Chapter 249: The Second Branch of the Qiao Family is Embarrassed

Mrs. Qiao said coldly, "Before this, we had no idea that the disciple Master Hong'an wanted to accept was Qingci, nor did we know that Qingci was so good at painting. It was only when Master Hong'an said he would hold a banquet to welcome his disciples that we passed the news on to you!"

"That's your daughter, and you didn't even know about it? Who would believe you if you told others about it?" Mrs. Qiao Er thought it was ridiculous, her eyes filled with resentment and grievance.

Qiao Yashu was about to cry.

Most people still sympathize with the weak, and many people felt pity when they saw this scene.

"I feel like Qiao Yashu is really pitiful... Is there something wrong with Mr. Qiao and the others? Since it's a disciple-apprenticeship banquet, they should ask clearly who the banquet belongs to..."

"Yeah, it made them happy for nothing, and embarrassed them in public."

"I feel like if it were me, I would probably be like Qiao Yashu, after all, I had no idea Qiao Qingci could paint."

"Is this a deliberate calculation?"

Some people looked at Qiao Yanfei with changed eyes.

When Mrs. Qiao Er saw this scene, she sneered in her heart. Even if Qiao Yashu did not become Master Hong'an's apprentice, it was enough to be able to do this.

In the future, everyone will know how Qiao Qingci bullied Qiao Yashu.

Qiao Qingci will never have a good reputation again.

Qiao Yanfei's reputation will also be implicated.

"What does this have to do with them?" Master Hong'an's voice suddenly came.

Master Hong'an noticed the commotion here and came over immediately.

He really disliked the second wife of the Qiao family: "Qiao Jinghua, is this how you educate your wife and daughter?"

Qiao Jinghua was publicly rebuked by Hong An, and his face flushed: "Master Hong An, I..."

"I went to your house and saw your daughter's work, and I said I'd consider it. I thought you understood what I meant." Master Hong'an said in a cold voice, "I won't accept anyone who's not good enough!"

These words made Qiao Jinghua wish he could find a hole to crawl into.

It turns out that Master Hong'an declined politely!

At this moment, everyone understood, "Oh, so Master Hong An refused from the beginning!"

"Alas, Master Hong An is just too tactful!"

Master Hong An: "I went to see your daughter's work because of your elder brother. I didn't expect you to think this about your elder brother behind his back. You really disappoint me! You are not welcome at my apprenticeship banquet now!"

They actually want to kick them out!

The expressions of Qiao Jinghua and his family changed.

Qiao Jinghua hurried forward and said to Qiao Yanfei, "Brother, I'm sorry. I absolutely didn't think that. My wife and Yashu were just confused for a moment and couldn't accept it. I hope you won't blame them."

Qiao Yanfei looked at his only brother and said calmly, "After father left, I thought I was pretty good to you. I would finish off your unsold works every year. I didn't expect that you have always thought of me like this."

Qiao Jinghua's brain exploded.

Almost all of his works in recent years have sold well. Even if they cannot be sold, they will be bought at a high price at the end of the year.

That's why he can afford a house in Beijing.

But he didn't expect that the person who helped him behind the scenes was his elder brother!

Qiao Jinghua was suddenly filled with shame and grief. He couldn't look Qiao Yanfei in the eye: "Brother, I..."

"You guys go back!" said Qiao Yanfei.

Qiao Jinghua was so ashamed that he could no longer stay and left with his wife and daughter.

After they left, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly relaxed a lot and everyone started to eat.

Mo Yanchu sat next to Qiao Qingci and looked at the little girl: "Baby, how many secrets do you have?"

Qiao Qingci grinned: "Not much."

Qiao Qingci looked at Mo Yanchu and said, "I don't think I have as many secrets as you do."

Mo Yanchu's dark eyes were slightly surprised. Qiao Qingci actually knew...

But soon when he saw Qiao Qingci's cunning eyes, Mo Yanchu immediately realized that he had been fooled. This little guy was very good at using psychology!

After the meal, the guests dispersed.

Qiao Yanfei invited Hong'an to his home, and Hong'an agreed.

They were pouring tea and chatting at home, looking very happy.

The atmosphere on the other side was extremely gloomy.

On the way back, Qiao Jinghua was crying almost the whole time.

Qiao Jinghua was annoyed when he heard this: "That's enough, stop crying."

Mrs. Qiao felt sorry for Qiao Yashu: "The child is already feeling bad. Is there any father like you? Why are you talking to the child?"

"She should know she's not the most powerful," Qiao Jinghua scolded, "otherwise, today's incident wouldn't have happened."

Mrs. Qiao's eyes widened. "Qiao Jinghua, do you have any intention? It's obviously your eldest brother's family who are deliberately concealing this. They just want to make us look bad. Can't you see that?"

"Brother is not that kind of person!" Qiao Jinghua said.

"If you weren't that kind of person, this wouldn't have happened today. You wouldn't have changed your mind about Qiao Yanfei just because he bought a few of your paintings, would you?" Mrs. Qiao taunted, "It's because you're so soft-hearted that you've never been able to compare to your eldest brother!"
