"However, Dad respects your opinion on this matter. If you feel you're used to the name Su Yueya, we can continue to call you Yueya, or Qiao Yueya. But if you don't want to change it at all, Dad won't force you, and that's fine too."

Even if her adoptive father was wrong, Su Yueya still grew up in the Su family without losing any limbs.

If Su Yueya has something on her mind, the Qiao family will fully respect, understand, and support her decision.

Su Yueya hadn't expected this.

She really didn't have anything to worry about.

"Dad, I'm willing to change my surname back to Qiao, but I'm used to calling myself Yueya. So from now on... I'll be called Qiao Yueya, okay?"

"Sure, of course!"

The whole family was overjoyed.

"That's great, sister! From now on, you'll be called Qiao Yueya. No one will dare to bully you at school anymore," Qiao Xinruo said.

It was the same advice she gave Su Yueya back at school.

It's not that they want to use their status as the dean's daughter to do anything; they just want to study hard and graduate as soon as possible.

Having this identity certainly saves a lot of trouble and allows me to focus more on my studies, so why not?

So the family decided to officially change Su Yueya's name to Qiao Yueya during the Chinese New Year and announce it to relatives and friends during the family reunion.

Soon, it was New Year's Eve.

After discussions between the two families, since this was Su Yueya's first year back in the Qiao family, they invited Lu Anguo and Bai Xiuhui to celebrate the New Year at the Qiao family home this year.

This was also the first time the two families had officially met.

With the new year comes a new look, and the Qiao family specially redecorated to entertain their guests. The place looked festive and full of New Year's spirit.

"Bang--"

"Here we are!"

"Dad, Mom!" Su Yueya hurriedly took the things from Lu Anguo and Bai Xiuhui's hands, and Lu Zhengjun naturally took them as well.

"In-laws!" As the hostess, Liu Yuying naturally greeted them. "You've come all here. We're all family. There's no need for you to bring anything. It's too formal!"

"The children's father is busy in the kitchen, please come in and sit down!"

"Oh, Dean Qiao is cooking himself? I heard from Zhengjun that his father-in-law is a very good cook. It seems we're in for a treat today!" Bai Xiuhui said with a smile, linking arms with Liu Yuying as soon as she entered the room.

"It's just a simple meal! Stop praising his cooking skills, you should be showering him with compliments! Honey—" Liu Yuying shouted towards the kitchen, "The in-laws are here!"

Su Yueya secretly told the Qiao family about it.

Her in-laws treat her very well. I hope that when the two families meet, they won't treat her like they treat Lu Zhengjun, showing no respect whatsoever.

Liu Yuying laughed when she heard this.

How could that be?

Lu Anguo's status is no less than that of Commander Liu. They are both elders, so naturally we can't treat him like we did Lu Zhengjun, showing him a show of power right away!

"Our in-laws are here!" Qiao Hanxue came out of the kitchen.

"I still have a bunch of ingredients waiting to be processed in my kitchen. Please make yourselves at home, eat and drink as you please. Just say what you need to say. I really need to go in and get busy, or we'll miss lunch!" Qiao Hanxue said.

"I'll go help," Bai Xiuhui said, standing up.

"No need! Mother-in-law, you just sit and eat some melon seeds. The younger generation is here to help, there's no need for us!" Liu Yuying pressed her down to sit down again.

"Alright then." Bai Xiuhui didn't insist.

Su Yueya was stunned. She never expected her parents to be so warm and welcoming to her in-laws, far exceeding her expectations.

Even Qiao Shouyan and Qiao Gaoyang held Lu Anguo in high esteem.

Qiao Xinruo almost couldn't help but laugh when she saw her sister's expression.

"Sister, what are you doing? Do you think Second Brother is still that annoying guy who doesn't give face to anyone?"

Su Yueya nodded; that was indeed what she thought, after all, that was Qiao Gaoyang's personality.

"Don't worry, it won't happen. Uncle Lu is a division commander, and my two older brothers are both in the military. If they run into a leader, would they still dare to act all high and mighty? They'd probably just want to get a scolding," Qiao Xinruo joked.

"Commander?" Su Yueya looked at Lu Zhengjun with a puzzled expression.

Lu Zhengjun then nodded.

“Yes, my dad is also in the military, at the same rank as your mom, both are division commanders,” Lu Zhengjun explained.

Su Yueya was surprised; she had never known this before!

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Everyone had kept it from her before, and she had assumed that Lu Anguo was the stepfather Bai Xiuhui had found for Lu Zhengjun. She hadn't thought much of it at all...

"Sister, you don't even know what your husband's family does?" Qiao Xinruo was shocked.

Who gets married so carelessly?

She's really seen something new today.

Su Yueya: "..."

That's exactly what I mean by being completely confused!

“Great!” Qiao Xinruo gave Su Yueya a thumbs up, then pointed the thumbs up at Lu Zhengjun. “You’re great too! You two are really great!”

Qiao Xinru shook her head repeatedly.

"Crescent Moon, I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just that I really couldn't tell you before, and later, I didn't have the chance to tell you... Please don't be angry with me!" Lu Zhengjun said awkwardly.

Su Yueya wasn't angry, after all, she knew perfectly well what their past relationship was like.

“I’m not angry,” Su Yueya said, finding it amusing. “Do you think I have such a bad temper? Why would I get angry so easily during the New Year?”

Lu Zhengjun was relieved; his wife was truly understanding!

Qiao Xinruo continued to shake her head; she simply couldn't bear to look.

"Big brother, second brother, let's go help in the kitchen. There's no place for us here," she said sourly.
