Family He's Urgent Call
Qiao Qiao's father hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. "Shaochen, this has nothing to do with Qiao Qiao. We made the decision ourselves, so please don't blame her."
He Shaochen's brows were almost knitted together when he heard that. He thought about it and said calmly, "Father-in-law, my mother was in the wrong today as well. Please don't take it to heart."
Qiao Qiao's father shook his head and smiled awkwardly. "No, your mother wasn't in the wrong. It was our fault."
"…" He Shaochen wasn't used to such a roundabout way of communicating. His gaze swept across the Qiao family before returning to Qiao Qiao's father. "Let's stay here tonight."
"No need, no need. We've already decided to go to the hotel."
Qiao Qiao's father seemed amiable, but his attitude was firm. He Shaochen knew that he couldn't find any loopholes in his father's words, so he could only change the target and look at Aunt Joe.
Qiao Qiao saw He Shaochen's gaze shift to Aunt Joe and immediately knew what he was thinking. She tugged on his sleeve and pursed her lips. "He Shaochen, you don't have to persuade him anymore. Let everyone calm down today."
"What about you?"
This was actually the question that concerned He Shaochen the most.
What about her? Was she going to move out with the Qiao family?
Qiao Qiao's lips twitched as she forced a smile. She said calmly, "Mom's emotions aren't too stable yet. I'll stay with her for the next few days."
"Then I'll …"
"You don't have to come with us. I'll be here alone. Don't worry, I'll only be here for a few days." Qiao Qiao knew He Shaochen's concerns, so she reassured him.
He Shaochen had no choice. He knew that they had already made up their minds, so he could only pull out his phone and say, "Then I'll send two cars over to take you to the hotel."
"No need!" Qiao Qiao immediately refused.
He Shaochen was a little angry now. This woman did not use this and did not use that. Did she intend to exclude him completely?
"Joe Qiao, you …"
Qiao Qiao interrupted, "I know you're doing this for my own good, but for the time being, let's not accept any more favors from Family He, even if it's just a ride."
The more he accepted, the heavier the shackles on his heart.
"Then I'll send you off, okay?" He Shaochen sighed. If this woman refused again, he would definitely continue in his own way.
This time, Qiao Qiao did not object.
She pursed her lips and looked at him uncertainly. She asked, "I won't disturb you, right? You still have to work tomorrow. "
"It's fine." He Shaochen took the luggage from Mother He's hands and said, "Let's go. I know the nearest hotel."

Then, in the middle of the night, they saw a wonderful scene.
In the famous wealthy district of A City, a group of people were walking in the district with their families. Qiao Qiao lowered her head and followed He Shaochen in a low mood. The family was happy in the morning, but tonight they were all gloomy and gloomy.
Before they walked out of the neighborhood, He Shaochen's phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID but did not pick it up. He put it in his pocket and continued walking. But a few minutes later, the phone rang again. This time, He Shaochen was too lazy to pick it up.
Qiao Qiao looked at He Shaochen curiously and reminded him in a low voice, "He Shaochen, your phone is ringing."
He Shaochen did not look sideways. He looked at the road ahead and said calmly, "I know."
"You don't understand?"
"I don't."
"…" The phone kept ringing. Qiao Qiao became more and more curious. She could not help but remind him again, "He Shaochen, maybe it's something urgent. You should pick it up."
He Shaochen looked back at her. His dark eyes were slightly lowered, hiding most of the emotions in his eyes. After a few seconds, he sighed and decided to pick up the phone.
Soon, his calm face became serious. When he heard something, he looked back at Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao looked at him in confusion.
Did this have something to do with her?
After hanging up the phone, He Shaochen sighed softly and said to Qiao Qiao, "There's something at home. I need to go back to deal with it."
"Is it because of us?" Qiao Qiao asked uncertainly.
The worry in her eyes was so obvious that He Shaochen could not help but feel sorry for her. He reached out to ruffle Qiao Qiao's hair and said, "Don't worry. I can handle this. You don't have to worry."
Qiao Qiao nodded heavily. "Okay, I know."
He Shaochen called the driver and told him the approximate location. Not long after, the car drove over. Before leaving, He Shaochen said to Qiao Qiao, "If you need anything, just call me directly."
"Okay, I will."
Qiao Qiao replied.
After He Shaochen left, Aunt Joe looked back and forth at Qiao Qiao.
If it were any other time, she would have already told Qiao Qiao. However, after what happened tonight, she could not bring herself to say anything.
Disaster comes from the mouth. She sighed deeply and did not intend to say another word.
The neighborhood was huge and was divided into many districts, such as District A, District B, District C … and so on. There were a total of 12 districts, and each district existed independently. Therefore, even if people lived in the same wealthy district, it would be difficult to meet each other if they were in different districts.
Qiao Qiao and the others had just passed through District C. If they wanted to leave the wealthy district, they would have to pass through District B and District A. At this time, there were no taxis. It would probably be the middle of the night before they could get to the hotel.
After walking for a while, Qiao Hui could not take it anymore and started to shout, "How much longer do we have to walk? My legs are numb. "
"We should be there soon," Qiao Qiao replied calmly.
She used to take a car in and out of the neighborhood. This was her first time walking, so she only had a vague idea of how much longer they had to walk.
"It would be great if there was a taxi," Qiao Hui shouted.
"Little sister, where do you think this is? Do people who can live here need to take a taxi? The taxi driver won't get in. Unless it's a special situation, don't even think about getting in a taxi here. "
Liu Mengying said coldly.
"Hmph." Qiao Hui had just quarreled with Liu Mengying. Now that she heard her speak, she felt very unhappy. She walked in front angrily.
At this time, the sound of a car engine came from afar. It seemed to be driving towards them. When Qiao Hui heard this, her face lit up with joy. "Great, it must be a taxi!"
However, when the car came closer, she realized that it was a private car.
Qiao Hui's little face fell. She lowered her head and continued to walk forward. However, at this time, the car stopped in front of them.
