Chapter 537: Chapter 537: Really a Burn-Bridges Type

Luo Qiao was very angry after hearing this, for the consequences must have been serious. Therefore, she decided to find someone to take care of them and make them quiet down.

She didn’t go directly home but detoured to the Jing Family’s residence instead. Her first reason was to give Old Master Jing a follow-up examination, and secondly, she wanted to ask Jing Wanpeng for help in dealing with those families. If Lu Yichen were to handle it, his role as a police officer would indeed be inappropriate.

After the examination, she voluntarily left a bottle of Nourishing Life Pills she made for Old Master Jing, instructing him to take one pill a day to improve his symptoms of qi deficiency and to help calm his mind.

Old Master Jing was recovering well, but as the weather turned cold, the family no longer let him go outside, and he began to enjoy gardening at home.

Luo Qiao promised to bring him a pot of orchids next year, which made the old man very happy.

After leaving Elder Jing’s place, Luo Qiao asked the Butler, "Excuse me, is your Third Young Master in?"

The Butler thought to himself that this girl was quite interesting, as she always asked about the Third Master upon leaving, but never mentioned the other two.

Unfortunately today, their Third Young Master was not in, so he said, "I’m afraid it’s inconvenient timing. Our Third Young Master isn’t here today. If there’s anything I can help you with, I’d be happy to pass the message to Third Young Master on behalf of Miss Luo."

Luo Qiao replied, "Can you get in touch with him? I need his help with a matter."

The Butler thought for a moment, then led her to a room near the main entrance and dialed a number: "Hello, Third Young Master, Miss Luo is here, and she needs to speak with you."

He then handed the phone to Luo Qiao: "Hello, Jing Third Young Master, I need your help with something."

Jing Wanpeng had been in a meeting with his subordinates and now motioned for them to leave before speaking, "What’s the matter? Let’s hear it."

Luo Qiao briefly recounted the situation concerning her master and mistress and then said, "Just don’t let them lose their jobs. If they can’t make a living, they’re likely to be even more of a pain for my master. Just intimidate them a bit so they won’t cause trouble for my master and mistress again."

Jing Wanpeng suggested, "How about I transfer all of them out of Capital City?"

Luo Qiao massaged her temples and thought for a moment before responding, "Wouldn’t that be making too big a move? I don’t want to cause you trouble, and besides, I’m concerned that, in case something happens in the future, my master and mistress might blame me for meddling too much. I just want those families to stop bothering them, that’s all."

Jing Wanpeng said irritably on the phone, "You’re really handing me a tough problem; they can’t be made to leave Capital, yet they must be stopped from causing trouble. What’s my compensation?"

Luo Qiao laughed and said, "I just left a bottle of Nourishing Life Pills for Elder Jing."

Jing Wanpeng deliberately commented, "From what you’re saying, if you weren’t asking for my help, those Nourishing Life Pills might not have been given to my family’s Elder Jing?"

Luo Qiao almost choked and said somewhat awkwardly, "You really think too much, as expected of a businessman."

Seeing the young girl getting quite flustered, he finally said, "Alright, I know about it now. I’ll take care of it for you in the next few days, and I’ll certainly make sure they don’t dare to cause any further trouble."

Now Luo Qiao was pleased and said, "Then I thank Jing Third Young Master. I’ll hang up now."

She hung up right after speaking.

Jing Wanpeng on the other end of the line laughed at her bluntness: "She really burns bridges after crossing them."

Luo Qiao took out two more bottles of Nourishing Life Pills from her bag and handed them to the Butler standing outside, "Please give these two bottles of Nourishing Life Pills to your Third Young Master for me."

With the matter settled, Luo Qiao finally relaxed and walked cheerfully toward the bus stop.

Unexpectedly, not far from the stop, she ran into Xu Yuqing and her brother Xu Shifan. Luo Qiao asked, "What’s going on with you two?"

Their clothes were clearly not changed for a long time, and Xu Yuqing was staggering as she walked, appearing to be sick.

Luo Qiao looked at Xu Yuqing, "Are you sick?"

When Xu Yuqing saw Luo Qiao, she could no longer hold on and fainted. Xu Shifan quickly caught his sister, calling out anxiously, "Sis, sis, wake up! Don’t scare me."

Luo Qiao felt her forehead, "Do you not know she’s running a fever?"

Xu Shifan opened and closed his mouth several times, finding it embarrassing to talk about their family problems. He knew his sister was sick, but in recent days no relatives they approached were willing to help them, all fearing being involved in trouble.
