A showdown
Qiao Qiao was startled by Qiao Hui's shout. She was shocked and aggrieved. "Sister, what are you doing?"
It was the first time she had been yelled at so fiercely by Qiao Qiao, and her eyes immediately turned red.
Qiao Qiao looked at her younger sister sternly, feeling both angry and disappointed. Everyone had seen Qiao Hui's reaction earlier, and it was clear who was right and who was wrong.
However, she still didn't know that she was wrong at this time. Qiao Qiao's anger burned more fiercely.
"As your elder sister, I feel that I have to tell you one thing. There must be a limit to your willfulness! Before you do anything, use your brain and think about the consequences of your actions! "
Qiao Hui was instantly enraged. "Joe Qiao! That's enough! Don't think that I'll be afraid of you just because you're my sister! Who do you think you are? Isn't it just forcing me to be older by a few years? Why are you lecturing me? "
"Because I'm your sister, I have the right!"
"Qiao Qiao, Xiao Hui is still a child. Don't lower yourself to her level …"
Aunt Joe tried to smooth things over with reddened eyes.
Qiaoqiao looked at Auntie Qiao. This middle-aged woman was a little snobbish, but she truly cared for her well being. Her heart was filled with emotions as she said in a deep voice, "Mom, you can't spoil her like this. Is Qiao Hui young? She's not young anymore. She should be 18 this year. She's about to enter the adult realm. If she doesn't know what's important and what's not, it'll only harm her in the future! "
"I know, I know …" Aunt Joe began to cry as she spoke.
She choked on her sobs and said, "I've caused you trouble. I know you despise me and this family. If it weren't for us dragging you down, you wouldn't be despised by the Family He. I'm sorry. I'll leave now, okay?"
Aunt Joe didn't understand Qiao Qiao at all. She felt that Qiao Qiao was despising her because she couldn't marry into a rich family and was crying sadly.
Qiao Qiao couldn't bear to see Aunt Joe cry. When she saw Aunt Joe cry, she couldn't help but tear up as well. She held Aunt Joe's shoulders and sobbed, "Mom, I didn't mean to despise you. please don't be like this."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was too complacent. I apologize to you, okay? I'm sorry!"
It was heartbreaking for parents apologizing to their children.
Auntie Qiao's every apology was like a knife stabbing into Qiaoqiao's heart. She shook her head desperately. "Mom, don't be like this. I beg you, don't be like this …"
"Meiling, aren't you making things difficult for the child? Don't cry. " Qiao Qiao's father also came up to persuade her. He didn't agree to come to A City from the beginning, but Aunt Joe was stubborn. The whole family wanted to come, so he could only agree.
But in the end? They made such a big joke.
"Mom, it's not that I want to criticize you, but why do you have to say that it's because of you that Qiaoqiao was able to marry into the He Family? People are bragging too much. Don't you see …" Liu Mengying began to make sarcastic remarks again.
Qiao Qiao glared at Liu Mengying. "Sister-in-law, what good will it do for you to make sarcastic remarks at this time?"
Liu Mengying shrugged. "Aiya, anyway, the truth can't escape someone's ears. Forget it, pretend I didn't say these words. It seems that we can't stay here any longer. Let's go back to D City obediently."
"The promotion … is also over?" Qiao Nan looked at Liu Mengying in astonishment.
He had just gone to the headquarters to say hello. Those people knew about his relationship with Family He and rushed to curry favor with him. It was the first time Qiao Nan had enjoyed such treatment, and it was quite enjoyable.
However, Liu Mengying said that all of this might be just a reflection in the water. He couldn't accept it.
Liu Mengying saw that Qiao Nan still didn't understand the situation and sneered. "Do you think that Family He's old lady is just a decoration? She already said some harsh words today. Do you think we still have a chance? Go to sleep! "
Aunt Joe cried even harder when she heard this. She looked like she was going to faint from crying. She felt even more guilty towards Qiao Qiao. "Qiao Qiao, I'm sorry. Mom has let you down."
Qiao Qiao's tears kept falling. She looked at Aunt Joe with heartache and said in a hoarse voice, "Mom … don't be like this …"
Even Father Qiao couldn't help but tear up at this scene. He took a deep breath and said, "Qiao Qiao, let's leave for today and stay in a hotel outside. You … see how the situation goes tomorrow. Go to Family He and sound them out. If possible, we'll find another opportunity to apologize to Shaochen's mother."
Qiao Qiao looked at Father Qiao with a tired face. "I'll handle this matter. Mom, Dad, you can go back first. I'll call you if there's anything."
"Okay."
Father Qiao replied. He then turned to Qiao Nan and Qiao Hui and said, "Go and pack your things. We're going to the hotel now."
The family had come in a grandiose manner and left gloomily. When everyone was carrying bags of various sizes, Qiao Qiao realized something embarrassing. They had only been here for a few days, but her family had bought a lot of things. Liu Mengying and Qiao Hui, in particular, were carrying bags of various sizes. He Shaochen had probably paid for all these things.
If she were in Mother He's shoes, she would probably be displeased to see such a difficult family.
Putting herself in He Mu's shoes, Qiaoqiao could understand He Mu's mood today.
They had just reached the entrance of the villa when they saw He Shaochen walking towards them.
He Shaochen had just coaxed Mother He into the car. Before he could heave a sigh of relief, he saw the Qiao family dragging their family along. He couldn't help but be stunned. His gaze landed on Qiao Qiao. He realized that her eyes were red and there were still traces of tears on her face.
Tonight's incident must have been quite a blow to her.
He Shaochen's heart ached for her. He walked over and took Qiao Qiao's hand. He looked at the Qiao family and asked, "What's going on? Where are you going so late at night? "
Aunt Joe didn't dare to look into He Shaochen's eyes. She lowered her head and didn't say a word. Papa Qiao said apologetically, "Shaochen, our family has caused you a lot of trouble. Please forgive us. We didn't want to see what happened tonight. Please apologize to your mother on our behalf. We're too embarrassed to stay here. We'll be staying at a hotel tonight."
He Shaochen's frown deepened when he heard that.
He looked at Qiao Qiao and asked with a frown, "Is this what you want as well?"
Because of what happened tonight, Qiao Qiao was too embarrassed to face He Shaochen. She pursed her lips and nodded. "Yeah. We'll be staying at a hotel tonight. We'll think of a way to apologize when your mother's anger subsides."
"Nonsense!"
He Shaochen said in a deep voice. He said to Qiao Qiao, "It's so late. Where are you going to stay at a hotel? Qiao Qiao, you're already an adult. Don't you know your limits? "
Qiao Qiao bit her lip and didn't say a word.
