One week later.

Su Qiao started working.

But the work nowadays is all incredibly easy.

Yao Qing could only look on with envy.

Su Qiao quickly finished her part and rushed home early.

For now, the child can only be left with Lu Xiangze.

She wanted to go home early so she could take her child back and help her bond with her cousin.

As soon as Su Qiao left, many people behind her began to whisper among themselves.

"Su, the educated youth, has been getting cocky lately, hasn't he?"

"Who can argue with that? He was such a high-ranking official, and now his wife lives in his house. She even saved his child."

"No wonder she was so calm before, not listening to a word of the gossip in the team. So that's what she was waiting for."

"People from the city are really something else; who can outwit her?"

"No, is that Lu Xiaomei? What is she doing with Su Zhiqing?"

"Who cares, the work isn't finished yet."

Su Qiao noticed that someone was following her.

Turning around abruptly, I saw Lu Xiaomei following behind me.

They were very close.

Su Qiao instinctively dodged to the side.

Lu Xiaomei's original plan fell through.

"Hello, Su Zhiqing."

"Hello, you go ahead, I'll walk slowly."

Su Qiao thought her cold face would make Lu Xiaomei walk away.

Surprisingly, she's quite tolerant.

They stopped too. "Why don't we walk together?"

"Not on the way."

"It's alright, I'll walk with you for a while."

Su Qiao had a very bad impression of Lu Xiaomei; previously, she hadn't considered Lu Xiangze as one of her own.

Now that she's decided she wants to be in a relationship with him, she's kept his past experiences in mind.

Back then, Lu's mother was really too much.

Perhaps because she was a girl, Lu Xiaomei received only average treatment.

But Lu Xiangze is not even as good as her.

Not to mention, when Lu Xiangze was being beaten, she and Lu's younger brother were actually laughing at him.

They didn't take Lu Xiangze seriously at all.

He was just a disposable cash cow for his family.

Knowing he has no money, they can destroy him and abandon him without a second thought.

Su Qiao found this kind of person utterly repulsive.

Lu Xiaomei, however, did not think she had done anything wrong.

I don't know what Su Qiao dislikes about her.

Pretending to know nothing, she continued to greet people with a smile.

Su Qiao refused again.

Lu Xiaomei had no choice but to go home first.

She went to Lu Xiangze's house and took the child back.

Then, an uninvited guest appeared at the door.

Lu Xiaomei actually took a shortcut to the courtyard and was talking to Ye Sulan.

Su Qiao originally wanted to hide to the side and see the reaction.

But Ye Sulan saw it at a glance.

It's because she's carrying Nian Nian's vision tracking device.

Lu Xiaomei greeted her with delight.

She hoped Su Qiao would invite her over as a guest.

Even if she can't finish it today, she can come back tomorrow.

She refused to believe that she couldn't do what Su Qiao could do.

Lu Xiaomei greeted Niannian with a smile and reached out to tease the child.

"What an adorable child! How could you bear to hide him from us?"

The implication was that Su Qiao was stingy.

They also don't like taking their children out.

Before Su Qiao could speak, Ye Sulan's face turned cold. She had spoken to Su Qiao with a friendly tone because she thought he was her friend.

I never expected they were here to compete with her for the baby.

That's impossible!

She hadn't even become a familiar face to the baby yet, and this person had already come up to her.

Who is this person?

"Comrade, we have other matters to attend to right now, please leave first."

Lu Xiaomei was stunned. Wasn't this officer's wife just chatting away peacefully? Why did she suddenly change her expression?

She had no idea that her flattery had backfired.

Su Qiao carried the child inside.

The door wasn't closed, and Lu Xiaomei, steeling herself, tried to go in, but was stopped by the guards.

"Please leave!"

Lu Xiaomei glared at him and left indignantly.

After Su Qiao went inside, she explained the situation to Ye Sulan.

Ye Sulan didn't mind.

A one-month-old baby shouldn't be exposed to too much wind.

Su Qiao did nothing wrong; she's not such an unreasonable person.

The two sisters were laughing.

"Sister Su!"

There's only one person in the team who calls him that.

Su Qiao went to the door to greet them and saw Lu Xiang coming over with two people.

Her lips couldn't help but curl upwards.

After several days of travel, Su Jin and Xu Mingyue finally arrived at Su Qiao's place.

Weary from their journey.

She quickly invited the two elderly people into the house.

Isn't that a coincidence?

The whole family ran into each other.

Ye Sulan was also stunned.

"dad?"

Ye Sulan took a few steps forward and carefully examined it.

Su Jin looked completely unfamiliar.

Ye Sulan then noticed something different.

Su Jin was not wearing glasses.

He quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I think I've mistaken you for someone else."

Xu Mingyue's gaze fell on Ye Sulan.

She glanced at her husband beside her.

Yes, those eyes are so similar.

"Tell me! What happened?" Xu Mingyue pinched Su Jin.

"I don't know either?"

Su Jin just felt that he looked familiar.

Ye Sulan also knew that her words had been misunderstood.

“You look a lot like my father, except he wears glasses.”

Su Jin was instantly delighted, realizing that possibility.

"Really?"

Xu Mingyue realized that this could be the child of her husband's long-lost brother.

Su Jin pressed for more questions.

Where is your father now? How is his health? How is he doing?

A barrage of questions nearly left Ye Sulan speechless.

"My dad...has been missing for several years..."

The family sat down.

Su Jin also confessed that she had lost a younger brother.

Identical twins tend to look more alike.

His face is the result of a paternity test.

Ye Sulan was starting to believe him, especially after noticing that he didn't have the scar on his left hand.

This confirms it even more.

Ye Sulan was surprised that the two families had such a connection, and she was very happy.

The group chatted happily.

Xu Mingyue had been somewhat absent-minded, but when she found the right moment, she finally asked the question she had been holding back for a long time.

"Qiaoqiao, who is the child you're holding?"

Su Qiao could tell from Xu Mingyue's eyes that she had misunderstood.

"Mom, this is Sister Lan's child."

Su Qiao has been shouting like this for the past few days, and now she feels even less burdened by it.

Ye Sulan nodded and began to recount the whole story.

I am extremely grateful to Su Qiao.

I finally feel much more at ease every year.

Perhaps this family can be trusted?

If all else fails, I can always come back to find my aunt later.

The two are now related.

When Xu Mingyue saw such a cute child, she couldn't help but want to hug him.

This time, Nian Nian did not resist.

Ye Sulan was eager to try.

His hand unconsciously reached out, then he pulled it back.

Xu Mingyue couldn't stand seeing the younger generation act like this.

He placed Niannian directly into her arms.

Last time, she cried her heart out every year.

This time, her small body was a little stiff.

But at least he didn't cry.

His expression, however, was one of utter defiance.

His entire facial expression was completely out of control.

This amused Su Qiao immensely.

This child...

Su Jin couldn't help but tease him, not expecting that her younger brother's daughter had already given birth.

His two younger children are still nowhere to be seen.

No, Su Qiao has found a boyfriend.

Thinking about it this way, Su Jin looked around, trying to find some clues.

Where is that person?
