Chapter 89 The Beloved Little Cousin 6
The snow had stopped, but the temperature outside was still frighteningly low. The green, cold-resistant trees were covered with frost, and when the cold wind blew, a flake of frost and snow fell off.
The room was heated and warm. The brothers and sisters were eating breakfast with smiles on their faces. It was a happy atmosphere, but Xu Mengran felt inexplicably cold in her heart.
She looked at the gentle smile on the face of her stepbrother, who had always been indifferent to her and ignored her. She pursed her lips and raised a smile at the corner of her mouth, trying to join in their chat: "Qiao Qiao, eat slowly, we are not in a hurry."
Nan Qiao's earlobes were slightly red, and the blush on her face due to embarrassment had not yet dissipated. In response to her cousin's gentle words, she also hummed softly, and then seemed to feel that she was not polite enough, and belatedly realized and whispered anxiously:
"Thank you, second cousin."
Those eyes as bright as stars seemed to light up completely because of the words of the cousin opposite, and the bottom of the eyes were filled with visible joy.
Just like a little girl who can't wait to make friends of the same age when she first enters a strange environment.
Or it could be like leaving home for the first time and seeing a kitten of the same age, eagerly yet timidly stretching out its little paws to make friends.
So innocent and naive.
There is no aggressiveness at all.
Xu Mengran took in the joy on the girl opposite her as she spoke. The smile on her lips deepened slightly, and the vigilance hidden in her heart gradually faded away.
really.
She's just a little girl who knows nothing.
The smile on the corner of her mouth turned a little cold. Xu Mengran turned her head to look at her elder brother, with a superficial doting in her eyes.
"Brother, will Qiao Qiao go to school with us then?"
Xu Congnan withdrew his gaze from the kitten-like girl and said calmly, "There's no rush about studying. Go to the hospital for a checkup first. If there's nothing serious, you can start school directly next semester."
Xu Mengran looked very surprised: "That's great, then I can go to school with my cousin!"
"Don't worry, no one can bully my cousin while I'm here!" She patted her chest mischievously, her cheeks, which had regained their rosy color, were full of energy and looked full of vitality.
Nan Qiao was grateful in her heart, and a smile appeared on her lips: "Thank you, second cousin."
The two girls smiled at each other, their smiles were warm and friendly, as if indicating that the bridge of friendship had been officially built.
Several boys from the Xu family looked at the scene with different expressions.
Xu Congnan still had an unpredictable smile on his face, but his gaze was still fixed on the girl, with an unclear expression in his eyes.
Xu Shijing and Xu Li were the simplest people. They were happy to see their two sisters getting along harmoniously.
Xu Mu still maintained his original posture, but his other hand was lazily playing with the car keys in his hand, and the sarcasm under his lowered eyelashes could not be concealed.
Xu Huizhou lowered his head to look at his cell phone, typing a few words impatiently from time to time, as if he knew nothing about the friendship between the two sisters in the restaurant.
Only Xu Jie looked at his sister, then slowly shifted his gaze to Nan Qiao, bit the spoon, his expression sometimes complicated, sometimes relaxed, extremely contradictory, and in the end he seemed to be completely relieved.
The overly active expression on his face made him stand out among the cool and proper young masters of the Xu family.
Seeing that the two girls seemed to be on good terms, Xu Jie felt relieved.
Xu Jie has always protected his sister.
Ever since he heard his mother say that Xu Mengran was not of the Xu family's blood and was the easiest to be bullied, he vowed to protect his sister forever.
So whether it was at school or in the old house, anyone who said that Xu Mengran was not of the Xu family blood and was not worthy of staying in the old house was retaliated against by him with brute force.
That was why, when he learned that another cousin who had Xu family blood and had hurt his sister was going to return to the Xu family, he felt so nervous and regarded Nan Qiao as a thorn in his side before even meeting her.
But what he didn't expect was that all his dislike and disgust disappeared in an instant when he saw the girl, just like clouds in the sky being broken by the scorching sun.
Xu Jie raised his eyes and once again looked at the girl who had just finished her breakfast with the sneaky look he hated the most.
Her long eyelashes fluttered like wings, her bright eyes were filled with joy, and her thick black hair was draped over her shoulders.
Bright, cute and innocent.
It's so fun to watch.
Did such a person really push his sister? After tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep, Xu Jie finally figured it out.
He seemed... really didn't want to hurt this cousin.
Xu Jie's eyes were clearly purple, but his face was filled with a bright smile. His eyes drifted to the girl, and after a moment, he lowered his head in embarrassment, thinking to himself:
As my second uncle said, there is nothing better than admitting one’s mistakes and correcting them.
If... if this cousin really realized her mistake, he could give her a chance to reform.
Breakfast was over, and Xu Congnan and the others had to go to work. Xu Li also took his two younger sisters to the hospital.
The Xu family is a wealthy family, and among their various investments they also have investments in the medical services industry, so they also have shares in hospitals.
Qi Fu Hospital is the largest hospital in Mingzhu City. As a private hospital, Qi Fu Hospital also has investment from the Xu family.
