Chapter 1058: Chapter 1058: Brain Circuitry Unlike Ordinary People

Luo Qiao walked in, "Because that’s my house, and you need my permission to stay there. It’s such a simple principle, you wouldn’t fail to understand it, would you?"

Auntie Li saw Luo Qiao come in and felt a bit embarrassed, thinking to herself how much of the earlier conversation Luo Qiao might have heard. She really feared that she might have displeased the hosts and could lose her job.

Thinking that her second son had only recently started working and had no savings yet, and he would need to marry a wife in the future, she wanted to help. She couldn’t afford to lose this job, as good positions like this were hard to find.

She hurriedly said, "Luo Qiao, I, I didn’t agree to let them stay."

Tong Qian, looking at the woman who had just entered, found her to be refreshingly elegant, with sparkling eyes and white teeth, and an outstanding demeanor that was a sight to behold.

But she felt increasingly uncomfortable, "Are you the wife of my husband’s comrade-in-arms?"

Luo Qiao didn’t even glance at her, handing over an item she held to Auntie Li, "Inside here are things I’ve prepared for Yiting. She’s been suffering from severe morning sickness lately, and I don’t want her to be disturbed."

Auntie Li understood Luo Qiao’s meaning, "Don’t worry, they just got off the train today."

Luo Qiao nodded, "Auntie Li, tomorrow is Chinese New Year’s Eve, and Yiting will be off work then. Today, I will have Yichen pick her up and take her to my place, and when Xiangrui comes back, he can pick her up. Since your son and daughter-in-law have come back with the child, why don’t you go home and have a reunion celebration with them?"

Auntie Li was somewhat at a loss, "When should I come back over then?"

Luo Qiao thought for a moment, "Come back on the morning of the sixth day of the first lunar month. Yiting should be back at work by then, and it would also give you a few more days to rest. It’s not often that the grandchildren come by, so you can enjoy some family time."

Auntie Li relaxed after hearing Luo Qiao speak, fearing she might lose her job, "Okay, I’ll pack up a bit then, thank you."

Luo Qiao smiled, "Don’t mention it."

Luo Qiao went inside and picked up the phone to make a call, "Hello, Rong Daniang, we won’t be coming back for lunch today. Could you ask Elder Rong to help me see if Old Tong has any good flowerpots for sale? If there are, have Old Tong’s apprentice deliver a few over."

"Do you need them urgently?"

"Yes, I need them this afternoon."

"Alright, I’ll have your Elder Rong go take a look."

"I’m almost done cooking now. I’ll have your Elder Rong bring them over in a bit."

"There’s no need for that, it’s such a long way."

"It’s no trouble, it’s all quiet here anyway. I’ve already made a few dishes, and I will have them delivered to you right before Yiting gets off work, so you can have a ready meal."

"I’ll call Yichen then. If he has time, he can come and pick it up to save Elder Rong the extra trip with all that stuff."

After hanging up, she dialed another number right away, "Hello, Brother Chen."

"Qiao Bao, what made you think of calling me today?"

"Guess?"

"I guess you missed me."

"You’ve got some nerve. Are you busy right now?"

"Just finished up, tell me."

"I’m over at Yiting’s place. Auntie Li has something to take care of, so I’ve given her leave. Rong Daniang said there’s food ready at home. Could you run an errand for us if you have time? If you’re busy, I’ll find someone else to go get it."

"Never mind, I’ll bring it over to you."

"Thanks, Brother Chen."

"I should be thanking you instead, for taking such good care of Yiting, for taking care of your sister-in-law."

"Enough of that, no need for the pretty words; let’s see some action."

"Understood, just wait for me tonight."

Luo Qiao laughed and hung up the phone, then walked out. Li Zixuan spoke up, "Hello, I am Yichen’s comrade-in-arms, Li Zixuan."

Luo Qiao nodded indifferently, "Hello."

Luo Qiao didn’t take a liking to this man. Before, he had allowed his own partner to say those things without any attempt to stop her. If it hadn’t been for Auntie Li’s strong attitude, he might not have spoken up later.

Seeing Luo Qiao’s demeanor, Tong Qian felt angry as well, "My husband is your man’s comrade-in-arms."

Luo Qiao looked over, "I know."

Tong Qian was dissatisfied, "It’s almost mealtime. Shouldn’t you invite us for a meal?"

Luo Qiao looked towards Li Zixuan as if asking with her eyes ’What’s this all about? Do you feel the same way?’

Li Zixuan felt embarrassed, "Don’t listen to her nonsense."

Hearing her husband’s words, Tong Qian was displeased, "How am I talking nonsense? Didn’t you say before that you’ve got a good relationship with Lu Yichen, and it was he who gave you this job because he felt for your mother? You said that when we meet him, we should properly thank him."

Luo Qiao almost laughed out loud at this; so this was her idea of gratitude, taking it for granted that she should be treated to a meal.

Luo Qiao found this woman in front of her to have a peculiar way of thinking, quite amusing.

Just then, Auntie Li, having packed her things, came out and was furious upon hearing her daughter-in-law’s words. What kind of logic was that? If they were supposed to thank Yichen, shouldn’t they be the ones to offer the treat?

Thinking this, she spoke up, "Since you want to thank Yichen, shouldn’t you be the one to invite?"
