When the kids saw their mom’s face turned sour after taking the call, they didn’t dare to approach, fearing they’d get caught in so unforeseen trouble.
Once the car stopped, Shen Jianzhong asked, "Did the person you asked to investigate have results?"
Luo Qiao nodded with a gloomy face and handed the phone back, "It’s for a friend’s investigation, but the results are quite embarrassing to speak of."
Shen Jianzhong chuckled, "Facts are what they are; they won’t change just because you’re embarrassed to ntion them."
He gathered his things to get off the car, "Thanks for today. In a few days, we’ll organize a dinner to celebrate Yanyan and Yueyue getting into their dream universities. Bring your younger siblings and the kids, and let’s gather together."
"Sure, anyti, no need to be formal."
Xiao Ye ca running over, "Uncle Zhong, won’t you co inside for a drink of water?"
Luo Qiao smiled, "Your Uncle Zhong has things to attend to shortly, no ti."
Shen Jianzhong also smiled and said, "Xiao Ye, I’ll co by another day. I really have things to do today; Uncle has to go first."
Yueyue ran out from a nearby store with a chilled drink and handed it directly to the driver’s seat, "Uncle Zhong, I know you’re busy, but you must take this. Drink it while parked but not while driving; we must pay attention to safety."
"Alright, Uncle Zhong thanks our Yueyue. I promise to be good and not drink while driving."
Luo Qiao said to him, "Have soone deliver the docunts to the hospital tomorrow morning."
"Sure, sis, I’ll head off then."
"Drive safely."
Back ho, after thinking for a long while, she decided it was ti to wrap this up since it’s been delayed for so long. She then dialed Ji Lin’s number.
"Hello, Ji Lin, is it convenient to talk now?"
"I stepped outside, go ahead, why all the mystery?"
"I’ve got results for the matter you asked to investigate. I’ll co to find you tomorrow noon."
"Can you just tell ahead, so I have an idea?"
"Let’s talk about it in person tomorrow."
"By your tone, the results aren’t good, are they?"
Luo Qiao thought, not just not good, you’d worry that your quick temper might just blow up.
Ji Lin sighed, "Alright then, we’ll talk when we et tomorrow noon."
Yanyan ca out after getting ready, "Mom, we’ve planned with classmates to go out tomorrow, can you give us so outing money?"
Luo Qiao laughed and hugged her daughter, "Ti flies, my precious daughter is heading to college soon. So, how much do you need? Daughters need to be well taken care of, so they won’t be easily deceived by trivial benefits."
Yanyan laughed in Luo Qiao’s embrace, "Mom, where do you even hear this stuff? But it seems to make sense."
Luo Qiao helped smooth her daughter’s hair, "What about Yueyue, what’s she up to?"
Yanyan threw her arms around Luo Qiao’s neck, "Mom, let tell you, on the day the exams finished, a boy confessed to my sister, but she turned him down."
Luo Qiao reached out and rubbed Yanyan’s forehead, "Really? Why did she refuse?"
"Mom, why do you ask differently than other parents? Aren’t you supposed to say, ’You’re too young now, no dating allowed’?"
Luo Qiao burst into laughter at Yanyan’s comnt.
After she laughed enough, she whispered, "Your dad and I got together during my high school years, but the situation was special back then."
Yanyan got intrigued, "Mom, tell your and Dad’s story quickly."
Luo Qiao lightly tapped her daughter on the forehead, "Alright, if you want to know, go ask your dad."
