"Have you thought it through?" Mr. Qiao's voice was indifferent. "You're no longer chasing after that Shen family brat?"
"I will continue to pursue it, but I will take responsibility for it."
A warm glint appeared in Qiao Huaxi's eyes when Shen Nanchuan was mentioned.
Mr. Qiao: "..."
“Dad, the relationship between Brother Nanchuan and Shen Nanxing is not what you think. They are very close brothers.”
Qiao Huaxi took a few steps forward, pulled over a chair, and sat down opposite her father.
"Even if there's something I can't handle, the Shen family will lend a hand out of respect for Brother Nanchuan."
"Are you sure?" Mr. Qiao raised an eyebrow.
If that's the case, then the heir of the Qiao family can be decided.
Thinking of this, Qiao's father turned and glanced at Qiao Xingyang, whose expression was not very good.
Both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh, but whoever brings more benefit is the palm with more flesh.
Moreover, unlike the Lin family, the Qiao family did not have the concept that women could not be in charge of the household.
“I’m sure. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Shen Nanxing yourself.”
Qiao Huaxi looked resolute and extremely confident.
"No need for that. You're my daughter, I trust you."
Mr. Qiao stood up, walked around from behind the desk to Qiao Huaxi, and patted her on the shoulder. "Dad will go find your grandfather now."
He's getting old, and it's time for him to step down.
"Phew~ After working so hard for so many years, I can finally take a break and relax!"
Mr. Qiao laughed loudly and walked out the door with his hands behind his back.
"dad!"
Qiao Huaxi turned around and called out to him, "You can't completely unload your burden; I still need your help!"
"Tsk, what a spineless brat!"
Mr. Qiao waved his hand, chuckled and scolded, and walked away with even lighter steps.
"Little brother!"
Once Qiao's father's figure was no longer visible, Qiao Huaxi walked up to Qiao Xingyang and gently tapped the table.
Qiao Xingyang's face darkened, and he didn't want to speak.
He always thought he and Qiao Huaxi were competing fairly, or even had a slight advantage, because his mother supported him.
The father and grandfather remained in a wait-and-see mode.
Unexpectedly, her father's heart turned away the moment she opened her mouth.
"You know about the Bi family's affairs, right?"
Qiao Huaxi didn't care about his attitude; she only hoped for harmony within the Qiao family.
"Hmm." Qiao Xingyang nodded reluctantly, his face still dark.
"I can step down once the Bi family is dealt with."
Qiao Xingyang was stunned. "What do you mean?"
“My original intention was not to become the head of the Qiao family. I just wanted to marry Brother Nanchuan and become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family.”
Thinking of Shen Nanchuan, Qiao Huaxi's eyes crinkled into a smile.
"So you are now too?" Qiao Xingyang felt that he couldn't understand Qiao Huaxi anymore.
"Brother Nanchuan, trust me. Only by having me direct the Qiao family before things are over can we achieve the most perfect cooperation with the Shen family."
"You...you really are..."
Qiao Xingyang was speechless for a moment.
While some might call her love-struck, she's actually quite clear-headed and has never done anything to harm the Qiao family's interests.
You could say she's not love-struck, but her mind is completely occupied by her brother Nanchuan; she'd even give up her position as head of the family.
"I see,"
Qiao Xingyang licked his slightly dry lips and nodded. "From now on, I will cooperate with all your orders."
Despite the disputes, he would not do anything to harm the interests of the Qiao family.
"Thank you, little brother!"
Qiao Huaxi looked at Qiao Xingyang and gave him a genuine smile.
"You're welcome,"
Qiao Xingyang suddenly felt a little awkward. "And as for Mom, I'll talk to her about it."
"Okay, thanks!"
Qiao Huaxi reached out and ruffled Qiao Xingyang's hair, then smiled and left.
