Chapter 270

Lu Lu Qiao didn't feel too surprised; in this relatively conservative era, a woman who could make Lin Lin Junfeng abandon his wife and daughter and force a divorce through suicide couldn't be an ordinary and plain woman.

She always had her own unique qualities.

So even though Deputy Director Huang had already stopped her, Wei Wei Sixin still asked with a smile, "Deputy Director Huang, sorry to bother you. I'd like to ask, is Comrade Lu Lu Qiao here?"

Lu Lu Qiao stood up at the right time and said very politely, "Hello, Deputy Director Wei. I am Lu Lu Qiao."

Afterward, she walked forward and stood in front of Wei Wei Sixin, her voice still gentle and polite, seemingly carrying a hint of surprise: "Is there something you need me for?"

Wei Wei Sixin still had that impeccable, gentle smile on her face, but her gaze was like a searchlight, calmly scanning Lu Lu Qiao back and forth.

It was exactly as others had said. She wasn't old, but she had a face that one would never forget.

Heh, without this soul-stirring skin, how could she climb that big tree, Qin Heng?

In this world, a beautiful face was a woman's greatest asset, true in ancient times and today.

Deputy Director Huang frowned slightly; Wei Wei Sixin had come in the morning and specifically asked to invite Lu Lu Qiao to the Lin house for a meal.

As someone who knew some of the inside story of the Lin family, Huang Juan felt alarm bells ringing in her heart.

With the current mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the Lin family, the conflict seemed irreconcilable.

So why were you inviting Lu Lu Qiao to your house?

If it was to thank her, it wasn't your turn, Wei Wei Sixin!

Old Huang immediately cut in, her tone carrying the detachment of official business: "Deputy Director Wei, a rare guest. I rarely see you come to our neighborhood office. Is there something urgent you need to find Comrade Xiao Lu for? If it's not urgent, shall we talk in my office?"

How could Wei Wei Sixin go with her?

Her goal was clear; she took a step forward, her voice becoming even more intimate and soft, as if Lu Lu Qiao were her long-lost younger sister: "Lu Qiao, I've been thinking about coming to thank you in person, but I really couldn't spare the time. Work is busy, and my parents-in-law have just arrived in Jiangcheng, so there's a pile of things at home. Today, I finally managed to find some time."

Lu Lu Qiao revealed a hint of confusion at the right time and asked earnestly, "Excuse me, I'd like to ask, why are you thanking me? This is our first time meeting today; I don't remember having any interaction with you."

Wei Wei Sixin was stunned; almost all the words she had prepared were choked back.

Lu Lu Qiao actually didn't know whose wife she was, nor did she know she was Lin Lao's daughter-in-law?

A flash of annoyance and discomfort crossed her expression, and she looked at Huang Juan, who was standing to the side.

Huang Juan introduced her helplessly: "Lu Qiao, this is Deputy Factory Director Lin's wife, Lin Lin Junan's second sister-in-law. She came in the morning, but you weren't here, and we didn't tell you."

Lu Lu Qiao said "Oh," looking suddenly enlightened: "Ah, is that so."

Then she changed the subject: "You are too polite, using work time to thank me in person. I was just doing a good deed; there's no need to say thank you. Besides, anyone who encountered this would have done the same. You really didn't need to come specifically to say thank you."

Wei Wei Sixin was stunned; she clearly hadn't expected Lu Lu Qiao to answer so quickly.

And these words sounded very awkward.

What did she mean by "using work time"?

She had seen too many eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls; after all, she was from the Cultural Palace, the place with the most young girls.

They were youthful and ignorant, even shy, especially when speaking in front of leaders like her, they were all a bit nervous.

Wei Wei Sixin sneered in her heart; it was said that Lu Lu Qiao had dealings with Hong Kong businessmen, so she had indeed seen the big world.

Wei Wei Sixin didn't plan to waste time here. She paused, her smile deepening, carrying an air that brooked no refusal: "Comrade Xiao Lu, my mother-in-law has specially prepared a table of good dishes, just waiting for you. I came once in the morning, but unfortunately, you weren't here. The time is just right now. Lu Qiao, give me some face and come to our house for a simple meal tonight?"

Lu Lu Qiao glanced at the smile on Wei Wei Sixin's face.

No wonder Little Little Cangcang said she was good at acting; this woman really had some ability.

Lu Lu Qiao met her gaze, her lips also curving into a perfectly appropriate arc; she looked very polite, but carried a hint of imperceptible scrutiny.

This woman was a bit clever and very calculating. By rights, she shouldn't have come to the neighborhood office's main office to invite her to dinner in front of everyone.

Even if she came to the unit, she could have called her out alone, or gone to Auntie Huang's office, which would have been better than here.

From Little Little Cangcang's description, it could be seen that this woman was very inflated now.

Simply put, she didn't take Lu Lu Qiao seriously.

In any case, it was that Lu Lu Qiao was meddlesome.

Otherwise, how could the Lin family have found Lin Lin Junan?

Taking it out on her?

This woman's life was too comfortable; she really was doing whatever she wanted.

Lu Lu Qiao didn't answer whether she would go or not immediately; instead, she glanced at Huang Juan and turned her head to look at her colleagues behind her.

Only then did she meet Wei Wei Sixin's calculating gaze, her voice soft but her expression earnest as she asked, "Deputy Director Wei, can I ask you a question?"

Wei Wei Sixin had already prepared what she would say next, regardless of whether Lu Lu Qiao answered yes or no.

But she didn't expect Lu Lu Qiao to ask her a question?

She had no choice but to say patiently, "What do you want to ask?"

"How should I address you now?"

Wei Wei Sixin was stunned, and then said, "Is this important?"

Her gentle expression was hard to maintain, and her brows furrowed.

Lu Lu Qiao's voice was clear: "Of course it's important. If you invite me to your house for dinner as Deputy Director Wei, even if it's very sudden and presumptuous, if I say no, it would be ungrateful. After all, you are a leader at the Cultural Palace, and my cousin works at the Cultural Palace; I can't help but worry that you might take it out on her. Even if I don't want to go, I have to!"

The entire office went silent instantly; even the sound of turning pages disappeared, and all eyes were focused on the two of them.

The smile on Wei Wei Sixin's face showed obvious stagnation for the first time.

She hadn't expected Lu Lu Qiao to say such things; the smile on her face was hard to maintain. Looking at Lu Lu Qiao, she clenched her hands; this was all beyond her expectations.

She suddenly remembered someone saying Lu Lu Qiao had a sharp tongue, and now seeing it, it was indeed so.

She knew Lu Lu Qiao and Lu Lu Qiaoqing were cousins; the little girl wasn't simple, setting her up so directly.

Wei Wei Sixin felt venomous in her heart; what an ungrateful thing, daring to speak to her like this, not knowing what's good for her.

Enduring her anger, her eyes rolled, and she barely maintained the arc of her mouth, her voice carrying a hint of imperceptible shame and annoyance: "Lu Qiao, what are you saying? It's just a home-cooked meal; it's not that complicated. Sister just sincerely wants to thank you."

Lu Lu Qiao didn't smile, but said very earnestly: "Since you've called yourself sister, then you aren't Deputy Director Wei. So your identity now is Deputy Factory Director Lin's wife. Then I can't go even more. Don't you know? When Shen Yun led the way in spreading rumors about me and my family, your husband believed and participated in it, and even sent people to scold my grandmother. Although he apologized publicly at the meeting, and although leaders are broad-minded and won't retaliate against a small mediator like me, my grandmother holds a grudge. If she found out I suddenly ran to your house for dinner, she would definitely scold me for being shameless and not learning my lesson!"
