Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s-Chapter 1238 We Were Originally Strangers

Yang Jiancheng looked at his eldest grandson with disappointment because he hadn’t said a word, while Feng Shumin invited Luo Qiao and the others into the house.

Mao Xiaoxia, Yang Ruining’s wife, stepped forward at this moment: "The child is a bit spoiled and not very good at speaking, please don’t be upset."

Luo Qiao looked at her: "The child didn’t say anything wrong. If it weren’t for the relationship with my mentors, we would indeed be strangers."

Mao Xiaoxia was somewhat anxious. The family had discussed Luo Qiao before, and the mother-in-law even said she might help out by asking if her own brother could be a driver at Yipin, where each vehicle was equipped with loading staff, the driver’s work wasn’t too tiring as they simply assisted, and the job was quite well-paid.

Originally, the mother-in-law had said that Luo Qiao would definitely try her best to forge a good relationship with them. However, she didn’t follow the script they envisioned; she only recognized the mentor-mentee relationship with the grandparents and had no intention of interacting with them.

If her father and mother-in-law found out that it was their son’s words that made Luo Qiao not want to interact with them, she couldn’t bear to think of the consequences.

After Luo Qiao had entered the house, Feng Shumin brought out a box of pastries: "Come, little darlings, come and have some pastries."

She handed a piece to each of the three younger ones, then pulled Yanyan and Yueyue over and said to Luo Qiao: "You really have grown a lot, how long can you stay this time?"

"After the Lantern Festival."

Yang Jiancheng spoke up: "Last time you were here, you mentioned that you were developing a new anti-cancer drug. Any results now?"

"Yes, I’ve already filed for a patent and once I return, we’ll start the clinical trial phase."

Yang Jiancheng was somewhat excited but also knew some things were best left unasked.

Luo Qiao didn’t mind and suggested they talk in the study.

The two talked in the study for over an hour, Luo Qiao shared everything she could with her master, and Yang Jiancheng nodded, "Having a good mentor is your fortune. There’s one more year, keep up the work."

Luo Qiao nodded: "Master, don’t worry. With such a great opportunity, how could I not give it my all? I aim to bring back new research results when I return."

As they were wrapping up their conversation, they heard children crying outside.

They stood up and went out only to see Xiao Ye and another girl both crying. Luo Qiao quickly went over: "What happened?"

Yanyan spoke discontentedly: "My brother was playing just fine, but this little friend came and tried to take the toy from his hand, my brother wouldn’t give it to her and she grabbed it, causing Xiao Ye to fall."

Feng Shumin was visibly angry at this time: "Zining, pick her up now. How can she just come over and snatch things without saying anything and then start crying when she can’t get it?"

Luo Qiao frowned slightly, picked up Xiao Ye, and stood up: "Yanyan, where is your dad?"

Yanyan pointed outside: "My brother’s bottle fell on the ground just now, dad went to the kitchen to wash it."

At that moment, Lu Yichen also came in: "I just stepped out for a moment, what happened?"

Luo Qiao said: "It’s okay, probably just got scared."

Yang Zining had already pacified her daughter, pulling her over: "Say sorry to your little friend."

The child whispered, "Sorry, I just wanted to see the toy he was holding. I didn’t mean to grab it, I just used too much force and pulled him down."

Luo Qiao spoke lightly: "It’s okay, they are still little, and not very stable on their feet. If you use too much force, it’s easy for them to fall. Just be more careful next time."

But inside she wasn’t pleased, thinking her son hadn’t cried many times growing up, probably he was just startled this time.

Luo Qiao glanced at Lu Yichen, then took Xiao Ye to be comforted.

Although Lu Yichen felt wronged, he was also somewhat annoyed with himself for not watching his son closely during that brief moment, and he felt very guilty.

After Yang Jiancheng came out, he called his lively great-granddaughter over and patiently lectured her, and the child said a bit sheepishly, "Great Granny, I was wrong."

Then she came over to apologize to Xiao Ye again: "Sorry, I was wrong."

Xiao Ye had stopped crying by then, Luo Qiao whispered a few words in his ear, and he laughed: "It’s okay, I forgive you."

Yang Zining came over: "I’m really sorry for today, and also thank you for helping with our job transfers before."

Luo Qiao politely replied: "No thanks needed, I didn’t want to see my master and mistress troubled. After all, they are elderly and used to a quiet life."

Yang Zining could obviously tell the implication, that her parents must have caused a disturbance when they arrived, prompting Luo Qiao to step in to help.

Feeling perhaps too ungracious, Luo Qiao added another sentence: "If you want to thank me, then just do well at work."

Yang Zining smiled: "I will, thank you, the jobs you arranged are quite good."

Luo Qiao smiled lightly: "That’s good."
