Jing Ke carried the rest of the boxes back to the house, leaving only the box that had been kicked over by Jing Yue.
Jing Yue could only carry the box back with a dark face.
When Jing Ke arrived home, Mother Jing was cooking. Seeing that Jing Ke was back, Mother Jing glanced at him and continued with her work.
Jing Ke had long been used to his mother's cold attitude. After telling Mother Jing what he had bought, he went back to the house to deal with his work.
Compared to Jing Ke's coldness at home, Jiujiu enjoyed the enthusiasm of an emperor.
Especially Auntie Qiao. After knowing that Jiujiu had settled the matter of her house, she hugged Jiujiu and kissed her several times. She kept telling Father Qiao that Jiujiu was capable.
"Our daughter is so amazing. Not only is she good-looking, but she also knows how to make money. Now she has even bought a house. Oh, how did I give birth to such an amazing girl?"
Auntie Qiao said as she kissed Jiujiu's face.
The little Golden Retriever, who had been carried home by Jiujiu, also jumped onto the sofa and hugged Jiujiu's arm. He kept licking Jiujiu's cheeks, making Jiujiu giggle.
On the day Jiujiu returned home, the family of three went out to eat hotpot.
During the New Year, Jiujiu became the favorite of the family.
When she went to her grandparents' house, she was praised by Father and Mother Qiao. When the other relatives found out that Jiujiu had made money by writing books, they praised Jiujiu for being capable.
The elders expressed their fondness for her by giving her red packets.
During the New Year, Jiujiu experienced the feeling of counting money until her hands cramped.
They went to visit relatives until the seventh day of the New Year.
Jiujiu heaved a sigh of relief. On the morning of the eighth day of the New Year, Jing Ke came to her house to look for her.
Seeing Jing Ke standing at the door of her house, Jiujiu's expression was very strange.
Why was Jing Ke here?
Jiujiu turned sideways to invite Jing Ke in and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I miss you."
Jing Ke's sudden 'I miss you' made Jiujiu feel at a loss for what to do.
Jiujiu stared blankly at Jing Ke and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Why was he suddenly telling her this?
Jiujiu brought Jing Ke to the living room, served him some fruits and seeds, and poured him a glass of juice. "Don't you need to visit your relatives?"
Jing Ke lowered his eyes. "No need."
After his father passed away, his relatives were afraid that his family would cling onto them, so they cut ties with his family. His mother had a cold personality, so she cut ties with most of her relatives as well. Other than his grandmother's house, they basically didn't go anywhere during the New Year.
Jiujiu didn't expect that Jing Ke didn't want to visit his relatives. She was shocked.
Seeing this, Jiujiu quickly said, "Then why don't you bring me to my house today? Just treat it as visiting relatives."
Jiujiu's suggestion made Jing Ke laugh.
Jing Ke looked at Jiujiu gently. "Which part of my family are you from?"
Jiujiu chuckled. "I'm from wherever you think I'm from. By the way, what do you like to eat? I'll get my mom to make it for you later. Let me tell you, my mom's cooking is delicious."
"I'll eat anything. I'm not picky."
Jiujiu nodded and called Auntie Qiao, who was buying groceries outside. She told her that Jing Ke was here and asked her to come back and buy more groceries.
Auntie Qiao had a good impression of Jing Ke, who took care of Jiujiu. When she heard that Jiujiu said that Jing Ke was here to visit them, she immediately agreed and promised to buy more groceries to cook a good meal for Jing Ke.
Jing Ke and Jiujiu talked for a while before Auntie Qiao and Father Qiao came back.
Jing Ke talked to Auntie Qiao and Father Qiao for a while.
Jing Ke was gentle and wanted to be on good terms with them, so the three of them had a pleasant conversation.
When it was time, Auntie Qiao pulled Jiujiu to the kitchen. Jiujiu washed the vegetables and Auntie Qiao cut them.
Auntie Qiao said as she cut the vegetables, "Darling, why do I feel that Jing Ke is interested in you?"
Jiujiu said, "I don't think so. We're just classmates. Because we're from the same place, we have a good relationship."
"That's not necessarily true."
Auntie Qiao pursed her lips. She was so old, but she had eaten more salt than Jiujiu had eaten rice.
Even if they had a good relationship, there was a limit.
Jing Ke and Jiujiu were so close that he specially came to visit them on the eighth day of the New Year. This was obviously beyond good. In her opinion, Jing Ke must have taken a fancy to their Darling.
But their Darling was good-looking and good at studying. She also knew how to earn money. Who wouldn't like such a good girl?
Auntie Qiao didn't like Jiujiu dating.
But if Jiujiu fell in love with Jing Ke, who was from the same place as them, she could still accept it.
After all, compared to Jiujiu marrying someone from another place, she would rather Jiujiu marry a local.
During dinner, Father and Auntie Qiao kept putting food on Jing Ke's plate, making him feel a little embarrassed.
After dinner, Jiujiu started to discuss with Jing Ke how they were going to go back when school started.
Hearing that Jiujiu and Jing Ke were going to school, Father and Auntie Qiao went out to play mahjong.
Jiujiu discussed with Jing Ke and planned to leave on the 13th.
If they left on the 13th, then they would arrive on the 14th. On the 15th, they would have a day off and school would start on the 16th.
Moreover, Father and Auntie Qiao could drive them to the train station on that day.
After the two of them agreed, Jing Ke stayed for a while longer before going home.
When he reached home, the house was still cold. Auntie Qiao was cold to him and his domineering sister.
The good mood that had arisen from seeing Jiujiu was instantly destroyed because of this.
On the afternoon of the 13th, Father and Auntie Qiao went to pick Jing Ke up.
Jiujiu rang the doorbell of Jing Ke's house and Jing Yue opened the door.
When she saw that it was Jiujiu, Jing Yue glared at Jiujiu and slammed the door shut.
Jiujiu stood at the door and heard Jing Ke ask Jing Yue, "Who's knocking on the door?"
Jing Yue replied, "It's the wrong door."
She already hated Jing Yue and because of this, Jiujiu hated Jing Yue even more.
Jiujiu picked up her phone and called Jing Ke. "I'm at your door. Your sister has closed the door. Come out quickly."
Jing Ke hung up the phone and looked at Jing Yue gloomily as he walked to open the door.
Jing Yue felt cold under Jing Ke's murderous gaze. When she calmed down, she saw Jing Ke standing at the door and Jiujiu standing at the door, smiling at Jing Ke.
Seeing that Jing Ke's face had softened because of Jiujiu's smile, Jing Yue felt jealous. She looked at Jiujiu with even more jealousy.
Jing Yue glared fiercely at Jiujiu and went upstairs to her room.
Jing Ke didn't care about Jing Yue. He took out his luggage, told Mother Jing that he was leaving and went out.
Mother Jing sat on the sofa with no intention of getting up to send Jing Ke off.
Jiujiu looked at the way Jing Ke, Jing Yue and Mother Jing interacted with each other and felt strange.
In Qiao Yinan's memory, although the relationship between Jing Ke and Mother Jing wasn't as close as ordinary people, it wasn't to the point of being so distant.
As for Jing Yue, in Jiujiu's memory, Jing Ke also treated her well.
Could it be that the relationship between Jing Ke's family had deteriorated because of her butterfly wings?