Xu Congnan had already arranged appointments for all the examinations for today. As soon as he got out of the car, he was directly welcomed into the hospital by the hospital staff.
There is no need to register or wait. The series of examinations are arranged very quickly. In just two hours, most of the examinations are completed. You just need to wait patiently for the results.
Xu Li looked at his watch and it was almost lunch time.
Because it is a hospital under the Xu family, all the examination reports do not need to be picked up in person. The hospital will send them to the Xu family after the results come out. Therefore, after completing all the examinations, Xu Li took his two sisters back home.

Snow began to fall outside the window again. Xu Congnan rubbed his eyebrows, and his face, which had been tired after a whole day, was also a little tired.
Darkness falls quickly in winter, and before six o'clock, night begins to fall. He takes a sip of his now-cold coffee, picks it up, and walks to the glass wall, overlooking the entire Pearl City from above.
It was snowing heavily, and the whole place was covered in white. The university covered the entire city, and the bustling Mingzhu City seemed to become particularly clean under the falling snow.
"President, the coffee is cold. Could you please let me change it?" the secretary walked in quickly and said.
Xu Congnan waved his hand and took two more sips. He was a workaholic, working long hours every day, and the cold coffee was a refreshing refreshment.
"President, the results of the two young ladies' hospital examinations today are out. I have sent them to your email."
Normally, the Xu family's medical examination reports would be sent directly to the main residence, but for some reason this time, the president actually asked the hospital to send a copy to his secretary.
Holding the coffee, Xu Congnan paused slightly, frowned and nodded, returned to his seat, and opened his email.
Two folders were listed in the mailbox one by one. Xu Congnan skipped the first one and directly clicked on the second one. Then he moved the mouse and scrolled directly to the bottom.
Then look closely:
"…Patient's blood type: O type…"
The result was as expected. Xu Congnan was silent for a moment, picked up his phone and made a call.

Nan Qiao has been living in Xu's house for a few days, and the restraint and uneasiness she felt when she first arrived has dissipated a lot.
After having dinner with my grandmother, the sky gradually darkened. Nan Qiao sat in front of the French window on the fourth floor, hugging her knees, staring blankly out the window.
Knock knock knock, there's a knock on the door.
Nan Qiao came back to her senses, stood up, opened the door, and saw the man outside.
"Cousin, you're back."
The girl smiled, her clear eyes filled with burning joy, which made people feel warm in their hearts.
Xu Congnan stared at the girl with a slightly darkened look in his eyes, a smile on his lips, looking approachable.
"Yeah, just got back. Came to see you."
Nan Qiao was used to being alone abroad, so she was happy that someone cared about her. Her eyes were bright as she turned sideways and opened the door.
"Cousin, come in and sit down."
When Xu Congnan entered the house, the girl kindly asked him to sit down, then poured him a cup of hot tea and took out some snacks, as if she was entertaining a guest, in a very formal manner.
The room was not cold, and she was only wearing a thin long-sleeved shirt. Her hair was tied up in a bun, revealing her slender neck. She was not wearing socks, and her toes were crystal clear and round, and her ankles were white and delicate.
Xu Congnan frowned and noticed that she was not wearing socks: "Why isn't Qiao Qiao wearing socks?"
Hmm?
Nan Qiao looked down at his feet and said nonchalantly:
"Because it's not cold in the house, and there's carpet, so I don't need to wear it... I guess."
The girl's voice became smaller and smaller under Xu Congnan's gaze, and the last sentence was almost inaudible, making her seem particularly guilty.
She walked to the shoe rack by the door and took out the prepared socks. The two long, fuzzy socks looked warm, and she quickly put them on her fair feet.
Xu Congnan said helplessly: "Although the room is warm, most of the cold air seeps through the floor, so we still have to be careful."
The girl nodded, looking obedient.
Xu Congnan chuckled, with a smile in his eyes, as if he could see through her little naughty thoughts beneath her well-behaved appearance.
He took a sip of tea, and the sweet aftertaste moistened his throat. The tea was still steaming, and the rising water vapor misted up his glasses.
The man took off his glasses, and his handsome features were completely exposed under the light. His eyelashes were long and drooping, which looked very beautiful.
Nan Qiao watched with admiration and praised, "My cousin looks so handsome without his glasses."
Xu Huinan: "You mean I don't look good wearing glasses?"
Nan Qiao quickly waved her hands: "That's not what I meant. Actually, they all look good."
She suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "...I just think my cousin looks more refined with glasses, and he looks more handsome without them..."
After all, a good-looking person would look good even if he was wearing a sack. In her opinion, whether her cousin wore glasses or not was just a change in style.
Without the decoration of glasses, his facial features are even more handsome and handsome, with narrow eyes and a high nose bridge. His cold facial features are tinged with a hint of danger.
Xu Congnan chuckled again and said with interest, "Is that so..."
"So Qiao Qiao prefers brother wearing glasses or not?"
The author has something to say:
I’m here!!
There's been so much going on lately, so I can only say I'll try to update daily! The time is uncertain! (Or maybe I'll run out of stock.)
