Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Can’t Blame Others Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Can’t Blame Others Luo Qiao couldn’t bear to read any further, turning around towards the Yuan Family’s residence. She hadn’t walked far when someone shouted, “This is terrible, why is there blood? Could it be a miscarriage?”
“Oh my, the Qiao Family is probably in big trouble now.”
“It seems Qiao Yanhui is really going to take a fall this time, there’s even a life at stake now.”
“Qiao Yanhui is truly despicable, being engaged to Geng Yanrong and still doing such shameless things.”
When Luo Qiao arrived at the entrance of the Yuan Family’s home, she saw Old Master Yuan standing at the gateway looking towards the Qiao Family’s direction. Luo Qiao spoke up, “Grandpa, are you planning to intervene?”
Old Master Yuan’s complexion looked somewhat embarrassed as he asked, “Was someone beaten?”
Regardless, he had brought them up, and even though they had left his home and were no longer his concern, it still troubled his heart.
Luo Qiao understood what the old master was thinking, but today’s incident was Aisiss’s own doing out of her foolishness. If the Yuan Family stepped in to support them, the Qiao Family might very well direct their anger toward the Yuan Family.
Old Master Yuan said, “Let’s go back first. We’ll wait for things to calm down over there before we decide.”
Luo Qiao helped Old Master Yuan walk back, speaking softly, “The scandal this time seems to have been too big, I’m afraid there’s no place for them in this courtyard anymore.”
Old Master Yuan said, “It’s also my fault, I shouldn’t have taken them in to start with. They wouldn’t have lost their senses and come to this pass.”
Luo Qiao replied, “Grandpa, you mustn’t think that way. It’s their mother and daughter who forgot their roots and harbored inappropriate thoughts, no one else is to blame.”
Old Master Yuan might have thought of Geng Yanrong and his mood soured, so after entering the house, he retreated to his bedroom.
Luo Qiao knew the old master was feeling irritable and didn’t disturb him, going straight into the storeroom to prepare ingredients needed for dinner. As she took them to the kitchen, she heard godmother Zhang Shulan’s voice, “Qiaoqiao, mom is back.”
Luo Qiao washed her hands and stepped out of the kitchen at the sound, “Mom, did you get off work early today?”
Zhang Shulan put down what she was carrying, “Indeed, I received a call that you’re leaving tomorrow, so I asked the boss for some time off. Qiaoqiao, your grandpa told me you got your medical license.”
Luo Qiao smiled, “Yes, I got it. My dear mom, aren’t I amazing?”
Zhang Shulan laughed, “Amazing, truly amazing.” She continued to laugh heartily.
Having had their fun, Zhang Shulan eventually said, “Qiaoqiao, I’ve bought you two outfits. See if you like them. If not, we can go exchange them.”
Saying so, she took out two sets of clothes from her bag – a light blue dress, simple and elegant, a pair of black bell-bottom pants, and a black-and-white checkered shirt.
Luo Qiao laughed, “Didn’t you already buy me plenty of fabric before? Why buy me more clothes?”
Zhang Shulan said with a smile, “These clothes and pants were bought while I was shopping before. I was planning to send them to you but didn’t get the chance. This dress, in particular, I bought just now at the department store. You can wear it in a few days. A girl can never have too many clothes.”
Luo Qiao, holding the clothes, smiled radiantly. Her biological mother had never treated her like this, but her godmother truly cherished her with all her heart. She felt warm inside, “Thank you, mom.”
Zhang Shulan patted Luo Qiao, “Go try them on and see if they fit.”
They went upstairs together, and in Luo Qiao’s room, both outfits suited her well. They looked good on her, embodying different styles and giving off different vibes.
Zhang Shulan laughed, “Not bad, I thought these clothes would suit you the moment I saw them. They really accentuate your tall figure once on.”
After trying on the clothes and coming back downstairs, Zhang Shulan suddenly asked, “Qiaoqiao, where is your grandpa?”
Luo Qiao glanced at the closed room door, leading Zhang Shulan into the kitchen before responding, “There was trouble at the Qiao Family’s place earlier, involving Si Si. Grandpa is not in a good mood.”
The two chatted as they organized things.
Zhang Shulan couldn’t help but gloat, “What trouble has Aisiss gotten into now? Surely it can’t be the case of a dog that can’t change its eating habits?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Qiao couldn’t help but smile a little to herself. It seemed that she and her godmother were truly in sync, her own reaction had been the same at the time.
