The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 257

So for Qiao Wanzhou, making such a decision required tremendous courage.

Qiao's father and Qiao's mother would be angry, and Qiao's mother would call the mother-in-law, which could be foreseen.

So Rong Dai was mentally prepared, and she also had ways to resolve such a crisis.

Although the mother-in-law did not have Grandmother's approval in the matter of the housekeeper, the mother-in-law was not unreasonable or stupid either.

The situation in the Qiao family was complicated, and of course she was also unwilling to wade into these muddy waters, it was just that the cause of the matter was started by herself, and asking one or two questions was within reason.

Sure enough, when she heard Rong Dai's proper attitude, the anger suppressed in Lu Zheng's heart also died down.

"Do you know how much trouble you've caused? The situation in the Qiao family is very complicated, Wanzhou is a rebellious child since she was little, and this time for such a person. For the Qiao family, losing face is a small matter, to put it bluntly, Wanzhou will lose her usefulness."

"Our family is different from the Qiao family. The Qiao family has a complicated background. If Wanzhou loses her value, then her status in the Qiao family in the future..." Lu Zheng sighed, she was best friends with Qiao's mother, but she also knew something about the Qiao family.

Usually Qiao's mother would also complain to her, but she always just comforted and never got involved.

After all, these were the Qiao family's personal affairs.

"In the future, if you are the head of the household, you are still so reckless, being laughed at is the lightest, it will make the Huo Family suffer, and your own reputation will not sound good either."

Lu Zheng admonished her solemnly. She was no different from Rong Dai at first.

As a result, she only suffered before realizing that "kind intentions" could not be used casually at any time.

Used improperly, the one who gets trapped is still herself.

"Thank you, mom. However, there is more to this matter, I will explain it to you and Grandmother after the dust has settled. This will be the last time I do something like this."

Rong Dai firmly promised.

Helping Qiao Wanzhou was already a violation of her principles. Even if she and Qiao Wanzhou were intimate best friends, she still would not easily get involved in the other's feelings.

Even if bystanders can see clearly, the key still lies in how the person involved chooses.

Recklessly interfering in other people's affairs, even just making requests, if things don't turn out as expected, bad luck and no favors gained would still fall on oneself in the end.

Moreover, what the mother-in-law reminded was right. Once she took over the power of managing the household from Old Madam, she would have to weigh things, she must put the Huo Family first.

Helping others like this could only be the last time.

The job of being head of the household was not easy to do well, especially in such a complicated environment, she had to think thrice before acting.

"Alright, since you understand, I won't say any more. Try not to get involved in the aftermath as much as possible."

"Every family has a sutra that's hard to recite. You can't recite the sutra for others, it will cause dislike."

"You're also busy with work these days, spend more effort on your work. The old lady is getting on in years, you have to get familiar with managing the household as soon as possible."

Lu Zheng didn't reprimand her, but solemnly exhorted her and analyzed the situation with her.

Rong Dai obediently responded. After hanging up the phone with the mother-in-law, she also gave herself a wake-up call in her heart.

By this time, Uncle Li had already sent Qiao Wanzhou over.

Seeing Qiao Wanzhou dragging her suitcase, looking lifeless, Rong Dai couldn't help but twitch her eyebrows.

Sure enough, love could make one feel worse than death.

"I... seem to be very disturbing to you."

Looking at Rong Dai's home, everything was so warm, with the smell of flowers in the air, Qiao Wanzhou felt a little uneasy.

Rong Dai handed her a cup of warm water and gave her clean slippers.

"Have a seat first. Fortunately, Shao Ting is on a business trip these days, otherwise I would have rejected your request."

"Thank you."

Qiao Wanzhou took the cup, she had been under a lot of pressure recently. Stripped of the glow of a celebrity, she was just an ordinary person.

"Have you had breakfast? I was about to make some."

Rong Dai was not good at comforting people, because some comfort was often the most useless.

Qiao Wanzhou hurriedly put down her cup, looking at Rong Dai and Huo Shao Ting's cozy love nest, she felt a little bad about her abrupt request for help from Rong Dai.

"Do you need my help? I... I can help you wash the vegetables."

Rong Dai looked back at her with a faint smile on her delicate cheeks.

"Make yourself at home since you're already here. There is security patrolling here 24 hours a day. People coming in and out need to be registered, so there won't be any problems."

Qiao Wanzhou's heart thumped uncertainly, but still rolled up her sleeves to help.

Just as Rong Dai was about to go wash the vegetables and cook, the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it."

Qiao Wanzhou said and went to open the door.

Seeing her here, Lu Nianzhi was not surprised at all. She had already spoken to Huo Shao Ting on the phone earlier.

"Sister Nianzhi, you haven't eaten either, right? It's just nice that we three can have lunch together."

Rong Dai said when she saw it was Lu Nianzhi, then went into the kitchen.

Lu Nianzhi looked at Qiao Wanzhou and took out a string of phone numbers from her phone for her to see.

"Ms. Qiao, this is the phone number of the property manager of Huafu Hill City. In addition to the houses sold, Huafu Hill City also has two duplexes for rent."

"Mr. Huo doesn't like people intruding on his and his wife's private life. This is their love nest. I think staying here would also be inconvenient for you."

"Mr. Huo has already asked me to book a house for you. Toiletries and daily necessities have already been delivered. You can stay there with peace of mind."

Qiao Wanzhou's eyes lit up immediately: "There are duplexes for rent here too?"

She had just realized when she went out earlier that she had nowhere to go, so she reluctantly made this call to Rong Dai.

When she saw that this house was full of Rong Dai and Huo Shao Ting's living atmosphere, she felt very bad about her abrupt request.

Lu Nianzhi nodded with a smile, "I just found out too. The duplexes were originally going to be sold, but given the location, you know, people would rather buy standalone houses than duplexes."

"I just bought the upstairs too, it'll be more convenient for work. The house Mr. Huo rented for you is right under my home. It's just the two of us, very safe."

"Please thank Mr. Huo for me. I really... don't know what to say."

Qiao Wanzhou said gratefully. Although she knew Huo Shao Ting, the two had met only a handful of times since childhood.

She thought the people who would help her would be those closest to her.

In the end, it was Rong Dai, whom she had gotten to know only recently, and Huo Shao Ting, whom she knew but was not familiar with.

"I will. Just don't hold it against Mr. Huo for making these arrangements. Rong Dai has a heavy workload these days. Firstly, Mr. Huo doesn't like people disturbing their love nest. Secondly, it's also to allow Rong Dai to focus on her work."

Lu Nianzhi explained with a faint smile. Everyone was smart. Being more transparent about some things was better.

"I understand." Qiao Wanzhou nodded. Her anxious heart was finally put at ease.

Rong Dai in the kitchen could also hear the two talking and felt both warm and helpless about Huo Shao Ting's approach.

But this was good too, otherwise if Qiao Wanzhou opened this precedence, it would be difficult to refuse similar situations in the future.
