Afterwards, Mrs Qin brought over a gift box from the corner and handed it to Qin Youjiao.
“Mom got her friend to buy this from overseas. Your grandpa will definitely like this. When the time comes, you tell Grandpa that you bought this, do you understand?”
Hearing this, a dark glint flashed in Qin Youjiao’s eyes before she looked up and asked again, “Mom, is it very expensive?”
“It’s about two million dollars.”
Mrs Qin caressed Qin Youjiao’s head adoringly, the love impossible to hide in her voice. “Jiaojiao, don’t worry. With Mom around, I will definitely make Grandpa pay attention to you. Besides, my daughter is so outstanding. How can anyone bear to ignore you?”
“Thank you, Mom!”
Qin Youjiao was extremely touched as she hugged Mrs Qin agitatedly. However, she hid the gloating resentment in her eyes.
So what if Pei Yunge was the Qin family’s biological daughter? In the end, everything would still be hers.
At this thought, Qin Youjiao’s mood improved drastically.
On the other hand, because of Qin Youjiao’s piano recital tour, Mrs Qin had been the envy of several wives of rich families. They praised her whenever they met her and it made her look more radiant and happy.
She hid the darkness in her eyes.
No matter what, she must keep Jiaojiao.
If not, when people found out that Pei Yunge was her biological daughter in the future, the latter would only embarrass her.
…
Not too long later, Mr Qin and Qin Lang stood at the door and helped support a thin old man on both sides.
Seeing this, Mrs Qin immediately pulled on Qin Youjiao’s hand and went to welcome them with a smile. “Father, you’re finally back.”
After Old Master Qin heard her, he merely glanced at her before his eyes landed on Qin Youjiao again. He froze for a moment before his expression darkened.
“Where’s my Ge’er?!”
At this moment, Mrs Qin had yet to even have Qin Youjiao greet Old Master Qin, yet they were already hearing the Old Master’s questioning. Her expression turned ugly immediately.
After calming herself down, Mrs Qin smiled as she said, “She probably hasn’t arrived yet…”
Her tone changed as she said with a hidden agenda, “However, Jiaojiao and her are in the same school. Jiaojiao arrived really early, so I don’t know what she’s so busy with.”
Hearing this, Qin Lang’s expression darkened as well.
Was she saying that Ge’er was unfilial in front of Grandpa?
Just as Qin Lang was about to speak, he heard Old Master Qin say angrily, “You don’t know what your daughter is busy with and you dare say it?! What if Ge’er got into trouble on her way here, what do we do then?!”
Qin Lang was speechless.
This really didn’t need his help at all.
Grandpa was still extremely biased, just like in the past.
Indeed, faced with Old Master Qin’s tirade and open favoritism, Mrs Qin’s expression darkened like the underside of a burnt pot. Qin Youjiao, who was beside her, was stiff from head to toe. She felt as if she didn’t belong to the Qin family…
“That child doesn’t need my concern. I didn’t take care of her in the past either.”
Mrs Qin forced a smile onto her face. “Father, Jiaojiao worked really hard recently. Her results are the overall second place and she even got the first prize in a competition. Soon, there will be a piー”
“Ah Lang, go and call Ge’er quick! Ask Ge’er if something has happened to her.”
Old Master Qin turned his head and said worriedly to Qin Lang, “If she did get bullied, she’ll definitely keep quiet about it! This child always treats herself as an orphan!”
Instantly, the atmosphere fell silent.
Mr Qin and Mrs Qin’s expressions looked even worse as they couldn’t even say anything.
Apart from Old Master Qin, no one dared to say this sort of truth right out.
Qin Lang held in his laughter as he hurriedly nodded and called Pei Yunge right in front of Mr Qin, Mrs Qin and Qin Youjiao.
However, a voice came in from the door right at this moment.
“I came late, sorry.”
