For the whole day, Qiao Keke was controlled by Suman, and if she made any mistake, she would be punished by Suman to do housework.
Su Man like this made An Ning, who was watching silently from the side, drop her jaw in shock. Mom, is she so cruel?
In the evening, Qiao Keke deliberately dropped mud on Su Man while picking vegetables, so Su Man punished her by allowing her to only eat rice but not vegetables.
Qiao Keke chewed the bland white rice, staring at An Ning's bowl of rice opposite her.
An Ning felt uncomfortable being stared at by her. Although Qiao Keke always bullied him, the child's kindness still made him feel a little sympathetic towards her. He gave her the lotus root in his bowl and said, "Sister, have a piece."
Although Su Man saw it, she did not stop An Ning because she also wanted to see Qiao Keke's reaction.
But Qiao Keke not only didn't appreciate it, but she threw the lotus root dumplings that An Ning had put in her bowl onto the table, "Who wants your leftovers!"
An Ning subconsciously explained, "This isn't leftover. I haven't eaten it yet."
"Humph, don't think I don't know that you and your mother are in cahoots!"
After venting her anger, Qiao Keke was about to eat, but Su Man took her bowl away.
"What do you mean!"
"Since you don't want to eat, don't eat at all."
“Why?”
Su Man tapped the lotus root slices on the table with her chopsticks and said, "You're wasting food."
Qiao Keke had been feeling frustrated all day and now she had reached her limit. She yelled, "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat!"
After saying that, she ran upstairs and slammed the door shut.
...
But soon Qiao Keke tasted the bitter fruit of her willfulness.
The bowl of noodles she had at noon had been completely consumed by the afternoon's work. She wanted to sleep to keep herself from getting hungry, but her stomach was empty. She tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep.
Qiao Keke suddenly sat up from the bed. No, she couldn't let that bad woman bully her. She wanted to tell her father everything and let her father avenge her.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, while there was no one downstairs, Qiao Keke quietly went to the living room and called Qiao Yingrui on the landline.
"Hello."
Hearing Qiao Yingrui's voice, Qiao Keke's grievances immediately broke out, "Dad, wuwu..."
Hearing her crying breathlessly, Qiao Yingrui, who originally didn't want to pay attention to her, felt a little soft-hearted, "What's wrong? Why are you crying like this?"
"Woo woo, Dad, please save me. The bad woman didn't give me food and made me work. I haven't eaten for a whole day." qqxδnew
"Haven't you eaten all day?"
Qiao Yingrui frowned unconsciously. Although Keke was a little naughty, he couldn't just deny her food.
"Give the phone to Aunt Zhao."
"No, no, the bad woman will beat me again if she knows I called you. Woohoo, Keke is so scared, Daddy, please come back soon."
After all, she was his own daughter, so Qiao Yingrui still felt sorry for her. When he heard Su Man was so unreasonable, he coaxed her in a low voice, "Don't cry, I'll go back right away."
Back at the dinner table, Qiao Yingrui loosened his tie and raised his glass. "Sorry, Mr. Song, I have an emergency at home, so I have to leave first."
The man in the main seat, his cheeks flushed, squinted his eyes at him. "Mr. Qiao, what are you talking about? Didn't you invite me here today? Why are you leaving first? Mr. Qiao, how can I confidently recommend your project to our boss when you're like this?"
Qiao Yingrui had to smile apologetically, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Song, I'll be home for an hour at most, no, half an hour, and I'll be right back."
"Oh, that's enough, stop talking. Since Mr. Qiao is so busy, let's be more sensible."
Mr. Song stood up slowly and put on his suit. "Come on, Lao Zhao and Lao Li, let's find someone who has time to accompany us."
Seeing that Mr. Song was angry, Qiao Yingrui quickly apologized, "Mr. Song, please don't leave. I won't go. This is all my fault..."
Qiao Yingrui begged and persuaded, but failed to keep these giant Buddhas.
Looking at the table full of expensive dishes in the private room, Qiao Yingrui slammed the door hard.
-
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when Qiao Yingrui rushed home.
He got on the elevator tiredly, and leaned in the corner with his brows pinched.
Unexpectedly, before the elevator door closed, several parents with children came in. For a moment, the elevator was noisy and crowded, pushing Qiao Yingrui to the back.
The last people to come in were the mothers of two children. One of them said, "Hey, Sister Li, you're here so late too."
"Of course, this naughty boy of mine won't come back unless he plays until dark."
"Okay, your child just likes to play a little, not like that." The woman who spoke was mysterious.
Sister Li was obviously out of touch and asked curiously, "Which one are you talking about?"
"Oh, it seems you haven't heard of her yet. She's the little girl from our building that our stepmother is raising."
The woman tutted her tongue. "I heard from Grandma Ma that the little girl was yelling at her stepmother on the football field, and was even about to hit her. It was so hard for the stepmother. She was afraid the ball would hit her, and she was also afraid she would fall. She had to chase after her with her little son in her arms. It's really hard to be a stepmother."
"That's right. The biological mother is always right in disciplining her child, but the stepmother is not."
"That's right. If you meet a sensible man, it's fine. But if you meet someone who doesn't understand, you'll be in trouble."
As he was speaking, there was a "ding" sound and the elevator door opened.
"Oh, forget it. We're here. Sister Li, let's chat some other time."
"Go ahead, see you later."
“…”
The elevator stopped and started, and finally only Qiao Yingrui was left, with a dark look on his face.
As soon as Qiao Yingrui entered the house, Qiao Keke rushed over and hugged him.
