Chapter 176 We're not married yet, so it's not really suitable for us to live together.
Chu Rou was reluctant to see Xu Lan leave, but from Xu Lan's perspective, becoming a special police officer was indeed a better choice.
“Xu Lan, I think Feng Fei is right. You should try to become a special police officer. It would be best if you could get in, but if you can’t, you can come back to me anytime.”
“Sister Chu Rou,” Xu Lan’s eyes stung with tears, “I don’t want to leave you, and there are always people who want to harm you. You can’t be without someone by your side.”
Chu Rou pinched Xu Lan's cheek. "Silly girl, I don't lack people around me. If you become a special police officer, you can arrest all the bad guys around me. Then I'll be benefiting from your success."
Xu Lan's heart wavered. If she had a different boss, she would definitely leave without hesitation. But Sister Chu Rou was too good to her. She always took good care of her and would give her a big red envelope every month.
Although it was called a bonus, she knew in her heart that it was a special subsidy given to her by Sister Chu Rou, who knew that her family was not well-off.
"Sister Chu Rou, do you really have someone protecting you?" Xu Lan asked again to confirm.
“Really, really, Xu Lan, you should become a special police officer. Our Qi family has many bodyguards who will protect my sister.” Qi Lin interjected from the side.
"Sister?" Xu Lan and Feng Fei looked at the two sisters with suspicion at the same time.
Qi Lin nodded, "She is my older sister. From now on, she will be the eldest daughter of the Qi family, and I will be the second daughter of the Qi family."
Chu Rou:......
She won't change her surname again, will she? Qi Rou sounds strange; she still prefers the name Chu Rou.
"Alright, let's settle it like this. I'm leaving now," Chu Rou said, looking at Feng Fei. "Feng Fei, Xu Lan will be in your care from now on."
Feng Fei nodded. "Absolutely."
...
Chu Rou and Qi Lin left the hospital building, where several luxury cars were parked.
Seeing the two of them come out, Qi Hang rolled down the passenger window and called out to them, "Qi Lin, over here!"
Qi Lin helped Chu Rou walk over and opened the back door of the car.
Chu Rou didn't dare to move too much, afraid of reopening her wound. She slowly sat down, and Qi Lin helped her close the door before running to the other side and getting into the car.
Qi Feiyao and Qi Wende, sitting in the car behind, clearly saw Qi Lin's actions.
Qi Feiyao exclaimed, "I feel like Linlin has suddenly grown up and can take care of people now."
Qi Wende felt the same way. Qi Lin used to only know how to eat, drink, and have fun. He thought that a girl didn't need to know too much. With him and Qi Hang around, he could ensure her lifelong peace and happiness.
After getting to know Chu Rou, he realized how vast the gap was between his two daughters, and he began to doubt the validity of his initial thoughts.
Fortunately, Qi Lin listens to Chu Rou. In the past few months, Qi Lin has changed a lot. She no longer wears strange clothes or heavy makeup, and she has also become more motivated to study.
He overheard Chu Rou telling Qi Lin to take the postgraduate entrance exam, and Qi Lin actually agreed.
Qi Wende nodded with satisfaction, "Qi Lin has met a good older sister."
After returning to the Qi family and seeing the luxury of the Mo family's old mansion, Chu Rou had become immune to it.
The Qi family's luxury rivals that of the Mo family, Chu Rou thought to herself, realizing she had officially entered the circle of wealthy families in City B.
Qi Feiyao and Qi Lin helped Chu Rou upstairs to a bedroom.
Chu Rou looked around the room. It was called a guest room, but it was quite large, fully furnished, and the curtains and bedding were a delicate pinkish-purple.
"Rou Rou, are you satisfied with this room? Just tell Auntie if you need anything."
"Very satisfied, thank you Aunt Qi!"
Qi Lin opened the wardrobe, which was empty. She frowned. "Mom, my sister has no clothes to wear."
Qi Feiyao patted her forehead, "I forgot about that. I'll call the store right now and ask them to send over some new clothes."
Qi Lin reminded her, "Mom, my sister's bust size is quite large. Should we measure her size first?"
Chu Rou sighed, "Qi Lin says everything!"
She stopped Qi Feiyao from going to find a ruler and directly told her her clothing size.
Qi Feiyao went to make a phone call, and soon she returned with a bag. "Rou Rou, I was so busy crying when I went to the hospital today that I forgot about the important matter."
Chu Rou noticed that the bag in her hand looked familiar; it seemed to be something her father had given her yesterday.
Sure enough, Qi Feiyao stuffed the bag into Chu Rou's arms, "Just accept this house and car, they won't cost much."
They don't even care about tens of millions; these wealthy families are truly extravagant!
Chu Rou stopped refusing and accepted it as part of her dowry prepared by her father. She smiled and said, "Then I won't beat around the bush and will accept it directly. Thank you, Aunt Qi!"
"No need to say thank you to family members."
Chu Rou generously accepted the gifts, which made Qi Feiyao feel much more at ease.
Qi Feiyao has very few friends. She doesn't get along with those wealthy wives. Those wives have to go through a lot of trouble to get to the bottom of things. It's exhausting and stressful to be around them.
Gradually, she distanced herself from that circle, spending her days at home tending to flowers, watching TV dramas, and occasionally going out shopping and getting beauty treatments, living a rather comfortable life.
She really enjoyed chatting with Chu Rou. Chu Rou spoke directly, so she didn't have to guess what she was talking about. She was also very witty and humorous, and she could always make her laugh.
Time flies when the three women are together.
The clothes had all been delivered, and Qi Feiyao had the maid hang them up. Underwear and pajamas were also prepared and neatly arranged in the wardrobe.
Qi Feiyao was worried that it would be inconvenient for Chu Rou to go downstairs, so she had lunch delivered to her room.
After lunch, Chu Rou prepared to take a nap, and the room finally became completely quiet.
She took out her phone, took photos of the property certificate and car keys, and sent them to Mo Chi.
[Mo Bao, look! This is a gift from my dad and Aunt Qi. Our assets have increased by tens of millions again.]
Mo Chi: [Great! Now we can take advantage of both sides!]
Upon seeing Mo Chi's reply, Chu Rou laughed out loud; Mo Chi's calligraphy was becoming more and more to her liking.
Chu Rou: [There's one more thing I forgot to tell you...]
Mo Chi: [? What is it?]
Chu Rou: [I'm discharged from the hospital!]
Just as Chu Rou sent the message, Mo Chi made a video call.
Seeing that Chu Rou was in unfamiliar surroundings, Mo Chi frowned and asked with a grim face, "Where are you? How did you get discharged from the hospital?"
Feeling guilty, Chu Rou chuckled, "Mo Bao, don't be angry. I have someone taking care of me now, and I have a doctor at home, so I'm very safe."
Mo Chi pressed the bridge of his nose and asked helplessly, "Don't tell me you're in the Qi family now!"
"Mo Bao, how did you know? You're so smart!" Chu Rou feigned surprise.
Mo Chi sneered, "I'll pick you up after get off work tonight and take you back to the Mo family's old mansion. There are servants there to take care of you, and we can also hire a doctor."
Chu Rou looked resentful. "Then why didn't you pick me up from the hospital sooner and take me to live in the old house?"
"Isn't it because my mom is taking care of my dad in the hospital, and I'm worried that the maids at home won't take good care of you?"
"Oh!" Chu Rou blinked. "There's something else. My dad's point is that we're not married yet, so it's not really suitable for us to live together."
