Chapter 209: My Lu Lu Qiao is reasonable, not partial
However, Zhen Xi still said to Lu Lu Qiao: "The instant noodle production line you wanted has already been shipped. I've had them reroute it directly to Jiangcheng. Once the goods arrive, I'll prepare to return to Hongcheng."
Lu Lu Qiao stood in the shade, listening to Zhen Xi, and saw Xiao Ka and the other two staring right at her.
Because Zhen Xi was talking to her, their secret staring had turned into open observation.
Lu Lu Qiao simply acted as if she hadn't noticed.
She smiled and said, "Thank you for your tremendous help, Mr. Zhen. Once the instant noodles are made, I will definitely mail you a box to taste."
Zhen Xi remembered something, frowned, and waved his hand: "Forget it, I don't really like them. Let's skip it."
Director Zhou also chimed in: "I ate them once in Shanghai; they aren't even as good as Zha Jiang noodles."
Lu Lu Qiao smiled without a word.
Director Zhou's eyes flickered. Lu Lu Qiao was no ordinary person; she insisted on this production line, so there must be a reason.
He said, "Once your food factory produces them, I'll have to try some."
Lu Lu Qiao naturally agreed readily.
She wasn't considering external sales for the time being. After all, it was 1975; she had to take it one step at a time, first developing instant noodles that tasted like those of the future, and only then would she report to the higher-ups.
Zhen Xi said generously, "Factory Director Lu, if you have any needs, feel free to call me at any time."
Lu Lu Qiao thanked Zhen Xi.
Afterward, Director Zhou greeted Chen Feng and Liu Liu Dahui, and they boarded the car one by one. The car turned around and drove toward the city.
Zhou Zhou Shanshan stood beside Liu Liu Dahui, her expression one of constant smugness.
Meanwhile, Liu Liu Dahui looked visibly relieved as the jeep drove away.
Unexpectedly, the jeep stopped at the last moment.
Zhang Zhang Lixue got out of the car again.
The car stayed where it was, but no one else got out.
Zhang Zhang Lixue didn't delay; he took off his glasses, threw them on the side of the road, strode up to Liu Liu Dahui, and said, "Do you remember what I told you? Every time I see you, I'll hit you. You bastard, she waited for you for eight years, yet you almost killed my sister. What's the use of a few apologies? You bastard, you piece of trash..."
Zhang Zhang Lixue lunged at Liu Liu Dahui, knocking him onto the sandy beach with a punch.
Lu Lu Qiao saw it clearly.
Liu Liu Dahui was actually very agile and had excellent skills; he could have dodged it if he wanted to.
This Zhang Zhang Lixue was actually just a weak scholar.
But he didn't dodge, so a rain of punches landed on Liu Liu Dahui.
Just then, Qin Qin Hengzhi and Wang Lu Zhiguo walked over from the other side of the river, carrying two pheasants and three wild rabbits.
Seeing this scene, Qin Qin Hengzhi frowned.
Wang Lu Zhiguo whispered to him who this person was and mentioned the conflict between the Zhang and Liu families.
Qin Qin Hengzhi really hadn't known about this.
Chen Feng was about to step forward to intervene but was grabbed by Dong Dong Xiangqin.
"Why are you getting involved? Do you want to make it two against one?"
Chen Feng came to his senses and stopped.
He had been a bit anxious; luckily his wife stopped him, otherwise, if the other party didn't let go, wouldn't it turn into a group brawl?
Come to think of it, what Liu Liu Dahui did was indeed not right.
He had sworn to them that he had nothing going on with Zhou Zhou Shanshan.
He just didn't like Zhang Zhang Qiaozhi anymore and felt they had no common language.
Besides, it was his mother who forced him to get engaged to Zhang Zhang Qiaozhi in the first place.
And so, they had sympathized with him.
Naturally, they believed him.
Who would have thought that just a few days after breaking off the engagement with Zhang Zhang Qiaozhi, he would be dating Zhou Zhou Shanshan?
What else was there to understand?
But this matter was something they, as brothers, really couldn't get involved in.
