Seeing that Qiao Nian had already put the medicine away, he didn't pursue the topic and worriedly reminded her, "Try to take less of this medicine. If you really can't sleep at night, take one more pill. If you are fine, try not to take it."
"OK."
This was not the first time Qiao Nian had taken this kind of medicine, so he knew what was going on and readily agreed.
After getting her things, she picked up her shoulder bag, threw the medicine in, and prepared to leave.
Wei Lou saw that she was about to leave, so he stopped her and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Let's go home." Qiao Nian took his things and said casually.
Wei Lou immediately frowned: "Where are you from? Didn't the Qiao family kick you out?"
He remembered the phone call he had made to Qiao Nian before, and stared at her instantly: "Are you talking about going back to live with your biological parents?"
Qiao Nian didn’t like getting too close to the opposite sex, so she couldn’t help but take a step back and casually admitted, “Yeah.”
Wei Lou naturally saw her unusual movement of taking a half step back. His eyes darkened, feeling depressed but helpless. He could only pretend that he didn't see it. Out of sight, out of mind: "You just hung up on me a few times and then you had dinner with your biological parents' relatives? You met them, what kind of people are they?"
Qiao Nian recalled and said slowly: "I don't know clearly because I haven't had any contact with him. I only saw my biological father. My biological mother seems to have passed away. The specific reason is still unclear. I will check it out. The rest... Grandpa was very good to me."
“Grandpa…” When Wei Lou heard her address him like this, he knew that she didn’t acknowledge her biological parents, but she acknowledged this grandpa.
Wei Lou's heart sank, and he asked seriously, "Do you really want to stay and find out about your background?"
Qiao Nian didn't know why he kept asking the same question, but she was still patient with him and nodded: "Yes. The fallen leaves have roots. I at least want to know who I am and where I come from."
This reason is impeccable!
Even though Wei Lou wanted to take her away again, he swallowed his breath, frowned and said, "What are you going to do next? Will you go back to Luohe County with your biological father?"
Qiao Nian: "They are people from around the city."
Wei Lou looked puzzled and asked, "From Raocheng? Didn't they say that your biological father is from Luohe County?"
Qiao Nian couldn't explain it clearly: "I haven't figured it out yet. Qiao Weimin told me that they are from Luohe County, but it seems that they are not."
"What's your biological father's name?"
Qiao Nian tried to think about it, but couldn't remember it. He rubbed his nose and didn't like this kind of interrogation-like conversation: "...Last name is Jiang."
"River?"
There is a big family named Jiang in Raocheng, and their roots are deep in the city. The older generation of their family even has close ties with the Ye family in Beijing.
Wei Lou looked at Qiao Nian with deep eyes and put away his speculation.
Qiao Xiaonian’s biological father should have nothing to do with that family.
Qiao Nian had already packed his things and threw a medicine bottle to him from his schoolbag.
Wei Lou caught it suddenly.
Qiao Nian slowly put on her shoulder bag and said softly, "This month's medicine."
Three years ago, a pill that can regulate the root bones began to circulate on the black market in China. It is said that the effect is comparable to the ginseng fruit in Journey to the West. Eating it can prolong life and make people feel refreshed.
As soon as this drug appeared on the black market, all the major forces wanted to get it for themselves. Only three pills were auctioned on the black market every month, and each auction would cause quite a stir.
"Three more?" Wei Lou carefully checked the pills in the bottle. The small white pills looked no different from candy beans.
But one can be sold at a sky-high price on the black market!
