Mr. Xiao’s Unconditional Love

Chapter 95 - Someone Is Looking For You, Lu Beixiao



“Ye Qiao, do you not remember saving daddy’s life in your previous life?”

Ye Qiao stopped walking as she heard Xiaogun speak.

“When did I save him? Other than the night before we were married, we didn’t have any interaction at all, right?” She could not remember when they had interacted before their wedding day besides the day she got a heatstroke.

“The summer break in the second year of your degree. Do you remember that you went to Y District with Li Yun and Shen Xichuan, inside the hotel…” Xiaogun reminded her.

Ye Qiao’s memory returned to that summer break… she remembered that she saved someone, but it was not Lu Beixiao.

It was a man who was badly injured and had a beard on his face.

“Wait! Do you mean that the man with so much facial hair on his face was him, Xiaogun?!” Ye Qiao asked agitatedly.

“Daddy was a spy at that time and he disguised himself! You fool!” Xiaogun was annoyed, as he explained.

Ye Qiao was stunned and remained frozen as she stood in the busy crowd. A moment later, she slowly walked toward the square and sat on a long bench to recall the events of that day.

Student ID: 19960602

Origin: J City

School: City University, J City

Ye Qiao from J City!

He found the name familiar when he saw it, but he was only certain that it was her when he saw that she was from J City!

The man who was wearing a black t-shirt and jeans with big-headed leather shoes turned around and fixed his gaze at the corner.

Meanwhile, the girl who was hugging her knees while bare feet who had her long hair laid on the jacket wrapped around her body was looking at him with a pair of watery eyes and two lines of tear marks on her palm-sized face.

Silly girl! When was the last time he saw her? Oh, that was the day she almost died from the heatstroke! She was kind of arrogant at that time and even tricked him despite him trying to help her.

Nevertheless, he felt sympathy for her now as he saw her terrified expression.

What a coincidence that he would bump into her like this! Involuntarily, he walked toward her and squatted before her. Ye Qiao quickly moved backward as she was fearful of what he might do. Unfortunately, there was no room for her to escape.

The man’s rough-skinned fingers locked on her sharp, fragile chin as though it could easily break her chin at any time if he applied a greater force. However, he did not. Instead, his rough fingers were rubbing her soft and pinkish lips like sandpaper. “Don’t ever mention a single word if anyone asks you about the incident that happened last night, understand?”

Ye Qiao quickly nodded. She could not wait to remove those memories even without him having to say that!

A man had seen her naked out of nowhere! How disappointed would Shen Xichuan be if he knew about this!?

“It’s not safe here, you should go home as soon as possible! See you… again!” He got up and left hurriedly after saying that.

Did he say, ‘see you again’!?

She would rather not meet him at all if it were possible!

In her previous life, she had blocked out the memory of the beardy man who had seen her naked body! But now, Ye Qiao, who was still sitting on the long bench, slowly withdrew herself from those memories.

She never thought that would be… Lu Beixiao! They did meet again!

She would never have recalled that incident if it was not for Xiaogun!

“Why did he not tell me that he was that man, Xiaogun?” When had the man actually fallen for her?

“Daddy was on a mission and he had to keep it confidential!”

“How about when we bumped into each other at the pub? Was he there to see me? Was he?” She asked excitedly.

“Yes, you would have been screwed by that old man because of your “best friend” if my dad wasn’t there that night! But you hated him!” Lu Xiaogun was still annoyed.

That idiotic Ye Qiao was so ungrateful despite having the best thing in her life! What was so bad about Xiaogun’s dad? Snort!

“…” Indeed, it was Li Yun! Ye Qiao wondered how much she hated her…

At that time, she was only thinking about marrying Shen Xichuan, but Lu Beixiao took her virginity away although she was the one who approached him after Li Yun drugged her! Yet, she still hated him!

‘He was conscious!’ Ye Qiao thought that he did it on purpose as she recalled the incident; how else would he get to marry her so easily?

