Qiao Lan stood at the school entrance in a daze for a long time.
It was time to go home after school, but she didn't know where Qiao Lan's home was.
After thinking for a long time, she remembered that Qiao Lan's parents opened a small restaurant in front of the school. Qiao Lan's family wasn't very well off, so the restaurant shouldn't be very big, and the number of customers might be average.
Qiao Lan walked to the opposite side of the school and eliminated a few big restaurants with booming business. After just two of them, she found Qiao Lan's parents' small restaurant.
It was really a 'small' restaurant. The four tables were so crowded that it was suffocating. The restaurant was dark, and the strong smell of food with excessive MSG wafted in the air. Qiao Lan was just standing at the entrance when a little fatty came in from behind. He didn't try to avoid Qiao Lan and pushed her to the side. "Why are you standing at the entrance? There's an exhibition." After saying that, he wobbled into the restaurant.
Qiao Lan frowned and stared at the back of the little fatty's head for a long time before following him in.
This restaurant only served home-cooked dishes. Students ordered rice and two dishes, just like in the cafeteria. After school, there were many students in the restaurant. Qiao Lan's father was in charge of cooking, and Qiao Lan's mother was in charge of getting food for the students. Qiao Lan followed Qiao Yuan into the kitchen. Qiao Lan's father, who was cooking, saw his precious son and smiled like a flower. "Yuan 'er, school is over."
After asking his son all sorts of questions, he seemed to have just noticed Qiao Lan. When he saw that Qiao Lan didn't even try to help, and then looked at Qiao Lan's pale face, he was furious and his fatherly smile disappeared.
"Why are you standing there? There are so many people in the restaurant, and you're not going to help. Are you trying to vent your anger?"
Qiao Lan glanced behind her. There were quite a lot of students, so she should help. After a few seconds of silence, she put down her bag and went to help Qiao Lan's mother carry the dishes.
Qiao Lan didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of work. In her previous life, she had done this kind of work to pay for her school fees.
Qiao Yuan brought the dishes out and took back the empty plates. The moment she entered, she saw that Father Qiao had quickly cooked three dishes and placed them in front of Little Fatty Qiao Yuan.
Two meat dishes and one vegetable dish. The dishes were clean and clean. It was obviously not on the same level as the oily and greasy dishes sold to the students.
Qiao Lan saved money to buy lollipops for her classmates every day. If she didn't eat, she would starve to death. Now that she saw the food, she realized that she was hungry. Just as she was about to put down the plate and wash her hands to eat, Father Qiao looked at her with a "What are you doing?" expression.
"Why are you washing your hands? You can wash them after you're done. Quick, quick, go out and help your mother settle the bill." Then, he turned around and said with a loving expression, "Son, you eat first. Dad will make more if it's not enough."
Qiao Lan looked at Father Qiao and then looked at Qiao Yuan, who was eating happily. She threw the plate into the sink, washed her hands, picked up her bag, and left without looking back.
Father Qiao and Qiao Yuan were left behind. After a while, Father Qiao finally started scolding her.
"Get back here! Who are you throwing a tantrum at? You're not happy to do work, are you? You're not happy to do work, you're not happy to study, and you don't know what's the use of raising you …"
Qiao Lan took her bag and left the house, blocking Father Qiao's scolding from her ears.
She felt around in her pocket and found that she still had five yuan. She went to the shop next door and bought the cheapest bread. Sitting on a small stone stool not far from the dining area, she took out her book and ate the bread while reading.
It was chemistry.
Qiao Lan was quite glad that it had only been a month since the start of the first year of high school. She didn't learn much, so even if she fell behind, she could quickly make up for it.
Qiao Lan used to be a liberal arts student. Even though history and geography had been in the past for a long time, she still remembered it. Before she transmigrated, Qiao Lan was in her second year of university. She majored in finance, but she was pretty good at math. She had just taken the CET-6 English exam.
Therefore, she mainly wanted to study physics and chemistry.
While eating her bread and reading a chapter on chemistry, the sky outside gradually darkened. Finally, she saw Little Fatty walk out of the restaurant.
Father Qiao and Mother Qiao stood at the door and reminded their son to be careful before they returned to the restaurant.
Qiao Lan put away her book and followed Little Fatty back to the Qiao family's house.
The Qiao family's house was an old one. It only had six floors and was bought by the Qiao family a long time ago. Qiao Yuan walked into the corridor while humming "Moonlight". She was shocked when she turned around and saw a dark figure.
When she saw that it was Qiao Lan, she widened her eyes and kicked Qiao Lan's leg. "Why are you sneaking around? Are you trying to scare me to death?"
Qiao Lan stepped on Qiao Yuan's leg and walked over. Qiao Yuan howled, "Are you blind?"
