Priceless Baby's Super Daddy - Chapter 2514
Chapter 2514 Love Comes Like The Southern Breeze (32)
Huo Yunshen had come to visit Qiao Ruoxi’s parents on behalf of the president, but since Qiao Ruoxi insisted on going back by herself, he had no choice but to follow her instructions.
“Okay then. Miss Qiao, please go back first. I’ll help you send the things to the door.”
Huo Yunshen opened the trunk, and it was filled with all kinds of expensive gifts.
Even though the president did not come, the gifts that sent by the Feng family were abundant.
“No need. I’ll take these two items that are lighter. Take the rest back!”
Qiao Ruoxi took out two gift boxes and planned to take them back to patronize her aunt, Jiang Yan.
Even if they gave her mother gifts, her mother would never receive them. With that woman, Jiang Yan, around, all the good things would be taken away.
Qiao Ruoxi took the gifts, adjusted her cotton jacket, and left.
When she returned to her uncle’s house and walked into the Su residence, she saw the scene in front of her. She felt that the world was too inhumane.
In the past few days, the air had been freezing and the temperature was so low that it could almost freeze someone’s nose. The moment Qiao Ruoxi entered the Su family’s courtyard, she saw her mother, Su Hui, sitting by the well under the date tree in the courtyard, washing her clothes non-stop.
Su Hui’s hands were soaked in cold water. The back of her hands were red from the cold, and her palms were white from the soaking.
After washing her hands for a while, she had to stop and take deep breaths. Her breaths were mixed with heartbreaking coughs.
Qiao Ruoxi’s heart was in so much pain that she could not breathe. Her mother had a chronic bronchial asthma problem and had been taking medication for a long time. The doctor said that she could not be tired or cold.
“Mom…”
Qiao Ruoxi rushed in and stood in front of her mother.
When Su Hui heard her voice, she raised her head and saw that her daughter was back. Her dark eyes immediately glistened with joy.
She made a hand gesture, meaning: [Little Xi, you’re back.]
She raised her hand and pointed at the door of the main room, then made a series of hand gestures: (Hurry! Go inside. It’s cold outside. Don’t freeze.]
Qiao Ruoxi’s mother was a mute. She could listen and understand the words of other people, but she could not speak. She could only sign to communicate.
Qiao Ruoxi threw the gift box in her hand away and went to pull her mother up. “Mom, hurry up and get up. The doctor said you can’t be tired or get cold. Who told you to wash clothes outside in the cold weather? Look at how cold your hands are.”
Qiao Ruoxi held her mother’s cold hands, her heart aching so much that she teared up.
Just then, her aunt, Jiang Yan, came out from the hall and said, “I asked her to wash it. What’s wrong?”
Qiao Ruoxi saw that Jiang Yan was wearing a new down jacket and holding a thermos flask in her arms. She was furious.
“Auntie, you clearly know that my mother is in poor health. Why did you let her do such a laborious task? The weather is so cold. What if she catches a cold?”
SO
“Isn’t it just washing a few clothes? How could she catch a cold from that? The Su family doesn’t provide for idle people. I serve her with food everyday, not to let her sit around.”
‘What does she mean sit around?’
‘We’re living like slaves in this family.’
Qiao Ruoxi was furious.
She snapped, “Have you forgotten how much you used to curry favor with my mother when the Qiao family was at its pinnacle? My mother sent money to the Su family very frequently, didn’t she? Now that the Qiao family has fallen, you’re ordering her around like she’s a bull? No matter what, she’s still the daughter of my grandmother. Uncle didn’t even say anything. What right do you have to abuse her?” “Hmph, you keep mentioning the Qiao family. If the Qiao family is good, why don’t you go back? Why are you still staying at our house? If you think the Su family is not treating you well enough, get lost!”
Qiao Ruoxi was speechless.
