Sweet Beauty

Liang Zixuan's heart sank as she asked anxiously, "Grandmother, what happened?"

"Zixuan …"

Just as Luo Yanyun's voice was heard, Liang Zixuan heard a series of "bang bang" sounds. It sounded like something fell to the ground. Then came the slapping sound.

Liang Zixuan shouted "Grandmother" several times into her phone, but no one answered. Just a loud noise was answering her.

"Something happened! I need to go." Liang Zixuan was shocked and quickly put her phone back in the bag. She stood up and prepared to flee, but Han Yuanjun pulled her back. "What's wrong? It is grandmother?"

Liang Zixuan nodded, her face pale with fear. "Grandmother called, but there seems to be an argument there. Something must have happened. I need to go home and take a look."

Han Yuanjun put down his chopsticks and stood up. "I will go with you."

Today, Qiao Hongya, as usual, accompanied Luo Yanyun to the market to buy vegetables. Although Liang Zixuan had moved to Han Yuanjun's house, they would still come over for dinner every day after work.

Luo Yanyun said that she wanted to improve Han Yuanjun's health, so she bought some pig whips from the market with the intention of giving them to Han Yuanjun to eat at night.

Hearing that, Qiao Hongya immediately laughed at her. "Who told you that he can eat whatever you want? Jun is still young and in good health. You can get him some scallions and cook them with pig kidneys."

Luo Yanyun stared at Qiao Hongya with a flushed face. "If you want to eat, just say so. Don't always use Xiao Han in your argument."

The two walked back from the market while bickering. When they arrived at the entrance of the residential complex, Qiao Hongya was shocked to see three women dragging big suitcases.

The three women, one in their seventies and the same age as them, wore mink fur coats on her bodies, looking dignified and graceful. Still, the pair of eyes that looked at Luo Yanyun were filled with deep hatred.

The other two people, one looked to be in her fifties while the other looked to be in her twenties, were all looking at Luo Yanyun with ill intentions.

When Luo Yanyun saw them, her face darkened. She picked up the vegetable basket and left.

Qiao Hongya panicked for a moment before hurriedly chasing after her. "Yanyun, don't go!"

Luo Yanyun didn't know why she was angry, but she raised her hand to shake him off. "Why shouldn't I leave? Could it be that since you eat and drink for free at my house, now you want to bring your whole family here to eat and drink together for free too?"

When the three women saw that they were arguing, they immediately dragged their belongings towards them. The one in the twenties looked at Luo Yanyun in disgust and asked Qiao Hongya cynically, "Grandfather, is this the nanny our family hired? Why does she have such a big temper, and she still dares to shout at you?! Grandfather, don't humble yourself to her level. If you can't handle her, I'll help you!"

With that, the woman raised her hand to hit Luo Yanyun. Qiao Hongya was furious. He grabbed the woman's hand and threw it away. Then he moved Luo Yanyun behind him to protect her. "Jinjing! What are you talking about?! She is not a nanny, she's my girlfriend!"

As soon as the word 'girlfriend' came out of his mouth, the three women revealed a surprised expression at the same time and looked at Luo Yanyun with jealousy.

Not to mention them, even Luo Yanyun was stunned. What was Qiao Hongya talking about?

First, let's not talk about whether she's his girlfriend or not. Just talking about these three women, wasn't one of them Qiao Hongya's wife in the United States?

What was going on?

Could it be that Qiao Hongya got kicked in the head by a donkey on his way out today? Did he turn stupid?

They just stood there at the entrance of the district, attracting quite a few onlookers' attention.

Qiao Hongya felt embarrassed, so he held Luo Yanyun's hand to prevent her from running away. Then he said to the three women, "If you have something to say, go home and say it. Don't embarrass me here!"

The three women wanted to make a fuss at the door, but they all knew Qiao Hongya's identity. If they cause a ruckus, Qiao Hongya's reputation will be ruined.

If that happened, Qiao Hongya would sever all ties with them. No matter who they were, they would be the ones who would suffer when the time came.

The three women glared at Luo Yanyun. The older one pretended to be dignified and nodded. "Ok, let's go home and talk!"

She deliberately bit into the word "go home" and glanced at Luo Yanyun contentedly.

Luo Yanyun was so angry that she almost died. She wanted to throw Qiao Hongya's hand away, but she couldn't, so she picked up the basket and hit him hard.

Qiao Hongya couldn't dodge in time and when Luo Yanyun hit him, he accidentally released his grip.  Luo Yanyun took this opportunity to run away.

Qiao Hongya panicked and shouted, "Yanyun!" He immediately chased after her.

Seeing Qiao Hongya leave just like that, the woman in her twenties stamped her foot in anger. "Grandfather, who's going to help us carry our stuff?!"

"Jinjing, let's go and catch up." Qiao Biya, the woman who was in her fifties, carried a suitcase in each hand and chased after Qiao Hongya aggressively.

Qiao Jinjing whiningly picked up the last one. "Grandmother, let's catch up first. You should hurry up too!"

Luo Yanyun got out of the elevator and walked to her house. She unlocked the door with her fingerprint and ran in. Just as she was about to close the door, Qiao Hongya rushed out of the elevator.

"Yanyun, listen to my explanation."

"Explain what?" Luo Yanyun looked at  Qiao Hongya with reddened eyes and pushed him away. "Your family came to look for you, but you still want to live with me? Let me tell you,  Qiao Hongya, if it weren't for Zixuan, I wouldn't even let you in my house!"

He even dared to say she was his girlfriend. He really didn't want his old face anymore. He could even say such words.

Not long after, the elevator door opened up and the three women walked out. Seeing Qiao Hongya at the door, they thought that this was the house he was talking about. The three women rushed over and helped Qiao Hongya open the door, barging in aggressively.

Luo Yanyun looked at the three women with malicious intentions and was angered to the point that her body was shaking. "Get the hell out of here! I don't welcome you here!"

"Heh …" When the woman in her seventies heard her words, she laughed in disdain. Not only did she not leave, but she even sat down on the sofa, raised her head, and looked at the house before she looked at Luo Yanyun mockingly. "My family's Old Qiao is so good, to actually buy such a golden house here, he must have spent a lot of money."       

Looking at how Qiao Hongya's legal wife came out to capture her husband and accused her, Luo Yanyun was so angry that she began to cry.

Qiao Hongya was also furious. "Hao Shan, what nonsense are you saying? This is not my house!"

Hao Shan raised her eyebrow and looked at Qiao Hongya in disbelief. "Old Qiao, don't tell me you left our family and came back just for this old woman? You even bought her a house?"
