Qing Ci had been the Duan family's daughter for over twenty years when she was suddenly told she wasn't their blood relative. Maliciously framed by the real heiress and expelled by her adop...
Chapter 805 Some are happy, some are worried
"Miss Qiao, I'm going to open it. Are you ready?" Andy put his hand on the opening of the big cardboard box, blinking his big eyes, and his tone was extremely intriguing.
Qiao Qingci couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and replied, "I'm ready, Andy."
Andy was very excited. She clasped the cardboard box with both hands and flipped it inside out. The carefully prepared gift finally revealed its true appearance.
After seeing the gift lying in the big cardboard box, the smile on Qiao Qingci's face froze. She stared at the gift and didn't speak for a long time.
Andy's eyes, which were originally filled with anticipation, gradually lost their brightness and were replaced by uneasiness when she discovered that Qiao Qingci did not seem as happy as she had imagined.
What happened? Did she mess up?
Andy opened her mouth, not knowing what to do. She had clearly heard the eldest lady and her father say that Dr. Q wanted the jade branch in the forbidden area of their manor, so he treated the head of the family.
She now dug out the jade branch and gave it to Miss Qiao. It was not damaged at all. She was afraid that the jade branch would die, so she even piled up soil on its roots. Why was Miss Qiao unhappy?
Andy glanced at Qiao Qingci tentatively again and asked uneasily: "Ms. Qiao, don't you like this gift? I'm sorry, I thought you would like it, I——"
Andy's next words were interrupted by Qiao Qingci's gentle hug.
She opened her eyes wide in surprise, feeling a little overwhelmed. In her memory, hugging was a friendly way for people to greet someone they liked, and no one had ever hugged her before.
Miss Qiao hugged her after seeing the gift. Does this mean that she doesn’t hate the gift?
"Ms. Qiao?" Andy lowered her voice and savored the wonderful feeling of being hugged.
Qiao Qingci's emotions had calmed down a lot. She let go of Andy, but she was still touched.
"Andi, thank you, I really needed this gift."
The gift that Andy gave to Qiao Qingci was beyond her expectations. It was the jade branch that she had been looking for for many years, the obsession that her master could not let go of before his death. Today, Andy brought it to her.
Hearing Qiao Qingci's approval of the gift, Andy's face was filled with a shy smile.
"As long as you like it, Miss Qiao."
Qiao Qingci looked at the jade branch again with cherishment. It had a strange appearance, no flowers or leaves, only twisted branches, a frosted silvery white.
There are records and plantings of it in Master's pharmacopoeia. At this moment, the feeling it gives Qiao Qingci is the same as that of Andy.
It may not seem like anything at first glance, but inside the simple branches is a nectar-like liquid that is warm in nature and warms the heart.
Qiao Qingci and the other three had a very pleasant meal.
After saying goodbye, Qiao Qingci carefully placed the large cardboard box into the trunk of the car.
When Mo Yanchu saw how much importance she attached to it, he knew in his heart that she really liked this gift.
After he helped Qiao Qingci close the trunk door, he put his arm around her slender waist and brought her closer. When their bodies were close together, Qiao Qingci heard Mo Yanchu's deep voice as if promising, "I can also give you a lot of gifts, baby."
Qiao Qingci looked at Mo Yanchu from afar and said in a light tone, "Then brother, do you want to know what gift Andy gave me?"
Mo Yanchu's eyes deepened and he asked, "What is it?"
Qiao Qingci raised his arms, placed them on his shoulders, leaned close to his ear, and said those three words.
Mo Yanchu raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously surprised. It must be said that although Andy looked heartless, the gift he gave was very thoughtful.
In the country, some people were happy while others were worried, and Lina was extremely anxious.
Yu Qiongzhi was poached by someone, and she didn't even have the confidence to meet Qiao Qingci, let alone find out that Qiao Qingci had left the hotel where he was staying and was suspected of leaving Country M.
Lina wanted to check the surveillance footage of the manor to see if Qiao Qingci had sent someone to poach Yu Qiongzhi, but she was unexpectedly turned away by the servant who was in charge of the manor's surveillance.
Lina was able to withstand all kinds of pressure within two days, but this little servant went against her wishes, causing her emotions to get out of control.
Lina raised her hand to hit the servant, but the servant dodged her.
The servant said, "My lady, it's not that I don't allow you to see it, but Mr. Orledo has instructed that no one else has the right to see it without his permission."
Lina sneered, "Who is Oledo? The owner of this manor is my father. Do you listen to him or me?"
The servant had long been fed up with Lina's character, and straightened his back and said:
"Miss, perhaps this manor was previously under the control of your father and you, but now the person in charge of the Lina Group is Mr. Oledo. From today on, this manor and the servants in the manor will be under the priority of Mr. Oledo. Please don't make things difficult for us."
