My Identities Were All Exposed After I Was Pampered by Everyone at My Grandfather's House!

170 Anxiety Resolved

On the fourth day after the old master’s return, Qiao Yue finally met her alleged playboy first uncle.

Qiao Ren’s appearance indeed earned him the right to be a playboy. Unlike Qiao Xuan’s gentleness and warmth, or Qiao Jing’s aloofness, Qiao Ren exuded a bad boy aura. He was slightly frivolous but not offensive. His actions were measured, and he still carried with him the upbringing of a prominent family.

Qiao Yue sized up her first uncle with a little surprise in her eyes. After meeting Qiao Yi and Qiao Li, she never expected Qiao Ren to be like this.

As for Qiao Ren, he was obviously stunned when he met Qiao Yue. After the old master introduced them, he only greeted Qiao Yue coolly. This surprised Qiao Yue. She thought that Qiao Ren would say something to her, but he didn’t.

The first meeting was just an interlude. The next few days were relatively peaceful, and Qiao Yue seemingly entered early retirement.

She woke up early every day to prepare medicinal cuisine for her grandfather. During the day, she would either study or accompany the old master. After dinner, she would take a walk with the old master. Basically, all her attention were on her grandfather. The old master’s health improved under her meticulous care.

As for Qiao Ren and his brothers, they didn’t cause any trouble recently. Qiao Ren was well-behaved and basically stayed home. He didn’t go out to party, but his relationship with the first madam was cold. Occasionally, he would stare blankly at Qiao Yue’s face.

Qiao Li knew his place and often went to the Qiao corporation to oversee things, while Qiao Yi was eager to do something. But as soon as he tried, he was caught red-handed by the police of C-Country and brought to the police station along with his merchandise.

“According to the latest from the police, Wang and Zhou colluded with foreign criminal gangs to smuggle abducted women into the country, while Li and Sun waited to receive these women at the border of Bai County in F-City. Zhang and Wu were responsible for selling the abducted foreign women to the rural villages in N-City and other places…”

When the old master saw the news, he could not help but slap his thigh and cheer, “As expected of the C-Country police, they are so efficient!”

As he said this, he glanced at the ashen-faced Qiao Yi and added, “One must do things with a conscience. If one keeps thinking about making ill-gotten money, one will get into trouble sooner or later.”

Qiao Yue chuckled as she listened. She had heard from Chu Jia this morning that the person who had received the information from her had called to share the good news last night. He said that he had been recognized for this operation and would be promoted soon. This meant that their men could gradually infiltrate the police force.

Qiao Yue didn’t forget to sigh in her happiness. Qiao Yi had really gone against the wind and committed crimes.

The conclusion of this matter seemed to have resolved an anxiety for the old master; he even had an extra bowl of rice.

After the news, Qiao Yue watched other television programs with the old master. Seeing that no one was paying attention, the third madam gave the first madam a look. The first madam frowned slightly but didn’t say anything.

While the old master was recuperating, Qiao Yue’s injuries were also healing. Because of Qiao Yi’s example, the others dared not stir up any trouble. However, because of the old master’s favoritism towards Qiao Yue, the atmosphere at the Qiao residence was tense, like a string wound so tight that the slightest movement would snap it.

Just like today. When news about the old master bringing Qiao Yue to the company for an inspection tour broke, everyone at the Qiao residence was shocked. Except for the few family members who couldn’t leave school, everyone was present.

Qiao Ren and the first madam sat on opposite sides, looking nothing like a married couple. The first madam kept eyeing her husband to sit with her, but he ignored her.

Qiao Yi sat gloomily on the sofa, his eyes giving Qiao Yue hateful glares from time to time. Qiao Li and the third madam seemed to be on good terms, sitting together and occasionally leaning close to chit-chat.

The old master slowly descended the stairs, his old but dignified eyes scanned the people waiting in the living room. “You guys are home too?” The old master’s gaze fell on Qiao Xuan and the other two grandchildren.

Qiao Xuan smiled gently and said, “Grandpa, we have no objections to your suggestion. It’s just that your health isn’t good, so we wanted to accompany you for the inspection. If you don’t like it, we can hang back.”

Qiao Xuan specifically mentioned that the old master was not in good health. He didn’t just say that for the old master’s benefit, but for the others.
