Chapter 1017 Are you homesick?

The relationship between Qin Liang and Wang Yu has always been a subject of much speculation.

Although Qin Liang has clearly stated that his relationship with Wang Yu was a normal one of meeting, falling in love, and getting married.

But among wealthy families, there are only so many things going on, and everyone knows exactly what they're like but keeps quiet about it.

Therefore, it's hard not to speculate when Qin Ji becomes the acting president of Qin's Group.

Was Qin Liang making this decision to make up for his guilt towards Wang Yu, or was it Wang Yu who insisted that Qin Liang make this decision?

In short, the fact that Qin Ji became the acting president of Qin's Group has generated a great deal of controversy, both among the media and the general public.

Qiao Xing also learned from the internet that Qin Ji had gone to the Qin family.

Many netizens have different opinions on this matter, but Qiao Xing remains unmoved.

Others may not know what happened, but for those in the know, this was expected.

This precisely confirms her inner suspicions.

There is a high probability that Qin Ce's misfortune was related to Qin Ji.

Wang Yu has always wanted Qin Ji to go to the Qin family, and perhaps this matter is also related to her.

Even if Wang Yu was unaware of the situation, Qin Ji was still her son, and Qiao Xing didn't believe she had absolutely no connection to it.

However, Xing Jiu hasn't been able to find any new information.

Even if Qiao Xing had doubts, he couldn't produce any evidence.

Qiao Xing didn't care who Qin Shi would end up with, nor did she care about the matter.

All she wanted to know was who had turned Qin Ce into the person he was now.

After reading the news online for a while, Qiao Xing felt annoyed and didn't want to read any more.

Just as she was about to shut down her computer, she suddenly saw another news item.

"Shen Congyao, a member of the Shen Group, has been admitted to the hospital with severe stomach cancer; his condition is critical..."

When Qiao Xing saw this report, he was shocked.

Although it was already known that Shen's father was not in good condition, the outside world had not reported on it.

Now even the media is starting to pay attention to Shen's father's situation, which shows that his condition is really not optimistic.

Qiao Xing thought for a moment, then took out her phone and called Shen Boyan.

However, after the phone rang once, Qiao Xing was reminded that the other party was busy.

Qiao Xing tried calling twice more, but Shen Boyan still didn't answer.

Qiao Xing didn't think much of it, assuming he was busy and didn't have time to check his phone.

"Madam, the meal is ready."

Aunt Wu stood at the door and knocked on Qiao Xing's door.

Qiao Xing put the computer away. "Here it is."

Although Qiao Xing lived alone in the villa, Aunt Wu still carefully prepared meals for him every day.

She's a good cook, and all the dishes she makes suit Qiao Xing's taste perfectly.

Considering that Qiao Xing is pregnant, Aunt Wu will pay extra attention to her diet.

Although she didn't understand professional nutrition matching, she still learned to find guides online in order to take care of Qiao Xing, and even specially prepared a set of diet plans suitable for Qiao Xing's constitution.

Qiao Xing sat at the dining table, looking at the delicious-looking food. She usually had a small appetite, but every time she saw these dishes, she would unconsciously feel very hungry.

"Aunt Wu, come and eat with us."

Qiao Xing called out to Aunt Wu, who was busy in the kitchen.

Aunt Wu wiped her wet hands and said to Qiao Xing with a smile, "Madam, please eat. I made these especially for you. They're good for you and the baby. Please eat more."

Aunt Wu was used to serving others. When she used to cook for rich people, she couldn't even stay in the kitchen for too long, let alone sit at the table and eat with the host.

Servants have their own designated dining area, and Aunt Wu knew the rules, so she didn't dare to sit and eat with Qiao Xing.

Qiao Xing understood Aunt Wu's concern; she was afraid of breaking the rules, but in such a large house, she was the only one sitting at the dining table eating.

Not only was it boring, but it also had an inexplicably eerie atmosphere.

Qiao Xing didn't like this. She got up from the dining table, went straight to the kitchen, and pulled Aunt Wu out of the kitchen.

"It's just the two of us here, so there aren't many complicated rules. I can't finish all this by myself, so just consider it as keeping me company while I eat."

Aunt Wu was flattered and overwhelmed. She sat in the chair, looking quite awkward, and kept saying, "Madam, this isn't appropriate..."

Qiao Xing handed her the chopsticks, "There's no such thing as appropriate or inappropriate, let's eat."

Aunt Wu quickly took the chopsticks from Qiao Xing's hand, her eyes welling up with tears as she said, "Madam, you are such a kind person..."

Seeing her so emotional, Qiao Xing felt a pang of sadness welling up inside him as well.

Back when I lived in Chongqing with Grandpa Qin and Qin Ce, our home wasn't exactly bustling, but it was at least warm and cozy.

She would occasionally accompany Grandpa Qin for a walk or to play chess, and she would watch him constantly fiddling with the flowers he grew on the balcony, muttering to himself.

Although she and Qin Ce were busy with work, they rarely went out on dates or shopping like other couples.

But Qin Ce always finds ways to surprise her.

Back then, Grandpa Qin would laugh at Qin Ce, saying that he was a stubborn old man who had become a completely different person after marrying Qiao Xing.

Yu Cheng's home is as big as this villa, and it feels very spacious even when no one is home.

But that home had Qin Ce and Grandpa Qin; that was the true home, full of warmth and life.

"Madam, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

When Aunt Wu looked up, she saw Qiao Xing with her head down and two tears falling from her eyes. She panicked for a moment.

"Is the food not to your liking? Why don't you stop eating and I'll make it again..."

Qiao Xing realized that she was actually crying when she came to her senses.

She laughed awkwardly and said to Aunt Wu, "It's not that the food is bad, don't be nervous. It's just that I was thinking about some things, which is why I feel upset."

Aunt Wu was relieved. She went over and gently patted Qiao Xing's shoulder. "Are you homesick?"

Aunt Wu was sent by Qin Ce through Xing Jiu, so apart from knowing that Qin Ce was relatively wealthy and the relationship between Qin Ce and Qiao Xing, she knew nothing else.

But she was also a woman, and she had her own child. She knew that a woman's emotions were most sensitive after she became pregnant.

Qiao Xing didn't live with her parents, and she had no other relatives around her. How could a young girl like her, who was pregnant, not miss home?

Aunt Wu comforted Qiao Xing and said softly, "I also have a daughter, but she passed away from illness several years ago. She should be about your age. If you don't mind, just treat me as an elder. If there's anything you can't figure out, just tell me."

When Aunt Wu talked about her daughter, there was no sadness in her eyes, but rather a sense of relief.

Her words of comfort brought Qiao Xing some solace.

She should be grateful that Qin Ce arranged for Aunt Wu to take care of her, otherwise she would really be all alone now.
