Chapter 267: Chapter 267 I Am the Most Innocent

Zhao Pulin stood there, his hair disheveled by the wind. Lately, things really hadn’t been going his way at all; he felt like dropping dead right where he stood.

The director of the production team said to the crowd of onlookers, "Disperse, all of you. It’s getting late, and we have to work tomorrow."

Once everyone had dispersed, Zhao Jianing yelled at the Zhao Family, "I hate you all, a bunch of shameless people."

Zhao Xiaoxing sneered, "Who do you think you are to talk about shame? You’re just scared of going back to the countryside and starving to death, so you robbed the Luo Family. You’ve really raised a white-eyed wolf.

On the surface, it seems like the Luo Family cares a lot about you, even sending two brothers to escort you back home. I bet they came to see Luo Qiao. If they really cared about you, they wouldn’t have just left you here without saying much and left.

You’re strutting around in front of us for what? You’re just someone the Luo Family doesn’t want anymore, sent back to the countryside. You still think you’re the Luo Family’s pampered daughter. You’re just like us, an ugly duckling from the countryside."

Zhao Jianing yelled back, "I am what I am today because of you, and you still have the nerve to say that."

Zhao Xiaoxing was not one to be messed with, "The last person who should be saying that is you. If it weren’t for Mom trying to give you a better life, we wouldn’t be living like this now. You’re nothing but a jinx."

Zhao Jianing looked at these unreasonable people. It was clear that they had gone to steal things, and that had led to tonight’s incident, but they had the audacity to turn it around on her. How ridiculous, and the injustice she felt was overwhelming.

With tears in her eyes, she turned to Zhao Pulin, "Do you think so too?"

Zhao Pulin didn’t speak, just looked at her, his feelings a complicated mix.

Zhao Jianing let out a cold laugh, "My adoptive parents disowned me because of what you did to their biological daughter. They gave up on me, saying they didn’t want to raise the daughter of their enemies. Now you’re saying it’s because of me that you’ve ended up like this.

What exactly did I do wrong for you to treat me this way? Was it I who asked you to swap babies? Or was it I who told you to harm my foster parents’ daughter? It was all your initiative. Yet, why is everything blamed on me? Why does each of you feel it’s my fault? I think I’m the most innocent one here."

With that, she hugged her knees and started crying quietly.

Luo Qiao got home today and immediately took her basket up the mountain, leaving the backyard vegetable garden to Lu Yichen and Stone. She promised to cook something delicious when she returned in the evening.

She had gone deep into the mountains today, first finding a place to meditate for over four hours until her body was saturated with the essence of the vegetation. Only then did she start wandering in the mountains, finding a patch of persimmon and chestnut trees, which she could come back to harvest when the time was right.

Seeing that it was getting late, she headed back. Along the way, she gathered any aged medicinal herbs into her spatial storage, picked a good amount of mushrooms, dug up plenty of wild vegetables, and casually caught some small animals.

Today, because it was getting late, she didn’t go to the small valley, as she also needed to go by the pool to catch some fish on her way back. Last time, besides delivering the required fish to He Yujie, she sold the surplus in the south.

She quickened her pace toward the pool, and after ensuring that no one was around, she found a somewhat hidden place to release some Spatial Well Water. After about twenty minutes, she saw a school of fish approaching.

Having bought many buckets and breeding boxes during her trip to the south, fishing was now convenient. She gathered the fish effortlessly and walked home carrying two of them.

As she reached the foot of the mountain, dusk had already fallen, but she saw Lu Yichen waiting there.

Lu Yichen came up to greet her, taking over Luo Qiao’s basket, "Your two brothers have been waiting in the yard for you all afternoon."

Luo Qiao was unfazed, uttering indifferently, "For dinner, we’ll have braised fish, and save one for fish ball soup tomorrow morning."

Lu Yichen couldn’t fathom Luo Qiao’s thoughts, so he simply replied, "Alright, I’ll prepare the fish later."

As Luo Qiao entered the yard, she saw Luo Siyan and Luo Siyuan sitting there. She wasn’t much surprised, just glanced over them nonchalantly.

Luo Siyan stood up, his military uniform crisp and looking quite imposing. Now Luo Qiao understood why, despite the original owner’s hunger, he had grown up to be tall—apparently, it was a matter of genetics.
