Chapter 3: You will always be the Joe family
Qiao Ruofei didn't want to believe such a thing, she raised her head and stared at Chu Xiangyi with a pair of watery eyes, "Auntie, you lied to me, right?" ”
Qiao Jingdong and He Junru are so good to her, how can she not be biological? How could she be a picked up child!
Chu Xiangyi was stunned, "Ruofei, what about this matter, I didn't want to tell you in the first place, you just don't know, as if I didn't say it, okay?" ”
After finishing speaking, she immediately left the room, leaving Qiao Ruofei sitting there alone, still thinking about what Chu Xiangyi had said just now.
Qiao Tianjun saw Qiao Ruofei come up to change clothes, but he didn't go downstairs for a long time, so he came up to find her, and saw Qiao Ruofei sitting alone on the sofa in the room, looking at the family photo and shedding tears.
"What's wrong? Ruofei. Qiao Tianjun sat down beside her, took the photo frame in her hand, and asked her.
Qiao Ruofei is a cheerful and lively girl, she rarely sheds tears, of course, the whole family also tries to protect her and not let her shed tears.
Qiao Ruofei raised her teary eyes and looked at Qiao Tianjun, "Brother, I'm a child picked up by my parents, right?" ”
Her words made Qiao Tianjun stunned, the whole family hid this matter from her, how could she know? Although the entire Qiao family knows that it is impossible to hide this matter for a lifetime, she is still young, she is only ten years old, and at the most sensitive time, when she has not fully grown up, it is inevitable that it is not a good thing to know this news.
Therefore, Qiao Tianjun chose to deny, "If not, how can it be, you are the daughter of your parents and my sister." ”
Qiao Ruofei stared at Qiao Tianjun for a long time, and then she shook her head again, "No, I'm not!" ”
In the past, when they were in kindergarten, whenever Qiao Jingdong and He Junru went to participate in parent-child activities, they would always be said that she didn't look like her father or mother, and now Qiao Ruofei had to think that maybe she was really not the daughter of the Qiao family.
"Ruofei!" Qiao Tianjun wanted to say anything more, but saw that Qiao Ruofei had already run out of the room alone, he immediately followed, and next to the fish pond in the back garden, he found her.
"Ruofei." Qiao Tianjun also sat down with her.
"I'm not my mom's daughter, that's why my grandparents don't like me, so my uncles and aunts don't like me either, and I'm not my brother's sister anymore." Everything Qiao Ruofei has enjoyed for so many years is ruined at this moment, like a dream.
Qiao Tianjun took her into his arms, "Whether you picked it up or not, you will always be the Qiao family." He said this very firmly.
At the age of sixteen, he held her tightly in his arms and swore secretly in his heart.
Perhaps, there has always been a contradiction in his heart, Qiao Ruofei is not his own sister, and what is his indescribable love for her?
That night, although Qiao Ruofei dressed up, the smile on her face was gone, there was no happiness in the past, and there was no expectation of a birthday dinner, for her, she seemed to get too many things that did not belong to her.
"Ruofei, what's wrong? Why are you upset? He Junru also saw that when she had dinner tonight, Qiao Ruofei didn't have a very good appetite and didn't eat much.
Qiao Ruofei looked at Qiao Tianjun, then shook her head, "I didn't." ”
Qiao Tianjun was really afraid that Qiao Ruofei would tell the truth she had just knew, and he told her that no matter what others thought of her, in her parents' hearts, she was their baby daughter, so she couldn't break her parents' hearts, she was still her parents' daughter.
When Qiao Ruofei faced the cake that He Junru made for her, her tears couldn't stop falling, which made Qiao Jingdong and He Junru startled.
He Junru walked to Qiao Ruofei's side and hugged her into her arms, "Ruofei, hurry up and make a wish, the candle will be extinguished later." ”
Qiao Ruofei looked at the light of the candle in front of her, but she didn't know what wish to make this year, she really hoped that she could be her parents' biological daughter and be by her parents' side for the rest of her life.
And because of Qiao Ruofei's attitude, the old man of the Qiao family was obviously unhappy, he thought that Qiao Ruofei was playing tricks again.
"Ruofei, the whole family celebrates your birthday today, why do you still have such an attitude?" Although Old Man Qiao's tone was not serious, as soon as he opened his mouth, it made Qiao Ruofei feel scared.
Of course Chu Xiangyi knows why Qiao Ruofei is unhappy, she is now ten years old, she understands everything she should understand, so her purpose has been achieved, she just doesn't want to make this family peaceful, she doesn't want to see Qiao Jingdong and He Junru live comfortably, seeing that their family of four is happy and happy every day, she feels uncomfortable in her heart.
"I'm sorry." Qiao Ruofei bowed her head and apologized.
On that night's birthday, because of Old Man Qiao's unhappiness, he finally broke up unhappily, and Qiao Ruofei didn't even eat a bite of cake.
In the middle of the night, when everyone went to sleep, Qiao Ruofei walked out of the room alone, went downstairs, and looked at the cake on the table in the dining room, she pulled the dining chair and sat down, just staring at the cake.
Qiao Tianjun originally planned to go to Qiao Ruofei, but before he walked to Qiao Ruofei's room, he saw that the lights in the restaurant upstairs were on, and Qiao Ruofei was lying on the table.
He went downstairs and took a coat, seeing Qiao Ruofei like this, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, all along, he didn't expect Qiao Ruofei to know that she was not his own sister, they were not related by blood, but when the real thing was in front of them, Qiao Ruofei was sad, and he was at a loss.
"Ruofei." Qiao Tianjun handed her the coat, although it was July and the weather was very hot, but now that the air conditioner was turned on, it was a little cool to stay in the room for a long time.
Qiao Ruofei looked up at Qiao Tianjun, "Brother, what should I do?" What should I do? ”
Suddenly, she felt like she was an outsider.
"Ruofei, just if you don't know, it's still the same, okay?" Qiao Tianjun actually couldn't bear to see Qiao Ruofei's sad appearance.
He knew that Chu Xiangyi told Qiao Ruofei, and why Chu Xiangyi did this, he may not know, but such a truth is a bit cruel to Qiao Ruofei.
"Brother, can you tell me how I got picked up?" Qiao Ruofei raised her teary eyes and asked Qiao Tianjun.
"It doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that your surname is Qiao now, and you are the Qiao family." Qiao Tianjun pulled her upstairs and told her to stop thinking nonsense.
However, they all know that this incident has had an impact on Qiao Ruofei, not that it doesn't exist if it hasn't happened.
If she can be regarded as Qiao Ruofei and still doesn't know anything, then she won't be sad, and she won't want to know how she came to this family, and who are her biological parents?
