Chapter 703: Chapter 703 Has the Potential to be a Matchmaker Chapter 703: Chapter 703 Has the Potential to be a Matchmaker Woo Yunmei nodded, “Xuyan has already talked to the family about it, and we’ve looked at a fair number of houses. We should be able to settle on one before the start of the school term; you’ll have to come over and help me tidy up the house when you’re free.”
Woo Yunping laughed, “Deal. I had to go and ask, now I’ve found myself an extra chore.”
Luo Haotian came in from outside and saw the Woo family in the living room, “My dear relatives, you’re here.”
The parents of his sister-in-law hurriedly got up to greet him, “My dear relative, congratulations indeed, three college students in the family now.”
Luo Haotian started laughing, “Thank you, thank you.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Yuan family arrived, all together this time. Luo Qiao hadn’t expected Yuan Weicheng to come as well, and he had brought Xu Yuqing with him.
Luo Qiao teased Xu Yuqing, “So, it’s already a case of ‘wherever he goes, she follows’?”
Xu Yuqing blushed, and Yuan Weicheng flicked Luo Qiao’s forehead, “No respect for your elders; you should call her ‘Auntie’ in the future.”
Luo Qiao, covering her flicked forehead, joked back, “Uncle, now that you’ve got a wife, you bully your niece; you’ve changed.”
Tiong Shulan and Yuan Weihan watched their daughter clowning around and both burst into laughter.
Luo Qiao then introduced the Woo family to the Yuan family, and they all hit it off, filling the living room with merriment.
Not long after, her master and his wife also arrived. Luo Qiao greeted them with a bright smile, “Master, Mistress, please come in. Why are you arriving so late, the day’s heating up.”
Feng Shumin said, “We were actually on our way pretty early, but then we bumped into Liu Yuetao’s mother causing trouble again, so we had to stay and help sort things out before coming here.”
Luo Qiao asked, “What’s she up to this time?”
Feng Shumin started to fume at the mention, “A few days ago, a friend of Yuetao’s biological father came to the Capital and seeing how hard life was for the grandfather and grandson, left them some money.
Originally, no one knew about this but them. However, this man ran into Yuetao’s mother at the department store; they seemed to know each other well, struck up a conversation and he let slip that he had left some money for the Liu family grandchildren to have an easier life.
As a result, Yuetao’s mother came knocking, claiming that her family had run into some trouble and asking to borrow some money. You should have seen Grandma Liu, not giving in no matter how hard she was pressed, until she let something slip in anger.”
Luo Qiao thought Liu Yuetao’s biological mother was a real piece of work, her brain must be waterlogged for her to behave like that – not only does she not help, but she also wants to take advantage of them.
Old Master Yuan noticed the Elder Yang Couple standing at the front gate, hesitating to come in, and shouted, “Old Yang, what are you dawdling for over there?”
Luo Qiao, with her master and his wife, headed back into the living room, “And then what happened?”
Yang Jiancheng took over the conversation, “Some neighbors called the community service center, and they took her away for some thought education.”
Listening to this, Luo Qiao burst into laughter, “That’s great, just what she deserves, to be scared right down to her bones so she won’t dare bother the Liu family grandfather and grandson again.”
As the story concluded, everyone moved into the living room. The master went to play chess with Grandpa Yuan, and the mistress joined the Yuan family ladies for a chat. Feng Shumin, probably knowing that Luo Qiao was busy today, told her “You don’t need to mind us, we’re all familiar faces; you go ahead with your tasks.”
Luo Qiao nodded, “Alright, you guys have a seat and chat; I’ll bring you some watermelon.”
No sooner had Luo Qiao finished speaking than Luo Xuyan walked in with the watermelon. After handing a slice to each person, he placed the rest on the coffee table.
Hearing someone greeting Grandpa in the courtyard, Luo Qiao turned to see her uncles and their families arriving; both Luo Xuyuan and she hurriedly got up to welcome them.
Next, her Third Brother arrived with the Yue Family. Zhou Wanfeng entered and saw Yuan Weihan and his wife sitting in the living room, “Uncle Yuan, you arrived pretty early.”
Yuan Weihan got up and greeted, smiling, “Old Zhou, in a few more days, we’ll technically be relatives too. Qiaoqiao was the matchmaker for Siyan and Xiaomin.”
Old Zhou laughed heartily, “Well then, I will be expecting your good care in the future.”
As they finished talking, everyone in the living room laughed. Yuan Weicheng also got up to greet Zhou Wanfeng and his wife and introduced Xu Yuqing to them.
On the side, Yuan Jianing commented, “Qiaoqiao, you’ve got quite the talent for matchmaking.”
Hearing Yuan Jianing’s words, Luo Qiao said seriously, “Playing matchmaker is my specialty; I’ll keep up the good work.”
The room erupted into laughter at her response.
Then Luo Qiao saw Second Brother Luo Xuyuan glance at Xiao Ya, who was sitting diagonally opposite him. Xiao Ya caught his gaze, and their eyes briefly met before both quickly looked away, pretending nothing happened. Luo Qiao couldn’t help but find it hilarious.
Turning her head, she saw that Yuan Jiaming, the Yuan Family’s Third Brother, had been keeping a watchful eye on her cousin, Ning Lingyu. He must have fallen for her at first sight at the previous meeting. Heh, heh! But judging by her cousin’s demeanor, she was oblivious to it. It seemed Luo Qiao had some work to do, as this was another match she really hoped would happen.
