Chapter 118: Gentle and gentle, it scares us a little
Qiao Bei returned to the Banshan Manor, and Xu Jiaowan and Shang Yaorong were drinking tea downstairs.
Seeing her come back, Xu Jiaowan waved at her: "Xiaoyou, come and sit next to mommy."
Qiao Bei sat over and took her arm affectionately: "Mom, how do you feel today?"
Xu Jiaowan: "Much better. My mind feels much clearer and my body doesn't feel so heavy anymore. Xiaoyou, your medicine really works."
Qiao Bei: "You have to keep taking it. After three months, it will basically be completely healed."
"Oh, that's great!" Xu Jiaowan was very excited.
She has been tortured by illness over the years. If she hadn't been thinking about her daughter, sometimes she really wanted to leave.
"Xiaoyou, you haven't eaten yet, I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you."
Qiao Bei: "I've eaten outside."
"Eating with your eldest brother?"
Qiao Bei: “…”
Is she going to tell the truth?
Xu Jiaowan is so smart. She was a tough girl when she was young. She accompanied Shang Yaorong to build the Shang family's empire. She is very good at reading people's faces and guessing their thoughts.
She looked at her daughter's little face and knew that something was wrong.
"Tell me, who are you having dinner with?"
Her expression was a little serious.
Qiao Bei was a little frightened.
Shang Yaorong patted his wife's hand and said, "Gentle, gentle, you scared us."
Only then did Xu Jiaowan restrain her expression and become much gentler.
"Who is Xiaoyou having dinner with?"
Qiao Bei: “…”
This change of expression is too fast.
"I met Fu Tanxiu and had dinner with him."
Shang Yaorong and Xu Jiaowan's faces darkened at the same time.
Qiao Bei glanced at them cautiously.
He explained quietly, "We just had a meal and didn't do anything else."
She knew that her family had a lot of opinions about Fu Tanxiu.
Xu Jiaowan: "What else do you want to do?"
Qiao Bei: "I don't want to do anything."
Xu Jiaowan sighed, "You're still too naive and kind-hearted. How could you have dinner with that bastard after he treated you like that? You should give him a few slaps in the face!"
Qiao Bei gave an awkward smile.
"Mom, it's not that serious."
Xu Jiaowan changed the subject: "Why did he come to Xuancheng?"
Qiao Bei: "It seems like I came to talk to my brother about something."
"I don't think so. He knows you are our merchant's daughter, and he has developed feelings for you and is plotting something bad against you."
"Mom, you think too much."
"I didn't think too much about it. I knew what he was thinking without even looking. Xiaoyou, stay away from him. You can't have a man like that. After the banquet in a few days, I'll find you some boys with good family backgrounds and good character. They're a hundred times better than that Fu Tanxiu."
When Qiao Bei heard this, he was overwhelmed.
"Mom, please don't. I don't want to find a boyfriend right now."
Xu Jiaowan took her hand and asked gently, "Do you still like that bastard?"
"I don't like that bastard. No, I... I don't like Fu Tanxiu."
"It's better if you don't like me anymore. We won't go back."
Qiao Bei: “…”
Xu Jiaowan: "I know that there are quite a few good children from aristocratic families in Xuancheng. Mom will introduce them to you when the time comes."
"Mom, you should worry about my three brothers first. They're still single. Last time my second brother introduced me to someone, he specifically emphasized that the three of them were unmarried. I think my second brother is feeling romantic and wants to find a partner. He wants me to introduce him to someone. You should quickly arrange something for him."
Shang Wujue, who was in a meeting at work, sneezed several times.
Xu Jiaowan's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Qiao Bei: "Anyway, that's how he introduced it. If you don't believe me, ask Dad."
Xu Jiaowan turned to look at her husband.
Shang Yaorong coughed and said, "Wu Jue did say that."
Xu Jiaowan was very happy.
"Great! They finally thought of this. It's just right. We can invite all the girls of the right age in Xuancheng to the banquet the next day."
Xu Jiaowan was so happy that she almost jumped out of her wheelchair when she thought that she would soon have three daughters-in-law and a lot of grandchildren next year.
Shang Yaorong: “…”
He was recalling, was that what his son meant at the time?
Never mind, never mind!
Let your wife do whatever she wants.
The sons were indeed of marriageable age.
Qiao Bei successfully diverted the fight and slipped away to see Qiao Doudou.
When Qiao Doudou saw her mother, she happily spit out saliva bubbles all over her face.
Qiao Bei wiped him off in disgust before hugging him.
Shang Siyu ran into the house, jumping and skipping with a lollipop in his mouth.
"Aunt, is my brother awake?"
Qiao Bei looked down at the little one and said with a smile, "He's awake."
"Great, I want to play with him. He was sleeping when I came here just now."
Qiao Bei sat on the chair so that Shang Siyu could see Qiao Doudou.
Qiao Doudou was trying to snatch Shang Siyu's lollipop with her claws and teeth.
Shang Siyu was generous. He took the lollipop out of his mouth and was about to put it into Qiao Doudou's mouth, but was stopped by Qiao Bei.
"My brother can't eat candy yet."
"Why?"
"The president is not tall."
"Why?"
"If you eat too much sugar, you won't grow taller. You should eat less."
"Why? Sugar tastes good."
Qiao Bei: “…”
She was so tired. Why was this kid asking so many questions? How could she answer them all?
"Ask your brother to give you the answer."
"My brother is studying."
“Why don’t you study?”
Shang Siyu licked his lollipop and said, "I'm still a child. I don't need to study."
Qiao Bei was happy.
How could my eldest brother and his wife give birth to such a cute child?
Shang Siyu and Shang Siao are simply two extremes.
One is silly, the other is mature beyond his years.
Shang Siyu quickly finished his lollipop, then thought about Qiao Doudou's rations. Holding the bottle, he said, "This looks delicious. Can I have some, Auntie?"
"No."
"Why?"
Qiao Bei looked at his eager eyes and finally compromised, "Aunt Zeng will make you another cup. This bottle is for your brother."
"Okay!"
Sister Zeng was right next to them. She laughed out loud, went out to get a cup, and came back to make a cup of milk powder for Shang Siyu.
Shang Siyu held the milk powder and took a sip.
“It’s quite delicious!”
Qiao Doudou felt that his food was about to be snatched away, so he drank very quickly, finishing a bottle of milk in two minutes.
Shang Siyu also drank a glass of milk in one breath and rubbed his stomach contentedly.
Qiao Bei almost died of laughter.
This little idiot is also a foodie.
After a while, he ran to find Shang Siao.
"Brother! Brother! My little brother's milk tastes so good, please buy it for me."
Shang Si'ao frowned: "Did you drink your brother's milk powder?"
"Well, I had a drink, it was delicious. I saw Aunt Zeng use a powder to make it. Can you buy it for me?"
Shang Siao was annoyed by his pestering and actually took out his mobile phone to buy him a box of milk powder.
He had seen the brand of milk powder that Qiao Doudou drank, remembered it, and quickly found it online.
In this family, Shang Si'ao has control over money, but Shang Siyu does not.
…
The next day, Qiao Bei followed Shang Wufang and Shang Wulin to Bofang Media, and indeed saw many big stars.
The person who I could only see on TV before was now standing in front of her and greeting her.
Qiao Bei was a little excited.
