Qiao Qiao's Self-Reproach
"Qiao Qiao, can you keep your mouth shut?" Qiao Qiao said coldly.
This girl always said whatever came to her mind without considering other people's feelings.
Qiao Qiao had scolded Qiao Qiao the last time and she remembered it. She pouted and said unhappily, "I was just lamenting. What's wrong? Sister, you're great now. You're Family He's daughter-in-law and the Xu family's daughter. You'll be completely different from us commoners."
"Qiao Qiao!"
"Hmph!"
"Alright, let's not quarrel anymore." Father Qiao said tiredly. He glanced at Qiao Hui and said, "Xiao Hui, go inside first. Aren't the finals tomorrow?"
"Hmph, I don't have time to study anyway. Isn't it the same whether I take the exams or not? Anyway, I can't compare to my sister, the top student! " Qiao Hui said angrily, but she still turned around and went into the house. The door was slammed shut and the whole house seemed to shake.
Liu Mengying frowned and said unhappily, "Dad, Mom, don't you care about that girl? How much has she been spoiled? If it were my family and I slammed the door like that, I don't know how my parents would beat me up. "
"You should keep your mouth shut too!" Father Qiao said sternly.
Liu Mengying choked on her words and closed her mouth unhappily. Then she heard Father Qiao say to Qiao Nan, "You, take your daughter-in-law back to the house. Mom and Dad want to talk to Qiao Qiao alone."
"Dad, we …" Qiao Nan was also very curious about this matter, but Father Qiao glared at him. In fact, Father Qiao usually didn't ask about this matter, but he still had the aura of the head of the family. Now that he glared at him, Qiao Nan could only bring Liu Mengying into the house.
After that, only Qiao Qiao, Father Qiao, and Aunt Qiao were left in the living room.
"Qiao Qiao, it's really hard for you to stay in this house." Father Qiao's voice was filled with exhaustion.
Qiao Qiao bit her lip and shook her head violently. Her voice was a little hoarse as she said, "Dad, don't say that. I've never felt wronged."
Aunt Qiao suddenly burst into tears. She covered her red face and Qiao Qiao's heart felt stifled. She quickly sat beside Aunt Qiao and said, "Mom, don't cry too."
"It's all because Mom and Dad are useless. You're being looked down upon by the He family. That's why Shaochen came up with such a plan.
Qiaoqiao's heart choked with panic. She choked and said, "Mom, why are you saying this? What does this have to do with you? "
Auntie Qiao had always hoped that she would marry into a rich family so that their family could live a good life. However, in her heart, she had always felt inferior. She was afraid of being looked down upon by others, so she wanted to climb up the social ladder.
"No, you don't understand. You don't understand. It's Mom and Dad who let you down. It's us who let you down." Aunt Qiao was bawling her eyes out. Father Qiao couldn't take it anymore and said in a deep voice, "That's enough, Meiling. You're still in front of the child. Be careful."
Aunt Qiao couldn't stop crying. Father Qiao couldn't do anything about it.
He could only say to Qiao Qiao, "Qiao Qiao, does the Xu family treat you well?"
Qiao Qiao was stunned. She nodded gloomily and said in a hoarse voice, "I haven't met the elders of the Xu family, but Eldest Sister and Second Sister are very easy to get along with."
The Xu family had been very good to her these days.
Father Qiao nodded and said, "That's good. It seems like they're a good family. Dad can rest assured then."
Hearing Father Qiao's tone, Qiao Qiao had the misconception that he was entrusting her to someone else. She hurriedly said, "Mom, Dad, don't think too much. This is just a temporary measure. Shaochen's mother places a lot of importance on this aspect, so … so …"
Qiao Qiao didn't know what to say.
Her heart was in a mess. Guilt and self-blame piled up in her heart. She couldn't even sort out her emotions, let alone comfort Father Qiao and Aunt Qiao.
She had just criticized Qiao Qiao, thinking that her words had hurt Father Qiao and Aunt Qiao's hearts. However, Qiao Qiao knew in her heart that her behavior was the most overboard.
Just because her family background wasn't good enough, she had to ask someone else to be her parents. How could there be such a ridiculous thing in the world? Her behavior was a harsh slap to Father Qiao and Aunt Qiao's faces. It was as if she was saying, "Your status is too low. I have no choice but to find someone richer to be my parents."
This was heart-wrenching!
"I'm sorry, Mom, Dad. I was wrong. I shouldn't have done this. It's my fault." Qiao Qiao suddenly burst into tears. Seeing her parents, who had aged a lot, she couldn't hold it in any longer.
She knelt in front of Father Qiao and Aunt Qiao, sobbing uncontrollably.
When Aunt Qiao saw this, she forgot to cry and hurriedly got up to help Qiao Qiao up. "Silly girl, why are you apologizing? The floor is cold. Hurry and get up."
Qiao Qiao shook her head vigorously, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Mom, Dad, I was wrong. Scold me all you want. I'm the ingrate. You worked so hard to raise me for so many years, but I …"
"Silly child, Dad and Mom don't mean to blame you. The He family's family background is there. You and Shaochen are truly in love and want to be together. If you don't have a matching family background, his parents will only look down on you, and Dad and Mom will only blame ourselves more." Father Qiao also comforted in a trembling voice.
But the more Father Qiao and Aunt Qiao comforted her, the more Qiao Qiao felt that what she had done was ridiculous and outrageous. She didn't deserve to be a child at all. The shame in her heart was driving her crazy.
This was all because of family background.
Why was family background so important? In the eyes of rich people, did being well-matched in family background mean everything?
Could it be that people who truly loved each other couldn't overcome the disparity in family background?
Unknowingly, even she and He Shaochen had compromised with family background. They could only settle for the second-best method, which was to borrow the identity of a rich family's daughter to curry favor with Mother He.
But by doing so, why didn't she think of putting her parents' standpoint in front of her?
Joe Qiao, how did you become this kind of person?
Qiao Qiao asked herself in her heart.
"Alright, alright, hurry and get up. How can you cry like this?" Father Qiao finally said in a low voice.
Aunt Qiao nodded and hurriedly pulled Qiao Qiao up. "Qiao Qiao, be good. Hurry and get up. Although you're the Xu family's fourth daughter now, you'll always be Mom and Dad's precious daughter. This won't change. Mom and Dad know that you were forced into this situation. That's why Shaochen used this method to get along with you. We all understand."
"But when I did this, I didn't … didn't consider … your feelings at all …" Qiao Qiao sobbed.
"The higher you can climb, the happier Mom and Dad will be. You should have stood at a higher position in the first place. Mom and Dad are useless and made you suffer for so many years …"
Before Aunt Qiao could finish speaking, Father Qiao stopped her with a look.
