Chapter 348: Yes, She’s Scared!
Grandma Qin was full of guilt.
Qin Ruixue suddenly seemed to have lost all her strength, slumping dejectedly onto the sofa.
Lu Qiaoge suddenly thought of the old turtle.
She was actually wondering too, never quite understanding where the old turtle’s prescriptions came from.
Was it memory or inheritance?
If it was a bit more mystical, the old turtle’s origins were probably not ordinary either.
After all, back then, only it knew about the Mustard Seed Space.
The other little cuties didn’t know.
Lu Qiaoge had said what needed to be said and done what needed to be done. After telling Grandma Qin, she went upstairs alone.
After she left, Grandma Qin slapped Qin Ruixue across the face and angrily scolded: “You’re still being so arrogant? What do you think you are? If you weren’t lucky enough to be born into our old Qin Family, you wouldn’t even be worth a damn.
I really regret it back then. At that time, I even thought about breaking your legs. Our Qin Family would rather support you for life than let you go harm the Gu Family.
But I softened. I thought, after all, you’re a girl, different from boys, with a soft side. How much harm could you do? And besides, I raised you, so my feelings for you are different.
I also thought that maybe gradually Jingwen would change his mind, or perhaps you’d give up. Actually, these past days, I’ve been thinking about this issue.
You turning into this hateful state is all your fault, but I have fault too. I shouldn’t have spoiled you. I will apologize to the Gu Family, but you, Qin Ruixue, if you dare to be arrogant with me again, I will really send you to the mental hospital!”
Qin Hengzhi supported Grandma Qin, whose body was trembling but whose voice was stern and unyielding, his silent gaze falling on Qin Ruixue.
There was some mockery at the corners of his mouth. Heh, she spoke so resolutely, but after knowing about this, she didn’t rush to the hospital first. She was afraid, so when Qiao Ge pulled her back to the living room, she still hadn’t rushed out.
Yes, she was afraid!
Qin Hengzhi recalled the words he had said to Qiao Ge. Since when had she become like this?
Qin Hengzhi said calmly: “Elder Sister, I’ll help Grandma go rest. If you want to go, go ahead. No one will stop you. I hope you get what you wish for!”
Grandma Qin looked at Qin Hengzhi worriedly. If she went to the hospital and made a big fuss now, wouldn’t that just add to her crimes?
Qin Hengzhi said nothing more.
He let Grandma go to her room to rest. When he came out, he saw Qin Ruixue sitting on the sofa with her head down, silent. She didn’t even look up when she saw him come out, as if she hadn’t seen him.
Qin Hengzhi went straight upstairs.
He first went to find Lu Qiaoge and found that the door to Qiao Ge’s room was open. Was she waiting for him?
Lu Qiaoge had been waiting for Qin Hengzhi.
She could skip explaining today’s events to Grandma Qin, but she still needed to tell Qin Hengzhi.
After all, the two had been together since this morning. Even when she went to the bathroom, Qin Hengzhi waited outside.
Finally, they drove straight back to the compound.
So how did she know about the Gu Family news?
She should tell Qin Hengzhi about this.
Of course, before saying it, she also needed to see how much he had guessed. After all, when she brought up the matter, Representative Qin Hengzhi had looked up at the sky, seen no birds flying, and then looked at the jujube tree in the courtyard.
Lu Qiaoge looked at Qin Hengzhi with clear eyes.
Meanwhile, Xiao Cangcang finished drinking the space water and, seeing Qin Hengzhi come in, landed on the curtain.
It was hard to see it if you looked closely.
It had blended perfectly with the light blue floral curtain.
Qin Hengzhi sat down and asked gently with his gaze: “Were you waiting for me?”
Lu Qiaoge nodded: “Yes, waiting for you to ask me.”
Qin Hengzhi was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: “Can I ask?”
Lu Qiaoge: “You can ask, but…”
“But what?”
“You guess first. Let’s see how much you can figure out.”
Qin Hengzhi’s gaze met Lu Qiaoge’s smiling eyes. He also coughed lightly, then stood up, scanning the room unhurriedly, and said: “I know Hua Hua understands human nature because it can understand what I say. The swallows that migrated south with your family are also spiritual. Your whole family of five often flies to Hongxing Lake. Now the sparrows nesting at your house are the same. Zhou Li’s old black cat and the Ding Family’s little yellow dog should all be your good friends, including the few big fish at Hongxing Lake?”
Qin Hengzhi’s voice wasn’t very certain. He was indeed making these incredulous guesses.
Lu Qiaoge encouraged him: “Keep going!”
Qin Hengzhi’s eyes lit up slightly: “These small animals couldn’t come with you, so they’re all in Jiangcheng. But I have a very familiar feeling, starting from the moment the train set off.”
Lu Qiaoge rested her chin on her hand, her eyes smiling: “Keep talking.”
Qin Hengzhi looked at Lu Qiaoge amusedly. Did this girl think they were playing a game?
“Your animal friends probably include some I haven’t seen. I was wondering, what could it be?
I can sense it but can’t detect it, and it came with us to Beidu, which proves it’s extremely small in size.
And it can probably change color, hide itself, and fly well, so even though I feel a familiar aura, I can’t tell what it is.
A bee… no, it makes sound when flying, but we can’t conclude by common logic. After all, it’s definitely not a butterfly, though butterflies fly silently.”
Lu Qiaoge hadn’t expected Qin Hengzhi’s guesses to be so close to the truth. He probably still didn’t quite believe it, right? That a little fly could understand human nature?
So he didn’t say the final answer.
It was also leaving a way out for both of them. Qin Hengzhi was probably worried she might not want to say it in the end.
Indeed, don’t really think the person around you is a fool.
If you think they’re foolish, it’s because they just don’t bother delving deep with you.
Lu Qiaoge smiled brightly and called to Xiao Cangcang: “Come here, formally meet my partner, Representative Qin Hengzhi!”
Qin Hengzhi suddenly straightened his back.
Xiao Cangcang flew down shyly and landed on the tip of Lu Qiaoge’s index finger.
Qin Hengzhi looked over intently and couldn’t help but exclaim: “What a beautiful little thing!”
Lu Qiaoge forcibly held back her laughter.
Xiao Cangcang was too clever. For its first formal meeting with Qin Hengzhi, it had made itself all colorful.
Its wings shimmered with colorful iridescent glow, its tiny body transformed into a rainbow-like form, just like a little sprite. It was really… so dazzling!
Xiao Cangcang shyly stayed on Lu Qiaoge’s fingertip for just over ten seconds before flying away.
Lu Qiaoge said: “It flew away. The Gu Family news was told to me by it, just as we entered the compound.”
Qin Hengzhi took Lu Qiaoge’s hand, leaning in slightly to look at her closely.
Lu Qiaoge asked him: “What are you looking at?”
“I’m wondering, are you a fairy reincarnation?”
Then the two looked at each other, and after a few breaths, they both unconsciously curved their lips.
You get me, I get you!
This was great just like this.
Qin Hengzhi let go but gently ruffled Lu Qiaoge’s hair, saying softly: “I’ll go downstairs first. My parents should be back soon. I’ll explain to them. You rest. After dinner, we’ll go to the Cao Family.”
Lu Qiaoge nodded, feeling so busy.
“Do you have time tomorrow morning? I still need to go to the Jiangcheng Beidu office.”
“Okay, I’ll take you.”
“For the Gu Family matter, if they agree to Elder Sun coming, there might be a turning point.”
Elder Sun wasn’t ordinary. There was also energy surging in him, but different from hers. Elder Sun’s was much weaker, but it had remarkable effects in treatment.
If combined with the water in her space, there might be a surprise.
