Chapter 209 My Qiao Ge Follows Reason, Not Family

But Zhen Xi still told Lu Qiaoge, "The instant noodle production line you requested has been shipped. I've asked them to transfer it directly to Jiangcheng. Once it arrives, I'll prepare to return to Gangcheng."

Standing in the shade, Lu Qiaoge listened to Zhen Xi's words and noticed that Xiao Ka and the other two were all staring at her.

Because Zhen Xi was talking to her, what was meant by secretly watching her turned into openly watching her.

Lu Qiaoge pretended not to notice.

She said with a smile, "Thank you so much for your help, Mr. Zhen. Once the instant noodles are ready, I will definitely send you a box to try."

Zhen Xi remembered something, frowned, and waved her hand, saying, "Never mind, I don't really like it, so forget it."

Director Zhou chimed in, "I ate it once in Shanghai, and it wasn't even as good as Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste)."

Lu Qiaoge smiled but remained silent.

Director Zhou's eyes flickered. Lu Qiaoge was no ordinary person; there must be a reason why she insisted on having this production line.

He said, "I want to try your food once it's produced."

Lu Qiaoge readily agreed.

She's not considering selling to the public for the time being. After all, it's 1975 now, and she has to take it one step at a time. First, she needs to develop instant noodles that taste the same as those from later generations, and then she can submit a report to her superiors.

Zhen Xi said generously, "Director Lu, if you need anything, please feel free to call me anytime."

Lu Qiaoge thanked Zhen Xi.

Afterwards, Director Zhou greeted Chen Feng and Liu Dahui, and they all got into the car. The car then turned around and drove towards the city.

Zhou Shanshan stood next to Liu Dahui, her eyes filled with smugness.

Liu Dahui looked relieved when he saw the jeep drive away.

Unexpectedly, the last jeep stopped.

Zhang Lixue got out of the car again.

The car remained parked, but no one got out.

Zhang Lixue didn't waste any time. He took off his glasses and threw them on the side of the road, then strode up to Liu Dahui and said, "Do you remember what I told you? Every time I see you, I'll beat you up. You bastard, she waited for you for eight years, and you almost killed my sister. What good are a few 'sorry's'? You bastard, you scum..."

Zhang Lixue lunged at Liu Dahui and punched him, knocking him to the ground on the beach.

Lu Qiaoge, on the other hand, saw it clearly.

Liu Dahui is actually very agile and has excellent skills; he can dodge if he wants to.

Zhang Lixue was actually a frail scholar.

But he didn't dodge, and instead rained down punches on Liu Dahui.

Just then, Qin Hengzhi and Wang Zhiguo came across the river carrying two pheasants and three rabbits.

Seeing this, Qin Hengzhi frowned.

Wang Zhiguo whispered to him who this person was, and also mentioned the entanglement between the Zhang and Liu families.

Qin Hengzhi really didn't know this.

Chen Feng tried to stop her, but Dong Xiangqin grabbed him.

"Why are you getting involved? Do you think it's a two-on-one fight?"

Chen Feng snapped out of his daze and stopped in his tracks.

He was getting a little anxious. Luckily, his wife stopped him. Otherwise, if the other party hadn't let go, wouldn't it have turned into a brawl?
To be honest, what Liu Dahui did was really unethical.

He repeatedly assured them that he had nothing to do with Zhou Shanshan.

He simply didn't like Zhang Qiaozhi anymore, and they had nothing in common and couldn't talk to each other.

Moreover, it was his mother who forced him to get engaged to Zhang Qiaozhi.

Then they felt sorry for him.

Naturally, they believed him.

Who would have thought that just days after breaking off his engagement with Zhang Qiaozhi, he would start dating Zhou Shanshan? What else is there to be confused about?
But as brothers, they really couldn't get involved in this matter.

Zhou Shanshan shouted angrily, "Zhang Lixue, your sister Zhang Qiaozhi and Brother Hui have already broken off their engagement and have no relationship anymore. What's wrong with you? Can't you afford to live or can't get married? Why does your Zhang family have to keep bothering Brother Hui?"

Lu Qiaoge was also surprised.

It turns out Zhou Shanshan knew Zhang Lixue.

Lu Qiaoge glared at Zhou Shanshan, who was shouting, and sternly rebuked her, "How can you talk like that? Didn't you see that Brother Liu didn't move? He felt guilty, so he let Zhang Lixue vent his anger. Don't you understand?"

Zhou Shanshan immediately turned her head.

Lu Qiaoge then said apologetically, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just a straightforward person, please don't take it to heart."

She relayed exactly what Zhou Shan had just said to Zhou Shan.

Dong Xiangqin chuckled a few times; this girl really doesn't know how to take a loss.

Zhou Shanshan's face turned ashen with anger, but she only pointed at Qin Hengzhi: "Hengzhi, your brother Liu was beaten, why did you all stand by and do nothing? And... look at your girlfriend, she doesn't help me but helps outsiders. Have I offended her? Why is she treating me like this?"

Qin Hengzhi's gaze was sharp, and his voice was cold: "Liu Dahui can't handle emotional issues properly, he deserves to be beaten!"

She paused for a moment and then said, "My Qiao Ge is fair and impartial. You insulted her sister in front of her brother, which not only didn't settle things but also caused trouble. Is there a problem with her criticizing you from a fair standpoint?"

Everyone:...

Lu Qiaoge glanced at Qin Hengzhi with a smile.

Zhang Lixue stopped.

Zhou Shanshan gritted her teeth and suppressed her shame and anger. Damn it, Qin Hengzhi didn't give her and Brother Hui any face at all.

Liu Dahui also claimed that he and Qin Hengzhi had a life-or-death bond, but that was not the case at all.

She turned her head and saw that none of the people had moved, and sneered, "What camaraderie? I think it's all fake."

Liu Dahui snapped, "Shut up!"

But deep down, I still felt warm inside; that's why Shanshan said that because she loved him.

He held down Zhou Shanshan, who was about to speak again.

Zhou Shanshan's cleverness lies in the fact that when she sees Liu Dahui taking things seriously, she never goes against him.

She shut her mouth, looking aggrieved.

But she wiped away tears with heartache.

Liu Dahui remained seated on the sand, looking up at Zhang Lixue and asking, "Second Brother, have you vented your anger?"

Wang Zhiguo and Chen Feng also came over.

One was called Xiao Zhang, and the other was called Li Xue.

A few words broke the awkward atmosphere, and Zhang Lixue knew when to stop.

He did it on a whim, just to vent his anger.

He sneered and shook off the two of them, but didn't say anything offensive.

But pointing at Zhou Shanshan, he said, "Zhou Shanshan, watch your mouth! If I ever hear my sister's name out of your mouth, I won't let you off the hook!"

After saying that, he turned and walked to where he had discarded his glasses, picked them up, put them on, got into his jeep, and quickly disappeared from sight, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Liu Dahui got up briskly, without any bruises or swelling. Clearly, Zhang Lixue was just teaching him a lesson.

Zhou Shanshan looked at Lu Qiaoge, a surge of resentment rising in her heart.

She cried and accused, "Lu Qiaoge, we're on the same side! Why are you helping outsiders instead of me? Do you know Zhang Qiaozhi's second brother? What's your relationship with him that makes you treat me like this?"

Lu Qiaoge bluntly retorted, "Why don't you ask me what my relationship is with Zhang Qiaozhi?"

Zhou Shanshan: “…”

Lu Qiaoge spread her hands at Liu Dahui: "Brother Liu, why don't you talk to her about why I didn't help her back then? Sigh, my good intentions were completely wasted!"
