My Identities Were All Exposed After I Was Pampered by Everyone at My Grandfather’s House! - Chapter 223
223 Conspiracy
The next day, Old Master Qiao woke up in the morning and had breakfast with everyone.
Other than Qiao Yi’s family who had left, everyone was eating as usual, but they all looked tired.
Qiao Ying was so stressed out about what happened yesterday that she couldn’t eat.
She sat in front of her plate, hands trembling. She was unable to pick up any food.
!!
When Qiao Li saw Qiao Ying like this, he was so angry that he slapped away Qiao Ying’s chopsticks. “Don’t eat if you can’t. You’re such a good-for-nothing.”
After Qiao Ying was scolded by her father, she trembled even more violently. Her entire body was on the verge of collapse, and she was close to tears.
“Alright, Qiao Li. Xiao Ying just got a shock yesterday. Don’t scare her like this.” Qiao Ren said.
Qiao Ying looked at Qiao Ren with gratitude.
“Big brother, you should take care of your own children first. I know my kid.” Qiao Li snorted.
The old master put down his chopsticks with a slam.
Qiao Yue quickly reached out to support the old master and stroked his back. “Grandpa, don’t be angry. The doctor said that you can’t be angry.”
Old Master Qiao reached out and patted Qiao Yue, acknowledging what she said.
“After what happened yesterday, you guys should restrain yourselves. I can’t watch any dirty nonsense now.”
Qiao Li knew that Old Master Qiao was recuperating, so he didn’t say anything more and lowered his head in silence.
“I hope all of you remember that the Qiao family doesn’t rear livestock. If you insist on being a livestock, then get out of the Qiao family like your second brother!”
Qiao Li had no stable foundation, and he still needed protection from the Qiao family, so he shut his mouth and didn’t speak anymore.
Qiao Ying seemed to have calmed down a little. She grabbed her chopsticks shakily and began to eat.
The dining table fell silent again.
Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Ying with a little heartache.
She had such a serious anxiety disorder that she was showing physical symptoms, yet Qiao Li was not willing to let her see a doctor.
It seemed that the incident that triggered her anxiety had not been resolved. Qiao Yue frowned. It’s not good if this continued. She must find someone to treat Qiao Ying.
After breakfast, Qiao Yue packed up quickly and got into the car.
Qiao Ying and Qiao Yu also got into the car as usual, but Qiao Xin didn’t show.
After waiting for a few minutes, Qiao Xin’s servant finally came over to tell them that Qiao Xin wasn’t going to school today.
Qiao Yue frowned. Although Qiao Xin wasn’t a very good student, she wasn’t the type who would skip school altogether.
Besides, the school’s anniversary party was coming up. Wasn’t Qiao Xin anxious to practice her performance?
Qiao Xin was practicing indeed, but at home.
She would be signing a formal contract with AT in December. Before that, AT had given her a social account to post some of her singing videos to gain some fans in C-Country.
Many of these fans were girls who liked to sing and dance like Qiao Xin. As long as they were willing, AT would give them a chance to audition.
Qiao Li placed great importance on this matter.
It looked like Qiao Xin was signing a contract with AT, but behind the scenes, there was also a deal between him and Andy.
When Andy visited C-Country a few days ago, Qiao Li had specially found someone to introduce him to Andy.
After he got to know Andy, he found out that the tycoon, Trand, was actually Andy’s brother.
Qiao Li usually didn’t watch the news, so he didn’t know who Trand was, and that he had been arrested. He was still dreaming about his daughter cozying up with these two big shots.
After all, Qiao Li didn’t have much to offer, except his two daughters.
Qiao Xin looked tough on the outside but was actually weak on the inside, and Qiao Ying was very timid.
Qiao Li didn’t think that his two daughters could make it big in the business world, so the best way was to marry them into rich families. Then, he could rely on the in-laws to stand his ground in the Qiao family.
Qiao Li had started his search for his daughters’ suitors a few years ago. Now that he had met Andy, he felt that he was a good candidate.
After all, Andy had assets and political power abroad. Once Qiao Xin married into such a rich family, he would live the rest of his life in luxury.
Qiao Xin sat in the practice room and used an autotune to correct her “intoxicating” singing. She had no idea that in her father’s eyes, her dream of becoming a superstar was just a laughable tool.
Qiao Li looked at Qiao Xin with an encouraging smile.
He must make good use of this daughter and get himself a long-term meal ticket. This way, he would not have to be at the mercy of others in the Qiao family!
