Guan Xiaoqing from next door rushed home, tossed her newly bought designer handbag aside, and kept exclaiming, "Ugh, I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"

Hearing the commotion in the kitchen, Lu Weifeng rushed out without even putting down his spatula, bombarding him with a string of concerned questions.

Lu Weifeng asked urgently, "Wife, what's wrong? Why are you so angry as soon as you get back? What happened to you outside? Who upset you?"

Guan Xiaoqing pointed to the next room and started cursing, "That Zhu Gangtai actually cheated on me! Did you know he's keeping a woman on the side?"

Guan Xiaoqing was so angry she was panting heavily. She spoke up for her friend, saying, "Xizhen is such a good woman! How could he not cherish her? How could he... how could he dare to betray Xizhen? I'm so angry!"

Had they been found out? Lu Weifeng's heart skipped a beat, but seeing his wife's angry expression, he could only comfort her first, "Don't be angry, maybe Wang Xizhen knows about Lao Zhu's situation."

Guan Xiaoqing retorted without even thinking, "What does she know? Her husband is cheating on her. If she knew, would she still be so calm?"

"You're still classmates and friends with Zhu Gangtai, and he's already cheated on you. Do you think you're innocent? Bah! Men are all the same!" Guan Xiaoqing started to vent her anger as she cursed.

"No, I didn't, honey, calm down, don't wrong an innocent person!" Seeing that the fire was about to burn him, Lu Weifeng quickly joined his wife in cursing Zhu Gangtai.

Only by siding with his wife can Lu Weifeng avoid being implicated.

In fact, the problems between Zhu Gangtai and his wife had also surfaced in their previous life.

The couple almost got divorced. It was Zhu's parents who stepped in and gave their son a severe scolding, even declaring that they didn't care about their son as long as they had their daughter-in-law and grandson.

Finally, the storm gradually subsided, and Lu Weifeng didn't know why Wang Xizhen, such a rational person, wouldn't get a divorce.

But there must be a reason why they do this.

As friends and outsiders, they cannot get involved.

However, Wang Xizhen was also shrewd; by leveraging her in-laws' connections, she eventually climbed to a high position.

Lu Weifeng had been paying attention to his wife's close relationship with Wang Xizhen. Although he eventually learned of Wang Xizhen's motives, he figured it was a willing exchange and didn't dwell on it too much.

In fact, Lu Weifeng highly regarded Wang Xizhen's character. After he passed away, among all his friends, only Wang Xizhen provided the most help to his daughter.

Even after Xiaoqing and he passed away, it was Wang Xizhen who acted as Lu Chuyu's kind elder, silently supporting her from behind.

Otherwise, how could Lu Chuyu, a girl, possibly be a match for those wolves and tigers? After all, even in modern society, the phenomenon of valuing sons over daughters is still very serious.

Lu Chuyu is an orphan and doesn't have any close elders. Who wouldn't want to take a share of the property left to her by her parents?

Fortunately, with the help of Wang Xizhen and Zhu Ransheng, Lu Chuyu was able to hold on.

My wife and Wang Xizhen were getting along very well, but unfortunately, for some reason, after her parents and cousin moved to the city, Wang Xizhen and Xiaoqing gradually drifted apart.

Even so, when they were truly in trouble, Wang Xizhen still reached out to them.

So after his rebirth, he learned that Zhu Gangtai would cheat on him and specifically reminded Wang Xizhen about it.

Unfortunately, Wang Xizhen's expression was indifferent at the time; she only gave Lu Weifeng a meaningful look.

Then he nodded gratefully to indicate that he understood.

Now that Wang Xizhen had been informed, Lu Weifeng stopped paying attention. He had done what he needed to do, and as for what Wang Xizhen would do, she would naturally have her reasons.

As Lu Weifeng had expected, Wang Xizhen soon brought her parents to her home.

Seeing the two simple and weathered elderly people in front of him, and noticing that they were carrying large and small bags from the doorway, Lu Weifeng quickly went to help them.

When Wang's mother saw a clean and tidy man offering to help them carry their things, she quickly refused, worried that the trash in her hands would soil his clothes and that they wouldn't be able to afford to pay for it.

"It's alright, uncles and aunties. I'm your next-door neighbor, and my wife is your daughter's good friend!"

Fearing misunderstanding, Lu Weifeng quickly explained the relationship between his family and Wang Xizhen.

When Wang's mother heard that it was the neighbor next door, she suddenly realized and said, "Ah, so you are the man that Xiaozhen mentioned, the friend of Xiaoqing. I know him. Xiaozhen introduced him to us and Xiaoqing when we came."

After speaking, Wang's mother carefully examined Lu Weifeng, nodding as she did so.

However, he still refused, saying, "Young people don't need help. We can carry it ourselves. We don't want to get your clothes dirty. Who knows, the trash we collect might not even be worth as much as your clothes."

As she spoke, Wang's mother started to chatter, "Sigh, we've been in the city for many days now, and we don't have much to do every day. It's not easy for Xiao Zhen, a young girl. She has to support us two old folks and also raise her child. There was no other way, so her father and I discussed picking up some garbage to sell and earn some living expenses."

Mr. Wang remained silent, only agreeing with Mrs. Wang's words, nodding in agreement.

The main reason is that they've been here for so many days, and the son-in-law hasn't been home much since the first meeting. The two elders are worried that their son-in-law will resent them staying at their house, so they wanted to ease some of the pressure on them.

Seeing how pitiful the two looked, Lu Weifeng didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort them, "Uncle and Aunt, don't feel too much pressure. Since Xizhen was able to bring you two here, she must have the ability to take care of you..."

As they talked, they went upstairs. After helping Wang's mother and son put the collected garbage in front of Wang's house, Lu Weifeng went back to his own home.

Seeing his wife planting vegetables on the balcony while Lu Chuyu looked at picture books beside her, he suppressed his earlier sentimentality and went over to kiss her.

He only released his wife after hearing Lu Chuyu shout "Shy!"

Then she turned around and scolded Lu Chuyu, "Lu Chuyu, when you see your parents kissing, why don't you turn your head away? Why are you staring at them?"

Lu Chuyu was unconvinced by her father's words and retorted with her little mouth, "What's wrong with staring? I kissed Mommy too, and you were watching, weren't you?"

"How can that be the same? You and your mother are mother and daughter, but I am not the same as your mother."

Lu Chuyu retorted, "Hmph~ What's the difference? Since you know I can't watch, why did you kiss your mother in front of me? You bad old man, you did it on purpose. I'm ignoring you."

After saying that, she hugged her favorite picture book and angrily went back to her room.
