Chapter 1075: Chapter 1080: A Guarded Heart
Seeing the people around her whispering, Qiao Hua’er could hardly contain herself and wanted to argue with that group of people, but was stopped by the Zhong Clan.
A year ago, it was indeed Du Yingxue who was at fault first. Even if they argued with others, they couldn’t win the argument.
In the end, they just made themselves a laughing stock to others.
"Mother, do you think they’re being too much?" Qiao Hua’er said unhappily.
It’s Du Yingxue’s shameless business, why must they drag the Du Family into it?
Madam Zhong said irritably, "What if they are too much? Do you have the confidence to argue with them now?"
After the incident, the Du Family’s business had plummeted. Now they were counting on the people present to lend a hand. What right did they have to offend others?
Qiao Hua’er gritted her teeth, "How do we know we can’t win the argument if we don’t try?"
They all think they’re so high and mighty, but aren’t they just good at gossiping behind others’ backs?
"You’d better keep your eyes sharp. If you mess things up again, I’ll have Hao Feng divorce you!" Lady Du warned.
If it weren’t for the relationship between Qiao Hua’er and Qiao Duo’er, she wouldn’t have brought Qiao Hua’er along at all. 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
She hoped that today Qiao Hua’er would put on a good show and win an opportunity for the Du Family.
"Yes," Qiao Hua’er nodded.
But deep down, she was still seething with resentment. Humph, she’d remember this debt; when the Du Family became prosperous again, she’d definitely settle this score with them!
Only when she saw Qiao Hua’er was no longer so impulsive did Madam Zhong take her to the guest room.
As soon as they entered, the originally cheerful crowd turned to look at them, and the room instantly fell silent.
In that moment, the awkwardness reached its peak.
As Duo’er’s best friend, Chen Yiling was also among them.
Seeing the Du Family members, her first reaction was to hug her child tightly and also to give Duo’er a look.
The disappearance of Qin Mingrui was the biggest nightmare of her life.
Although Qin Mingrui was found again, when midnight dreams returned, she would often wake up in a cold sweat.
Qiao Duo’er, understanding the hint, watched the two children even more closely.
"Greetings to Mrs. Tan, Lady Qin."
Madam Zhong and Qiao Hua’er curtsied, finally breaking the awkward atmosphere in the room.
Qiao Duo’er responded indifferently, "No need for such courtesy, Almond, please usher the guests to sit outside."
The Du Family had a history of issues, and she wasn’t comfortable with these two wandering around the room.
For a mother, protecting her child is the most important duty.
"Big sister, it wasn’t me who kidnapped children, why are you sending me away? I’m the babies’ aunt and I’ve even prepared gifts for them," Qiao Hua’er approached Green Group and Tangyuan smilingly.
Looking at the two adorable children, her hand holding the Longevity Lock unconsciously tightened.
How could Qiao Duo’er be so lucky?
Just marrying a poor man, and he strikes it rich.
Having children seemingly at random, and not only does she have both a son and a daughter, but the children are also extraordinarily lovable.
How can there be any fairness left in the world for others?
"Green Group, Tangyuan, do you like this Golden Lock?"
Qiao Hua’er tried to make her voice as gentle as possible.
At that moment, Green Group and Tangyuan had a consistent reaction: they ignored Qiao Hua’er.
No matter how brightly she smiled, they only played with the building blocks in their hands.
The building blocks were designed by Qiao Duo’er, made by Wind Liyang, and since they arrived, the children had been inseparable from them.
Qiao Hua’er continued to coax them, "What you have in your hands is just a broken piece of wood, is it worth as much as gold? Look at this Golden Lock, how shiny and pretty it is!"
The kids were really foolish; could there be anything in this world more desirable than gold?
