Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 787: To Uphold Righteousness and Sever Family Ties?
Sang Juan, puzzled, asked, "What conditions should I set?"

Lu Qiaoge remained patient: "Think about it carefully yourself. For example, would you unconditionally support the two of them? Would you unconditionally let Jiang Wan marry your father?"

Sang Juan shook her head vigorously: "I definitely wouldn't! Now when I think about how pathetic I was back then, I regret it so much. I didn't even say a single strong rebuttal."

"Then you should make some conditions with them. For example, if Jiang Wanzhen marries your father, then any children they have will have no relation to you three siblings."

For example, if Jiang Wan really marries your father, she absolutely cannot live in the government compound where you are now.

Weddings are not allowed, high-profile events are not allowed, and working in Beidu is not allowed.

Just find any place, as long as you're away from the capital.

Regarding the property, your father was at fault first, so he should leave with nothing and relinquish all family assets.

Sang Juan never imagined that she could make such a demand amidst such a chaotic situation.

Moreover, these conditions all sound quite satisfying.

Jiang Wan went to great lengths and schemes to get involved with her father, all just to move into this government compound and into his home.

She used to envy that she could live on the second floor and have a separate bedroom.

Fine, then we'll not let her have her way.

Lu Qiaoge said, "As long as they both agree to these conditions, you can handle this discreetly."

Sang Juan asked Lu Qiaoge, "What if the two of them don't agree? Isn't Jiang Wan the only woman who wants to marry into this family because of these things? If none of these things are available, do you think she'll agree?"

Lu Qiaoge said calmly, "Then tell them that you will report your father to the relevant authorities."

Sang Juan was startled, her eyes widening in disbelief as she stared at Lu Qiaoge: "I...I...I want to report my father?"

“Why not?” Lu Qiaoge retorted. “Your father made a mistake, and a huge one at that. To be honest, Jiang Wan’s purpose isn’t complicated; she just wants to live a better life. But what if she’s an enemy agent? What if she’s a spy sent from abroad?”

Upon hearing this, Sang Juan broke out in a cold sweat.

"So, the mistake your dad made, to put it simply, is a mistake in his relationship with a woman. If it really escalates to that level, do you think it's worth reporting him, worth turning down a family member for the greater good?"

Sang Juan's eyes lit up instantly, and she clenched her fists tightly: "Then I'll go report Dad!"

Lu Qiaoge smiled and waved her hand: "It definitely won't come to that. So your father will agree to all the conditions you mentioned. As for whether Jiang Wantong agrees or not, it doesn't really matter—as long as your father agrees to marry her, none of this matters."

"What if Jiang Wan is dissatisfied and turns around and bites back?"

"It doesn't matter," Lu Qiaoge shrugged. "Since you're already prepared to report your father, what can she do if she turns around and accuses him?"

Sang Juan: ...

Lu Qiaoge continued, "Everyone has vanity in this world, and everyone wants to be respectable. It would be even better if everyone could praise and envy you."

But if you lose all of that, then make yourself more comfortable.

It's not easy for a person to come into this world once, so why punish yourself for someone else's mistakes?

Sang Juan hugged Lu Qiaoge's arm tightly and said in a soft voice, "Lu Qiaoge, how are you so amazing? Why do I feel like you can solve all the problems? Even if you can't solve them, you can still face them well?"

Lu Qiaoge blinked: "Yeah, why?" It must be related to my experience.

From a life of wealth and comfort to the end of the world when order collapsed, and then to being all alone... what kind of people haven't I seen, what kind of things haven't I experienced?
Compared to these things, it seems that nothing in this world is truly difficult.

She casually added, "Nothing is impossible for a willing heart."

Just then, Little Cangcang flew into the dormitory from outside.

Seeing Sang Juan and her young master sitting together, it hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Young master, I need to tell you something about Qin Hengzhi."

Lu Qiaoge reached out and patted Sang Juan: "I have something to do and need to go out for a bit. You should also get some rest. You've made up your mind, but you should still discuss it with your grandparents and your mother. Oh, and your older brother too—they all need to agree."

Sang Juan said firmly, "I guarantee they will all agree!"

Lu Qiaoge smiled but didn't say anything.

But in my heart I was thinking: I'm sure your mother and your older brother will agree, but I don't know about your grandparents.

However, that's your own business.

Keep it up, girl!
After Sang Juan left, Lu Qiaoge put on her coat and left the dormitory building.

At the gate, they encountered Han Jiaying carrying a paper bag.

Han Jiaying was overjoyed to see Lu Qiaoge: "I really didn't expect to run into you by chance. I was wondering if you were in the dorm or not. If you weren't, I wouldn't know where to look for you."

As she spoke, she handed the bag to Lu Qiaoge, "These are roasted sweet potatoes from home, mailed from the farm where we used to live. I love these sweet potatoes, especially when they're roasted, they smell so good!"

Lu Qiaoge had no choice but to take it, smell it, and said with a smile, "Mmm, it smells so good."

Han Jiaying was even happier; she had been worried that Lu Qiaoge would find it distasteful. She added, "Then I'll go to the logistics department."

After thinking for a moment, she glanced around, lowered her voice, and said to Lu Qiaoge, "I have something else to tell you. Two middle-aged men wearing glasses went to the principal's office to check your file. I overheard them when I passed by, but I couldn't hear anything after the door closed."

Lu Qiaoge really didn't know about this.

She thanked Han Jiaying with a smile.

Han Jiaying felt she was somewhat useful, and whispered a reminder: "I've heard your name in logistics. My dad says that the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind. Many people praise you, but there are definitely people who want to ruin you. Besides, those two seem to be from the National Security Bureau. Qiao Ge, be careful."

After Han Jiaying left, Lu Qiaoge frowned slightly.

It's different in Jiangcheng and in the north.

Just like Han Jiaying said, there are many people who want the best for themselves, and there are probably quite a few who want the worst for themselves as well.

So what are they investigating about me?

However, Qin Hengzhi's matter is more important right now.

Lu Qiaoge quickly put the matter out of her mind, found a secluded spot, and entered her spatial dimension.

Xiao Cangcang followed them inside and told Lu Qiaoge, "[It wasn't me who discovered it; it was Rat Big and Rat Two who found it. They're still at their secret base. They said we can't go into the space and we have to keep a close watch on them at all times.]"
