Chen Ying didn't expect Chen's father to agree to her so easily.
"Dad is the best to me."
"That's natural. Who made you my biological daughter?"
Mr. Chen was the most sanctimonious person. He slightly suppressed the smile on his face and said, "But your engagement day is coming soon. Should this matter...should be slowed down? We can wait until after the engagement."
"I can't wait any longer. I'm still waiting for the design draft. I just have to find a way to make it more secretive. After all, hasn't she already been with Mr. Yu before?"
When Mr. Chen thought about it, it was the same.
"I'll talk to your Aunt Qiao tomorrow."
When Qiao Zhishu returned home from school, it was rare to see Qiao's mother sitting in the room.
"Mom, why didn't you go to the main building to help today?"
Qiao's mother was holding a photo frame in her hand. Qiao Zhishu walked up to her and saw a look of sorrow on her face. She must have thought of her father again.
"It's not good for you to always be like this. Don't think about the past."
Qiao Zhishu wanted to take the photo frame away, but Qiao's mother held her tightly.
"mom--"
"Qiao Qiao, mom is sorry for you." Qiao's mother said, reaching out to hug her. Qiao Zhishu looked at her face buried in front of her.
"Qiao Qiao, after your father left, debtors came to our house every day to cause trouble. If it hadn't been for your Uncle Chen's kindness in taking us in, neither mother nor daughter would be alive today."
Qiao Zhishu gently put her hand on her mother's shoulder and saw a lot of white hair sprouting from her head.
Qiao Zhishu was overwhelmed by this kind of kindness, "I know, and I will never forget it in the future."
Mother Qiao reached out and wiped the tears on her face randomly. She put the photo frame up, got up and walked to a table.
"Qiaoqiao, I may have to come back later. Don't go hungry."
"Well, don't worry about me. I'll cook some noodles myself."
Mother Qiao poured the hot water into the cup, stirred it gently with a spoon, and waited until it cooled down a bit before serving it to Qiao Zhishu.
"Drink a cup of hot milk to cushion your stomach."
"good."
Qiao Zhishu held it in her hand, and when she looked up at Qiao's mother, her mother's eyes averted.
Qiao Zhishu didn't feel anything was wrong, "Mom, don't be too tired, your waist is not good... don't kneel down to wipe the floor, you won't be able to bear it."
Mother Qiao's eyes turned red again, and her nose became extremely sore.
"Well, mom will be careful."
Qiao Zhishu brought the cup to her lips and swallowed a mouthful of milk. Qiao's mother's lips trembled, but she said nothing in the end.
She watched her daughter drink a whole glass of milk.
Mother Qiao walked into the yard, still in a daze, when she suddenly heard a man's voice. "Has she drunk?"
Mother Qiao looked back and saw that Mr. Chen had already arrived in front of her.
She nodded lightly, "Drink."
Mr. Chen looked satisfied, "You did a good job."
There were some things that Qiao's mother didn't dare to ask, but she was worried. Seeing Mr. Chen was about to leave, she had to chase after him, "I'm just taking Qiao Qiao to the hospital for a blood draw, right?"
Mr. Chen was a little impatient, "Yes, haven't I explained it to you?"
"But I don't know... what will be done after the blood test. No... Isn't it asking Qiao Qiao to donate something? Mr. Chen, this is not possible. Qiao Qiao is still young. If you really want to harvest organs, do they need me?"
of."
Mr. Chen paused, not wanting to hear her talk that far.
"It's just that a relative has leukemia. You don't have to think too much about it."
"Then I can talk to Qiao Qiao and she will definitely cooperate in going to the hospital."
Mr. Chen's face turned cold, "If you feel embarrassed, forget it. Do you think I'm forcing Qiao Qiao?"
"No, that's not what I meant."
Mr. Chen took Mother Qiao back to the main building. Not long after Qiao Zhishu finished drinking the glass of milk, she fell into a deep sleep.
A little later, someone entered her room and carried her to the car.
The car carrying Qiao Zhishu slowly entered the dark night.
