Chapter 228: Chapter 228 He Missed Her Chapter 228: Chapter 228 He Missed Her “Alright, alright, I’ll go right now,” Qiao Zhiyuan cheerfully lifted his leg and walked away.
“Then I’ll go to the team office to make a phone call.”
When he reached the team office, Qiao Zhiyuan opened the door to the office where the telephone was located, knowing his niece was calling He Xiuyu and not wanting others to disturb her, he prepared to close the door.
However, Qiao Qingyu instructed Qiao Zhiyuan, “Uncle, co to my house tonight.”
Qiao Zhiyuan nodded in agreent, then closed the door.
Qiao Qingyu returned from the riverbank around midnight, so she didn’t call He Xiuyu. He might be in his office at that ti, but he could also be in the workshop. She decided to try her luck.
As it happened, Qiao Qingyu’s luck was good, and indeed, He Xiuyu answered the phone. Qiao Qingyu first told him about her mother’s turn from danger to safety, to which He Xiuyu on the other end of the line expressed surprise, involuntarily asking, “Did she suddenly get better?”
“Mhm, she should have suddenly gotten better, I’ll explain the details when I get back.”
He Xiuyu didn’t continue to inquire.
He spoke about the matter of the plastic films. “Nangang City has already shipped them, and they should arrive at the county in two days.”
“Alright, then I’ll stay here for a few more days and arrange the matters concerning the greenhouse, so I won’t have to rush back to Qiao Family Team during harvest ti.”
He Xiuyu knew he had to wait a few more days for Qiao Qingyu to return and felt a bit disheartened. Yet thinking of the ti they would spend together in Xichuan upon her return, his spirits lifted.
He really wanted to ask if Qiao Qingyu missed him because he missed her.
In the evening, Qiao Zhiyuan strolled to Qiao Qingyu’s house with his hands clasped behind his back.
Qiao Qingyu originally wanted to wait before speaking, but given the current situation, it was necessary to let the family know.
Qiao Qingyu didn’t beat around the bush; Qiao Zhicai, Han Xianglan, Qiao Genbao, along with Uncle Qiao Zhiyuan and herself, all sat together in the west room.
Niu Guili had taken the two children over to soone else’s house.
It wasn’t that she wasn’t told, but this matter shouldn’t be heard by the children; her elder brother could explain it to her in due ti.
Qiao Qingyu straightforwardly told the people seated cross-legged on the kang about everything involving Chairman Wu of Wulong Group searching for his lost biological daughter, including the events that had occurred in the past and recently.
The individuals stared unblinkingly at Qiao Qingyu from the mont they started hearing the story, almost breathless until Qiao Qingyu finished speaking.
“Now, I still don’t know for sure if my mom is Wu Xiujie’s daughter, but there are definitely so issues at my second aunt’s place. My mom has been wearing that knotted bracelet ever since I can rember, it might have been taken by that old man Wu Xiujie, so this matter needs to be cleared up by dad and Uncle…”
“Stop, stop, let catch my breath, let catch my breath…”
Qiao Zhicai’s face turned pale; he was nowhere near ecstatic about the potential revelation of his wife being the daughter of a tycoon.
He was terrified.
He had been comfortably seated cross-legged on the kang, but then he got up, put on his shoes, and started pacing back and forth in the room.
Uncle Qiao too was filled with uncertainty, Han Xianglan, on the other hand, was completely unfazed.
Unexpectedly, she was the most composed one.
“I didn’t want to tell you originally, but now that soone has set their sights on Qiao Family Team, this matter isn’t trivial. Whether it’s true or not, it’s better to be prepared,” said Qiao Qingyu as she continued.
Qiao Genbao was simple and honest, but he wasn’t foolish, so he instinctively felt that this might not be a good thing, and it could even be a disaster. “We better not acknowledge this kinship, whether it’s true or not, it can easily cause trouble.”
Han Xianglan’s brows furrowed, although what Qiao Genbao said was true, it wasn’t pleasant to the ears.
Qiao Qingyu reached out and patted Han Xianglan, “Mom, what my elder brother ans is, whether or not you are the daughter of so rich man, you will always be our mom, my dad’s wife, and Feifei and Doudou’s grandma…”
It was then that Qiao Genbao realized, his face flushing as he explained, “Mom, I didn’t an that, don’t misunderstand.”
The originally serious atmosphere suddenly eased.
Qiao Zhiyuan looked at his family, “If other families encountered this kind of thing, they would be praying to the gods, hoping it’s true, but look at you all, each of you acting as if it’s a bother.”
Then he looked at his brother, “Don’t keep pacing back and forth, you’re making my eyes whirl. This matter should only be known among us, don’t talk about it with anyone else, just keep it in mind. I have to go back now and get Shengbao to sneak into Wang i’s mother’s village to find out if sothing’s going on there.”
Shengbao’s classmate lived in the village of Wang i’s mother.
Holding a tobacco pipe and with his hands behind his back, Qiao Zhiyuan left, and at that mont, Qiao Zhicai also sat on the edge of the kang, looking at Han Xianglan, “My heart keeps thumping, imagine if you really have a rich dad, he definitely won’t approve of , and might even force you to leave .”
Han Xianglan glanced at him, “Didn’t you hear what Qingyu just said? We don’t even know if it’s true or not, why are you thinking so far ahead?”
“Dad, you guys are already grandparents. Even if my mom really is Chairman Wu’s biological daughter, he can’t possibly force her to leave you.”
Then Qiao Qingyu said, “Besides, Mr. Wu Xiucai isn’t even sure when he will return from the US.”
Han Xianglan’s brows were also furrowed; although she had just denied being shocked, that was a lie. She had been ntally prepared for a long ti, as she had always fantasized about who her biological parents were from a young age…
Old Lady He had even told her that the two people who sold her obviously looked like rural farrs and didn’t resemble her at all.
Even if those two people loved their daughter and didn’t want her to suffer, the rural environnt wouldn’t allow her delicate hands and skin to be so fair and tender, as if she was a young lady from a wealthy family.
If they really loved this daughter, why would they sell her?
And they even hastily took the silver coins and ran away.
That woman, purported to be her biological mother, hadn’t even glanced at her.
At the ti, Han Xianglan had wondered if there really were such heartless parents in the world, but after hearing more and seeing more, she realized those two might not be.
She hadn’t expected her daughter to bring up such news today.
No wonder she had written her a letter a while ago, telling a story about wealthy and poor families swapping children.
She couldn’t help but glance at Qiao Qingyu, this girl, probably afraid she would wildly speculate, hadn’t dared to tell her the truth.
Han Xianglan, on the contrary, appeared to be the most relieved and relaxed among them.
Qiao Qingyu also sighed in relief.
She hadn’t expected that sothing she considered so serious would be t with such different reactions from everyone.
Qiao Qingyu was very satisfied with the outco, much better than everyone being uneasy.
…
These days, Sun Dazhang was particularly motivated, as he was soon going to be transferred to the commune to be in charge of promoting and planting corn.
His transfer to the commune was thanks to Qiao Qingyu!