“How would I know if he didn’t tell me? He has his responsibility too. He was so arrogant and dominant but passionate…” The more she said, the more she got depressed and sad for Lu Beixiao in his previous life.

The girl he loved so much was only thinking about another man… what made him more depressed was that there was no way the man could compete with him at all!

“Xiaogun, mummy and daddy definitely wouldn’t repeat what we have gone through in our previous life. We’ll be a loving couple!” After she was reborn, those tragedies in her previous life were yet to happen… she wished that Lu Beixiao and her would have an ordinary relationship, get married, and then have their own child.

Xiaogun remained silent, but a smile appeared on Ye Qiao’s face as she remained seated on the long bench. Love and fate was such a magical thing…

Later, she continued her shopping; however, she could not recall where she could get ‘little umbrellas’ at that time.

A moment later, she finally saw a shop outside a hospital with the signage – ‘Adam & Eve’.

In fact, she was impressed with the creativity of the shop’s name! Ye Qiao was truly amazed.

She entered the shop as the crowd watched behind her with a strange gaze. That girl was not shameful at all!

“Look, Ms. Zhenzhen! She went inside that kind of shop!” Chen Ya said with disdain as they were standing under a big tree across the road. In fact, Ye Zhenzhen and Chen Ya tailed Ye Qiao all the way.

“What kind of shop is that?” Ye Zhenzhen, who was still naive as she was only 16 years old, asked curiously.

Chen Ya’s face was flushed as she whispered beside her ear.

“Gosh! Shame on her!” Ye Zhenzhen cursed.

“Exactly! Shame on her! She must have hooked up with someone and that’s the reason she is buying those sorts of things! She even went into the lingerie shop! Her mobile phone must have been given to her by that man!” Chen Ya tried to spice things up.

“Perhaps, she is someone’s mistress, just like her mother! Shame on them!” Ye Zhenzhen said angrily.

Ye Zhenzhen would never acknowledge that Ye Qiao’s mother was her father’s first woman; she was all but a mistress in her eyes!

Meanwhile, Ye Qiao had already seen Madam Qin’s car at the entrance when she returned to the residence. It was never a good thing whenever she was around!

“Xiaogun, could you tell me if Madam Qin is here to pick on me?” Right after she finished talking, Chen Ya came out from the house and greeted her with a smile, “You’re home, Ms. Qiao Qiao!”

Xiaogun remained silent. It was not convenient for Ye Qiao to hide the things in her backpack as Chen Ya was watching. The worst part was that her grandfather was not at home as he was out playing chess with the retirees at the recreation lounge.

Indeed, Madam Qin was elegantly sitting on the couch when Ye Qiao arrived at the living hall. However, her smile did not show any good intention.

“Where did you go, Qiao Qiao?” Madam Qin asked with a smile.

“It’s none of your business!” Ye Qiao did not want to entertain her and was about to go to her room before Ye Zhenzhen stopped her. That little princess finally showed her true face as she stopped pretending to be a good girl since her grandfather was not in.

“Mom! Chen Ya and I saw her go into that kind of shop just now! She even went to the lingerie outlet too! There’s also a mobile phone in her bag! She must have spent the 20,000 or more that you gave her on that phone!” Ye Zhenzhen said loudly.

“Qiao Qiao! Is what Zhenzhen said true?” Qin Lan stepped forward and interrogated.

Qin Lan behaved like a mother lecturing her child. Ye Qiao was about 168cm tall, so both of them looked about the same height even though Qin Lan was wearing a pair of heels.

Besides that, Ye Qiao was no longer the naive and cowardly girl who used to hunch and get terrified whenever she saw Qin Lan. Expressionlessly, Ye Qiao was now standing upright before Qin Lan as she gazed at her with a very strong charisma, making Qin Lan feel a little uneasy.

However, she was Qin Lan, so why would she afraid of a b*tch?!

“Qiao Qiao, did you spend the 20,000 plus I gave you to buy a mobile phone? How did you become so materialistic at such a young age? That’s to help your foster parents!” Qin Lan was extremely loud to the extent that three other aunties came over too.

