Chapter 701: Chapter 701 I Don’t Want You to Get Involved

Everyone later talked about Xu Yuqing’s studies and then moved on to discuss future employment. Luo Qiao spoke up, "You guys better not poach from me, Sister Xu, oh, I should start calling you ’little auntie’ soon. After all, she’ll be my person in the future."

She laughed after finishing her sentence.

Xu Yuqing didn’t play coy and replied, "Qiaoqiao’s words are true. I will work under Qiaoqiao after I graduate. If it weren’t for Qiaoqiao, I don’t know what my brother and I would be like now."

Yuan Weicheng, worried she would think of past sorrows, said, "Alright, let’s not talk about the past; things are pretty good now. Following Qiaoqiao won’t be a mistake in the future, and besides, you’ll have me, won’t you?"

When he was hospitalized last time, Luo Qiao had told him everything. He knew that the Yipin Fruits and Vegetables Base was hers, and so was the flower base. Once it developed, it wouldn’t be less profitable than Yipin Fruits and Vegetables.

Qiaoqiao was resourceful. Following her wouldn’t be worse than holding a government job.

Hearing Xu Yuqing put it that way, Old Master Yuan’s regard for her increased even more. She was a person who remembered kindness and kept her promises. He believed she wouldn’t be wrong for his youngest son.

Song Huizhen and Tiong Shulan, the sisters-in-law, exchanged glances, seeing that this sister-in-law was sensible, so getting along in the future shouldn’t be a problem.

After dinner, Xu Yuqing explained her family situation in front of the Yuan family and then said, "This is my situation. My only family now is my younger brother."

The engagement gift would be given on the third day after school started because Xu Yuqing still had to go to school, so they agreed to just have a meal together at noon to make it official.

After seeing Xu Yuqing out, Luo Qiao quietly asked Yuan Jianing, "The things you spoke of before, were they true?"

Yuan Jianing nodded, "Geng Yanqiu is really unlucky. The Geng Family’s Main Wife seems to indulge her but actually intends to disable her, especially her cousin, who wants to marry into the Jing Family. She kept stirring up Geng Yanqiu to cause trouble for me."

After hearing this, Luo Qiao said, "It seems Geng Yanqiu’s cousin is quite scheming, huh? Does her grandfather know about these things?"

In a low voice, Yuan Jianing replied, "He probably doesn’t know; otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken such drastic measures against his eldest son. I heard he’s been bedridden for several days now."

"Where is Geng Yanqiu now?"

"She should be at home. I haven’t heard of her leaving. She’s probably healing from her wounds alone. Anyone would be hurt by such events."

After chatting with Yuan Jianing for a bit more, Luo Qiao stood up to say goodbye to the Yuan family, explaining that her household would have help that afternoon, and she needed to go back to check on things.

Upon leaving the Yuan residence, Luo Qiao found a public telephone and, after some thought, decided to call Geng Yanqiu, "Hello, could you please get Geng Yanqiu for me?"

The person on the phone seemed troubled but still went to knock on a door, "Miss Yan Qiu, there’s a call for you downstairs."

Just as the maid outside thought she wouldn’t come out and was about to turn away, the door opened, and Geng Yanqiu headed straight downstairs.

"Hello, this is Geng Yanqiu. Who’s this?"

"It’s me, Luo Qiao. Can you come out?"

"Where are you?"

"Outside the compound, at the public phone booth."

"Wait for me, I’ll be right there."

After hanging up, Luo Qiao said to Xiao Ya and Second Brother Luo Xuyuan, "I need to wait here for a friend to have a quick chat. Why don’t you guys check out the consignment shop up ahead, and I’ll come to find you in a bit."

Luo Xuyuan replied, "We might as well stay with you."

Luo Qiao waved her hand, "No need. Go take a look at the consignment shop. It’s just a quick word with her, and she probably doesn’t want others to know. I’ll join you once I’m done."

Luo Xuyuan, somewhat worried, asked, "Do I know the person you’re meeting?"

Luo Qiao said, "It’s the Geng Family’s granddaughter."

At that, Luo Xuyuan fell silent and then added, "Make sure to talk somewhere private to avoid being seen by nosy people. The affairs of the Geng Family are complicated and I don’t want you getting involved."

Luo Qiao nodded, "Don’t worry, it’s just a quick exchange."

Xiao Ya looked to Luo Qiao, "We’ll wait for you up ahead then."

As they moved away, Geng Yanqiu came out from the compound and walked toward the booth. Luo Qiao pointed to the kiosk next to them and headed inside. With ivy covering it, it was a good spot for a private conversation.
