Chapter 621: Chapter 621 Watch Closely Chapter 621: Chapter 621 Watch Closely Luo Xuyan looked up at his grandfather, “Grandpa, the Yuan Family and the Yang Family are both on this list, and the gift money they gave isn’t small, this…”
Luo Qiao said, “You don’t need to worry about this, I’ll return the gifts when there’s an occasion on their side.”
Luo Daoren said, “With us here, how can we let you return the gifts? Just remember to let us know when there’s an event on their side.”
Luo Qiao thought about it and agreed, “Alright then.”
Then Luo Xuyan asked, “There are some people on this list whom I don’t know.”
He read the names out loud: Xiao Jingyu, Han Yuchen, Jing Wanpeng, Zhong Hongjun, Kong Xiangrui, Peng Mingdong, Zhou Zhenhai, Zhang Jinkang, Hu Dongxiong, Zheng Qiang, He Zijie, Zuo Lan, Huo Yuhao, and Xu Shifan.
Luo Qiao slapped her forehead, realizing it must have been Peng Mingdong who called them, and then said, “Alright, these are all my friends, you don’t have to worry about them.”
Luo Qiao took over the account book and looked through it, seeing the first three people had given fifty each, while the rest had given thirty. Given the current standards, this amount of gift money was indeed not small. She got up to retrieve a notebook from inside the house.
She recorded the names of the people who had given gifts along with the amounts, so that it would be convenient to check and return the gifts later. Seeing that Lu Yichen had given sixty, she thought to herself that this guy must have done it on purpose.
The next morning, after everyone had breakfast together, those who had to work finally left.
It wasn’t long before Lu Yichen came over, because he had been helping with the elder brother’s wedding preparations, so Luo Qiao hadn’t had the chance to go over and wish him a happy new year. She had already arranged with Lu Yichen to have him accompany her on a visit today.
Lu Yichen took Luo Qiao to the Yuan Family first. When Old Master Yuan saw Luo Qiao, he said, “Girl, you almost forgot about this old man, didn’t you?”
Luo Qiao responded with an embarrassed smile, “How could that be? I’ve just been really busy recently, and I came over as soon as I got a chance.”
Before the new year, she had sent fresh vegetables to him, how could she have forgotten?
Old Master Yuan, with a smile, asked, “Qiaoqiao, how old is that Miss Xu who came to our house that day?”
As soon as Luo Qiao heard this, she knew the old master had figured something out and replied with a smile, “Why do you want to know her age?”
Old Master Yuan glanced over at Xiao Zhang and said with a chuckle, “I think she and your Little Uncle Yuan are quite well-suited for each other.”
Luo Qiao burst into laughter, thinking to herself there must have been some interaction between the two for the old and wise master to notice.
Luo Qiao didn’t play coy, “She’s 20 this year, studying accounting in her freshman year of college.”
Old Master Yuan smiled and asked, “It seems your Little Uncle Yuan knows her quite well?”
Luo Qiao picked up the tea Xiao Zhang had poured and said, “Of course he knows her well. When Little Uncle was injured, it was she and her brother who took care of him. The patient’s meals were prepared by the Miss Xu you mentioned.”
What she didn’t mention was that afterwards she frequently sent Xu Yuqing to deliver things to Little Uncle Yuan, just to play matchmaker. It looked like it was starting to bear fruit.
Old Master Yuan asked with a smile, “Do you think there’s a chance for those two?”
Luo Qiao replied with a laugh, “What do you think?”
Then both of them broke into laughter. Lu Yichen, standing on the side, thought the pair were really quite idle—deciding things for the two involved who weren’t even sure if they were willing yet.
Luo Qiao said, “Grandpa, don’t worry, just let them have more contact, maybe it will really work out.”
Old Master Yuan nodded, “You take this to heart. Your Little Uncle is already twenty-eight, I’m quite anxious for him.”
After leaving the Yuan Family, Lu Yichen said, “You’ve already planned this out for them?”
Luo Qiao cheekily replied, “Caught by you. If they end up together, it should be good. Little Uncle is a good man, Sister Yuqing has a good temperament; they complement each other. Besides, the Xu siblings need a pillar of support. If the Xu Family knew that the two are attending college now, they probably wouldn’t leave them in peace.”
Lu Yichen looked at Luo Qiao earnestly, “Then when can we arrange our own affairs, I’m also very anxious about it.”
Luo Qiao laughed heartily and said, “Soon, once I pass the college entrance exam and you manage to convince my family, we can get engaged.”
At this, Lu Yichen was thrilled, his smile curving into a crescent, “You just watch.”
