Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 143 Can't you understand human language?
An Leilei's mind was a bit of a mess.

Of course, it was just chaos, without any other emotions.

Did Lu Min think she was the same as her?

No, they are different!
Even if she never finds a partner in her entire life, her family won't say anything to her.

Unlike Cao Lanzhu, who made marrying Qin Hengzhi her goal.

Qin Hengzhi is very good; he's the best man she's ever met.

But she was proud, and since Qin Hengzhi didn't fancy her, she wouldn't keep chasing after him.

But unexpectedly, Lu Qiaoge was Qin Hengzhi's girlfriend.

She didn't see him clearly that day in the theater, but she knew Qin Hengzhi was sitting below.

So Lu Min saw Lu Qiaoge that day?

All thoughts are fleeting.

She had already seen Lu Qiaoge and Qin Hengzhi walking side by side.

Qin Hengzhi wasn't wearing his military uniform today; he was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, standing tall and handsome.

An Leilei then saw Lu Qiaoge.

She was Lu Qiaoge, whom she had only met that morning; their only interaction was a phone call.

The reason she stood at the door wasn't because she was worried that Lu Qiaoge wouldn't know the way. Judging from her dignified and respectful attitude towards Zhen Xi that morning, she was no ordinary person.

Besides, even Old Lin praised her.

And how could someone who can come to that conference room be an ordinary person?

Not to mention that he also had his superiors accompanying him.

How can she be compared to someone like her who is being held captive?

Therefore, she didn't think Lu Qiaoge was an unsophisticated girl, and the reason she waited for her was out of respect.

But who would have thought that I would see this scene?

Summer days in the north are typically very long, so the sky was still bright at this time.

Lu Qiaoge wore a beige shirt and a brown plaid skirt, and she and Qin Hengzhi were a perfect match. How to describe it? They were like a perfect couple.

What's most attractive about a man like Qin Hengzhi isn't his looks, but his aura. To walk alongside him without being overshadowed, one must have a similar aura to match him.

Lu Qiaoge is such a girl.

Her unique aura possesses both the refined elegance of the misty rain of Jiangnan and the dashing spirit of an independent woman.

She is a girl who is somewhere between gentle and radiant.

This makes Lu Qiaoge particularly attractive.

Lu Min stood to the side, pursing her lips, but had no time to pay attention to that; she could only look at Cao Lanzhu, who was being stopped.

She knew that the two men were Cao Lanzhu's cousin and cousin-in-law.

She didn't know anything else, but she knew that there were still people in the Cao family who supported Cao Lanzhu. Otherwise, even if she was a college student in Beidu and a proud daughter of heaven, she wouldn't be qualified to join the inspection team.

There's no way around it; the Cao family is currently at the height of its power.

Given Cao Lanzhu's character, the fact that she was recommended to Beidu University shows that she is often two-faced.

I wonder what kind of trouble this crazy woman, spoiled by the Cao family, will cause today.

When Cao Lanzhu saw Qin Hengzhi not far away, her eyes lit up immediately. He was still so handsome. His profile seemed to be gilded with gold in the sunset, so handsome that it made her heart flutter.

She and he were from the same compound, grew up together, and were childhood sweethearts as described in books. She always dreamed of marrying Hengzhi when she grew up.

How much she used to like this person! From childhood to adulthood, this feeling was like a seed that took root and sprouted in her heart, hoping to bloom into a beautiful flower.

But everything changed after that day. Dreams were just an excuse; she had to charge forward with her eyes closed.

Just as Cao Lanzhu was about to run towards Qin Hengzhi, she was grabbed by the middle-aged woman, who then warned her in a low voice: "Cao Lanzhu, can't you understand human language? I've told you eight hundred times, Qin Hengzhi has a girlfriend. Why can't you understand? This is a square, so many people are watching. What are you going to do there? Chat or gossip? What if Qin Hengzhi ignores you? It's okay if you lose face, but who will be embarrassed, you know?"

Cao Lanzhu stared at the woman in disbelief, then snapped angrily, "Who do you think you are to dare insult me? Cousin, are you just going to stand there and watch? She's insulting me! She's gone too far! I'm going to tell Grandpa and make sure you two get a divorce..."

The man's face darkened, and he glared at his wife standing to the side before noticing a sharp gaze sweeping over them.

He hurriedly looked in the direction of his gaze and saw that Qin Hengzhi, who had been walking with his partner, had stopped. The icy gaze from Qin Hengzhi sent a chill down his spine.

He clenched his fist, not understanding why a person's gaze could be so deadly.

But a sense of unease began to stir within me.

This kid's current status isn't solely due to his background.

Last year he went to the Xisha battlefield and was awarded a first-class merit.

Although it's just a few simple words, only those who have been on the battlefield can understand the bloodshed and turmoil contained within.

Why offend someone like that?
This cousin is really spoiled by her family.

But he also felt sorry for his cousin.

Her current behavior might just be a deliberate act by the Cao family.

Having successfully attached themselves to Qin Hengzhi, the Cao family and the Qin family are now a community of shared interests. The Qin family may seem to be keeping a low profile now, but they are a formidable force that cannot be easily shaken.

If they're in-laws, then it's a different story.

Besides, even if it doesn't work out, it's Cao Lanzhu who will lose face, not anyone else.

He grabbed Cao Lanzhu's arm, his expression unusually stern: "Cao Lanzhu, if you want to attend the ball, you'd better listen to your cousin-in-law. If you don't, I'll take you away right now."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief.

The cold smile on her lips disappeared; thankfully, her husband was a sensible person.

The Cao family is too cunning; they actually used Cao Lanzhu, this fool, as a pawn.

But that's your Cao family's business, why should it involve my family?
Don't you know who's in charge of Jiangcheng?

Cao Lanzhu didn't react for a moment, but when she did, she shouted loudly at Lu Min: "Lu Min, get over here right now!"

In an instant, the once noisy open space fell silent.

After Cao Lanzhu arrived in Jiangcheng, she was told that she was not allowed to go to the military factory.

She couldn't even attend the performance that day.

I've been holding back my anger for a long time.

Now that her cousin was stopping and scolding her, she didn't dare to talk back to him and could only go and call Lu Min.

Meanwhile, An Leilei and Lu Min were exchanging pleasantries with Lu Qiaoge.

Let's go back five minutes.

Qin Hengzhi wisely stopped and didn't come over.

Lu Qiaoling went to buy popsicles and got off the bus at the intersection, but she hasn't returned yet.

An Leilei quickly regained her composure; she had been a little out of line, and Qin Hengzhi hadn't even glanced at her.

So, An Leilei, who had been provoked by Zhen Xi, snapped out of her daze and greeted her with a big smile, "Qiao Ge, you're here."

"Thank you for your invitation." Lu Qiaoge smiled, her eyes curving into crescents.

Lu Qiaoge and Lu Min nodded and smiled at each other.

Although Lu Min felt a little awkward, she returned the smile.

“Mr. Zhen has arrived,” An Leilei said in a low voice. “Because of his status, the province is paying special attention to him. He has a personal accompaniment and should be in the lounge now.”
