Chapter 143

An Leilei's mind was a bit chaotic.

Of course, it was just chaotic; there were no other emotions.

Did Lu Min think she was the same as her?

No, they were different!

Even if she never found a partner for the rest of her life, her family wouldn't say anything about her.

Unlike Cao Cao Lanzhu, who made marrying Qin Qin Hengzhi her goal in life.

Qin Qin Hengzhi was very good; he was the best man she had ever seen.

But she was very proud; since Qin Qin Hengzhi didn't take a fancy to her, she wouldn't chase after him relentlessly.

But she didn't expect that Lu Lu Qiaoge was actually Qin Qin Hengzhi's partner.

That day in the theater, she didn't see clearly, but she knew Qin Qin Hengzhi was sitting below.

So Lu Min saw Lu Lu Qiaoge that day?

All these thoughts were just fleeting in the blink of an eye.

She had already seen Lu Lu Qiaoge and Qin Qin Hengzhi walking side by side.

Qin Qin Hengzhi wasn't wearing his military uniform today; he was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, his posture upright, handsome and peerless.

An Leilei then saw Lu Lu Qiaoge.

She had only become familiar with Lu Lu Qiaoge this morning; their only interaction was a single phone call.

The reason she stood at the gate wasn't because she was worried Lu Lu Qiaoge wouldn't know the way; from her unyielding attitude toward Zhen Xi in the morning, one could tell she wasn't an ordinary person either.

Besides, even Lin Lao praised her.

And being able to come to that conference room, how could she be an ordinary person?

Not to mention having unit leaders accompanying her.

Could she be the same as someone like her who was being held back?

Therefore, she didn't think Lu Lu Qiaoge was a girl who hadn't seen the world; the reason she came to wait for her was out of respect.

But who would have thought she would see this scene.

Summer days in the north are always very long, so the sky was still bright at this time.

Lu Lu Qiaoge was wearing a beige shirt and a brown plaid skirt, and she was a very good match for Qin Qin Hengzhi; how to describe it? They were like a perfect couple.

For a man like Qin Qin Hengzhi, what is most attractive is actually not his appearance, but his aura; to be able to walk with him without being overshadowed, one must have a matching aura.

And Lu Lu Qiaoge was just such a girl.

The unique temperament radiating from her body had both the elegance and gentleness of the misty rain of Jiangnan, and also carried the dashing, heroic spirit unique to an independent woman.

This was a girl between gentle and bright.

Such a Lu Lu Qiaoge was particularly attractive to the eyes.

Lu Min stood to the side and pursed her lips, but she had no time to care about that and could only look at Cao Cao Lanzhu, who was being blocked.

She knew that those two were Cao Cao Lanzhu's cousin and cousin-in-law.

She didn't know anything else, but she knew that there were still people in the Cao family supporting Cao Lanzhu; otherwise, as a Peking University student still in school, no matter how much of a "heavenly pride" she was, she wouldn't have the qualifications to join the inspection team.

There was no help for it; the current Cao family was at the height of its power.

Just looking at Cao Lanzhu's character, the fact that she could be recommended to Beidu University shows that many times, things are just one way on the surface and another behind the scenes.

And she didn't know what kind of trouble this female lunatic, spoiled by the Cao family, would cause today.

And Cao Cao Lanzhu, not far away, saw Qin Qin Hengzhi, and her eyes lit up instantly; he was still so good-looking, his profile seemingly plated with a layer of gold in the sunset, so good-looking that her heart trembled.

She was from the same compound as him, grew up with him, and was the childhood sweetheart described in books; she had always dreamed of marrying Brother Qin Hengzhi when she grew up.

How she once loved this person; from childhood to adulthood, this feeling was like a seed, taking root and sprouting in her heart, looking forward to blooming into beautiful flowers.

However, since that day, everything had changed.

Dreams were just an excuse; she had to close her eyes and rush forward.

