love addiction

It's true that Jing Qi is his sister, but she never regarded herself as a member of Qiao's family.

After all, she had been homeless since she was a child, and was only found by the old man later that she wanted to recognize her ancestors and return to her clan, but Jing Qi immediately rejected her.

She didn't have any feelings for the Qiao family, and even less looked down on the wealth of the Qiao family. After all, she was rich herself.

It stands to reason that the old man Qiao should not like to see Jing Qi, after all, he only likes obedient children.

But helpless, Jing Qi is the child of old man Qiao and his first love, and that is the only woman he has ever really liked.

Even though he was very cold-blooded to everyone and didn't show affection, the only warmth in this life was given to Jing Qi, maybe he wanted to make up for the debt of true love to their children.

So what Jing Qi wants to do, whoever she likes and who she wants to marry, the old man is all up to Jing Qi, she can do as she pleases.

But he is strict with the other children of the Qiao family and will not condone them.

The reason why Qiao Xingzhou was able to leave Qiao's house back then was to work hard in the entertainment industry.

It was all because Qiao Xingzhou's eldest brother had an accident at that time, which made the old man sad for a long time, and he had no time to take care of his youngest son.

Now that the situation with Mr. Qiao has stabilized, the old man will take care of this young son again.

Qiao Xingzhou is 22. In the eyes of the old man, he should have done something for the Qiao family's business empire.

For example, business marriage.

It was for this purpose that Qiao Xingzhou's mother called several times to urge him to come back.

But Qiao Xingzhou kept refusing, even with a very tough attitude, which made the old man very dissatisfied, so he asked Jing Qi for help.

It stands to reason that Jing Qi wouldn't help him, so Qiao Xingzhou was very resistant to her behavior.

"Okay, stop staring at me, I can't help it, who told me that I owe that old man a favor." Jing Qi was helplessly stared at by him, so he could only explain, "More than a month ago, something happened inside your brother-in-law's company. I had a small problem, and the old man asked someone to solve it, so I owe this favor."

"The relationship between you, why sacrifice me? Is it related to me? I have nothing to do with that family." Qiao Xingzhou's attitude was very tough.

Jing Qi actually appreciates him for this, "I know you don't like the old man's behavior, and even less that he controls you, but you have to think about your mother, how difficult it is for her to be caught in the middle all these years, don't you?" Do you know? I don't believe you don't know. When the old man came to me, I saw your mother. She was old, thin and haggard. Tell me about you, can your conscience be at ease? "

About this, Qiao Xingzhou was really guilty.

After Jing Qi said that, he fell silent, and he was not as hostile as before.

Jing Qi also delivered the steak that he ordered, and she cut it for him and handed it over to comfort him, "Actually, I think it's okay for you to come back this time, just to see your mother, how much she misses you Ah, but I can't see you, I'm helping you."

Qiao Xingzhou gave her a blank look, and said that what women are best at is pretentious words.

It was obviously her who did the bad thing, but she forced it to be her credit.

He was eating steak, and Jing Qi lazily leaned on the seat and said, "Also, I heard that the blind date arranged for you this time is very beautiful, but I have never seen it, and I don't know about her family background. The old man didn’t reveal anything, but you also know that his vision is high, and those who can meet his standards must be good, you can go to an interview and try, what if you like it?”

"He likes him? Then he will marry him." Qiao Xingzhou sarcastically said disdainfully.

"If he's married, your mother won't cry to death?" Jing Qi tapped him with chopsticks.

Qiao Xingzhou avoided questioning and asked, "What are you doing!"

"No reason, I just want to teach you a lesson, brat! I haven't called me sister yet, is it too much?" Jing Qi said dissatisfied.

"I don't admit that you are my sister."

Jing Qi was so angry that he picked up his chopsticks to hit him again, but after only moving a little, his expression froze for a moment, and then he covered his stomach and said, "Oh, my stomach hurts..."

"Are you okay?" Qiao Xingzhou didn't want to care at first, but seeing her curl up so much, she was a little worried and asked.

"I'm a pregnant woman. I'm pregnant with my third child. The doctor said that the fetal gas is unstable. You see, you made me so angry that my fetal gas moved. It's so uncomfortable..." Jing Qi scolded while holding her belly Humming.

Her belly is slightly distended, and she looks about four months old.

Qiao Xingzhou became worried, "Is it really uncomfortable? Or did you lie to me? Is there a doctor?"

"Oh...it hurts..." Jing Qi's face was contorted in pain.

Seeing that it didn't look like it was pretending, Qiao Xingzhou immediately dropped the knife and fork and went over to support him and asked, "Is there a doctor? What should I do? What about the others? Can anyone help?"

"You may feel better if you call me sister..."

Qiao Xingzhou, "..."

After realizing that he was being teased, Qiao Xingzhou shook off her and sat back in his seat angrily.

Jing Qi also sat up straight now, trembling with laughter, "It's really hard for you to call me sister."

"boring."

Jing Qi likes to tease Qiao Xingzhou, just like when she was a child, every time she sees his angry face, she will feel very happy.

And she felt that when Qiao Xingzhou was particularly angry, his frowning expression was very much like old man Qiao.

Qiao Xingzhou finished eating the steak slowly, looked at her belly again and asked, "What is your first baby?"

"Third child!" Jing Qi said, puffing out her stomach, "How is it? Isn't it great?"

