Chapter 965: Chapter 965: Just Give Up That Hope Chapter 965: Chapter 965: Just Give Up That Hope Luo Haotian was so shocked he almost knocked the cup beside him onto the floor, “This joke isn’t funny at all.”
“I’m not joking, Haotian, I know I was wrong. I was out of line before. I’ve thought about it for a long time. We have five children, and they surely hope that our family can be united and harmonious.”
Luo Haotian looked at her as if she were a fool, “What do you take me for? A trash dump?”
After speaking, he stood up, “Don’t call me again in the future, and don’t threaten me with coming to the factory either. If you’re not afraid of being laughed at, you’re welcome to try.”
“Haotian, everyone makes mistakes. Can’t you give me another chance?”
“No, you never had me or those five kids in your heart. Don’t bother looking for excuses; we are all doing very well now.”
“I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this once, give me a chance.”
“Impossible, you might as well give up on that idea.”
Luo Haotian quickly left the private restaurant, and only stopped after walking a good distance. Seeing no one had followed him, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and slowly started to smoke.

After being busy for two more days, Luo Qiao was finally going home. After lunch today, she didn’t rest. She hurriedly finished comparing data, filed the results, changed her clothes, and was ready to leave.
The colleagues in her group knew her two babies were having a birthday tomorrow, and they all sent their wishes.
Luo Qiao thanked them, hurriedly greeted Professor Guo, and left.
Seeing she still had time, she went to the department store. She had previously eyed two dolls, planning to buy them as birthday gifts for her daughters.
At the counter, she pointed at the displayed dolls, “Please help me get two dolls with different colored clothes.”
The salesperson, hearing she wanted two, smiled broadly. Kids loved these types of dolls, but generally, people hesitated to buy them for their children.
Efficiently, the salesperson took out two dolls with different outfits from under the counter and put them into special bags. She then took out two sets of clothes for the dolls, “Since you bought two, these two sets of clothes are free with the purchase.”
Luo Qiao smiled, “Thank you.”
Just as she was ready to leave after paying, she unexpectedly bumped into Cui Jianhua’s wife, Feng Nanshuang. Luo Qiao really disliked this person who believed herself superior for having had a son.
Wearing a smug face, she came over, “Oh, isn’t this the second sister-in-law? We meet again?”
Luo Qiao responded indifferently, “We have no relationship now, so please don’t claim relations frivolously.”
Feng Nanshuang’s face showed a brief moment of discomfort, but she quickly recovered, “Even if there’s no relationship, calling you sister-in-law isn’t wrong.”
Luo Qiao didn’t want to talk more with a person of poor character, “I have things to do, I must go now.”
Feng Nanshuang, looking smug, said, “I came to buy toys for my son.”
Just then, she noticed the two dolls Luo Qiao had in her hands, “Oh, you’re also buying toys, and let me tell you, with two girls, do you really need to buy such expensive toys?”
Luo Qiao retorted sarcastically, “Since your son is so precious, you better buy him a toy more expensive than mine. One doll costs thirty-eight yuan, and I bought two. According to what you just said, if you buy anything cheaper than this price, it wouldn’t be worthy of your son.”
With that, she turned and left, leaving Feng Nanshuang so incensed she didn’t know what to say. She spat in Luo Qiao’s direction as she walked away, then turned only to see the toy salespeople looking at her with odd expressions.
They had heard everything she said. The ones they introduced to her were all expensive, but since she had spoken her mind, she couldn’t lose face, so she grit her teeth and bought her son a three-wheeled child’s bike.
After leaving the department store, thinking about the salary she had just received plus the money she originally had saved up paying for that tricycle, she didn’t know how to explain it to her family.
When Luo Qiao got home, she washed her hands, made a quick phone call to Xu Shifan, gave a few instructions, and then hung up to find her daughters.
The children were doing well. When she got to the backyard, she saw Elder Rong and Rong Daniang protecting the two kids as they learned to walk in the yard. The weather was warmer now, and they were not dressed as bulky as before. They were moving quite briskly.
Perhaps sensing their mother’s presence, Luo Qiao was about to call when both daughters looked towards her and, simultaneously, two voices called out ‘Mommy’.
Luo Qiao squatted down, “Yanyan, Yueyue, come here to mommy.”
It had been just a few days, but the change was remarkable. The toddlers wobbled over, and Yueyue almost fell just before reaching Luo Qiao, who fortunately caught her in her arms quickly.
She kissed each daughter on the face, “You girls are doing great!”