“I didn’t!” Ye Qiao answered coldly.

“She lies, mom!” Ye Zhenzhen quickly interrupted evilly. She even made a call to get her grandfather home. It was about time for a good show since grandpa was reaching home soon!

Ye Zhenzhen was going to make Ye Qiao embarrassed today to teach her a lesson for showing off!

“Yes! I saw her keeping the mobile phone beside her pillow!” Chen Ya seconded. Chen Ya could not accept that Ye Qiao became so prim and proper even though she came from the countryside. On the other hand, she was born in the city but she was just the daughter of the house helper! Unsurprisingly, Chen Ya was always jealous of Ye Qiao and could not prevent herself from being psychologically affected.

“Who was the one to allow you, the daughter of a helper, to come in and out from this house as you like, Chen Ya? Get out of here as you don’t have the right to talk to me!” One of the house rules of the Ye family was that the helpers were only allowed to wander around in the house when they were working. Otherwise, they should stay in their own dorm. In fact, that was not the first time Chen Ya broke the rules.

Chen Ya’s face became flushed as she was embarrassed. Auntie Fang, Chen Ya’s mother, who was the house helper, quickly hurried in and pulled Chen Ya out from the house.

Old Master Ye had reminded her several times about that issue; hence, she quickly intervened as she did not wish to lose her job with such a good salary.

“Ye Qiao! Stop switching the topic!” Qin Lan urged.

“Auntie Qin, are you sure I’ve spent the money that you gave me to buy the mobile phone?”

“I’m your stepmother, Ye Qiao! Hence, I have the responsibility to guide you and teach you so that you don’t go down the wrong path! I believe what Zhenzhen and Chen Ya said since they witnessed it. Why don’t you open your backpack and show us since you deny it?” Qin Lan believed that Ye Qiao had the things which the two little girls mentioned in her bag!

Qin Lan would like to know if Old Master Ye would still insist on protecting Ye Qiao if he knew what she had done!

In fact, Qin Lan was very upset with Ye Qiao about the unhappy incident that happened a while ago. She was getting more and more irritated by Ye Qiao and slowly feeling insecure as the girl was getting prettier and smarter than before. Furthermore, she started to look just like her biological mother!

And now, it seemed that Ye Qiao was as slutty as her mother! Hence, Qin Lan would be able to catch her red-handed. Apparently, that b*tch (Ye Qiao) has shown her true colors now!

Ye Qiao took off the backpack from her back and held it in her hand. Meanwhile, Ye Zhenzhen, who had lost her patience, quickly seized the bag!

She unzipped the bag right away as she got it from Ye Qiao.

“What are you doing, Zhenzhen?!” Old Master Ye asked with a heavy tone and in a rather upset manner.

Ye Zhenzhen quickly got up. “Grandpa! Sister had spent the money mummy gave her on a mobile phone. She even bought… something embarrassing this afternoon!”

“Dad! Zhenzhen and Chen Ya had seen everything! They saw her buying “family planning” items!” Qin Lan continued to rub it in.

Old Master Ye, who was covered with gray hair, walked into the living hall with a thermos flask in his hand. “How could you simply search your sister’s bag, Zhenzhen?! That’s definitely your mistake to search someone’s belongings regardless of what is in there!”

In fact, Old Master Ye was not favoring her elder granddaughter but commented on the action of his younger granddaughter searching others’ personal belongings. He considered it to be rather rude behavior and was extremely upset by it!

Flushed and panicked, Ye Zhenzhen, who usually pretended to be a highly educated and courteous princess, sought help from Qin Lan as she finally realized her rude behavior.

“Please don’t take it seriously, dad! Zhenzhen was pissed off because of her sister’s misbehavior! You should know that she is always a courteous and lovely girl; she must have been really upset about what her sister had done!” Qin Lan quickly explained on behalf of her precious daughter.

