Chapter 829: Are You Sure You Want to Denounce Her in Public?

~7 min read 1,347 words

Lu Qiao looked at this woman curiously, then turned to look at Qin Ruixue: "Who is this woman?"

Lin Yin choked.

She was immediately angry at Lu Qiao, thinking in her heart, what's so great about you, pretending in front of me, really giving face but not wanting it.

Qin Ruixue was originally very embarrassed, but after being interrupted by Lu Qiao, she suddenly felt she wasn't embarrassed anymore.

She didn't even know why herself.

She said: "She is Gu... Gu Jingwen's cousin, called Lin Yin."

Lu Qiao said "Oh," so that was the relationship.

She looked at Lin Yin and asked kindly: "Are you prepared to... stand up for Gu Jingwen here?"

Lin Yin opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, and a girl beside her quietly pushed her.

Before Lin Yin could speak, Lu Qiao said again: "The grievances between my big sister and the Gu family shouldn't be known by everyone, right? So Comrade Lin Yin, are you sure you want to denounce her in public?"

Lin Yin looked around, and indeed, people had already gathered around and started pointing.

After all, a few beautiful girls confronting each other, maybe it's because of that little thing about dating.

That's even more interesting.

Lin Yin closed her mouth. If she insisted on seeking justice for her cousin at this time, then the Gu family's affairs would certainly be known by so many people surrounding them.

One spreads to ten, ten to a hundred, a hundred to a thousand; she still understood this principle.

If it reached her second aunt's ears, she thought... her second aunt wouldn't thank her for denouncing Qin Ruixue, but would feel that this was airing dirty laundry in public.

No matter what, this was a thing of the past; she was holding onto it like this, which was certainly wrong.

Even if Qin Ruixue was bad, her second aunt wouldn't want her son to be discussed by people, right?

Then, she couldn't say anything even more.

She discovered that ever since this Lu Qiao opened her mouth, she hadn't been able to say a single word.

She just heard Lu Qiao say in a gentle voice: "Comrade Lin Yin, since you also feel that it's not very good to talk about these family affairs in public. Then how about this, later you can call Qin Ruixue, and you two can choose a time to see where it's appropriate to meet. At that time, you can play freely. People, after all, should be criticized and accept lessons if they do something wrong; this is very normal. But obviously, today is not a good opportunity, so, can I go now?"

Lin Yin: "..."

She had to nod.

Thus, Lu Qiao continued to walk forward in a leisurely posture.

Qin Ruixue couldn't describe what kind of taste she had in her heart. To say Lu Qiao wasn't siding with her, but at this very moment, she was indeed helping her out of a predicament.

She also didn't want to be insulted by Lin Yin in public.

And if she fought back, Grandpa and Grandma would be angry if they knew.

But to say Lu Qiao was siding with her, she actually wanted Lin Yin to find a time to specifically come and scold her to vent for Gu Jingwen.

What kind of thing is this!

In short, Qin Ruixue's mood was very complex.

But she was still grateful to Lu Qiao, so Qin Ruixue followed Lu Qiao obediently and walked forward.

Lin Yin watched the backs of the two walking away and stomped her feet in anger, because many leather shoes now had to be nailed with iron soles, which made a crisp sound when walking.

Not many people wore leather shoes in this era, and many people were proud of the crisp sound made by wearing leather shoes.

Lin Yin didn't go as far as being proud, but the heels of the leather shoes under her feet stepped on the ground with a clatter. With the sound, she and several girls left in annoyance.

Getting rid of Lin Yin's entanglement, the two continued to walk forward. Qin Ruixue's mood, however, became a bit low because of this conflict. She walked silently, no longer taking the initiative to speak like just now.

Lu Qiao didn't care either.

Qin Ruixue wasn't a child anymore, and there were two wise old people, Grandpa and Grandma, at home.

And her father-in-law and mother-in-law were also smart.

Thinking that this time they could teach her well, then she, Lu Qiao, didn't need to talk too much.

Qin Ruixue insisted on buying two sweaters; actually, the style was ordinary, but the quality was good and very warm.

One for Lu Qiao, and the other for herself.

Lu Qiao also accepted it frankly.

No need to think, this money must have been given by her mother-in-law.

If she insisted on not wanting it, Qin Ruixue certainly wouldn't be embarrassed to buy it alone.

She also bought some odds and ends, filling the canvas bag.

The canvas bag Lu Qiao was carrying was snatched by Qin Ruixue, who said: "I have a lot of strength now. I worked for a long time over there. I'm not the me from before."

Lu Qiao smiled and handed the bag to her.

After leaving the department store, they went to the Friendship Store. Only then did they carry the two bags to the place where the jeep was parked, put the things in the trunk of the car, and Lu Qiao drove, and the two left the central street.

The car drove slowly on the side of the road.

Actually, the road here was very wide, but there were too many bicycles, and the car couldn't drive fast at all.

Just as they passed a row of houses facing the street, a thin and small figure attracted Lu Qiao's attention.

That was a little girl who looked only eleven or twelve years old, wearing a coarse cloth cotton-padded jacket covered with patches, and her trousers were a section short, revealing ankles frozen red and swollen.

Her hair was withered, yellow, and sparse, her face was dirty, and only a pair of eyes were frighteningly large, shrinking behind a tricycle selling roasted sweet potatoes in fear and helplessness, shivering.

The little girl's hands were tightly clutching a worn-out canvas bag, and she didn't know what she was going to do.

Lu Qiao stopped the car immediately and started reversing.

Very quickly, she arrived at the place where the little girl was hiding.

Lu Qiao opened the car window and looked over. Seeing Lu Qiao looking at her, the girl also looked at Lu Qiao immediately. I don't know why, but she stared at Lu Qiao without blinking.

Lu Qiao frowned, then got out of the car and said to Qin Ruixue: "Big Sister, wait for me for a moment, I'll go see that child."

Qin Ruixue looked in the direction of her gaze, her brows slightly wrinkled, wanting to say something, but still held back. She followed Lu Qiao out of the car.

Beidu city is also a mixed bag of people; who knows what kind of trouble a child of unknown origin might have.

Besides, in this freezing weather, such a child looks frightening.

But Lu Qiao had already walked over.

Lu Qiao squatted down, trying to make her voice sound as gentle as possible, and even took off her own scarf to wrap around the shivering little girl.

She asked gently: "Little sister, it's so cold, why are you here alone? Where are your mom and dad?"

Although the little girl shrank back in fear, when she saw Lu Qiao, the fear in her eyes slowly faded.

She looked at Lu Qiao timidly, her lips trembling, and it took a long time before she made a sound, carrying a heavy rural accent: "I... I want to find my dad, I'm looking for my mom..."

"Do you know where your mom and dad live?" Lu Qiao asked patiently. ===== CHAPTER 830 =====
