Chapter 6  : A Good Day

Yu Yao turned her head to look at Qiao Lian beside her. Her calm tone even carried a hint of good humor.

“Look, I’m a beautiful girl with an interesting soul. Would you mind having a sister like me?”

“If you don’t mind, I’ll consider you to have accepted me.”

“Take me away from here, Brother…”

“You just called me master, and now you’re calling me brother?” There was a trace of gentleness in Qiao Lian’s tone that even he himself didn’t notice.

He saw that Yu Yao’s eyes seemed to be sparkling slightly, and he realized belatedly that the cause was tears that were stubbornly refusing to fall.

He reached out his hand to touch Yu Yao’s head and gently rubbed it, his palm moving down slightly to wipe away the tears in her eyes.

“However, seeing that you’re calling me brother, I will do you a favor.”

Yu Yao moved closer to Qiao Lian. “Let’s go, Brother.”

Qiao Lian grabbed Yu Yao’s shoulder and led her over to the luxury car parked by the road.

After taking two or three steps, Qiao Lian felt Yu Yao’s body tremble slightly. Suddenly, she seemed to have lost all her strength and fell softly to the ground.

Third Master Qiao, who had not made contact with women for more than twenty years, reached out and picked up the girl beside him without hesitation.

Behind them, Yu Jue called out “Yaoyao” worriedly. He wanted to rush over but was stopped by the bodyguards.

Qiao Lian ignored the shouts behind him and carried Yu Yao over to the backseat of the luxury car.

Yu Yao didn’t know if it was because of the cold or because she had been dosed with too much medicine, but she felt like she was in an igloo. Only the man beside her and the Maine Coon in her arms could bring her some warmth.

The Maine Coon seemed to have sensed that something was wrong with her. It patted her pale face with its soft paw as if to express concern for the two-legged beast.

Yu Yao only had enough time to flash Qiao Lian a weak smile and say “thank you” softly before she closed her eyes and lost consciousness.

The three members of the Yu family stayed where they were and watched as the row of luxury cars drove off into the night.

It was only when Yu Wan seemed to have escaped the man’s imposing aura that she finally dared to speak.

“Third Brother, how could Elder Sister Yaoyao leave with that man? Would she rather trust an outsider than us? And she even called him brother!”

“That’s right! How could she call that wild man brother?!”

Yu Jue paced back and forth, gritting his teeth as he said, “Yaoyao hasn’t called me brother in a long time. What right does that wild man from God-knows-where have to be Yaoyao’s brother? Brother, do you think this is reasonable?!”

Yu Wan thought that Yu Jue was dissatisfied with Yu Yao and couldn’t help but smile. Yu Lang caught that fleeting smile and his eyes narrowed thoughtfully.

Unlike Yu Wan, Yu Lang knew his third brother well. He knew that Yu Jue wasn’t dissatisfied with Yu Yao, he just felt a bit wronged.

Therefore, Yu Lang was willing to comfort his younger brother.

“If what Yaoyao said is true, then you can imagine the pain she suffered in the mental hospital. You can’t blame her for not trusting us. Give her some time.”

“But that man…”

“That’s the head of the Qiao family, Qiao Lian. A guy like him won’t do anything to Yaoyao.”

“What? That’s Qiao Lian?!”

Yu Jue and Yu Wan exclaimed in unison.

Yu Jue was just surprised by Qiao Lian’s identity.

Other than feeling shocked, Yu Wan was jealous!?Why?! Yu Yao was just a wild girl who had grown up in the countryside!

Why was Yu Yao lucky enough to have been found by the Yu family? She had almost stolen everything that belonged to Yu Wan!

It had not been easy to send her to the mental hospital, yet this wild girl had managed to escape and even ended up meeting the mysterious head of the Qiao family!

If Yu Yao had Qiao Lian as her backer, wouldn’t Yu Wan have to tolerate her in every way in the future? No! Yu Wan made up her mind to never let that happen!

Yu Wan fixed her gaze in the direction Qiao Lian and Yu Yao had left in. She seemed to have thought of something and suddenly relaxed.

Yu Lang didn’t wait until the next day to launch a full-scale investigation of the hospital. As an investor, the Yu family’s request to do an investigation into the hospital was reasonable and they had no reason to refuse.

Yu Wan received a call from the director of the mental hospital. “Wanwan, why is the Yu family investigating the mental hospital? Have they discovered something?”

The hospital director’s head was still bandaged, but he could no longer lie comfortably in a hospital bed. He was already drenched in cold sweat.

“Uncle, how did this happen?” Yu Wan’s tone was full of worry.

“I came to ask you because I myself don’t know!”

“Ah… I think it’s probably because of what Yu Yao said to Eldest Brother and the others.”

Yu Wan comforted him by saying, “But Uncle, don’t worry. Don’t you like to make videos?”

“In order to avoid Yu Yao’s video from getting out, the Yu family won’t do anything to you, right?”
