Chapter 294: Think I’ll Regret It?
Qiao Ling is still very busy now, with no Sundays off as they are all adjusted rest days. The little girl also feels quite depressed thinking that Zhao Jinbao looks down upon her, so everyone chose to forget about this matter.
Lu Qiaoge said directly without any emotional buildup: “Zhao Jinbao is no good. A few months ago, he went on a blind date with Qiao Ling, and it was with his elder sister. They had made an appointment for the time, but because the Zhao Family was not very willing, they arrived late.
At that time, Qiao Ling’s household registration hadn’t been transferred back and she had no job, so Zhao Jinbao arrogantly said that if she wanted to be with him, my dad must immediately solve the household registration issue. As for the job, no rush, she didn’t even need to go to work, just stay home to cook, take care of the child, and serve his parents…”
The room fell silent, everyone looking at Lu Qiaoge with incredulous gazes.
“Don’t look at me like that. After all, the Zhao Family is not very decent. Who would mention their family for no reason? Isn’t that bad luck?”
Fourth Uncle Lu and Fourth Aunt Lu both had very bad expressions.
Zhao Jinbao was introduced by the neighbor granny.
It was just a few days ago.
At the time, they thought the conditions were pretty good, so they decided to meet face-to-face tomorrow on Sunday.
Who would have thought there was such a thing behind it.
No matter what, it wouldn’t be good to meet, right?
Grandma Jiang couldn’t quite describe her feelings, but good young men are not that easy to find nowadays.
Either they already have a partner, or they have other bad habits.
Grandma Jiang hesitated and said: “How about meeting him first and see. Besides, the ages match well. Fate is hard to say. He might not be suitable for Qiao Ling, but he could be a good match for Qingqing, right?”
In her opinion, her maternal granddaughter is the best. Zhao Jinbao looks down on Qiao Ling, could he also look down on Qingqing?
Before Fourth Uncle Lu, whose face had changed, could speak, Lu Qiaoge raised her eyebrow and said very dominantly: “Still meet him? That would be giving him too much face! No way, I don’t agree!”
Grandma Jiang’s face darkened, wanting to retort: And you don’t agree? What are you even eating for? Since when do you get to interfere with your cousin’s affairs?
But seeing that Lu Qiaoge was serious, for some reason, she felt a bit intimidated by such a Lu Qiaoge. Moreover, in her youth, due to special reasons, she had contact with unusual people, so she was very good at reading people and situations.
She always felt that there was something different about Lu Qiaoge compared to others.
So she didn’t persist further.
Although Zhao Jinbao seems pretty good, the fact that he went on a blind date with Qiao Ling still makes people feel disgusted.
If they don’t interact, it’s fine, but these are family relatives with frequent visits. If it really happens, meeting relatives would be awkward, wouldn’t it?
Lu Qiaoge glanced at Lu Qiaoqing, and she immediately said: “Right now, I’m just focusing on my job and studying hard!”
Lu Qiaoge indicated she was very satisfied.
Then she asked Fourth Aunt Lu about her recent situation, without hiding anything. Many times, confidence is a miracle drug that can have unexpected effects.
“Fourth Aunt, you need to continue rehabilitation. The key is to persist. I consulted an old doctor. He said your situation is not hopeless. Through decoction medicated compresses and special acupuncture, you have a chance to stand up again. I dare not guarantee you’ll be as nimble as before, but self-care should be no problem…”
By the end, Fourth Aunt Lu’s eyes didn’t even dare to blink, feeling as if she had to hold her breath.
Even Grandma Jiang looked at Lu Qiaoge in surprise.
Really? Or fake?
But Lu Qiaoge wouldn’t come specifically to lie.
Besides, Lu Qiaoge is no longer an ordinary worker; she’s temporarily acting as the factory director of the food factory and the process factory.
Fourth Uncle Lu hurriedly asked: “Then, then, then… Qiaoge, the… the person, where is he?”
Lu Qiaoge said: “He’s currently treating a very important patient and will be available in three months. At that time, I’ll contact you all. But for now, keep it confidential and don’t tell others.”
