He couldn't afford to have any major emotional fluctuations, since Su Luo wasn't home right now. If he got into an argument and his emotions got the better of him, his sister would have no choice but to take him to the hospital, where he'd be subjected to a whole host of tests...
"Alright, no matter what Su Luo is like, our family has indeed gotten a bit too arrogant these past few years. Everyone needs to change those bad habits. When guests come to our house, we need to show proper etiquette and not embarrass us."
After seeing his family members speak, Mr. Qiao's father had essentially finalized the matter.
"Don't worry, Dad, we know."
Qiao Yan spoke calmly.
Chu Qianqian nodded in agreement.
Xing Xiaomeng pursed her lips and nodded. Qiao Jing was her mother-in-law's own daughter, yet she was being talked about like that. No matter how dissatisfied she was, she could only keep it to herself.
If she has any objections, wouldn't that mean she can't stand seeing her husband get cured?
Qiao Jing was still angry. She stood up and said calmly, "Mom and Dad, eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, I'm done eating. You can continue eating."
Qiao Jing left after she finished speaking.
She felt the controversy was pointless, but she wouldn't give up; she would personally investigate and find evidence to prove that Su Luo was a fraud.
She was jealous that Su Luo had become Dai Ping'an's disciple, but she also cared about her own brother.
After Qiao Jing left, Wen Fanghui couldn't eat anymore. She stood up and said calmly, "I'm done eating. You can continue eating."
Who could possibly eat this?
Mr. Qiao got up and followed.
"Second brother, you can eat slowly. We've finished eating too."
Qiao Yan and Chu Qianqian also left.
Xing Xiaomeng didn't want to eat anymore. She looked at Qiao Lei and asked, "Honey, is this Su Luo really that amazing?"
Qiao Lei looked at Xing Xiaomeng and nodded: "She's not an ordinary TCM doctor. You'll see later. I see you haven't eaten much. Eat some more."
Qiao Lei patiently explained to his wife, hoping that Xing Xiaomeng could trust him more.
"I can't eat anymore."
Xing Xiaomeng shook her head. She didn't say anything to upset Qiao Lei, but the thought of that million yuan made it impossible for her to eat.
The Qiao family is very wealthy, but money doesn't grow on trees.
Qiao Lei didn't try to persuade him any further, and he ate slowly.
Because of tonight's unpleasantness, the Qiao family was all together over the weekend.
The medicinal herbs have all been delivered, and Wen Fanghui and the driver personally went to pick up Su Luo.
Wen Fanghui smiled brightly: "Su Luo, do you think there's anything we're missing?"
Apart from Wen Fanghui and Qiao Lei, the Qiao family members all smiled politely.
Su Luo looked at the medicinal herbs and shook her head: "Nothing is missing."
She put the medicinal herbs she wanted on the other side, intending to take them with her later.
She calmly processed the medicinal herbs.
Qiao Jing held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Aren't you going to add the blood spirit mushroom and ginseng?"
Su Luo didn't even look up: "These two items aren't medicine for Mr. Qiao's treatment; they're one of the rewards I'm asking for."
Qiao Jing gritted her teeth. Before she could voice her doubts, Wen Fanghui pulled her to the back.
Wen Fanghui's eyes sharpened: "If there's nothing else, you can go back."
If you can't stand it, then don't come and watch it, lest you do something wrong.
Qiao Jing was furious: "Mom, these two medicinal herbs alone are worth a fortune!"
That wasn't enough. Su Luo was too greedy; she even dared to ask for a million.
What makes Su Luo so special? Dai Ping'an is just a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. So what if Su Luo was taught by him?
"Smack—"
Wen Fanghui slapped Qiao Jing across the face, glaring angrily at her: "Get out of here!"
No matter how much you say, your daughter won't let go of her jealousy, and keeping her here will only cause trouble.
Wen Fanghui swiftly told her to get lost.
Qiao Lei watched this scene without saying a word, only feeling a sense of relief. His younger sister was being so persistent, which annoyed him. Did she have to make such a scene in front of Su Luo? Couldn't they have talked about it privately, or waited a month or two?
Xing Xiaomeng gasped in shock at the sight.
Qiao Jing was even angrier after being slapped. Su Luo didn't even raise her head, but how could she not hear the noise? She was definitely chuckling to herself.
Qiao Jing gritted her teeth, turned around, and ran away.
Wen Fanghui breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that they were gone.
"I'll go check on my little sister."
Xing Xiaomeng thought for a moment and then said, "It's quite upsetting to see her here. After all, Qiao Jing is a daughter of the Qiao family, and as her sister-in-law, it's only right that I go and see her."
Don't be fooled by her mother-in-law's harsh words now; she'll definitely feel sorry for her once she calms down. If her sister-in-law doesn't feel sorry for her, her mother-in-law might hold a grudge against her.
"I'll go too."
Chu Qianqian also spoke up, and the two smiled and went out together.
Wen Fanghui looked at Su Luo apologetically: "Su Luo, I'm sorry you had to see this. You go about your business, please don't mind."
"Don't worry, madam, I won't mind anything. I'm just doing my job."
Su Luo replied calmly.
She wouldn't explain anything, nor would she try to prove her ability to the Qiao family.
Wen Fanghui is rich, and her patient Qiao Lei trusts her; that's enough.
As for the others, believe it or not, she's not gold and can't be liked by everyone.
"That's good, that's good. You go ahead with your work, I'll go check what's in the kitchen today."
Wen Fanghui breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
"Okay, my food will be brought here in a bit."
Su Luo didn't stand on ceremony. She wouldn't sit at the same table as the Qiao family for a meal, but she had spent the whole day processing these medicinal herbs, so it was impossible for her not to eat.
Wen Fanghui immediately agreed: "No problem, then we'll be going now."
Wen Fanghui waved her hand, and everyone left together.
As they left the guest room, Mr. Qiao calmly said, "You hit Jingjing a bit too hard; it hurt her pride."
Especially in front of Su Luo, it was even more hurtful to Qiao Jing's self-esteem.
Wen Fanghui rolled her eyes: "Su Luo doesn't care about her at all. It's better to lose face in front of Su Luo than in front of others. She's the one who insists on comparing herself to Su Luo. Look how much younger Su Luo is than her, and Su Luo doesn't care about her at all."
Wen Fanghui sighed as she spoke, knowing that her family did not approve of her decision now, but they would know in the future.
Thinking of her daughter, Wen Fanghui also felt a headache, but she would not try to comfort her.
Qiao Jing silently wept in her room.
Chu Qianqian and Xing Xiaomeng were both comforting her.
"Sister-in-law, you don't need to say anything more. I will definitely make Su Luo show her true colors."
Qiao Jing clenched her fists, and an idea formed in her mind.
Chu Qianqian and Xing Xiaomeng looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding.
"Jingjing, we know you're just saying things in anger. Calm down first, and we won't bother you anymore."
Chu Qianqian spoke politely, and then went out with Xing Xiaomeng.
Let Qiao Jing do whatever she wants; it's none of their business anyway.
Qiao Jing didn't come out for lunch.
No one spoke at the table, but it was clear that none of them had a good appetite.
The maid brought Su Luo her meal, which she ate with relish. After finishing her meal, she did some light exercise in the yard to aid digestion. She felt like someone was watching her, so she smiled in one direction.
You insisted on peeking at me, so you can't blame me if you're angry.
