Chapter 544: Chapter 544 Really an Old Fox

Luo Qiao suddenly understood, that there might really be a mix-up with the significant other, that the one she had brought home last time wasn’t her actual partner. With this thought, everything became clear to her, the one she brought last time must have been an impostor, and the one coming tomorrow should be the real girlfriend.

Little Uncle Yuan wanted to take advantage of the crowd to cover up his partner’s embarrassment. With strangers around Yuan Family members, they wouldn’t notice anything off about Little Uncle Yuan’s partner. This way, he also had time to reintroduce his family to his partner, allowing her to get accustomed and without exposing the truth.

Little Uncle Yuan, truly a cunning fox.

Luo Qiao couldn’t help but admit that she had guessed right, he simply wanted more of them to go, so that the Yuan Family wouldn’t focus all their attention on Jin Jing.

Luo Qiao still made a call to her third brother: "Hello, sorry to trouble you, but could you fetch Luo Siyan for me?"

"Please hold."

"Hello, who is this?"

"Third brother, it’s me, Luo Qiao."

"Qiaoqiao, have you returned to Capital City?"

"Yeah, I’ve been back for several days now. Third brother, can you take time off tomorrow?"

"Is something the matter?"

"I have to visit Grandpa Yuan tomorrow, Little Uncle Yuan is bringing his partner home, and it would be good for you to come over and get to know her, I’d like you to go."

Luo Siyan couldn’t possibly misunderstand Qiaoqiao’s implication, but he really didn’t need to do this. He had reached where he was today through his own hard work and perseverance.

He was somewhat reluctant to go and said, "Qiaoqiao, is it okay if I don’t go?"

Luo Qiao replied, "Third brother, if you can get the day off, I hope you’ll come. Some things are better discussed face-to-face, okay? Don’t worry, sister knows what you’re thinking, just take it easy."

They agreed that Luo Siyan would go directly there the next day and rendezvous at the front gate. After hanging up, Luo Qiao went out to call Stone from where he was happily playing with the other kids, and they both walked back.

The next day, Lu Yichen arrived at the Luo Family bright and early, even having breakfast there.

Luo Xuyuan kept watching him, which made Lu Yichen feel a bit uncomfortable, wondering whether his second uncle had noticed something.

After helping grandmother clean up, the group finally left, picking up Fourth Brother Luo Siyuan outside the Mechanical Factory Residential Compound, and meeting with third brother Luo Siyan at the main gate of the compound.

The gifts for the Yuan Family had been prepared early in the morning by Luo Qiao. She explained to her family that she had called someone to prepare them the day before, and they were delivered first thing in the morning: a pot of camellias, two jars of home-brewed fruit wine from her own space, four half-pound packs of tea leaves, plus skin cream she had made herself, and some common fruits.

Everyone carried something in their hands, and when they arrived at the Yuan Family, Yuan Weicheng had not yet returned, but the Yuan Family members were all present. Just as Luo Qiao was about to start the introductions, Yuan Weicheng entered with his partner.

Indeed, as Luo Qiao had thought, she saw Yuan Weicheng whispering to his partner at the doorway, surely he had already briefed her on the basic details of the family members before, and now they were matching names to faces.

While everyone was being introduced, Jin Jing got to recognize people again. After introductions were finished, Luo Qiao distributed the gifts they had brought, including a box of skin cream for Jin Jing.

Tea leaves were half a pound per family, and the men quickly snatched up their share with their keen eyes and quick hands. The flowers and wine were for Old Master Yuan, fruit for everyone, creating immense satisfaction - after all, this was also considered giving New Year’s gifts.

Afterward, Luo Qiao surreptitiously provided cover for them. Yuan Weicheng found an opportunity to say to Luo Qiao, "Thank you."

Luo Qiao acted as if she didn’t know anything, just smiling foolishly. Jin Jing, on the other hand, quickly fit in with everyone.

Yuan Jianing ran over to Luo Qiao, "Today, I find Little Uncle’s partner much more agreeable than before. I don’t know why, but last time it felt like she was so fake, all pretense. But today, she seems like a different person altogether, and the two of them have quite a rapport."

Luo Qiao laughed, "As long as Little Uncle likes her, why care so much?"

Tiong Shulan came over, "Qiaoqiao, mom bought you an outfit a few days ago. Do you want to try it on in your room?"

Luo Qiao smiled, "Sure."

The Luo brothers all sounded the alarm bells. Qiaoqiao was so casual with the people from Yuan’s second Wife, and they all felt a twinge of jealousy – she was their beloved sister after all.

Thus, each of the Luo brothers resolved internally to work harder and earn more money to spend on their sister.
