Chapter 788: Chapter 788 How Do You Know So Much Chapter 788: Chapter 788 How Do You Know So Much Zhou Chaoyang listened to his sister’s words, “If this is true, don’t spread it around. It’ll only bring trouble for your sister-in-law Luo Qiao. Just pretend we don’t know.”
Pan Jie chimed in, “Right, right, right, she’s just a young girl with such a huge property, we wouldn’t want someone to set their sights on her. Your brother is right, just act oblivious, you hear?”
Zhou Xiaomin nodded, “I understand, Qiaoqiao has been so good to us, I definitely wouldn’t harm her.”
Then remembering something else, she continued, “Everyone at my workplace envies me for having such a wonderful sister-in-law. That wool scarf she bought for me, my sister-in-law also has one. Last year, when the first snow fell, she delivered it straight to my workplace.
At that time, I didn’t know that Yipin Fruits and Vegetables was her business. I only knew my sister-in-law was writing novels and had published several books already, and she must be making a lot of money just from royalties and copyright fees.
Thinking about it now, my sister-in-law is really amazing, quite the money-making whiz. Us brothers and sisters-in-law are benefiting a lot from her. Ah, it makes me feel both proud and ashamed.”
Pan Jie lightly tapped her daughter’s forehead, “Alright, it’s a good thing for Luo Qiao to be capable. If you ever feel like you owe her something, just be doubly good to her in the future. If you can’t match her conditions, then use your true heart to cherish and love her.”
Zhou Chaoyang then added, “I overheard people at the dinner table talking about Yipin Fruits and Vegetables Base. They mentioned that numerous people had tried to target Yipin before, but without exception, they all got dealt with.
From what those people said, it’s not just one group protecting Yipin Fruits and Vegetables. There was this one official’s son who caused trouble, and within a single day, got put in his place several times, and his father ended up losing his position because of it.
Lots of troublemakers met with accidents afterward, and that’s when everyone finally stopped daring to provoke Yipin Fruits and Vegetables. Those people were very curious about who the real boss of Yipin actually was?”

Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen drove back to the second courtyard, where Rong Daniang and Elder Rong came out to welcome them upon hearing the noise. Rong Daniang smiled and said, “Come in quick, it’s so cold outside. I’ve made jujube pork rib soup early on, have a bowl to warm up first.”
The two went straight to the kitchen and each had a small bowl, which included Chinese yam to nourish the spleen and stomach, quite enriching.
Luo Qiao knew why Rong Daniang had made the soup early today; every time she was on her period, Rong Daniang would stew various nutritious soups for her to drink, a habit that had formed over time.
Lu Yichen listened in the kitchen to Rong Daniang and Luo Qiao exchanging veiled words, and he could guess what was being referred to. The married men in the army had talked plenty about such matters.
So when they returned to the second courtyard and Luo Qiao wanted to wash her hands, he quickly grabbed the warming bottle and added hot water to the basin.
He also said softly, “Rong Daniang knows to make soup for you, yet you’re not careful enough yourself.”
Luo Qiao was startled for a moment upon hearing this, then burst out laughing, causing Lu Yichen to blush.
Only then did she say, “How do you know all this?”
Lu Yichen, a bit embarrassed, replied, “It was pretty obvious from what Rong Daniang said, and I’m not stupid. You were speaking quietly, but I heard everything.”
After saying this, his ears turned red as well. Luo Qiao laughed and asked, “How did you know not to use cold water?”
Lu Yichen didn’t look in Luo Qiao’s direction, but she wasn’t letting him off the hook, so he had to answer, “I heard about it from my buddies in the army when they were shooting the breeze.”
The wind picked up outside, and Luo Qiao, wrapped in a blanket, sat on the couch and began reading a book on microbiology.
Lu Yichen brewed a pot of tea for her and sat down beside her, reaching for the dried fruits on the table to feed her.
Luo Qiao turned a page, “Brother Chen, stay for dinner before you leave.”
Lu Yichen continued feeding her, answering, “Alright.”
In the front courtyard’s kitchen, Rong Daniang was frying dishes, while in the back courtyard the two had gone from simple feeding to cuddling together, evolving from light pecks to deep French kissing.
If not for Lu Yichen’s strong willpower, he would have almost let things get out of control.
Holding Luo Qiao, Lu Yichen breathed heavily in her ear and said with a seductive voice, “Qiaoqiao, how about next year, when you turn twenty, we get married and have a wedding feast?”
