A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

When Liang's mother, who had suddenly become enraged, was stopped by others, she changed her tune again, saying, "My son likes you so much, and you two have such a good relationship, why make such a scene, don't you think?"

"If you drop the case, my family will give you a hundred yuan as a bride price, and I'll have my son marry you in a grand ceremony. We'll also help raise your two children, guaranteeing they'll never have to worry about food or clothing!"

Seeing that Zhuang Qingxiang had a blank face and did not react, Liang's mother continued to increase the bait: "My son still has savings, which I will give to you. After you marry into the family, you will be in charge of all the money in the house."

Others didn't react much; they'd seen this kind of thing many times before.

After many women are assaulted, their families ultimately choose to reconcile and arrange for the two to get married in order to save face, believing that this will make the matter disappear.

Niu Jianzhong was furious, but it was Zhuang Qingxiang's own business, so he couldn't say anything.

Zhuang Qingxiang looked blankly at the agitated old woman, pursed her lips, and answered seriously, "I don't know him, I didn't seduce him, and I have no feelings for him! I won't drop the case; he deserves to die for doing something like that! It's a pity he's still alive; otherwise, you could have burned all your savings for him!"

Upon hearing this, Liang's mother flew into a rage, cursing and trying to grab Zhuang Qingxiang's face. When she was stopped, she spat and cursed Zhuang Qingxiang as a vixen and a whore.

Niu Jianzhong couldn't stand it anymore and told her to shut up.

Zhuang Qingxiang calmly waited until Liang's mother was tired of cursing and stopped talking before turning to the female comrade beside her, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "Police officers, you all heard how horrible the insults she just hurled at me. If you don't take care of this, I will take my two children and jump into the river to commit suicide to prove my innocence."

The police officers were dumbfounded. They quickly tried to stop and persuade her, assuring her that they would absolutely tolerate Liang's mother's behavior.

Moreover, the dried fruit was given to Xiao Qianyue by Liang's mother. If no one else confesses, then she was the one who administered the drug. Even though she is already old, she should still be sentenced.

With tears in her eyes, Zhuang Qingxiang thanked them, saying that her husband had just died and how difficult it was for her to raise two children alone, and how Liang's mother had spread rumors and insulted her.

Niu Jianzhong was the one who investigated this matter, so he was the most qualified to speak on it. He recounted the previous investigation to the police officers.

Only then did everyone realize that Liang Xinzheng and his mother had been harassing Zhuang Qingxiang all along, even going so far as to destroy her if they couldn't have her...

Anyone can imagine how difficult it is for a widow to raise two children, but it's unbelievable that something like this would happen when things are already so tough.

"They're worse than animals!" one of the women shouted angrily, and the others echoed her sentiments.

When Zhuang Qingxiang and the others left, the police officers praised her for her courage in reporting the case and her refusal to reconcile. They also reassured her that the two people would definitely suffer the consequences of their actions.

The only problem is that the origin of the drugs they use is unknown.

Neither of them could explain where the medicine came from.

Liang's mother said it was given to her by Liang Xinzheng, and Liang Xinzheng said he bought it outside, but he couldn't say where he bought it.

"This matter still needs further investigation," Niu Jianzhong said to Zhuang Qingxiang. "You still need to be careful. If you ask me, you should move back to Director Lu's house temporarily until this matter is completely resolved."

Zhuang Qingxiang frowned: "It can't be that bad, can it? It couldn't have been done by someone from the factory... I feel quite at ease with your security department around."

Caught off guard by the praise, Niu Jianzhong chuckled and immediately said that it was fine if she didn't have to move back, as the security personnel were very responsible and would definitely ensure her safety.

Two days later, Lu Congyue returned, but Lin Wei did not.

Sun Yongxian ran over to Zhuang Qingxiang and said that Lin Wei had been transferred and would not be coming back.

"Ha... If you ask me, she should have left long ago. What's the use of following Director Lu around like that? Director Lu doesn't even look at her! She's always using her parents to intimidate people, humph."