The whole family of Fourth Uncle nodded in unison.
At this moment, everyone had forgotten the earlier topic. Lu Qiaoge finished saying what needed to be said and it was time to leave.
Her partner was still waiting outside.
Fourth Uncle Lu was still nervously clenching his hands, wanting to ask more, but after thinking, he swallowed it back.
No more questions. They’ll know in three months.
Qin Hengzhi saw Lu Qiaoge come out of the hutong, opened the car door, and looked at Lu Qiaoge with smiling eyes, asking: “What’s going on?”
Lu Qiaoge’s eyes darkened: “Zhao Jinbao actually wants to go on a blind date with Lu Qiaoqing. I didn’t agree.”
Who knows if he has ulterior motives.
Besides, he’s not a good man to begin with. Qingqing is also a good young woman. Although the two families don’t interact much, there are still feelings.
If they really became relatives with Zhao Jinbao, it would be disgusting enough.
It’s just a bit strange. Doesn’t this Zhao Jinbao know about the relationship between Qiao Ling and Qingqing?
Qin Hengzhi: “Mm, I remember, Zhao Jinbao, the one who was late for the blind date with Qiao Ling…”
Then he looked deeply at Lu Qiaoge: “If he hadn’t been late, you wouldn’t have come up to the second floor.”
Lu Qiaoge thought about it, and it seemed to be the case.
She grinned and glanced at Qin Hengzhi: “If I hadn’t gone up to the second floor and just exchanged a few words with you, would you have spoken up to defend me when Liu Feng made me take the blame?”
Qin Hengzhi looked at her intently and said slowly: “Even if you hadn’t gone up to the second floor, we weren’t strangers. In just a few short days, we’ve met several times. How could I not have a deep impression?”
He paused, then said word by word: “Especially, that person is you!”
Everything was unspoken.
Because it’s you, simply you.
Liking you is also because it’s you.
Lu Qiaoge smiled with curved eyebrows: “Then, give you a chance to describe me.”
Under the cover of night, Qin Hengzhi slightly turned his body to look at Lu Qiaoge. She saw two small versions of herself in his eyes.
And in his eyes, there was only her. Moonlight poured down, outlining the man’s handsome contours, yet softened by the moonlight.
Time seemed to slow down, slow enough to count the breaths. The noble and aloof man, at this moment, had descended to earth.
He had love, had emotions, had an unspeakable secret worry.
With that, a kiss gently fell, a kiss that was precious and tender.
The early autumn breeze was slightly cool, and his kiss carried a bit of coolness.
It contained no amorous emotions, nor any desire.
Only him and her, nothing more.
A dragonfly skimming water, fleeting in an instant, a light kiss so quick it seemed like an illusion.
As if kissing a piece of snow.
—
The next morning.
Last night, Lu Qiaoge told Qin Hengzhi that she had something to do today and would go out.
So today, this young couple could do their own things freely.
Lu Qiaoge didn’t sleep in, even though it was Sunday.
Last night, Qin Hengzhi sent her back, and they chatted for a while at the road junction. By the time she entered the house, Qiao Ling was already asleep.
So Lu Qiaoge got up early. She quietly asked Qiao Ling if she had seen Zhao Jinbao.
Lu Qiaoling immediately nodded and lowered her voice disdainfully: “You found out?”
Lu Qiaoge said: “I went to Fourth Uncle’s house last night. They said Qingqing is going on a blind date with Zhao Jinbao today.”
Lu Qiaoling immediately widened her eyes: “That shameless jerk, how does he have the face to go on a blind date with Qingqing? Just last Saturday, he blocked me on the road, acting like now that I’m a worker with my household registration transferred back, I’m finally worthy of him. I scolded him, he stormed off angrily, and said to wait and see, that I’d regret it one day. My god, I don’t understand where he gets his confidence that I’d regret it?”
Then she huffed: “I can’t be with him no matter who else. No way. I’ll take the morning off to find Qingqing and make sure she doesn’t fall for it.”
Treasures, happy weekend~
