Chapter 299: That Girl Is Not To Be Messed With
Lu Qiaoge’s face darkened: “They wouldn’t want to come to our house, would they?”
Xiao Cangcang clapped its little paws: 【Little Master, you’re too smart. Zhao Jinbao had his parents come to our house. He said he still likes Lu Qiaoling and won’t marry anyone else!】
Lu Qiaoge thought that even if they came, Meng Xia and Lu Da wouldn’t agree.
However, would Section Chief Zhao have the face to come?
“What’s the Zhao Family’s reaction?”
【To make him eat, his parents and Sister Zhao all agreed. Now they’re watching Zhao Jinbao eat.】
At Xiao Cangcang’s speed, Zhao Jinbao might not have eaten much before Xiao Cangcang got home.
Lu Qiaoge said: “You can play with Hua Hua a bit before going. It’s not too late.”
Xiao Cangcang nodded, then it started playing with Hua Hua.
How to describe it? It looked like Hua Hua was catching Xiao Cangcang, but actually it was more like Xiao Cangcang was teasing Hua Hua.
Because Xiao Cangcang’s speed was really too fast.
With Hua Hua’s current strength, it really couldn’t catch Xiao Cangcang, but the big and small ones played very happily.
By the time Lu Qiaoge finished writing the one-week work report needed for tomorrow’s meeting, Xiao Cangcang had run off to the Zhao Family again.
The Zhao Family at this time.
Zhao Jinbao had gone to sleep.
Section Chief Zhao said to Sister Zhao: “It’s past nine already. Hurry home.”
Sister Zhao glanced at her mother and asked with a furrowed brow: “You’re really going?”
Tian Ying glared at her son’s bedroom door. What a worry.
She was from the Factory Department’s comprehensive education office, in charge of education work for two primary schools and two middle schools in the family courtyard.
The primary school where Meng Xia worked was under Xiangyang Neighborhood Committee, First Primary School, with a night school and middle school nearby.
Strictly speaking, Meng Xia was her subordinate, a school worker. Though she didn’t look down on school workers, wasn’t it a bit awkward for the in-laws to do this?
She only found out later. It was a blind date with Lu Qiaoling. The eldest daughter was forced by Jinbao to find someone to make the introduction. She went late because the eldest daughter didn’t agree. At that time, the Lu Family’s conditions were poor, and she didn’t want her daughter-in-law’s maternal home to be a burden. But she still went, and came back fuming.
That was fine, anyway, they wouldn’t contact each other later. Not succeeding was a relief.
But who would have thought Jinbao wouldn’t give up. A few days ago, he went to find Lu Qiaoling again. Unexpectedly, Lu Qiaoling not only refused but scolded Jinbao. Though she was unhappy inside, it was good that she scolded him, so he wouldn’t miss Lu Qiaoling anymore.
Who would have thought… later he actually wanted a blind date with Lu Cheng’s daughter.
Tian Ying had a bit of a headache.
Why did it have to be a Lu Family daughter?
She said irritably: “Not going. If the two of us really go to the Lu Family, we’d become a joke in the family courtyard.”
Section Chief Zhao also said: “That’s it for this matter. The Lu Family doesn’t agree, so we naturally won’t visit. And remember, don’t talk nonsense. Absolutely don’t mention anything about the Lu Family. Lu Da’s second daughter Lu Qiaoge is no pushover. That young woman is very difficult to deal with.”
Sister Zhao sneered disdainfully.
How could a little girl not yet twenty be difficult to deal with?
Then she thought of something and reluctantly suppressed her disdainful expression.
Her temper was bad, and her words were vicious.
Moreover, she had great strength. Ordinary men weren’t her match.
Tian Ying also said: “Your dad is right. Lu Qiaoge is now highly regarded by the authorities, but her reputation is polarized. Many praise her, but plenty criticize her too.
