"Anyway, I'm glad Xiaoxiao is safe and sound. I'll heat up the food and let's eat!"
The food had been prepared long ago and was no longer hot.
"Grandma, we won't eat here. You're all alone at home waiting for us. Let's go home and eat together tomorrow."
Whether or not Qiao Xiaoguang has his family behind the scenes, the truth will be revealed tomorrow.
Through the seed hidden in Qiao Xiaoguang, Yang Baiyi could sense everything about him.
Because they were driving and Qiao Xiaoguang was walking, they haven't reached home yet.
"Okay, I'll make you something delicious tomorrow."
Jinyun Villa is located in a remote area, and it is almost dark now. It is really not possible to leave her alone at home.
"Aunt, godfather brought home a lot of fruits today. I don't recognize most of them, but they are all very delicious."
"Really? Have you finished eating? Did you leave some for your aunt?"
"There's a lot left. I just tasted it. I want to eat it with my aunt!"
"You have a conscience, and your aunt loves you well!"
…
On the way back, Yang Xiaoxiao and Lele sat in the back seat, chattering non-stop.
Yang Baiyi could feel that Qiao Xiaoguang had arrived home.
Qiao Xiaoguang's home is also in the government housing complex, in the back row of apartment buildings.
It is not difficult to see from the location of his home that Qiao Xiaoguang's father is not of a high rank, because high-ranking cadres all live in private houses with their own courtyards.
"Dad, I have something to tell you."
As soon as he entered the door, Qiao Xiaoguang wanted to report what happened today to his father.
"Eat first. Look at what time it is now. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it after dinner."
Qiao Xiaoguang's father wore a pair of black-framed glasses, had no smile on his face, and acted very arrogant.
While eating, the family of five did not say a word. Apart from the sounds of chewing and chopsticks hitting the bowl, there was no other unnecessary noise.
"You can tell at first glance that he's a bureaucratic cadre. He has such strict rules even at home."
Yang Baiyi shook his head. He really didn't like this kind of person.
When we returned to Jinyun Villa, it was already completely dark.
"Why are you so late today?"
Hearing the cheerful calls of Dahuang and the others, Lin Wanru, who was waiting in the middle courtyard, also came out to greet them.
"Xiaoxiao was delayed because she was helping her classmates with their homework."
The matter of Qiao Xiaoguang cannot be determined yet, and Yang Baiyi does not want to discuss this topic in front of his sister.
"Oh, Xiaoxiao and Lele are starving, right? Let's eat now."
The four of them, two adults and two children, returned to the middle courtyard. Lin Wanru brought out the hot food in the pot. Yang Xiaoxiao took Lele to wash their hands, and then they sat around the dining table and started eating dinner.
Yang Baiyi dealt with the questions from his sister and godson in a disjointed manner, while paying attention to the situation in the Qiao family.
After the Qiao family finished dinner, Qiao Xiaoguang's mother and sisters cleaned up the dishes, and Qiao Xiaoguang was called to the bedroom by his father.
"If you have anything to say, you can tell me now."
Qiao Zhengde picked up the teacup, blew on the tea leaves floating on it, and took a sip with a slurp.
"Dad, today I asked Xiaoxiao to help me with my tutoring and asked her to have dinner at a state-owned restaurant this weekend, but she refused."
Qiao Xiaoguang looked very depressed.
"Humph, if you can't even do this, what else can you do? I'm not dead yet, who are you trying to show off to? How could I, Qiao Zhengde, have such a cowardly son like you?"
Qiao Zhengde cursed in frustration.
"I have to support a whole family with my salary alone, and you can't help at all!
A strong woman is afraid of a clingy man. If one time doesn't work, try twice. If two times don't work, try three times. Tomorrow, you can continue to ask Yang Xiaoxiao to help you with your homework.
Usually, I help her, take care of her, take charge of her duties, run errands for her, etc.
Relationships are built slowly. If you get rejected once, you'll be in tears. You can't be so frustrated.
After having a tantrum, Qiao Zhengde began to help his son with advice.
"Dad, because I stayed up too late for tutoring today, Xiao Xiao's brother has already found the school. The way he looked at me was so cold that I was a little scared."
When Qiao Xiaoguang recalled Yang Baiyi's eyes, he still felt a chill all over his body.
"Look at your lack of ambition. You and Yang Xiaoxiao are classmates. It's perfectly normal for classmates to help each other. How could he know your purpose? I think you're just guilty and imagining things."
Qiao Zhengde was speechless about his cowardly son. His timid and cowardly appearance did not resemble him, Qiao Zhengde, at all.
"Xiaoguang, I told you that Yang Xiaoxiao is Mayor Xiao's granddaughter. It's your blessing that you can be assigned to the same class and study group with her.
You must not miss such a rare opportunity. If you can capture her, and Mayor Xiao takes care of her, your future will be secure."
Qiao Zhengde, who came from an ordinary family and had no connections or background, had no chance of promotion.
Three years ago, Mayor Xiao returned to Suzhou and vigorously rectified the bureaucracy. A large number of vacancies appeared in various government agencies. Qiao Zhengde did not have any major achievements, but he had not made any mistakes either, so he was appointed as the section chief.
It is said that the butt determines the head, and people's desires will continue to expand as their positions are promoted.
His ultimate goal before was to become a section chief, but now that he has become one, he is no longer satisfied with it.
But now is different from before. After Xiao Qingyang came back to power, there are strict assessment standards for the promotion of officials. Without outstanding political achievements, there is no possibility of promotion at all.
Qiao Zhengde sighed more than once that he was unlucky and had missed the good times.
In the past, giving gifts would give one a chance to get promoted, but he was just a small clerk, struggling to support his family, and had no spare money to go out and spend money.
Now that he is a section chief, his salary has increased and he has some savings, but the officialdom has become more clean again.
The leaders in charge of each unit are all Xiao Qingyang's direct subordinates, and they have all been carefully selected by him. Qiao Zhengde can't find a way to give them gifts.
Sometimes, opportunities come unexpectedly. His son was assigned to the same class as Mayor Xiao’s granddaughter. He felt that the opportunity had come.
If I don’t seize such a good opportunity, I will be so sorry for God’s arrangement.
So, he gave his son Qiao Xiaoguang a strict order to establish a good relationship with Yang Xiaoxiao.
What if my son is lucky enough to become the son-in-law of Mayor Xiao's granddaughter? Would I still be afraid of not having the opportunity to be promoted?
As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper. In order to make his granddaughter's life better, Mayor Xiao will also help the Qiao family.
To put it another way, even if Yang Xiaoxiao looked down on her son, at most the status quo would be maintained, and her family would not suffer any loss.
"Okay, then I'll ask her to help me with my homework tomorrow."
Qiao Xiaoguang is thirteen years old this year and is still ignorant about love.
But Yang Xiaoxiao's conditions were too good. She was pretty, had good grades, and most importantly, had such a strong background.
In later times, Yang Xiaoxiao would be a typical white, rich and beautiful woman, so how could Qiao Xiaoguang not be moved?
