Qiao Lian'er was curious to see what kind of nonsense Song Rui'er could come up with.
She lazily got up from the wicker chair, walked out, and waved for Da Shun to come over.
After all, she was the only one in the courtyard.
Da Shun stared at Song Ruier without moving, his eyes emitting a faint green light, his tail swaying slowly.
"Speak."
Song Ruier was furious and immediately questioned, "How could you have ruined Father like this?"
"Oh, what does that have to do with me?"
"Don't think I don't know. The day Qiao was taken away, I saw you riding a horse towards the camp, but you took a different route."
"I thought you were going to General Guan to plead for Qiao's life, but I never expected you to be there to file a complaint."
"Father worked hard for ten years to finally become a captain, and you just ruined it like this."
Qiao Lian'er crossed her arms, looking puzzled: "Song Rui'er, are you out of your mind? Haven't you experienced how Song Laosan treats you? Yet you keep saying you're protecting him and pitying his situation."
“No matter what, he’s still our father.” Song Ruier’s eyes were filled with resentment.
“Father holds a high position. Even if he doesn’t want to acknowledge us now, he will still make us come to him to be filial and give us benefits if we do well in the future.”
“But you are short-sighted. Because you are angry for a moment, you are going to ruin your father’s future.”
"Your father is living a life worse than death, neither human nor ghost. Are you satisfied now?"
"Of course I'm satisfied, I even think it's not bad enough," Qiao Lian'er said casually.
“I’m not like you, trying to curry favor with someone who doesn’t reciprocate your feelings. You think you can acknowledge them as your father now and do it later? Do you think they’ll give you that kind of face? No matter how hard you try, Song Laosan is afraid of his deeds being exposed and losing his bright future. You’re still dreaming.”
“Foolish.” Song Ruier uttered two words.
Snap!
Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Lian'er slapped her across the face.
The little brat is lecturing her from his superior position. He comes to her looking for a beating, so she'll grant his wish.
Song Ruier covered her burning face and tried to fight back in anger, but Da Shun rushed over and bit her ankle.
"Ouch!" A sharp, bone-deep pain shot through Song Ruier, who screamed in agony. She forcefully kicked Da Shun away and crouched down, clutching her bleeding ankle.
"Qiao Lian'er, I told you you're stupid. Your father is no ordinary person to have reached this position. He is General Guan's son-in-law, and now he is still subject to General Guan and has no choice of his own. After General Guan passes away, he will abandon Miss Guan. Will he not recognize us then?"
So that's what Song Ruier was planning, which is why she was so patient before.
Qiao Lian'er admired the power of genes; in this respect, the father and son were indeed of the same ilk and had come to the same conclusion.
"Perhaps," she said, a disdainful smirk playing on her lips. "But Song Ruier, listen to me, I don't care."
“I’m not like you, always thinking about being protected by Song Laosan and getting his approval.”
"No matter how high a position such a heartless person holds, he is not worth following."
"That's probably the difference between being a human and being a dog."
"Get lost, or Da Shun will bite you again."
Song Ruier left through gritted teeth.
As he walked, he began to realize something: Song Laosan was no longer capable, but the Qiao family was becoming increasingly wealthy. The three Qiao brothers had also gained some military power, and they were highly valued by General Chu and praised by General Guan.
The Qiao family has a bright future—
