So Qiao Zhen's tone was somewhat surprised: "Yes, Grandma, hello."
Grandma Lu felt a sense of closeness to Qiao Zhen as soon as she saw him, so she gently took his hand, patted it, and said, "You and Xiao Lu must be very stable together. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me, and I will support you."
"Okay..." Qiao Zhen chuckled awkwardly twice, her eyes involuntarily glancing at Lu Zheng beside her. She saw him with his lips tightly pressed together, not saying a word.
Seeing this, Qiao Zhen's smile faded slightly. He withdrew his hand and said with a faint smile, "Grandma, matters of the heart cannot be decided by one party alone. Perhaps the intuition between two people is more accurate, so let nature take its course."
Hearing this, Grandma didn't say much, and could only nod and say, "Don't worry, Miss Qiao, you are the only girl I find agreeable by Xiao Lu's side. If you have any difficulties, just tell me, and Grandma will help you."
Hearing Grandma Lu's very warm words, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but feel touched: "Thank you, Grandma."
"Is your condition any better?" At the same time, Lu Zheng suddenly asked.
Grandma Lu sighed and laughed, "I just ate something bad. You're making it sound like I have some serious illness."
"You don't have a grandmother, it's just that you're young..."
Lu Zheng quickly replied.
Grandma smiled and said, "I'll always be eighteen."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen on the other side couldn't help but laugh out loud.
I never imagined that my grandmother was this kind of person.
When Grandma saw Qiao Zhen smile, she smiled too: "You should learn from Miss Qiao and smile more in front of me. Don't be so cold to me every time you see me."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen looked at Zhang Zhou beside her and nodded reluctantly, feeling much better.
"Grandma, it's getting late, so we'll head back now."
After saying that, the two left the hospital.
Qiao Zhen glanced at Lu Zheng's tightly pursed lips and joked, "What's wrong? Are you upset because Grandma said a few words to you?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng's face darkened: "What nonsense! Go home now."
Seeing his expression, Qiao Zhen lost her joking mood and could only purse her lips and say.
"Grandma seems to think highly of the two of us."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng tilted his head dismissively and sneered, "What? Don't think that just because he's protecting you, you can covet things that don't belong to you."
"I don't."
Qiao Zhen interrupted him decisively, speaking in a very sincere tone.
"I just want to say, please don't give anything away in front of her. Grandma Lu is old and in poor health, so don't upset her."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng fell silent, staring at Qiao Zhen, lost in thought.
Qiao Zhen simply pursed her lips, not intending to pay any attention to Lu Zheng, since what he thought was none of her business.
She no longer desired the position of Mrs. Lu, because what is not hers will never truly be hers.
The next day, Qiao Zhen got up early to go to work, his mind completely focused on the Hope Primary School project.
The thought of having to bring Song Shiyi to the project made Qiao Zhen's head spin.
She had worked with Song Shiyi before and knew how bad her skills were.
Trying to get Song Shiyi to work at the same pace as a normal employee is practically impossible.
Moreover, she wasn't sure if Song Shiyi would target her.
Upon entering the company, Qiao Zhen unexpectedly bumped into Song Shiyi.
He seemed completely unaffected; after all that, he was still full of energy.
"Miss Qiao, you're at work so early today?"
Qiao Zhen gave a professional smile and replied casually, "It's alright. Didn't you arrive much earlier than me?"
Song Shiyi replied with a forced smile, "After all, the Hope Primary School project still needs your guidance, Miss Qiao, so I naturally have to be more proactive."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen pursed her lips: "It's good that Miss Song has this mindset. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
"That's natural."
After Song Shiyi finished speaking, she only gave him a smile before stepping into the elevator.
Qiao Zhen wanted to step inside, but found that Song Shiyi didn't give him a seat at all and pressed the elevator door button directly.
Looking at Song Shiyi's mischievous grin, Qiao Zhen rolled her eyes.
They even have to fight him for this.
Five minutes later, Qiao Zhen took a new elevator and arrived at her workstation.
After flipping through the documents, Qiao Zhen realized that she should go to the construction site to check on things today.
Thinking of all this, she glanced at Song Shiyi next to her and found that the woman was engrossed in playing Candy Crush. She rolled her eyes, didn't bother to call her, and simply took the documents and left.
She drove to the construction site and saw several workers working hard on the site of the Hope Primary School. A warm feeling welled up in her heart.
"You've worked hard, uncle."
Qiao Zhen picked up a bottle of water and handed it to a worker.
The worker was taken aback, and upon seeing Qiao Zhen, he only said thank you with a hint of doubt.
"I am Qiao Zhen, the project director of Hope Primary School. It's a pleasure to meet you."
As Qiao Zhen spoke, she introduced herself to all the workers and then inspected the details in various corners.
After inspecting the site, she found nothing wrong; in fact, the workers were doing an even better job than she had expected.
Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile.
After waiting all morning, Qiao Zhen returned to the company satisfied, only to find Qiao Yun standing there with his arms crossed, looking at her.
Qiao Zhen put down the file, looking bewildered, and asked, "Miss Qiao, what's wrong?"
