Chapter 27

Grandma Lu was dressed in a white short-sleeve blouse printed with a colorful floral pattern. Her presbyopic glasses had become a daily essential. With a gentle push, she adjusted her glasses properly so that she could have a better look at the girl. The first thing she noticed was the girl’s elegant and cultured manner.
Ye Qiao maintained her eye contact and kept the broad smile on her face. She was no longer afraid of Grandma Lu. Instead, she was really delighted to see her again.
Back when she was sentenced to imprisonment, Grandma Lu once dropped by to see her, but it was not just a casual visit. Grandma Lu was there to express her indignation against Ye Qiao for everything that she had done. “Ye Qiao! Xiao Xiao is dead because of you! You’re responsible for his death! You have his blood on your hands! What a wonderful man he’d become, and yet you murdered him!”
Ye Qiao dismissed her exasperation, thinking that she just needed to vent her anguish.
Seeing Grandma Lu again reminded Ye Qiao of the things that she once said to her in prison. Every accusation from still echoed in Ye Qiao’s ears.
She used to fight a lot with Lu Beixiao. There had been numerous occasions where she uttered offensive words out of anger, and sometimes, she even cursed him to death.

“Where are you from, young lady? I can’t see quite well,” Grandma Lu returned her gaze with a big smile, too.
“Grandma, I’m Ye Qiao! I live just next door to you!” She finally recovered from her preoccupation and was not shy to introduce herself. Her dimples deepened every time she put on a bright smile on her face.
Ye Qiao? Her name did not immediately ring any bells. It took a while for Grandma Lu to finally remember her. One could only imagine how surprised she was.
All Qin Lan had ever done was to look after her reputation. Speaking of the devil, Qin Lan suddenly showed up with Ye Zhenzhen at the door.
