Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 742 Who gave you the right to decide my fate?

Meng Xiaoxin retorted, "Why don't you ask her first and instead ask me first?"

Brother Meng on the other end snapped, "Can you shut up?"

Meng Xiaoxin shut her mouth, but glared at Lu Qiaoge with a fierce look.

Lu Qiaoge's expression remained unchanged, her cool gaze fixed on her. Her voice was not loud, but each word was clear: "Since you are already a freshman at Beidu University, you must be a literate 'cultured person'. Then let me test you. Open your book, on which page and on which line do you see Jiangcheng as a poor and backward place?"

That's a very weighty question.

Although it was the 1970s, the three northern provinces still held a lofty and unparalleled position, and the title of "eldest son of the Republic" was well-deserved.

Moreover, in the past two years, thanks to the Xiangyang Food Factory that Jiangcheng has built up, the instant noodles produced have been continuously earning valuable foreign exchange for the country.

With the funds, Jiangcheng has also developed handicrafts, animal husbandry, and various side businesses, and is now completely different from what it used to be.

It was already a long-established industrial center, and now it is even more powerful, and has nothing to do with poverty and backwardness.

Then Meng Xiaoxin was rendered speechless by Lu Qiaoge's question.

"Can you answer this question? If not, then I'll ask you the second question."

Seeing that Meng Xiaoxin didn't speak, Lu Qiaoge continued to ask, "Are you brainless, or did you three classmates not even think about it and just rely on other people's gossip to determine all my shortcomings and even belittle my hometown to nothing?"

So you don't want to share a dorm with someone like me.

So my question is, Meng Xiaoxin, who gave you the right to decide whether I stay or leave?

Brother Meng was stunned for a moment.

Principal Ge smiled slightly to himself and turned to look at Qin Hengzhi, who was sitting in the corner.

No wonder this kid is so calm.

He didn't protect Lu Qiaoge from being bullied at all, as he had imagined. It's already a miracle that Lu Qiaoge doesn't bully others.

At this moment, Brother Meng dared not keep a straight face anymore and immediately softened his voice, saying, "Classmate Lu Qiaoge, please don't be angry. Since we are sitting here, we are not outsiders."

Then, with a guilty expression, he said, "After learning about this, I thought about finding an opportunity to apologize to Lu Qiaoge. I'm really sorry."

You've all seen my sister; she's incredibly stupid. If she were malicious, she wouldn't have messed things up like this.

Finally, with a forced smile, she said to Principal Ge, "Principal Ge, I'm so sorry. My silly little sister was so ignorant and reckless, following the other two children and causing such a huge mess. It's such a waste of everyone's precious time to deal with this. I feel so guilty. I'm so sorry. I apologize to everyone here."

Meng Sige immediately chimed in, "I share the same thought as my elder brother. I'm sorry for taking up everyone's precious time."

Meng Xiaoxin not only felt something was wrong in his mind, but he also felt uneasy all over.

Seeing her eldest and fourth brothers speak to someone so humbly for the first time, she felt a pang of sadness.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to say something, Brother Meng's fierce gaze fell upon her. Startled, Meng Xiaoxin shrank back, truly afraid to speak.

Moreover, she also found Lu Qiaoge to be quite terrifying.

I felt that the questions she asked just now were not good questions.

She wasn't someone who could be stumped by questions, but faced with Lu Qiaoge's interrogation, she didn't know how to answer, nor did she dare to give a casual reply.

She had a premonition that if she answered incorrectly, Lu Qiaoge would use some kind of insult to humiliate her.

Since the Meng brothers kept apologizing, we had no choice but to accept it while we were ahead.

After all, Principal Ge still has influence here.

He certainly didn't want this matter to escalate. But he also had to admit that the two Meng brothers were truly flexible and adaptable.

Then Sister Tong and Uncle Tao also had to apologize.

However, Lu Qiaoge said with a smile, "Although I really want to say it's okay, I can't say that. These three students are obviously not thoughtful and have limited knowledge. If I say it's okay, they will not only fail to learn a lesson, but will continue to do the same thing. Then there will be no point in us sitting together today."

Brother Meng: "..."

You've said both good and bad things, and even I, a seasoned veteran of many years, am at a loss for words.

So this is Lu Qiaoge.

I've learned my lesson!
Han Jiaying finally mustered up the courage to say to Lu Qiaoge, "I...I also want to apologize to you. I shouldn't have used you as a shield for our personal grudges...and then slandered you like that. Jiangcheng is a very good city, and you are a very, very good person. I've heard Grandpa Lin talk about you. You've earned so much foreign exchange for the country and made such a great contribution. You also did so well in this exam. You are actually my role model. But I slandered you like that just to avenge my sister. I'm sorry..."

At this point, Han Jiaying's tears streamed down her face.

Lu Qiaoge didn't pay attention to this person at first.

But from the moment she entered the room, the girl looked at her with sparkling eyes, and that feeling was quite magical.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Qiaoge said to Principal Ge, "Principal Ge, do you think I should have a private talk with these three female students and Han Jiaying?"

Principal Ge had the same idea.

He thought Lu Qiaoge was quite good at lecturing people.

Moreover, it seems that Han Jiaying's second sister and Meng's fourth son are also involved.

There's nothing wrong with talking privately, so he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, this meeting room is yours, we'll go out."

Sister Tong and Uncle Tao exchanged a glance.

The Meng brothers were the same; although they saw Lu Qiaoge's somewhat complicated expression, they still smiled and readily agreed.

Everyone left efficiently.

Qin Hengzhi naturally went out as well, but he stood at the door, leisurely and seemingly quite content.

Then only five girls remained in the meeting room.

Actually, they are all around the same age.

Meng Xiaoxin, Tong Niannian, and Tao Zhuting instinctively stood together, looking at Lu Qiaoge with some wariness.

Han Jiaying wiped away her tears and looked at Lu Qiaoge with some confusion.

Lu Qiaoge said, "I do know a little about it from the side. It's mainly a conflict between Meng Xiaoxin and Han Jiaying. As for Tong Niannian and Tao Zhuting... you two don't seem to have much of a problem. To be strict, you can't even be considered accomplices."

At this point, Lu Qiaoge looked at the two of them and said, "If the school really wants to investigate, it will only hold Meng Xiaoxin responsible. I didn't want to get involved, but since it was caused by me, I'm going to talk to them. It has nothing to do with you two. You can leave now."

Meng Xiaoxin had no desire to face Lu Qiaoge alone.

Because she was scared!
Her face was pale at this moment, and she grabbed the two of them, saying, "No, we are together. If we have to leave, we will leave together; if we have to stay, we will stay together."

At this moment, Tong Niannian and Tao Zhuting instinctively said, "That's right, we're together."

Lu Qiaoge looked at Tong Niannian and Tao Zhuting with a half-smile: "If the school expels Meng Xiaoxin, are you two going to be expelled along with her?"

Tong Niannian and Tao Zhuting's eyes widened immediately...

　Happy New Year!
