Chapter 924 I'm going to take away her arrogance.
Lu Qiaoge did not refute, but listened quietly.
This seems to be somewhat similar to Director Lin's personality.
Although she still doesn't fully understand the situation at Director Lin's home, she can roughly guess some things.
Director Lin wasn't forcing a smile; she genuinely didn't take these things to heart.
She's the kind of person who thinks, "As long as I think it's right, what you say is your business, and what I do is my business."
Others' opinions shouldn't affect her; she has her own path to follow.
In fact, Lu Qiaoge also admires people like that.
But the Dong family's situation is different from other families'.
Director Lin said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, this is just my opinion. I don't mean to judge how you do things. I just want to hear why you did it this way."
Lu Qiaoge briefly explained the Dong family's situation, and then said to Director Lin, "Dong Mingming is a very simple, timid girl with no offensive capabilities."
Her upbringing instilled in her a tendency to examine herself first, regardless of the situation. For example, if someone pushed her, she wouldn't immediately retaliate or blame the other person; instead, she would first think, "Did I block her way? Did I say something that upset her?" Coupled with the oppressive atmosphere at home and the bullying from her relatives, she increasingly felt that whenever something happened, it was always her fault.
Dong Yuanyuan must publicly admit her mistakes. She must bow her head and apologize to me. I must destroy her arrogance and shatter Mingming's belief that everything is my fault. I want Mingming to know that many times, the mountains you think you can't overcome are actually just small hills..."
As he listened, Director Lin's expression became serious.
Her gaze softened, and she realized that Lu Qiaoge hadn't considered her own feelings at all; all she could think about was that little girl, Dong Mingming.
When something goes wrong, everyone only focuses on right and wrong, but no one puts themselves in the little girl's shoes and thinks about her future.
The Dong family's affair didn't actually cause much of a stir; only a small number of people knew about it.
For example, only four or five people might know about the State Administration of Foreign Trade.
Because these individuals all had connections with Lu Qiaoge, they took this into consideration when informed by someone in the know.
And these few people aren't gossips, so they definitely won't tell others.
But when they gathered to talk about it, there were many misunderstandings about the girl—"You had the guts to jump off a building, but didn't you have the guts to fight back against the people who bullied you?"
It seems they were too naive.
Lu Qiaoge said, "Fortunately, what we've done has had some effect. At least that soft-spoken little girl has finally learned to say 'no'!"
Director Lin nodded repeatedly and said with relief, "That's right. If a child like Dong Yuanyuan continues to be so awful, there's really no need to be her sister. It's best to never have anything to do with her again."
Lu Qiaoge thought that was the end of the conversation, but unexpectedly, Director Lin glanced at her, sighed, and for some reason, wanted to tell her about his family affairs.
"...Actually, many people in our workplace know about my family situation, but you probably don't."
After all, everyone here is well-mannered. You've only been here a short time, unlike the older colleagues, so no one is gossiping about you. It's perfectly normal that you don't know.
Director Lin is a magnanimous person. Although the idea came suddenly, he felt that it wouldn't do him any harm since he had thought of it. Besides, Lu Qiaoge was indeed a girl whose ideas were different from other girls.
Talking to her always gives you a refreshing feeling.
So she told Lu Qiaoge about her family situation.
Lu Qiaoge felt a little awkward, after all, this was a family matter for Director Lin, who could be considered an elder in terms of age.
Lu Qiaoge didn't really want to know about her family's affairs. Unexpectedly, Director Lin waved her hand and said, "You don't need to be embarrassed. I'm telling you today because I have my reasons."
Lu Qiaoge said, "Then you go ahead."
Director Lin didn't make any assumptions, such as how Lu Qiaoge would handle such a situation.
Director Lin didn't want to hear such advice.
Since everyone has their own thoughts, and she doesn't think she did anything wrong, there's no need to verify whether what she did was right or wrong by asking others.
She said to Lu Qiaoge, "If you say that we are living in peace, many people may not believe that it is possible for everyone to live in peace under the same roof."
But actually, my husband doesn't come home very often. He also has the duties of a reporter, and he often travels all over the country.
Moreover, I am also grateful to Cuizhi. Regardless of her motives, she got things done and I benefited from it, so I should thank her.
But the problem is, she made a request to me a couple of days ago: she wants my youngest son to be adopted by her, or else I have to promise to have a child with my husband, regardless of gender. And she's not even hiding it; she's told all the neighbors about her idea.
Lu Qiaoge was stunned for a moment.
This kind of relationship is already baffling enough, so how can they make such an unreasonable request now?
Not avoiding people's attention means you're really going all out, right?
Director Lin continued, "Most of the people who know about this complain that I shouldn't have been so lenient, saying that I should have dealt with it sooner or later, because it was bound to be a disaster sooner or later."
Some people even criticized my husband for being hypocritical, saying he was always looking for something better.
I think the reason she did this is probably because she feels she has accomplished a lot over the years. By the way, she's forty this year, and maybe she feels that if she doesn't have a child now, she'll never have another chance.
He then added, "Of course, this is just my personal guess; I didn't ask her opinion."
Lu Qiaoge asked Director Lin directly, "Then what do you want to ask me?"
Director Lin frankly told him, "I want to ask you, how should I answer her? This is what I said to her at the time. Let me think about it carefully."
Lu Qiaoge asked, "What did you and your partner say about this?"
"He's currently doing interviews in the Northwest and won't be back for another two weeks."
"Oh, so you mean this woman named Cuizhi wants to persuade you within half a month?"
"Have you considered what she might do if you disagree?"
Director Lin was taken aback for a moment: "She hasn't made any requests over the years, so I hadn't thought about it."
Then, somewhat ashamed, he said, "Alas, I'm actually embarrassed to tell you about this. I really don't think there's anything wrong with it, but other people think there really is."
Lu Qiaoge glanced at Director Lin and couldn't help but admire her; she was truly an extraordinary woman.
However, Lu Qiaoge did not want to comment on Director Lin's behavior.
No matter what Director Lin does, she can always stand on the moral high ground.
What she was concerned about was: "Did your family pay that woman who was taking care of your mother-in-law a salary?"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Qiaoge emphasized again: "You could also say that you give them pocket money, living expenses, or other compensation?"
