Chapter 793: Chapter 793 The goal has been achieved Chapter 793: Chapter 793 The goal has been achieved Lu Yichen and the others had just come in when someone called out at the front door, “Is Deputy Director Lu at home?”
Lu Yichen went out for a moment, bringing in a man and a woman: “Qiaoqiao, this is Director Zhou Aiqing, who lives opposite us and is in charge of petitions, and next to him is Zheng Changqing’s wife, Kang Liyan.”
Then he pointed at Luo Qiao as he introduced, “This is my fiancée, Luo Qiao.”
Luo Qiao greeted them with a smile, “Hello.”
Kang Liyan said with a smile, “I’ve always heard people in the residential compound saying how beautiful Deputy Director Lu’s fiancée is, and today I finally got to see her for myself.”
Fearing Luo Qiao might feel embarrassed, Lu Yichen quickly joined in the conversation, “She’s still in school and doesn’t come over often.”
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Director Zhou and his wife left, and Lu Yichen rubbed the top of Luo Qiao’s hair, “What would you like to eat tonight? I’ll cook it for you.”
Luo Qiao said, “Don’t bother cooking, this morning Rong Daniang told me she’d stew some yellow rice for dinner, and she’ll send me back later. You can try it too.”

The Wei Family had been given a sound thrashing and had calmed down.
They were truly frightened by Luo Qiao, the pain reaching deep into their bones, but there wasn’t a single injury on their bodies. Thus, no matter how much they disliked Ning Xueling, they had to bear it.
Wei Zixiong found out from the neighbors only after the Ning Family and the Luo Family had left that Ning Xueling’s adopted daughter, who was picked up halfway, was engaged to a deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, who was also a former soldier.
Now he understood why the factory manager had asked him to go and say those words, and Wei Zixiong’s thoughts became crooked. It seemed he still needed to treat Ning Xueling better. Perhaps her children still had feelings for her and stood up for her out of affection. Maybe they could be useful in the future.
If Luo Qiao knew what he was thinking, she would probably say disdainfully, “You’re overthinking it.”
Regardless of what the Wei Family thought, as long as Ning Xueling didn’t disturb their lives, Luo Qiao’s goal had been achieved.

Almost a week into the new semester, Luo Qiao and her classmates were getting along harmoniously. She even made a good friend, Ji Lin, a classmate from Hai Market. As the class ended at noon and they were leaving the classroom, they saw Shen Juan hurrying over.
Luo Qiao smiled at Shen Juan, “What brings you here?”
She hastened to introduce, “This is my new classmate, Ji Lin.”
Then she introduced to Ji Lin, “This is Shen Juan, my classmate from the first year, and also a good friend of mine.”
After they greeted each other, the three of them walked outside. Noticing Shen Juan’s changing expressions, Luo Qiao asked, “Is something the matter?”
Ji Lin, seeing Shen Juan’s expression, tactfully said, “I’m going back to the classroom to get some things. I’ll catch up with you later.”
When Ji Lin was out of earshot, Shen Juan said quietly, “Qiaoqiao, Su Xiaorui is pregnant.”
Luo Qiao was also taken aback, “How do you know?”
Shen Juan looked around, “The day before yesterday, I saw her retching in the water room, so I thought she was just feeling unwell, but today she fainted in the classroom. Cheng Zijun, our class president, and I took her to the infirmary.”
Luo Qiao’s expression also became solemn, “How could this happen?”
Shen Juan said, “I’m afraid she might do something drastic and not know how to handle it. I don’t know what to do?”
After some thought, Luo Qiao said, “Then we’ll just have to look after her more. We shouldn’t interfere too much in this matter; it’s mainly up to her. After all, the controversy about her earlier this year was quite a stir. This incident will only add to the gossip. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for her to stay at school.”
As they talked, a commotion erupted outside the law faculty building; Su Xiaorui had come out from the infirmary and stopped a senior, Zheng Changqing.
After finding out he had a fiancée and being reminded by Luo Qiao, Su Xiaorui had intentionally avoided him, effectively cutting ties.
Zheng Changqing teased Su Xiaorui as she approached, “Oh, are you playing hard to get with me? I’ve been looking for you several times since the New Year, and you’ve been elusive. Can’t play the game anymore, huh?”
Su Xiaorui’s face was pale as she said to Zheng Changqing, “I need to talk to you.”
