No choice, Yao Chengxuan had to swallow his pride and borrow money from the neighbors on both sides to bring the person back.
The money wasn’t much, but it was another blow to the Yao Family.
Wu Peiling was left with nothing but curses, but what good would it do?
This year’s holiday was destined to be a tough one for the Yao Family.
Huo Yuhao didn’t demand repaynt, only because Yao Chengxuan and Yao Pengrui still had decent values.
In the hospital, the second surgery for the patient was very successful. Although recovery wouldn’t bring back the way things were before, at least the person was okay, which made Yao Pengrui breathe a sigh of relief.

These days, Luo Qiao had also joined the group shopping for New Year’s supplies.
Lu Yichen washed up the dishes: "Qiao Bao, don’t go out tomorrow. I’ll be off the day after tomorrow, and then I’ll go with you to buy everything we need. Take a look at what we’re missing and make a list."
Luo Qiao thought it over and agreed; everywhere was crowded these days: "Alright, I’ll stay ho and make the list tomorrow, and maybe make so atballs, crispy at, and braised at to share with everyone."
Lu Yichen pulled her into his arms: "Just don’t overwork yourself. Once we finish shopping the day after tomorrow, we can send everything to both families right away, so we don’t have to go back and forth again."
Nestled in Lu Yichen’s embrace, thinking about visiting her master and his wife tomorrow to observe proper etiquette, she heard Lu Yichen say: "You don’t have to go there by yourself; I’ll go with you to deliver the things."
Luo Qiao laughed: "Alright, I’ll follow your lead. Then I’ll run over to visit my godmother tomorrow and bring so things. She called the other day to ask to pick up the kids’ sweaters and pants."
The family has three grandsons and five granddaughters, and weaving sweaters and pants for the kids this year took quite so ti. Fortunately, she works in an office."
Lu Yichen chuckled: "Godmother certainly cares about the kids. By the way, bring a few bottles of good wine when you visit."
Luo Qiao wrapped her arms around Lu Yichen’s neck: "Are you trying to make godfather go all out for a taste of wine with godmother?"
Lu Yichen laughed: "They call it marital fun, but you see it as a battle of wits."
After so playful banter, Luo Qiao rembered Luo Chen and Luo Xin: "By the way, did Luo Chen’s dad return from his business trip?"
Lu Yichen nodded lightly: "He also asked to thank you."
Luo Qiao teased: "Why didn’t you tell ?"
Lu Yichen grinned and nibbled her ear: "Just didn’t have the chance yet."
He would never admit that he forgot.
Luo Qiao suddenly thought of soone: "Brother Chen, what’s your take on Luo Feng?"
"Good-looking, excellent business ability, no issues with character."
"Did he and his wife fall in love freely, or were they introduced by soone?"
"I’m not really sure about that; what’s up?"
"Didn’t you say the ladies at the bureau are looking for a remarriage candidate for Luo Feng? I have soone suitable in mind."
"Who is it?"
"What do you think of Shen Juan?"
"Shen Juan, your university classmate?"
"Yes, she divorced before and is now living in Capital City with her kid. If Luo Feng is as good as you say, why not match them? Sounds fitting. But I’ll have to personally vet them."
"You never know; they just might work out."
"I’ll co by the bureau tomorrow. You can call him to the office so I can et him. If he’s good, I’ll talk to Shen Juan. If they’re both interested, let them et."
"Alright, co by around ten tomorrow."
The next day, after breakfast, Lu Yichen was washing dishes while Luo Qiao handled the at, preparing to make crispy at and braised beef.
While chatting sporadically, they heard soone knocking at the door.
Luo Qiao went to check: "Who is it?"
The person outside responded: "Sister Luo, it’s An Siyun."
Luo Qiao opened the door and saw who was standing there: "Why have you got uncle and aunt coming in such cold weather?"
An Siyun’s mom, Liu Jiani, quickly spoke: "We should have co earlier. The girl didn’t know the address, and then her dad was on a business trip, so it dragged until today. Really, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I can’t imagine..."
Luo Qiao said: "It was the right thing to do after encountering the situation; saving people is instinctive."
Lu Yichen also stepped outside, unexpectedly hearing An Siyun’s dad say: "Director Lu, is this your ho?"
Lu Yichen was evidently surprised: "Old An, what’s going on?"
Luo Qiao chuckled: "You know each other?"
Lu Yichen introduced: "This is An Kunyun, working at the prosecutor’s office, an old acquaintance."
He then addressed An Kunyun: "This is my wife, Luo Qiao."
After exchanging greetings, they entered the living room.
Luo Qiao made tea, poured a cup for each person, and then sat down.
Lu Yichen then learned about Luo Qiao’s rescue mission and, for so reason, advised An Siyun: "Better keep away from water in the future."
An Siyun quickly understood: "Yes, yes, I’ll be careful and won’t make such mistakes again, troubling Sister Luo."
Knowing Lu Yichen had to go to work later, the An Family didn’t stay long but expressed their gratitude and said, "Let’s keep in touch."
An Siyun hugged Luo Qiao’s arm: "Sister Luo, I’m leaving. I’ll co to see you when I have ti."
Luo Qiao smiled: "Alright."
