Chapter 125 Thank-you Gift
Luo Qiao said, "You’re really overthinking it. I’ve never taken his words to heart. I don’t see the need to take others’ opinions of myself so seriously.
To be comfortable with who I am, to have a clear conscience, that’s enough for me. What’s the point of explaining so much to people who don’t matter? I feel it’s just a waste of time. Better to do something meaningful with that effort."
Song Zhixiong nodded and said, "Well said, you’re quite the girl."
Qiao Yu stood aside, watching Luo Qiao without receiving a single glance from her, feeling somewhat aggrieved in his heart. He feared that this girl was still angry about that day’s incident, that he hadn’t stopped his cousin in time from saying those hurtful words.
But he was also confused at that moment. Who could have known his cousin would say something so classless? Sigh, his cousin seemed bewitched by Lv Fangfang, stubbornly defending that woman. He really didn’t know what to say about him.
Qiao Yu had been watching Luo Qiao all this time, thinking that if not for this girl, he probably would have been in real trouble. Yet, before he’d had the chance to properly thank her, he had already driven her away. He felt genuinely remorseful these past few days.
After some pleasantries, Qiao Yu had wanted to formally visit her family, but seeing Luo Qiao had no such intentions, the Party Secretary stepped in to break the awkwardness, "Why don’t you come in for a drink of water at the brigade office? You’ve come all this way."
Song Zhixiong and his wife also realized that Luo Qiao really didn’t want to interact with them much, either because she genuinely didn’t wish to social climb or because she had been hurt by their son’s words and didn’t want to get involved with them.
Qiao Aihong actually quite liked Luo Qiao, the young girl.
Qiao Yu, afraid his aunt would refuse, preemptively replied, "Then we’ll impose upon you."
