Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Stepping on Others to Feel Superior, Your Schemes Run Deep
Luo Qiao faced the audience and smiled, "Just joking with Administrator Sun, but please don’t call me ’the daughter of Deputy Director Luo’ from now on. It makes me sound too bourgeois. My name is Luo Qiao, and I hope for everyone’s continued support in the future.
Since it’s the National Day holiday, and my dad said that today is a very important day for the staff and families of our machinery factory. As the host has given me this opportunity,
I’d like to dedicate the song ’I Love You China’ to everyone. I hope you all enjoy it, and wish our great motherland prosperity and continual progress."
Luo Qiao didn’t bother with Sun Guixiang who was still standing on the stage without leaving. She simply raised her hand to the band on the side, and the music started.
The audience below was somewhat stunned. No one expected Luo Qiao to be not at all stage fright, looking more professional than the previous performers and still very composed.
’The lark flies across the blue sky, I love you China...’
She sang much more professionally than anyone who had performed earlier. This was a soundtrack from the movie "Overseas Chinese", created in 1979. Luo Qiao didn’t know if the song was already popular now, but certainly, no one had sung it earlier today.
When the song ended, it received thunderous applause that echoed through the entire auditorium, following a brief silence. Luo Qiao bowed to the audience and handed the microphone back before stepping down from the stage.
The host who was supposed to take over had been waiting for Luo Qiao to step down before hurriedly stepping onto the stage. This left the factory leadership sitting below feeling somewhat disappointed.
Deputy Director Qiao Haiqing, sitting below, had not looked good since Luo Qiao spoke those words. One was his own niece, and the other was his wife’s niece, ganging up to bully the daughter just acknowledged by Deputy Director Luo’s family.
Without much thought, it was clear why. What could happen in the family complex that people didn’t know about? Before, his niece used to follow Luo Jianing around every day, oh no, it’s Zhao Jianing now.
Now it has been mentioned in front of all the factory staff and families, leaving him, her uncle, with no place to put his face. His spouse was already not fond of Qiao Meng; now there would be drama at home again. What kind of karma was this?
After the party ended, Qiao Haiqing had intended to apologize to Luo Haotian first, but they said they had things to do and needed to catch a train with their daughter, so he had to drop the matter.
As soon as the Luo family stepped out of the auditorium, they were stopped by Qiao Meng, who said in front of everyone, "Uncle Luo, I did say some things I shouldn’t have said yesterday, but did I do anything wrong?"
She pointed at Luo Qiao and said, "If it weren’t for her, could you give up Jia Ning?"
Luo Haotian’s expression darkened, "This is our family’s affair, and it’s not your place to interfere."
Qiao Meng glanced at Luo Qiao, "But Jia Ning is my best friend."
Luo Qiao felt disgusted just looking at such a person. Just because you’re friends, do you have to morally kidnap others?
Luo Siyuan took over and said, "The reason why Jia Ning was sent away is that her biological parents are still alive. She needs to fulfill her filial duties. She can’t be someone who clings to another family while her own parents are alive."
At these words, everyone looked at Qiao Meng with newfound curiosity—it was clearly a comment on her.
Luo Siyuan continued, "Before she left, she even planned to steal money from the house. After having raised Jia Ning for fifteen years, we were heartbroken and really couldn’t dare to keep her at home anymore.
Since you are so concerned about her and stand up for her, and you are ’best friends,’ it would be even better to take her home and live with you, especially since the Deputy Director Qiao’s household certainly doesn’t lack food.
That way, everyone can see that you, Qiao Meng, truly have Zhao Jianing’s best interests at heart, not just empty words. I, Luo Siyuan, will be the first to admire you for that."
Luo Haotian, seeing Qiao Haiqing approaching, said, "Siyuan, let’s go, or we’ll be too late to catch the train."
Qiao Haiqing also spoke up to scold, "Qiao Meng, go back home."
Luo Qiao stopped her steps to say, "Feeling superior by stepping on others, you’re quite scheming."
She turned and left with the Luo family, as they couldn’t afford to waste more time or they really would miss their train.
Upon returning home and grabbing the packed items, Luo Qiao hugged the Luo’s elderly couple, "If I get time off for New Year’s Day, I’ll come to visit you both again."
