The old lady smiled at Gu Qingyao ingratiatingly.
“This... darling! I didn’t an to. I thought your father bullied your mother. I was so angry! Your mother is the apple of my eye! Do you know how I felt when I suddenly discovered that she was about to give birth? I almost... wanted to kill your father!”
Gu Qingyao: “...”
“I’ve regretted it all these years! I was desperately sorry when I saw how heartbroken your mother was, but I could not go back to look for you. I was also worried that your mother would never leave the past behind, so... I kept the truth from her.
“Fortunately, you were fine, and you’re all grown up now. That’s wonderful. I promise I will make it up to you, all right?”
The old woman smiled at her pleadingly. She even rembered to tug at the old man by her side.
Old Master Qiao suddenly snapped out of his trance. An identical pleading smile appeared on his face. “Right, right, right! It was all our fault. We were mistaken. We will make it up to you. You can do whatever you like. Darling! Can you address as Grandfather?”
Gu Qingyao: “...”
Before she entered the Qiao ho, she thought that her grandparents would be very difficult and would dislike her intensely!
But after a short while.
They were both trying to ingratiate themselves with her. The contrast was too great. She could not accept it!
...
Qiao Yuying had been very busy with work lately and was exhausted. Coupled with the recent shock, she slept without waking up.
anwhile, the two old folks inford the entire family. Gu Qingyao’s uncles were working overseas, but they were hurrying back. Her aunts remained overseas.
Her four older cousins were the first to return. They were in the country, and when they heard the news, they imdiately ca ho.
At the mont, Gu Qingyao was sitting on the sofa, looking at her four extrely handso cousins. Then there were her kindly-looking grandparents, still with pleading expressions on their faces. When she thought of her uncles hurrying ho at the mont, she felt... deep concern for her father.
Once the misunderstanding had been cleared up, she realized that the Qiao family was actually a very close-knit one. Her uncles were all very capable, and they each managed their own businesses. Her aunts also had their own careers. Her older cousins were all outstanding and had their own life plans.
None of them were interested in fighting over the family fortune.
Scions of illustrious families usually fought viciously over their inheritance, but such a thing did not exist in the Qiao family. Instead, the two old folks were worried that there was no one to take over the family business.
Grandmother was a physician and her businesses were all dically related. Later on, she married Grandfather, and none of her children were interested in this line of work. This infuriated her.
She had no choice but to set her hopes on her grandchildren.
As one grandson after another was born, the old lady used all ways and ans to demonstrate the glories of Chinese dicine to them, but these brats had all inherited their fathers’ business sense. They were all excellent businessn, but their heads ached at the sight of a dical book.
They fled in fright the mont they heard that the two old folks wanted them to take over the family business.
The old lady was heartbroken.
The Old Master felt that he had let his wife down. His genes were too powerful, so none of their children pleased his wife. At his age, he had no choice but to help his wife manage her business.
Her mother, Qiao Yuying, was their youngest daughter and the apple of their eye.
