C417

She hadn't touched the car alone since her car was destroyed.

Therefore, it was inconvenient to go out, especially at this time of the new year. Not to mention the rare sight of taxis, even public transportation had been squeezed out.

Zhu Jiangci didn't let her go on the bus by herself, and since he couldn't get out of the car, he moved her out of the car at the last minute and found her a driver at the Chu residence.

The driver had changed, and a younger man, in his twenties or so.

All along the way, Su Qiao An had not spoken a single word.

When they reached the location, she thanked him and got out of the car.

As soon as he got off the car, he sent a message to Zhu Jiangci so that he wouldn't worry.

Right!

This was one of the few rules that Zhu Jiangci had set herself that she had to follow. She had to report when she was going out and give her license plate to others when she got in the car. When she arrived, she had to notify him in advance whether she was going to work overtime or attend social events.

Qi Yuan Yuan scolded Zhu Jiangci for being a male chauvinist, and insisted on controlling him to the point that he had to be firm with him.

She did not respond, because she knew that the reason Zhu Jiangci wanted to ask for such details was for her own good.

Less than two seconds after she sent the message, Zhu Jiangci called.

She could only hold onto her phone and walk into the room while talking on the phone. She only hung up after she arrived at the Qi Yuan Yuan's house.

He pressed the doorbell and waited for almost a minute before the person inside arrived late.

The one who opened the door was neither Qi Yuan Yuan nor Lu Qichen, but a completely unfamiliar man.

The two of them were shocked as they were separated from each other by the anti-theft door.

The first man who came back to his senses smiled, "You are the Qiao An that Yuan Yuan has been talking about?"

He opened the security door with a smile. "Come on in. It's cold outside."

Su Qiao An almost thought that he went to the wrong place and found the wrong door.

It was only after hearing the man's words that she realized she had not walked into the wrong place.

As soon as he entered the room, he was immediately hugged by the little girl who pounced on him.

Kui Kui hugged her thigh and said, "Mother, you're really slow! Uncle and I have been waiting for you for a long time! "

Uncle?

She looked at the man leaning against the Profound Entrance with a smile in her eyes in surprise. Why hadn't she heard that Qi Yuan Yuan had a younger brother?

It just so happened that Qi Yuan Yuan came out of the kitchen and heard her daughter's words. She explained, "That is Qi Ruyu, my own little brother, you have never met him before, it is no wonder you don't know him."

Su Qiao An smiled and nodded slightly, then carried Kui Kui and walked in.

When Kui Kui shouted for her uncle to carry her, she passed the person over to Qi Ruyu.

As he followed behind Qi Yuan Yuan into the kitchen, he saw that the person who was serving the chefs was Lu Qichen who had disappeared a long time ago.

Lu Qichen greeted her in a very natural manner, "You came?"

"Mm …" She saw Lu Qichen, wearing an apron and cooking vegetables, acting like a host.

It looks like... The two of them should be together now.

"Why didn't Zhu Jiangci come with you?" Qi Yuan Yuan asked.

"It seems like he still has some work to do at the company, so he left early in the morning."

"Oh ~ A workaholic!" Since he doesn't even have rest for the New Year, can't he temporarily stop his work and stay with you? "

"I'm not a child, why would I let him accompany me?"

Qi Yuan Yuan curled his lips in contempt, "Really? Who do you think was the one who had been eagerly waiting for someone to come back from America for the past month? Did you say that you would die if you didn't bite the bullet? "Admitting to it isn't difficult either!"

"You're still talking about me!?" "What about you?" Su Qiao An pouted towards Lu Qichen's direction, and ridiculed: "Seems like, you guys are about to finish cultivating right?"

"Don't worry, I'm not as conflicted as you are. He's a good person in the morning, and he doesn't mind the bad temper and shortcomings on me. I think I'll gladly accept as long as he's willing."

"Then I'll wait for the wedding wine." Su Qiao An was genuinely happy for Yuan Yuan, and at the same time, she was blaming herself.

She had really never heard Qi Yuan Yuan take the initiative to mention her past, nor did she ever hear any bad words from his mouth.

"You don't have to feel guilty, I chose to hide it. Furthermore, that part of the past was really disgraceful, and at that time, I had gone to college with great difficulty. How could I have thought about talking about the rebellious past in that sacred place with that smell of books? I should be glad that I met you. At the very least, I see that you, who don't have a good background, are working hard to live your life. So, I have the motivation to live a full life. "

"Yuan Yuan, thank you." She should be the one to rejoice, Qi Yuan Yuan would always appear when she needed him, and he would never ask her about the reason why he was willing to help her.

On the contrary, she seemed to be using Yuan Yuan's feelings as a friend.

"Alright, let's not talk about the unhappy things from the past. After all, it's all in the past now." Qi Yuan Yuan calmly patted her shoulder and said, "You are living a good life now, and I am also living a good life. This is the biggest gift, we should look forward, and not be stuck in the past, right?"

"In the end, you're the one who started working. As expected, your manner of speech and actions are very different from what they were in the past. It looks like Lu Qichen has really taught you well!" Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Qi Ruyu who was playing with Kui Kui in the living room. She asked, "But when did you get a little brother?"

"There has always been one! "I'm sorry, but I've been hiding my past from you, as well as my family background." He was kidnapped by traffickers when he was young, and he was only two years old at the time. Because of this, our family was in chaos, and because of that, my mother became quiet every day, until Ruyu was found. Only then did my mother's illness slowly improve, and now that Ruyu was found, it seemed like nothing had happened to Ruyu when I first entered university, Ruyu was still living in this world.

Mentioning this matter, Qi Yuan Yuan still had some lingering fear.

The year that Qi Ruyu disappeared, their family fell apart.

Since then, the atmosphere in their house had become heavy and oppressive, and every day she was immersed in that kind of grief. She could not bear to do that sort of thing at puberty.

Su Qiao An understood and was about to say something when Lu Qichen suddenly interrupted, "I say, two beauties, this is not the place for you two to chat. Why don't you two go out first?"

"Let me help!" "Go out and play with Kui Kui for a while. When the child heard that you were coming today, he was extremely happy, so you should go out to accompany her."

As she said that, she took the initiative and chased him away, directly pushing Su Qiao An out of the kitchen.

Su Qiao An stood steadily, and when he saw the two people standing side by side in the kitchen, he could not help but smile.

"My sister is very compatible with him, right?" The man's voice came from his side.
