On the night of her wedding, the husband left for a mission as a soldier. For three years, Su Yueya dutifully took care of her mother-in-law. Just as she finally waited for her husband to be promot...
She felt it was time to have a serious talk with the Qiao family about this matter.
She was already a little distressed that Lu Zhengjun kept giving her the cold shoulder, but she thought they would accept it soon. She thought that as time went on, they would see Lu Zhengjun's good qualities and things would naturally get better.
But my in-laws are elders after all, and it's not easy to get them to give me the cold shoulder...
Su Yueya wouldn't even dare to think about it, not even once.
Qiao Xinruo brought out a book, and Liu Yuying brought out some fruit. They then discovered that Lu Zhengjun was holding Su Yueya's hand, and the two were whispering in each other's ears!
Qiao Xinruo: "..."
I knew this person was cunning!
Liu Yuying: "..."
It seems the eldest daughter really likes Lu Zhengjun.
"Sister, the book has been found!" Qiao Xinruo started making her presence known again.
Liu Yuying was quite polite to Lu Zhengjun, offering him fruit and chatting with him about things in the army.
Until the other three men from the Qiao family returned.
The group sat down together for a meal again, mainly to celebrate the end of Su Yueya's final exams.
"Come on, let's celebrate Yueya getting first place in her final exams today!" Qiao Hanxue said. He had gone to check on her and found that his eldest daughter had achieved excellent results, scoring significantly higher than the second-place student.
Qiao Hanxue was a cultured man, and his two daughters inherited his talent in medicine, which made him very happy.
“Yes, congratulations, sister!” Qiao Xinruo said.
Thinking of the two incidents that happened at school today, both involving Su Yueya being bullied, Qiao Xinruo was furious and it was impossible for her not to report them.
"Dad, you have to stand up for my sister! I wonder if the head of the teaching department and the counselor have reported this to you yet? This isn't the first time my sister has been bullied at school!" Qiao Xinruo said angrily.
Su Yueya quickly tugged at Qiao Xinruo's sleeve.
She had reminded him several times not to talk about these things. Anyway, it had all been resolved and she hadn't been hurt. It was over and done with. Why bring it up and upset her father?
"What? Someone at school is bullying Yueya?" Qiao Gaoyang was the first to react, even more so than Qiao Hanxue. "Dad, don't worry, if you can't come in person, let me and my older brother come!"
Liu Yuying immediately glared at him and criticized, "Qiao Gaoyang, what are you trying to do? School matters have their own ways of being resolved. Don't try to apply the military's methods to this; it's just tarnishing the military's reputation!"
Qiao Gaoyang was scolded and then behaved himself.
"What happened? Tell me in detail," Qiao Hanxue asked.
Lu Zhengjun didn't know either.
Qiao Xinruo then recounted the two events that had occurred during the day, emphasizing how innocent Su Yueya was and how despicable Ma Xiaoxiao was.
"Dad, keeping students like this at school is just a disgrace to Wenxiu Medical College!" Qiao Xinruo said indignantly.
Students can compete fairly, but spreading rumors and slander is a despicable tactic.
If you spend all your time studying these useless things, how can you possibly concentrate on your studies?
"That's really going too far!" Qiao Hanxue was so angry he almost threw down his chopsticks, saying he would definitely deal with it strictly according to school rules and regulations!
When Lu Zhengjun heard the name Ma Xiaoxiao, it sounded familiar, so she mentioned that Ma Xiaoxiao had deliberately given Su Yueya the wrong assessment content before.
The Qiao family was furious when they heard this!
"Hey, this person is really interesting. She's framed our Crescent Moon Sect time and time again. Is there something wrong with her brain?" Qiao Gaoyang started cursing again.
He's a firecracker, he'll explode at the slightest provocation.
“No wonder,” Qiao Xinruo said sarcastically. “I noticed that girl was acting strange today. She kept picking on my sister. I guess she’s just jealous that my sister gets better grades than her.”
As a fellow prodigy, Qiao Xinruo had also experienced her fair share of such underhanded malice when she was in school.
"Sis, you can't talk to someone like that."
“The more you pay attention to them, the more enthusiastic they become, but…” Qiao Xinruo glanced at her father and said with a smile, “She probably won’t have a chance to cause you any more trouble in the future.”
Instead of learning from being kicked out of the self-study class, they continued to cause trouble.
It's obvious that when the next semester starts, Ma Xiaoxiao won't be able to stay at Wenxiu Medical College.
After finishing her story about school, Su Yueya had almost finished eating. She put down her chopsticks and gave Lu Zhengjun a meaningful look before speaking.
"Well, it's almost Chinese New Year."
"Mom and Dad, brother and sister, I want to discuss something with you," Su Yueya said seriously.
This was the first time she had taken the initiative to speak up about discussing something, and the whole family looked at her intently, listening to what she had to say.
“Well… I didn’t have any family before, but now I have you all, as well as Zhengjun, and my parents-in-law. They are all very good people and have always been very kind to me. So I was thinking… shouldn’t our two families sit down and have a reunion dinner together during the New Year?”
After speaking, Su Yueya looked at the Qiao family with expectant eyes.
Seeing her bright, expectant eyes, the two brothers, Qiao Xinruo and Qiao Shouyan, immediately lowered their heads.
This is not a matter for them to decide.
To be honest, Qiao Hanxue hasn't fully accepted Lu Zhengjun yet; deep down, he still views this son-in-law with a "testing" mentality.
Liu Yuying was different. As a mother, she could better understand Su Yueya's feelings. At the same time, she was also serving in the military, so it was easy for her to find out about Lu Zhengjun's situation.
Therefore, she also knew something about Lu Zhengjun's family.
Since Su Yueya herself has decided to continue living her life, her parents only hope for the best for their child and would never try to sabotage it.
"Silly child, what are you saying! During the New Year, it's a lively time, and both families will definitely sit down and eat together. Do you really need to bring that up?" Liu Yuying smiled and settled the matter.
Naturally, no one else could refute Liu Yuying's decision.
"Okay, Mom, we'll pick a time then!" Su Yueya said happily, not expecting it to be settled so easily.
She secretly gave Lu Zhengjun a look, unaware that her little gesture had been noticed by the Qiao family.
The three siblings all knew the truth, so it seemed impossible for them not to acknowledge this brother-in-law/sister-in-law.
There was nothing he could do; after all, Lu Zhengjun had Su Yueya backing him up.
"My parents' schedule is flexible; we'll see what you think then," Lu Zhengjun said, giving Liu Yuying and Qiao Hanxue ample face.
Qiao Hanxue also had something to say.
"There's something else I'd like to do during the New Year holiday when there are lots of people, but this... I'll have to see what you think, Crescent Moon."
"Dad, what's wrong?" Su Yueya asked, puzzled.
Why should we depend on her opinion?
“Crescent Moon, we’ve already recognized you as part of the Qiao family. This Su surname is your adoptive father’s surname. But you’re not actually a member of the Su family, and you’ve lost contact with them. So I was thinking, shouldn’t you change your surname back to Qiao?”
