But when he met Qiao Wanyue's innocent gaze, he couldn't utter a single word.
"Wanyue, why don't you go see Dad first?" The words that had stopped them from speaking were ultimately left unsaid.
Qiao Wanyue entered the room and met Qiao Sheng.
He lay weakly on the bed, his face pale and covered with several thick quilts in the twelfth lunar month. His eyelids were trembling, and he looked as if he was exhaling more than inhaling.
"Qiao Sheng, I'm here."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Sheng nearly choked on his breath.
Liang Xiu couldn't hold back any longer, "He's your father!"
Qiao Wanyue turned to look at Liang Xiu, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "Liang Xiu, there's no need to pretend when there are no outsiders around, is there?"
Liang Xiu's face darkened.
She really is a little bitch.
Qiao Sheng suddenly started coughing violently, as if he was coughing up his lungs. Liang Xiu went out and helped him up, letting him lean against her and gently patting his back to help him catch his breath.
"Qiao Wanyue, your father is on his deathbed, and you still refuse to acknowledge him?"
Qiao Wanyue answered without hesitation, "No."
Qiao Sheng couldn't catch his breath and fainted.
Qiao Wanyue's eyes lit up, and she shouted in a loud voice, "Qiao Sheng is dead! Blow it up!"
At the entrance, the sound of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix suddenly rang out.
Loud crying could be heard outside.
The faces of the Qiao family members grew increasingly grim.
Qiao Sheng, who had fainted, slowly opened his eyes and leaned weakly against Liang Xiu.
He stretched out his hand... and waved it weakly.
It means he's not dead yet.
Qiao Wanyue twitched her lips.
That's well controlled.
"Stop, Qiao Sheng is awake again."
Instantly, the crying and other sounds stopped.
The Qiao family was relieved.
Qiao Sheng didn't dare to faint easily.
This rebellious daughter really needs to be sent away.
“Wanyue, Father’s health isn’t good either. How about the four of us siblings take turns caring for him and seeing him off in his final moments…” Qiao Xingjia’s eyes darted around.
Qiao Wanyue looked at her so-called second brother, who had always been the most cunning since childhood.
They pinned all the bad luck on her and claimed all the good luck for themselves.
In his past life, he used his own money to start a business, but his rival schemed against him and gambled away millions. The rival made a deal: either return the money or agree to his terms, or he would kill Qiao Xingjia.
Without a second's hesitation, Qiao Xingjia said that his sister was rich.
That rival was her mortal enemy, and he wanted her dead. Qiao Xingjia indeed got her drunk and sent her to his mortal enemy's bed.
If it weren't for her friend's quick thinking, she would have died at Qiao Xingjia's hands.
Is this guy planning to use the same trick again?
Qiao Wanyue pictured Gao Yan's repulsive face.
Qiao Xingjia is a repeat offender.
Qiao Wanyue seemed to have guessed the answer.
But it still needs to be verified.
She smiled and said, "Okay."
"Wanyue, let those people at the door leave first. Father is in a much better mood when he sees you. Maybe he can live a few more days." Qiao Xingwang looked at the listless Qiao Sheng on the bed and lied through his teeth.
Qiao Wanyue said, "Brother, you're mistaken. It's better to be early than late. What if Qiao Sheng dies in the middle of the night? We won't have time to find him, and there will be no one to cry or make a commotion. What if people say we're unfilial?"
"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of their food. And you don't need to worry about accommodations either; the Qiao family has plenty of houses. Their family members will bring bedding to them at night. They can squeeze in."
The person died a few days later.
Qiao Xingwang: ......
Damn, I want to explode.
But they were the ones who invited them...
Qiao Wanyue went out happily to make arrangements for the people she had brought.
The Qiao family gritted their teeth in anger.
"Mom, calm down." Qiao Xingjia patted Liang Xiu on the shoulder.
