Chapter 236: Just Snatch Him Back

“Hmm… Good looking with a sexy body… not too sure if Miss Ye is willing to take care of this treasure?”

She held tightly onto the chair and replied, “I am! I am!”

…

“Brother Xiao, I will need to go to the office for a meeting! And this money here, I am planning to invest it into properties! It will be our common assets; I am not going to put them under the company!”

“My wifey’s brain is full of business!” Lu Beixiao realized it long ago. Her little girl was truly interested in business, and she also majored in marketing.

J University was the best university in the country. A girl like her could simply study some standard professional major and would be able to get an easy job sitting in the office after graduating. But her? She was the top student in the liberal arts faculty, and yet she studied such a major.

According to his understanding, the rest of the girls in her class were assigned to this major because their scores were not high enough.

In a way, she was somewhat similar to Madam Du.

The old couple was just the same.

Madam Du was in charge of the business side of things, and the old man was in the Military Department.

This little girl was chatting with Madam Du about investments in N town this afternoon at the dining table; she even gave Madam Du some suggestions!

“The money will just sit there if you don’t use it anyway!” She smiled.

Ye Qiao did not have any particularly big ambitions in the business field. Having a chance to live her life again, she just wanted to help her parents and siblings to have a more comfortable life. However, in her previous life, she had witnessed such earth-shaking changes in the next 20 years. She would be stupid if she did not do anything about it.

Nevertheless, she was not a greedy person; her biggest wish was for Brother Xiao to be safe and sound and be with her till their death, just like Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu!

***

Before Ye Qiao left, she found Ye Shengxun in the garden. She handed him the diary her mother had left behind.

Ye Shengxun’s eyes immediately reddened.

The diary might give this man a little comfort! After all, this man who once had a flourishing career had suffered a double whammy.

“Qiao Qiao, did your mother’s family look for you over the past few years?” Just when Ye Qiao was about to leave, Ye Shengxun asked.

He was referring to Qiao Yi’s family.

Ye Qiao remembered that the Qiao family was located in Qing Town in the S Province – a beautiful coastal city. The Qiao family had been in business for generations and was a rich family. But some incidents happened in their family – some of them passed away, some were lost, and her mother’s siblings were all sent to different villages around the country.

“No, did you receive any news?” In her previous life, she never met her mother’s family even before she died. She probably would not be able to see them in this lifetime too.

“No. When I went to Qing Town for business, I would always ask about their whereabouts, but I was still not able to find them.” Ye Shengxun sighed.

“Maybe they are all scattered at the ends of the world, living in peace! I hope they don’t know about the death of Qiao Yi; at least they could still miss her in their heart!” Ye Qiao left after saying.

Lu Beixiao brought Ye Qiao back to the base. The Lu family would arrange the engagement dinner, and the date was set for the 2nd of October as everyone happened to have a holiday that day.

Meanwhile, Commander Lu accompanied Madam Du to treat the Gu Family for dinner. Gu Xueyan purposely took leave and rushed back from the art team.

“Godmother, is Brother Beixiao not coming? Is he busy these days?” Gu Xueyan was the last one to arrive. She started to ask about Lu Beixiao after sitting down.

Du Ying was stunned and thought to herself, ‘He has been quite busy dating his girlfriend!’

That kid treated Ye Qiao as his life!

“Yes, Your Brother Beixiao got promoted again! He is even busier now!” Madam Du laughed.

“That’s why I said; it’s not good to find a soldier! They can only be home for a few days a year! Yanzi, I will help you find a guy who will take care of the family well, okay?” Du Ying was ashamed to tell her the truth.

As soon as she said that, the Gu family felt disappointed. It was clear that she had hinted to them about not being able to be in-laws!

“Godmother! I will not give up on him! As a family member, I will have to be considerate! I am not afraid of hardship. I am serious! In my heart, Brother Beixiao is the hero of the country! I like him! And I will be considerate towards him!” Gu Xueyan said. Apparently, she did not catch the hint from Madam Du.

Madam Du was speechless.

“Yan Yan!” The Gu couple were embarrassed; their daughter did not understand, but they did!

Commander Lu, who always settled things cleanly and neatly, decided to speak. “Yanzi, your brother Beixiao already has a girlfriend. Your godmother only knew about it in the last few days.”

Gu Xueyan was stunned after Commander Lu said the truth!

“Yanzi! I am sorry, it’s godmother’s fault! I did not communicate well with your Brother Beixiao!” Madam Du quickly left her seat and went beside Xueyan to comfort her.

Gu Xueyan’s heart was aching. The news was just like a bolt of lightning struck her out of the blue!

She already spread the news to her friends that she was getting together with Lu Beixiao. Her friends were all jealous of her, and now…

“Du Ying, don’t be sorry. Our Yan Yan will congratulate Xiao, right? You were not close to Xiao anyways!” Gu Xueyan’s mother, Tian Suzhi, quickly tried to resolve this embarrassment. She quietly patted her daughter’s arm.

“Godmother! I… It’s just a little too sudden! It’s fine, Brother Beixiao and I were not close, to begin with!” Gu Xueyan quickly said after returning to her senses. She certainly looked considerate.

Last year, she gathered her courage to confess to Lu Beixiao. He told her that he had a girlfriend, and she thought that he was just lying. She did not expect that… It was the truth…!

Seeing Gu Xueyan being this considerate, Du Ying felt even worse. “Yanzi, you are always my good daughter. Don’t worry; I will find a better guy for you!”

Gu Xueyan could only nod her head. However, in the middle of their meal, she found an excuse to go to the washroom. She hid in the washroom and cried.

“What’s the use of crying? Just snatch him back.” Li Yun looked into the mirror as she was putting on her lipstick and said to Gu Xueyan, who was washing her face.

Gu Xueyan lifted her head and looked into the mirror; she did not know this woman.

“Lu Beixiao’s girlfriend is Ye Qiao; she is the illegitimate daughter from the Ye family! Mother Lu likes you so much, and you have to make use of your advantage, do you understand!” Li Yun reminded her.
