Chapter 929: Chapter 929: It’s Time to Make a Decision Chapter 929: Chapter 929: It’s Time to Make a Decision Luo Qiao thought of the original host and Old Master Yuan’s past interactions on the farm and suddenly felt touched, “Grandpa Yuan, I’ll bring Yanyan and Yueyue to see you in a few days, and this time I’ll definitely keep my promise.”
“Ah, that’s more like it. I’ll be waiting for you all. Make sure to let me know ahead of time when you’re coming, so I can have the kitchen prepare something for the two little ones to eat.”
“Sure, Grandpa Yuan, I’ll call you in advance.”
“Good, good, good. Jia Ning is coming down now, you two talk.”
“Qiaoqiao, why did you call?”
“I’m asking you now, have you ended it with him? I want the truth.”
“I suggested breaking up, but he disagreed, saying he would handle it.”
“So, what’s your stance? Are you determined to break up, or are you going to keep on dragging this out? If you’re determined, then make it quick. If he’s like this and you still want to drag it out, then I won’t interfere with your business anymore.”
“No, I’ve made up my mind and already applied to work at a branch office. I’ll move there after the New Year.”
“Are you sure?”
“Certain, one hundred percent. After how he’s treated me, there’s nothing left for me to linger on.”
“Alright, I’m going to tell you now, I saw him at a hotpot restaurant on Huayuan Road with a girl, and their behavior was quite something. If you’re sure about the breakup, I won’t hold back.”
“Don’t hold back, not one bit. Don’t spare any feelings, don’t worry about me, serve it right to his face.”
“Okay, with your word, I’m relieved. I hate scumbags the most.”
“If you’re really letting go, you might as well come over to make a clean break. It would be best to bring the Zhong Family and your family along to avoid future troubles.”
“Sure, it’s time to make a decision, and to have a good New Year.”
“There’s no rush, I’ll make sure he stays here waiting.”
Having ended the call, Luo Qiao marched directly towards Zhong Zhaowei’s table.
Lu Yichen followed wordlessly, ensuring her safety.
After approaching, Luo Qiao looked down at Zhong Zhaowei, “What a coincidence, I didn’t expect to bump into you here.”
Zhong Zhaowei’s head buzzed, thinking ‘it’s over’.
Luo Qiao noticed his silence, “What, you don’t recognize me anymore?”
Zhong Zhaowei quickly stood up, “How could that be? You are our Zhong Family’s benefactor, of course, I recognize you. Are you here to eat as well?”
“What kind of question is that? If we’re here, it’s not for anything but eating, right?”
“Why don’t you sit down and join us.”
“Oh, aren’t you going to introduce her to me?”
Zhong Zhaowei felt like dying right there and then; why did he have to choose this place today: “This is my colleague, Zou Lina.”
“Is it so intimate now for colleagues to have a meal together? Is everyone at your workplace like this? By the way, where do you work again? Your workplace seems very open-minded.”
By this time, people nearby had started noticing the commotion.
Zhong Zhaowei’s forehead was covered in fine sweat, “Luo Qiao, please, sit down. Don’t stand.”
Luo Qiao didn’t hesitate and took a seat, gesturing Lu Yichen to sit beside her.
Luo Qiao’s gaze fell on the girl, “You’re called Zou Lina, are you aware she has a significant other?”
Zou Lina put down her chopsticks, “His significant other, isn’t that me?”
Luo Qiao turned towards Zhong Zhaowei, “What’s this situation? Didn’t you say she was your colleague? How did she become your significant other?”
Zhong Zhaowei quickly pulled Zou Lina, “Stop it now, we can talk about any issue later.”
Luo Qiao burst into laughter, “What, it can’t be discussed in front of others? Has it got to be some shameful secret arrangements?”
Zou Lina was also annoyed, “Who are you to come here and meddle in our business?”
Luo Qiao leisurely stretched out her hand, fiddling with her delicate hands, “Didn’t he just say? I’m their family benefactor. I never thought of myself like that before, but now I feel like I indeed am a benefactor to the Zhong Family.”
Looking up at Zhong Zhaowei, “Do you understand the meaning of my words?”
How could Zhong Zhaowei not understand? Providing treatment to his grandfather was because of Old Master Yuan, and not considering himself as a benefactor to the Zhong Family was because of Yuan Jianing. But now, having betrayed Yuan Jianing, there was no face left, so she indeed was the benefactor of the Zhong Family now.
