The seemingly gentle and elegant Mr. Qiao Pu, upon hearing that it was Ye Shengxun, clenched his fists and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Lu Beixiao in time.
At this moment, Old Mrs. Qiao and Ye Qiao also saw him. Old Mrs. Qiao guessed from Ye Qiao’s reaction that it was Ye Shengxun!
Ye Shengxun clearly recognized the Qiao family’s Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Yi’s big brother from a short distance away. Their photos were all in her diary!
The world was quiet…
Ye Shengxun was stunned for a long time. He took a step forward and walked toward them. Not far from them, he knelt down with a thud!
Ye Qiao took a deep breath, raised her head slightly and averted her gaze.
The old lady and Qiao Pu’s hateful eyes fell on Ye Shengxun. They resisted the urge to rush forward and hit him. “Ye Shengxun! Don’t come to my daughter’s grave in the future! You’re not allowed to pay your respects to her! You don’t have the right! Get lost!”
Ye Qiao quietly came to Lu Beixiao’s side and held his hand tightly. He held her hand back.
Ye Shengxun did not refute. He just kept kowtowing to the old lady. Once, twice, three times… In a short while, the skin on his forehead broke with sweat…
How else could the Qiao family vent their anger!
“Qiao Pu, from now on, let people look at Qiao Yi’s grave. Don’t let this coward pay his respects to her!” the old lady said forcefully. Ye Qiao did not say a word for Ye Shengxun. What else could she say?
The Qiao family’s hatred toward yYe Shengxun could only be resolved bit by bit with the passage of time.
It was a night in the countryside. The sky was full of stars. A group of children were playing wildly in the grain field. It was the same for them when they were young. This place was filled with memories of her childhood.
“Qiao Qiao, every time my brother calls, he says that you take care of him. Sorry to trouble you!” The one who spoke was Sun Jian’s sister, Peaches.
“Sister Peaches, why are you thanking me? We’re from the same village! Sun Jian is very good. He’s already a little famous now!” In this era, cable television could not even receive J City television, so the villagers could not see any of those shows.
“Are you serious?! My mother just said two days ago that she wanted him to come back for a blind date! This brat always says that he has someone he likes! She asked him who it was, but he didn’t say!” Peaches added.
At this moment, Lu Beixiao happened to come over to look for Ye Qiao.
That brat liked his wife!
“I haven’t heard about that, but there are a lot of women who like him now!” Ye Qiao smiled and said, “Sister Peach, it’s getting late. I’m going home!”
Ye Qiao hurriedly said. It was dark, so she could not see anything. She raised her voice and said something, but was dragged away by Lu Beixiao.
“Brother Xiao, slow down!” Before Ye Qiao could finish, her back was against the rough wall of the courtyard.
“Baby, if you keep hanging out with that kid after we get back to J, I’ll be really angry, understand?” He warned in a low voice, pressing her against the wall.
Fortunately, the countryside was dark, so no one could see them.
“So what if you’re really angry?” Ye Qiao’s hand drew circles on his heart through his shirt. She raised her face and asked fearlessly.
Then nothing happened.
Lu Beixiao’s lips curled up in satisfaction.
“What’s wrong, hm?”
“Wrong… What’s wrong is that I shouldn’t have gotten so close to that b*tch! Actually, Brother Xiao, I really don’t…”
“I won’t have anything to do with him in the future, alright?!” she said softly.
That was more like it!
“In the future, you’re not allowed to meddle in his affairs!” Lu Beixiao said in a deep voice and stopped. “You must stay here. You must be doing this on purpose, right?”
Grandma and the others had gone to the city to stay in a hotel. She insisted on staying at her old home. There were only two bedrooms in their main house. Tonight, she and Mother Qiao would stay in one. Father Qiao would sleep on the cement floor at the door, and the west wing would be left to his daughter-in-law.
There was a custom in the countryside that married daughters were not allowed to stay in the same room at their parents’ house!
If they stayed in a hotel in the city, they could still stay together for the night!
“No! I like my old home!” Ye Qiao pouted and retorted.
“Girl, I know what you’re thinking!” Lu Beixiao held her hand and said in a deep voice.
“Don’t bother with that kid anymore!” he said domineeringly and was about to lead the way into the yard.
“You’re so jealous! I can’t get close to anyone of the opposite sex with you! He’s my best friend!” Ye Qiao said angrily.
“Baby, let’s not talk about whether he likes you or not. Let’s talk about you. Why do you have to be his best friend? What would you think if I had a girl friend?”
“Don’t you dare!” Ye Qiao said arrogantly. Her voice was so loud that the old couple in the courtyard could hear it. They thought to themselves, ‘could the young couple be quarreling!’
“Mrs. Lu, you only allow state officials to set fires. You don’t allow commoners to light lamps…” Lu Beixiao faintly said, amused by her domineering attitude.
“That’s right! You don’t allow commoners to light lamps!” Mrs. Lu was willful and unreasonable.
