When she finished speaking, she lifted her eyelids and glanced over at Han Ruchu.
Han Ruchu's expression clearly stiffened, as though she understood what Qiao Anhao was hinting at. She tightened her grip on the spoon.
Qiao Anhao ignored Han Ruchu's strange behavior and pretended to be confused. She continued to speak in a cute and innocent manner, "That's weird. In the past, whenever I ate Auntie Xu's bird's nest, I would immediately feel sleepy. Why am I so energetic this time?"
Qiao Anxia, who had no idea what was behind the bird's nest, couldn't help but reach out and pat her on the head. "Qiao Qiao, what nonsense are you talking about? Bird's nest is just for calming the nerves, it's not a sleeping pill!"
Qiao Anhao pouted and raised her hand unhappily to rub her head. "Sis, how many times have I told you not to hit my head..."
As she said this, she turned her head and pitifully complained to Xu Jiamu, "Brother Jiamu, Anxia hit me again..."
"Here, let me rub it for you." Xu Jiamu reached out his hand with a doting expression and rubbed the spot Qiao Anxia had just hit.
Qiao Anhao turned her head and winked at Qiao Anxia proudly. She said innocently, "I really didn't lie just now. Auntie Xu's bird's nest is really more effective than sleeping pills!"
As her voice fell, the crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground could be heard in the room.
Qiao Anhao, Xu Jiamu, and Qiao Anxia, who were originally arguing, turned their attention to the source of the sound.
Han Ruchu accidentally dropped the bowl in her hand, and the bird's nest in the bowl spilled all over her dress.
"Madam, how could you be so careless?" The housekeeper hurriedly pulled out a napkin and helped Han Ruchu wipe it off.
Han Ruchu's expression didn't look good, as though she was in a bad mood. She pushed the housekeeper's arm away and stood up. In her usual calm voice, she said, "I'll go upstairs to change, wait for a moment."
When Han Ruchu finished changing, Xu Wanli and Father Qiao had already entered the study to play chess. The rest of them were sitting on the sofa in the living room, forming a circle.
On the marble coffee table, there was a pot of hot tea with steam curling up from it.
Qiao Anxia was still on the phone with Chen Yang. Every now and then, she would laugh, and every now and then, she would scold Chen Yang, "Aren't you annoying!"
Qiao Anhao and Xu Jiamu were watching an old movie on TV. Han Ruchu glanced over and saw a woman dressed in red. She had a dainty face and an outstanding temperament. She rarely paid attention to the entertainment industry, but she knew that this was the famous movie queen called Song Xiangsi.
Han Ruchu sat beside Mother Qiao. Mother Qiao didn't seem to be interested in the movie. The two of them chatted about some gossip they heard while playing mahjong a while ago.
Qiao Anhao noticed Han Ruchu when she came downstairs, but she pretended to be focused on the television. She waited until Han Ruchu and Mother Qiao stopped gossiping, then suddenly said, "Lu Jinnian's acting is really impeccable."
Everyone in the room knew that Lu Jinnian was the illegitimate son of the Xu family, and that he had acquired Xu Enterprise. Qiao Anhao's words instantly made the atmosphere in the room awkward.
