Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Caution is the parent of safety Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Caution is the parent of safety Yuan Weicheng thought that he had done so much for her, yet she turned out to be a pile of mud that couldn’t be propped against the wall.
Yuan Weicheng had decided that he wasn’t afraid of trouble from the Yue Family, but his wife must be normal, with the right values, and an understanding of propriety and manners.
This was because his family would not tolerate a troublemaker, and letting such a person into the Yuan Family would likely lead to chaos, which was not something he wished to see.
After finishing his business, Yuan Weicheng went straight back to the military. Fortunately, he had not yet submitted his application, so everything was still under control.
No sooner had he left than the Jin Family descended into chaos. When Jin Li heard Yuan Weicheng was not interested and that he had also broken up with Jin Jing on the spot, she was so enraged that she threw everything within reach on her bed onto the floor.
Jin Jing, unable to accept the blunt breakup delivered by Yuan Weicheng that day, cried her eyes out. Both daughters-in-law of the Jin Family stirred up a storm about dividing the family, and Mother Jin fainted at the sight of such chaos.
Luo Qiao said, “My uncle is a decisive man. It would be worse to drag things out with lingering ties—it would only make things more painful.”
After a pause, she added, “Let my uncle take his time to recover. He’s under a lot of stress. He was overjoyed just the other day, as excited as a monkey reaching for the heavens, and now he’s fallen flat into the mud. He needs some time to adjust.”
Knowing that the Yuan Family members were all in a foul mood, she did not stay for dinner. After consoling Grandpa Yuan, she left with Lu Yichen.
Upon exiting the courtyard, they happened to see Geng Yanqiu. Luo Qiao had Lu Yichen pull the car over, and she got out to call Geng Yanqiu over.
“How have you been lately?”
“Thanks to you, I’m living well.”
“Oh, by the way, my dog just had puppies again. They’ll be a month old soon. Do you want a puppy?”
“Can you give them all to me? Don’t think I’m greedy, but I really could use them.”
“You’re not planning to raise them and eat them, are you?”
“Do I look like that kind of person?”
“I actually need them to guard my vegetable garden. If you don’t believe me, you should come to Ji City sometime, and I’ll take you to see Black Bean and Stepping Snow.”
“Alright, I believe you. Whenever you’re ready, you can come and take them.”
Luo Qiao said, “Okay, thanks. Let me check your pulse.”
After checking the pulse, “Not bad. I’ll bring you a recipe for nourishment and detoxification when I come to pick up the dogs. By summer, you’ll see a big change. Hang in there, beauty.”
Geng Yanqiu laughed, “Thanks a lot. You should hurry back; someone’s waiting for you. See you later.”
Luo Qiao waved to her and jogged away.
Geng Yanqiu watched the receding car until it was out of sight. She then turned her eyes away. Luo Qiao was something of a savior to her.
Not only had she awakened her, but she had also cured the poison in her body. If not for Luo Qiao, she might not have lasted much longer in this world.
They were all supposed to be her own family, yet she couldn’t imagine what role her grandfather and uncle had played. All of these details were irrelevant to her now because she had decided not to trust anyone anymore.
So outwardly, she appeared the same, but in secret she struggled much more than others, relying solely on herself. The people closest to her had become the ones who hurt her most. What an irony.
Indeed, the Geng Family had always indulged her excessive behavior intending to slander her, to make others detest her, ensuring that no one would support her if anything happened.
The wealth and connections left by her parents would then all fall into the Main Geng Family’s lap, but now, it seemed Geng Yanqiu had made it all for naught.
As Geng Yanqiu was lost in thought, she heard a voice from her cousin, “Yan Qiu, it’s freezing. Why are you standing out here?”
Geng Yanqiu subtly avoided the hand extended by her cousin Geng Yanrong, “Let’s go, let’s go home together.”
Geng Yanrong always felt that her cousin had changed, and she was now somewhat afraid of this unpredictable cousin.
Once home, she pulled her mother into the room, “Mom, don’t you think our cousin has been acting very differently lately?”
Main Lady Geng spoke dismissively, “She’s as foolish as ever, finishing off the milk we send daily without leaving a drop.”
Geng Yanrong frowned and said, “Mom, we can’t be too careless. Caution is the parent of safety.”
