At the same time, the rest of the Qiao family also looked at Lu Zhengjun.
He was already sensitive to eye contact, and since the Qiao family members made no attempt to hide it, their resistance was quite obvious.
Lu Zhengjun: "..."
What's going on?
Logically speaking, this should be the first time he has met the Qiao family—aside from Liu Yuying and Qiao Xinruo, they have had almost no contact with him. Why do they all seem to dislike him?
What exactly did he do wrong?
Lu Zhengjun was puzzled.
Su Yueya also noticed it.
She looked at her husband, then at her family.
"Honey, why don't you go home first? I'll go home by myself tonight." Su Yueya pressed Lu Zhengjun's arm and gently pinched it twice.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Su Yueya shook her head at him.
Lu Zhengjun: "..."
He may not necessarily follow Qiao Hanxue's arrangements, but he will definitely give Su Yueya face.
“Okay, then I’ll go back first.” Lu Zhengjun took all of Su Yueya’s gifts. “These things are heavy, I’ll take them home first.”
"Okay, take it easy and be careful on the road." Su Yueya handed all the gifts to Lu Zhengjun without hesitation.
The Qiao family also lived in the family compound, and they owned two houses.
One set was assigned to Liu Yuying as the division commander, and the other set was assigned to Qiao Shouyan as the deputy regimental commander.
Coincidentally, the two houses were right next to each other.
Currently, Qiao Xinruo and her parents live in one of the apartments, while Su Yueya has a room in the same apartment. Qiao Shouyan and Qiao Gaoyang live in the other apartment.
Normally, the two sides would get together for meals.
But most of the time everyone takes care of their own things, since everyone in the family is very busy and rarely seen, so it's difficult to get everyone together, let alone sit down for a proper meal.
The reason we're all here today is entirely because of Su Yueya's influence!
Upon arriving at the entrance of the family compound, Lu Zhengjun walked alone on the other side.
Su Yueya followed them back.
She went straight to Su Yueya's room, and as soon as she opened the bedroom door, she saw the bed piled high with gift boxes.
She is 21 years old, and her bed is covered with 21 gift boxes.
From the gold and silver locks she had when she was a baby, to the peace charms that Liu Yuying specially prayed for after Su Yueya disappeared, to the beautiful dresses and jewelry she bought when she grew up, and the books her father bought with high hopes for her...
There were 21 birthday gifts in total, but there were more than 21.
Liu Yuying and Qiao Hanxue both prepared gifts. Qiao Shouyan and Qiao Gaoyang knew about it earlier and prepared some gifts when they grew up. Even Qiao Xinruo bought a lot for Su Yueya after she found out.
Looking at all these heartfelt gestures, Su Yueya's heart was gradually filled.
The blank spaces and distances created by time have been gradually filled with these heartfelt sentiments.
The past cannot be retrieved, but at least the future is still in Su Yueya's hands.
"Thank you." Looking at the huge bed of gifts, Su Yueya didn't know what to say.
The mistakes made by human traffickers not only deprived Su Yueya of the opportunity to spend time with her family from a young age, but also deprived her of her original good growth environment.
Similarly, aren't the relatives who lost Su Yueya also trapped in that day and unable to move on?
"Silly child, do you need to say thank you to your parents?" Liu Yuying said, holding Su Yueya's hand with tears in her eyes.
She was a soldier of unwavering integrity; she would rather bleed than shed tears.
It was because of her own daughter's situation that she repeatedly wanted to shed tears today. She is a soldier, but more importantly, she is a mother.
"That's right, we're family, let's not talk like that!" Qiao Hanxue hugged his wife and daughter and changed the subject, "Yueya, go open your gifts and see if you like them. If you don't like them, your parents will make you another one!"
"I like it!" Su Yueya quickly replied.
There's no need to disassemble it at all.
These are all expressions of love from her parents and relatives. With just this sentiment, no matter what they are, they are all treasures to Su Yueya.
"You silly child!" Liu Yuying looked at Su Yueya.
The more I look at it, the more heartbroken I feel, and the more I like it!
"Oh, let's not talk about that anymore, sister, I'll help you open your presents!" Qiao Xinruo said.
She was similar in personality to her older brother; she could be aloof in front of outsiders, but only when she was with her long-lost older sister could she show such a girlish side.
elder sister?
Su Yueya was puzzled.
Ever since they recognized each other, Liu Yuying has always said that they are twin sisters, so Su Yueya naturally assumed that she was the younger sister and Qiao Xinruo was the older sister.
Judging from their personalities, Qiao Xinruo is clearly more like the mature "older sister" who can stand on her own.
"So I'm the older sister after all?" Su Yueya whispered.
Qiao Xin smiled and said indulgently, "It's okay. If you want to be the younger sister, then you can be the younger sister. Anyway, we're only a few minutes apart."
Twins, well, they just happen to be one after the other.
Qiao Xinruo felt it was a great deal to have a cute and sweet younger sister like Su Yueya!
“That won’t do. Since I was born first, I must be the older sister,” Su Yueya said seriously.
"Silly girl, Xinruo is just joking with you!" Liu Yuying was amused by her two daughters.
"Quick, quick, open the presents!"
"good."
Su Yueya sat down on the edge of the bed and noticed that the gifts were in a specific order, and each gift box was marked with a date.
It turns out I've been getting my birthday wrong all along...
If she hadn't found her family, she wouldn't even know the day she was born.
Su Yueya's current birthday is the day she was adopted by the Su family, a date decided by her adoptive mother.
Upon opening the first box, you'll find a delicate little silver lock, the kind of safety lock that families put on a newborn baby.
“You wore this safety lock when you were just born!” Liu Yuying said with great emotion.
When she lost it, Su Yueya wasn't wearing this safety lock.
Later, Liu Yuying and Qiao Hanxue used this small lock as a birth gift and put it in a box.
Su Yueya stroked the patterns on the silver lock. The lock was cold when she first took it out, but she could almost feel its warmth, the love her parents had for her and their hopes for her to live a peaceful life.
“Sister, I have one of these little locks too, ours are exactly the same!” Qiao Xinruo said.
She wanted to tell Su Yueya in this way.
My parents never showed favoritism; they gave both sisters the same things.
It's all the fault of those damned human traffickers!
"Could it be that all these gifts are the same as your birthday gifts every year?" Su Yueya asked curiously.
Qiao Xinruo was also unsure. She turned to her parents and asked, "Mom and Dad, you wouldn't really just brush me and my sister off like this, would you?"
She dragged herself into the conversation with her words, fearing that Su Yueya might feel even a little uncomfortable, since Su Yueya had just returned home.
