Qiao Yu was originally thinking about what Zhao Shing said about Sheng Anhe.
She ca here to find Qiao Yuxian, apologized on behalf of her daughter, and then asked Qiao Yuxian to speak to Gu Yanjing on her behalf.
Listening to it like this, it sounds like her daughter did sothing to Qiao Yuxian.
And that sothing, thinking negatively, is related to the forbidden drugs associated with Sheng Anhe.
Qiao Yu didn’t dare think negatively.
After all, that’s Qiao Yuxian’s biological mother, and Sheng Anhe is her sister...
As he was contemplating these matters, Zhao Shing’s words, "You are his wife," left him bewildered.
Thousands of thoughts in his mind instantly went blank.
Then they were filled with questions.
Wife?
Whose wife?
What kind of wife?!
Qiao Yu and Chen Hui both widened their eyes, looking at Qiao Yuxian.
Qiao Yuxian’s expression didn’t change at all, appearing sowhat obedient, yet kind, seeming quite amiable, her voice gentle and smooth: "Although we are married, Gu Yanjing has always been firm about doing things, on matters like these, I fear my persuasion won’t work."
Married?
Who got married?
You guys?
Who are you?
Qiao Yu couldn’t hear anything else.
Qiao Yuxian’s words were polite, but each one was a refusal.
"But what you say, he will definitely listen to," Zhao Shing continued.
"Even what I say, he doesn’t necessarily listen to," Qiao Yuxian lowered her gaze and whispered, "If I’m wrong, he will argue with ."
Chen Hui listened to her words and, seeing Qiao Yu’s lack of reaction, tugged at Qiao Yu’s clothing.
Qiao Yu returned to his senses.
Zhao Shing continued, "Yu Xian..."
"Yu Xian," Qiao Yu interrupted Zhao Shing, saying, "Take your younger siblings upstairs, we adults have things to talk about."
Qiao Yuxian looked towards Qiao Yu and Chen Hui.
Chen Hui gestured with her eyes for her to go upstairs.
"Okay," Qiao Yuxian obediently responded, stood up, and said, "Then I’ll go upstairs first."
After speaking, she led Qiao Lech and Qiao Zhiang upstairs.
Zhao Shing originally wanted to stop her, but Qiao Yuxian spoke to Qiao Zhiang, blocking her words.
After Qiao Yuxian left the living room, her obedient and gentle expression disappeared, becoming sowhat blank and numb; upon closer inspection, her eyes betrayed sadness and pain.
"Sister." Qiao Zhiang looked up and whispered to her.
Qiao Lech also looked at her.
Qiao Yuxian lowered her head, smiled at him, held his hand, and said, "Co on, let’s go upstairs."
The siblings headed upstairs.
The living room was left with Qiao Yu and the other two.
Zhao Shing’s previously pitiful and sowhat pleading expression was replaced by a stern and forceful look, though she still appeared tired.
The three were silent at first, then Qiao Yu spoke: "What has your daughter done?"
Zhao Shing rubbed her temples and didn’t speak.
Qiao Yu asked again: "Don’t tell your daughter’s forbidden drugs were intended for Yu Xian."
Zhao Shing took a gentle breath, not intending to deny or hide.
After all, they would ask Qiao Yuxian. They would eventually learn the truth.
If she argues now and doesn’t admit it, it will be even harder to handle in the future.
"I’ve already scolded her; she knows she’s wrong." Zhao Shing said.
Once she admitted it, Chen Hui and Qiao Yu were silent for a mont, filled with shock.
They couldn’t imagine such a thing happening.
Although they didn’t know what the drug was, it doesn’t matter what it was, if used on a person, this person might...
"When did it happen?" Chen Hui asked, her voice shaking.
"Xi i’s celebration," Zhao Shing replied.
Chen Hui clenched her fingers, her lips trembling, wanting to speak, but her throat choked up, unable to utter a word.
"You, you scolded her," Qiao Yu’s breath also trembled, "Then what are you doing here now?"
"She was taken away. I really couldn’t do anything." Zhao Shing said, "The international police over there..."
"Shouldn’t she be caught for doing such things?" Qiao Yu spoke to her, his tone never heavy before, now interrupted her several tis, "She is a daughter, isn’t Yu Xian too? Just because Yu Xian didn’t grow up by your side, does that an she’s not your daughter? Haven’t you thought about the harm these things have caused Yu Xian?"
"I’ve already scolded her. What more do you want? Do you want her to die?" Zhao Shing softly retorted.
"What about Yu Xian? Have you cared for her? Comforted her?" From the questions Qiao Yuxian was throwing out one by one just now, it was clear to Qiao Yu. Qiao Yuxian knew Zhao Shing was aware, but Zhao Shing hadn’t cared for her these days, so she kept pressing her with questions, "Yu Xian just said she spoke wrongly, Gu Yanjing would still argue with her. Do you still want Yu Xian to seek out Gu Yanjing, have you thought about her life?"
