Chapter 345: The All-Ages Appeal of Young Master Lu

talk about what you're doing at &am;am; or how hard you're working to help Jun Zhi Mu, I have no interest in any of it."Qiao Baoer really didn't like staying in such a cramped space with her. She ope...Old Mrs. Qiao just worried too much, her blood pressure surged and she fainted for a moment, but her body was fine. When Qiao Baoer pushed the door into the ward, the old woman had already woken up.

"Bao'er, how is your father now" The old woman asked her anxiously as soon as she opened her eyes.

Qiao Baoer stood by the old man's bedside, looking into those aged and clouded eyes. Her throat tightened, and she didn't know how to speak.

Grandma Qiao grabbed her hand eagerly, "Bao'er, your father will be fine, he will definitely be fine."

Jo Bao'er listened to her grandmother's hoarse voice repeating softly, as if praying. The aged hand held hers tightly, its grip heavy. Now, she was the old woman's only support.

But she was not a daughter of the Qiao family.

Qiao Bao'er tightly held on, her head bowed low, she softly replied in a whisper, "Grandma, my dad will be alright, don't worry too much."

Grandma Qiao also knew that this wasn't the time to trouble them. She was a rather rational old woman, and she understood Qiao Bao'er's personality very well. She had no airs of a young girl, wouldn't coddle people or offer comfort, but every word she spoke was truthful.

The old man looked at her beautiful face and nodded reassuringly, "Wenyù will definitely make it through this..." a sorrowful whisper.

The doctor walked in to examine the old woman, and Qiao Baoer took a step back.

Just as Gu Ruyue arrived, she saw that the elderly person on the bed had woken up. She was instantly relieved.

Qiao Baoer motioned to Gu Ruyue, and the two walked towards the small balcony inside the ward.

"Doesn't Grandma know anything" Qiao Baoer calmly countered.

Gu Ruoyan was stunned for half a second, not knowing what she meant.

Jo Bao'er turned her head to glance at the hospital bed, took a deep breath, and said, "Grandma must be like me... She doesn't know that I'm not Qiao Wenyu's biological daughter."

"I don't know." Gu Ruyue replied stiffly.

Then don't let her know.

Qiao Baoer said resolutely, "Never let her know."

Gu Ruoyan looked at her in shock, thinking she was distant from the Qiao family...

Suddenly, Gu Ruyi's eyes welled up with moisture. She knew that her niece wasn't like her sister. Her niece was spoiled and willful, but she had a kind heart.

The Qiao family is in such a mess, if you told Old Madam Qiao that her granddaughter wasn't really her granddaughter, she would be utterly helpless.

"What are you talking about" A tall figure approached them.

Jo Bao'er heard the familiar voice and immediately turned to look. It was Lu Qinan.

Gu Ruoyan was not surprised to see Lu Qinnan. She looked around, as if still searching for another man behind him.

But only Lu Qinan came.

Lu Qinan also saw Gu Ruyue's searching gaze and casually said, "Zhimu is outside..."

"Lu Qinan, why did you interfere in Ye Xi's case!"

qiao ba'er interrupted him impatiently, as if she didn't want to hear that name. Her tone was filled with anger, "I said, Ye Xi's traffic accident last time should be handled by the judicial system according to proper procedures. Why do you have to interfere forcibly!"

Lu Qinan was a little flustered by her relentless questioning. He widened his eyes, wanting to retort but afraid to speak directly.

He stammered an explanation, "It was Ye Qian's subjective intention to drive into you. She is definitely guilty. If the Yi family intervened, wouldn't that be too easy on her"

"Did anyone from the Yi family get involved in this" Qiao Bao'er glared at him.

Lu Qinan's eyes darted around nervously, "Yi Sicheng did say he wouldn't interfere, but... after all, Ye Qian is still the Yi family's daughter-in-law. What if they make a fuss about face... We can't suffer losses anyway, it's better to strike first." His voice grew weaker with each word.

Qiao Baoer's face was complicated, bearing it with forbearance.

Suddenly, she stepped forward, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and shouted in a torrent of emotion, "Why do you guys care so much I didn't ask for your help, I don't need your help, I don't need Jun Zhi Mu to worry about me so much!"

"...made my dad have a relapse." The last sentence, Qiao Bao'er's eyes still flickered with some panic.