Meanwhile, Old Master Ye snorted as he took his seat on the couch. “Did you say that Qiao Qiao bought a mobile phone with the money you gave her? Do you have any proof?”

“She has a mobile phone, dad. Chen Ya saw it too!” Qin Lan became more aggressive again.

Ye Qiao remained silent as she stood at the corner.

“I’ve seen the mobile phone! Qiao Qiao already told me about it. It was given to her by a businessman as a reward for helping him to close a deal in N City! Meanwhile, Xiao Dong has received the 20,000 plus you gave to Ye Qiao to send to her foster parents!” Old Master Ye spoke calmly.

In fact, Ye Qiao notified him as soon as she returned so that he would not need to worry about it.

Ye Zhenzhen was stunned as she got someone to call her grandfather home in order to embarrass Ye Qiao, but her grandfather eventually stood up for Ye Qiao instead!

“What kind of business deal can such a young girl like her close? I definitely don’t believe it, dad… Do you think she was fooled by a businessman out there?”

Obviously, everyone got Qin Lan’s message. She was indirectly saying that Ye Qiao had a sugar daddy outside!

Meanwhile, Ye Qiao remained silent with a pair of teary eyes.

“Bang!” Old Master Ye suddenly hit the tea table. “Do you know what you are talking about, Qin Lan?! I know Qiao Qiao better than anyone else throughout the six years she has spent with me!”

Ye Qiao was deeply touched and grateful to hear what the old man said. In fact, grandpa was the only one in the Ye family who treated her genuinely nice! Thus, she was not going to let him down in this life!

“You’re biased, dad! You’re always on her side! Why is she buying those “family planning” goods if she doesn’t have a man outside?! It must be inside her bag!” Qin Lan was certain and she could not be bothered to pay her respect to the elderly man anymore. She argued with her father-in-law as she could no longer wait for everything to unfold.

Ye Qiao, who remained silent since the beginning, finally took a step forward with a pair of teary eyes.

“What if I don’t have the things you talked about in my bag, Auntie Qin?” Ye Qiao asked loudly with tears in her eyes.

“I’m sure you have it! I watched you enter the sex toy shop ‘Adam & Eve’!” Ye Zhenzhen said agitatedly.

“Are you sure? Great. Let me show you everything inside my bag then!” Ye Qiao said as she grabbed her bag and flipped it upside down after unzipping every single pocket. She poured everything out!

There was a mobile phone, new exercise books, a hairband, a purse, and nothing else. She even opened the hidden pocket inside the bag.

“How is it possible!?” Ye Zhenzhen doubted her eyes, and she quickly opened the new exercise books and searched them.

“Stop searching, Zhenzhen! I was just asking for directions in that shop! Now, do you think you should apologize for accusing me?!” Ye Qiao shifted her gaze to Qin Lan with a pair of teary eyes.

“I… I…” Ye Zhenzhen could not say anything else.

“Ye Zhenzhen! You must apologize to your sister!” Without considering Qin Lan’s feelings, Old Master Ye furiously instructed Ye Zhenzhen as he hit the table again and stood up.

He could not believe that both the mother and daughter worked together to be bullies! It happened in his own family, right under his nose! Old Master Ye was genuinely sad for his eldest granddaughter, who had lost her parents since she was young.

“You too, Qin Lan! You have always had a prejudice toward Qiao Qiao, and I am certainly aware of it! That was Ye Shengxun’s mistake, and it has nothing to do with Qiao Qiao! You must apologize to her today and bring Zhenzhen home after you are done with your apology! Stay home as long as possible!” In fact, Old Master Ye was not a patient person. He looked furious when he got angry!

“Pakkk!” Qin Lan slapped her precious daughter, Ye Zhenzhen!

Qin Lan was a cunning woman, the only way to protect her ego now was to give up on her daughter.

“Are you going to badmouth your sister again, Ye Zhenzhen?! How could you do that to your sister? Do you know how much I trusted you?!” Qin Lan cursed as she pointed at Ye Zhenzhen after slapping her.

