Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 346 I'm worried you can't handle it

Because Qiao Ge spoke.

She saw that the little girl's expression was calm, and she didn't seem angry at all.

I must say, this girl is really well-mannered.

Qin Ruixue is already twenty-eight, yet she's not as good as a nineteen-year-old girl. She's really wasted her life.

But the next moment, as the two exchanged words, she sensed something unusual.

Hmm, something seems off.

Then I saw the complicated expression on my eldest grandson's face.

Normally, the eldest grandson would be the one to speak up at this point.

Otherwise, what would it become?

So we can leave it for now?

All thoughts are fleeting, and the back-and-forth exchanges last only a few minutes.

If someone's thinking is slower, they might not be able to understand it at this point.

Before Qin Ruixue could finish speaking, Lu Qiaoge showed a troubled expression: "I just found out about this myself. I'm still wondering whether I should tell you or not."

Qin Ruixue had never met a girl like Lu Qiaoge before.

In fact, she was already prepared for Lu Qiaoge to be so angry that she cried and then she would be scolded.

She's happy as long as the people the Qin family cares about are unhappy.

They couldn't do anything to her.

Should she be locked up just because she said those things?
There is no such regulation.

Cut off ties?

She won't admit it unless it's published in the newspaper.

How could my grandparents, who are so concerned about their image, possibly publish a notice in the newspaper to sever ties with her?
Therefore, Qin Ruixue was fearless and ready to see Lu Qiaoge make a fool of himself.

Besides, she didn't make things up out of thin air; what she said was simply the truth.

She had even prepared in advance how she would retaliate if Lu Qiaoge or Qin Hengzhi refuted her.

But to my surprise, my younger brother didn't say anything.

And then Lu Qiaoge actually had this expression.

Qin Ruixue's attention was instantly drawn to this, and she angrily retorted, "No wonder you're from a small town. You're so hesitant and stammering. What is it? What do you mean by 'should tell me' or 'shouldn't tell me'? If you have something to say, just say it. If you have nothing to say, just shut up."

Lu Qiaoge remained calm but spoke each word clearly: "I'm worried you won't be able to handle it after hearing this."

The courtyard fell silent instantly.

Only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the treetops could be heard.

Qin Ruixue was so angry she was about to explode: "Just tell me what happened!"

Her face was ashen, as if she was about to rush in and slap Lu Qiaoge if he didn't say something.

Lu Qiaoge remained unmoved: "Before I tell you, you have to promise me that you won't complain about me telling you this."

"It just so happens that Grandma Qin and Hengzhi are both here. They can testify. As long as you say you don't blame me, I'll tell you what happened."

Qin Ruixue was absolutely furious. She said in a fit of exasperation, "Ugh, I'm so annoyed! Lu Qiaoge, you brat, just say what you want to say! I... I won't complain, I want to see what kind of nonsense you can come up with."

What could she possibly not be able to bear? She's encountered the most difficult things in the world, and she's overcome them all, hasn't she?
"A week ago, Gu Jingwen was secretly sent back to Beidu by a special plane. He is currently at the First People's Hospital of Beidu. He has contracted a very serious infectious disease and is said to not have much time left."

His only wish now is that the Qin family, especially you, Qin Ruixue, will not know about his illness and return home.

He said he doesn't want to see you, either before or after he dies! He's currently in isolation. However, his former lover is with him, and that woman doesn't mind getting infected.

She said that if she couldn't be with him in life, she would be with him in death.

Even Grandpa Qin didn't know about this!

In the courtyard came Lu Qiaoge's clear yet piercing voice.

It was like a bolt from the blue!

The color drained from Qin Ruixue's face instantly, as if she had been slapped hard across the face or doused with a bucket of ice water.

Her eyes widened in shock and panic, her pupils contracted violently, and her lips trembled, but she couldn't utter a single word.

Qin Hengzhi's previously complicated expression suddenly hardened.

Grandma Qin dropped the broom in her hand with a thud. The anger on the old woman's face had not yet completely dissipated when she was stunned by the sudden shock.

Her mind was completely blank, and she couldn't think.

She glanced at the swaying Qin Ruixue, then at her eldest grandson with his cold eyes, and finally at Lu Qiaoge with a serious expression.

The air was eerily still, with only Qin Ruixue's heavy, terrified breathing being particularly clear.

Lu Qiaoge seemed oblivious to Qin Ruixue's breakdown and the tense atmosphere around her. She even took a few steps forward, her clear eyes reflecting Qin Ruixue's disheveled state. Her tone carried just the right amount of doubt and a hint of barely perceptible pity: "Hmm? Sister Qin? You really don't know? So, what are you going to do now?"

Qin Ruixue suddenly took a step back, her body slamming into the door frame with a dull thud.

But she couldn't feel any pain at all.

She stared at Lu Qiaoge's beautiful and harmless face, her mind blank; she was incapable of thinking.

Has Gu Jingwen returned to China?

One week ago!
But he contracted an infectious disease and wouldn't live more than a few days.

really?
is this real?
Lu Qiaoge looked at Qin Ruixue, her voice low but clear like an ice bead falling on a jade plate: "Although Gu Jingwen doesn't want to see you, you are now his legal wife, and you have the right to visit him!"

The courtyard remained silent.

Lu Qiaoge sighed and softened her voice, saying, "It's true, but I don't recommend you go to the hospital. At this time, I hope you can respect Gu Jingwen's wishes and just pretend you don't know anything."

She pulled Qin Ruixue, who was leaning against the door frame, up and said, "Don't go around asking around to verify if it's true or not. This is the truth. This infectious disease is very serious, and there is currently no cure for it."

That specific drug won't be developed for another two years.

Will Gu Jingwen and his lover be able to wait until then?

Lu Qiaoge pulled Qin Ruixue towards the living room.

Aunt Guo, who was standing at the living room doorway wearing an apron and preparing dinner, also heard it.

Although they had little contact, Gu Jingwen held a different significance in the Qin family.

She knew him, of course.

At this moment, Aunt Guo's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Upon entering the living room, Grandma Qin suddenly burst into tears.

Jingwen and Ruixue are the same age.

She's not even thirty yet, so young, how could this happen?
Lu Qiaoge threw the defenseless Qin Ruixue onto the sofa.

Looking down at her, he said, "You'd better not run to the hospital like a madwoman. Normally, the Gu family wouldn't have a good impression of you, and they might actually let you in to visit. But that disease is extremely contagious, and your whole body could be covered in sores in a few days..."

Qin Ruixue stared blankly at Lu Qiaoge, then everything went black and she fainted!
　My darlings, thank you for your monthly votes, recommendations, and subscriptions at the end of the month! Love you all!
