Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Don’t Follow Certain People, Ungrateful Child!
Qian Mentao and Qiao Yun’er were quite happy, since the country bumpkin Qiao Qiqi had finally left. The two of them started eating cheerfully.
Qiao Yue’er, however, felt extremely uncomfortable inside. She didn’t want to move, and she was accustomed to living in a luxury house.
"By the way, Grandma, the bracelet you gave Mom is quite pretty. Where did you buy it?" Qiao Qiqi casually asked.
"That was specially brought back from abroad by your eldest aunt! How could I have money to buy those things for your mom! Your eldest aunt treats you all so well, yet you want to drive them away! You’re just an ungrateful wretch!" Old Mrs. Qiao was nearly furious to death, her brows furrowed so tightly that they could catch flies.
"Mom, let’s eat, don’t get yourself worked up." Qian Mentao nervously picked food for Old Mrs. Qiao.
Qiao Qiqi was paying attention to everyone at the dining table, so she didn’t miss the panic in Qian Mentao’s eyes.
Her hand gripping the chopsticks suddenly tightened!
What a great eldest aunt!
So the one who wanted Mom’s life was her!
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be a shame not to give her a grand gift!
"Yue’er, you should stay and live here!" Qiao Yun’er had always liked Qiao Yue’er, and looked at her with an excited expression.
Admittedly, Qiao Yue’er had excellent social skills; anyone she deemed useful could be persuaded to devote themselves to her.
"No, I’ll go with Dad and Mom." Qiao Yue’er shook her head painfully.
"Yue’er staying here could fulfill her filial duty for your parents! Don’t follow in the footsteps of certain people, ungrateful descendants!" Qian Mentao glared coldly at Qiao Qiqi.
"Yeah, sis, stay here, then you can continue staying in my room! And look after Grandma."
Qiao Qiqi knew Qiao Yue’er wanted to stay, so she’d fulfill her wish this time. Such heartless ingrates shouldn’t live with their family!
Next, she’d properly sort out this family, and Qiao Yue’er couldn’t be left out!
"Yue’er, stay here with me, and your whole family of three can move out." Old Mrs. Qiao spoke up, with no hint of reluctance towards her second son.
Wu Lening was actually reluctant to part with Qiao Yue’er. Watching her hesitating to speak several times, Qiao Yue’er pretended not to see, and Wu Lening could only give up in the end.
After dinner, Old Mrs. Qiao and the Eldest Qiao’s family happily went to the living room to chat and watch TV.
Wu Lening wanted to help tidy up but was stopped by Qiao Qiqi. Qiao Qiqi looked at her father sternly and said, "Dad, if Eldest Uncle asks you for money for investment, or to buy land or something, don’t listen to him!"
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Qiao Yaozu, feeling vexed, looked at his daughter puzzled.
"Anyway, just remember what I said. Mom and I are going upstairs, you decide for yourself where you want to go." Qiao Qiqi was still a bit helpless with her father, who valued family ties too much and didn’t know how to discern people’s hearts.
"I’m going upstairs too, I want to be with my wife and kids!" Is there even a choice? If he went over now, wouldn’t he just be asking for trouble?
After the family of three went upstairs, Qiao Yue’er followed along. She watched Qiao Qiqi return to her room, then walked to her parents’ room and knocked on the door.
"Yue’er, come in quickly." Wu Lening pulled her adopted daughter in; this child had been raised by her since she was young, the bond was very deep.
"Mom, can I sleep with you tonight?" Qiao Yue’er’s eyes were red, looking sorrowful.
"Of course, by the way, you don’t have pocket money right now. I have two hundred thousand here for you to use. If it’s not enough, come to me." Wu Lening pulled her inside.
