Chapter 350

The color on Cao Jing's face had long since faded away completely, as if all the blood in her body had been drained.

Too similar.

Truly too similar!

Those brows and eyes, the curve of that nose bridge, especially those eyes, clear and bright, overlapped with a face from the depths of her memory that she never wanted to recall!

The air seemed to have solidified, pressing heavily against her chest.

Cao Jing subconsciously reached out to steady herself against the back of the sofa beside her, only then managing to support her tottering body.

How could it be... how is it possible?!

A deep chill and an unbelievable, surging tide of fear instantly engulfed her like icy water.

Lu Qiaoge naturally noticed Cao Jing's instantly pale face and tottering posture.

A flash of clear confusion and concern appeared in those eyes that so closely resembled the old acquaintance; Lu Qiaoge asked softly: "Comrade Cao, can you tell me about it?"

Cao Jing suddenly clutched her head, her voice sharp and hysterical: "No... no, don't ask me, I don't remember anything!"

Bai Jinyan was so frightened that she pulled Lu Qiaoge and took a few steps back.

Lu Qiaoge's eyes darkened.

Subsequently, a boy in his early teens rushed out from the room to the side, his eyes wide with fright at his mother, and then he threw himself onto her, wailing loudly: "Mom, Mom, what's wrong with you, Mom..."

Qin Hengzhi immediately said apologetically: "I am truly sorry, we shouldn't have come. I really didn't expect it to be like this. Grandpa Cao, should we send her to the hospital? I'll go to the garage to get the car now."

Old Mrs. Cao over there seemed to only just react, saying with a gloomy face: "No need to go to the hospital."

It was a posture of seeing guests out.

Lu Qiaoge took a deep look at the seemingly insane Cao Jing, a cold sneer in her heart.

She called for Little Cangcang, telling it to keep an eye on Cao Jing and the Cao family tonight.

Afterwards, Lu Qiaoge offered a symbolic apology, and Qin Feng and Bai Jinyan also felt very embarrassed.

Master Cao did not say any words of complaint: "This is not your fault; this is a root of illness left over from the early years. Not many people know about it. It's truly a pity, perhaps I can't help with anything anymore..."

Qin Hengzhi veiled the sharpness in his eyes. When this person heard the name Lu Yun, her reaction was definitely normal, and there was certainly some unspeakable inside story, but her emotions only collapsed after seeing Qiaoge's appearance.

In other words, she saw the shadow of Lu Yun in Qiaoge.

These two people do indeed look very much alike.

It is not just the Lu family who have said so; even Zhen Xi and Secretary You think the same.

Therefore, at this moment, Cao Jing is either faking it or truly has been triggered.

The Cao family all went to soothe Cao Jing, with Old Mrs. Cao holding her daughter and saying over and over that it was fine, it was fine, the past is in the past, don't think about it, and similar words.

What more could be asked in such a scene?

Bai Jinyan and her husband took Qin Hengzhi and Lu Qiaoge out of the Cao house.

Master Cao and the eldest Cao brother came out together to see the guests off.

After exchanging a few more polite words, they all parted ways.

Lu Qiaoge couldn't be bothered to express an opinion.

When Bai Jinyan asked her if she had been frightened, Lu Qiaoge shook her head.

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect Cao Jing's state to be so terrible. If I had known, I wouldn't have asked."

Bai Jinyan: "This isn't your fault. I actually knew a little bit, but I didn't expect it to be so serious that she couldn't even hear the name of a comrade-in-arms. This illness is just too much..."

Qin Hengzhi exchanged a look with Lu Qiaoge, verifying each other's views; this was consistent with their initial thoughts.

Let it be for now.

Everything will wait until Lu Qiaoge meets that maid surnamed Lu.

Unexpectedly, they met three people at the entrance of the Qin house.

They were also just about to knock on the door, and Lu Qiaoge recognized one of them: it was Du Lin, who had played ball with her yesterday.

At this moment, Du Lin saw Lu Qiaoge and hurriedly beamed, waving at her: "Sister Qiaoge, it's me, it's me! Our coach and director and I have come to find you."

Lu Qiaoge was stunned for a moment before she remembered what Cao Lanzhu had said, and she smiled along with them.

If it were a staff competition, she could participate a little, but as for the professional side, forget it.

She didn't have the time to train for that.

Although it wasn't yet seven o'clock, the sky had already darkened, with only the light from the streetlamps. When the Qin family walked closer, the slightly taller woman also saw the four people from the Qin family.

She took the initiative to step forward and introduced herself: "I'm sorry to disturb you so late. I am Lu Yu from the Political Department of the Sports Team, and this is our Coach Li, who is..."

The next moment, this person's words seemed to be choked off by something.

Because she saw Lu Qiaoge.

Because Du Lin had just greeted her, one didn't need to think to know that the young and beautiful girl was Lu Qiaoge.

Her gaze met Lu Qiaoge's, and Lu Qiaoge clearly saw the shock and disbelief in the other party's eyes.

Likewise, Lu Qiaoge keenly saw the terror in the depths of her eyes.

Lu Qiaoge frowned slightly; who was this person?

Instantly, she thought of her second aunt. Could it be that she also knew her second aunt? Good, another person in the know.

But could it really be such a coincidence?

Lu Qiaoge stepped forward and said in a curious yet harmless voice: "Director Lu, have you met me before? Why does it feel like you've seen an old acquaintance?"

Du Lin and Coach Li exchanged a look; that can't be right, how could Director Lu and Lu Qiaoge possibly know each other?

All these thoughts passed in a flash. Director Lu was clearly quick to react; she instantly regained her composure and said: "I am truly sorry. Comrade Xiao Lu, you look very young; you don't look nineteen, you seem even younger than Linlin, so I was just shocked."

Lu Qiaoge saw her tightly clenched hands and did not continue to question her, but instead smiled and said slowly: "So that's how it is."

Since they were already at the gate, it wasn't appropriate to block them, so they were invited in, and naturally, they went straight to the point.

Coach Li said that if Lu Qiaoge had any ideas, she should come to the sports team to find her tomorrow, and said many encouraging words, clearly having a very good impression of Lu Qiaoge.

Lu Qiaoge no longer looked at Director Lu; this person was very calculating, and the loss of composure just now had vanished in the blink of an eye.

Now, not a single trace of abnormality could be seen.

The Qin family certainly couldn't make decisions for her, nor could they refuse for her, even Qin Hengzhi couldn't.

But Lu Qiaoge naturally and politely refused without leaving any room for negotiation.

The few people left in disappointment.

At this time, Master Qin and his wife had not yet returned.

Everyone was sitting in the living room.

The Qin family had a television set, and it was time for the television news; this was the prototype of the News Simulcast, and not only Qin Feng and his wife, but even Qin Hengzhi liked to watch it.

Jiangcheng Television Station was established very early, being one of the first three television stations established in the Long Kingdom.

But very few families had television sets.

Lu Qiaoge did not go upstairs; if she had, Qin Hengzhi would have followed.

Bai Jinyan had just finished talking with her for a while, and when the news started to broadcast, Lu Qiaoge took the initiative to shut her mouth.

She also followed along and watched the news.

For people nowadays, being able to watch the news on television is a huge event, and she couldn't ruin it.

?? Updated late, but I didn't change the posting time; I was just stuck on the writing or delayed by something. I will return to normal tomorrow. Thank you, my dears, I love you!