"So much ti has passed, have you cared for Yu Xian? She is the one who got hurt. You didn’t even ask when you walked in." Qiao Yu didn’t dare to speak loudly, but his tone was cold and sharp, "If she hadn’t dodged and got hard, what would happen to her now? Have you thought about it? You are still here pleading for soone who hurt her. Zhao Shing, you can hate , dislike , despise . Yu Xian is not born by you and soone you loved, and it’s okay if you don’t like her. But even if you don’t like her, don’t harm her."
Chen Hui sat beside Qiao Yu, with her gaze lowered.
Zhao Shing couldn’t say a word in response to Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yuxian listened quietly to their conversation at the corner of the stairs.
She had asked Qiao Lech and Qiao Zhiang to return to their rooms, staying outside to listen.
Zhao Shing didn’t say anything after, and there was another silence. She said, "I’m going back first."
Chen Hui remained sitting on the couch, unmoved.
Qiao Yu still escorted Zhao Shing out.
When he returned to the living room, he saw Chen Hui wiping her tears.
Qiao Yu squatted in front of her, took a tissue and handed it to her: "Don’t cry. The kids might co down soon."
Chen Hui pressed the tissue to her eyes, silently sobbing.
Qiao Yu slightly stood up, hugged her, and gently patted her head.
Qiao Yuxian couldn’t hear any sound, slowly walking downstairs, sneakily peering into the living room.
Chen Hui buried herself in Qiao Yu’s shoulder, after a while, said: "How dare she co."
"Being taken away by the international police, it is indeed tricky." Qiao Yu said, "Truly helpless now, right."
"If so, why co back to disturb Yu Xian’s life?" Chen Hui said, "Why would her daughter treat Yu Xian like this?"
Qiao Yu didn’t reply.
After a while, Chen Hui said again, "Yu Xian’s life is too hard."
Qiao Yu sighed: "I bear a large part of the responsibility."
Qiao Yuxian listened to their conversation, taking a light breath, sowhat distracted.
When she regained her senses, Qiao Yu and Chen Hui happened to be looking at her.
Qiao Yuxian clinging to the pillar with both hands, peeked out, and as they looked over, her heart skipped a beat.
Qiao Yu and Chen Hui were startled when they saw her, both quickly separated.
Qiao Yu imdiately stood by the couch, instantly serious, standing upright, and coughed lightly.
Chen Hui randomly wiped the tears from her face and showed a smile.
Qiao Yuxian seeing their actions, also smiled and said: "Hehe, I, I was just looking. You guys continue, continue. No rush, no rush. I’m going up now."
"Yu Xian." Chen Hui called her once.
Qiao Yuxian stopped and looked at her.
"There’s one more dish in the kitchen that hasn’t been cooked, can you wash the vegetables for ?" Chen Hui sniffled and said.
"Okay."
Qiao Yuxian went into the kitchen with her.
The vegetables had long been washed, waiting to be cut.
Chen Hui didn’t let Qiao Yuxian do any work. Holding the knife, she cut the vegetables. Qiao Yuxian stood by her, knowing that Chen Hui didn’t call her over to work; she had sothing to say to her.
After a while, Chen Hui with her head down, cutting vegetables, said: "Yu Xian, being kind doesn’t an being soft-hearted. If they’ve done wrong, they should be punished, don’t pity them."
Qiao Yuxian looked at her, paused, and said: "Auntie, I know. I said those things on purpose. She...gave birth to ."
She finished, paused for a while, and said softly: "There are many things, many words, that are inconvenient for to do, inconvenient for to say. But there’s still Gu Yanjing, he will help ."
Just like when she told Zhao Shing she forgave Sheng Anhe.
But Gu Yanjing would have no hesitation in dealing with her.
"Gu Yanjing really argues with you?" Chen Hui asked again.
Qiao Yuxian smiled and said, "No."
Chen Hui nodded, continuing to cut the vegetables slowly, and said again: "Yu Xian. If there’s ever anything you keep bottled up inside that makes you uncomfortable. If you don’t mind, you can tell . Speaking out always makes the heart feel a little better."
Her words were slow, cautious, as if each word was asured carefully before she spoke.
Qiao Yuxian stood next to her, listening, watching her.
Suddenly she felt that the mother she imagined in her childhood looked just like Chen Hui.
"Okay." Qiao Yuxian said with a smile.
Chen Hui sighed in relief, finally looked at her, smiled and said: "Go outside, it’s too smoky in here."
"It’s okay." Qiao Yuxian said, "I can just learn a bit by the way."
