Chapter 831: Found the Person So Quickly

~7 min read 1,276 words

On the way back, the atmosphere in the car was much more relaxed than when they came.

The jeep drove slowly on the icy road, the wheels crushing the snow and making a creaking sound.

Qin Ruixue looked at the streetscape flying past outside the window and suddenly opened her mouth: "Qiao, you say, what is it that people live for?"

Lu Qiao looked straight ahead, driving the car steadily while saying slowly: "Look at Zhao Xiaojing, you should know what people live for..."

Qin Ruixue was silent for a long time, and finally said in a low voice: "I understand."

Lu Qiao didn't say anything more.

Still the same sentence as before. So many people are teaching her, she really doesn't need to reach out.

And she actually isn't good at preaching either.

She is better at cleaning people up.

And she likes cleaning people up more.

Because that is more fulfilling!

When the car drove back to the courtyard, the sun had already tilted west, and the orange-red afterglow sprinkled on the snow, reflecting a dazzling light. Lu Qiao returned the car key to the small car squad and walked toward the family area side by side with Qin Ruixue.

Passing by a small forest, Lu Qiao suddenly stopped and looked into the distance.

Qin Ruixue followed her gaze and saw that deep in the forest, a figure wearing a dark gray down jacket was standing under an old locust tree, looking toward their side.

That person was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, his posture straight. Although it was only a back view, it exuded a unique scholarly atmosphere and coldness.

"Who is that?" Lu Qiao asked a bit casually.

Qin Ruixue narrowed her eyes and identified it carefully. I don't know why, but her face carried a bit of complexity: "It seems to be Lou Zhe, the youngest son of the Lou family."

"Lou Zhe?" Lu Qiao thought for a moment: "Is that the legendary chemical genius who is now invited to Beidu University to engage in chemistry?"

During her time in Jiangcheng, she had a phone call with Sang Juan, and Sang Juan told her about this matter.

She also said that the arrogant and self-important Xia Yinghe had been introduced to have a blind date with Lou Zhe before, but was rejected by Xia Yinghe.

Being rejected, Lou Zhe wasn't angry either. The two met at Beidu University

【Little Master, Little Master, I found Zhao Xiaojing's grandfather.】 Xiaohui, handling such a major task for the first time, had a voice trembling with excitement.

Lu Qiao hurriedly praised it in her heart: "You found him so quickly, you're truly amazing!" She then started the car while praising it; even though she had found him, she couldn't send the girl over for the next two days. She needed to understand the situation first, and besides, Aunt Lu Yun and the orphanage director were already waiting there.

While driving, Xiaohui continued its report.

【Little Master, Zhao Xiaojing's grandfather is named Zhao Jun, and he is the factory director of the Fifth Textile Factory. His son, Zhao Zhigang, returned three years ago, but a year ago he got into a fight and severely injured someone. He is currently in prison, sentenced to life imprisonment. The Zhao family only has this one son. I also heard that Zhao Zhigang's mother is in very poor health, and Zhao Zhigang's father's hair has turned white. As for Zhao Xiaojing's mother, the situation is unknown.】

Little Cangcang, who had been staying nearby, also added: 【Clearly, the Zhao family has no idea that their son married a female educated youth named Hu Dan and even had a child, who is now twelve years old.】

Lu Qiao listened to them chattering away while she drove.

She had to admit that these little things were truly incredible; in just over ten minutes, they had managed to figure out almost the entire situation.

However, there was a problem here: it was likely that Zhao Zhigang had never told his family about his marriage and child.

Lu Qiao asked in her heart: "Then did you hear whether he was talking about marriage with anyone else?"

【Yes, yes...】

This was Little Cangcang's voice.

Then, the little ones flying in the air alongside the jeep all looked at Little Cangcang, who proudly continued to show off: 【The year he returned, his mother introduced him to a prospective partner. The two got along and were almost married, but then he got sentenced, didn't he? That woman broke up with him, and now that girl is already married.】

Lu Qiao didn't ask who that girl was; this shouldn't have anything to do with Zhao Xiaojing.

Lu Qiao's heart settled slightly.

She could only say that this child was lucky; if it weren't for her good eyesight, it would have been impossible to see a little girl hiding behind the car. But since she had seen her, she couldn't just stand by and watch.

Very quickly, Lu Qiao watched as the jeep drove to the west gate of Guo'an University.

Zhao Xiaojing, inside the car, seemed to have recovered, looking at Lu Qiao, who could drive a jeep, with eyes full of admiration.

This big sister is really amazing!

She can actually drive such an impressive car.

Grandma Qi at the village entrance told her: "You hurry and go; your benefactor is in Beidu. Once you get there, even if you can't find your parents, you'll be able to live a good life."

Carrying the amulet Grandma Qi gave her, she arrived safely in Beidu, but Beidu was just too, too big.

She didn't know how to find her father and mother.

But now it seems Grandma Qi's words were right.

But should she tell this to...

At this moment, Lu Qiao slowly parked the jeep at the school's main entrance.

She then opened the car door, and the group got out.

Aunt Lu Yun and a woman with graying hair were standing there.

Lu Yun's face was full of smiles when she saw Lu Qiao.

This was the first time her second niece had ever asked her for a favor.

The moment Lu Qiao spoke, Lu Yun even felt a sense of being pleasantly surprised.

So she had hurried to find Director Dong and told her about the matter, and Director Dong had agreed immediately without a second word.

Lu Yun knew that while her own reputation played a part, it was mostly because of Lu Lu Qiaoge.

She had to admit that Lu Lu Qiaoge had easily opened up a situation for herself in Beidu.

Lu Yun felt very proud in her heart, though she wouldn't show such thoughts.

She first introduced both sides, and after Lu Qiao greeted them, she also introduced Qin Ruixue to her aunt and Director Dong.

Of course, she also introduced Zhao Xiaojing's situation.

Since Director Dong had agreed, she wouldn't make things difficult for Lu Qiao by asking this or that.

She was a kind-hearted middle-aged woman wearing a thick cotton coat; upon seeing Zhao Xiaojing, she hugged her with pity.

Zhao Xiaojing gripped Lu Qiao's coat tightly, refusing to let go, her eyes full of attachment and reluctance.

Lu Qiao squatted down and said softly to her: "Xiaojing, be good, go with this grandma first. There are many children there, as well as hot steamed buns and stewed pork with Chinese cabbage. As soon as I find news of your parents, I'll come find you immediately, okay?"

Zhao Xiaojing nodded with teary eyes, and only then did she follow Lu Yun and Director Dong into the orphanage, looking back every few steps.
