Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Not a Bit of Self-Awareness

Luo Haotian said, "Working hours have begun; both of you calm down. Whatever the issue, we can discuss it after work; don’t let a moment of impulsiveness damage the bond between husband and wife."

Feeling Luo Haotian was right, Qiao Haiqing realized he needed to think about how to handle the situation so as to save face and not hurt his wife and children. He had indeed been impulsive again.

He walked over to his wife, Sun Liying, and helped her up: "Go to work first. I’ll think carefully about what to do with this matter."

When Sun Liying heard Qiao Haiqing’s words, her facial expression didn’t change in the slightest. Shaking off Qiao Haiqing’s hand, she went straight into the house, changed her trousers, grabbed her bag, and left with big strides, not even paying attention to Luo Haotian standing in the courtyard.

Luo Haotian, seeing it was getting late, said to Qiao Haiqing, "I should head over now."

Qiao Haiqing urged his children to quickly get ready for school and glanced at Qiao Meng. Ultimately, he didn’t say anything and stepped out of the courtyard.

Qiao Haiqing hurried a few steps to catch up to Luo Haotian ahead of him: "Haotian, thank you for today."

Luo Haotian responded, "Deputy Director Qiao, sister-in-law is not wrong. Qiao Meng has both a father and a mother. Why take on this burden yourself? Is face really that important?

"Just so others can say that Qiao Haiqing is a man of great integrity, you let your wife and children drift away from you. You are a smart man; weigh what’s more important and think it through."

With that, he walked away briskly.

After Luo Qiao and her siblings finished getting ready, the three took their belongings and left the compound, locking the door behind them on their way out of the residential compound.

Qiao Meng also came out of the courtyard at that time and immediately spotted the three Luo siblings approaching, her eyes filled with hatred for Luo Qiao. If it weren’t for that incident last time, she would still be living well in her uncle’s house and wouldn’t have to be kicked around like a football.

After locking her door, Qiao Meng stood there, waiting for Luo Qiao and her siblings to approach. But when the Luo siblings walked by, they didn’t even glance at her and continued straight ahead, which made Qiao Meng even angrier.

She spoke up, "Luo Qiao, you’ve made me suffer like this; you must be pleased."

Luo Qiao stopped and said, "Are you a dog or something, biting whoever you find?"

Without waiting for Qiao Meng to respond, she continued, "You say I caused your troubles, but wasn’t it you who brought it upon yourself? You insisted on punching above your weight to defend Zhao Jianing and show off your presence. Whom else can you blame?

"And what have I done to provoke you that you conspired against me? I loathe hypocrites like you the most. It wasn’t someone else who brought you to this state; it was you yourself.

"Self-serving to the point of nearly breaking up your uncle’s house, and still, you have the face to stay in the Mechanical Factory Residential Compound. You really do have an unbelievably thick skin."

The listening women nodded in agreement, "Exactly, if it weren’t for her instigating her cousin Sun Guixiang to bully Luo Qiao last time, she wouldn’t have been thrown out of her uncle’s house.

"And now she has the audacity to blame Luo Qiao; that’s truly shameless."

"Indeed, every fight in Deputy Director Qiao’s household is caused by Qiao Meng. Without the slightest self-awareness, she’s always stirring trouble in her uncle’s house, completely ungrateful. Deputy Director Qiao is really too indulgent."

"It’s all because Deputy Director Qiao cares too much about his reputation. Qiao Meng has seized on that; I saw Sun Liying’s face just now, and it didn’t look good. I’m afraid there’s more trouble to come from this."

Luo Qiao, seeing Qiao Meng’s face turn red with anger after being rebuked, turned away with her older and younger brothers, not wanting to spoil her. Some people just get addicted to bullying—like she doesn’t know how to talk back or something.

As the three siblings just got off the bus, Uncle Sun at the street entrance saw them: "Oh, you three siblings are back together. Your grandfather was here just now; he just went back."

Luo Qiao greeted him politely, "Hello, Uncle Sun."

Uncle Sun smiled and asked, "How many days can you stay this time?"

Luo Qiao replied with a smile, "We’ll leave after we’ve finished our business. Uncle Sun, we have to go now, but come over to our house when you have the time."

Uncle Sun laughed, "Go on, your grandparents will be so happy to see you."

Approaching their home, the gate was open. As Luo Qiao entered the yard, she called out, "Grandpa, Grandma, Brother, I’m back."

Luo Xuyuan came out of the living room and broke into a smile upon seeing Luo Qiao: "Qiaoqiao, you’re back. Grandma and Grandpa are in the backyard."
