Chapter 659 Rescue
If it were in another office building, Lu Qiaoge wouldn't be in a hurry and wouldn't meddle in other people's business.
After all, this is Sister Lin's family matter.
Even though this was her workplace, Sister Lin never expected that her sister-in-law would come to her workplace because her brother wanted to divorce her.
She had been crying and pleading in the office for what seemed like ages when Sister Lin's younger brother arrived.
Sister Lin's sister-in-law refused to leave, so Sister Lin could only try to persuade the two of them from her office. However, Sister Lin's brother insisted on getting a divorce, and Sister Lin was also very angry, so naturally, the things she said were not nice. In the end, she mentioned something about losing a toe due to frostbite...
Then, Lin's sister and brother's wife opened the door and rushed out, intending to jump off the building.
Buildings in the north are different from those in the south. In winter, people cut strips of kraft paper or newspaper, apply paste, and use them to seal the window gaps. In the north, this is called "sliding window gaps."
Even if you wanted to open a window like that and jump out, it wouldn't be that easy.
However, this floor was converted from an old building. The building faces south, but the left side of the staircase is open, like a large terrace, with only a one-meter-high wall.
This office building is now included in the relocation plan, and we expect to move into the new office building by this time next year. This old building will probably be preserved, since it has a history of nearly a hundred years.
But there are no windows here, so if Lin's sister and brother's wife open the office door and rush out, they could actually jump down. If Lin's sister and brother react slowly, it could really cause a fatal accident.
In the blink of an eye, Lin's sister-in-law, filled with grief and indignation, opened the office door and rushed straight outside.
Sister Lin's face turned deathly pale, as if all the blood in her body had frozen. Her younger brother reacted quickly, but he was still a step too late.
People are capable of anything when they act impulsively.
Because at this point her brain had stopped thinking, just like Sister Lin's sister-in-law.
She just came to her husband's older sister to cry and complain about her grievances. She didn't want to divorce her husband, that's all. After all, her husband's older sister also had a position in the family, and as long as she spoke up for her and her husband, they wouldn't get divorced.
Who would have thought that when her husband arrived, the coldness and resoluteness in his eyes pierced her heart, and the cause, process, and consequences of the incident were all laid bare before them.
At this point, Sister Lin's sister-in-law really didn't want to live anymore.
So she rushed out without hesitation, put her hand on the wall, and was about to jump.
The next second, she felt a faint fragrance coming from the side, and then she was wrapped around the waist by a pair of soft little hands. Before Sister Lin and her sister-in-law could react, Lu Qiaoge simply picked her up and pushed Sister Lin's brother who rushed over. Then she led Sister Lin and her sister-in-law into Sister Lin's office.
The three members of the Lin family were all at a loss.
Lu Qiaoge said to Sister Lin and her brother, who were standing at the door in a daze, "Close the door and come in quickly."
No one knows what Lin Chengze was thinking, but he obediently walked in and then casually closed the door to Sister Lin's office.
People were also hurrying around in the corridor, carrying folders or going up or downstairs to run errands. Some people glanced this way, but the figure was so fleeting that they seemed to see it clearly, yet also seemed not to, and then they went back to what they were doing.
Sister Lin's face was pale, and her hands were clenched tightly. At this moment, she finally realized what was happening, and a cold sweat broke out on her back.
She didn't expect her sister-in-law, Dong Yulian, to be so impulsive. Before she could even react, Dong Yulian rushed out while shouting those words.
Sister Lin's gaze fell on Lu Qiaoge again. Without a doubt, it was Lu Qiaoge who had pulled her sister-in-law, Dong Yulian, back from jumping off the building.
If it weren't for Lu Qiaoge, and Dong Yulian had really jumped off the building, not only would her mother not get justice, but she would also lose her job, and her younger brother, parents, and the whole family would not have a good ending.
The Dong family is now extremely remorseful, but if Dong Yulian were to die here, things would immediately change.
Sister Lin stepped forward and grabbed Dong Yulian, her voice trembling as she said, "You're so heartless! Don't you think about me, Chengze, or even your two children? How could you be so impulsive? How could you do something so foolish?"
Lu Qiaoge placed Dong Yulian on the sofa. By this time, the initial impulse had subsided, replaced by regret and lingering fear.
She lowered her head, tears streaming down her face, her hands resting on her knees, her whole body trembling, unable to utter a single word.
Lin Chengze stood motionless at the door, his face ashen.
Sister Lin sighed, grabbed Lu Qiaoge, and didn't ask her what she was thinking, what she did, or what she was doing at the time...
After all, it was obvious to everyone that Lu Qiaoge had come to her office to deliver samples and happened to see Dong Yulian about to jump off the building, so she saved her. In order to prevent more people from discovering her, she quickly led her people into the office.
If her boss found out, Sister Lin felt she would be utterly humiliated.
Sister Lin said sincerely, "Qiao Ge, thank you so much, thank you so much!"
Sister Lin, who had worked in women's affairs for many years and was always quick-witted and had the upper hand in arguments, was speechless except for this.
Lu Qiaoge hurriedly said, "Sister Lin, I just happened to arrive at the right time. Please don't be too polite. By the way, I came to deliver some samples to you, but I left them on the windowsill at the bottom of the stairs. I'll go get them now, and we can talk about this in more detail when we have time."
Sister Lin grabbed Lu Qiaoge and said to her younger brother, who was still standing there with his head down and silent, "Chengze, go and move the boxes over here."
For some reason, Sister Lin herself was shocked. Why did she feel as if she had found someone to rely on when she saw Lu Qiaoge?
She didn't want to avoid mentioning Lu Qiaoge, because Sister Lin also knew Lu Qiaoge's ability to handle these matters.
This was originally a family matter and shouldn't have been taken to the neighborhood committee, but since Comrade Xiao Lu had seen it, she sincerely wanted Lu Qiaoge to help her.
Because she doesn't know what to do now.
Even though she is still the chairperson of the Women's Federation.
Now that things have escalated to this point, I should support my brother's decision to divorce. It's obvious that Dong Yulian doesn't want a divorce, and the Dong family doesn't agree to it either. Judging from Dong Yulian's demeanor just now, if this really leads to someone's death, just as she thought, the nature of this matter will change. She doesn't want things to get to that point where it's out of control.
If they don't agree to a divorce, as a daughter, I can't get over it in my heart.
I imagine my younger brother Chengze thinks the same way.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so determined to divorce Dong Yulian.
