Chapter 133 It All Depends on Fate! (Two in One)
Wang Yuanchao was silent for a while and said:
“Brother Qi, I have a sister too, I understand, I won’t hurt Qiao Na.”
Qiao Qi patted Wang Yuanchao on the shoulder and was about to say something when Qiao Na rushed out:
"Brother, what are you doing? Are you bullying others while I'm not around?"
Qiao Qi burst out laughing:
Isn't this a quick change of heart? ? He just told Wang Yuanchao not to do anything rash and not to hurt his sister, but his sister is now protecting him?
He glanced at Wang Yuanchao again, with a hint of jealousy and anger in his eyes, and even the strength of his palms increased:
"Next time you call for dinner, don't forget to call me!"
Qiao Na pouted, very unhappy with her brother who had forced himself on her as a light bulb. With Qiao Qi around, how could she whisper with Wang Yuanchao in his ear?
She raised the book with both hands and tapped Qiao Qi on the back, saying:
"Why don't you treat them to a meal? Oh, I forgot, you don't have a job yet, you can't make money yet!"
Qiao Qi's hands were shaking with anger:
"You~~"
Qiao Na ignored her brother's actions and handed the book to Wang Yuanchao, saying:
"Remember to return it to me after you finish reading it!"
Wang Yuanchao took it solemnly with both hands, stroked it carefully, and put it in his bag with care. Qiao Qi could see it clearly under the street light. What a courageous sister! ? ! I must ask her about it when I get home later!!!
Seeing that Wang Yuanchao cherished it so much, Qiao Na clapped her hands contentedly and said:
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back early and be careful on the road!"
Wang Yuanchao said goodbye to the two of them. As soon as he left, Qiao Qi took Qiao Na back to the house.
"How can you give Dad's book to someone?"
Qiao Na finally broke free from Qiao Qi's iron clamp, stretched her muscles, and said angrily:
"Lend it, lend it! Besides, Yuan Chao is my friend. What's wrong with lending him books? You still have the nerve to ask him to treat you to a meal! It's been sitting at home all day long, do you think it's okay?"
Qiao Qi pursed his lips again and again and squeezed out a few words:
"That's an internal publication, confidential. If it gets out, it will have a very bad impact and will not be good for our dad."
Qiao Na patted her chest and said:
"Don't worry, Yuan Chao knows the seriousness of the matter. I have given him special care. He lives alone in the dormitory, so it won't get out.
Besides, when you go to the army in the spring, I will be alone at home. I will have to find someone to take care of me, right?"
Qiao's father got him a chance to be a navy recruit, which was very rare. These days, children of high-ranking officials have to be especially careful about the impact when they join the army.
Qiao Qi could only warn his sister:
"The intellectuals are very cunning. I just talked to him and he doesn't mean that much to you."
Jonah disagrees:
"We've only talked a few times. If we get to know each other better, everything will be fine. Besides, I'm three years older than him. I understand that he's under pressure. If I put more pressure on him, we might even lose our friendship."
Qiao Qi was a little speechless. To be honest, his impression of Wang Yuanchao was really average—at most, he was just a little talented. But his sister was like a fool, and she always had reasons to defend that boy.
He had no choice but to go into his room helplessly. When he went to the army, he would make sure to arrange for someone in the compound to take good care of his sister.

Jingshan Park
Wang Yuanchao and Liu Qijin's family got together as planned.
Liu's father, Liu Heqing, was gentle and elegant; Liu's mother, Wang Danfeng, was extremely beautiful; as for the beautiful little girl Liu Qijin, she frowned and was worried like Xi Shi.
Wang Yuanchao saw the family at a glance.
Liu Qijin, with her beautiful eyes looking around, quickly spotted Wang Yuanchao, took a few quick steps, even jogged, to meet him.
The Liu couple also quickly followed.
They heard from their daughter that Wang Yuanchao was young, but they didn't expect him to be so young.
They had no choice. In November, Wenhui Daily published an article entitled "A Review of the New Historical Drama", which was said to have been recognized by the old man.
"Peach Blossom Fan" is also a movie story that tells history!
Before the previous ladle was pressed down, a bigger ladle popped out from the other side. How could this be tolerated?
So they had to try to contact the person in the capital who their eldest daughter had mentioned before, who they didn't know whether he was reliable or not, but they couldn't get in touch with him.
In the end, I had no choice but to wait until my daughter finished her exams and then took the train straight here. I thought that what they said was that it should only be discussed with adults, so I waited until my daughter finished her exams and then took the train to come here.
As soon as they met, Wang Yuanchao smiled and nodded to each of them and said hello:
"Mr. Liu, Mrs. Wang, Miss Liu."
The Liu family also responded enthusiastically. Liu Heqing said:
"Comrade Yuan Chao, is it not presumptuous of me to address you like this?"
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"It's just a title. I didn't expect Mr. and Mrs. Liu to come in person."
Liu Heqing's words made people feel like a spring breeze:
"We also wanted to come and visit Comrade Yuan Chao earlier, but my daughter has a lot of schoolwork and has not been able to spare the time. We are staying at the Oriental Hotel. I wonder if Comrade Yuan Chao is free to have a simple meal together?"
