Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s
Chapter 431: A Slight Mistake Could Ruin Everything

As for Lu Yichen, he immediately took care of official business after getting off the train, and then he brought some things first to Luo Qiao’s grandparents. He only found the Luo Family after asking for directions at the public telephone.

The door was opened by Luo Daoren: "Who are you looking for?"

Lu Yichen smiled and said, "I am Luo Qiao’s friend, Lu Yichen. She asked me to bring some things back to you all."

When Luo Daoren heard he was his granddaughter’s friend, he quickly said, "Please come in, have a seat inside. It’s so cold outside; you’ve gone through the trouble of coming here."

Lu Yichen smiled and said, "It’s no trouble, no trouble at all."

Emerging from the inner room, Luo Xuyuan looked at Lu Yichen and asked, "What is your relationship with my sister? How do you know each other?"

Lu Yichen said, "We are currently just friends. We met in Qingshan Village before, and I am now working at Ji City Public Security Bureau."

Luo Daoren also asked, "Looking at you, were you previously in the military?"

Lu Yichen nodded and said, "Yes, I used to be in the military but retired due to an injury."

Zhou Guifang brought over a cup of water: "Please sit down and drink some water to warm up."

Lu Yichen said, "Thank you, Grandma, but I won’t sit down. It’s getting late, and I still need to visit Luo Qiao’s master."

Lu Yichen exchanged a few more pleasantries with the Luo family and was about to leave when Luo Xuyan, who went to music class, came back. Hearing that it was his sister who had sent him to deliver the items, he smiled and said, "Tell my sister that I have been studying well; the teacher has praised me these past few days."

Lu Yichen said, "Sure, I will definitely pass on the message."

After leaving the Luo Family, he took the shift bus to Luo Qiao’s master’s house. By the time he got there, it had gotten dark. The Old Couple Yang, upon hearing that Luo Qiao had sent someone to deliver items, said, "This child, she just returned to Ji City a few days ago, why is she sending things again?"

Lu Yichen said, "Luo Qiao mentioned that if you come back late from school, having these things could save you some trouble."

Feng Shumin felt warmth in her heart: "When you go back, tell her not to worry about us. If we can’t make it, we’ll just eat in the school cafeteria. Tell her to take good care of herself."

When Lu Yichen came out of the Yang Family home, the streetlights on the road were already lit, and he quickly hurried towards his maternal grandfather’s house.

The Gu family was just getting ready for dinner when the courtyard gate was knocked. Old Master Gu said to his youngest daughter, "Go see who it is."

When the front door opened, Lu Yichen said, "Aunt, I’m back."

Seeing the person standing outside: "Yichen, you’ve finally decided to come back? You bad kid."

Gu Qianru called out to the house, "Dad, Yichen is back."

Old Master Gu, hearing that his grandson had returned, pushed his chair back and came out: "You little rascal, you finally remember to come back?"

Lu Yichen said, "Grandpa, I’m back."

Gu Baiqing gave his grandson a hefty pat on the shoulder: "It’s good that you’re back, good that you’re back. Wash your hands and sit down for dinner."

Aside from Lu Yichen’s mother Gu Taoran and Uncle Gu Kairong, the rest of the Gu family were all adopted children, including his Aunt Gu Qianru, Second Uncle Gu Junfeng, and Third Uncle Gu Qihao.

Uncle Gu Kairong had no children, so it had been decided early on that Lu Yichen would carry on the Gu family line. The last time there was an incident involving Lu Yichen, the Gu family didn’t give face to either the Luo Family or the Lu Family.

Luo Fangyuan had also retired from the military the year before, and the Luo family had used all their power trying to save Luo Fangyuan to no avail; the disciplinary record in his file made it impossible for him to ever work in the government sector again.

It was said that his father had gone to great lengths just to get him a position in the security department of a cotton mill, and that was only after the Gu family had shown leniency that they managed to get their wish.

Ever since the incident with Lu Yichen, his father Lu Xinyi had spoken up for Luo Fangyuan, and he was henceforth shut out by the Gu family. Lu Xinyi had not been able to enter the Gu household since Lu Yichen left Capital City.

Even his eldest son Lu Yixuan started to have opinions about him, and Lu Yichen’s sister-in-law felt it was unfair for their uncle, so she, along with their children, no longer visited their grandfather’s place. It had been an excruciating year for Lu Xinyi.

But despite this, he persisted because he had to find the truth behind his wife Gu Taoran’s sacrifice, yet there was information he could not let his children know now. Luo Ziming was a wily old fox, and any slight mistake after all his efforts could have ruined everything.

Thus, he was suffering in silence, just hoping to find evidence as soon as possible to drag out the person behind Luo Ziming and avenge his wife Taoran.

Gu Qianru made a phone call to the Lu Family and asked Lu Yiting to pack up and stay over for a few days, saying her younger uncle would pick her up later.

The Lu family was accustomed to this and showed no strong reaction; Lu Yiting packed her things and left the family compound.
