Chapter 569: Five hundred sixty-seven, receiving guests
Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo arrived at the train station, where they were to pick up Zhao Aishu.
After a short wait, they saw the train approaching slowly from a distance, gradually coming to a halt before them.
Checking the carriage number, the two headed to the carriage where Zhao Aishu was. Before boarding the train, Zhao Aishu had called and told Luo Shu her carriage number.
Just as they reached carriage number nine, they saw Zhao Aishu, Sister Wang, and one of Luo Shu’s subordinates, sent by her, descending from the train.
"Godmother!" Luo Shu greeted with a smile.
"Take it easy, be careful with yourself," Zhao Aishu commanded tensely, eyes fixed on Luo Shu.
Luo Shu flashed a mischievous smile at Zhao Aishu, "Now I really regret getting pregnant. Everyone treats me like I’m a panda; I’m not that delicate."
Zhao Aishu smiled and gave Luo Shu a playful roll of her eyes, "Always saying silly things!"
Turning to the subordinate Luo Shu had sent, she said, "Xiao Jin, thank you for the trouble along the way!" Although she was the Prefectural Magistrate’s Wife, she was accustomed to keeping a low profile. She had originally intended to bring just Sister Wang, but Shushu insisted on having Xiao Jin accompany her for peace of mind.
"Madam, no need to be polite!" Xiao Jin replied with a smile and a shake of his head.
Lu Hanmo reached out and took the luggage from Xiao Jin and Sister Wang.
"Thank you for this time," Luo Shu said with a smile, looking towards Xiao Jin. He was a member of the Divine Doctor Family, a staff member at the Cloud City office.
"Miss, it’s my duty. I’ll head back to the Northwest Office now, please call me whenever you need," said Xiao Jin, bowing to Luo Shu and then striding away.
"Godmother, let’s go," said Luo Shu, offering her arm to Zhao Aishu.
"Make way! Why are you blocking the way here? If you want to talk, go somewhere else; don’t you know you’re obstructing the path?" As Luo Shu and her group were about to leave, a sharp voice called out from behind them.
Turning around, they saw two young women; one was dressed in an orange dress with shoulder-length hair. The other wore a white shirt paired with black shorts, both of whom were quite attractive.
The one who had just spoken was the girl in the orange dress, who was now looking at them with a face full of disdain.
Lu Hanmo glared at the two women coldly. He hated people like this who, despite having plenty of space to walk around, went out of their way to create trouble.
Luo Shu, catching sight of the girl in the orange dress, felt a faint sense of familiarity; it seemed she had seen her somewhere before.
As she pondered this, Zhang Xiaoling’s voice came from behind, "Luo Shu, what are you doing here?"
Turning to Zhang Xiaoling and seeing Yang Le next to her, Luo Shu instantly understood why the girl in the orange dress had seemed familiar, "I’m here to pick up my godmother; are you also here to pick someone up?"
"Instructor Lu, Sister-in-law Lu," Yang Le approached Lu Hanmo and Luo Shu, greeting them.
Lu Hanmo nodded slightly. His mind quickly grasped who Yang Le was there to pick up.
"Third Brother!" Yang Xing looked at Yang Le with a radiant smile, feeling a bit uneasy. She feared he would tell Third Brother about the incident just now. If Third Brother knew she had caused trouble as soon as she got off the train, he would undoubtedly send her back.
However, Third Brother was a Centurion. In this godforsaken Northwest, he counted as a notable official. Surely, he wouldn’t make a big deal out of it with just an instructor, she thought.
"Why did you come without saying anything?" Yang Le frowned at Yang Xing. What surprised him more was that not only did Yang Xing come, but Qian Xiaoxiao was with her too. Now he had a big headache.
"I missed you! Sister Xiaoxiao is on summer vacation, so I dragged her with me," Yang Xing said with a laugh. Qian Xiaoxiao was her best friend and also the person she favored most to become her sister-in-law, but she was taken aback when Third Brother was snatched up by Zhang Xiaoling. She brought Sister Xiaoxiao this time to sabotage their marriage. Sister Xiaoxiao was way prettier than Zhang Xiaoling.
"Sister Xiao Ling, we’ll be going now," Luo Shu told Zhang Xiaoling before she left with the group. Zhang Xiaoling, this little aunt, wasn’t an easy person to deal with.
Seeing Luo Shu and her party leaving, Yang Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Third Brother, look how good Sister Xiaoxiao is; she’s willing to travel this far just to accompany me." She pulled the adjacent Qian Xiaoxiao a step forward, deliberately pushing her in front of Yang Le. She knew Sister Xiaoxiao had always harbored deep feelings for Third Brother but was too shy to confess, allowing that woman Zhang Xiaoling to take advantage first.
Qian Xiaoxiao blushed and smiled at Yang Le, "Hello, Third Brother Yang!" Every time she saw Yang Le, her heart would inevitably race. Yang Le was the most promising and handsome man in their village; she had fallen for him in middle school. Before she could confess, he had left to become a Guard Member.
He was so outstanding, becoming a Centurion in just a few years. She had been waiting for him to return, hoping to find the chance to tell him she liked him a lot and wanted to marry him. But what she got instead was news of his impending marriage.
Zhang Xiaoling looked at Qian Xiaoxiao, her brows knitting in displeasure. She didn’t have a deep impression of Qian Xiaoxiao, but the way she looked at Yang Le was something Zhang Xiaoling didn’t like.
She stepped forward, wrapping her arm around Yang Le’s, "Yang Le, I’m kind of thirsty."
"Then I’ll go get you a soda," Yang Le said, turning to Yang Xing, "You and Xiao Ling wait here for me, I’ll be back soon."
"Okay, Third Brother," Yang Xing replied with a smile.
Once Yang Le had run off, Yang Xing turned to Zhang Xiaoling with a sneer, "Seems like you’re having quite a cozy time here!"
"Yang Xing, watch your tone; I am your sister-in-law," Zhang Xiaoling said sternly. She truly disliked dealing with this arrogant, troublesome little auntie.
"Who knows if you will be for much longer," retorted Yang Xing with a mocking laugh.
Qian Xiaoxiao swiftly tugged at Yang Xing’s sleeve, signaling her to stop talking carelessly.
"Whether I am or not is not for you to decide," Zhang Xiaoling scoffed, looking at Qian Xiaoxiao, "Yang Le is a Guard Member, and disrupting our marriage would be illegal."
"Sister Xiao Ling, you might be misunderstanding something. I’m just accompanying Yang Xing to see Third Brother Yang, nothing more," Qian Xiaoxiao said with an air of grievance, looking at Zhang Xiaoling.
