Chapter 16

Lu Lu Qiaoge felt Old Lu's words made sense.

Comrade Old Lu had always been this confident.

This era had one good thing: the wealth gap wasn't very large.

And being vain and not hardworking and simple was wrong and would be criticized.

Otherwise, how could the Liang family have waited until now? They would have broken off the engagement long ago.

Old Mrs. Lu said to Meng Xia: "Don't do those useless things; hurry and help Lu Qiaoling choose clothes and tidy up well."

Old Lu was an enlightened parent and said to his third daughter: "Don't be too deliberate; just have a normal heart."

He also named Lu Lu Qiaoge: "His family's eldest sister is coming along. We parents won't go. You accompany Lu Qiaoling to take a look."

Lu Lu Qiaoling happily grabbed Lu Lu Qiaoge's arm: "Second Sister, I won't be afraid if you accompany me."

If it were before, Lu Lu Qiaoling might not have said that.

But after witnessing her second sister's style today, she was truly convinced and admired her very much.

Chunfeng State-run Restaurant was an old restaurant with a hundred-year history.

Both inside and outside, it retained the European style of that year.

The old-fashioned ceiling fan turned slowly under the colored glass dome, and the sound of bicycle bells came from the tree shadows outside the window.

It was Lu Lu Qiaoling's first time here; besides nervousness, there was more novelty.

It was naturally Lu Lu Qiaoge's first time too. She didn't expect the meeting place arranged by the Zhao family to be here.

It looked like they attached great importance to this blind date.

Lu Lu Qiaoling asked Lu Lu Qiaoge nervously: "Second Sister, how do I look today?"

Lu Lu Qiaoge observed carefully and commented with satisfaction: "Bright eyes and white teeth, graceful and poised."

Today, Lu Lu Qiaoling was wearing a goose-yellow floral dress.

The eighteen-year-old girl was like a blooming winter jasmine.

In the seventies, the majority of people still found partners and got married at eighteen or nineteen.

She said to Lu Lu Qiaoling: "Wait for me; I'll go ask the waiter if they've arrived."

If Zhao Zhao Jin Bao hadn't arrived and they went in first, it didn't seem very good.

"Comrade, I want to ask you something." Lu Lu Qiaoge stopped a waiter at the stairs, but the other party understood a bit as soon as she saw her.

The girl in front of her had a slender figure, fragments of light floating in her amber pupils, the corners of her eyes slightly raised, adding a bit of charm, especially a pair of peach-blossom eyes like autumn water, and when she smiled, they were like a crescent moon, agile and soft.

So charming, one could tell at a glance that she was the girl that the noble big shot was waiting for.

She asked with a smile: "What is your surname, Comrade?"

Lu Lu Qiaoge hesitated for a moment and replied politely: "My surname is Lu."

"Oh my, are you really Comrade Lu?" Before Lu Lu Qiaoge could finish, the waiter, who had made a preconceived notion, didn't notice the difference between the second and fourth tones in the pronunciation.

She led the way enthusiastically: "Please follow me."

Just now, she had been privately guessing what the girl the guest in the Qingsong private room was waiting for looked like, and now she felt that it should be someone like Lu Qiaoge.

At this time, the enthusiastic waiter had already climbed half the stairs, but Lu Lu Qiaoge felt something was wrong.

She turned back to call Lu Lu Qiaoling, but Lu Lu Qiaoling suddenly became nervous. She covered her stomach, sweat on her forehead: "Second Sister, wait for me for a few minutes; I'll be back soon."

After saying that, she ran away in a flash.

Lu Lu Qiaoge was speechless, just like what Grandma said—a lazy donkey on the millstone has a lot of poop and pee.

Lu Lu Qiaoge didn't feel good about meeting Zhao Zhao Jin Bao and his family alone, so she prepared to wait for her sister to come back and go together.

Unexpectedly, the waiter greeted her: "Comrade Lu, come with me. Let me tell you, it's the first time meeting. Although we are the woman's side, we shouldn't let the man wait too long, right?"

