Chapter 216: Which Woman Doesn’t Want To Marry A Good Man?
But meeting Lu Qiaoge’s clear, condescending gaze from above.
For some reason, the words of accusation were forcibly held back.
If he said Lu Qiaoge tripped him, would Lu Qiaoge turn around and complain?
Yes!
Her glance was full of threat.
Oh my god, Qin Hengzhi, my great nephew, do you know you’ve found a woman with a viperous heart?
It’s just that he wasn’t actually very familiar with Qin Hengzhi, and he’d been disciplined by him before for his loose mouth.
Old Bai slowly walked over, and at this time, Lu Yaqin, hearing the noise, also came out from the kitchen.
Seeing her son sprawled on the ground startled her, and instinctively she looked toward Qin Hengzhi.
Was it Qin Hengzhi who hit her son?
Lu Yaqin’s hand at her side clenched.
Old Bai felt a headache; he was already sixteen, yet still acting like a mischievous child, causing endless worry.
Qin Hengzhi asked again: “Do you need an ambulance?”
Bai Xiaozhe gritted his teeth, got up from the ground, and glared angrily at Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge standing in front of him.
Especially Lu Qiaoge.
Did this young woman have such great courage?
After he said those words, he thought her reaction should be a mix of shame and anger but unable to speak out, and the worst case would be her tearfully complaining to Qin Hengzhi.
But so what?
He would stubbornly deny it; who could do anything to him?
But who would have thought that things didn’t develop as he imagined.
Qin Hengzhi instinctively felt this kid had said something inappropriate and got dealt with by Lu Qiaoge.
His hand pressed on Bai Xiaozhe’s shoulder, then gently patted it.
In a strange tone, he said: “Good as long as you’re fine.”
Old Bai’s gaze darkened slightly, but she said nothing.
Bai Jin Xin glanced at the dejected Bai Xiaozhe; this was him provoking Lu Qiaoge and then getting dealt with by her?
She was really curious how Lu Qiaoge had dealt with Bai Xiaozhe.
Lu Qiaoge was no simple young woman.
Only such a young woman could match her unparalleled great nephew.
She chuckled and said to Qin Hengzhi: “If you don’t take Qiao Ge out for a stroll, I’ll take her out myself.”
Qin Hengzhi glanced at Lu Qiaoge: if she wanted to stay, stay; if not, I’d take you away.
Lu Qiaoge smiled at him.
She knew what Qin Hengzhi meant, but did Qin Hengzhi understand her thoughts?
The next moment, Qin Hengzhi said: “Qiao Ge, there’s a small park over there; I’ll take you for a walk.”
Old Bai immediately said: “Go, go, the scenery there is very nice.”
Lu Qiaoge was taken out by Qin Hengzhi to play.
Bai Jin Xin’s face darkened; she wanted to say something, but thinking of Bai Xiaozhe’s increasingly brazen conduct, she dismissed the idea.
The living room fell into a strange silence; Old Bai sighed soundlessly.
Many things couldn’t be done or said; they could only be left to time.
Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge walked lakeside; it was very quiet here now. Qin Hengzhi asked Lu Qiaoge: “Did Bai Xiaozhe provoke you?”
Lu Qiaoge naturally told him what had just happened.
Then she tripped Bai Xiaozhe.
Lu Qiaoge said with a grin: “Your grandfather’s glance is very sharp; he probably guessed it, but I think he didn’t say anything.”
Qin Hengzhi gave a soft hum, then said: “Lu Yaqin was originally the nanny at home. After my maternal grandmother passed away a year later, my grandfather married her… you know, this status is still very sensitive. My grandfather didn’t explain the reason to his children or the organization, nor did he say how much he liked her; he just filed the marriage report per regulation. I was young and didn’t understand back then; later when I was older, I probably understood roughly.”
Lu Qiaoge wasn’t surprised.
But weren’t there such cases?
The world is full of wonders.
It wasn’t particularly shocking; it was just that the original wife’s children didn’t accept it.
Similarly, there wouldn’t be sister-brother or brotherly feelings toward Bai Xiaozhe.
But everyone was decent; no one would tear face.
Qin Hengzhi continued: “Bai Xiaozhe grew up in the compound; some people don’t want others to do well, so under the guidance of those with ulterior motives, Bai Xiaozhe is often mocked. Maybe in his view, it’s better to be a farmer’s son, because he feels my grandfather didn’t give him anything.”
At this point, Qin Hengzhi curved the corners of his mouth indifferently.
Then he continued: “His relationship with his mother isn’t great either. But it might also be that rebellious phase.”
Maybe so; boys this age all have that defiant attitude.
“I actually rarely come here; Grandfather is busy too, so even if I come, I might not see him. Today he specially stayed home.”
But before Lu Qiaoge could speak, a girl ran over from afar.
Qin Hengzhi narrowed his eyes; it was actually An Leilei.
Was she looking for Lu Qiaoge?
An Leilei quickly ran up to Lu Qiaoge. Qin Hengzhi said: “I’ll wait for you ahead.”
An Leilei watched Qin Hengzhi leave, her breathing evening out, then she smiled: “Did I disturb you two?”
Lu Qiaoge chose to tell the truth: “No, you did disturb us.”
An Leilei chuckled, then said: “Qiao Ge, I really like those clothes you bought for me; thank you, Qiao Ge.”
During the exhibition fair, An Leilei had gone with the theater troupe for an out-of-town performance and missed the fair.
Lu Qiaoge called Lu Min’s work unit; she knew Lu Min knew An Leilei, so she asked Lu Min to find her. She fronted the money and selected things worth over three hundred yuan for An Leilei.
Not too much, not too little, just right.
Then Lu Min brought them to An Leilei at the provincial city family courtyard.
Lu Min naturally wanted to get on good terms with An Leilei, so she agreed readily.
And Lu Qiaoge also casually picked a few pieces for her.
An Leilei had returned the night before last.
She was overjoyed seeing the new clothes. She originally planned to go to 516 today to find Lu Qiaoge and pay her back, but heard that Old Bai’s grandson Qin Hengzhi had brought his partner to visit.
She also heard Old Bai took it very seriously and postponed several meetings.
She handed three hundred fifty-eight yuan to Lu Qiaoge, saying softly: “Qiao Ge, you’re so nice; thank you.”
Then she added: “I won’t disturb you and Qin Hengzhi; next time I get the chance, I’ll treat you to a meal.”
At this time, Lu Yaqin was in the kitchen, her eyes unconsciously watching the winter melon pork rib soup in the sand pot, but her two hands were tightly clenched together.
A trace of envy surged in her heart, but actually more jealousy.
Both from humble backgrounds, why when she married Old Bai, everyone said she was climbing high and shameless.
It even caused her son to be ostracized by peers in this compound.
Not to mention Bai Jin Xin and her siblings, who never regarded her.
But was it her fault?
She just wanted to live a better life.
Tell me, which woman doesn’t want to marry a good man?
When the opportunity came, why not seize it?
Was Lu Qiaoge dating Qin Hengzhi so pure?
Wasn’t she trying to use Qin Hengzhi to enter this circle?
What ability did she herself have?
That woman Bai Jin Xin, to gild her own face, praised her with eyes closed and conscience ignored.