Wang Yuanchao waved his hand and said:
"Never mind. It's just a matter of words. No need to be polite. Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one."
The Liu family members all changed their expressions.
This "walk" is not a simple walk! It requires crossing the ocean and being far away from home, right?
Wang Danfeng couldn't help it, and said cautiously:
"Comrade Aiding Korea, it shouldn't be that serious, right?"
Wang Yuanchao shook his head and said:
"That's all I have to say. That's all I have to say. There's no point in saying more. There's no point in saying more."
Liu Heqing became anxious, looked around and said:
"Comrade Yuan Chao, if you want us to leave, you have to give us a reason, right?"
Isn't it ridiculous that the Liu family is rich and powerful, and Wang Danfeng is a famous movie star. Wouldn't it be absurd for them to leave their hometown just because of a child?
Wang Yuanchao took out an internal reference from his bag, opened it to the pages with bookmarks, and said:
"See for yourselves!"
Liu Heqing took the internal reference, and the couple saw the internal speech, comments on some sports, routes, etc. After reading it, Liu Heqing was puzzled:
"Probably, isn't it?"
Wang Yuanchao couldn’t say much. After all, who would have thought that it would turn out like that?
He quickly took back the internal reference, put it back into his schoolbag, and said:
"There is no other way. If you leave early, you can still go. If you leave later, you can't go.
I also know that we are all strangers and have no relationship with each other, so this kind of advice is very heavy.
I know you have your own judgment, and I am only giving you the biggest reminder for Miss Liu's sake.
This kind of thing depends on fate."
Wang Yuanchao's words were so decisive yet he seemed to have a laissez-faire attitude, which made Liu Heqing and his wife look at each other in bewilderment.
Isn't this person here to ask for benefits? At least if he wants benefits, he won't talk like this.
So, you're attracted to the eldest daughter?
The young man is good-looking and talented. He lives in the capital, so I think he has a good background, so it's not impossible.
But Liu Heqing still carefully pointed his right index finger to the sky, trying to confirm it again, and said:
"Comrade Yuan Chao, tell the higher-ups..."
Wang Yuanchao's face turned stern and he said:
"I am just an ordinary person. I got to know some more information by chance. That's all. I have said everything I need to say. I still have a mission to complete. Mr. Liu, Mrs. Wang, Miss Liu, please excuse me first!"
He bowed and walked away quickly.
I walked hurriedly and prayed in my heart: I have said everything I can say. Whether you leave or not depends on your fate.
The Liu family members looked at Wang Yuanchao who came and left in a hurry, and fell into confusion. What was going on? He was just criticized and had to review himself frequently, but the other party actually advised them to leave?
Is it playing hard to get, or?
However, the call was never connected, so it didn't seem like they were the ones who came here on their own initiative.
Liu Heqing said to his eldest daughter:
"Did this comrade who aided North Korea create the song 'Love My China'?"
The eldest daughter looked at her mother Wang Danfeng, and Wang Danfeng said:
"If the other party really works in the Railway Art Troupe, then that should be it. Should we listen to it?"
Liu Heqing's brows were twisted into a "川" shape, and he said:
"I feel like our trip was a bit weird."
Liu Qijin lowered his head, not daring to look at his parents or speak. Fortunately, Wang Yuanchao also wrote "Love My China", but he persuaded them to leave. This was really ridiculous. But because of this, Liu Heqing and Wang Danfeng felt that the other party would not lie about this matter. Internal references are not available to everyone. Even their family cannot see this level of internal references.
But leaving is not an easy thing.
The family walked in the park for a while and discussed whether they should visit again. After all, they had prepared some "gifts" that had not been sent out yet.
But they also knew that Wang Yuanchao no longer lived in the courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang. If he didn't tell them where he lived, it would be bad news if they insisted on asking.
The discussion was fruitless, so they had to return to the Oriental Hotel.
Sometimes, ignorance brings peace of mind, but when you know too much, you become worried and don’t know how to choose.
This is not an easy decision to make.
……
Wang Yuanchao put the Liu family affairs aside and devoted himself to collecting creative materials.
He went back to the courtyard first.
Only my younger sister Wang Li, who was on winter vacation, was at home, cleaning the house.
"Where's the second brother?"
Wang Li looked up and saw that it was his third brother. He said:
"He's lining up to buy food! He has to line up to buy the meat, fish, and vegetables for his wedding during the Chinese New Year and the second day of the Lunar New Year!"
After hearing what Wang Li said, Wang Yuanchao realized that buying groceries was also an important event during the Chinese New Year.
"Come on, follow me to the backyard and help the deaf old lady clean up her house!"
Wang Li put his hands on his hips and was about to stand up to retort: You don’t come to help your own sister, but you drag your own sister to help others. Is that unreasonable?
But when Wang Li had just straightened his back, what caught his eye was a purple-red five-cent coin, one corner of which was pinched by his third brother, and it was swaying firmly in the air.
