At 5 p.m., Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan arrived at the Luo family compound.
It's not that they're in a hurry, it's just that Duan Ye will be going back to work tomorrow, so the issues that need to be resolved need to be resolved as soon as possible.
As soon as they arrived at the Luo family's house, the nanny welcomed them inside.
"Miss, you're finally back! Madam has been waiting for you for a long time."
Luo Qingyuan led Duan Ye inside, asking as she went, "How's my mom's been lately?"
"Oh dear, Madam has been having a poor appetite lately and has lost a lot of weight. The eldest young master and the master are busy with business outside every day and usually don't return until late at night. Because of those two, Madam has been quite angry lately and her temper has become very volatile. Miss, please be careful."
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingyuan couldn't help but sigh. Her mother's temper had never been good, and now everyone was probably living on thin ice. She wondered if her sister-in-law had been implicated.
Just as Luo Qingyuan thought of this, the nanny seemed to know what she was thinking and said softly, "The young mistress hasn't been in a good mood lately. She hasn't left the house for several days and has been keeping the young lady entertained in the yard."
Luo Qingyuan nodded: "I'll go see my sister-in-law later."
"Then the young mistress will probably be very happy."
"By the way, Miss, the young master and master haven't returned yet. Shall we wait a little longer?"
Just as Luo Qingyuan was about to speak, she looked up and saw the elegant and dignified Ms. Zhao standing at the door, looking at them expressionlessly.
Luo Qingyuan said helplessly, "It's too late."
The nanny looked up, then quickly lowered her head, not daring to say another word.
Luo Qingyuan: "You can go down now."
The nanny immediately felt relieved, quickly responded, and turned to leave.
Upon seeing this, Duan Ye frowned slightly and subconsciously pulled Luo Qingyuan behind him.
After several encounters, he also realized that Ms. Zhao was not so easy to deal with.
Seeing Duan Ye's little gesture, Zhao Ruoxi smiled inexplicably: "What? Afraid I'll eat your wife?"
Duan Ye calmly replied, "If it were someone else, I wouldn't be worried, but if it's you, then it's indeed necessary to be concerned."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruoxi's face immediately turned cold: "Miss Luo, you've really found a husband who knows how to talk."
Luo Qingyuan said helplessly, "Mom, do you have to be so sarcastic?"
"Didn't you tell us to come back? If you don't want to see us, we'll leave. As for Uncle's matter, we can ask Brother and Dad."
Zhao Ruoxi: "Luo Qingyuan, you've really grown up. I've raised you for so many years, and if I say one thing to you, you can talk back ten times. What kind of daughter is like you?"
Just as Duan Ye was about to speak, Luo Qingyuan stopped him.
"Alright, Mom, do you want to talk or not?"
So Zhao Ruoxi snorted coldly, turned around and went into her house.
Duan Ye frowned: "Let's go. I don't think your mother really wants to talk. We can go directly to your two uncles."
Luo Qingyuan: "Since we're already here, let's see what she has to say. Aye, go to my room and wait for me."
Duan Ye sighed: "I'll stay with you."
He was worried that Ms. Zhao might try to harm Luo Qingyuan again if things didn't go well.
Luo Qingyuan: "She's my mother, don't worry, nothing will happen."
Duan Ye was still unwilling, so Luo Qingyuan chuckled and kissed him on the cheek: "Okay, be good. My mom wouldn't dare hit me. Aren't you here? If I get bullied, won't you stand up for me?"
Duan Ye's mood improved a bit: "Alright then, come back soon."
Luo Qingyuan nodded, and Duan Ye then walked directly towards the back courtyard.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Qingyuan called the nanny Xiaofang first: "Go and prepare more food for the young master. Don't wait for me. Send it over as soon as it's ready. Also, prepare some rose tea with less sugar and send it over as well."
Xiao Fang chuckled to herself before teasingly saying, "Miss, are you treating your son-in-law like a child? You have to give him special instructions for such a small thing?"
After getting together with Duan Ye, Luo Qingyuan's temper did improve a lot, and everyone in her family dared to joke with her like that.
This time, Luo Qingyuan merely glanced at her indifferently: "Aren't you going yet?"
Xiaofang: "Yes, yes, I'll go right away, Miss, don't worry."
After Xiao Fang left, Luo Qingyuan resignedly went inside.
Ms. Zhao had already emptied the house, so now the large living room is empty except for her and Zhao Ruoxi.
Neither she nor Ms. Zhao seemed willing to back down when it came to Duan Ye's matter.
Luo Qingyuan walked over and sat opposite Ms. Zhao: "Mom, if it's the same old story, I advise you to give up on it."
"I will not divorce Duan Ye."
Zhao Ruoxi looked at her with disappointment for several times before slowly saying, "You've been quite well-behaved all these years. It's probably because your mother was too strict with you when you were little that you've developed such a strong rebellious streak."
"Qingyuan, do you really know what love is?"
"Do you know that a relationship between people from unequal social classes will eventually fall apart?"
"Although this sounds corny, right now you're faced with a choice between your mother and Duan Ye, and you can only have one."
Luo Qingyuan's lips twitched slightly: "Mom, you know perfectly well that I can't do it."
Ms. Zhao: "Qingyuan, your two uncles are suspected of money laundering, and I am the legal representative of that company. Once the evidence is conclusive, your mother will not be able to escape either."
“The Luo family is large and powerful, and it’s inevitable that they will make a mistake. But if Mom really goes to jail, she will have a criminal record. You know the laws of China better than anyone else.”