Just as Cao Cao Lanzhu was about to run toward Qin Qin Hengzhi, she was grabbed by the middle-aged woman, who then warned in a low voice: "Cao Cao Lanzhu, why can't you understand human speech? I've told you eight hundred times that Qin Qin Hengzhi has a partner, he has a girlfriend; why can't you understand? This is a square, with so many people watching; what are you going over there for? To chat or gossip? What if Qin Qin Hengzhi ignores you? It doesn't matter if you lose face, but do you know who is the one being embarrassed?"

Cao Cao Lanzhu looked at the woman in disbelief, and upon realizing, she angrily scolded: "What kind of thing are you to dare to scold me? Big Cousin, you're just watching? She's scolding me! She's too much! I'm going to tell Grandfather and make you two divorce..."

The man's expression was ugly, and he glared at his wife standing to the side, just as he noticed a sharp gaze sweeping toward them.

He hurriedly looked in the direction of the gaze and saw that Qin Qin Hengzhi, who had been walking with his partner, had already stopped, and that icy, substantial gaze made a layer of cold sweat break out on his back.

He clenched his hands, not understanding why a person's gaze could have such great lethality.

But his heart became uneasy.

This kid's current status didn't just come from his background.

Last year he went to the Xisha battlefield and was awarded a first-class merit.

Although it was just a few simple words, only those who had been on the battlefield could understand the blood and carnage within.

Why offend such a person?

This cousin was really spoiled by her family.

But he also felt his cousin was a bit pitiful.

With her current behavior, it might even be that the Cao family was doing it on purpose.

Successfully latching onto Qin Qin Hengzhi, the Cao family and the Qin family would be a community of interests; the Qin family looked very low-key now, but it was a great mountain that could not be easily shaken.

If they were in-laws, it would be different.

Besides, even if it didn't work out, it was Cao Cao Lanzhu who would lose face, and it had nothing to do with anyone else.

He grabbed Cao Cao Lanzhu's arm and became uncharacteristically stern: "Cao Cao Lanzhu, if you want to attend the dance, then obediently listen to your cousin-in-law. If you don't want to attend, I'll take you away right now."

The woman let out a sigh of relief.

The sneer at the corner of her mouth also disappeared; fortunately, her husband was someone who could see things clearly.

The Cao family was too cunning, actually using Cao Cao Lanzhu, this fool, as a gun.

But that was your Cao family's business; why implicate my family?

Who is the top leader in Jiangcheng? Don't you have a clue?

Cao Cao Lanzhu didn't react for a moment, and when she did, she shouted loudly at Lu Min: "Lu Min, hurry up and get over here."

For a moment, the open space that had just been very noisy became quiet.

After Cao Cao Lanzhu arrived in Jiangcheng, she was told that she was not allowed to go to the military factory.

Even the performance that day, she wasn't able to participate in.

She had long been holding a belly full of fire.

Now being blocked and scolded by her cousin, she didn't dare to talk back to him, so she could only call Lu Min.

And at this moment, An Leilei and Lu Min were chatting with Lu Qiaoge.

Time returned to five minutes ago.

Qin Qin Hengzhi tactfully stopped his steps and didn't come over.

And Lu Lu Qiaoling went to buy popsicles; she got off the car at the intersection, and she hadn't returned yet.

An Leilei quickly returned to normal; she had been a bit uncomposed just now, and Qin Hengzhi hadn't even looked at her.

Thus, An Leilei, who had already been stimulated by Zhen Xi, sobered up, and she greeted with a face full of smiles: "Lu Qiaoge, you're here."

"Thank you for the invitation." Lu Lu Qiaoge smiled, her eyes curving into crescents.

Lu Lu Qiaoge also nodded and smiled at Lu Min.

Although Lu Min was a bit unnatural, she returned the smile.

"Mr. Zhen has already arrived," An Leilei lowered her voice: "Because of his status, the province attaches great importance to him, and there are special people accompanying him; he should be in the lounge now."
