How I Tamed My Wolfish Husband Back in 80s-Chapter 436 - 438: Cooperation_1

Old Mrs. Qin left the Xue Family after staying for a while.

Li Qiao had already packed her luggage, and she entrusted Mrs. Tao to take care of the house’s cat and dog: "Come over to feed them every day, and walk the dog in the afternoon. It’s okay if you can’t come some days, but please don’t let your child do it, this dog can bite."

Mrs. Tao readily agreed.

After Old Mrs. Qin got home, she sent Mrs. Tao back with the festival gift she had prepared.

Mrs. Tao was extremely grateful and only left after saying goodbye to Baby.

The child, having been inside the house all day, was now anxiously calling for Li Qiao and pointing at the departing figure of Mrs. Tao.

Li Qiao: "You want to go out too?"

"Yeah."

"We’ll go out tomorrow."

The child babbled for a while before Li Qiao understood. "It’s cold outside; it’s not good to go out to play. How about I read you a story?"

The child let out a disappointed "oh."

Li Qiao read two stories and turned to see that the child had already fallen asleep.

She tucked the child in and heard a knocking at the door.

Upon opening the door, to her surprise, it was Su Yu. As soon as he saw her, he got very excited, grabbed her shoulders and said, "I’ve made it work, your partner, where is he?"

Old Mrs. Qin came out from inside: "Qiaoqiao, who is it? You young man, knowing she has a partner, why are you grabbing her shoulders?"

Su Yu quickly let go; he had heard from Li Qiao before that her partner’s surname was Qin and that he had a grandma, so this must be her: "Sorry, Old Mrs. Qin, I was abrupt in my excitement."

Old Mrs. Qin sized him up, a good-looking young man, tall and slender with an academic vibe. Standing next to her granddaughter-in-law, they looked quite well-matched, and she grew a bit wary: "Are you and Qiaoqiao classmates?"

"We went to the same school," said Su Yu.

Li Qiao invited him into the kitchen to sit.

After agreeing, Su Yu excitedly told her while heading inside that he had figured out the operating principles for a national language input method. "Your partner is quite wealthy, right? I want to partner with him for development. He invests the money, and I provide the technology. We could split the earnings. I wonder when he would be free to discuss this with me."

Li Qiao naturally couldn’t have asked for more; if this research could result in a patent, the wealth it would bring was definitely in the billions.

Moreover, as a genius-level developer, Su Yu was sure to achieve even greater things in this field in the future.

Now that he was down on his luck, it was a prime opportunity for Qin Jin to lend a hand.

The potential rewards were immeasurable.

With this in mind, she suppressed her excitement and said, "He’s currently arranging the holiday schedule for the workers. You wait a moment."

Old Mrs. Qin, upon hearing that he was looking for Qin Jin, became a few degrees warmer and even made tea for the guest.

Su Yu thanked her politely and continued speaking with Li Qiao: "I heard from my family today that you have been giving them money every month for my living expenses behind the scenes and even promised to arrange a formal job for me if I can’t find one in the future, all to make sure they don’t disturb my research. I can’t thank you enough. I’m not very good with words, and I don’t know what to say to you."

Li Qiao smiled: "Don’t mention it."

Su Yu also smiled: "Song Zhixiu told me you have a child. Where is the child?"

"Sleeping in the room."

As soon as she finished speaking, a cry came from the room.

"Is that the child?"

Li Qiao couldn’t help but laugh and nodded; the little guy always wanted to be part of the action no matter who came. She went to the room, brought the child into the kitchen, and introduced: "This is my son, Qin Yunye." She then said to the baby, "Say hello to uncle."

"Uncle."

Su Yu said with a smile, "He looks so small, how old is he? And he’s already able to speak?"

Li Qiao: "He’s six months and ten days old now. He can sort of learn simple repeated words."

"Can Uncle hold you?" Su Yu asked the child.

Qin Baby twisted his body back into Li Qiao’s arms, refusing.

Su Yu did not insist. Regardless of whether the child understood, he started counting down to the college entrance exam with him.

The child looked utterly bewildered.

Li Luo earnestly explained, and the child pretended to have an epiphany, looking particularly adorable.

Su Yu said, "He seems so clever, looks like your significant other, right?"

Li Qiao nodded. "Mmm." Both his appearance and personality are similar.

When he was younger it wasn’t obvious, but now that he’s a bit older, he’s just like her.

When it comes to his own family making mistakes, he can be forgiving, but he won’t tolerate others making them. A few days ago, he found milk stains on his clothes and thought Mrs. Tao hadn’t washed them properly. He ignored her for two days, driving her so desperate that she washed them right in front of him.

He wouldn’t let it go until they were truly clean.

As they were talking,

Qin Jin came back.

Li Qiao had previously mentioned Su Yu in front of Qin Jin and had briefly discussed the latter’s research. Now, she formally introduced him, "Jin, this is Su Yu, the top student at our school."

Qin Jin extended his hand, "Hello, I’ve long admired your reputation."

Suddenly, Su Yu became awkward, "I don’t deserve such praise."

"You guys talk," Li Qiao said, preparing to leave.

The child was unwilling, and as he passed by Qin Jin, his little hand grabbed Qin Jin’s sweater.

Qin Jin casually picked up the child into his arms.

Li Qiao then returned to the room.

Old Mrs. Qin asked, "Should we buy some drinks and dishes to bring back?"

Li Qiao replied, "I’ll go buy them now." She took some change and went to a nearby restaurant to buy food.

While waiting for her order, a familiar voice called out to her.

It was Cai Hechuan.

Li Qiao turned her head, and he had already approached her, "What a coincidence, do you live around here?"

Li Qiao gave him a sidelong glance and remained silent.

She thought to herself, how could you possibly find me if you hadn’t deliberately inquired?

It was highly probable that Cai Hechuan had gone back to his hometown and then learned of her whereabouts through the mouths of Li Shengcai or Li Jinhua.

The latter seemed more likely.

Cai Hechuan was extremely embarrassed but he did not leave. Instead, he quietly waited until Li Qiao picked up her food and left, and then followed her, "Qiaoqiao."

Li Qiao warned, "There’s a limit to one’s patience."

Cai Hechuan quickly stated his position, "I’m not here to bother you, I just want to talk to you."

"Talk about what? What do I have to say to you? Now that married life isn’t going well, you start to remember my good qualities?" Li Qiao said sarcastically.

Cai Hechuan didn’t speak.

He lived frugally and had a habit of saving money.

Guan Jiexia, on the other hand, would spend it as soon as she had any, and her personality was volatile.

She would lose her temper easily, break things, and what he could not stand the most was her lack of respect for his parents.

He was fed up with that woman.

Last night, he had a dream in which he was married to Yu Xiu, they had two sons, but she died unexpectedly after a few years. He then married Li Qiao. She had not gone to university and took care of the two children he had with Yu Xiu without complaint.

She dutifully cared for his parents in their old age.

After waking up, he still longed for more.

This was not a bit different from what Li Jinhua had told him.

Li Jinhua had also said that if he wanted the old Qiaoqiao back, he had to get rid of the current one.

Then, the Qiaoqiao of the past would naturally chase after him.

With Qin Jin’s wealth, if Qiaoqiao got a divorce, she would certainly get a considerable amount. Waiting for Qiaoqiao to come back to him would mean the money would also become his.

With this in mind, his expression darkened slightly, "If you would divorce for my sake, I would still be willing to marry you."

Li Qiao looked at Cai Hechuan as if he were insane, "Are you out of your mind? Do I need you to be willing to marry me? To get divorced for you, you must be dreaming! Jin is tall, handsome, and capable, and I would choose you... huh?"
