Li Shuyi (Team Channel): "Is it okay to say that? Sister Qiao, I think your aunt doesn't look too good. "
Qiao Rui (Team Channel): "I'm just telling the truth … Also, my aunt's health is very good. She won't get sick from being angry."
Bai Xiaowen (Team Channel): "- _ - | |"
Qiao Xinyue didn't flare up. She clenched her fists and relaxed them. She said to Qiao Rui, "You're a junior. You don't know any better. I won't scold you lest others see you as a joke."
Qiao Xinyue turned to Bai Xiaowen and said, "Xiao Bai, let's not beat around the bush. You heard it just now … Xiao Si 'er and the Ouyang family's child. Both families hope that they can be together. Xiao Si 'er doesn't know any better, but you're a sensible person. Don't get involved so easily. I'm doing this for your own good. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Aunt Qiao. But I think that Qiao Rui has the freedom to join whichever team she wants. She chose to join my team. As the team leader, I had no reason to reject such an outstanding top-notch support. Of course, I don't want to get involved with the Ouyang family and the Qiao family. But if anyone thinks that I'm a pushover and wants to make a so-called breakthrough through me … I guarantee that he'll regret it. "
"Young people are full of vigor. Take care of yourself."
Qiao Xinyue stood up and left after saying that.
Li Shuyi followed her to the door quietly. Seeing that Qiao Xinyue had disappeared into the elevator, he closed the door and turned his head.
"Sister Qiao, your aunt seems to be angry."
Qiao Rui shook his head. "Maybe I didn't respect my elders enough, but I can't be vague about my attitude."
"I don't believe that she doesn't know anything about Xiaowen. She should know that Xiaowen's team is much stronger than Ouyang Heng's. It'll be good for your development, "Li Shuyi said.
Qiao Rui said helplessly, "Every family has its own difficulties. My aunt may not be doing this for my sake. She also has her own interests … Forget it, there's no need to say these things. It'll only make you guys unhappy. "
Bai Xiaowen looked at Qiao Rui. "What do you need me and Shuyi to do? You don't have to be so polite. We're teammates now. "
The relationship between the members of a fixed squad of awakened ones was very close. In some squads with harmonious internal relationships, the friendship between the members was greater than that between family members. This was because regardless of whether it was exploring the spirit world or adventuring in the wilderness, the awakened ones' backs would always be guarded by their teammates.
Qiao Rui shook his head firmly. "No, I'll take care of it."
Seeing Qiao Rui's firm attitude, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi did not say anything more.
Qiao Rui calmed himself down and smiled. "Actually, as long as you say that you won't expel me from the team because of external pressure or temptation, that will be the biggest help you can give me. Alright, let's not talk about this … Come to my house tonight. My parents want to see you. "
Li Shuyi said, "Ah, don't tell me this is the second round of persuasion …"
Qiao Rui smiled. "Don't worry."
…
In the evening, Qiao Rui drove Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi to the neighborhood where his parents lived.
Qiao Rui's parents lived in a very ordinary place. It was completely different from the high-walled courtyards and high-end villas that Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi had imagined. It was a simple residential building with three bedrooms and one living room.
They knocked on the door and entered. The living room was transparent, and the layout inside was quite simple.
Surprisingly, there were two other relatives of the Qiao family in the living room. After Qiao Rui introduced them, they were Qiao Rui's aunt and uncle.
Qiao Rui's aunt was called Qiao Yun. She was also an elite awakened. Her appearance was somewhat similar to Qiao Xinyue's, but the lines of her face, especially the bridge of her nose, were slightly softer. In addition, awakened ones aged slower. When she stood next to Qiao Rui, she, who was in her forties, looked like two beautiful sisters.
It was worth mentioning that Qiao Rui's uncle was just an ordinary awakened. He was tall, thin, and had a scholarly temperament.
"We heard that Qiao Rui 'er's teammates were here, so we came uninvited. Don't feel uncomfortable. Just treat it as your own home. "Qiao Yun said with a smile. It was obvious that she came here often.
Uncle Cai Anmin pushed up his glasses. "It's not just us. In fact, many people in the Qiao family are curious about you … Well, especially you. After all, you've only met Qiao Rui a few times. She actually chose you. "
Qiao Rui said angrily, "Auntie, Uncle, my two teammates were threatened and tempted by Big Aunt as soon as they arrived. Are you here for the second round of the relay?"
"You little girl, don't talk nonsense." Aunt Qiao Yun scratched Qiao Rui's nose. "We're just here to take a look and understand the situation. You know that your uncle and I don't have any children, so we treat you like our own daughter. How can we not care about such an important matter? However, all of this depends on your opinion. "
Qiao Rui blushed. "Auntie, what are you talking about? How is this an important matter?"
"Almost, almost." Qiao Yun looked at Bai Xiaowen meaningfully. Bai Xiaowen felt a chill at the back of her head.
"Auntie, you're really … Xiaowen already has a girlfriend. Isn't it inappropriate for you to say that in front of Shuyi?" Qiao Rui stole a glance at Li Shuyi. Then, she saw Li Shuyi holding Bai Xiaowen's arm indifferently.
Cai Anmin said, "Actually, it's not a big problem. In the psionic era, the strong awakened ones don't necessarily have only one spouse. This is also in line with the laws of eugenics …"
"Stop, this isn't your class." Qiao Yun made a gesture and Cai Anmin quickly shut up.
Qiao Rui blushed. Then, she said to Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, "My aunt and uncle are both university professors … Actually, among the elders in the family, I envy them the most. They study in the ivory tower and don't have to fight for power. They save a lot of trouble … They're a perfect couple."
Cai Anmin shook his head and smiled. "Qiao Rui, you're wrong. The premise that your aunt and I don't have trouble is that her surname is Qiao. Therefore, you should be more respectful to your First Uncle, Second Uncle, and First Aunt. "
"I understand." Qiao Rui nodded. Then, she shouted into the kitchen, "Mom! Is Dad coming back today? "
A beautiful woman who looked like Qiao Rui, but was full of charm, wiping her hands on her apron, leaned half of her body out of the kitchen. "Your father has something to do today, so he can't come."
Qiao Rui pursed her lips. "She asked me to bring him back, but she disappeared. President Qiao really knows how to stand people up."
"Don't be silly. Your dad has to preside over the company's emergency meeting …" Auntie Qiao said, "Auntie, help me take care of the two guests. I'll make some soup. Dinner will be ready soon."
