Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space - Chapter 473
Chapter 473: Chapter 468: Chu Xiaoqiao
An Hao watched Chu Xiaoqiao leave, and thought that Qin Xue’s younger cousin was quite likable despite the rumours about her being spoiled and arrogant. An Hao didn’t find Chu Xiaoqiao to be anything like that from their brief encounter.
Perhaps Qin Xue would be able to get along well with such a cousin.
An Hao shook her head, casting those stray thoughts out of her mind. She decided to first go tell Zhaozi about what she had found out.
“An’an, what have you found out from your investigation?” An Hao was going to look for Li Zhao, but before she turned around, Li Zhao appeared in front of her.
“Well…” An Hao reported everything she had learned.
“Hmm, what I found out is similar to what you said, but who is this unfamiliar lady?
Why was she at our Li family’s banquet? And why did she leave as soon as trouble started, and even more strange, nobody pursued her?” Li Zhao couldn’t figure out who this lady, who had caused a stir with the Gus, was.
As far as he knew, there were no young ladies in the Imperial Capital who walked around with bodyguards.
Li Zhao was trying to think of any young lady in the Imperial Capital who had not appeared before the public. After running through the list, he did think of one – Ms. Nangong, who had recently been the talk of the Imperial Capital. But could it be her?
Li Zhao couldn’t figure out the key point, but in any case, luckily no major commotion had occurred.
Otherwise, this wedding would be a memorable event for them for a lifetime.
“Hey, Zhaozi, where’s my brother?” An Hao didn’t see Xiao Qi and asked in confusion.
“I don’t know either. As soon as I arrived, he rushed out, as if chasing someone.” Li Zhao said somewhat distractedly.
“Chasing someone? Could it be…” An Hao muttered to herself, suddenly thinking of something.
Li Zhao also noticed something amiss, and after exchanging a glance with his wife, they both understood at once.
“Hehe, Zhaozi, it seems that I will soon have a sister-in-law.” An Hao cheerfully told her husband.
“Mm, out of the three of us, two are already married with children. It’s about time our youngest, who’s the same age as us, found someone too. It’s good, so our grandparents and uncle and aunt won’t worry about him staying single.” Li Zhao felt a bit of sympathy for Xiao Qi, who got pushed into blind dates as soon as he returned. Now that he had a special someone, there would be no need for the family to force him into blind dates.
“Yeah, if our uncle and aunt knew, they would definitely be very happy.” An Hao knew very well how eager her family was for her brother’s marriage.
The blame was on their grandfather who made him enlist in the military instead of joining the family business. That created a rift resulting in Xiao Qi not returning home for several years. Now that everyone had finally reconciled, wouldn’t the family be anxious?
When An Hao was little, she got along best with Xiao Qi, so she sided with him. But since their grandfather loved her too, she didn’t pick a side, choosing to remain neutral instead.
“An’an, let’s go and see if our youngest brother has caught up with the person he was chasing.” Li Zhao held his wife’s hand as they walked towards the gate.
Probably no other couple had as laid-back a wedding as them. As long as people showed up, they didn’t have to deal with anything else.
“Zhaozi, isn’t that my brother over there? Why is he alone? Could it be that he didn’t catch up with the person?” An Hao asked her husband, a little disappointed.
“Looking at his dejected appearance, he definitely did not catch up.” As someone who had been through this, Li Zhao understood the loss and sorrow all too well.
“Then my brother must be feeling awful right now.” Seeing her cousin, who loved her the most since childhood, An Hao felt sad too.
“An’an, you go back to the room and rest first, I’ll go have a chat with our third brother.” After persuading his wife to leave, Li Zhao carried two glasses and a bottle of wine to find Xiao Qi.
