Chapter 508: Chapter 508 Entanglement Chapter 508: Chapter 508 Entanglement The next morning, Luo Haotian and Luo Siyuan went back to work, and Luo Siyan returned to the military unit. When they were leaving, Luo Qiao gave them some tea she had brought back from the south, to help them repay social debts.
Luo Qiao walked over to Luo Siyan, “Third Brother, could you help me find a few retired soldiers with good character and capability? I have some arrangements for them here, but there’s no rush. Take your time.”
Luo Siyan asked, “What do you need them for?”
Luo Qiao whispered, “I have some money and I’m thinking of asking a friend to help me bid on a plot of land in the suburbs to start a flower base project. Capital City is going to develop more and more, and it will certainly need more greenery. I’m fond of flowers and plants, so I want to give it a try.
But you must keep this a secret for me first. I don’t want the family to worry. It won’t be too late to tell them once it’s successful, and it’ll also be a nice surprise.”
Luo Siyan thought his sister was just dabbling and said, “Alright, I’ll start looking once I get back. If you’re short on money, I’ve got some you can use.”
After they left, Luo Xuyuan carried out the things he had packed the day before into the yard. The Luo’s Elderly Couple also changed into the clothes Luo Qiao had brought back for them. Today, they were going to accompany their grandson to register at the university, taking the opportunity to also tour Hua University.
Luo Xuyan also wanted to go, but Luo Daoren didn’t allow him to take leave, saying that he couldn’t miss class and he could visit later when he was on a break.
So the five of them left the house together. The bus that Luo Xuyan needed to take came first. After he boarded and his bus departed into the distance, Luo Qiao and the others then boarded another bus that had arrived, needing to transfer once in the middle to reach Hua University.
When they arrived, some people had already started the registration process. Luo Qiao took out her camera to snap a few photos of her grandparents and her second brother. Then, she asked a passing student to take a few pictures of them before heading inside.
Standing in the Hua University campus, Luo Xuyuan was truly filled with a mix of emotions, hardly believing he had actually stood up for himself and been admitted to university.
From then on, his life would undergo earth-shaking changes.
Looking gratefully at his sister beside him, he headed towards the registration area, full of vigor and spirit.
An upperclassman guided them, and the process went quickly. The male student who was guiding them kept glancing at Luo Qiao as they talked. Luo Xuyuan, utterly intolerant, flatly declined the offer for further assistance up to his dormitory. Once the guide had walked away, he said, “Qiaoqiao, you saw that, right? Stay far away from that kind of guy in the future.”
Luo Qiao laughed, “Got it, Second Brother.”
The Luo’s Elderly Couple smiled, “Our Qiaoqiao is beautiful, so it’s normal for people to come up and chat. But in the future, you need to be discerning and not be fooled by a few sweet words.”
Luo Qiao thought of Lu Yichen and wondered what that guy was up to now.
In Ji City, having just wrapped up a case, Lu Yichen returned to the station where Cai Yajing, the daughter of Deputy Director Cai, hurried over to him, “Yichen, you’re back. My dad asked me to tell you to come and have a casual meal at our place tonight.”
Lu Yichen had reached the point of extreme annoyance with Deputy Director Cai’s daughter, who was constantly watching him, “Sorry, I have plans tonight. Please thank Deputy Director Cai for me.”
Cai Yajing, somewhat displeased, said, “Lu Yichen, how can you be busy every day? My dad’s invitation to our house for dinner is a sign of respect for you. Don’t always be so unappreciative.”
Lu Yichen immediately scowled, “I’m here to work, not to play house with you and your father. Could you keep your distance from me? That scent on you is suffocating. Can’t you be more mindful of your image as a police officer every day?”
Cai Yajing, not expecting Lu Yichen to be so blunt and harsh, ran out crying.
Some colleagues who had a good relationship with Lu Yichen in the station came over, with Wang Mingqiang patting Lu Yichen’s shoulder, “Brother, those words you just said will probably reach Deputy Director Cai’s ears before long. Aren’t you afraid he’ll make things difficult for you?”
Following behind, Qi Jianlin chimed in, “The Deputy Director’s daughter really is too annoying. Yichen made it crystal clear, and yet she shamelessly hassles him every day. Her upbringing really is something else.”
