After the meal, Jiang Jiahua took Xia Yuntao to the food factory, and Qin Haiyang followed.

Jiang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao were originally planning to go home.

Jiang Yong'an stepped forward with a smug grin, "Qiaoqiao, I misunderstood you before and treated you badly. I apologize."

A hint of wariness flashed subtly in Jiang Qiaoqiao's eyes.

Jiang Yong'an continued, "Actually, since you came back, we siblings haven't had a proper meal together. It's rare for Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law to come back this time, so let's take this opportunity to have a good get-together tonight. Otherwise, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law will be going back to their unit tomorrow, and we don't know when we'll have another chance like this."

“I think your third brother’s suggestion is not bad. But if you’re not willing, Qiaoqiao, you don’t have to force yourself,” Jiang Yongchang said.

He just felt that they were, after all, siblings, and blood was thicker than water. It wasn't a good idea for Qiaoqiao and Lao San to keep at this stalemate.

Jiang Qiaoqiao glanced at Jiang Yiran hiding behind the kitchen door, and smiled slightly, agreeing, "Okay! It's fine for us siblings to get together, but I don't want to get together with Jiang Yiran."

Her words were so direct that Jiang Yongchang frowned slightly.

She had always thought that Jiang Qiaoqiao was sensible, while Jiang Yiran was spoiled.

Hearing Jiang Qiaoqiao's request now, he felt that it takes two to tango. Their once well-behaved and adorable little sister had become like this after Jiang Qiaoqiao came back, and it was probably not just Ranran's fault.

Jiang Yong'an readily replied, "Okay, then we won't bring Ranran."

Before Jiang Yongchang could say anything, Jiang Yong'an spoke up faster than Jiang Qiaoqiao, advising him, "Ranran isn't our biological child. Besides, before Qiaoqiao came back, both Mom and Dad, as well as us older brothers, only doted on her. Now that Qiaoqiao has finally come home, we should give her more attention."

A chill ran through Jiang Qiaoqiao's heart.

If she had only suspected Jiang Yong'an of having ulterior motives towards her before, now she was certain.