Old Lady Joe, who was watching TV at home, hurriedly opened the door when she heard her grandson howling like a pig being slaughtered. "What's wrong? Where's your brother?"
"Behind you." Qiao Lan darted into the room, put down her school bag, went to the bathroom, and closed the door.
Qiao Yuan covered his foot and walked in crying. Actually, it didn't hurt anymore. However, when he looked down and saw a black footprint on his white sneakers, he was furious. Father Qiao had bought him a new pair of shoes the day before yesterday. They were branded! In the end, they were dirtied. Qiao Yuan.
She rushed into Qiao Lan's room but couldn't find him. Only then did she see that the bathroom light was on. She stood at the door and started shouting.
When Old Lady Joe heard that Qiao Lan had stepped on her grandson's foot, she instantly joined the ranks of people banging on the door. "You're an adult. Don't you have eyes when you walk?"
Qiao Yuan didn't focus on the pain in his foot but the shoes. He cried, "My new shoes."
"Let your third sister wash them for you later …"
"They won't be new if they're washed …"
The grandmother and grandson were shouting outside. After a while, they arranged a bunch of work for Qiao Lan on their own.
Qiao Lan didn't have parents in the past. Fortunately, she was in a good mood and sponsored her to go to university. At that time, she always imagined how good it would be to have parents and a family one day.
Now that she had parents, an old man and a young girl, Qiao Lan felt that it was better not to have them.
With such family members, she would rather be an orphan.
She had to think of a way to move out and break away from the Qiao family. However, she was still a high school student. Where to live and what to do with her living expenses were all things she had to slowly plan.
Thinking about this, Qiao Lan ignored the commotion outside. Her gaze fell on the face in the mirror.
When she saw it, she frowned.
According to the novel, Qiao Lan was a girl who had turned the tables with her looks.
According to the novel, Qiao Lan wasn't good-looking in high school. She was thin, sallow, and had nothing to do with being beautiful. Later, she fell in love with Chen Yaoyang, but Chen Yaoyang hated her. She was also jealous of Song Yao and hurt Song Yao, so she directly dropped out of school.
After that, there was no news of her. It wasn't until a few years later that she made a stunning return. With her looks, she seduced a few rich playboys and caused trouble for Song Yao.
Unfortunately, Qiao Lan was still that sallow, sallow, and skinny clown.
Not only that, Qiao Lan's face was obviously smeared with a layer of low-quality makeup. Perhaps it was BB cream or foundation, but when applied, her face was pale and purple. That wasn't all. She applied it on her face but not her neck, so the color of her ears and neck was several degrees darker than her face.
In addition, her eyes were also covered with poor eyeliner, which directly turned her double eyelids into inner double eyelids.
The corner of Qiao Lan's mouth twitched slightly as she squeezed some facial cleanser. After washing her face twice, Qiao Lan's facial features were finally revealed.
Her face was very small and oval, but because she was too thin, there was no beauty at all. Her nose bridge was very high, and her lips were not as plump as a girl's and were slightly thin. Her pair of phoenix eyes were slender and upturned, which was the highlight of her face.
Song Yao had almond-shaped eyes and cherry lips. At first glance, one could tell that she was sweet and harmless. Qiao Lan's face was the opposite of Song Yao's. Compared to Song Yao, Qiao Lan's facial features were more aggressive.
No wonder people said that Qiao Lan could make a stunning comeback in the future. With such facial features, she definitely had the capital to be stunning.
However, as the saying goes, a white face covers up a hundred ugliness, and a black face destroys everything. Although Qiao Lan wasn't considered dark, her skin was dull, and her complexion was dark yellow. Her complexion was not good, and her entire person was colorless. Her long hair was like withered grass, and her lips were so dry that they were peeling. She was so thin that she didn't even have a human shape. She even painted her eyes, which were the most attractive part, into inner double eyelids.
No matter how much BB cream she applied, how could she look good without collagen on her pale face? Qiao Lan couldn't understand the brain circuit of Qiao Lan in the novel. If she had saved more money to drink more milk and eat more eggs, she definitely wouldn't look like this.
A good face, but it was ruined to the point that she looked neither human nor ghost.
After washing her face, she walked out of the bathroom. The house of the Qiao family was very old, but it was quite big. After all, she used to have two older sisters. Qiao Lan looked around and entered the smallest house in the south.
Not long after she sat down, Qiao Lan kicked the door open and walked in with a big belly. She raised her chin and pointed at the shoes at the door arrogantly.
"Wash them clean for me. They must look exactly like new." After saying that, she saw that Qiao Lan didn't move. She urged, "Hurry up. The sooner you wash them, the sooner they dry. I have to wear them in two days!"
