Chapter 353: Chapter 353: The Compassionate Hearts of Parents Across the World

The thing had indeed been prepared by Luo Qiao and stored beforehand, but as they were about to leave, she hastily found an excuse to add it to the gifts they were bringing. She was truly afraid that the old couple might be angered to the point of harm.

It was already late when they returned to the Yuan Family, but Eldest Auntie Song Huizhen was still waiting in the living room. Hearing the car, she hurriedly greeted them.

Luo Qiao said with a bit of embarrassment, "Auntie, we came back late. I am really sorry."

Song Huizhen replied, "I normally don’t go to bed early anyway; I always read a bit before sleep. It’s just a change of location—don’t be embarrassed."

Yuan Jiayi picked up the conversation, "There was some trouble over at the Yang Family today; Grandpa Yang might have been in a bad mood. He drank too much at dinner, so Luo Qiao stayed a bit longer to make sure everything was all right before we took our leave."

Song Huizhen asked, "It wasn’t his sons causing trouble again, was it?"

Yuan Jiayi recounted the day’s events at the Yang Family, to which Song Huizhen commented, "It seems your grandfather was right; did he really donate the money?"

Yuan Jiayi nodded, "There was no choice. If he hadn’t, those families would harass them every few days, causing the old couple unrest—not to mention the neighbors must have been close to losing their patience.

So Grandpa Yang donated that source of trouble. Now, they should finally be at peace and it might also sober up Yang Liwu to stop him from heading to the gambling tables."

Song Huizhen remarked, "It really is a pity—the love of parents the world round. They knew their children would hate them, but they still donated, all because they wanted to steer them back onto the right path."

Yuan Jiayi has a room here as well, so he stayed over because it was too late to go home.

The next day, when Luo Qiao came downstairs, she brought down the tea and skincare products. As soon as the old master smelled it, he knew it was high-quality tea and happily brewed a pot that morning.

Song Huizhen, receiving her skincare cream, also joyfully expressed her thanks, saying she would try it out that day.

Yuan Jianing, coming down from the second floor, threw herself at Luo Qiao the instant she saw her: "Luo Qiao, what time did you get back last night? I waited until I fell asleep."

Luo Qiao laughed, "And you have the nerve to say you were waiting for me?"

Yuan Jianing laughed, "You know I’m known as the ’sleeping deity.’"

Luo Qiao handed over the skincare cream to Yuan Jianing, "Didn’t you say last time that you aren’t fair enough? I believe after using this bottle, your skin will improve a lot."

Yuan Jianing embraced Luo Qiao, "Qiaoqiao, you are too kind. Thank you!"

Auntie Chen came out of the kitchen and saw Yuan Jianing hugging Luo Qiao, acting spoiled. She felt somewhat uncomfortable inside. Her own daughter had tried so hard to please Yuan Jianing before, yet she had always been indifferent to her daughter.

Standing by the staircase on the first floor, Song Huizhen saw Auntie Chen’s expression very clearly, thinking that they would have to keep a closer watch on her in the future to prevent her from doing something irreversible.

Therefore, when she saw the old master’s security guard come in, she took him aside and briefly instructed him a few words. After all, during the day, nobody was at home except for the old master and his security guard, who spent the longest time there.

It couldn’t be more convenient to have him keep an eye on Auntie Chen, who from then on was unaware that her every move was being watched.

When Yuan Jiaming received the skincare product, she laughed and said, "The day before yesterday, Jiayi was showing off about this. Now we have it too. Actually, I used a bit of Jiayi’s yesterday morning, and it really stopped my face from being dry."

Holding up the skincare cream, she added, "Thank you, Qiaoqiao, this stuff is really good. It has no scent and in winter, my face won’t be so painful outside. Soon, my third brother will bring back the gift he has prepared."

Luo Qiao smiled, "As long as third brother likes it, no need to prepare any gift for me."

Yuan Jiaming insisted, "I can’t do that. As your brother, I must show some sort of gesture. The family gathering was arranged in such a hurry last time, and I had already prepared something then. It’s just at my office, I’ll bring it for you tonight."

Luo Qiao smiled faintly, "Then, thank you, third brother."

By this time, Yuan Jianing also bounced down from upstairs, holding a scarf, "Qiaoqiao, look at this, it’s the gift I prepared for you—a pure cashmere scarf. It’s the same as mine, only in a different color. Do you like it?"
