Chapter 320: Chapter 320 Luo Fangyuan is Not Your Good Man

Luo Qiao glanced at the just-opened jar of sauce, "I brought only this one bottle. If you don’t mind, I can share a bit with you, no need to trade."

The young man said, "How could I accept that? If you don’t agree to a trade, I wouldn’t feel right about eating it."

A woman sitting nearby laughed, "Girl, did you put meat in that sauce? It wouldn’t smell so delicious otherwise."

Luo Qiao smiled, "I did add some minced meat, but mushrooms are the main ingredient."

The young man stood up and grabbed a handful of White Rabbit Creamy Candy from his bag, "Let’s trade this for some of your sauce, just a taste will do."

Luo Qiao felt somewhat embarrassed by the situation, with so many people in the carriage watching.

Just as she was feeling put on the spot, the woman sitting across from her laughed, "If it’s alright with you, I would also like to trade something for it," she then pulled out a bag from underneath and took out three salted duck eggs, "That way, you won’t feel uncomfortable."

Luo Qiao said with a light smile, "Alright, since you don’t look down on my sauce, let’s make a trade. It will allow us to taste different foods as well."

Luo Qiao knew the woman across from her was trying to help her out. With everyone watching, it wouldn’t look good to give to just one person and not the rest. Yet, if she gave some to everyone, in these times when life was hard for many, people might ridicule her for being taken advantage of.

Now with the young man wanting to trade candies and the woman offering salted duck eggs, anyone else who wanted to taste could simply offer something in exchange. Luo Qiao wouldn’t have to feel embarrassed any longer.

After both people tasted Luo Qiao’s mushroom and meat sauce, they both gave enthusiastic thumbs up. Over the course of the meal, the three of them quickly got to know each other better.

In conversation, she learned that the young man’s name was Xiao Jingyu, a resident of Capital City, who had come to Jinan to attend a friend’s wedding and was now headed south to explore the market.

The woman was named Zuo Lan, whose husband was from the south. She was returning to Jinan to visit her family. The three of them hit it off so well that they even exchanged contact information in the end.

After disembarking from the train, Luo Qiao found a spot to stock up on essential supplies before heading out to the mountain she had inquired about. After enduring a half day of bumpy bus ride, she finally arrived at her destination.

After watching the shuttle bus drive away, she quickly entered the forest and headed deep into the mountains.

In Capital City, within an old and simple courtyard, "Grandpa, is my second brother still not willing to come back?"

An elderly man sat behind a large rosewood desk, "Give him some more time. If Yiting misses your second brother, Grandpa can arrange for someone to take you to see him."

Lu Yiting stood in front of a potted camellia, "There’s no need, Grandpa. I don’t want to worry my second brother."

She had been frail since childhood and couldn’t endure the strain of travel. She didn’t want to be a burden to her second brother; knowing his whereabouts was enough for her.

After leaving her grandfather’s house, Lu Yiting returned to the family compound. Just as she entered, she heard her stepsister Cui Yueyue speaking, "Mom, please talk to Dad for me, okay? Fang Yuan really doesn’t want to leave the military.

He didn’t mean to cause the incident last time. Please, can dad talk to them on Fang Yuan’s behalf? Being caught in the middle is very hard for me."

"Yueyue, I can’t bring myself to ask. Your second brother was so severely injured, barely escaping with his life, and his leg is still in such a bad condition. How can you ask me to do this, disregarding everything else for your sake?"

"Mom, I know all that, and I’m pained for my second brother too. But now that his career is ruined, does Fang Yuan also have to be ruined before things can be settled? Uncle Luo saved Dad’s life back then; can’t we let Fang Yuan off the hook?"

"Yueyue, how can I make you understand? Given my already sensitive position, you want me to ignore your second brother and the whole Lu Family for you and Fang Yuan.

I don’t know the exact details of what happened, but I’m aware that it was because of Fang Yuan that your brother ended up like that. Although your dad and the Luo Family managed to cover up the incident, the facts are still there.

I may not be your second brother’s birth mother, but I’ve lived with him all these years. I can’t turn my back on him for your sake. I hope you’ll reconsider your relationship with Fang Yuan more carefully."

"Am I not your own daughter anymore?"

"It’s precisely because you are my own that I’m saying all this. Luo Fangyuan is not the right man for you."

Cui Yueyue was about to say more when she noticed Lu Yiting walk in. The stepmother, Geng Mingli, was also taken aback, "Yiting, you’re back. You must be tired. Take a rest, and we’ll start dinner soon."
