Junlin still refused to believe her and gave her a disdainful look. He then used the same approach Junshu had taught him to educate her in return, saying, "Sister, you always taught me that I can't just believe what's on the surface. I have to understand things thoroughly to get the right answer."
As a result, she was met with a merciless rebuke from Jun Shu, who said, "If you're going to do something, you should stick to the facts."
Jun Lin opened his mouth, wanting to argue further, but Jun Shu interrupted him directly, "Go back."
Because of Jun Shu's power in the Jun family, Jun Lin dared not defy her.
But in the end, I still asked, "Sis, so you agree?"
Jun Shu sighed inwardly, "For Jun Shang now, there is no better choice."
After saying goodbye to Li Xiaoxiao, Qiao Xi returned to Fuyuan. She had unconsciously started talking about her mother, and her mind was filled with images of her mother on the way back.
In fact, over the past ten years or so, her image has been slowly fading from her mind, simply because she loved the wrong person and trusted the wrong person.
The first thing Qiao Xi did when she got home was to take out a photo of her mother from the drawer. It was a photo of her mother holding her when she couldn't walk yet.
The mother in the photo smiled so warmly and brightly, but it was this very smile that pierced Qiao Xi's heart.
On the day his mother died in a car accident, the driver happened to be his son, Qiao Guangyuan. He said he didn't pay attention and crashed into an oncoming car. He only suffered minor injuries, but his mother died on the spot.
Thinking of Qiao Guangyuan's plan to join forces with the mothers to kill her, was the mother's death an accident or was it deliberate?
She was now certain that her mother's death was not an accident, but a plan by Qiao Guangyuan, possibly a plan she and He Huilan had jointly devised!
Because he brought his mother home less than three months after her death!
Qiao Guangyuan!
But she has no evidence right now. Even if Qiao Guangyuan dies, she wants him to die knowing why.
In her past life, they made sure she died knowing the truth, so of course she had to repay their 'kindness'!
The sun wasn't very strong outside today. Qiao Xi sat alone in the garden, closing her eyes to the sunlight. Many past events flashed through her mind, like a movie playing in her head.
Seeing her sitting there motionless, Du Xinyu, out of a bit of curiosity, slowly walked towards her.
Before he could even get close to her, she noticed him. "Is something wrong, little cousin?"
Du Xinyu was taken aback and said irritably, "I thought you..."
"Dead?" Qiao Xi asked directly.
"What are you doing sitting there all alone without moving?" Du Xinyu asked impatiently, but it was clearly out of concern.
"Sunbathing promotes photosynthesis," Qiao Xi said lazily, her eyes still closed.
Du Xinyu gave her a disdainful look. "Are you a plant?"
Qiao Xi not only didn't refute him, but also agreed with his statement, "People and plants both need sunlight, don't they?"
Upon hearing this, Du Xinyu immediately noticed something was wrong with her. "What's wrong with you today?"
Qiao Xi suddenly stood up, stretched, and asked with renewed energy, "Little cousin, you care about me?"
"Don't call me that." Du Xinyu looked unhappy with the way he was addressed, and noticing the way Qiao Xi was looking at him, he said warily, "And don't look at me like that either."
Qiao Xi shrugged innocently and said, "You're the one who came to bother me."
Du Xinyu suddenly cleared his throat and said, "I think... we can temporarily cease hostilities."
"What ceasefire?" Qiao Xi asked, feigning ignorance.
"Well..." Du Xinyu said awkwardly, his eyes darting around, "Could you please stop putting me down in front of my brother? I think we can try to get along peacefully."
Qiao Xi really didn't expect him to come to make amends, but it's true, he's had a very tough time surviving here lately.
Although Aunt Liu has returned, her wounded heart will probably be difficult to heal in a short time.
But he got one very important thing wrong from beginning to end: he was the one who was always looking for trouble!
Qiao Xi smiled and told him four words, "You're overthinking it."
Du Xinyu thought she was unwilling and resentfully shouted, "I...we are of the opposite sex, I'm not going to fight you for my brother, you really don't have to treat me like this."
Qiao Xi seemed to have grasped the key point, and she squinted as she looked him over.
Du Xinyu felt there was something fishy about her gaze. "What kind of look is that?"
"I don't like men!" Du Xinyu emphasized.
Qiao Xi didn't mean it that way at all, but since he could say something like that, it means he... has the potential.
Du Xinyu continued to stare at her uneasily, as if afraid she might do something to him.
Qiao Xi deliberately sighed heavily, patted his shoulder and said, "You're really overthinking it."
After saying that, she turned and walked into the house.
After realizing what was happening, Du Xinyu quickly chased after her, following her all the way to the kitchen.
Qiao Xi suddenly thought of making some flower cakes. She had originally planned to go to the cemetery to sweep her mother's grave early the next morning. When her mother was alive, her best dessert was flower cakes.
Although more than a decade has passed, that taste still lingers in her heart. Whenever she tastes it, she can always remember it. It's a pity that she can never taste it again.
However, she seems to have inherited her mother's skill in making flower cakes. Although she is terrible at cooking, she feels that she can still make flower cakes quite well.
She used to do it with her mother when she was little, and after her mother passed away, she did it for herself a few times. However, after moving into Fuyuan, she lost interest in it.
Now, let's get started!
Qiao Xi opened the refrigerator door and looked inside. There were many ingredients, but she could only use very few of them.
Having no other choice, she took out paper and pen, intending to write it down and ask Aunt Liu to buy it for her.
Du Xinyu stood to the side watching for a long time, still not understanding what she was trying to do. "What are you doing?"
"Make flower cakes," Qiao Xi told him generously.
Du Xinyu seemed somewhat unfamiliar with the name of this dessert, "Fresh Flower Cake?"
Qiao Xi had already written down the ingredients she needed, and then called over Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu, could you help me buy these ingredients?"
After glancing at the ingredients on the paper, Aunt Liu asked, "Madam, would you like to eat now?"
“Yes.” Qiao Xi nodded.
Aunt Liu immediately replied, "Okay, I'll go right away."
"Thank you for your help." Qiao Xi waved to her gratefully.
Du Xinyu inexplicably became interested in this food, and unconsciously took out his phone to search it online. Then, he suddenly realized and said to her, "If you want to eat it, why don't you just buy some?"
"I can't buy it." Qiao Xi answered crisply.
Du Xinyu had already seen the stores selling them. "How is that possible? I can buy them for you right now."