Lu Lu Qiaoge felt that what the waiter said wasn't entirely correct, but it was very sincere. Anyway, she had seen Zhao Zhao Jin Bao and Zhao's eldest sister, so Lu Lu Qiaoge thanked her and hurriedly followed.

Stepping on the soft carpet, Lu Lu Qiaoge's gaze swept over the oil paintings on the restaurant wall.

These oil paintings had a very long history, and it was not easy to preserve them.

After walking a dozen steps and admiring two paintings, the waiter stopped in front of a door: "It's inside."

After saying that, she opened the door. As it creaked open, the setting sun shone through the blinds, the fragmented golden light branding the man's tall figure, making his cold features seem a bit gentler.

Lu Lu Qiaoge was stunned.

This wasn't Zhao Zhao Jin Bao; wasn't this Military Representative Qin Qin Hengzhi?

He wasn't wearing a military uniform, just a simple white shirt, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing the sturdy lines of his forearms.

"Comrade Lu?"

He seemed a bit surprised, his eyelashes casting faint shadows under his eyes. It was clearly a cold, deep voice, but now it had added a bit of warmth.

The waiter didn't suspect anything and even winked at Lu Lu Qiaoge, very thoughtfully closing the door.

Before the knock on the door, Qin Qin Hengzhi was deep in thought. He didn't know that the organization had scouted over a dozen age-appropriate female comrades for him.

But when the woman's information was delivered to his hands, he knew that it must have been his grandfather who had dialed the dedicated line.

Even though he had indicated that he had no plans to get married at the moment, his grandfather still had a way to turn his personal problem into the number one task indicator for a certain office.

Before the transfer order came down, he needed to find the most decent way to exit the blind date; he couldn't reject his grandfather's intentions.

It was just that he hadn't expected the person coming to be Lu Lu Qiaoge.

He frowned; the girl wasn't in the information.

【The girl in the white shirt who is supposed to have the blind date is named Lu Min. Lu Lu Qiaoge, you went to the wrong room!】

The familiar chirping sound came from outside; it was actually the naughty swallow flapping its wings and making a fuss, pecking at the colored glass until it rang.

The tabby cat squatting on the windowsill also nodded in agreement.

Lu Lu Qiaoge laughed dumbly.

Lu, Lu!

In some noisy environments, it was understandable that the waiter couldn't distinguish between the second and fourth tones.

She took half a step back, the corners of her eyes curved into crescent moons: "Representative Qin, I went to the wrong room. I'm really sorry!"

She didn't expect someone like him to have a blind date either.

It was said that the Qin family was a Beidu aristocratic family, Qin Hengzhi's grandfather held high power, and his parents seemed to be big shots in science and technology.

She didn't know which big family's young lady was having a blind date with him.

Qin Qin Hengzhi's posture was leisurely, and he asked casually: "Do you want to have a cup of tea before leaving?"

He saw the fine beads of sweat on the young girl's nose.

He also saw her unconsciously biting her lip; she should be thirsty.

Lu Lu Qiaoge knew that people were just being polite, so she said obediently: "Thank you, I'm not thirsty. I still have to find my sister. I won't disturb you!"

Qin Qin Hengzhi naturally didn't force it and looked out the window with a calm face.

In the sunset, there was a swallow clinging to the window lattice, looking at him?

This must be an illusion, right?

Lu Lu Qiaoge's hand was on the doorknob when she suddenly remembered something, so she hurriedly turned around to explain for the waiter: "I told the waiter my surname was Lu. Maybe my pronunciation wasn't accurate, or maybe the environment was a bit noisy at the time, so the waiter didn't hear clearly and led me in. Please don't blame her."

Qin Qin Hengzhi turned his eyes and saw the young girl at the door explaining seriously. Rarely, a flash of playfulness crossed his eyes.

"You speak clearly and roundly. Lu and Lu can be heard clearly if you are careful."

Lu Lu Qiaoge widened her eyes: "Why, are you going to criticize her to the restaurant manager?"

Qin Qin Hengzhi paused for a moment and nodded in agreement: "You reminded me."

Lu Lu Qiaoge:...

So it was her mouth that was too fast?
