Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 343 They never engage in internal strife or torment themselves.
Qin Hengzhi said, "Let's go find Cao Jing first. As long as she hasn't lost her memory, we can tell from her expression whether she has any relationship with your second aunt."

Yes, that makes sense.

Lu Qiaoge asked, "What if there's a connection?"

Qin Hengzhi replied naturally, "Of course, they will be taken away for interrogation. I will find an expert interrogator. Although I cannot personally intervene, I can guarantee that the entire process will be fair and impartial."

If it's true, as long as fairness is maintained, that's fine.

Lu Qiaoge stopped discussing her second aunt's matter with Qin Hengzhi.

In fact, everything is unknown.

Perhaps that maid and the second aunt had no relation at all.

My second aunt may have really sacrificed herself.

The disappearance of my second aunt's husband may not have anything to do with my second aunt.

So there's no point in dwelling on it. Go find Cao Jing tonight, and just like Qin Hengzhi said, observe her expression.

It's okay if she doesn't say anything.

Standing here, looking out over the mountains, I think the scenery of the maple leaves turning red is truly beautiful.

Since we're already hiking, let's take a stroll around a bit.

After all, this is the only season when you can see the mountains covered in red leaves.

Qin Hengzhi had already told his grandmother and the others that he wouldn't be home for lunch when he left in the morning.

After returning from Fragrant Hills, they drove to the Beidu Hotel.

Aside from local specialties, the rest of the dishes were all Lu Qiaoge's favorites.

As for Qin Hengzhi, perhaps because he is a soldier, he is not picky about food and can eat anything.

Nowadays, the food at every restaurant tastes different.

It seems that every master chef has a unique skill.

There aren't many seasonings to stimulate the taste buds; the flavor mostly comes from the ingredients themselves.

After eating and drinking their fill, they didn't go downstairs immediately, but instead stood in front of the private room window looking outside.

There are very few high-rise buildings around this grand hotel.

The field of vision is relatively wide.

The autumn sky was clear and crisp, as if it had been washed clean, a bright and clear blue without a trace of impurity.

A few wisps of thin clouds floated like light gauze, occasionally blown away by the wind, and then slowly gathered again.

Such scenery is very refreshing.

Lu Qiaoge looked downstairs and saw ginkgo trees planted there. At this moment, the ginkgo leaves were golden and beautiful.

In her previous life, her ancestral home was not Beidu, but she was born in Beidu.

Although she was familiar with the city decades later, the main buildings remained unchanged. The view from this location was unchanged, and the ginkgo tree downstairs still stood in front of the hotel a century later.

Just then, Qin Hengzhi pointed to a building not far away and said to Lu Qiaoge, "That's No. 1 Primary School. I went to primary school there. In the second semester of second grade, the homeroom teacher wanted to talk to my parents. At that time, my parents went to the Northwest Base, my grandfather wasn't home, and my grandmother went to another place."

Only my eldest sister was home. When I got back, I told her that the teacher was going to make a home visit that evening. Aunt Guo was also there, and she suggested calling my second uncle to come over, but my eldest sister waved her hand and said no, she could be my brother's parent.

Lu Qiaoge smiled and thought, "Yes, that's definitely Qin Ruixue's personality."

Qin Hengzhi continued, "The teacher is here. He mainly said that I don't pay attention in class, but I still get perfect scores on all the tests. He hopes my older sister can pass on this to the adults in the family."

Then my older sister asked the teacher: Is there a problem with this? Shouldn't the main focus be on exam scores?
I remember the teacher saying that during class he was either playing with marbles or folding paper airplanes, or drawing with a pencil, which would disturb other students.

My older sister is six years younger than me. She had just started junior high school and was going through a particularly rebellious phase. So she said, "My brother is a genius. How can he compare to those idiots? My brother has already learned everything. Isn't it normal for him not to pay attention in class?" That's where the argument started.

Lu Qiaoge asked curiously, "And then what?"

"Then the teacher stood up angrily and said, 'Since he is a genius, I probably can't teach him in this class. How about this, I'll ask the principal tomorrow to test your brother. If he really is a genius, we can't delay him. He should skip a grade as soon as possible.'"

After my grandparents returned, in less than two weeks, I skipped from second grade to fifth grade. That autumn, I entered junior high school.

Lu Qiaoge listened with a smile on her face. It was quite interesting to learn about Qin Hengzhi's childhood from this perspective, and she also understood why Qin Hengzhi suddenly brought up Qin Ruixue.

Qin Hengzhi's gaze was very complicated.

He had a very good relationship with his older sister when he was little.

He was able to skip a grade thanks to his sister's recklessness.

Otherwise, I'd have to learn addition and subtraction within ten with those little kids.

But actually, he was already at the junior high school level at that time.

Grandpa and Grandma knew, but they didn't take it to heart.

After all, they are still too young.

He's only eight years old (by Chinese reckoning). If he goes to junior high, he won't be able to play with older kids, and he won't be able to play with other kids his own age.

But due to unforeseen circumstances, he ended his primary school life early and then only stayed in the first year of junior high school for two years before going to the gifted youth program.

“I don’t know why my older sister is so obsessed with Gu Jingwen’s feelings, which has led to her current obsessive behavior.”

Lu Qiaoge asked, "Does Gu Jingwen have any contact with your family?"

Qin Hengzhi shook his head and said calmly, "He hates our family to the core and has no contact with us whatsoever."

Lu Qiaoge frowned: "Did you also try to persuade her to get a divorce?"

"Yes, but she disagrees. She said if we get a divorce, she will die and her family will be buried with her."

Lu Qiaoge also found it very troublesome.

Qin Ruixue is different from Wei Xia. Wei Xia only hurts herself and never hurts others.

Just like the day she was expelled, she went to find Jiang Chusheng and Du Wanqing. Jiang Chusheng told her to die, and Du Wanqing mocked her as a coward. Under those circumstances, she didn't lay a hand on either of them or even curse at them.

Some people only hurt themselves, or those who are good to them.

But some people attack indiscriminately.

Qin Ruixue's personality is similar to the one described above—if I can't have it, no one else can either; if I'm not doing well, no one else can either.

How should we deal with someone like that?
They never engage in internal strife or torment themselves.

If you leave her with nothing and to worry about survival, she might go even crazier.
Lu Qiaoge thought that this was probably why even Qin Hengzhi remained indifferent in the end.

Since we can't control it, should we just pretend it doesn't exist?
Qin Hengzhi reached out and took Lu Qiaoge's hand, gently holding it in his palm.

His large hand enveloped Lu Qiaoge's small hand, and a faint warmth flowed from his palm.

It seemed to spread throughout the body very quickly.

Qin Hengzhi originally wanted to soothe Lu Qiaoge's emotions, but unexpectedly, he was soothed by Lu Qiaoge instead.

He didn't let go, his gaze fixed intently on Lu Qiaoge: "I know you are strong-willed and won't take ordinary provocations seriously. You wouldn't care about people like Jiang Lan. Even if my older sister causes you trouble, you can easily resolve it. But I still want to apologize to you. These unpleasant things that happened because of me have caused you trouble."