If Lu Qiaoling had agreed, that would be fine. The problem now is Lu Qiaoling doesn’t agree, and… that Lu Qiaoqing doesn’t agree either. Granny Wang didn’t say why, but I think Lu’s eldest daughter said something.
I haven’t dealt with Lu Qiaoge, but I heard the food factory she set up is going to some trade fair. Even the local foreign trade section has connections with her.”
Then she sighed: “Actually, if it really worked out, it would be pretty good. The Lu Family now isn’t the Lu Family of before. Not to mention Lu Qiaoling has a job now, even Lu Qiaoge—her partner is Qin Hengzhi, and she has real ability at work. You see how much limelight she gets, but have you heard the neighborhood committee cadres jealous of her and suppressing her?”
Especially those old-timers like Old Qiao and Old Hua.
Sister Zhao sneered coldly: “How could there not be talk? Accountant Shen and Liu Jing are examples. Liu Jing hates her to death. And Wei Sixin invited her to dinner, but she didn’t give any face and flipped out at Wei Sixin right then. Doesn’t Wei Sixin hate her? If you really count them up, there are plenty.”
Tian Ying furrowed her brow: “Then look at how they all ended up?”
Without waiting for Sister Zhao to speak, she waved her hand: “That’s it for this matter. Pretend it never happened. You sisters must not go causing trouble for the Lu Family. Got it?”
Sister Zhao pursed her lips, picked up her shoulder bag, and left.
Section Chief Zhao and Tian Ying exchanged a glance, both involuntarily furrowing their brows.
They had been living good days, but now there was this extra trouble.
They still needed to find a way to dispel Jinbao’s obsession.
Xiao Cangcang stayed a while, saw everyone resting, then flew back to the Lu Family. On the way, it conveniently stopped by Uncle Lu’s house and discovered Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang muttering about finding someone what kind of for Qingqing. Grandpa Jiang said she shouldn’t worry, there were plenty of good young men—at the research institute there were young researchers, in the guard squad too, even in the factory. Take it slow, she’s not yet twenty, what’s the rush…
Grandma Jiang fell silent, and the room quieted down.
After Xiao Cangcang told these things to Lu Qiaoge, it went to rest at the new house side.
Lu Qiaoge wasn’t too surprised. Sister Zhao had always liked to look down on people. Such a reaction wasn’t strange.
As long as they knew their place.
But she felt Zhao Jinbao wasn’t giving up.
The next morning, Lu Qiaoge said to Lu Qiaoling: “Come on, let’s go to work together.”
Lu Qiaoling happily followed.
The Lu Family now had two more bicycles. One was ridden by Lu Zhiguo, the other by Lu Qiaoling.
Lu Zhiyu and Meng Xia always walked together every day. It wasn’t far, so they could walk.
Lu Zhiguo had already left first to take Su Hui to work. Lu Qiaoge and Lu Qiaoling followed behind. When they reached the corner, Lu Qiaoge told Lu Qiaoling that Zhao Jinbao was likely still not giving up.
Lu Qiaoge glanced at Qiaoling. The little girl was very smart, with rare clear-headed wits. She knew what she should want and what she shouldn’t.
Moreover, she was genuinely close to her this older sister.
After speaking, she paused, then Lu Qiaoge looked at her annoyed younger sister and said lightly: “Qiaoling, can you handle this yourself? If not, leave it to me.”
Lu Qiaoling stomped her feet in anger, gritting her teeth: “That disgusting thing, self-absorbed since childhood with no wits. His family conditions were good, always had candy for him to eat. He loved using candied hawthorns and candy to tease us. Whoever was nice to him, even if he gave candy, he’d hold it in his mouth for a while before spitting it out to give. So gross…”
Lu Qiaoge: …
What kind of thing was this?
Lu Qiaoling immediately raised her hand: “I didn’t eat it, and I didn’t want it anyway. Besides, when we were little, Second Uncle always gave us mailed candy.”
As soon as the words landed, both were stunned. It seemed like a long time since they’d heard any news from Second Uncle.
