouldn't that confirm the rumor? She's not that stupid.

"That's my business, what's it to you? Is your tongue so long that you have to gossip about other people's affairs everywhere?"

Song Qin chuckled, "That's well said. Is your tongue really that long? Why do you have to talk about other people's business? And it's even a rumor."

Fang Qing: "..."

"Hmph, don't think we don't know. It was you who said Yuyao couldn't have children."

"I……"

"Hey, don't rush to deny it. You need to know whether it was you who spread the rumor or not. Spreading rumors is illegal."

Fang Qing chuckled, "I was just stating the facts, how is that spreading rumors? Fine, I admit I went there to treat infertility, but Lin Yuyao did the same thing, she even saw the same doctor as me."

Song Qin burst out laughing, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's terrifying to be uncultured."

"So you assume that because they saw the same doctor as you, they're certain they have the same illness as you?"

"Hmph, what else?"

"She's a gynecologist. Why don't you go and ask her if she only treats infertility?"

Fang Qing's expression turned ugly. The way Song Qin looked at her as if she were an idiot made her feel insulted.

“If someone goes to the hospital for a checkup, we’ll know whether they can’t have children or whether what you’re saying is a lie. Of course, someone as stupid as you would be a waste of police resources to sue you.”

She glanced down at the time on her watch and left a curt remark, "Take care of yourself."

Fang Qing could only watch Song Qin leave, feeling exhausted and utterly powerless.

She felt that the distance between her and Lin Yuyao was growing. Lin Yuyao's friends were all so powerful, and they were all people she couldn't reach.

Her friend, her only friend, Sister Zhao, is a janitor who is about to retire.

He was incompetent and disliked at home; he was a miserable person.

She looked down on Sister Zhao, but sometimes she felt that she was not as good as Sister Zhao.

At least Sister Zhao has both a son and a daughter; I heard she's almost outliving her in-laws.

She herself will be able to retire in a few years, and will live a worry-free life on her pension for the rest of her days.

As for myself, looking back on how I've come this far, it seems I haven't gained anything.

She always told herself to just endure it a little longer, to endure until those two old geezers died and she would be free, and then she and Lu Jiangting could go back to how they were before.

But... judging from their recent interactions, she's becoming increasingly less confident. Deep down, she has a feeling that even if they were both dead, she and Lu Jiangting could never go back to the way things were.
