Qiao Anxia tightened her grip on her phone. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Qiao Qiao, are you in a bad mood?"
Qiao Anhao was a little confused by Qiao Anxia's question. "No."
"Oh." Qiao Anxia heard that Qiao Anhao's tone was normal, so she thought that she was being sensitive, so she smiled. "Then it's okay, I have a meeting later, I'll hang up first."
"En, sis, goodbye."
"Goodbye." When Qiao Anxia hung up, her fingers paused slightly, and she called out, "Qiao Qiao."
"En?"
Qiao Anxia wanted to be honest with Qiao Anhao, but she didn't know how to say it. She hesitated for a long while, but in the end, she swallowed her saliva, and as though nothing had happened, she reminded her in a clear voice, "Qiao Qiao, tomorrow night at eight, don't forget."
After Lu Jinnian left, Qiao Anhao used her salary from "Alluring Times" to buy an apartment in the city. It wasn't big, but it was enough for her to live alone.
In these four months, besides going back to the Qiao family a few times to visit Uncle and Auntie, she didn't step foot into the Xu family's house.
Even though Lu Jinnian was now in control of Xu Enterprise, the two families had always been on good terms. Even though Xu Wanli and Han Ruchu didn't have much power, they would still have meals together often. Every time, they would call Qiao Anhao, but every time, Qiao Anhao would find all sorts of excuses to not attend.
But for Han Ruchu's birthday, Qiao Anhao went.
The Xu family wasn't as good as before, so Han Ruchu's birthday wasn't as grand as it used to be.
It was just that there was a table full of dishes, and besides the Qiao family, there was no one else.
Qiao Anhao was the last to arrive. When she arrived, the dishes were already prepared and placed on the dining table.
The Xu family housekeeper opened the door, and when she saw Qiao Anhao, she immediately shouted, "Madam, Miss Qiao is here."
As the housekeeper's voice fell, Han Ruchu quickly walked around the screen at the entrance. When she saw Qiao Anhao, she wore the same warm smile as before. "Qiao Qiao, you're finally here. Everyone has been waiting for you."
Qiao Anhao stared at Han Ruchu for two seconds before reaching out to hand her the present she had specially brought. She curved her lips into a cute smile. "Aunt Xu, happy birthday."
"Qiao Qiao is really thoughtful. She even bought me a gift." Han Ruchu took the gift and glanced at it in surprise. She passed it to the housekeeper and led Qiao Anhao into the house.
Everyone had arrived, and the food was ready. Everyone took their seats.
The butler opened two bottles of red wine and poured everyone a glass.
Everyone laughed and chatted about their daily lives. The atmosphere at the dining table was especially harmonious. From start to finish, Qiao Anhao spoke very little and ate very little as well.
After they were full, the butler served the cake.
After lighting the candles, Qiao Anxia took the lead and sang Han Ruchu a happy birthday song. When they blew out the candles and Han Ruchu went to cut the cake with a knife, Qiao Anhao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. In a sweet voice, she asked, "Auntie Xu, do you still have the bird's nest you gave me last time? I suddenly feel like eating it. "
When Han Ruchu and the housekeeper heard this, the smiles on their faces froze.
Qiao Anhao smiled innocently and continued to say, "Auntie Xu, where did you buy the bird's nest? Everyone says that bird's nest can calm the nerves and replenish the blood, but the bird's nest I bought later didn't taste as good as the two boxes of bird's nest you gave me. "
