Chapter 1075: Chapter 1075 We Have No Way Out

"There is strength in numbers, and with cooperative effort, lunch was swiftly served on the table.

Luo Qiao headed to the living room and overheard her Aunt Zhou on the phone, apparently receiving a call from her maternal family, and felt somewhat embarrassed.

After setting down what she was holding, she called her grandparents into the room and handed each of them a big red envelope, "Grandpa, Grandma, this is your granddaughter’s token of respect, please don’t refuse it."

Zhou Guifang knew it would be futile to object, so she smiled and said, "Grandma has no daughters, but she gets to enjoy the blessings of having granddaughters."

Luo Daoren looked at the red envelope in his hand, "We lack for nothing now, you’ve all prepared everything so well for us, we wouldn’t be able to spend all this money."

Luo Qiao replied with a smile, "Then save it. In case something comes up, it will be there for emergencies. I’m going to be leaving in a few days, so I’ll feel more at ease knowing you have some money on hand."

Seeing that they accepted the envelopes, she continued, "Grandpa, Grandma, I’ve been thinking, from now on, let’s plan to gather on the third day of the Lunar New Year. After all, it’s just me, my cousins at home. It wouldn’t be fair for Aunt Zhou and my other aunts to feel awkward about leaving on the second day. Just now, I heard Aunt Zhou receiving a call from her family."

The old couple exchanged glances, and Zhou Guifang nodded, "Okay, we’ll tell everyone later. Families should be like this, accommodating each other."

After Zhou Guifang came out, she spoke to Luo Jialin and Zheng Zhiyuan in advance. After confirming they had no objections, she called everyone to wash their hands and get ready for the meal.

Once everyone was seated, Luo Daoren raised his glass first, "A new year has started, and I hope everyone will have a peaceful and joyous year, with all your wishes coming true. Cheers."

After everyone set down their glasses, Zhou Guifang spoke up, "There’s something I want to discuss with everyone. Qiaoqiao just made a suggestion. We shouldn’t let her and Jialin, being daughters married out, affect Aunt Zhou, my other aunts, and sisters-in-law from visiting their maternal homes on the second day.

I’ve also talked with Jialin and Zheng Zhiyuan about this. When Jiayue gets married in the future, we will follow this arrangement. We will gather on the third day, which would be a good way for everyone to spread out their visits."

Song Shiya heard this and knew that her niece must have overheard her phone conversation earlier, feeling grateful, she glanced at Luo Qiao with a gentle smile.

Their family had many siblings, and she used to visit her maternal home on the second day. After Jialin got married, she would return to her own maternal home on the same day, but later, when her niece got married, she felt it wasn’t proper for her to leave on the second day.

Today, her younger sister called to express some blame, which indeed put her in a difficult position. She hadn’t expected her niece to resolve the issue so soon, warming her heart.

After the meal was finished and the tables cleared away, the big uncle and the younger uncle’s families left. Then their siblings drove to visit their uncle’s home, which now felt like a mere formality and made them feel as if their closeness had diminished.

Afterward, Big Brother and his wife took their little nephew back to the Yue Family. The fourth brother and his wife also drove back to the compound to see Grandpa Geng. Luo Qiao drove the third sister-in-law and her nephew and niece to the Zhou Family.

She greeted them before leaving. Of course, on such a major holiday, she didn’t arrive empty-handed, bringing along two packs of top-grade tea she had received.

After leaving her sister-in-law’s maternal home, the family then returned to the Gu family. Luo Qiao had suggested the idea of returning to the maternal home on the third day to her grandma so that it wouldn’t interfere with the visits of Aunt Zhou, her other aunts, and sisters-in-law, and it would also allow them to host her younger sister-in-law on the second day.

If you are well, I am well, we are all well.

By the time they returned to the Gu family’s home, Lu Yiting had not yet departed. Overhearing Luo Qiao and the others arriving, she spoke up, "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law are back. We were just talking about you."

Luo Qiao asked with a smile, "What about us?"

Wang Xiaoxin, the eldest sister-in-law, came over from the back yard and picked up the conversation, "Of course, we were speaking well of you."

Laughing and joking, the family entered the living room.

Gu Kairong looked at Luo Qiao, "I heard from your grandfather that after the fifteenth you’ll be traveling abroad?"

Luo Qiao nodded, "That’s right, Uncle."

Gu Kairong’s expression became serious as he glanced at Old Master Gu.

Old Master Gu rose from his seat on the sofa, "Yixuan, Yichen, Luo Qiao, come join your uncle."

Luo Qiao exchanged a glance with Lu Yichen, suspecting that this was about the Jun family’s issue.

After the group entered the study, Old Master Gu said, "Sit."

Gu Kairong was straightforward, "Luo Qiao, you’re traveling abroad partly because of the Jun family, aren’t you?"

Luo Qiao nodded, her expression becoming serious, "Yes, Uncle. Grandpa said before, ’an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind,’ and we also think this makes sense. It was the Jun family who plotted for money and caused harm. However, they are not content and still wish to harm my children, which I cannot tolerate.

If it weren’t for having people prepared in advance, and if my own skills weren’t sufficient, maybe my mother and I would already have met in the netherworld by now. Therefore, the Jun family must be dealt with; I do not want to leave potential threats for my daughters.

What started as an issue between the Huang family and the Jun family has evolved into one involving the Gu and Lu families and the Jun family. They had no right to try and hurt my children, so let the Huang family’s grudge be avenged by me, their granddaughter-in-law who has never met them."

Gu Kairong asked, "Do you know how powerful the Jun family is overseas?"

Luo Qiao nodded, "Yichen has had people investigating, and I’ve been following the reports he sends. Uncle, I know what you’re worried about, but it’s true that the Jun family is blaming us for what happened to Jun Zhenlin. Of course, we are indeed connected to the matter, and I won’t deny that.

But if they hadn’t started plotting first, we wouldn’t have traced things back to them. So, I didn’t choose to make an enemy, they insisted on it. We have no way out. I must protect my children.

As the saying goes, ’There are only thieves who steal for a thousand days, but no houses guarded against thieves for a thousand days.’ I’m not willing to gamble with my children’s safety, so I have no choice."