Zhou Zhou Shanshan shouted frantically, "Zhang Zhang Lixue, your sister Zhang Zhang Qiaozhi and Brother Hui have already broken off the engagement; there is no relationship left! What is it? Can't you live or can't she get married? Why must your Zhang family keep pestering Brother Hui?"
Lu Lu Qiao was also surprised.
So Zhou Zhou Shanshan actually knew Zhang Zhang Lixue.
Lu Lu Qiao glared, blocked the shouting Zhou Zhou Shanshan, and sternly accused her: "How can you talk like that? Don't you see Brother Liu isn't moving? He feels guilty, which is why he's letting Zhang Zhang Lixue vent. How can you not see that?"
Zhou Zhou Shanshan turned her head immediately.
Lu Lu Qiao then added guiltily, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just a blunt person; please don't take it to heart."
She returned the words Zhou Zhou Shanshan had just used right back to her.
Dong Dong Xiangqin chuckled; this girl really didn't let herself be taken advantage of.
Zhou Zhou Shanshan was livid, but she just pointed at Qin Qin Hengzhi: "Qin Hengzhi, your Brother Liu is being beaten, why are you standing by? And... look at your partner, she's not helping me but helping an outsider. Have I offended her? Why does she have to treat me like this?"
Qin Qin Hengzhi's gaze was sharp, his voice cold: "Liu Liu Dahui cannot handle emotional problems properly; he deserves to be hit!"
He paused and added: "My Lu Lu Qiao is reasonable, not partial. You are scolding someone's sister in front of her brother; you aren't settling the matter but causing trouble. She is criticizing you from a fair standpoint. Is there a problem with that?"
Everyone:...
Lu Lu Qiao smiled at Qin Qin Hengzhi.
Zhang Zhang Lixue stopped.
Zhou Zhou Shanshan gritted her teeth, suppressing her shame and anger. Damn it, Qin Qin Hengzhi actually gave no face to her or Brother Hui.
Liu Liu Dahui had said he had a life-and-death friendship with Qin Qin Hengzhi, but in reality, that wasn't the case at all.
She turned to see that the others hadn't moved and sneered, "What kind of war friendship, I think it's all fake."
Liu Liu Dahui scolded, "Shut up!"
But deep down, he felt warm; Zhou Shanshan only said that because she loved him.
He held back Zhou Zhou Shanshan, who was about to speak again.
Zhou Zhou Shanshan was smart enough to never go against Liu Liu Dahui when he was truly serious.
She shut her mouth, looking aggrieved.
But she wiped away tears, feeling heartbroken.
Liu Liu Dahui remained sitting on the sandy ground, looked up, and asked Zhang Zhang Lixue, "Second Brother, have you vented your anger?"
Wang Lu Zhiguo and Chen Feng also walked over.
One called out "Little Zhang," the other "Zhang Lixue."
A few words broke the awkward atmosphere, and Zhang Zhang Lixue knew when to stop.
He had acted on impulse, just wanting to vent.
He sneered and shook them off, but didn't say anything excessive.
However, he pointed at Zhou Zhou Shanshan: "Zhou Zhou Shanshan, watch your mouth. If I hear my sister's name from you again, I won't spare you!"
Having said that, he turned and left, walked to where he had discarded his glasses, picked them up, put them on, and got into the car. The jeep kicked up a cloud of dust and soon disappeared from sight.
Liu Liu Dahui stood up nimbly; there were no bruises or swelling to be seen. Clearly, Zhang Zhang Lixue had just been teaching him a lesson.
Zhou Zhou Shanshan looked at Lu Lu Qiao, a surge of malice rising in her heart.
She cried and accused, "Lu Lu Qiao, we are on the same side, why are you helping an outsider instead of me? Do you know Zhang Zhang Qiaozhi's second brother? What is your relationship that makes you treat me like this?"
Lu Lu Qiao asked back bluntly, "Why don't you ask what my relationship is with Zhang Zhang Qiaozhi?"
Zhou Zhou Shanshan: "..."
Lu Lu Qiao spread her hands toward Liu Liu Dahui: "Brother Liu, you tell her why I didn't help her just now. Sigh, kindness is truly treated like a donkey's liver and lungs!" ===== CHAPTER 210 =====
