Chapter 173: Chapter 173: I Will Be Back Soon

“Qin Lan, I can promise you on the rest of the terms, but for the first one, don’t you dare to even think about it!” Grandpa slammed the table and said strictly. He returned to his room right after.

“Qin Lan, you had better stop bullying people; if the outsiders hear about it, you and that little girl will be the ones who are embarrassed!” The second aunt said in a threatening and aggressive manner.

“Okay! I will give you all a way out, but about my daughter getting into J University, I guess I will need to trouble you! Oh ya, she has to be in the same major as Ye Qiao!” Qin Lan said arrogantly. After that, she carried her bag and headed out.

“What a b*tch!” The oldest aunt stomped and cursed with anger after Qin Lan left.

“How can such a woman exist?! Ye Shengxun, were you blind back then?!”

“I remember that Qin Lan was pregnant before marrying her; she was probably using our little brother to advance her own causes!”

“What a sin!” The oldest aunt sat down and smacked the table.

“Don’t worry... as long as we work together, we will be able to chase them out of the house! It’s just a matter of time now!”

“Aunties, don’t be mad. It would help if you guys comforted grandpa. He is probably in a bad mood; he had high blood pressure when he got mad at Qin Lan the previous time! I will go to the kitchen to check if dinner is almost done!” Ye Qiao said considerately and went out after.

Undoubtedly, Ye Qiao’s thoughtfulness and understanding tugged their heartstrings.

Meanwhile, Ye Shengxun stood in the corridor alone, smoking.

“You should quit! Else, you will be affected by her sooner or later.” Ye Qiao looked at Ye Shengxun’s back and said calmly.

“Qiao Qiao, I will quit the job! Today... it’s all my karma! You were right; we have to believe in ‘karma’.” Ye Shengxun looked at her and said seriously.

Ye Qiao said nothing and left.

“Lu Xiaogun, if mummy is not wrong, Qin Lan had a paramour in her previous life, right? Also, who is Ye Zhenzhen’s biological father? Do you know?” At night, Ye Qiao did not go anywhere but returned to her room and had been thinking about how to deal with Qin Lan.

“Madan Qin and grandpa are not as sweet as they look. Madam Qin secretly has a lot...” Lu Xiaogun spoke but suddenly stopped midsentence when it became inappropriate.

“Even if you don’t say it, mummy knows what it means! This Qin Lan is such a flirt! Oh ya, Xiaogun, what about Ye Zhenzhen’s biological father?” Ye Qiao’s phone rang before she could finish asking.

She teared up after hearing the sound she had been missing for the past few months.

“Brother Xiao!” She shouted excitedly. “Why didn’t you call me for so long?!”

Although she knew that he was safe and sound, from November 20th last year till August 20th today, a whole 9 months, he did not contact her at all!

The little girl’s sad complaint was heard. Lu Beixiao, who was dressed formally, holding the phone, had his eyes filled with love. “Good girl, I did not have a chance to call you. Don’t be mad at me; I will compensate you when I get back!”

The man’s voice was extremely gentle, with a hint of dullness.

“Brother Xiao, I am not angry. It’s just that it has been so long since we last talked; I was just worried... and I missed you...” Ye Qiao snuffled and said. She should be considerate... after all, his training was already so hard, and the Hunter School was famous for its strictness. How could he possibly have time to call her?

“Good girl... I will be back soon! It’s my graduation ceremony later!” Lu Beixiao smiled.

“Really?!” She wiped away her tears and exclaimed, “When are you coming back? I will go get you from the airport!”
