Chapter 148

The Su Family's affairs did not affect Qiao Ying's mood at all. It even saved her the trouble of going to court to sever the mother-daughter relationship with Li Lilian.

She picked up the wine on the table.

This wine was just brought over by Qin Hanyue. He said it was a gift from his business partner and he didn't drink himself, so he brought it over to lend flowers to offer Buddha.

Qiao Ying poured a glass for Qiao Yi: "Have some?"

Qiao Yi just looked at her.

Was she being a little too cold-blooded right now? Qiao Ying realized this and toned down her temper a bit to accommodate Qiao Yi's feelings.

"Whether it's the Qiao family or the Su family, I only have you as my brother." Qiao Ying told him.

Qiao Yi still didn't say anything, but it was clear that he was deeply moved by Qiao Ying's words.

Knowing that he couldn't accept it for the time being, Qiao Ying gave him time and skipped the topic to ask him, "Have you eaten?"

Qiao Yi shook his head slightly.

"Let me take a look."

Qiao Ying wasn't sure if there was anything to eat at home.

On the day she moved in here, Qin Hanyue had already arranged two servants for her, one to clean and one to cook for her on weekends.

They would leave after finishing their work and not disturb her life.

Watching Qiao Ying go into the kitchen, Qiao Yi was silent for a moment by himself.

Then he stood up, "I'll go back to school first. Please let Mr. Qin know."

After speaking, he walked out.

Qin Hanyue stood up, "Let me see you off."

Qiao Yi: "No need."

Qiao Yi walked very fast. That foot that was still a little lame during treatment was now even more obvious.

He didn't know how Qiao Yi had run all the way here earlier.

Qin Hanyue withdrew his gaze. He was about to sit down again when he saw a bank card on the sofa where Qiao Yi had just sat.

He bent over to pick it up.

At this time, Qiao Ying came out, "Where is he?"

There was nothing to eat at home. She was going to take him out to eat.

Qin Hanyue put the card in his palm, "He went back to school first. I'll go see him off." After speaking, he went out.

"Qiao Yi?" Qin Hanyue caught up with Qiao Yi.

He saw Qiao Yi stop and turn his back to him. He quickly raised his hand, and only then turned around to face him.

"You left something on the sofa." Qin Hanyue gave him the card.

He knew that Qiao Yi had left the card on the sofa, and if he hadn't guessed wrong, he wanted to return it to Qiao Ying.

Qiao Yi didn't take it.

"Your sister values relationships. Compared to blood relatives she's never met, ten-odd years of feelings mean nothing."

"If you feel like you can no longer accept your sister's feelings, don't know how to deal with it, and eventually even slowly drift apart, it would hurt your sister."

After listening, Qiao Yi looked back at the villa. He instantly felt regretful and guilty.

Qin Hanyue said, "I was the one who picked up this card."

Meaning Qiao Ying didn't know about it.

Only then did Qiao Yi feel a little better.

"Your sister speaks bluntly and can't say those pretentious words or comfort people. She just made it very clear that she only has you as her brother. You can't let her down."

"I know you don't feel good right now, but as a man, you should even more understand how to maintain this relationship and take care of your sister."

"At least in my opinion, the relationship between you as siblings has not and will not be affected at all. I think your sister feels the same way."

Qiao Yi suddenly understood, "I know."

He took the card back.

Qin Hanyue patted him on the shoulder, "Go back to school for class. Remember to have dinner."

Qiao Yi looked at Qin Hanyue, then nodded.

Qiao Ying leaned lazily against the front door, reading the message Qiao Yi had just sent: 【Sis, I'm going back to school first. Still have some test papers to do】

She put away her phone and looked at Qin Hanyue walking back.

Qiao Ying: "What were you talking to my brother about?"

Qin Hanyue: "Guy talk."

"I didn't expect Mr. Qin to understand psychological counseling as well."

Qin Hanyue followed up: "Unfortunately, Miss Qiao would never need my services in that area. But I'm also glad you don't need it."

Qiao Ying hooked the corner of her mouth and turned to go inside.

The two sat back down on the sofa.

Qin Hanyue said, "You said earlier that you came back to Yuncheng today because of your adoptive parents' divorce?"

