Chapter 154 - Other Than You, Who Else Can I Ask In This House

Luo Yanyun saw that Liang Zixuan just pursed her lip and didn't say anything, so she held her hand worriedly. "Zixuan, do you have anything to say?"

Liang Zixuan raised her eyes, looked at Qiao Hongya, then looked at Luo Yanyun before saying, "Actually, Wei Xiaoqing and I used to have the same teacher and grandmother should know her. She's a good friend of my mother, Yu Meilin."

She sighed. "At that time, mom asked Auntie Yu to take care of Big Brother and me. Auntie Yu also felt sorry for me, so she told Jiang Huifang that she would teach Wei Xiaoqing and me the piano lessons for free. As for Jiang Huifang, she also likes to take advantage of people, so she immediately agreed. At first, everything was fine, but then, when Jiang Huifang saw that Wei Xiaoqing was really not interested in music and didn't study it well, she didn't let Auntie Yu teach us anymore."

"Yu Meilin." Luo Yanyun's heart skipped a beat and she almost cried when she looked at Liang Zixuan. "She won't come out and testify for you no matter what."

"Why?" Qiao Hongya was confused. "Since she is Wei Xiaoqing's and your teacher, she should know about Wei Xiaoqing's talent. If she can testify for you, then this problem will be solved easily. Why won't she help you?"

Liang Zixuan shook her head. "Because she is Hou Yingyi's mother, and Hou Yingyi and I had already break-up. Now that Wei Xiaoqing is his girlfriend, how can Auntie Yu help me deal with her future daughter-in-law?"

In this matter, if it were anyone else, they would probably help their own family members.

How could Yu Meilin let Wei Xiaoqing's reputation be ruined just because of Liang Zixuan?

Qiao Hongya shut his mouth and looked at Liang Zixuan gloomily. He didn't know what to say anymore.

"I'll call Auntie Yu tomorrow and ask her out for a chat. No matter what, I'll do my best. If it doesn't work out, I'll think of another way." Liang Zixuan stood up and stretched lazily. "I'm tired. I need to go back to my room to rest. Grandma, Grandpa Qiao, it's late. You should rest too."

"Mm. Alright." Luo Yanyun looked at Liang Zixuan as she went upstairs. She then slowly placed both of her hands on her laps. After glancing at Qiao Hongya, she asked awkwardly, "You...Do you have any other ideas?"

"Me?" Qiao Hongya immediately straightened his back and looked at Luo Yanyun expectantly. "Are you asking me?"

Luo Yanyun rolled her eyes speechlessly. "Other than you, who else can I ask in this house? A ghost?"

Qiao Hongya laughed happily. He even rubbed his hands excitedly. "I definitely have a way to deal with this, but it's not that glorious. If Zixuan can convince Yu Meilin to testify, that would be great."

"Don't mention that." Luo Yanyun immediately thought of Hou Yingyi when Qiao Hongya mentioned Yu Meilin's name. She hated Hou Yingyi so much that she gritted her teeth and said, "I don't want Zixuan to beg that family! Back then, when my daughter was on her deathbed, she had handed Zixuan and Jiahao to Yu Meilin for her to take care of. Yu Meilin told her own son to take care of Zixuan; in the end, her own son was so talented that he took care of Zixuan while messing around with Wei Xiaoqing!"

Luo Yanyun slapped the chair and said, "I won't let Zixuan beg to that family! I won't let her lose her face again!"

Qiao Hongya held her hand and seeing her blushing, he said, "Don't be like this. Since you asked, I will definitely help her. Even if it isn't easy, I'm willing to do it. You don't have to make things difficult for yourself anymore."

Luo Yanyun's wrist felt as if it was being burned. She quickly withdrew her hand and didn't dare to look at Qiao Hongya's concerned eyes again. She looked around and said, "If you feel troubled, you can refuse to help. I'll ask Xiao Han."

"Of course not!" Qiao Hongya was a little anxious. "Zixuan finally needs my help, how could I not help her? Even if … Even if you don't tell me, I will still help her."

Speaking of this matter, Qiao Hongya felt that the time was ripe. He and Luo Yanyun had been together for a period of time, and he felt that although Luo Yanyun always kept a distance from him and called him "Master Qiao", she still looked forward to his help when she really had something on her mind.

Based on this alone, Qiao Hongya felt that it was time for him to explain what had happened all those years ago.

"Xiao Luo."

Xiao Luo was Qiao Hongya's nickname for her. She hadn't heard anyone call her that for a long time. The moment Qiao Hongya said it, her face immediately blushed and she didn't dare to look at him in the eyes. She just sat there with her head lowered, feeling uneasy.

"Xiao Luo, that year, I really went to find you. I saw you standing on the bridge and looking forward to seeing -"

Luo Yanyun was annoyed. "Who's looking forward to meeting you?"

"No, no, me, I'm looking forward to it!" Qiao Hongya smiled embarrassedly. "Don't be angry, just listen to what I have to say."

Qiao Hongya rubbed his hand and was a little nervous. "That time, I really did go. I saw you standing on the bridge and I wanted to run toward you happily, but at that moment, two people appeared with guns in their hands, and I knew they were here to kill me. I was afraid, afraid that you would be implicated, so I ran in the opposite direction and got saved. Then, when I returned to this country, I could not find you even after such a long search."

Luo Yanyun raised her head and looked at him expressionlessly. "I'm sleepy. I'll go back and sleep first. You should go back to sleep as well."

"Hmm?" Qiao Hongya was stunned for a moment. Luo Yanyun shouldn't have such a reaction. Could it be that he didn't explain it clearly?

Could it be that Luo Yanyun didn't understand what he meant?

"Xiao Luo!" Qiao Hongya suddenly stood up. "Xiao Luo, let me finish explaining …"

Before he could finish his words, Luo Yanyun had swiftly climbed the stairs with her old arms and legs.

Qiao Hongya just stood there and watched Luo Yanyun entering her room and closing the door with a bang. His heart suddenly felt empty.

It seemed that his Xiao Luo was still unwilling to forgive him!

The next day.

Liang Zixuan initially thought that she would take the subway to the company since Han Yuanjun returned to Han Residence, however, when she opened the door, she saw him waiting for her at the entrance. Her eyes reddened as she walked up to him and hugged him.

"When did you get back?" She leaned into his embrace, rubbing her face against his chest like a kitten acting coquettishly.

Liang Zixuan had never thought she would be like this, nor had she thought that she would rely on him like this.. After meeting Han Yuanjun, she started to rely on him more.
