Chapter 55: She's Here Too
Qiao Sijie was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Ran Xixi's attitude to be so resolute.
He admits that he is indeed unwilling sometimes, and from childhood to adulthood, the burden on his shoulders is heavier than his words. Even when I was studying, my family said that you have to study hard so that you can manage the family business well in the future.
Therefore, Qiao Sijie never thought that one day, he might leave Qiao's, or only take a part of the dividends, without personally interfering with the company's affairs.
"After all, he is my younger brother, I don't want to be laughed at by outsiders, let people say that as soon as Qiao Rin died, his two sons fought fiercely, which is really unfortunate for the family. โ
He sighed and shook his head.
Without waiting for Ran Xixi to say anything, the middle-aged maid had already gone and returned, and whispered a few words in Mrs. Qiao's ear.
"Regardless of them, you two go to me, and we eat ours. โ
Madame Jo walked ahead, led them down the stairs, and then turned around to a slightly smaller three-story building next to the main building, which was her own quarters.
Although Qiao Rin refused to move out of the old mansion, he still doted on his wife and built a new building for her, next to the old mansion. If you are in the countryside, it is very common to build a house by yourself, and it is not expensive, you can build a house for two or three hundred thousand. But this is in China Shipping, not to mention how much money it costs, mainly because it is basically difficult to get private land approvals.
The kitchen made six dishes separately and called for the maid to deliver them to Mrs. Joe's room.
Although there are not many dishes, they are better because the taste is light, and there are some tricks, and it can be seen that these are the few dishes that her son loves to eat in the kitchen.
Ran Xixi didn't expect that he would be left to eat, and he couldn't help but be a little restrained.
Luckily, Jostier was always with her.
Mrs. Qiao probably read the love of the Vera bag, and she no longer raised her eyebrows, although it was not very enthusiastic, but it was a normal attitude, and she also helped Ran Xixi clip a crystal elbow.
She was immediately flattered: "Thank you, Mrs. Qiao." โ
I took a bite carefully, and sure enough, the meat was fragrant, the teeth and cheeks were fragrant, fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood. Books?Lookยท1?k?a?n?s?h?u?ยท cc?
Qiao Sijie also said with a smile: "In the past 30 years, my family has changed so many cooks, and there is only one standard, that is, to be able to make this dish well." If you do it well, you will stay, and if you don't do it well, you will find another job. โ
Hearing this, even Mrs. Qiao couldn't help laughing and said, "It's not that you and Yan Ne are two little gluttonous cats, who like to eat elbows the most." Oops, a plate full of crystal elbows, brothers, you clip me, a few chopsticks are gone, and I can't get tired of eating every day. I remember, there was a winter vacation, the two of you ate every day, and each of you gained ten pounds in one winter! Look at you, now you are thin, and you will not eat more if you want to eat more. โ
As she spoke, she picked up a few more pieces and put them all in Qiao Sijie's bowl.
"Your dad is no longer good, I'm old too, in the future, let someone else take care of you." โ
Mrs. Qiao held the chopsticks and glanced at Ran Xixi meaningfully.
She almost choked, and she didn't dare to come out, so she could only bury her head in the rice.
"Mom, just eat, don't talk about that. I'll serve you soup. โ
Qiao Sijie saw Ran Xixi's embarrassment, and hurriedly changed the topic, he personally filled a bowl of soup and carefully sent it to Mrs. Qiao, so that she could drink it while it was hot.
"You, you've been like this since you were a child, thinking about this, thinking about that, but not about yourself. I'm a little sorry, I knew it was like this, when you were young, I shouldn't have been so biased towards him, and I should have hurt you a little more......"
Mrs. Qiao shook her head helplessly, she picked up the soup bowl, and was about to stir it with a spoon a few times, when suddenly her eyebrows moved as if she heard something.
Not only her, but even the maids around her, Qiao Sijie and Ran Xixi heard it.
Judging by the sound, there should be more than one person coming, it should be a group of people, at least no less than four.
"Bang!"
Mrs. Qiao was furious, and put down the bowl in her hand with all her might, and the soup in it spilled on the back of her hand, and she ignored it.
"It's too much, even I dare to break in casually here? Qiao Duan is tired of being alive, the second brother hasn't breathed yet, my second sister-in-law, he doesn't care about it at all!"
Qiao Duan is the fourth son of the Qiao family, that is, the youngest brother of Qiao Rin, and the younger uncle of Qiao Sijie and Qiao Yanne. Looking at a book? ยท 1?ยท cc
He openly supports Qiao Yanne's inheritance of the identity of the family, and he is the only one, and the others, such as the eldest uncle and the third uncle, have not yet expressed their position, saying that everything is up to Qiao Rin's arrangement, they support it unconditionally, but in private, they can't figure it out, and they are ready to move.
"Sister Fang, go and see, who is so bold!"
Mrs. Qiao gave an order, and the woman next to her immediately stepped forward.
Unexpectedly, it was not only Qiao Duan who came, but also his two sons Qiao Jianxian and Qiao Siqi, and even Qiao Yanne.
