At this time, it was about five o'clock in the afternoon and dinner started to be made. Qiao's mother was busy in the kitchen. Although Qiao Ying'an was detained and jumped from the building, although the police announced his acquittal, the negative impact was very bad, so so far, the chemical industry

The factory's suspension has not yet been lifted, and he is still unemployed at home.

At this moment, Qiao Ying'an is sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, but his mind is obviously not on the newspaper. He has been suspended from his job for several months. The family has not saved any money because Qiao Luobing is studying in college, and now Qiao Luobing is going to the UK again.

To further their studies, getting such a good opportunity to go abroad is something they never even dare to think about, so naturally they fully support it. However, the cost of studying abroad is funded by the hospital, but you have to bear the cost of living by yourself. Going abroad is a huge expense...

Just thinking about it makes Qiao Ying'an extremely miserable. Qiao Luobing will leave next Monday and will return home tomorrow. What money will he give to his son? How can the family's only savings of tens of thousands be enough? Besides, there is still life at home, and his job

I don’t know when it will recover!

Since uncovering the old story, he has never asked for a penny from Luo Shan, and he rarely asked for it before, because his money is almost enough to support Luo Bing's college education, and he only accepts money from Luo Shan if she takes the initiative to give it to him.

Next, he will definitely not be able to accept money from Luo Shan anymore. He deeply remembers that if Luo Shan hates him, he feels ashamed of the niece he raised with his own hands...

"Old Qiao, there is no soy sauce at home. Go downstairs and buy a bottle!"

Mother Qiao's voice came from the sound of the range hood. Qiao Yingan sat still, his mind still stuck on how to collect money, and he didn't even hear anyone knocking on the door.

Mother Qiao couldn't hear the answer, so she turned off the range hood, covered the pot lid and walked out, scolding dissatisfiedly, "Old Qiao, didn't you hear? I'm calling you..."

In the middle of her words, she suddenly stopped talking and looked towards the door. Through the security door, the knocking on the door continued, and she seemed to hear a child shouting, "Grandpa and grandma..."

"Is it Tongtong?" Mother Qiao blurted out. Overjoyed, she quickly walked towards the entrance. Qiao Ying'an's consciousness finally came back when he heard the word "Tongtong". His face changed obviously, and he actually stood there.

He stood up and followed him.

The security door was finally opened, but Xiao Tongtong's little hands hurt when she slapped the door. Her princess-like aura at the beginning turned into a feeble cry, "Oh, grandma, don't you like me anymore?"

Why don't you open the door for me!"

"Tongtong!"

Mother Qiao raised her voice unexpectedly. After a moment of silence, she immediately bent over and hugged the little girl in ecstasy, and coaxed hurriedly: "Grandma is cooking, I didn't hear you. Your grandpa is old and his ears are not good."

Well, if the little princess doesn’t cry, it’s because of the grandparents, don’t cry, don’t cry…”

"Tongtong! It's really Tongtong, let grandpa see!" Qiao Ying'an said from behind Qiao's mother, her voice equally excited and joyful, and she stretched out her hands to hug the little girl.

Xiao Tongtong kept her father's trust in mind and knew that her grandma was easy to talk to and the person who was difficult to conquer was her grandpa, so as soon as her grandpa stretched out his hand, she crawled over and said angrily: "Grandpa, don't you like the little princess? I shouted.

It’s been a long time since the princess arrived and you ignored me!”

"Grandpa's precious little princess, it's all because grandpa is old and his ears are really hard to use. He neglects our little princess. How about we punish grandpa to be a big horse and let the little princess ride?" Qiao Ying'an also really dotes on the child, no matter what the bad temper is.

As soon as he meets his little granddaughter, he will run away with only a good temper and look like he is trying to please the little girl.

Xiao Tongtong immediately burst into laughter and said, "Okay, I want to ride a big horse!"

In this way, Qiao Ying'an finally made her little ancestor happy, and her grandfather and grandson entered the room directly. When Mother Qiao was about to close the door, she suddenly thought of something. She stood on the corridor and looked around, muttering in confusion, "Huh? Where is Xiaoshan?"

Why is Tongtong alone?"

"aunt."

A low voice sounded from the corner between the second and third floors. Mother Qiao was stunned and unconsciously stepped down the next step. Shao Tianchi walked out slowly, carrying a generous gift and walking up step by step. He smiled and said: "

Auntie, I took the liberty of visiting and bothering you."

"Tianchi? Why is it you? You and Tongtong...Xiaoshan? Where is Xiaoshan?" Mother Qiao was so shocked. She didn't know that Tongtong's life experience had been revealed, and her face turned pale at that moment!

Shao Tianchi replied calmly: "Xiaoshan is in the city. I brought Tongtong to meet you two. Our family now lives together."

A "family", the implication was obvious. Mother Qiao held on to the wall before she could barely stand still. She was tongue-tied, "Tianchi, you know that Tongtong is actually..."

"She is my daughter." Shao Tianchi took over the words for his mother Qiao and said with floating lips: "Auntie, thank you and Uncle Qiao for doting on my daughter in the past five years, especially Uncle Qiao, knowing that Tongtong is mine.

