Chapter 136 No one’s opinion in their family is important to the eldest brother
Before Qi Lianxin could say anything, Fu Tanxiu found an excuse and hung up.
Fu Yao came over: "Mom, where is my brother?"
Qi Lianxin said coldly, "Qiao Bei's place."
"ah?"
Fu Yao was still in a daze, Qi Lianxin had already gotten into the car. Fu Yao reacted and hurriedly opened the car door.
Half an hour later, Qi Lianxin and Fu Yao stood downstairs of Guanghua Community.
Fu Yao held Qi Lianxin: "Mom, forget it, let's go."
Qi Lianxin turned her head and looked at her puzzledly: "What's wrong with you?"
Last time, when Fu Yao knew she was coming to see Qiao Bei, she jumped up and down and wanted to follow her, and also said a lot of bad things about Qiao Bei.
What happened today?
When they were in the car, she was trying to persuade her not to come.
Fu Yao looked down at the ground uncomfortably.
"I think if my brother likes it, then let him do it. They already have a child anyway. Even if you try to stop him, you can't. My brother has always had his own ideas since he was a child, and he won't listen to you."
Qi Lianxin: "Why have you changed? Aren't you and Qiao Bei incompatible? Don't you want her to marry into our family?"
"That was my previous thought, but I've come to terms with it now. I have no problem with my brother liking Qiao Bei."
Her opinion doesn't really matter.
No one’s opinion in the family is important to the eldest brother, and no one can stop him from doing what he wants to do.
He had already achieved financial independence and didn't need to rely on his family at all. On the contrary, his father's company still relied on his eldest brother to get projects. His eldest brother was more famous in Longcheng than his father.
So the family members can't influence the eldest brother.
She had known this truth before, but she hated Qiao Bei so much at that time that the jealousy in her heart made her lose her mind and jump around like a clown.
Qi Lianxin: "You don't mind, but I do!"
Qi Lianxin was too lazy to care about her daughter's strange behavior, so she walked into the building.
Go to the seventh floor and knock on the door.
But no one opened the door after knocking for a long time.
Fu Yao: "Mom, it seems no one is home."
Qi Lianxin frowned. Qiao Bei had no other place to live.
unless……
"She should have moved to your brother's house."
Fu Yao was stunned for a moment and also felt that this was a possibility.
Qiao Bei is just a Chinese medicine practitioner with little money, and this is the only house she can live in. If she weren't living here, she might reconcile with her brother and move into his house.
Fu Yao: "Never mind, let's go home."
Qi Lianxin had no choice but to leave first.
…
Qiao Bei received a video call from Xu Jiaowan. She glanced at Fu Tanxiu and ran upstairs before daring to answer the call.
"Mother."
"Xiaoyou." Xu Jiaowan called her with a smile in the video.
Qiao Bei looked at her and said, "Mom, you didn't turn on the beauty filter, did you?"
"No, I don't know how to do that."
"Mom, you look so good without the beauty filter!"
Xu Jiaowan was praised by her little sweetheart and couldn't stop smiling.
"It's because your medicine worked. I can walk now. I can even take a walk in the garden with your father after dinner."
"Then you have to take your medicine on time and get better faster."
"Understood, Master Qiao."
"Mom, you're teasing me!"
"No, my little cotton-padded jacket is really amazing."
She has already laid off several family doctors and donated the medical equipment in the house.
With her little cotton-padded jacket, I don’t need those things anymore.
The mother and daughter talked about some heartfelt words for a while, and Xu Jiaowan wanted to see her grandson.
Qiao Bei didn't know whether Fu Tanxiu had left.
"Mom, wait a minute, I'll look for Qiao Doudou."
Qiao Bei walked to the stairs and looked down. The person sitting on the sofa was gone. She then felt relieved and went downstairs to ask Sister Zeng to bring Qiao Doudou over.
Xu Jiaowan entertained her grandson for a while through the screen. A minute later, Shang Yaorong also came in front of the camera, and the two elderly people smiled and played with their grandson.
Afterwards, Qiao Bei chatted with Shang Yaorong for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
Before going to bed, she received a message from Lu Yanxun.
[Beibei, I'm on the plane, going to Africa.]
Qiao Bei messaged him back.
[Okay, be careful over there.]
Lu Yanxun didn't reply.
Qiao Bei put down his phone and went to sleep.
…
The next day at noon, Qiao Bei was about to go to the fast food restaurant next door for lunch when Fu Tanxiu walked in.
He was tall and graceful, standing in the retro-decorated medical clinic, like a handsome young man from ancient times.
Qiao Bei was stunned for a moment: "Why are you here at this time?"
Fu Tanxiu walked up to her and held her hand naturally.
"miss you."
Qiao Bei's cheeks flushed red, and she turned to look at Zong Bo. Zong Bo smiled and said, "Just pretend I don't exist. You guys continue."
Qiao Bei: “…”
Fu Tanxiu smiled and pulled her out of the clinic.
"I'll take you to dinner."
Qiao Bei didn't want to waste time: "No, I'll just eat at the fast food restaurant next door."
Fu Tanxiu frowned: "I'll have someone bring you food from now on."
Before Qiao Bei could say no, Fu Tanxiu said, "Don't refuse!"
Then he said, "Don't worry, it's not far. I've already ordered the food. Let's eat when we get there."
Only then did Qiao Bei get into the car with him.
The two came to an exquisite Chinese restaurant.
The waiter took them directly to a private room where the table was already filled with dishes.
Qiao Bei's eyes lit up. These were all her favorite foods.
Fu Tanxiu pulled out a chair for her: "Sit down."
Qiao Bei didn't hesitate and sat down to start eating.
Fu Tanxiu washed his hands and peeled a plate of shrimp for her.
Qiao Bei looked at the plate of shrimp and his eyes flickered.
"Thanks."
Fu Tanxiu suddenly said, "I'm going on a business trip soon."
Qiao Bei looked up at him in surprise, and after a while, he said, "Oh."
Fu Tanxiu: "That's it?"
Qiao Bei asked again: "Where to?"
"Haishi."
Fu Tanxiu didn't expect her to ask anything else, so he took the initiative to explain: "I'll be back in four or five days at the earliest. If there's a delay, it might take a week."
"oh."
Qiao Bei was eating the plate of shrimp. After a while, she found that Fu Tanxiu didn't move. She looked up at him and saw that Fu Tanxiu was staring at her with resentment in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Fu Tanxiu: "You don't have any instructions for me?"
Qiao Bei thought about it and shook his head.
"You are so outstanding, you don't need my instructions."
Fu Tanxiu: “…”
He almost couldn't catch his breath.
Why didn't he realize that Qiao Bei was a little stupid before?
Her man is going on a business trip for a week, can't she show any concern?
Qiao Bei really didn’t think too much about it. They were all adults and knew how to act in moderation. Fu Tanxiu could take care of himself without her reminder.
She was busy clearing the delicious food on the table, and later realized that Fu Tanxiu didn't seem to have eaten much.
She looked up and said, "You're going to be on a plane soon, and the food isn't very good. You should eat something quickly."
Fu Tanxiu finally felt a little relieved.
"You give it to me."
Qiao Bei: “…”
She took Fu Tanxiu's plate and picked up some of each dish for him.
"Eat quickly."
Fu Tanxiu curled the corners of his mouth and raised his slender phoenix eyes.
The little woman still cared about him a little.
