Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 270 Without this captivating appearance

Lu Qiaoge wasn't too surprised. In this relatively conservative era, a woman who could make Lin Junfeng abandon his wife and daughter and force him to commit suicide to divorce her couldn't be an ordinary woman.

She always has her own unique strengths.

So even though Deputy Director Huang had already stopped her, Wei Sixin still asked with a smile, "Deputy Director Huang, excuse me, I wanted to ask, is Comrade Lu Qiaoge here?"

Lu Qiaoge stood up at the right moment and said politely, "Hello, Deputy Director Wei, I am Lu Qiaoge."

Then the person stepped forward and stood in front of Wei Sixin, their voice still gentle and polite, yet seemingly tinged with surprise: "Is there something you need from me?"

Wei Sixin still wore that flawless, gentle smile, but her gaze swept over Lu Qiaoge subtly, like a searchlight.

Just as others had described, she was indeed very young, yet possessed a face that was unforgettable.

Ah, without this captivating appearance, how could she have climbed up to Qin Hengzhi's big tree?
In this world, a pretty face is a woman's greatest asset, both in ancient and modern times.

Deputy Director Huang frowned slightly. Wei Sixin had come earlier that morning and specifically asked Lu Qiaoge to have dinner at the Lin family's house.

As someone who knew some of the Lin family's inside story, Huang Juan felt a strong sense of alarm.

The conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the Lin family seems irreconcilable.

So why did you invite Lu Qiaoge to your house?

If we're talking about thanking someone, it's not your place, Wei Sixin!

Old Huang immediately interrupted, his tone distant and businesslike: "Deputy Director Wei, what a rare guest! We seldom see you at our subdistrict office. Is there something important you need to discuss with Xiao Lu? If it's not urgent, let's talk in my office."

How could Wei Sixin possibly go with her?
With a clear goal in mind, she stepped forward, her voice becoming increasingly intimate and soft, as if Lu Qiaoge were her long-lost younger sister: "Qiaoge, I've been wanting to thank you in person, but I've simply been too busy. I've been busy with work, my in-laws just arrived in Jiangcheng, and there's a ton of stuff going on at home. I finally managed to find some time today."

Lu Qiaoge then feigned a hint of confusion and asked earnestly, "Excuse me, I'd like to ask why you're thanking me. This is our first meeting, and I don't recall ever having any interaction with you."

Wei Sixin was stunned, and almost choked back what she was going to say.

Lu Qiaoge didn't even know whose wife she was or that she was Old Master Lin's daughter-in-law.
A flash of annoyance and unease crossed her face as she looked at Huang Juan standing beside her.

Huang Juan helplessly introduced, "Qiao Ge, this is Deputy Factory Director Lin's wife, Lin Jun'an's second sister-in-law. She came this morning but you weren't here, so we didn't tell you."

Lu Qiaoge said "Oh," as if suddenly realizing something, "Ah, I see."

Then she changed the subject: "You're too kind. You even took time out of your work hours to thank me personally. I was just doing a good deed, so there's no need for thanks. Anyone would have done the same in that situation. You really don't need to come all the way to thank me."

Wei Sixin was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Lu Qiaoge to answer so quickly.

Moreover, this sounds rather awkward.

What does it mean to utilize work time?

She had seen too many girls in their late teens and early twenties, after all, she worked at the Cultural Palace, a place with the most young girls.

They were young and naive, even shy, and they were nervous speaking, especially in front of a leader like her.

Wei Sixin sneered inwardly. It was said that Lu Qiaoge had dealings with Hong Kong businessmen in the city. He had indeed seen the world.

Wei Sixin didn't intend to waste any time here. She paused, then her smile deepened, carrying an air of undeniable authority: "Xiao Lu, my mother-in-law has specially prepared a table full of delicious food, just waiting for you. I came by this morning, but unfortunately you weren't here. Now is the perfect time, Qiao Ge, would you do me the honor of coming over for a casual dinner tonight?" Lu Qiao Ge glanced at the smile on Wei Sixin's face.

No wonder Xiao Cangcang said she was a good actress; this woman is indeed quite talented.

Lu Qiaoge met her gaze, and the corners of her lips curved into a perfectly measured smile, appearing very polite, yet carrying a hint of scrutiny that was barely perceptible.

This woman is a bit clever and calculating. Logically, she shouldn't have come to the neighborhood office's main office and publicly invited her to her home for dinner.

Even if she comes to work, we can call her out separately, or go to Aunt Huang's office, which would be better than staying here.

From Xiao Cangcang's description, it's clear that this woman is now very arrogant.

Simply put, they didn't take Lu Qiaoge seriously.

Anyway, it's all because of you, Lu Qiaoge, who's making trouble.

Otherwise, how could the Lin family have found Lin Jun'an?
anger?
This woman is living too comfortably; she really does whatever she wants.

Lu Qiaoge didn't immediately answer whether she would go or not. Instead, she glanced at Huang Juan and then turned to look at her colleagues behind her.

She then met Wei Sixin's calculating gaze and asked in a soft but serious voice, "Deputy Director Wei, may I ask you a question?"

Wei Sixin was already prepared with what she would say next in response to Lu Qiaoge's answer to whether or not to go.

But to her surprise, Lu Qiaoge asked her a question?
She had no choice but to patiently ask, "What do you want to ask?"

What should I call you now?

Wei Sixin paused for a moment before saying, "Is this really that important?"

Her gentle expression faltered, and she frowned.

Lu Qiaoge's voice was clear and bright: "Of course it's important. If you invite me to your house for dinner as Deputy Director Wei, even if it's sudden and presumptuous, it would be disrespectful of me to say no. After all, you are a leader of the Cultural Palace, and my cousin works there. I'm worried that you might take your anger out on my cousin. Even if I don't want to go, I have to go!"

The entire office fell silent instantly; even the sound of turning pages disappeared, and all eyes were focused on the two of them.

For the first time, the smile on Wei Sixin's face froze noticeably.

She hadn't expected Lu Qiaoge to say such a thing, and the smile on her face was almost impossible to maintain. Looking at Lu Qiaoge, she clenched her hands, realizing that this was all unexpected.

I suddenly remembered someone saying that Lu Qiaoge was sharp-tongued, and now that I see it's true.

She knew that Lu Qiaoge and Lu Qiaoqing were cousins. This girl was no simpleton; she had put herself in such a position so directly.

Wei Sixin felt resentful. What an ungrateful wretch! How dare he speak to me like that? He's asking for it.

Suppressing her anger, she rolled her eyes, barely managing to maintain the smile on her lips, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible embarrassment and annoyance: "Qiao Ge, what are you saying? It's just a simple home-cooked meal, why make it so complicated? I just sincerely want to thank you."

Lu Qiaoge didn't laugh, but said very seriously, "Since you're calling yourself 'sister,' you're no longer Deputy Director Wei. So your current identity is Deputy Factory Director Lin's wife. Then I can't go. Don't you know that when Shen Yun led the rumors about me and my family, your husband believed it and participated in it? He even sent people to reprimand my grandmother. Although he publicly apologized at the meeting, and although the leaders are magnanimous and won't retaliate against me, a mere mediator, my grandmother holds a grudge. If she finds out that I suddenly came to your house for dinner, she'll definitely scold me for being shameless and forgetful!"