I was very touched that he could still treat her like this even though his flesh and blood were so small." Fu Wu Do Wu.

"Tianchi, don't say that. We...we just thought that the child was born to Xiaoshan and we couldn't bear it. But we kept it from you for five years. What we did was wrong." Mother Qiao lowered her head, feeling a little guilty.

Shao Tianchi shook his head, "Auntie is serious. I am here today not to blame you two, but to thank you."

"Oh, okay, okay..." Mother Qiao was surprised again. She paused for a moment before reacting and hurriedly greeted: "Come in quickly, Tianchi. I'm still cooking. You come in and sit down first. I have to take a look."

How's the cooking going!"

Shao Tianchi nodded, came in and closed the door. Mother Qiao quickly ran to the kitchen, shouting, "Old Qiao, Tianchi is here too, please entertain Tianchi!"

Qiao Ying'an was playing horseback riding with Xiao Tongtong on the carpet in the bedroom. He was startled and quickly put Xiao Tongtong down. He walked out a few steps and looked into Shao Tianchi's eyes. Both of them fell into silence and stood frozen in place.

Don't move.

"Dad!" Xiao Tongtong jumped up to Shao Tianchi with a bright smile on her face, "Grandpa, this is my dad, my biological dad!"

Hearing this, Qiao Ying'an was shocked and his pupils dilated in disbelief. The possibility that he had just thought of in his mind for a moment actually came true...

"Uncle Qiao, I'm sorry to bother you." Shao Tianchi spoke slowly, put the gift in his hand on the coffee table, and said with a smile: "Tongtong misses her grandparents. Her mother has something to do and can't come today, so I took it without permission.

She came to visit you two."

"You guys... what's the situation between you and Xiao Shan now? Over there with the Ji family..." Qiao Ying'an felt that he had too many questions, but suddenly he didn't know how to ask them, and his brows furrowed deeply.

Shao Tianchi nodded and answered succinctly, "Xiaoshan lives with me now. She has suffered from depression since she suffered those huge blows. She is now undergoing treatment and recovery step by step. I discovered Tongtong's life experience.

We have communicated with the Ji family and reached an agreement. Tongtong changed his name to Shao Jitong, and his registered permanent residence was moved from the Ji family to my name. Apart from the name change, Tongtong has not changed anything else. He still goes to school in Taipei and lives in the Ji family.

, I will pick her up on weekends and holidays. Shao Ji’s family, including the Qiao family, are all her relatives."

Qiao Ying'an's brows softened as he nodded frequently and said pertinently, "This is a good arrangement. It's good for Tongtong and good for the Ji family. Otherwise, the Ji family will really suffer."

"Grandpa, Dad, please sit down and talk. I'm so tired standing." Xiao Tongtong tugged at the clothes corners of the two adults, and her pink little mouth curled up, which was really cute.

Qiao Ying'an then pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down, I'll pour you a glass of boiled water. The tea at home is not good."

Shao Tianchi walked to the sofa and sat down, frowning, and suddenly said: "Can Auntie cook some dinner for me and Tongtong? We just arrived in Weidu, and we haven't had dinner yet."

"Oh, really? Okay, let me tell you." Qiao Ying'an took two glasses of water from the water dispenser and brought them over, then went to the kitchen to explain to Qiao's mother.

When Qiao Ying'an came out again, Shao Tianchi asked with a smile: "Uncle Qiao, are you busy with work after the new year? How is your family doing?"

After the truth battle, the relationship between Shao Tianchi and Qiao Ying'an became very subtle. If we count the grudges, they are almost even. Shao's mother killed Qiao Guoping, and Qiao Ying'an killed Shao Zhongxiong. Therefore, they also

You can shake hands and make peace.

When asked about work, Qiao Ying'an's face suddenly darkened and he nodded hesitantly, "Not bad."

However, Shao Tianchi, who is the leader of a group, has extraordinary eyesight and ability to detect faces. His eyes flashed and he said bluntly: "Uncle Qiao, is there something wrong with your work?

?Did you get demoted at the chemical plant or..."

"It's okay, it's none of your business." Qiao Ying'an interrupted him, his face not looking good.

Shao Tianchi nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Qiao Ying'an didn't know what he meant by "understanding". Anyway, the topic was not continued. After a while of silence, Qiao Ying'an suddenly remembered something and his expression became worried, "You just said that Xiao Shan suffers from depression. Is this true?

?Where is she being treated now?"

Shao Tianchi nodded slowly, "It's true. It was very serious before and she was very resistant to treatment. After various efforts during this period, she finally made up her mind to face her condition and cooperate with the treatment. Many knots, such as

She has let go of the knots she felt towards my mother, the self-blame for my father's death, and the kindness she felt towards the Ji family, but she still has one biggest knot she can't get rid of, which is Uncle Qiao and Auntie."

Hearing this, Qiao Ying'an was shocked and was stunned for a few seconds. Suddenly she raised her hands to cover her eyes and murmured in a difficult voice, "Xiaoshan hates me. I understand. She hates me for using her for revenge. What she can't figure out is

This is the knot in your heart!"
