Gu Hanting originally planned to go straight home that night, but Qiao Jie stopped him.

“You’ve come all this way to the city, so you should at least show the kids around. You’ve traveled all over the country before, but the kids haven’t seen much of the world yet.”

"Little girl, take your older and younger brothers out for a walk later. Your grandpa and I will just stay home and rest."

Jiang Qiao quickly replied, "Alright, you two should rest well at home. Big brother, little brother, let's go!"

Just as she reached the door, she unexpectedly ran into Jiang Mei and her group. Besides the Jiang family siblings, there was also a man she didn't recognize.

She was quite tall, fair-skinned, and reasonably good-looking. No matter how she looked at it, Jiang Mei was someone she had chosen based on Ning Hao's appearance. However, this man was no match for Ning Hao; they were worlds apart.

In her mind, Ning Hao was pleasing to the eye, but the man in front of her, no matter how she looked at him, gave her a sleazy feeling.

This was the first time Jiang He and his group had seen Jiang Qiao since their last outburst. Taking advantage of their numbers, Jiang He scoffed disdainfully, "You brat, you're not dead yet—"

All the people in front of him were theirs. Although Gu Zhixuan did not recognize Jiang He and the others, his sister had told him about her past experiences. Based on this connection, he could roughly guess whose family these people belonged to.

The young boy was indignant, glaring angrily, "Where did this stray dog ​​come from, barking here?"

Ever since he learned that his biological father was not a bad person, Gu Zhixuan felt more proud and confident than ever before.

Jiang He glared back and said, "Who are you insulting?"

Gu Zhixuan snorted, "You know it in your heart."

Jiang He had always held a grudge against Jiang Qiao. Last time, because of that brat, he was arrested, and he hadn't gotten his revenge yet.

Gu Zhihong held Jiang Qiao's hand tightly. Although the little guy was a little scared, he puffed out his little chest and glared angrily at the person who was provoking them.

Jiang Qiao sneered, "Jiang He, what's wrong? You haven't had enough of that place? You want to go back? Fine, I can grant your wish. If you're not happy, come on—"

Jiang Qiao wasn't afraid of the other party at all. She suffered a loss last time because the other party did it on purpose. Did the other party really think she was easy to bully?

"you--"

In short, he blocked the river, leaving her angry but unsure how to refute him.

Jiang Mei smiled and grabbed her younger brother, "Jiang Qiao, don't take it personally with Jiang He. We're all surnamed Jiang, we're all family."

Jiang Qiao snorted, "Jiang Mei, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. We're from two different families. I'm Grandpa Qiao's granddaughter. Remember that. Let's go—"

Jiang Mei's boyfriend watched Jiang Qiao and the others walk away, and was filled with curiosity. Who was that little girl?

Who is she?

Jiang Mei sighed, "The child my grandma picked up before, caused all sorts of trouble when she saw our family coming. So, she found another home and left. Let's go inside quickly."

Gu Zhixuan and Gu Zhenghong, who were taken away by Jiang Qiao, were also quite curious about these members of the Jiang family.

“They don’t look like good people at all. They have no manners whatsoever. You’ve already left their house, why are they still treating you like this? Sister, from now on, my brother and I will protect you.”

Jiang Qiao felt comforted by her cousin's words.

Smiling, she patted Gu Zhenghong's head and said, "It's alright, they can't hurt my sister. They'll just give her a piece of their mind. Don't let irrelevant people affect our mood. Come on, I'll take you to the department store."

Jiang Qiao spent a long afternoon shopping with the two brothers. Jiang Qiao mainly bought things for Gu Zhixuan and Gu Zhixuan, such as school supplies and books, which are not available in the countryside.

After Gu Hanting and his group stayed there for one night, they left early the next morning with their belongings. They had originally wanted the old man and his family to stay another day, but the people in the courtyard kept asking about them.

You know, Qiao Jie is an old man living alone, and over the years, I haven't seen any relatives come to visit. As for Jiang Qiao, it goes without saying that the Qiao family has sent two groups of people over the past few days, and everyone is quite curious about it.

In order not to cause trouble for his granddaughter and Qiao Jie, Gu Hanting could not stay.

Qiao Jie's public pronouncements focused solely on patients coming to his door; he revealed nothing else.

Jiang Qiao had prepared everything she needed for the journey and discussed the departure time with the old man when the Jiang family suddenly started making a fuss.

Jiang Qiao and the others lived in the front yard, so they really didn't know what was going on in the back yard, but they couldn't stop people from talking about it.

"Grandpa, Jiang Qiao, a fight has broken out in the backyard. You should go and see what's going on."

Li Meilan was someone who loved watching a good show and was somewhat prone to creating chaos. She not only notified Jiang Qiao and his group, but also everyone in the front yard who was at home. As a result, everyone rushed to the back yard, afraid that they would miss the excitement if they arrived late.

Li Meilan didn't say who had the accident, but Jiang Qiao and the old man were talking about it as they walked.

"Could it be that Chunming and the others got into a fight, and someone came looking for them?"

Before Jiang Qiao could answer, Chunming and the others ran over, "Qiao'er, Qiao'er, the Jiang family is fighting! You have to go and see!"

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Qiao stopped in her tracks at this moment, and Qiao Jie also stopped going over. Since someone already knew, they might as well listen.

Zhao Jianjun said gloatingly, "Jiang Mei seduced someone else's fiancé. You tell me, she's quite capable. Now look what's happened. Both families have started fighting. The Jiang family usually seems pretty tough, but they've finally met their match today."

Du Chunming felt relieved. They bullied Qiao'er back then, and that Wang Dahua was senile. Now she's in trouble, isn't she?

Jiang Qiao was stunned. "That guy has a fiancée? No way! He even came all the way here, how could he do something like this?"

Du Chunming and Zhao Jianjun had been watching the play for a long time, so they knew quite a bit about it.

"Jiang Mei said that the man doesn't like his fiancée at all. He said it was arranged by their parents, but he himself is not happy about it. Who knows? Anyway, the woman's family came to our door. I think this is a big question mark."

The man still hasn't dared to show his face, but that woman is really something; her cursing sounds like singing, she's just as good as the Jiang family.

Qiao Jie frowned. "Can't we sit down and talk things over properly? What's the point of fighting like this? Girl, let's go take a look."

Jiang Qiao smiled and shook her head. "Grandpa, let's not go. We're both old and young, and if we offend you, it would be a loss. I won't be able to do anything there anyway. Let's go home and wait for news."

"Do you think Jiang He and Jiang Hai are pushovers? They even beat me up so badly I ended up in the hospital. Our presence wouldn't make a difference."

It wasn't that she was heartless; she genuinely didn't want to get involved with the Jiang family.

But Qiao Jie didn't think so. No matter what, they all lived in the same courtyard and were neighbors. Regardless of who was right or wrong, they shouldn't let the other party make such a fuss.
