On the other side, the Gu family.
Ever since Jiang Ranran beat Gu Sinan, she has refused to eat or drink since returning home.
No matter how many people tried to persuade her, it was useless. Jiang Ranran's listless appearance was worrying.
In desperation, Qiao Jiabao and Xiao Yu discussed and went out to persuade Jiang Ranran to eat.
At the door of the room, Qiao Jiabao gently pushed Xiaoyu, signaling her not to be nervous. Xiaoyu nodded confidently, and then the two of them knocked on Jiang Ranran's door.
"Come in." Jiang Ranran's weak voice came.
Xiaoyu pushed the door open carefully and stood at the door with the food in her hand. Qiao Jiabao stood at the door waiting for her. In case Xiaoyu failed, Qiao Jiabao could take over at any time.
"Mom, can I come in?" Xiaoyu asked cautiously.
Jiang Ranran was sitting alone by the window at this time. When she heard Xiao Yu's words, she nodded at her.
Xiao Yu walked into the room and only after seeing Jiang Ranran's face did she notice how pale she was.
"Mom, you haven't eaten for several days. Xiaoyu is really worried about you." Xiaoyu pouted, looking aggrieved. In the past, Jiang Ranran was the one who fell for her tricks the most.
No matter what Xiao Yu asked for, as long as she put on a crying face, Jiang Ranran would immediately give in.
Xiao Yu thought that this trick would definitely work this time, so he used it on Jiang Ranran as soon as he entered the door.
"Xiao Yu, be good. Mommy doesn't want to eat. Mommy can't eat." Jiang Ranran sighed and rejected Xiao Yu's request for the first time.
Xiao Yu was slightly startled, and her watery eyes were immediately soaked with tears.
"Mom, although brother Sinan is not at home, brother Sixi, sister Sibei, and brother Jiabao will all love you." Seeing Jiang Ranran's haggard appearance, Xiao Yu felt like her heart was bleeding. How could brother Sinan hurt his mother like this?
For a moment, Xiao Yu actually hated Gu Sinan.
Of course Jiang Ranran knew this, but Gu Sinan was also her beloved.
"Mom, please just have a bite, even just one bite." Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Ranran with a sad face and a pleading expression.
Jiang Ranran really wanted to agree to Xiao Yu, but her chest felt like it was blocked by a huge rock. She couldn't even drink a sip of water, let alone eat.
Jiang Ranran sighed weakly and shook her head helplessly, "Xiao Yu, Mommy really can't eat anymore, you take it away."
Xiao Yu really wanted to continue persuading Jiang Ranran, but Jiang Ranran had already turned his head away, not giving Xiao Yu any chance at all. Xiao Yu had no choice but to walk out with a pout.
As soon as Xiao Yu saw Qiao Jiabao, tears immediately fell.
"Brother Jiabao..." Xiaoyu muttered while crying.
As soon as Qiao Jiabao saw Xiaoyu's aggrieved look, he immediately knew that Xiaoyu had failed.
Gently holding Xiaoyu in his arms, Qiao Jiabao gently touched Xiaoyu's head and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm still here, right?"
"Brother Jiabao, you must succeed." Xiao Yu now places all her hopes on Qiao Jiabao.
Qiao Jiabao nodded confidently, "Don't worry, leave it to me, there will be no problem."
In fact, Qiao Jiabao was just comforting Xiaoyu. He had no idea what was going on, but he didn't want to make Xiaoyu worry, so he had to say that.
Qiao Jiabao took the food from Xiaoyu's hands and knocked on Jiang Ranran's door.
Before Qiao Jiabao even entered the door, Jiang Ranran's refusal came from inside: "I really don't want to eat, please leave."
Qiao Jiabao was startled when he heard this, then he suddenly had an idea and made up a lie, "Mom, I'm not here to deliver food. I'm here for something else."
Qiao Jiabao plans to use Qiao Zhen’s affairs as a cover.
Jiang Ranran hesitated for a moment, but finally let Qiao Jiabao in.
In order to avoid being exposed, Qiao Jiabao handed the food to Xiaoyu and walked in.
Just when Xiao Yu was about to ask Qiao Jiabao, Qiao Jiabao made a silencing gesture at Xiao Yu. He knew what Xiao Yu was going to ask. He had clearly come to persuade Jiang Ranran to have dinner, but in the end he didn't bring the food in. Xiao Yu must have felt strange about this.
Qiao Jiabao knew that if he wanted Jiang Ranran to eat now, he had to open up his heart, otherwise no amount of persuasion would be of any use.
Seeing that Qiao Jiabao didn't allow her to speak, Xiao Yu shut up and watched Qiao Jiabao walk in.
As soon as he saw Jiang Ranran's haggard face, Qiao Jiabao's heart suddenly tightened and he felt distressed.
"Mom, you look much more haggard." Qiao Jiabao's voice trembled a little.
Jiang Ranran smiled bitterly upon hearing this. "What did you just say? Is Qiao Zhen looking for trouble with you again?"
Although Jiang Ranran is in a very bad condition now, she has to take care of the children's affairs.
Qiao Jiabao nodded as if lying. In fact, Qiao Zhen had never come to see him since the last time, but in order to let Jiang Ranran eat, he had to let Qiao Zhen take the blame.
Jiang Ranran frowned upon hearing this. "This Qiao Zhen is really haunting you. You and he have nothing to do with each other anymore, yet he's still pestering you. Jiabao, remember, don't be soft-hearted. He doesn't miss you, he wants this villa."
Jiang Ranran seemed to come to life instantly, chattering away instructing Qiao Jiabao.
Qiao Jiabao nodded in surprise when he saw this, but he knew in his heart that he couldn't let Jiang Ranran be too relieved, otherwise, Jiang Ranran would still not eat.
"I know the reason, Mom, but this person just keeps pestering me, and I'm really powerless to deal with it. I know you've been in a bad mood lately, but I really have no other choice." Seeing that his method worked, Qiao Jiabao suddenly felt motivated to even make up a lie.
Jiang Ranran frowned and gradually fell into Qiao Jiabao's trap.
"I will contact Qiao Zhen personally, so don't worry about this matter." Jiang Ranran comforted Qiao Jiabao.
Qiao Jiabao nodded solemnly, his dark eyes flashing with dazzling brilliance.
"Mom, you should eat something, otherwise how are you going to confront Qiao Zhen later?" Qiao Jiabao suggested cautiously, fearing that Jiang Ranran would see through his words as soon as they came out of his mouth.
Jiang Ranran hesitated for a moment. After being reminded by Qiao Jiabao, she also felt a little hungry.
"Well, okay, I'm hungry too." Jiang Ranran finally nodded.
Qiao Jiabao's face immediately lit up with joy. He turned around and ran outside, found Xiao Yu, took the food from her hands, and hurriedly brought it into the room.
Xiao Yu didn't even have the time to talk to Qiao Jiabao. Just seeing his excited eyes, she understood everything.
She hurried to the door, opened it a crack and looked inside, and saw Qiao Jiabao handing the food to Jiang Ranran. Jiang Ranran smiled slightly and started eating.