"If you were in the past, you would be a baby-making machine, and you're even more powerful..." Qiao Xingzhou commented viciously.

Jing Qi rolled his eyes at him, "What do you know? Having children is my pleasure. I want to have a daughter. There are two boys in the family. It's not fun at all. I want to have a daughter who is as beautiful as me! Let's wear sisters together." Pretend! That's fun!"

"That's called a mother-daughter outfit."

"It's sister outfits!"

Qiao Xingzhou was also speechless, "Then have you done a sex test?"

"Eh..." Jing Qi, who was always eloquent, suddenly couldn't answer.

Under Qiao Xingzhou's questioning eyes, she hesitated and said, "I want to do it, but your brother-in-law won't let me, because I'm afraid it's a son, so I'll cry and die."

Qiao Xingzhou, "..."

I have to say that this brother-in-law really understands her temperament.

The siblings were chatting, and the topic brought up the blind date again. What Jing Qi meant was, "I think you just meet up, don't make it too stiff, if you make the old man anxious, he will If you do something uncontrollable, it will be very troublesome, you just go to a meeting, and then say you don’t like it, let him spend time looking for new candidates, and you can be free for a while.”

"No." Qiao Xingzhou was very firm.

Jing Qi continued to lobby, "Don't be so decisive, anyway, you won't lose anything if you meet each other. Besides, what if you see it right?"

"No." His attitude was still firm.

Jing Qi was dissatisfied, "Why not? I'm talking about what if, what if you like it?"

"If I say no, I won't."

"There is nothing absolute!" Jing Qi tried to convince him.

But Qiao Xingzhou was very firm, "This matter is absolute."

"why?"

Qiao Xingzhou paused for a moment, then looked at Jing Qi, and said calmly, "Because I have someone I like."

"Really?" Jing Qi stared at him with wide eyes, "Wow, I know some terrible secret, it seems that you and the old man have a big confrontation to fight, but don't worry, I Will be on your side."

"Thank you." Qiao Xingzhou gave her a disgusted look.

This woman is clearly looking for a good show.

It has been four years since he came back to this place, and after four years, Qiao Xingzhou felt strange and familiar again when he stood in front of his house again.

Jing Qi stood beside her, and followed him to look at the gate of Qiao's house, "It's not as grand as before."

"Just say what you want to say, and don't say such hypocritical things." Qiao Xingzhou interrupted her sensationalism.

Jing Qi finally wanted to express something, but was overwhelmed by his words, "Okay, okay, I just want to say that the old man's body is not as healthy as before, and he has been taking medicine for the past two years. It’s better to be less angry with him in the future, and you understand the situation now, if you are mad at the old man to death now, you will definitely come back to inherit the family business! The gain outweighs the loss.”

Qiao Xingzhou's face sank, showing that he disagreed with her statement.

"Don't believe me? You'll know as soon as you see it yourself." Jing Qi didn't explain much.

Qiao Xingzhou frowned, and took the first steps to knock on the door.

It was the old housekeeper of the manor who opened the door. Seeing that it was Qiao Xingzhou, he was stunned for a long time, and was so excited that he couldn't speak for a long time, "Little, little, you're back, young master!"

"Well, Uncle Zhou, are you okay?" Qiao Xingzhou greeted Uncle Zhou.

"Okay, okay, everything is okay." Uncle Zhou's eyes turned red.

Jing Qi couldn't bear to see this provocative scene, so he broke down very rudely in the past, "Why are you standing at the gate? Can't you just go in and say no? Are you intentionally letting a pregnant woman stand and wait for you to cry?"

"Yes, yes, come in quickly, the master will be very happy to know that you are back!" Uncle Zhou hurriedly dragged Qiao Xingzhou in with tears in his eyes.

There is no change here, except that the white walls of the manor are not as white as before.

The garden was still neatly trimmed, and every place remained as it was in Qiao Xingzhou's memory when he left.

Qiao Xingzhou's father has a very serious obsessive-compulsive disorder, and every detail of the family must be the best, otherwise he will lose his temper.

Uncle Zhou trotted ahead, and greeted Qiao Xingzhou as he walked, "I'll call the master first, he's still in the study."

"Where's my mother?" The first thing Qiao Xingzhou wanted to see was his own mother.

"Madam went out this morning and hasn't come back yet. I'll call her soon."

"Uncle Zhou, do you have candied fruit at home? Get some for me, I'm starving to death." Jing Qi walked over and pulled Qiao Xingzhou to continue walking, not forgetting to order Uncle Zhou to prepare snacks for himself.

"I have some, I'll go get them right away." Uncle Zhou was almost exhausted, but he was very happy.

Jing Qi forcibly pulled Qiao Xingzhou in, and pushed him into a chair to sit down, "Okay, I'm back, give my sister a smile."

Qiao Xingzhou stared at her coldly.

"Oh, you are fierce, you will frighten your little niece like this."

Qiao Xingzhou looked away from her again, but he didn't seem to be struggling to get up anymore.

Seeing that he was honest, Jing Qi let go of him, sat down on the chair next to him, touched the wood of the table and said, "Golden silk nanmu, it's expensive to make, I want a set later."

Qiao Xingzhou didn't bother to pay attention to her. When footsteps were heard upstairs, Qiao Xingzhou immediately sat up straight, looking straight ahead.

Seeing this, Jing Qi advised him, "Calm down, don't panic."