She immediately showed an embarrassed smile, but her hand swiftly put the coin into her pocket and said:
"Today I will listen to you, Third Brother, and learn to be a good person and do good things! Let's go!"
As for the house, she would wait for her second brother to come back from shopping and then clean up together. It was not like she lived alone at home, so her second brother would be more looking forward to seeing the house clean.
Wang Li followed Wang Yuanchao through the middle courtyard and headed towards the backyard.
I saw that the third brother greeted everyone he met, smiling and saying hello. Wang Li had no choice but to follow suit. She was disdainful in her heart, especially for some families.
The door curtain of the deaf old lady's house was open, and voices could be heard from inside.
Wang Yuanchao's voice arrived before his men arrived:
"Old lady, my sister Wang Li and I are here to help you with the cleaning and the New Year celebrations."
The deaf old lady was very happy, and came over with trembling feet, saying:
"I mean it, no, no.
Don’t you have your aunt to help? Xiao’e is also helping this year. The old lady’s house is so small, so she doesn’t need so many people. She doesn’t need so many people.”
When I looked into the room, sure enough, Auntie Lou Xiao'e was busy.
Wang Yuanchao greeted the old lady first, and then greeted Lou Xiaoe, but his eyes said: You don’t want to clean up your small courtyard?
Lou Xiao'e gave him a look in return, but Wang Yuanchao didn't understand.
Wang Li quickly picked up a rag and started to wipe the window glass.
What a deaf old lady! If she is not allowed to help, what if Third Brother asks for the five cents back?
Even if I don't want to go back, what if I want to arrange other things?
It's better to clean the house! There are three of us here! ! The money is so easy to get! ! ! If you make 50 cents a day, you have to make 15 cents a month!
She had never felt that Auntie and Lou Xiao'e were so kind.
She would not give her third brother any chance to regret.
Wang Yuanchao seemed to feel that just helping with cleaning was not enough, and said:
"Old lady, have you bought the vegetables? How about I ask my second brother to bring some for you as well?"
A lady interrupted:
"Hey, don't worry! The old ladies are spending the New Year with us!"
The deaf old lady's face was as bright as a chrysanthemum, and she nodded repeatedly.
Okay, that's it.
Then Wang Yuanchao said:
"Then old lady, Wang Li is here, accompanying Auntie Yida and Sister Xiao'e to help you clean up. I have some things to do at work, so I'll go there first!"
He emphasized the word "unit", and he didn't know whether Lou Xiao'e understood it or not.
After Wang Yuanchao left, the deaf old lady praised Wang Yuanchao to everyone.
After a while, Lou Xiao'e said:
"Old lady, since Wang Yuanchao and Wang Li are here to help you, I will go home and help my parents clean up!"
The deaf old lady smiled and said:
"Go ahead, go ahead. You've worked hard, kid!"
A lady also joked:
"Indeed, Ezi is very diligent and quick in her movements. I can't catch up with her!"
Only Wang Li silently complained in his heart: One less helper. He still smiled and said:
"Then Sister Xiao'e, please go back quickly! I and Auntie will leave this place to you!"
Ever since Lou Xu got divorced, she couldn't call her Sister Lou anymore, so she just followed her third brother and called her Sister Xiao'e.
Lou Xiao'e wiped her hands and said hello and goodbye to everyone happily.
……
Wang Yuanchao's Dormitory
All the precious medicinal materials that had been placed there before have been moved to Lou Xiao'e's small courtyard, but the bedroom is still the same as it was when they moved away. Wang Yuanchao has never taken care of the bedroom's hygiene at all.
He thought that since he wasn't going to live there now anyway, he could just wait until spring came and remodel the bedroom partition.
But Lou Xiao'e was a bit of a germaphobe and couldn't bear to watch it, so she started cleaning.
Wang Yuanchao came back with food from the company cafeteria and sure enough, Lou Xiao'e was there.
So he invited her to eat first.
"How about going shopping with Teacher Delia this afternoon and showing her our culture and customs?"
Lou Xiao'e glanced at Wang Yuanchao and said:
"Okay. Do you want to bring her to our courtyard as a guest?"
Wang Yuanchao thought for a moment and said:
"Have you packed up over there?"
Lou Xiaoe rolled her eyes and said:
“Packed up!
All the matching furniture was placed in the main house, and the rest were placed in the side rooms and warehouses.
How much old furniture do you want to collect?"
Wang Yuanchao stuffed his mouth full, swallowed it quickly, and said:
"As long as it's real stuff, why not? How much did you collect? It's not even enough to fill up a room!"
Lou Xiao'e carefully picked up the food and ate it, but she was thinking, "You can go ahead and do it. I'm the only one who has room for you!" So she said:
"Okay, I'll listen to you anyway."
Then he said casually:
"By the way, this courtyard is considered a new house, right? Are we going to spend New Year's Eve there? If not, I can go home and have a New Year's Eve dinner with my parents. I'm alone now anyway."
Wang Yuanchao saw through her thoughts and said with a smile:
"How about I eat a few bites at Siheyuan and then go to Xiaosiheyuan?"
Lou Xiao'e pretended not to care:
"Thank you for your hard work, busy man."
