“Qiao Lian, since you’re back in Suzhou, why haven’t you come home to visit us? At the time, after your parents’ misfortune, you stayed with us for some time. You—”
Qiao Lian sighed and said, “Look, I really do not remember you two. Erm… I have to go to work.”
At these words, she walked around them, intending to leave.
Her uncle was her relative, but she had decided that she was going to ignore them for the rest of her life.
She didn’t wish to take revenge, because life shouldn’t be about living with hatred and punishing oneself.
But unexpectedly, just as she had started to leave, Qiao Yiyi walked out of the office building. When she saw them, she approached them in a hurry immediately. Narrowing her eyes, she held Qiao Lian’s hand and slowly said, “Qiao Lian, my parents are here. Did you see them?”
Qiao Lian frowned and looked at her hand.
Surely, Qiao Yiyi wasn’t planning to harm her child in the public, in broad daylight?
Qiao Lian eyed her guardedly.
However, Qiao Yiyi brushed past Qiao Lian and walked up to Qiao Zhigang, saying, “Dad, Mom, why are the both of you here?”
Qiao Zhigang sighed and said, “You’re feeling unwell, so you shouldn’t be eating as you please. Your mother and I cooked a few dishes and we’re here to deliver it to you.”
Qiao Yiyi sighed at once. “That’s true. Whenever I see the food outside, I don’t feel like eating. I’ll feel nauseous and want to throw up.”
“If you get strong reactions, then it’s clearly a baby boy!”
Qiao Lian halted. She spun around, looked at Qiao Yiyi and stared at her belly in disbelief.
Qiao Yiyi… was pregnant?
So were they going through all the trouble just to have her know that Qiao Yiyi was pregnant?
Her pupils shrank back as she saw Qiao Yiyi turn around to give her a knowing smile.
It became clear that all of this had certainly been to tell her that she, Qiao Yiyi, was pregnant with Lu Nanze’s child. In other words, a message to Qiao Lian to leave.
What a joke.
Qiao Yiyi had been with Lu Nanze for so many years, it wasn’t a surprise that she was finally pregnant now.
She turned and walked back into the office.
After she entered the office building, Qiao Yiyi glanced back at her and asked her mother, “Mom, do you think she got the hint?”
Her mother replied, “She should have gotten the hint. After all, didn’t you say that she’s pregnant too?”
Qiao Yiyi nodded.
Dad Qiao stood by the side, looking at Qiao Lian as she walked back into the office building. For some strange reason, he felt that this niece, who he had trouble keeping under control years ago, had become even more impossible to control now.
Would she really leave, even if she knew that Qiao Yiyi was carrying Lu Nanze’s child?
Qiao Zhigang frowned.
–
There was not much work to do in the afternoon.
Qiao Lian did a short livestream and received a call from Prince out of the blue. “Hey, Love Chuan, when will you be coming to the club to join us for training?”
Qiao Lian: …
This Prince, he was becoming addicted to lying.
She grimaced and was about to speak when Prince continued, “I hear that you’ve gone to the headquarters to work. That’s great. How about everyone in our team club goes to the headquarters to work too, and join you? Would that be good enough?”
Qiao Lian paled at once when she heard these words. She tried to get more information, “Do you mean that PC Team is part of the Lu family business?”
Prince said as a matter of course, “That’s right, didn’t you already know? The boss of PC Team is Mr. Lu! The national finals in Shanghai are just around the corner. You’d better come and train with us when you have some time.”
