Chapter 422: Chapter 422: Arrive Early at the School Gates to Intercept Someone

Lu Yichen, worried that his bicycle wouldn’t be able to carry everything and that the night was cold, specially borrowed a jeep to pick her up.

Once they were in the car, Luo Qiao asked, "Where’s Stone?"

Lu Yichen replied, "It’s too cold at night and I wasn’t sure if the train would be late, so I didn’t let him come. The little guy wasn’t too happy about it."

He would never admit that he had deliberately chosen not to bring Stone, who had given him half a day’s worth of attitude in response.

By the time they got home, the stove had been lit and the room was very warm. The two pots of orchids were also brought back, and both the room and yard looked like they had been tidied up.

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Thanks, Brother Lu."

Lu Yichen laughed and said, "You’re so polite, I’m still not used to it."

They both broke into laughter. In the kitchen were stir-fried stew and sliced hand-rolled noodles all prepared. After putting everything away, Lu Yichen hurriedly went to boil water, ready to cook the noodles.

Taking the opportunity, Luo Qiao went out to the public phone in the alley to report her safety to her family in Capital City. Just as she was about to head back, she saw Lu Yichen coming out to fetch her.

Lu Yichen said, "The noodles are ready, come back quickly or they’ll get clumpy and lose their chewiness."

After dinner, Lu Yichen cleaned up the kitchen and then said, "There’s hot water in the pot for you to wash up and rest earlier. Don’t worry about making breakfast tomorrow, Stone and I will bring it over. I’ll be heading out now."

After seeing him off, Luo Qiao got ready for bed and entered her space.

At this time, in the Luo Family home in Ji City, Luo Tianming and Feng Hui wore worried expressions, sighing in the house.

With a bit of hoarseness in her voice, Feng Hui said, "Tianming, what are we going to do now?"

Luo Tianming took a deep sigh, "What else can we do? We’ll have to go out and try to borrow money tomorrow. It’s not like we can really let them take him to jail, right?"

Feng Hui started crying, covering her face, "Life has become unbearable. I’m out of work, you’re finding it hard too, and that bastard Luo Bin has caused such a big problem. It’s utterly humiliating."

Luo Tianming lit a cigarette and glanced at Feng Hui, "We never should have listened to you to bring him back. We were living a good life, and now look at what’s become of it. If Luo Qiao were here, at the very least there would be someone else to help you out."

Upon hearing this, Feng Hui’s eyes lit up, "Tianming, isn’t Luo Qiao studying at Capital City’s First High School? Let’s go see her tomorrow. No matter what, we have to make her help us."

Luo Tianming sighed, "You go if you want, I have no face for that."

Feng Hui, slightly irritated, said, "Can we afford to care about face right now? If we don’t have the money in three days and Luo Bin really gets into trouble, you’ll regret it too late."

Luo Tianming said, "What would we say if we go? Do you have the face to say it?"

Feng Hui ’huffed’ and said, "No matter what, she’s the child we brought up. If we beg her and she doesn’t help, I’ll make sure she can’t continue her studies and is too ashamed to lift her head at school."

Luo Tianming looked at Feng Hui with some contempt, "You think Luo Qiao is still the same girl you used to scold and beat? Haven’t you read the papers? Besides, she has been acknowledged by her parents in Capital City now. Do you think she will still listen to you like she used to?"

Feng Hui angrily said, "Can’t you say something less discouraging? Let’s rest up, so we can be at the school gate early to catch her."

The next day, just as Luo Qiao finished meditating and was about to wash up, she heard Stone’s voice, "Sister, open up! We’re here, we brought breakfast."

Luo Qiao put down her toothbrush cup and opened the door first. Stone rushed into her arms, "Sister, I missed you so much."

Before he could enjoy enough closeness with his sister, Lu Yi caught the back of Stone’s collar, "Get to the kitchen and take a bowl. What do you think you’re doing?"

Stone was dragged away, reaching out with both hands. Luo Qiao laughed, "Be careful, don’t pull him over."

After washing up, breakfast was ready. Luo Qiao said, "Let’s eat quickly. I’ll bring you gifts when I come back at noon."

Upon the mention of gifts, Luo Qiao froze, then smacked her forehead, "Oh no, I forgot something important. Ah, how could I forget?"

Lu Yichen and Stone looked over, and Lu Yichen asked, "What’s wrong?"
