Qiao Qiqi decided not to let her brother leave her side recently. She wanted to see who had their eyes on her brother again.
With the food ready, the four of them rarely sat together to eat. Qiao Yaozu and Lening kept serving food to their daughter. Qiao Qiqi also served so dishes to her parents and brother. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed.
Lening seed to have sothing on her mind, but she tried her best to suppress it and smiled as she enjoyed the joy of reunion with her family.
After the al, Qiao Yaozu asked his son, "When are you going back to work?"
Qiao Jiezhe, who had just returned from working for only half a month, "???"
"Boys should have ambition! Don’t always stay at ho; you can’t be compared to girls!" Qiao Yaozu looked at his son with a face full of expectancy, though he actually disliked his son vying for attention with him.
Qiao Jiezhe, "???"
"Dad, my brother won’t be going to work anyti soon. If he does, I’ll go with him," Qiqi said.
"Why?" Qiao Yaozu wanted to spend more ti with his daughter; how could he let her leave?
"No reason, I just want to be with my brother." Qiao Qiqi smiled at her brother.
Qiao Yaozu, "..."
Did his daughter not love him anymore!
Qiao Jiezhe nearly burst out laughing, unable to stop the corners of his mouth from lifting. He was so happy, he almost took off.
In the living room.
"Mom, are you troubled?" Qiao Qiqi handed her mother a piece of waterlon and asked.
"Uh, it’s nothing, you don’t have to worry about ." Lening shook her head.
"You’re worried about the matters over in the Capital City, afraid that uncle doesn’t like you?" Qiao Qiqi probed, unfazed.
Lening sighed, nodded, and didn’t deny it. Ever since she regained her mory and reunited with the family, there had been no news or gesture from her older brother. It was obvious he wasn’t welcoming. She wasn’t sure if she should face the cold shoulder.
Qiao Qiqi was at a loss for words with her mom’s personality. If this person weren’t her mother, she wouldn’t even bother looking at her.
"Mom, you’re already married with kids now. You have a husband who loves you, children who love you, your husband isn’t a nobody, and your children haven’t embarrassed you. So what your brother thinks isn’t sothing you need to care about! Also, you’re going back to the Capital City to celebrate grandpa’s birthday, not for your brother! What he thinks about you doesn’t matter to you. You don’t even need to care." Qiao Qiqi broke it down patiently for her mom.
Lening thought for a mont and said, "Daughter, you’re right."
"It’s good if you can figure it out. Also... that is your ho! You, like your brother, are your grandparents’ children. Since that’s your ho, you have the right to live there. It’s not about who occupied it longer; rember this, when you get there, you’re also the host!"
"Qiqi, I get it. I’m really sorry for always making you worry." Lening pulled her daughter’s hand, full of apology.
"You’re my mom, and I’m willing to worry about you. Don’t overthink it, just rember who you are, do what you should do, and leave the rest to us." Qiao Qiqi held her mother’s hand tightly.
Lening felt much more at ease with her daughter’s words.
...
Qiao Qiqi had other things to do, so she went back to her room first. After returning to her room, she contacted the person who had previously reached out to her seeking help, claiming to be with Interpol.
