He stopped, stood still, looked at her, his voice seemingly calm, but his tone slightly raised: "Sister-in-law?"
There was an indescribable flavor, and a hint of intensity in his slightly narrowed eyes.
Qiao Yanzhi had no doubts: "The person your brother brought home is naturally your sister-in-law; she'll be a member of the family sooner or later."
Xiao Jinhan's eyes were deep. He glanced at her without saying a word, then turned and walked outside, carrying a chilling wind that made one's heart tremble.
Qiao Yanzhi: "..."
What happened to the fourth brother?
Su Mei: "..."
Is Fourth Master jealous of his own brother?
Hahahaha...
What to do? She really wanted to laugh, but she had to hold it in. To avoid embarrassing herself, she picked up the grapes and went to the bathroom: "I'll wash some fruit."
No one in the room spoke.
When Su Mei brought out the grapes again, Tang Yaoyao asked, "Did you sleep well?"
"Yes, I've rested well."
As she spoke, Qiao Yanzhi placed the grapes on her bedside table, her gaze shifting slightly, a wave of emotion washing over her.
Grape……
This is her youngest daughter's nickname.
If she were still alive, she would probably love eating grapes.
Seeing that she seemed a little lost in thought, Tang Yaoyao casually asked, "Ms. Qiao, do you like grapes?"
She snapped out of her reverie and gently pursed her lips: "I like it."
Tang Yaoyao suddenly remembered that the last time she counted her brothers, it was her eldest brother who told her that her nickname was Grape, guessing that she was thinking of him when she saw the object.
I didn't expect it to be true.
mom.
Don't worry, we'll find out the truth about what happened back then soon.
After we recognize each other, I hope you will no longer be sad.
"Why are you still eating? This is cold fruit after all. If you eat too much, you'll get diarrhea. And you can't get out of bed anyway. You'll suffer then."
Tang Yaoyao: "...?"
His sudden fierce demeanor was truly baffling, yet strangely, it struck her as quite adorable.
He licked his lips, smiled, and said, "Okay, I understand. We'll eat it tonight."
Ms. Qiao put the grapes in the refrigerator, sat down next to her, and scrutinized her with slightly narrowed eyes: "Ms. Tang, why do you like eating grapes so much?"
"I've loved it since I was a child, and I also love eating watermelon."
"Watermelon is cold in nature and should not be eaten."
Looking at Qiao Yanzhi's stunningly beautiful face, she was suddenly moved. In fact, when Ms. Qiao said she was trying to accept her, she had already subconsciously been kind to her and treated her as one of her own.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
It's Ye Xuan.
Her smile remained sweet, and her nurse's uniform made her look very well-behaved: "Aunt Qiao, I'm here to change Miss Tang's dressing."
"Um."
Qiao Yanzhi smiled.
At this moment, Ye Xuan came to Tang Yaoyao's side, held her hand, and realized that her hand was very beautiful, soft to the touch, with slender fingers that gave her a sculpted look. It was so beautiful that it made Ye Xuan's heart sink.
For the first time, I felt that she was a formidable rival.
She gently comforted her, "Miss Tang, let go, everything will be alright. Once this bottle of IV fluid is finished, that's it for today."
"Hmm." She nodded, her voice indifferent, her eyes devoid of any smile; her dislike for her was evident in them.
Qiao Yanzhi noticed the coldness in her eyes and pondered for a moment.
At this moment, Ye Xuan had already taken her hand and started giving her an IV drip.
The moment she was touched, Tang Yaoyao closed her eyes slightly.
Suddenly, she remembered what had happened before.
She had indeed come with a purpose. Although she couldn't foresee things related to herself, she could foresee that Ye Xuan liked several of her brothers.
She first liked her second brother, then her sixth brother, and then when she was eighteen, she fell in love with her fourth brother. Now, she likes her eldest brother.
All the brothers she had liked treated her with only one attitude: cold and indifferent, showing no affection whatsoever.
She enjoyed it immensely, but none of her brothers would even give her a second glance.
Coincidentally, among these brothers, only the eldest brother had ever doted on Fu Mengyao and naturally respected her good friend. After exchanging a few words with Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan immediately fell in love with someone else.
That's awesome!
I initially thought she only liked her eldest brother, but I discovered that she also had several other brothers in her heart.
This is true fickleness.
Since she'd already walked right into the line of fire, she'd make sure Ye Xuan saw clearly the difference between her and her brothers, and that he'd give up his daydream of wanting to eat swan meat like a toad.
"alright."
Tang Yaoyao opened her eyes: "Miss Ye, may I ask you a question?"
Ye Xuan nodded and said in a friendly manner, "Of course you can. You're Brother Chen's girlfriend, which means you're my friend. Just say what you want to say, and I won't treat you like an outsider."
Su Mei rolled her eyes at him, thinking to herself, "Brother Yao doesn't treat me like family."
"You've liked Brother Chen for so long, why haven't you confessed?"
Ye Xuan's sweet smile froze on her face, her cheeks flushed, as if she hadn't expected her to know, nor that she would say it in front of Qiao Yanzhi.
Seeing her looking as if she had suffered a great injustice, Tang Yaoyao smiled and said, "If you had confessed before, there might have been a glimmer of hope, but you missed it. Now you're here to take care of me, his girlfriend. How does that feel?"
Was it fun?
This question was extremely blunt, showing her almost no leeway. Every word was like a needle, pricking her heart and causing her to turn pale with pain.
Su Mei curled her lips into a smile.
Good job, Yao Ge!
She believed that Brother Yao wouldn't talk nonsense; these were all things that Brother Yao had calculated.
Ye Xuan suddenly felt ashamed. She hadn't expected Tang Yaoyao to be so disrespectful. She frowned, her eyes reddening, and said, "Miss Tang, I know you're hostile towards me, which is why you asked me these questions on purpose. But that's all in the past. Now, I only see Fu Xiuchen as my brother and have no other thoughts. I hope you won't overthink things and hurt yourself."
"Miss Ye, there's one thing you need to remember: my brother Chen only has one sister, Fu Putao. The Fu family can't accept anyone trying to claim kinship with him. First, I was just bored and gossiping about my brother Chen's past. How did that become intentional?"
She didn't know the formal name her mother had given her, so she simply named her Fu Putao.
It sounds quite pleasant, actually.
Ye Xuan didn't say a word, but she felt as if she had been slapped hard across the face, and it hurt terribly.
"Secondly, I am now Fu Xiuchen's girlfriend and will become Ms. Qiao's daughter in the future. I have already reached the pinnacle, so why would I want to see you hurt? Just out of curiosity, why are your answers all so irrelevant?"
As she spoke, Tang Yaoyao shrugged, looking adorably quirky, and smiled, revealing two sweet dimples: "Miss Ye, since you're alright, you can go now. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."
Ye Xuan had never seen a woman as sharp-tongued as Tang Yaoyao. She looked at Qiao Yanzhi with a wronged expression and pitifully called out, "Aunt Qiao."
