Chapter 114: The blind date that day was you!

Sure enough, Sister Qiao's words were verified.

Liu Cuixia's eyes were bloodshot as she stared fixedly at Gu Zhendong: "You and Wang Xiaomin cannot get married!"

Gu Zhendong asked in a panic: "Why?"

Liu Cuixia: "Because I'm pregnant!"

Except for Sister Qiao and Lu Qiao, everyone's eyes widened, looking at Liu Cuixia and Gu Zhendong in disbelief.

Gu Zhendong's vision went black; he almost fell over.

As for Wang Xiaomin, her face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color; the joy from just a moment ago vanished completely.

She even forgot to question Liu Cuixia.

Perhaps her mind was blank at this moment.

Sister Hua slapped her fountain pen onto the desk and asked sternly: "Speak, what exactly is going on?"

This question was very serious; if not handled well, something big would happen.

Lu Qiao, however, looked at Liu Cuixia's expression and felt that her goal didn't seem to be just to stir up trouble between Wang Xiaomin and Gu Zhendong.

After a brief shock, Gu Zhendong almost jumped up. He roared: "Liu Cuixia, you're talking nonsense! I haven't even kissed you, let alone touched you. How could you possibly be pregnant?"

He then added in a panic: "Let's go to the hospital. If you are pregnant, it's someone else's. If you aren't, you're slandering me, and I'm going to report you to the police station."

Liu Cuixia wasn't afraid: "Let's go then. Let's go, let's go to the hospital right now, and we'll know then."

Gu Zhendong grabbed Wang Xiaomin, who was about to run out, and swore anxiously: "Xiaomin, I, Gu Zhendong, swear to heaven, I have never done such a thing. I have only held her hand; I have never done anything else. She is slandering me and spreading rumors. You have to believe me."

Wang Xiaomin pointed at Liu Cuixia and cursed in a shrill voice: "Liu Cuixia, do you want any shame? I don't know which wild man you've been messing around with, but you want to frame it on Brother Zhendong. I'm telling you, it's impossible!"

Liu Cuixia seemed to have gone all out. She patted her stomach: "Whether it's his or not, it's not up to you to say; my stomach says so. Wang Xiaomin, I'm telling you, this marriage cannot happen. Wait until I give birth to the child before we talk. Now, come to the hospital with me, or I'll go to the security department and report Gu Zhendong!"

These wild words shocked everyone into silence.

Even the usually sharp-tongued Sister Hua was left in the dust.

Whether it was true or false, these words were fierce enough.

Wang Xiaomin didn't seem to expect Liu Cuixia to be this kind of person. She looked at Gu Zhendong hesitantly, then lunged at him, beating him: "Tell me what exactly is going on?"

She started crying: "How do you expect me to believe you? What do you want me to use to believe you?"

Gu Zhendong angrily hugged Wang Xiaomin and pointed at Liu Cuixia: "You vicious woman, fine, let's go to the hospital, let's go! Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Cuixia looked at the crying Wang Xiaomin and finally smiled as if she had vented her anger.

She pointed her finger at Wang Xiaomin and said: "Weren't you triumphant? Weren't you happy and joyful? Weren't you blissful? You thought too beautifully, wanting to get married smoothly and receive everyone's blessings—you don't deserve it!"

She then shouted loudly: "I'm not going to the hospital with you. Why would a maiden like me go to the hospital? I was just trying to disgust you on purpose!"

Under the shocked and disbelieving gazes of everyone, Liu Cuixia walked out of the neighborhood office with her head held high.

Lu Qiao glanced at Sister Qiao, who winked at her.

It really was unexpected; have the girls nowadays become this fierce?

But these three people, how should one put it—they are all quite something.

Not a single one of them is easy to deal with.

After such a scene, all the happiness and joy, and even the sense of bliss from registering for marriage with their beloved, were gone for Wang Xiaomin and Gu Zhendong.

Both of their faces looked very bad.

Lu Qiao didn't find it appropriate to discuss it with Sister Qiao, but in fact, Liu Cuixia's way of revenge couldn't be said to be brainless.

Could it also prove from the side that she and Gu Zhendong were innocent?

Although she didn't say it, Lu Qiao felt she also had thoughts in that regard.

Right, did she come alone?

Lu Qiao stretched her neck to look out the window and found a very capable-looking woman waiting outside.

Afterward, Liu Cuixia was pulled away by this woman.

She really didn't come alone.

If one says working at the neighborhood office is fun, it's true—you can see everything.

In the end, Gu Zhendong and Wang Xiaomin still registered for marriage.

After they left, Ren Xiaocui ran over to tell Sister Hua about the excitement from this morning.

She didn't stop talking until Huang Juan stopped her.

Old Hu walked over with his large tea mug and said to Lu Qiao: "Come with me in a moment to handle the paperwork for the food factory."

Ren Xiaocui's eyes lit up: "Director Hu, are you recruiting?"

Old Hu waved his hand: "No recruiting. We don't even know what the prospects are; we can't blindly recruit workers. These volunteers are already enough."

He thought to himself, this is a fifty-fifty gamble. Maybe it will succeed and make money, allowing them to pay the workers, but there's also a fifty percent chance of losing everything, the factory disbanding, and being mocked for being delusional and overestimating their capabilities.

So for now, it's best to keep a low profile.

Lu Qiao spent the afternoon following Director Hu to several departments. Because it was an internal review and an internally run factory, once approved, the various certificates for the factory were basically all issued.

Except for the health permit, which required a joint on-site inspection and review.

The time agreed upon with the Health and Epidemic Prevention Department was this Saturday.

After finishing these matters, Old Hu and Lu Qiao simply went to the former pickle factory.

In less than a day, the place had changed completely.

Seeing Old Hu arrive, these people were incredibly excited.

One has to admit, Old Hu's weight is very heavy.

Old Hu offered some encouragement, and the last trace of anxiety these people had vanished into thin air.

——

Lu Qiao knew there was a very famous ballet in this era called *The Red Detachment of Women*.

This was exactly what she and Qin Hengzhi were watching.

Logically speaking, such ballets were performed on Saturdays or Sundays. Today was Tuesday, not a holiday, so why was there a performance?

Only after going did she know that a leader from Beidu had come to inspect work, so the Provincial Cultural Troupe was putting on a report performance.

Holding the special tickets, they lined up to enter the theater.

Just as they sat down, she saw someone looking in her direction.

Lu Qiao reminded Qin Hengzhi: "Do you know that female comrade over there?"

Qin Hengzhi glanced over, smiled, and looked deeply at Lu Qiao: "Do you still remember the day you went to the wrong room at the Chunfeng Hotel?"

Lu Qiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly; she remembered.

"I remember, your previous blind date, her surname is Lu, right?"

Qin Hengzhi leaned in slightly, his military uniform cuff brushing against the back of Lu Qiao's hand.

His deep eyes locked onto Lu Qiao's eyes without blinking, so close she could see the fine shadows cast by her eyelashes under the lights.

The clear scent of pine lingered at the tip of her nose, and Qin Hengzhi's voice was low and hoarse: "No, the blind date that day was you!"

What should one say, besides asking for monthly votes?

Wishing you all a happy weekend! ===== CHAPTER 115 =====
