Qiao Anhao purposely emphasized the word "Anshen". When she said that, her eyes were glued to Han Ruchu's face. She clearly saw that when she said those words, Han Ruchu's originally startled eyes turned into an almost imperceptible layer of panic and shock.
Mother Qiao knew that Han Ruchu had given Qiao Anhao the bird's nest, so when she heard that Han Ruchu had taken the initiative to ask for food, even though she wasn't her biological mother, she had seen her grow up. She said with a hint of indulgence, "Ruchu, Qiao Qiao has clearly been spoiled by you. She treats the Xu family as her own home, eating whatever she wants."
"My mom likes Qiao Qiao like that." Xu Jiamu replied with a smile, then turned to look at Han Ruchu, who was sitting opposite him. "Right, mom?"
Han Ruchu didn't react, causing everyone to turn to look at her. The housekeeper, who was standing beside her, quickly snapped back to her senses. Without a sound, she touched Han Ruchu's arm and said in a low voice, "Madam, don't just cut the cake. The young master is asking you a question. If you don't say anything, Miss Qiao will think that you don't like her treating the Xu family as her own home."
Han Ruchu quickly snapped out of her daze. She quickly lowered her eyelids to hide the panic in her eyes. Her lipstick-smeared lips curved slightly, and she said in a calm and magnanimous tone, "What nonsense are you talking about? I wish Qiao Qiao was my daughter."
Then she calmly instructed the housekeeper, "Aunt Yun, I remember there are a few bottles of bird's nest at home. Heat them up and bring them out."
"Yes, Madam," replied the housekeeper, turning to enter the kitchen.
Qiao Anhao took in the entire scene. She maintained a peaceful and beautiful smile on her face, but deep down, she sneered coldly.
The bird's nest was quickly heated up and brought out. It was exactly the same as the one she had given Qiao Anhao.
When the housekeeper placed the bird's nest in front of Qiao Anhao, her gaze instantly turned sharp, as though she had been provoked. The chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground with a "pa".
"What's wrong with Qiao Qiao? Are you too excited to see the bird's nest? "Qiao Anxia teased with a smile.
Xu Jiamu bent down to pick up the chopsticks and passed them to the housekeeper. He then gave her a new pair of chopsticks.
When Qiao Anhao heard Qiao Anxia's words, she lifted her head, her pitch-black eyes sparkling with a cute glow. She pouted, as though she was unhappy with Qiao Anxia's teasing. When she took the chopsticks from Xu Jiamu, she said in a warm and gentle voice, "Thank you, Brother Jiamu."
However, when he lowered his head, the light in his eyes became extremely cold again, and the strength in his hand that was holding the chopsticks became much stronger.
The men at the table didn't really care about things like bird's nest, so they didn't touch it. Mother Qiao picked up the spoon and ate two mouthfuls. She even praised Han Ruchu a few times. "No wonder Qiao Qiao is so concerned. This bird's nest is really delicious."
Han Ruchu smiled and said, "This bird's nest was personally cooked by Auntie Yun. The bird's nest was specially bought to be the best. It's all natural and healthy food."
Qiao Anxia also joined in the conversation. "You have to be careful when buying bird's nest. Many people smoke it with nitrous acid and bird poop. Don't talk about nourishing the body, it might even cause cancer!"
Qiao Anhao, who hadn't said a word since the bird's nest was served, suddenly added in a flat tone, "It can also be fatal."
