Chapter 354 Jing Family Makes a House Call
Luo Qiao broke into laughter at once, admiring the color of the wool scarf. Indeed, it looked good with any outfit. Luo Qiao said with a smile, "It’s very pretty, thank you!"
Since Yuan Jiahui, the eldest grandson from the first branch, was in the military, Luo Qiao handed over the items to Auntie Song Huizhen to pass on to him. The gifts for the second branch were given directly to the fourth brother, Yuan Jiayi, to take back home.
The gift for Wei Cheng, the younger uncle, would have to wait until he came back to collect it himself.
After eating, Old Master Yuan took Luo Qiao and left, Yuan Jiayi saw that there was nothing for him to attend to, so he also took his things and went home. Jia Ning still had a day left in the dance class she had signed up for, and she could rest tomorrow.
As for Yuan Jiaze, starting from today he would have to join the other kids in the big compound for a six-day joint military training, only returning on New Year’s Eve.
Old Master Yuan took Luo Qiao all the way to a grand mansion. One could tell from the imposing gate that this family was anything but ordinary. They had called ahead, and as the doorbell rang, someone promptly opened the gate.
A man in his forties greeted them: "Old Master Yuan, please come inside quickly. My elder has been waiting for you for some time."
The courtyard was indeed massive, with pavilions and towers standing throughout - it reminded Luo Qiao of the grand estates from the olden days that she had often seen on TV. Aside from visiting tourist sites, this was truly her first time stepping foot in such an expansive courtyard.
They proceeded to the main hall, where a middle-aged man was already waiting at the door. Upon seeing the visitors, he greeted, "Uncle Yuan, my father has been awaiting your arrival for quite some time now," and then also gave a slight nod to Luo Qiao and the security guards following behind.
Old Master Yuan said with a smile, "How has your father been feeling recently?"
The man spoke in a low voice, "Not too well, he hasn’t eaten properly for several days."
