Qiao Huihe sat up and immediately pushed Shui Anluo’s hand away.
“Because I’m old? Even if I’m doing this to atone for my sins, I shouldn’t be here? Don’t I deserve pity?” Qiao Huihe’s voice was a little sharp.
Shui Anluo pursed her lips and her frown deepened.
“I have no right to give an opinion on the Chu family’s past but I don’t know what source you’re using to define my influence over Chu Ningyi’s life.” Shui Anluo stared at Quiao Huihe without the slightest trace of timidness.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’d use the tactics I used on my daughter to force you to leave Ningyi?” Qiao Huihe sneered.
Shui Anluo smiled bitterly. “Of course I am. How can I not? It’s because of this fear that I ended up quarreling with Chu Ningyi but he said that I shouldn’t judge someone’s actions based on another person’s words,” Shui Anluo said and looked up at Qiao Huihe. “So, regardless of what Senior Brother has told me, I’m still an outsider at the end of the day.”
“You really do see things clearly,” Qiao Huihe remarked but could hold back from coughing.
Shui Anluo quickly reached out and gently patted her on the back. “Director Qiao, you’d better go back with them tomorrow. Otherwise, you’ll only make Chu Ningyi and the others worry.”
“Worry about me? That kid certainly won’t worry about me. If he doesn’t anger me to death, it’s already not too bad,” Qiao Huihe said and coughed again.
Shui Anluo walked over and poured a cup of water. She checked the temperature before handing it to Qiao Huihe. “Director Qiao, you’d better go home.”
“Don’t you want to know what happened that year?” Qiao Huihe was now intrigued by Shui Anluo. This girl seemed to be different from what she had thought.
Shui Anluo sat down next to her again. “No, after all, I’m just an outsider.”
“Outsider?” Qiao Huihe felt a bit better after drinking some water and said, “Don’t you want to be with Ningyi?”
Shui Anluo shrugged her shoulders. “Even if he and I can still be together, that’s still our life. I think I should not question you on your past.”
“You certainly are accepting.” Qiao Huihe waved her hand as she spoke. “Alright, I’m fine now. You can go out and get some work done. However, I’ll maintain that if you want to enter the Chu family, it won’t be that easy.”
Shui Anluo got up and curled her lips. She patted the dust off her body and said, “Director Qiao, Chu Ningyi will turn this difficult feat into an easy one.” Shui Anluo turned around to leave.
“She’s certainly a sharp-tongued girl,” Qiao Huihe remarked and coughed again.
After Shui Anluo walked out, she turned around to check on Qiao Huihe, wondering if she was alright.
“Hey, are you sick or something? What does anything I do have anything to do with you?”
Shui Anluo was lost in thought over the issues with Qiao Huihe when she overheard Qiao Yaruan’s sharp voice. Shui Anluo quickly ran over but just as she arrived, she saw Feng Feng harassing Qiao Yaruan.
Shui Anluo was shaken and quickly rushed over to hold Qiao Yaruan. “Mad man, what’re you doing here?”
“None of your business,” Feng Feng spat angrily. Each time he thought about the scene he had just witnessed, he would be filled with rage. He flung Shui Anluo off immediately.
“Hey…” Qiao Yaruan pushed Feng Feng away and helped Shui Anluo up. When she saw that Shui Anluo was alright, she looked at Feng Feng. “Surname Feng, are you really that sick?”
“Qiao Yaruan, what kind of a place is this? Are you that bold to journey over to any kind of place that you would even come to a place like this?” Feng Feng’s rage was worse than this stormy weather.
Shui Anluo looked at Qiao Yaruan then at Feng Feng. Finally, she softly muttered to Qiao Yaruan, “When you refused to let me call Chu Ningyi, was it because you didn’t want him to find out?”