"Second sister-in-law, why don't you eat with us? If you're not here, we don't dare to move the chopsticks, no, the eldest and the third, entrust me to come up in person and pick you up to dine together. Everyone was there, and the meal was lively. โ
Qiao Duan is a smiling tiger, he swept left and right, and he understood everything, but he still said with a smile on his face.
"Don't dare to bother his uncle. Go and eat, and I'll eat here, and I'll not go anywhere. โ
Mrs. Qiao sat upright, leaning slightly sideways, but did not stand up.
"Mom, my uncle is here, so you can go down. Brother, you're back too?"
Qiao Yanne took two steps from Qiao Duan's side and said loudly.
However, he didn't take a second look at Ran Xixi, who was sitting next to Qiao Sijie, as if she didn't exist. As for the others, such as Qiao Jianxian and Qiao Siqi, they were not qualified to speak on such occasions, so they stood aside, secretly looking at Ran Xixi with curious eyes, speculating about her identity.
However, it is easy to guess her identity if she can get Qiao Sijie to bring her home and eat at the same table with Mrs. Qiao.
Especially, at this time of storm.
"Uncle, I've worked hard for you, we're almost finished eating, so we won't toss. You know, my mom hasn't been very well lately, and she has to take her blood pressure for a while. โ
Qiao Sijie immediately stood up and whispered to Qiao Duan with a respectful expression.
"Sijie, you are really a filial child. Ha ha. โ
Qiao said with a smile.
After speaking, he looked at Mrs. Qiao with an indifferent face again, and nodded slightly: "Second sister-in-law, then you have a good rest, let's go down to eat first." Let's go. โ
Joe turned to leave, taking his two sons with him.
But Qiao Yanne didn't go with them, still standing in place, but, although he didn't speak, his face didn't look very good. It seems that in his opinion, his mother did not give face to his uncle, and went downstairs to eat with everyone, which embarrassed him.
"What's that look on your face? For the past few years, I've been eating alone. If you think it's weird, you can only say that you haven't been at home for too long. โ
Glancing at him, Mrs. Qiao said coldly.
She is indeed partial to Qiao Yanne, since she was a child, she has always been.
But Qiao Yanne left the bride at the wedding, and the whole person seemed to be steaming in the world, and in the past few years, Mrs. Qiao had almost dried her tears for him. Just when she was no longer hopeful, he appeared in front of everyone unharmed, that is, he refused to report even a peace to his family, and even married that woman on his own initiative!
As a mother, how could she not be resentful!
She has been the only hostess of the Qiao family for more than 30 years, but she can't influence her son's marriage and is completely kept in the dark.
"Mom, you're still blaming me. โ
Qiao Yanne spoke lowly.
"As long as you are willing to divorce that woman immediately, I will treat it as if nothing happened. In the future, I will never stop you from doing what you want, don't you like to play? Okay, you go play, whatever you want, I've figured it out. โ
Mrs. Qiao waved her hand, looking very talkative.
"Mom......"
Qiao Sijie was embarrassed to hear this, this kind of words, it is better for the mother and son to talk alone, not to mention that he is still here, even Ran Xixi is sitting on the side, at a loss, not to stay, not to go.
"You don't need you to intercede for him! I want to say that this marriage must be divorced!"
Seeing that her son was unwilling to express her position, Mrs. Qiao's heart became even more angry, and she slapped the table vigorously and yelled loudly.
Seeing that she was really angry, even Qiao Sijie didn't dare to say anything more.
He thought that he should take Ran Xixi away first, so that his mother and Yan Ne could have a good talk, perhaps, without anyone else present, they could easily untie each other's knots.
"Divorce is impossible, even if you don't recognize me as a son, I can't get a divorce. And ......"
Qiao Yanne, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, he looked at his mother's angry face, paused for two seconds, and then continued: "...... And, she's coming to see you. โ
Mrs. Joe was taken aback.
Ran Xixi and Qiao Sijie were also surprised.
Who? Who's coming? Could it be......
"I hope you all don't make a mistake, she has already changed her name, following my last name, and her surname is Joe. You can call her Rachel, she just got off the plane, and she flew for so long, and it was hard. โ
Qiao Yanne's gaze swept over her mother and brother, and finally landed on Ran Xixi's face.
She was already stiff.
Except for the one time she saw her in the hospital, Ran Xixi never saw her sister again, and she didn't want to admit that she was sisters, even though they were really compatriots.
"What? You let that woman into my house? No, no!"
Mrs. Qiao was stunned for a second, then immediately shouted, and then stood up sharply.
Because she got up too quickly, it was dark in front of her, and she almost fell, Qiao Sijie and Sister Fang coincidentally went to help her, and finally let her stand firm and not fall.
"I'm so sorry, I'm already here, and since I'm here, I can't turn around and leave. โ
A female voice came from the door, and everyone subconsciously looked at it in unison.
At that moment, Ran Xixi felt that the blood in his body was flowing backwards. Today must be her nightmare day, she thought, and if she knew so, she wouldn't have agreed to come here.
