After rebirth, Mrs. Huo only wanted a divorce

Seeing that Qiao Shinian had already made up his mind, Huo Yanci naturally did not offer any more suggestions, but just asked Qiao Shinian to be cautious.

Having said everything he wanted to say, Qiao Shinian glanced at the time and said, "It's getting late. You should go back and rest."

Even though Huo Yanci didn't want to leave, he didn't find an excuse to stay any longer and he got up from the sofa.

Just then, Qiao Shinian's video call rang, so she ignored him and answered it herself.

When Huo Yanci walked to the door, he couldn't help but look back at Qiao Shinian. She was already lying on her back on the sofa.

Different from the seriousness when she was talking to him just now, at this moment, Qiao Shinian had one slender white foot resting on the knee of her other leg and was shaking her foot constantly, looking very leisurely and relaxed.

Huo Yanci couldn't help but think of the time when they were not divorced yet. Qiao Shinian got angry because he didn't accompany her back to her grandfather's house, and she even stayed there and refused to go back.

When his grandmother found out about this, she ordered him to go to the Qiao family to pick up Qiao Shinian.

At that time, Qiao Shinian was also wearing casual and loose home clothes, with no makeup on her face. She was lying on the sofa watching the tablet, swinging her feet happily.

However, after seeing him, Qiao Shinian's first reaction was to scream, and then rushed upstairs barefoot.

He was originally very impatient and angry, but in that instant all his unhappiness disappeared.

He even stood there without moving, looking at the direction where Qiao Shinian's figure disappeared.

It was not until the servant spoke to him later that he came to his senses.

The next person to come was Qiao Shinian, whose makeup was exquisite and her clothes were decent, so perfect that there was nothing wrong with her.

Huo Yanci's emotions had also returned to calm.

He also thought that those absent-minded moments were caused by being frightened by Qiao Shinian's sudden startles.

I never thought that it was actually a heartbeat...

Qiao Shinian and Qiao Leyan were chatting, and Qiao Leyan somehow saw the door, "Isn't that my sister... President Huo?"

Qiao Shinian lay on his back and looked back, and sure enough, Huo Yanci hadn't left yet.

I don’t know what he was thinking, but there was a hint of... pain on his handsome face?

Why is he being so pretentious for no reason?

When Qiao Shinian turned his head to take a closer look, Huo Yanci had already walked out and closed the door.

Nervous.

"It's him. I just talked to him about something." Qiao Shinian said.

Qiao Leyan didn't quite believe it, "It's so late, he's at your place, talking to you?"

Qiao Shinian rolled his eyes at Qiao Leyan and said, "What are you thinking? He lives across the street."

Upon learning that Huo Yanci had changed his residence, Qiao Leyan was surprised again, "I never thought that Huo Yanci, who used to be so aloof that ordinary people dared not approach him, would be so open-minded now. Wherever you go, he will follow you."

Qiao Shinian didn't want to talk about this with Qiao Leyan. "Stop talking nonsense. What do you want from me?"

Qiao Leyan then said, "My mother said that you haven't been home for dinner for a long time. She and Dad plan to go to Grandpa's house tomorrow. She will cook for you and ask you to come with her."

Qiao Shinian just wanted to ask his uncle and grandfather if they knew anyone from the Song family and whether they had any grudges against them, so he agreed to go for dinner tomorrow.

……

The next day, Qiao Shinian went to see Yiming first before going to his grandfather's house.

When she arrived, her uncle's family had already arrived, and with them was Yu Jingcheng.

At this moment, my uncle was playing chess with my grandfather, while Qiao Leyan and Yu Jingcheng were looking at something on the tablet. Qiao Leyan was talking excitedly, while Yu Jingcheng was listening patiently.

"Guosheng, look at this abalone—"

At this time, my aunt came out of the kitchen with a box of dried abalone. Seeing Qiao Shinian, she greeted her warmly, "Niannian is back!"

Ever since she helped her uncle deal with that incident, her aunt's attitude towards her has visibly improved.

Even if there is no sincerity in his feelings, at least he has begun to respect and value her.

Hearing Tan Shuhong's voice, the other people in the room looked towards Qiao Shinian.

"Niannian, why are you standing there? Come to grandpa!" Qiao Donghai stretched out his hand to her.

Qiao Shinian greeted everyone with a smile and walked to his grandfather.

My uncle was called by my aunt to the kitchen to study the ingredients, and Qiao Shinian sat down next to my grandfather.

"Nian Nian, have you lost weight? Haven't you been eating well recently?"

Grandpa held her hand lovingly and said, "No matter how busy you are at work, you must make sure to rest."

"Grandpa, you are biased!"

Qiao Leyan pouted and interrupted, "When I came here, you asked me if I had gained weight. When I came here, you said she was thin. You only felt sorry for her because she was busy with work. I'm busy too!"

Qiao Donghai looked at Qiao Leyan kindly and joked, "I don't know whether you are busy at work or not, but judging from your double chin, you have never treated your mouth badly."

"Grandpa, I don't have a double chin!"

Qiao Leyan was not convinced when she heard this. To prove herself, she stretched her neck upwards and said, "Look, I am not at all - ahem!"

Before she could finish her proof, Qiao Leyan choked on her saliva because she stretched her neck too hard.

She coughed so hard that her face turned red. Yu Jingcheng handed her some water and tissues with a helpless smile, "You like to show off at work, and you also like to show off at home."

"Well, how could I be trying to be stubborn? I didn't, cough cough..." Qiao Leyan retorted while coughing and angrily.

Qiao Shinian looked at this harmonious scene and suddenly felt that Yu Jingcheng and Qiao Leyan were actually a good match.

One is gentle and considerate, the other is careless.

I don’t know if my aunt will agree. After all, my aunt has always wanted Qiao Leyan to marry into a wealthy family and enter the “upper class”.

Yu Jingcheng's family background and abilities are good, but he is still a little short of his aunt's standards.

But there is no rush. At present, Qiao Leyan and Yu Jingcheng are not interested in each other. Let's wait until they develop feelings for each other, and then think of a solution.

Half of the lunch dishes were prepared by my aunt, and they tasted really good.

My aunt's cooking skills have always been something she is proud of. She once boasted that she conquered my uncle's heart with just one table of dishes.

In the past, Qiao Shinian rarely had the chance to eat because there were servants at home and her aunt didn't need to cook.

Even if she ate it occasionally, Qiao Shinian never tasted it seriously. She didn't like her aunt very much, and she didn't like her dishes either.

At this moment, Qiao Shinian was eating the food made by her aunt and watching the family sitting together happily. She had a different feeling about family affection in her heart.

Family affection also requires mutual giving and maintenance.

Her uncle and aunt had treated her badly in the past, but she had never truly respected them. Instead, she felt from the bottom of her heart that they were a burden to her grandfather.

What happened in the previous life is over, and in this life, she wants to protect the Qiao family.

After dinner, Qiao Leyan wanted to continue explaining her design inspiration to Yu Jingcheng.

Qiao Shinian sat in the living room with her grandfather, uncle and aunt, drinking tea and chatting.

I first told them that Yiming is currently doing well in business.

She also politely declined their inquiries about her emotional state.

Then Qiao Shinian asked, "Grandpa, uncle, do you know the Song family in North City?"
