Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Hitching a Ride

Zhang Jianjun looked at Luo Qiao and asked, "How may I address you?"

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Uncle, my name is Luo Qiao."

Zhang Xiao said, "Luo Qiao, what a nice name. I remember telling you mine."

Luo Qiao nodded, "Zhang Xiao, right?"

Zhang Xiao said, "Yes, yes, yes, you have a really good memory. By the way, where are you heading?"

Luo Qiao glanced at the sky, "I’m planning to make a trip to Capital City, but the road isn’t great today. I came late and missed the bus."

Zhang Xiao looked at her father, Zhang Jianjun, who smiled and said, "Let’s give you a ride."

Luo Qiao glanced at the jeep in front and then at her shoes. She wanted to refuse but then she thought if she didn’t go today, she didn’t know when she’d have time next."

If she took the bus at noon, she was afraid there wouldn’t be enough time. It would be troublesome if she couldn’t make it back at night.

Zhang Jianjun saw what she was thinking and said, "It’s fine. The weather isn’t good today anyway, and our shoes are muddy too. We’ll just wash the car later."

By the time Luo Qiao had arrived, she had already scraped the mud off the sides of her shoes with a branch, but the soles were still dirty.

Zhang Xiao pulled her towards the car, saying, "Really, it’s not a problem. There are already footprints in the car. Look for yourself if you don’t believe me."

Since they insisted, it wouldn’t be good to be too fussy, so with the driver’s help, she placed her basket in the trunk and got into the car with them.

Zhang Xiao was extremely enthusiastic inside the car and asked, "Luo Qiao, how old are you?"

Luo Qiao looked at Zhang Xiao and said, "Fifteen."

Zhang Xiao said, "What? You’re fifteen? No way. I’m just a year older than you, but I’m not even as tall as you."

Luo Qiao didn’t answer her; instead, she looked at the scenery outside the window, smiling gently.

Throughout the ride, Zhang Xiao bombarded Luo Qiao with questions, digging deep into her life, and naturally, Luo Qiao also came to know everything that she needed to about Zhang Xiao’s family.

Zhang Jianjun and his daughter sympathized with Luo Qiao’s situation. Luo Qiao hadn’t intended to talk about it, but it was hard to resist Zhang Xiao the chatterbox, who kept firing question after question. Luo Qiao couldn’t just lie, could she?

Besides, Luo Qiao didn’t feel there was any shame in her circumstances.

When they reached the city, Zhang Xiao asked if she was going back today. Luo Qiao replied, "Yes, I have to work tomorrow."

The Zhang’s had intended to bring her back with them, but Luo Qiao said she didn’t know when she would finish her tasks, and that it was quite convenient for her to take the coach, so they let it be.

Before leaving, Zhang Xiao gave Luo Qiao her family’s phone number, insisting that she must come to visit whenever she had time.

Luo Qiao first found a place to enter her space and change her appearance, then she headed towards the Black Market. He Yujie was thinking of waiting another two days but if Luo Qiao still hadn’t appeared, he would have had no choice but to go back to Capital City for his business.

As soon as Luo Qiao entered the Black Market, people came up to greet her.

Ning Rui hadn’t had much to do these days, so he came here to wander around, not wanting to see the boss’s glum face.

When he finally saw the familiar face, he hurried over to greet her.

As Ning Rui led Luo Qiao to the courtyard, they heard He Yujie on the phone, incessantly saying, "I know, I know, calm down. I’m figuring out a way. It’s not that easy to handle, understand? Rest assured, I’ll prioritize you."

He had just hung up and let out a sigh of relief when he turned and saw Ning Rui bringing Luo Qiao in.

He Yujie clapped his hands, "Oh my goodness, my great ancestor, you’ve finally shown up."

Luo Qiao thought to herself that the last time they met, he was all stern, and now, not having seen him for so long, it seemed he had changed his ways.
