Kang Xiaoqiao pursed her lips when she heard that. Hmph, if he dared to continue to dislike her, she was sure that he would not be able to eat a single bite.
People nowadays really liked big things. The bigger the better, and the more domineering. In their opinion, small mooncakes like Kang Xiaoqiao's were not worth the trouble and effort.
Kang Xiaoqiao did not care about those things. She just liked exquisite things. Lu Yichen's last sentence pleased Kang Xiaoqiao. So she smiled and said, "Well, Xiaoqiao is also good-looking and convenient to eat. I sent some to the captain's house, the company leader's house, and Instructor Wang's house. I also sent some to the neighbors that I usually get along with to have a taste."
When Lu Yichen heard that, he looked deeply at Kang Xiaoqiao and said, "Well, you did a good job. As a sister-in-law of the Wilderness, you should love your neighbors and live in harmony."
Kang Xiaoqiao instantly felt goosebumps. After shaking her head, she took out a bag of mooncakes and gave it to Lu Yichen. "Then, this is for Xia Zijun. Help me pass it to him."
Lu Yichen looked at her and said, "Didn't you say that you don't like him?"
Kang Xiaoqiao rolled her eyes at him. "Even if I don't like him, he's still your cousin. Remember to ask him to come over for a reunion dinner tomorrow. I'll be going back first."
Lu Yichen nodded. "I'm going out too. Let's go together."
The two of them walked side by side, chatting and laughing. The man was handsome and tall, while the woman was beautiful and elegant. From afar, they looked like a pair of immortal lovers.
Many people in the ministry saw it. The wives in the Wilderness were all laughing and joking back and forth, making jokes about Kang Xiaoqiao. They were all used to it. And the new members of the arts and crafts group, regardless of whether they were girls or young men, all had a pair of sparkling eyes staring at them.
"Brother Yong, do you know who those two people are? I know that man. The Vice-Captain Lu who received us is just this female comrade? She's even better looking than our pillar Zhou Lu. God -- if I had such a wife, I would wake up laughing."
When Wang Yong heard this, he gave the young man a slap on the head and scolded him jokingly. "You little brat, always thinking about beautiful things. I heard that she's the wife of Vice-Captain Lu."
Wang Yong specialized in singing, and he was a tenor, so his voice had its own tone, which was very pleasing to the ear. The young man quickly covered his head, and then said with a surprised look, "What? Vice-Captain Lu's wife? How is this possible?"
"I heard from the people in the group that the wife Vice-Captain Lu married was a rural woman. This, this doesn't seem like it? I think she looks more like a city resident than a city resident. Look at her dress, that skin, that--"
Before he could finish, he received another violent slap on the head. "Kid, are you tired of living? You even dare to talk about Vice-Captain Lu's wife. Be careful, he'll strangle you with a finger. He has a fierce reputation. You better be careful, kid."
The young man quickly shut his mouth, indicating that he did not dare to say anything else.
Meanwhile, Zhou Lu, who was tidying up her things, had a dark expression on her face. She looked in the direction of Kang Xiaoqiao and Zhou Lu. At this time... Another young girl leaned over and said, "Sister Lu, don't listen to Xiao Hu's words. I think that... that Kang guy is not even worthy of carrying Sister Lu's shoes. Hmph, she's just a girl from the countryside. No matter how well she dresses, she can't change her character as a country bumpkin."
On the other side, another girl with two big braids said with a disapproving expression, "Xiao Juan, what you said is not true. I think Comrade Kang is quite good. I saw her when she asked for directions earlier. She's kind and gentle. She's not like what you said."
When Xiao Juan heard that, she raised an eyebrow and said fiercely, "What benefits did she give you? Are you just going to speak up for her? Am I wrong to say that? She's just a cheap country bumpkin. Bah, even if she climbs onto a branch, she won't be able to become a golden phoenix."
The little girl was not convinced and was about to retort when she suddenly heard a serious cough. "Ahem, ahem, what are you doing? Don't you have anything to do?"
"Have you memorized the lines? Have you tidied up your things? Aren't you all too free? Over there, bring all the big boxes over. Hurry up."
When the two girls heard this, they immediately shut up and said, "Yes."
After saying that, the two girls jogged over. Then, there were only two people left in the venue. One was Zhou Lu, and the other was the person who had just issued the order. It was the little girl that Kang Xiaoqiao had met in Lu Yichen's office, Luo Yulan.
At this moment, there were no outsiders. Luo Yulan took off her hat and sat down on the chair, looking very unhappy.
When Zhou Lu saw her good friend's reaction, she couldn't help but sigh and say, "You went to look for Lu Yichen?"
Luo Yulan raised her eyebrows and said with a slightly angry expression, "Hmph--"
When Zhou Lu saw this, she put the things aside and walked up to her. "Why are you doing this?"
Luo Yulan said with a ferocious expression, "I am feeling indignant for my sister--"
"I only found out today that he, Lu Yichen, is just an ingrate. An ingrate that I don't know well. My sister wasted all her affection for him. In the end, he is just a lecherous person."
"That village girl, Kang Xiaoqiao, looks like that. She makes people hate her the moment they see her. She--"
Zhou Lu listened to Luo Yulan's speech in silence. She saw it in her eyes, but in her heart, she was extremely disdainful.
The two girls who were sent to carry the big boxes also looked indignant, especially the girl named Xiao Juan. "That's enough. She actually asked us to carry such a heavy box. How is this work for us?"
"I think she's just looking for us."
When the girl beside her who was carrying the boxes heard this, she wiped the sweat off her forehead and said, "Who asked us to be new here? What can we do?"
When Xiao Juan heard this, she looked over. She bit her lip and said, "Pfft, isn't it just that her family is powerful and influential? I really don't understand. Why didn't she stay in the capital and come all the way here to host some Mid-Autumn Festival performance? What's the point of making things difficult for small fry like us?"
The little girl at the side was silent for a moment before she whispered, "I just saw her coming back from Vice-Captain Lu's side in a huff. Not long after she came out, she saw a couple walking out together. You say--"
When Xiaojuan heard that, it was as if she had discovered a new world. Then, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Okay, bah, she's shameless. Tsk, what the--"
Then, everything returned to calm. On the way back, Kang Xiaoqiao did not know that so many things had happened in a short while.
At this moment, Wu Xiaoyan was excitedly saying, "Aiya, I saw Wang Yong. He really came. You guys don't know, but his singing is the best. Yes, and that Zhou Lu. Unfortunately, I didn't see her figure."
Sister-in-law Qin and Yang Dani were not willing to be outdone. Everyone talked about what they had seen and heard. Only Kang Xiaoqiao listened quietly, somewhat absent-minded.
