Chapter 947: Chapter 947: Hope You Can Protect Her for a Lifetime Chapter 947: Chapter 947: Hope You Can Protect Her for a Lifetime Luo Qiao stood on tiptoe, cradled Lu Yichen’s face in her hands and kissed him, then ran out of the kitchen with a smile.
After staying with the master for one night, the next afternoon, their family of four returned to the Gu family because Gu Junfeng and Gu Qihao’s families were leaving on the fifth day.
As they entered the living room, they saw several people watching TV. When Gu Qianru saw them return, she stood up smiling and said, “Finally, you’re back. Hurry and bring the children over; it’s too cold to be out and about, distressing our Yanyan and Yueyue.”
Gu Ziyi noticed that Luo Qiao was not wearing the red down jacket she had worn that day but had changed into a coffee-colored trench coat with a lining. Envy was evident in her eyes.
She glanced at the courtyard, aware that grandfather had gone to the neighbors’, the Kong Family.
Seeing Luo Qiao enter the kitchen with a bottle, she followed and said, “Second cousin-in-law, the clothes you’re wearing are really nice.”
Luo Qiao didn’t really like this cousin and always felt there was something off about her gaze. She replied indifferently, “This coat is from ‘Si Jin’s’ new collection last year; if you like it, you can check out the Si Jin counter at the department store.”
That one sentence blocked what Gu Ziyi had wanted to say next.
But instead of backing down, she spoke critically of Luo Qiao, “That coat must have been expensive, right? I can’t compare to you, second cousin-in-law, with second cousin taking care of you. Although my second cousin doesn’t have a low salary, he still can’t handle you spending like this.”
Luo Qiao really didn’t want to hear this, “If your second cousin is willing, what’s it to you? You sound so sour. If you’re envious, just find someone to marry, then you’ll have someone to take care of you too.”
Gu Ziyi did not expect Luo Qiao to retort so directly and was at a loss for words, “Second cousin-in-law, how can you speak like that?”
“What’s wrong with how I speak, am I only allowed to be sour, and not allowed to respond? Besides, what are you getting at, coming here as a young sister-in-law and talking to me like this?”
At this moment, the people in the living room also noticed something was amiss and Gu Qianru called out loudly, “Qiaoqiao, what’s wrong?”
Luo Qiao, holding the washed bottle, came into the living room, “A cousin-in-law meddling in her elder cousin-in-law’s affairs, truly remarkable.”
At these words, everyone in the living room was stunned and turned to look at Gu Ziyi, who was following behind.
Gu Junfeng suppressed his anger, “Ziyan, what did you just do?”
Gu Ziyi defended herself grievously, “Cousin-in-law, didn’t I just praise the clothes you’re wearing? What did I do wrong?”
Luo Qiao snorted with laughter, “It’s a waste for you not to be an actress.”
She turned to Lu Yichen and said, “Let’s take the children back to our room, I’m a bit tired.”
Gu Ziyi became anxious, fearing that her parents would blame her if they left, and thinking that Luo Qiao would surely exercise restraint during the new year, thus she came over to hold Luo Qiao, “Second cousin-in-law, what do you mean by what you said just now?”
Luo Qiao shook off her hand abruptly, “What do I mean, don’t you understand? Didn’t you just say my second cousin takes care of me and that I spend recklessly? Even if I couldn’t spend all the money I earn, it’s none of your business, is it—should you be lecturing me?”
This colored the faces of those around with different expressions. Gu Qihao looked at his niece and thought to himself that she must have some mental issue, stirring up trouble for no reason during the new year.
Gu Junfeng, on the other hand, was thinking that they were leaving tomorrow, yet she had to make a fuss till the very end, causing nothing but worry.
Gu Ziyi’s mother, Qiao Wenhui, hurried over, “Qiaoqiao, I’m so sorry, the child’s words carry no harm; she’s just thoughtless…….”
Luo Qiao stared at Qiao Wenhui, her direct gaze making it difficult for her to continue speaking, and Luo Qiao said indifferently, “Aunt, you really have a way with words. Speaking of thoughtlessness, you’re the real mother, I hope you can protect her for a lifetime, for she’ll always be ‘thoughtless.'”
By this time, Lu Yichen was already standing behind Luo Qiao, “Uncle, this isn’t the first or second time Gu Ziyi has acted like this. I won’t mention what she says behind our backs, but what does she mean by causing trouble in front of us?”
Gu Junfeng looked at his nephew and niece-in-law, both upset, “I’ll apologize for her, I’m sorry.”
Seeing her uncle like this, and not wanting to escalate things during the new year, Luo Qiao turned to Lu Yichen, “Yanyan and Yueyue should sleep now, let’s take them back to the room.”
She greeted everyone and then left early with some belongings to go back to the back yard.
