Chapter 1773: Chapter 1773: Could This Be Luo Chen’s Love Rival?
Before leaving work, Luo Qiao called Lu Yichen to report: "Brother Chen, I’m having dinner with my second sister-in-law tonight, and will be back late."
"Where are you going to eat? Send me the address, and I’ll pick you up later."
"No need, I’ll drive myself back."
"No, you’ve not been in the best state these days. I’ll finish up my work and then come to get you."
Luo Qiao knew he was worried, so she could only compromise and sent him the dining location.
When Luo Qiao arrived, Shen Juan and Ji Lin were already there.
Ji Lin waved at her with a smile: "We didn’t make a reservation, so there’s no private room. We’ll have to eat in the main hall."
Luo Qiao laughed and said, "Anywhere is fine, we’re just here to eat anyway."
Just as Luo Qiao sat down and poured herself a glass of water, someone came over to greet her: "Auntie, hello."
Luo Qiao looked up to see Qi Junrui smiling at her: "Oh, Junrui, you’re eating here too?"
Qi Junrui smiled and said, "My grandpa is here for some business, so I came along."
Luo Qiao laughed and said, "Long time no see, you seem to have grown a lot taller?"
Qi Junrui gave a polite smile: "Not too bad. Yanyan and Yueyue seem very busy this summer? I couldn’t reach them."
Luo Qiao thought of her two daughters: "They went to the military camp with their brothers. If there’s training, their phones are confiscated, so it’s normal they can’t be reached."
Qi Junrui nodded and said, "I thought so, I tried calling several times but couldn’t get them."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Qi Junrui left.
Shen Juan leaned over mysteriously: "Could he be our Luo Chen’s rival in love?"
Luo Qiao gave Shen Juan a sidelong glance: "My daughters have no interest, and your Luo Chen hasn’t taken any action. It’s fruitless, the kids’ matters, we shouldn’t interfere. Don’t bring it up in front of me, it’s pointless."
Shen Juan said, "Looks like our Luo Chen really needs to work hard. This girl is talented; many are interested in her. If they become brothers-in-law, it’s fine, but let’s hope they’re not love rivals."
Luo Qiao glared at Shen Juan, and Shen Juan raised her hands in surrender: "I won’t mention it again, I’ll just encourage our Luo Chen to do his best."
Both of them started laughing.
Ji Lin saw the two whispering: "Enough of you two, is there something I can’t hear? Even if I don’t hear it, I know what you’re whispering about."
Shen Juan laughed and asked, "Then tell us what you think?"
Ji Lin looked at the distant Qi Junrui: "Are you thinking of setting him up with Yanyan and Yueyue?"
Luo Qiao was drinking tea and burst into laughter.
Shen Juan patted Luo Qiao on the back: "Give it a rest, Yanyan and Yueyue are beautiful, smart, and from good families. They don’t need introductions; I bet suitors are lining up for them."
Ji Lin, however, looked at Luo Qiao: "This young man looks proper, and his aura isn’t ordinary. You might want to consider it."
In Chapter 1773, Luo Qiao thought about Ji Lin’s words and smiled: "Alright, you guys just calm down."
Chapter 1773
While they were talking, Xiao Ya, Miao Shuang, and Tiong Qiufeng also arrived. When women gather, the conversation usually revolves around husbands and children.
Only Tiong Qiufeng seemed troubled, and Luo Qiao noticed. She quietly asked, "Qiufeng, I’m going to the restroom; want to come with me?"
Tiong Qiufeng nodded and stood up.
When they came out of the restroom, they didn’t go directly back to the table, but instead found an empty spot on the side to sit down: "Qiufeng, did something happen at home?"
Tiong Qiufeng sighed and said: "Qiaoqiao, could you lend me some money?"
