Chapter 257 Is Old Master Shen coming? Who cares?

She kept marveling at it, her eyes practically overflowing with affection.

"Thank you, Auntie. Please have some too."

Qiao Qiao smiled and said thank you, struggling to hold two of the packages in her small hands, and gave the other package back to the middle-aged woman.

"This is for your aunt. I wish her a happy new year and all the best in advance."

"Oh my, this little darling, how can you have such a sweet tongue?"

The middle-aged woman was about to refuse, but after hearing Qiao Qiao's last sentence, she was so delighted that she couldn't bear to refuse.

She looked up at Yan Liti, who was standing proudly to the side, and said, "Sister, this is your daughter, right? You are so lucky."

"Haha, I should call you 'little sister,' this is my granddaughter! But you're right about one thing, I am indeed blessed!"

Yan Liti laughed heartily, thoroughly enjoying herself.

"Grand...granddaughter?" The middle-aged woman froze, staring wide-eyed at Yan Liti in astonishment: "You, you're joking?"

Yan Liti didn't explain further, she just smiled.

She took the bag of candy that Qiao Qiao couldn't hold, unwrapped it, put a small one in her hand, wrapped it up again, and then put it all into the net bag she had been carrying to her side. Then she hugged Qiao Qiao in her arms.

He walked over to Qiao Changdong, who was still negotiating with the police.

Qiao Changdong has finished his narration.

Seeing Yan Liti bring the person over, he said to the police officers, "Alright, officers, I don't know anything else. I have other things to do, so I won't go back to the police station with you."

Several policemen nodded, even though Chen Xiping was still trying to implicate Qiao Changdong, claiming he was an accomplice.

However, with witnesses and the flower shop owner nearby, the police officers did not suspect him. After exchanging a few more words with Qiao Changdong, they were about to take the individuals involved back to the police station.

Seeing that the police officers were about to leave with their people, Qiao Qiao felt anxious again, remembering that there were still some things she hadn't figured out.

She just couldn't open her mouth; she could only purse her lips and try her best to think.

The little bubble on her head popped out again.

The little figure inside the bubble was jumping around anxiously, pointing repeatedly at Qiao Changdong and Yan Liti at the people being taken away by the police.

The words flashed repeatedly on the side: Investigate them! Investigate them! Investigate them!

Investigate them?

"Baby, are you talking about those thieves?" Qiao Changdong asked.

The little figure inside the bubble kept nodding.

“Okay, Grandma will arrange this.” Yan Liti said.

Qiao Changdong and Yan Liti both felt something was off, wondering what was wrong with these people, but they didn't ask why, and instead believed Qiao Qiao without any reason.

Qiao Qiao finally felt relieved, sucking on the candy in her little mouth, her tightly furrowed brows relaxing.

Later, Qiao Changcai was still worried, so he didn't rush to look at the materials. Instead, he patiently stopped every three steps and strolled leisurely with them through the streets.

Qiao Qiao bought a lot of delicious food, and every time she bought something delicious, she would include her six older brothers and Pei Yiyang and Pei Yuanfan in the bill.

Yan Liti bought a lot of small things to decorate the house.

By the time they reached the last street, Qiao Changdong, Qiao Changcai, and Wang Jun had hung all the things they could on their bodies.

They paid a deposit for those ten kumquat trees, and they'll come back later to load them up.

The five of them strolled around from 7:30 in the morning until 11:30 in the morning.

The five of them went to the Pei family first.

Pei Yiyang came to open the door.

Yesterday, one of the students at Grandpa Mo's martial arts school slaughtered a sheep at home. Grandpa Mo ordered half a sheep and invited several families to his house for mutton hot pot at noon today.

Pei Yuanfan went there early in the morning, and Aunt Wu and Sister Yang were given the day off by Xiang Dongyan.

Only Pei Yiyang remained in the living room, reading a book next to the heater.

Pei Yiyang led the people into the living room, and then Xiang Dongyan came out from around the corner.

Upon seeing the five people, Xiang Dongyan was momentarily surprised.

Then he quickly said to Yan Liti, "Hey, Auntie, you're back. I just got off the phone. It was Comrade Xiao Di from Chief Shen's side. He said that your old chief has arrived and will be here by three or four o'clock this afternoon at the latest."

"The call just ended less than a minute ago. Auntie, do you want to call back and ask about the details? Comrade Xiao Di shouldn't have gone far."

The Pei family's telephone was installed in the small living room next to Pei Anting's study, and there was another door between it and the living room next to the main entrance.

When Xiang Dongyan hung up the phone, Qiao Changdong and the others had just entered the courtyard. They were separated by two gates, and the distance was too far for Xiang Dongyan to hear the noise. Otherwise, she would have had someone answer the phone herself.

"How did he know the address?" Yan Liti frowned when she heard Xiang Dongyan's retelling.

She felt that given her son Shen Qingyan's personality, he shouldn't have given that old man his address.

"It seems that the family that found Guai Guai a few days ago also came. They know each other and just happened to run into each other at the hotel. The old man came with them."

Qiao Qiao didn't care about Old Master Shen.

But when she heard Xiang Dongyan say that Dou Yufeng was coming, she was still very happy and looked at Xiang Dongyan: "Aunt Xiang, is Aunt Dou coming?"

"Oh, right." Seeing how happy the little one was, Xiang Dongyan squatted down and pinched her little cheeks, feeling a little jealous.

He snorted, "My goodness wasn't this happy when she saw me a few days ago, so why is she so excited now that she heard Aunt Dou is coming?"

From the time Qiao Qiao could speak, she learned how to handle the jealousy disputes among her older brothers.

Hearing Xiang Dongyan's words, she immediately obliged, hugging Xiang Dongyan's neck and giving her a kiss on the cheek.

Then, in a sweet voice, she said, "No, Qiaoqiao was also very happy to see Aunt Xiang. Qiaoqiao and her grandma even bought Aunt Xiang a gift."

She pointed to the two kumquat trees that Qiao Changcai had brought in, and said, "Aunt Xiang, look, this is a gift that Qiaoqiao and Grandma specially chose for you. Isn't it beautiful?"

Sure enough, a kiss and a gift.

Xiang Dongyan was instantly overjoyed and completely lost her sense of direction.

He happily hugged and kissed her several times, showing he couldn't get enough of her affection.

As for Old Master Shen coming?

Who cares?

It's up to them whether they come or not.

Nobody took it seriously.

Yan Liti didn't pay any attention and went about her business.

While Qiao Qiao was sorting out the gifts to be given away with the adults, she saw a flowerpot she had specially bought and quickly pulled Pei Yiyang, who was standing next to her, to the small living room.

"Big brother, turn around first, and then turn back when Qiaoqiao calls you, okay? I'll give you a surprise."

After arriving at the small living room, Qiao Qiao spoke mysteriously to Pei Yiyang.

Pei Yiyang gently touched her slightly messy curly hair, and she obediently turned around.

The gift Qiao Qiao gave to Pei Yiyang was a sunflower, which she had promised to give him long ago.