Half of Ye Zhenzhen’s face turned red and a mark with five fingers was left on her cheek.

Qin Lan was truly ‘amazing’!

Silently, Ye Qiao laughed sarcastically.

“Mom, I… I heard it from Chen Ya. I didn’t want my sister to take the wrong path!” Ye Zhenzhen cried as tears rolled down her cheek after she regained her attention.

Like mother like daughter! Ye Zhenzhen was truly a fast learner!

Ye Qiao sighed silently as she genuinely thought that Ye Zhenzhen should register herself at the performing arts academy! Otherwise, her talent would be wasted.

However, Old Master Ye was not dumb, and he certainly knew both of them were pretending. He glimpsed at his eldest granddaughter with a helpless gaze as he could not be too harsh to Qin Lan for the sake of maintaining the harmony of the family. After all, he played the role of the leader of the Ye family.

“How did I always educate you, Ye Zhenzhen?! As a lady of a noble family, how could you badmouth others with the helper’s daughter?! How cunning are you!?” Qin Lan lectured Ye Zhenzhen again.

“Auntie Fang!” Old Master Ye summoned, and Auntie Fang immediately came in. “Auntie Fang, go get your salary from Wu.”

In other words, she was fired!

Auntie Fang was about to appeal; however, she quickly retreated as she saw Old Master Ye glare at her furiously.

Grandpa was amazing as he helped her to kick a devil out of the house!

In the dorm, Chen Ya was slapped by her mother. “Forget about studying! You deserve this for bad-mouthing others! I can’t afford to fund you now!”

Initially, she was planning to embarrass Ye Qiao with Ye Zhenzhen today. Unfortunately, she felt as though she had fallen into a frozen lake now, and she wished that she could go back in time so that everything that happened today would disappear! Helplessly, she knew that she could never set a foot inside the residence anymore!

Working for a noble family was often her capital to show off to her peers.

“Look, Qiao Qiao, your sister was slapped by Auntie Qin and also badly lectured, could you forgive her?” Qin Lan asked as she dragged Ye Zhenzhen, whose face was covered with tears, to Ye Qiao. She was still cursing furiously a moment ago!

Gosh! Look at her; she just could not look more awful than this!

“Do you know that reputation is very important to girls, Auntie Qin? Do you think I should not take this incident personally even after being wronged and insulted that way?” Ye Qiao asked with teary eyes.

She was no Mother Mary!

“I’m sorry, Qiao Qiao. It’s my fault! Don’t take it too personally.”

Ye Qiao was not an easy person to bully; hence, Qin Lan was left with no option in front of Old Master Ye but to endure.

“I’m not gonna accept your apology! I’m making a move first, grandpa!” Ye Qiao said in a grieving tone. Swiftly, she shoved everything back into the backpack as tears dripped down her cheek.

The old master was even sadder for his eldest granddaughter now. Pissed off, he yelled as he fixed his gaze on Qin Lan and her daughter, “Go! Is this not embarrassing enough?!”

Qin Lan immediately dragged Ye Zhenzhen out of the house.

“Damn it, Ye Qiao!” Qin Lan cursed as soon as she got into the car.

Then, she turned around and looked at Ye Zhenzhen. “You better excel with flying colors next year and get into J University, Zhenzhen! Otherwise, I’ll definitely teach you a lesson! You must defeat Ye Qiao, understand?”

That little b*tch boasted that she was going to get herself enrolled in J University in front of Old Master Ye despite her lousy result!

“I’ll definitely get into J University, mom! I really watched her enter that shop and she was there for quite a while, mom! I’m sure she was not there to ask for directions!” Ye Zhenzhen cried foul. “I feel that Ye Qiao is not daddy’s daughter… how could the Ye family raise such a shameful daughter!?”

Qin Lan’s facial expression changed instantly when Ye Zhenzhen said that…

“Hahahaha! Xiaogun, you’re indeed my son!” Ye Qiao, who was still pretending to be sad a moment ago, burst into laughter as soon as she returned to her bedroom! She was just acting and pretended that she was depressed!

