Chapter 3: Returning to One's Ancestors
"It seems the news of Miss Qiao's coming here has leaked out. Sister also wants to become her disciple, right?" Duan Mianmian said softly with a kind face, "Miss Qiao probably doesn't know that Sister was kicked out yet. From now on, Sister and I will both be her students!"
Mrs. Duan's expression couldn't be uglier.
She strode forward, trying to block Duan Qingci's way, but Duan Qingci walked towards the Jade Pavilion not far away.
Mrs. Duan was puzzled. Why were they going to the Jade Pavilion? That was the most high-end box in Four Seasons!
"Sister, why did you go to that private room?" Duan Mianmian was also surprised. "That's not a place that ordinary people can enter. It seems that sister is really amazing. The friends around her are all so outstanding."
"She has a shitty friend!" Mrs. Duan cursed. Could it be that this damn Duan Qingci couldn't stand the disparity in poverty and hooked up with some rich man?
That would be such a disgrace to the Duan family!
Mrs. Duan felt sick, but she had no time to care about her and hurriedly called Miss Qiao.
"Sorry, I have something urgent to do." The other party replied coldly and then hung up.
Duan Mianmian's heart sank to the bottom, and she couldn't help but cover her face and cry in pain.
Mr. Duan could only comfort her and tell her there would be another chance next time.
Miss Qiao hung up the phone and sat upright on the sofa.
The eldest brother called everyone together temporarily because he had just found his lost daughter.
"My sister has been living away from home for many years and must have suffered a lot."
The girl sitting next to her spoke. She had beautiful features, delicate makeup, and was wearing an elegant long dress. She had the air of a lady from a wealthy family, but her eyes were filled with sorrow.
Qiao Wenyan's heart warmed. "I heard that her adoptive parents treated her well, so she shouldn't suffer."
Qiao Wenya nodded and said obediently and sincerely: "We must be good to our sister."
Qiao Wenyan caressed her hair lovingly, with admiration in her eyes.
She is indeed her apprentice. Although Wen Ya is an adopted daughter, she is broad-minded, kind and innocent, and she is not worried at all that her returning sister will take away her position.
Mrs. Qiao, who was wearing a cheongsam, did not react at all, her eyes fixed on the door, looking anxiously.
This expression made Qiao Wenya feel strange.
Finally, the door opened—
The driver walked in.
The girl walked over. As a daughter raised in a remote village, she should be pale and thin, but her skin seemed to be coated with light, shining white. Her cold, delicate face looked about 50% like Mrs. Qiao.
Qiao Wenya felt a little disappointed.
"My daughter!"
Mrs. Qiao couldn't hold it in any longer, so she went forward and hugged him tightly, crying uncontrollably.
Duan Qingci paused slightly. Her excessive enthusiasm made her a little overwhelmed, and he could only pat her gently with his hand.
But the family affection in her bones made her feel warm.
Is this family?
"Let Qingci sit down first." Qiao Yanfei said gently.
Mrs. Qiao sat down next to Duan Qingci, holding back her tears, but her voice was still choked: "Qingci, I'm sorry that Mom only found you now. You must have suffered a lot outside."
"I'm... fine." Warm tears fell on the back of Duan Qingci's hand. Duan Qingci was a little overwhelmed. She had always been a soft-hearted person and never expected someone to cry like this because of her. "Don't cry, Mom, I'm back."
The word "Mom" made Mrs. Qiao very happy. "Yes, you are back now. Mom will definitely make it up to you in the future!"
Qiao Yanfei looked at Duan Qingci eagerly, and Duan Qingci could only speak: "...Dad."
"Well! My Qingci is so well behaved." Qiao Yanfei was rarely happy and introduced with a smile: "Come, let me introduce you to our family members. This is your aunt."
Qiao Wenyan looked at her and nodded slightly, and Duan Qingci greeted her.
Next, it’s Qiao Wenya.
Qiao Wenya said gently, "Sister, I've been looking forward to seeing you for a long time. From now on, I can finally show off to others that I have a sister!"
Mrs. Qiao spoke with some embarrassment: "This is Wen Ya. Wen Ya's father is your father's friend. Her parents died when she was very young, so we adopted her. If you mind..."
"It's okay." Duan Qingci understood what she meant and said lightly.
"You have three brothers, but they are not at home. I will introduce them to you slowly later!" Mrs. Qiao said with a smile, and saw Duan Qingci nod, feeling warm in her heart.
Duan Qingci nodded.
Qiao Yanfei took out his phone and said, "Qingci, thank you for your hard work over the years. Add dad on WeChat."
Mrs. Qiao also quickly took out her cell phone, "And mine."
Duan Qingci had no choice but to add them one by one, and as he added them, two pieces of news rang out at the same time:
[Dad] I will transfer 10,000,000 yuan to you.
[Mom] I will transfer 10,000,000 yuan to you.
"Dad will give you some pocket money. If it's not enough, ask me for more." Qiao Yanfei smiled.
"Yes, Mom also bought you some clothes. When we get back, you can try them on slowly!"
Duan Qingci was not used to such enthusiasm, but he felt warm in his heart.
Not only her, Qiao Wenya was also very uncomfortable and even shocked that her parents spent 20 million yuan at once. You know, her monthly pocket money was only a few hundred thousand!
Is this the difference between biological and non-biological children?