Zhuang Qingxiang never expected that Lin Wei would actually be transferred.

When Lu Congyue said he would let Lin Wei leave, she thought he was just comforting her.

Zhuang Qingxiang subconsciously looked towards the main entrance.

Lu Congyue seems to have returned from his business trip two days ago, but he hasn't come over yet...

"What are you looking at?"

Suddenly, a hand appeared in front of me and waved it.

Turning her head, she saw Sun Yongxian's face so close to hers, her expression full of curiosity: "Sister Zhuang, you're not waiting for Factory Director Lu, are you?"

Zhuang Qingxiang's ears instantly turned bright red. She subconsciously lowered her eyes and shook her head: "No, don't talk nonsense."

"Director Lu?!" Sun Yongxian suddenly exclaimed.

Zhuang Qingxiang quickly looked up outside, but did not see Lu Congyue. Instead, she heard Sun Yongxian's loud laughter.

Zhuang Qingxiang realized she had been tricked and glared at her.

"Haha, so you were saying you weren't waiting for Factory Director Lu? I figured it out in one try, didn't I?"

Sun Yongxian winked mischievously at her, "Sister Zhuang, are you missing him?"

"Don't talk nonsense," Zhuang Qingxiang quickly retorted. "You're the one who told me to watch it."

Sun Yongxian burst into laughter again, then suddenly shouted, "Director Lu, you're back!"

This time, Zhuang Qingxiang was determined not to fall for it, and said without even looking up, "Stop fooling around! I've already said I'm not thinking about him, and I'm not waiting for him!"

Not hearing Sun Yongxian's voice, Zhuang Qingxiang looked up in confusion, only to be met with a pair of dark eyes.

Zhuang Qingxiang was taken aback and immediately stood up: "Factory Director Lu?"

Lu Congyue nodded slightly to Zhuang Qingxiang and Sun Yongxian in response.

Zhuang Qingxiang: "..." What did she just say? Did she say anything she shouldn't have?

Those words shouldn't cause any misunderstandings, right?

Zhuang Qingxiang was unsure, but felt her face burning. She was so angry and embarrassed that she wanted to confront Sun Yongxian, but Sun Yongxian ran away faster than a rabbit.

"I have to go back now, Director Lu, Sister Zhuang, goodbye."

In the blink of an eye, only Zhuang Qingxiang and Lu Congyue remained in the room.

Lu Congyue placed the things he was carrying on the table and said in a calm voice, "I used my connections in the provincial capital to buy a few bags of milk powder for the children to keep on hand."

Zhuang Qingxiang nodded, her face flushed.

"I was too busy these past two days after returning from a business trip, so I haven't been able to come over. How are the kids?" he asked again.

Zhuang Qingxiang quickly replied, "They are all very well-behaved."

"I'll go take a look." Lu Congyue lifted the curtain and entered the room.

Zhuang Qingxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, calmed herself down, and quickly poured water for the person.

"Director Lu, please have some water."

"No need to bother, I'll just sit for a bit and then leave, I have other things to do," Lu Congyue said in a deep voice.

Seeing that both children were asleep, he didn't touch them so as not to wake them.

The two children were chubby and fair-skinned, especially Fang Donghua, who looked completely different from when they were first brought home.

Lu Congyue was relieved that Zhuang Qingxiang could take good care of the child even when he was away.

"I heard Liang Xinzheng and his gang were caught?" he asked in a low voice.

Zhuang Qingxiang responded, then thought for a moment and mentioned that the source of the dirty medicine could not be found.

"I've heard about this too. Don't worry, we'll find it sooner or later," Lu Congyue said calmly.

He felt a little regretful.

They took Lin Wei away to prevent her from running away after hearing the news, but they still couldn't stop her.

It's unclear what promise Lin Wei's parents made to Liang Xinzheng that allowed him to buy the poison that was meant to kill him.

Don't rush, evildoers will always inevitably reveal their true colors first.
