"No..."
"Don’t refuse . When I get back, I’ll make your favorite dish, okay?" Gu Shili’s voice was gentle yet assertive.
"Oh, alright, I’ll send it to you later. I’m going to sleep now; the exams were exhausting, and I’m tired."
Qiao Qiqi didn’t think much of it. Her voice was soft, like a doting kitten, making Gu Shili’s heart lt.
"Get so rest early. Goodnight."
Before sleeping, Qiao Qiqi was thinking that Gu Shili’s cooking was really delicious. Maybe her brother could learn so culinary skills from him, so she wouldn’t have to bother him in the future.
...
The next day, Qiao Qiqi got up early. It was the weekend, and she planned to go out and earn so money.
Before she went downstairs, she heard her brother’s dissatisfied voice. It was clear that he deliberately lowered his voice, probably to avoid disturbing sothing.
When Qiao Qiqi ca downstairs, she saw her parents who’d returned from vacation, along with Qiao Yue’er and Old Mrs. Qiao. Upon hearing the sound, several people looked upstairs simultaneously. Qiao Yue’er revealed a provocative look in her eyes, then quickly pretended to be nervous and frightened, sticking close to Wu Lening, Mrs. Qiao.
Qiao Yaozu and Wu Lening felt sowhat awkward upon seeing their daughter. Qiao Jiezhe irritably glared at his parents and ran to help his sister downstairs.
"Sister, take it slow, don’t fall." Qiao Jiezhe reached out to support his sister.
Qiao Qiqi naturally placed her hand on her brother’s, smiling at him.
"Qiqi..." Qiao Yaozu looked at his daughter with a nervous expression.
"Qiqi..." Wu Lening was also visibly tense.
"Mom and Dad, why didn’t you notify us before returning? Brother and I had planned to go to the airport to pick you up." Qiao Qiqi ignored Qiao Yue’er’s provocation and looked at her parents with concern.
"We decided to co back last minute. There was an ergency at the company, and the flight arrived too early. We didn’t want to tire you." Qiao Yaozu explained.
"How could picking up mom and dad be tiring? You should eat sothing and rest now after just arriving. What’s the matter with not preparing food for mom and dad?" Qiao Qiqi looked at the servants nearby.
"Miss, the food is ready, just waiting for the master and madam to eat. But..." Nanny Zhang glanced at the two uninvited guests in the living room.
"Since it’s ready, serve it. I’m hungry too. Yaozu, check which room Yue’er and I should stay in and arrange it quickly." Old Mrs. Qiao sat on the sofa calmly, not even glancing at Qiao Qiqi, as if she didn’t consider this granddaughter of hers important at all.
In her heart, she sneered; no matter how powerful she was, this family wasn’t yet for a little girl like her to dominate!
"Mom, please wait a mont. Qiqi, you see..." Qiao Yaozu didn’t dare to make a decision and could only look at his daughter.
"There’s no empty room here. Isn’t the place at grandma’s comfy? How about asking dad to arrange another apartnt for you?" Qiao Qiqi smiled and sat down, asking.
"Is it your place to decide here? Qiao Yaozu, are you useless?" Old Mrs. Qiao instantly exploded with anger, standing up and saying, "You ungrateful thing, you have no say here! Qiao Yaozu, I’m telling you, I’ve already invited the elders from the clan to co ho. If you dare to drive out again, you’ll bear the reputation of unfilial!"
Qiao Yaozu felt extrely helpless, looking at his wife, Wu Lening in turn looked at Qiao Qiqi.
Qiao Qiqi rely sat there coldly without responding, playing with her finely manicured nails.
"Qiqi, perhaps..."
