The man's voice was very pleasant. If Tang Huihui were here, she might even find his voice familiar. "Xiuli, I'm back."
Qiao Xiuli was silent for a moment before saying, "I'm getting married."
"I know."
"Since you know that, then... goodbye."
"Wait." The other person's voice was urgent. "Shuli, I want to have a serious talk with you."
Qiao Xiuli closed her eyes briefly. "No need. My mind is made up."
"Xiuli, you can't do this to me."
Qiao Xiuli remained silent for a while. "I'm sorry. This was my father's last wish."
"I know. But do you love him?"
Qiao Xiuli did not speak.
The other person firmly stated, "You don't love him. You love me."
“My dad always wanted me to be with him.”
“Your father is your father. You are you. Xiuli, you can’t be with him just because your father wants you to. Xiuli, a marriage without love is a tomb.”
Qiao Xiuli looked up at the sky. "My father's judgment is never wrong. Even if he doesn't love me, he will still treat me well."
"That's not necessarily true. Xiuli, I heard from your mom that that person seems to have quite a background."
"Um."
"If you show up like this, people will definitely think you're after their family background."
Qiao Xiuli smiled. "So what? I don't care."
The other person's voice suddenly rose. "You may not care, but I do. Xiuli, I won't allow others to misunderstand you."
Qiao Xiuli smiled. "I appreciate your kindness."
"Xiuli, you won't be happy if you marry him."
“I will be happy. He comes from a good family and is capable. If I marry him, many women will envy me.”
"You won't be happy. Xiuli, if you liked money and power, you wouldn't have helped me in the first place."
"I'm helping you for my own sake."
The other person was silent for a moment, then said, "Xiuli, don't smear yourself like this. Okay?"
“I’m not smearing myself, that’s really what I think. You see, I helped you, and I benefited too. Isn’t that right?”
"Xiuli!" The other person's voice sounded both heartbroken and helpless. "In this world, I know you better than your parents do."
"What you know is what I wanted to show you."
"Xiuli, please don't do this. Okay?"
"Don't trust others too easily in the future. Okay, that's all for now. My fiancé will be here to pick me up soon."
"I am your fiancé."
"My father does not acknowledge you as my fiancé."
"Your mother admits it."
“My mom will change her mind. Because I can convince her.” Qiao Xiuli closed her eyes briefly. “But my dad… I’ll never have the chance to convince him again.”
The other party remained silent.
Qiao Xiuli sniffed: "Okay. That's fine then."
"Xiuli, how can you bear to abandon me?"
"You'll have a better future if you leave me."
"Without you, my future, no matter how good, is meaningless."
Qiao Xiuli smiled. "Why does that sound so familiar?"
"You know I'm telling the truth."
"Whether it's true or false, it doesn't matter to me anymore." Qiao Xiuli walked to the door, raised her hand, and knocked. "My fiancé is here. I'm hanging up."
"Xiuli, think it over again."
"I need to open the door for my fiancé. Goodbye." With that, Qiao Xiuli hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xiuli went to sit on the chair by the window.
A moment later, Qiao Xiuli received a text message on her phone.
Qiao Xiuli knew she shouldn't look, but... Qiao Xiuli picked up her phone.
On the other side, Tang Huihui and her sister looked at Xiaoman in surprise.
Tang Huihui: "Binzi, haven't you warmed your wife's heart yet?"
Sister: "Mom, Dad, you didn't get together because you loved each other, did you?"
Han Dashan coughed twice. "Binzi's mother, we should go for a walk."
Tang Huihui stood up from her chair and pointed at Han Bin: "How can you be so stupid? Tengteng and Youyou are just like you."
Han Dashan tugged at Tang Huihui. "Come on, let's go for a walk."
After Tang Huihui and Han Dashan left, the older sister moved a stool and sat down next to Han Bin. "Dad, Mom doesn't love you. Are you sad? Aren't you upset?"
Han Bin raised his hand and tapped his sister on the head. "You brat. Who said your mother doesn't love me?"
"Hehe... That's what Mom said. Didn't you hear it too? Dad, don't force yourself." The older sister patted her shoulder. "Dad, if you want to cry, I'll lend you my shoulder."
"You brat. If your father is going to cry, he'll cry on your mother's shoulder."
"Huh?!" The older sister's eyes widened in surprise. "My mother doesn't love you, yet you still want to lean on her shoulder and cry?"
Han Bin replied matter-of-factly, "Of course."
The older sister wanted to cover her face. "Dad, you're a man! A man! A man!"
"Silly girl," Han Bin said, looking at his sister, "Can't boys act cute?"
"Uh... okay." The older sister asked curiously. "Dad, if Mom doesn't love you, how come you two are doing so well?"
Han Bin smiled. "Guess."
The older sister thought for a moment. "I can't guess."
"If you can't guess, then don't bother. Go wash the dishes in the kitchen."
"All right."
After his sister went to the kitchen, Han Bin kissed Xiaoman on the cheek. "Wife, I'm going to work."
"Um."
Han Bin came out of the house and patted Xiao Hei, Lao Lang, and Xiao Lang: "I'm going to work. You guys stay home and take good care of the house."
Hearing Han Bin talking to the little black dogs, the older sister came out of the kitchen and walked to Han Bin's side, whispering, "Dad, my brothers Tengteng and Youyou actually take after my mother, right?"
"How could you take after your mother? You take after me."
The older sister glanced at Han Bin's back. "Dad, did you win Mom's heart by taking the blame for her?"
"Hehe... Not everyone can take the blame for their mother's mistakes."
The older sister winked at Han Bin. "Dad, you're so cunning."
"How can this be called cunning? This is called love."
The older sister smiled. "Yes. That's called love. Dad, if all my brothers were as cunning as you, Mom wouldn't have to worry."
"Don't worry. I'll teach your brothers to be as cunning as I am."
"Okay. Dad, I believe in you."
"Yes. Dad went to work."
"Um."
After Han Bin left, my older sister went back to the kitchen to tidy up. When she finished, she saw Xiaoman come out of the room. "Mom, are you going out?"
"Hmm." Xiaoman glanced at Xiaohei. Xiaohei then walked to Xiaoman's side.
"Mother, let me go with you."
"Need not."
"Alright, Mom, then go slowly."
"Um."
After Xiaoman and Xiaohei left, the older sister moved the easel into the yard. "Old wolf, little wolf, come here. I'll paint a picture for you."
The old wolf and the little wolf came over when they heard their sister call them.
Soon, my sister finished drawing.
The older sister showed the drawing to the old wolf and the little wolf: "Does it look like them?"
The old wolf and the little wolf nodded.
The older sister ruffled the heads of the old wolf and the little wolf. "Good boy/girl. Go play."
After the old wolf and the little wolf left, the older sister brought out the rocking chair. As soon as she sat down, the old wolf and the little wolf came over and rocked her.
My sister smiled. "I'll give you an extra meal at noon."
The old wolf and the little wolf licked their lips happily.
A little while later, my older sister fell asleep in the rocking chair.
More than an hour later, my older sister woke up. She stretched and yawned. "Ah, that feels so good."
After stretching, the older sister wondered if Tengteng and her younger brother could handle Chou Chou. As soon as she saw it, she fell off the rocking chair to the ground.