They acted, so did she!

She used to be easily embarrassed and had been set up by that mother and daughter in her previous life… today was the day she could finally return all the ‘favors’ to them! What an awesome feeling!

Meanwhile, Chen Ya, who was often very irritating, had been kicked out of the residence! She could finally enjoy some quiet time as Ye Zhenzhen would unlikely return before Chinese New Year!

“Lu Xiaogun, hurry up! Tell me what else you can do! Could you bring your daddy back right away?”

“…” Lu Xiaogun remained silent.

“Hey, Xiaogun! Are you ignoring me again? Fine, I’m gonna wash these things first!” She complained as she headed to the toilet with the lingeries in her arms.

While washing the lingerie, Ye Qiao was also wondering what would have happened if Xiaogun refused to help her today. Regardless, she knew that she had to learn to fight against Qin Lan and Ye Zhenzhen as Xiaogun could not help her forever.

It was very quiet during the dinner as only Ye Qiao and her grandfather were in the house.

“Are you still upset, Qiao Qiao? I’m here for you; don’t take it too personally. They will never do that to you again!” Old Master Ye placed a piece of crispy duck into Ye Qiao’s bowl as she seemed to have no appetite.

Ye Qiao was stirring the porridge in the bowl with her chopsticks while her chin was down but did not put any of it into her mouth as if she was still depressed. “I’m feeling much better, grandpa! I used to think that Auntie Qin and Zhenzhen hated me because I’m an illegitimate child, and I was sad because of my identity… However, how could they perceive me in that way just because I decided to stand up for myself and make a change?”

“Qiao Qiao! It’s their fault! You’re very nice! Grandpa likes the way you are now!” Old Master Ye replied as he was still upset with Qin Lan.

Ye Qiao finally put the roasted duck into her mouth with a smile.

“I heard that you often study until late at night nowadays… it’s good to be ambitious, but you should know when to rest. I’ll still love you even if you don’t get into J University! I’m Ye Zhixiong, so my granddaughter would definitely have a bright future!” He added.

Grandpa almost sent her to become a secret agent when she dropped out in her previous life; however, she refused to go and decided to enroll in an ordinary college instead. She was kind of regretful that she did not take his advice as she recalled the situation; otherwise, she might not have died so tragically.

“Sure! Anyway, I’ll still try my best, grandpa! I’ll take care of myself!” Ye Qiao said confidently.

The shooting range was covered with fog for quite a while in the morning.

“What’s wrong with Xiao today? Is he depressed? Was he hit by a bullet again!?” Fang Zhuo asked Ye Cheng as he took a sip of water.

“There’s no signal to call out and we can’t go out of the camp! He is probably lovesick!”

Lu Beixiao removed his helmet and walked toward them as Ye Cheng was talking. Da Sha delivered a bottle of water to him but he was shocked to see Lu Beixiao pour it onto his own head to ‘calm’ himself as soon as he opened the cap.

“That’s hot water, Xiao Lu!” Da Sha reminded him, but it was too late!

“What the f*ck, Da Sha! F*ck you!” Lu Beixiao stretched his fist toward Da Sha, who quickly ran away.

“You should drink hot water as the wound on your arm is yet to heal! I’m thinking of your health!” Da Sha explained as he ran away to escape. Nevertheless, that did not stop Lu Beixiao from almost killing him!

He was not a woman! Luckily, it was not boiling water!

Ye Cheng and the rest burst into laughter as they watched Lu Beixiao and Da Sha run around the shooting range.

Meanwhile, Director Chen shouted, “Someone is looking for you, Lu Beixiao!”

When Lu Beixiao heard that someone was looking for him, the first intuition that crept into his mind was that his girlfriend was here to see him despite him being very angry earlier!

“Yo! Yo! Yo! Someone’s girlfriend is here to celebrate his birthday!” Jiang Hai shouted.

Lu Beixiao was seen running toward the direction of Director Chen!
