The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s Chapter 310

Chapter 310 - She heard footsteps and talking coming from the outside. (4)
Edited by: Lulu
The Gu family members watched the train depart with heavy hearts.
Lai Muqing returned to her seat when she could no longer see. She looked very gloomy.
She had already convinced her aunt when she packed.
She figured she would write a few letters back and beg for forgiveness. Given how soft the Gu family members were, they would break down and eventually allow her to return.
Suddenly, the door to the car opened.
Two police walked in front of her and twisted her arms behind her back without a word.
Lai Muqing was shocked and angry. “What are you doing? Let me go! I am going to shout!”
One of the cops said to her, “Lai Muqing, we are arresting you on kidnapping charges.”
Lai Muqing’s eyes widened. She struggled wildly, “No! My cousin told me that he would not press charges! He promised!”
But the two cops did not reason with her. They just cuffed her and got off the train at the next stop.
Lai Muqing was sentenced to 10 years of reformation at the harshest farm in the northwest.
The members of the Gu family thought she had become a teacher on the production team. They still felt a little guilty but also felt that going to the production team wasn’t the most horrible thing that could happen. It was much better than being sent to a farm.

The day of Tong Xuelu’s dinner came quickly.
Wen Rugui and Pu Jianyi were the first to arrive.
Shen Wanrong had wanted to help, but she did not know the first thing around the kitchen. She could only help look after the children.
Wen Rugui did not head to the kitchen right away this time.
He talked to Pu Jianyi in the living room.
Pu Jianyi pushed his tongue against his back teeth. “That’s not cool, Rugui. You didn’t even tell me when you and Comrade Tong became a couple, but you have no qualms asking me for help when you need me?”
With a nonchalant tone, Wen Rugui said, “About the money that you owe me……”
Pu Jianyi was short of puking out blood. “Do you not have something else that you could use against me?”
Wen Rugui replied casually, “This is the most effective one.”
Pu Jianyi was so angry that his teeth ached. “Fine. Speak. What is it that you need help with?”
Wen Rugui’s black eyelashes shuddered a little. “My birthday is coming soon, but Comrade Tong doesn’t know it yet.”
Pu Jianyi was taken aback a little. “Why don’t you just tell her? Are you suggesting that I tell her?”
Wen Rugui fell silent for a little while and said, “I don’t think it’s right for me to tell her directly. It feels like I am obligating her to celebrate my birthday for me.”
Pu Jianyi raised his brows. “What do you want me to do then?”
Wen Rugui thought for a while before saying, “When she comes over, you should say that next Thursday is my birthday in a loud voice.”
She should want to celebrate his birthday with him once she finds out.
If he was to bring it up himself, it’d seem like he was pressuring her, and it would appear too deliberate.
“Puuff—”
“AHAHAHAH, Rugui. Since when did you become so sneaky? And you want me to be sneaky with you!”
Pu Jianyi laughed so hard that he was tearing up.
Wen Rugui’s ears were red. “Well, are you going to help me or not?”
Pu Jianyi wiped away his tears and said, “Of course, you are my bro, no?”
He says that but the truth was that Wen Rugui has leverage against him, so he had no other choice but to comply.
Tong Xuelu, who just walked over carrying a plate of fruits, “……?”
Tong Xuelu laughed so hard that her head almost fell off.
It was mostly girls who’d mull over something like that. It never occurred to her that Wen Rugui would be troubled by something like that as well.
And he was going to orchestrate for her to find out accidentally.
What to do? He always does the cutest things!
Tong Xuelu returned to the kitchen with the fruit and pretended that she didn’t hear their conversation.
Shortly after she had returned to the kitchen, she heard talking and footsteps coming from the outside.