Qiao Ying: "Yeah."

So the family she had lived with for over a decade had fallen apart. She didn't want to recognize her birth parents' family either. Other than an emotionally attached brother, she was alone now.

Qin Hanyue looked at the indifferent Qiao Ying with heartache.

She valued relationships deeply and was mentally strong, yet felt no attachment to the Qiao family she had lived with for over ten years. One could imagine what kind of life she must have had under her adoptive parents before she could protect herself.

Qin Hanyue had seen her adoptive mother. No words could describe that mean woman.

He gently asked, "Would you want to look for your mother?"

Qiao Ying: "The Su Family will look for her."

The Su Family owed An Ying and Su Yu. It was up to them to look.

Qin Hanyue nodded slightly. He suddenly lamented, "Although your parents' love did not end well, their unwavering loyalty and caring for each other makes me quite envious."

It was a pity for Qiao Ying's father.

Thinking of such an aspiring, iron-boned good man being forced to end his life in such a weak and pitiful way, it was really pathetic and lamentable.

Having felt like she just listened to a whole basin of dog blood the entire time, as soon as Qiao Ying opened her mouth, the words came out, "What's there to envy, he didn't have to die at all."

Now that the person was gone, what good was love anymore?

Qin Hanyue: "......"

After Qiao Ying finished speaking, Qin Hanyue didn't say anything again for a long time.

She had finished a whole glass of wine and turned to look at him. Seeing that he was staring at her, she asked, "Is Mr. Qin still admiring it?"

After speaking, she belatedly realized her words were not quite appropriate,

Because Qin Hanyue was looking at her, then the object of his admiration was...

Qin Hanyue: "I was just thinking that although Miss Qiao is younger than the Su family's eldest daughter, if addressing by seniority, you are the daughter of Su family's eldest son. You should be the 'eldest daughter' of the Su family."

He deliberately stressed the words "eldest daughter", as if to remind her of something. There was a slight regret in his tone.

But thinking that Qiao Ying didn't even recognize this Su Family, he let it go.

Qiao Ying: "What is Mr. Qin regretting? The Su Family has always had an eldest daughter."

Qin Hanyue: "Her, I'm not interested."

Qiao Ying apologized, "She should be quite interested in you."

Qin Hanyue: "Although it would be very rude, I still want to say that this is my misfortune."

Qiao Ying took a sip of wine. After a while, she said goodbye, "It's getting late. Does Mr. Qin plan to stay for a late-night snack?"

"The Su Family will definitely not give up recognizing you. If you're too lazy to deal with it, I'm very willing to help."

He stood up, "Then I won't disturb your rest."

In his heart he thought: Can't rush it.

Su Zhan first discussed it with his second brother.

Because the final step of DNA testing was still lacking, Su Zhan didn't dare rashly tell Old Lady Su, who was advanced in years and still had not walked out of her grief.

After Su Cheng, Su Family's second brother, learned about this, he held the only portrait of eldest brother and An Ying. He was very excited.

"I've seen this girl before at the auction and Old Zhang's birthday banquet. I've seen her." He told his younger brother Su Zhan.

"She's actually big brother's daughter. If big brother knew he still had a child in this world, he would have been so happy."

The next day was the weekend.

Qiao Ying had just gotten out of bed when the doorbell rang.

As soon as she opened the door, the two Su brothers were standing at the entrance.

Without a second thought, Qiao Ying slammed the door shut.

The two brothers nearly smashed into the door face first.

These two were lucky. If they had rung the doorbell ten minutes earlier, Qiao Ying would have had to get up and kick them both out.

After getting rejected at the door, the two waited outside the villa for an entire day without getting a chance to meet. In the end, they drooped back despondently to the Su family.

Although they didn't do a DNA test, this was already certain.

With no other options, the two brothers decided to tell the family.

They thought that with the whole family taking action, especially their wives and daughters who were female and would understand a daughter's heart better than them men, it would be good.

Most importantly, they had to let Old Lady Su meet the child and personally bring her back.

"Qiao Ying is big brother's daughter?!"

Su Qingyu looked at the woman's face in the old photo, almost identical to Qiao Ying's, and couldn't believe it.