Lu Qinan froze, unable to move or utter a word.

qiao ba er didn't look at him again, her hands released him, and she turned to look out the window at the pitch-black starry sky. anxiety flickered across her cheek.

"I'm sorry, I don't know..."

Lu Qinan looked at her dejected expression and said weakly, "I sincerely regret it."

What are you talking about

Gu Ruyi listened from the side but couldn't understand what they were talking about, "Bao'er, didn't you say before that Ye Xi drove her car and hit your friend How does this concern you"

Qiao Bao'er did not turn her head to look at them, her eyes glared fiercely at the icy black night.

After a long silence, she whispered to herself, “It’s all my fault.”

Why was I born

Gu Ruoyan knew she was in a complicated and contradictory state right now, so she didn't press further.

Lu Qinan saw their sudden silence and couldn't help but add, "Ye Xi was induced by Liu Yiyin to take a new type of contraband. If Ye Xi can't continue to consume this contraband on time, her emotions will be easily agitated, very violent, and out of control. When she has an attack, it seriously endangers social safety. Zhi Mu ordered her to be confined to a mental hospital, which was also out of safety considerations. We didn't think about..."

Lu Qinan only knew that Ye Wei had always been trying her best to get Ye Xi out. No one expected that Ye Wei would go to Qiao's house to cause trouble, and as a result, Qiao Wenyu actually got excited and had a cerebral hemorrhage.

"I don't know what Ye Wei said, but about Ye Xi's matter, if you want Ye Xi to be leniently sentenced, then I'll go find a way..." Lu Qinian felt very guilty and didn't dare to speak loudly.

Perhaps it was Lu Qinan's sudden lowering of his stance that caused Qiao Baoer to feel a surge of inexplicable emotions welling up within her.

She knew better than anyone that Lu Qinan was helping her because of Jun Zhi Mu.

Her father, Qiao Wenyu's, illness wasn't because of Ye Xi's case, but because Ye Wei brought up her mother... Qiao Baoer knew she was taking her anger out on the wrong people. She was too repressed and couldn't control herself from lashing out at those around her.

"It's none of your business."

Qiao Baoer didn't fire back at Lu Qinian anymore, she turned and walked towards the bedside.

Lu Qinan felt that he had indirectly harmed the Qiao family, and his whole mood was a bit low. He followed Qiao Baier behind him honestly and didn't dare to speak out of turn.

After the doctor briefed Qiao Baier on Qiao Lao Tai's condition, he left. The old woman's body was actually fine, just some common ailments for her age. She needed to pay attention to her emotions and blood pressure.

When Grandma Qiao saw Lu Qinan, she immediately perked up.

The old man grasped Lu Qinan's hand, as if he had seen a savior. "Master Lu, I know you have a wide network of contacts. My Bao'er's father..."

"We brought in the best doctors, and if needed, we can transfer them abroad for treatment. Medicine is very advanced now…"

Lu Qinian was very good at coaxing people. He spoke seriously, and after listening to him, Grandma Qiao seemed to have settled half her mind.

"Our Qiao family only has Bao'er's father as the pillar, and now that his father suddenly had this incident, this old woman of mine is truly in a panic. Master Lu, you are a great benefactor to our Qiao family..."

Lu Qinan is popular with people of all ages. Almost every child and elder who has met him likes him. Old Mrs. Qiao, tears streaming down her face, held his hand and thanked him repeatedly.

"It's alright, no problem."

Lu Qinian was used to dealing with this kind of situation, and he acted very naturally.

"It's true that one knows the worth of a horse only after long journeys, and the heart of a person is revealed over time. Young Master Lu, you have a kind heart. Every time my husband gets into trouble, you rush to his aid. I am truly grateful for that."

Grandma Qiao's aged face was etched with sorrow and regret. "I used to be a fool, I did many wrong things. Now I truly understand, as long as Bao'er and her father are healthy and by my side, our family being together is all that matters. I don't ask for anything else, those who are unattainable and look down on us, forget them all, I don't want them anymore…"

Compared to Lu Qinian, who has nothing to do with this, the Jun family is insignificant and out of reach. It's best to just forget about it.

Lu Qinian wanted to say something, but he glanced at Qiao Baier and decided it was best not to.things and joked, " Qiao Baoer, don't you think your same-sex friendship is really bad."Jo Bao'er thought about it, she did indeed have very few female friends.Xiao Zhu earnestly advised, "When women...
