Luo Qiao thought to herself that she was bound to have a clashing aura with her biological mother Ning Xueling. Since that was the case, it was best for everyone to live in peace.
As the three of them walked out of the family courtyard, they saw Yuan Jiayi’s car waiting outside. Luo Qiao smiled at Yuan Jiayi, who was standing beside the car, “Fourth Brother, why have you e over?”
Yuan Jiayi said, “Grandfather asked me and Third Brother to e and see you off.”
Luo Qiao smiled, “Then thank you, Third Brother and Fourth Brother.”
At this point, Yuan Jiaming also got out of the car, “Qiaoqiao, hurry and get in the car. Don’t miss your train.”
Luo Qiao clapped her hands and walked away, while the family courtyard was bustling tonight. Everyone walked and chatted in pairs, eagerly discussing the unavoidable topics surrounding Deputy Director Qiao’s family.
The people of the Qiao Family rapidly walked home in shame and upset. As soon as they entered the house, Qiao Haiqing’s wife, Sun Liying, flew into a rage, “Qiao Haiqing, what did I tell you? Qiao Meng is a plague; she’s caused her own parents to divorce, and now she’s bringing disaster upon our family.
“If you don’t send her away this time, then let’s separate too. I can’t stand this life anymore. I will take the children, and you can live with Qiao Meng.”
After saying that, she didn’t argue anymore but turned around, went back into the room to pack, arranged for the children to sleep, and closed and bolted the door of her bedroom.
Qiao Haiqing sat in the living room smoking one cigarette after another. At this time, Qiao Meng still hadn’t returned home, and he was beginning to feel a headache. If Qiao Meng didn’t leave, he feared his family might really fall apart.
After finishing the cigarette in his hand, he breathed out a long sigh, and made a decision in his heart. As her great-uncle, he had done more than enough for her; he couldn’t let her tear his family apart pletely.
He was almost falling asleep waiting when Qiao Meng finally pushed the door and came in. Seeing her great-uncle sitting on the living room sofa, she said, “Great-uncle, why haven’t you gone to sleep?”
Qiao Haiqing replied somewhat coldly, “How can I sleep when you’re not back?”
He didn’t want to preach to his niece anymore. He had done plenty of that in the past, and it always went in one ear and out the other. He simply said, “Go back to your room and sleep early. You need to get up early tomorrow.”
Qiao Meng was still secretly feeling smug, having thought that her great-uncle would severely criticize her this time. Usually, if she bullied someone using her great-uncle’s influence, he would always lecture her for a long time.
Ah, she was being abandoned by others yet still felt proud of herself. How pitiful.
Yuan Jiayi and his brother dropped Luo Qiao and the others off at the train and watched them enter the station after going through the ticket checks before driving off to report back to the elder.
Luo Siyuan had bought sleeper tickets, wanting to give his sister a fortable trip. They found their bunks, organized their belongings, and prepared to rest as it was already late.
Acpanied by the clatter and rumble of the train, Luo Qiao drifted into dreamland.
At 7:30 in the morning, the train arrived at the station, and Luo Haotian got off with his children. As soon as they walked out of the train station, Luo Qiao said she saw Lu Yichen standing outside, “Why are you here?”
A slight smile appeared on Lu Yichen’s cool and handsome face, “I’m here to pick you up. You didn’t e back yesterday, so you must be ing back to attend classes today, right?”
Lu Yichen borrowed a car from a rade since he was concerned that Luo Qiao would be late for class. To his surprise, Luo Haotian and his son had also e.
Luo Qiao introduced him, “This is Lu Yichen, my friend. He has taken good care of me.”
Then she turned to Lu Yichen and said, “This is my biological father, and you know my Fourth Brother. They came specially to drop me off at school today.”
She finished speaking with a laugh, got into the car swiftly, and said, “Hurry up and get in, so I’m not late.”
After Lu Yichen greeted Luo Haotian and nodded to Luo Siyuan, he said, “Let’s go then.”
Luo Haotian kept staring at Lu Yichen, with many questions in his mind he wanted to ask Luo Qiao. However, considering the immediate priority was to not let his daughter be late, he held back his questions, thinking they could talk at noon.
Luo Siyuan also found Lu Yichen unpleasant but still said a polite “Thank you.”
Now, unlike later times, there were very few cars on the road, so it took only about fifteen minutes to arrive at Luo Qiao’s school gate. After getting out of the car and opening the gate, Lu Yichen turned around to walk out of the alley and returned shortly with breakfast in hand.
