Qiao Shan also felt that Qiao Nian had gone too far. Haughtily, he said, "Hurry up and bring back all the Suranne Grass that you’ve taken to the Gu residence. Then, I won’t pursue the fact that you talked back to your elders today!"
Qiao Nian clenched her fists tightly.
Ha!
Pursuing the matter.
What a great turn of phrase!
Qiao Nian had never expected Qiao Shan to brazenly shield Qiao Xin, the thief, just for a pot of Suranne Grass.
Qiao Nian was even starting to doubt whether she was Qiao Shan and Su Xue’s biological daughter. Why did their attitudes towards their two daughters differ so much?
Qiao Nian put away her thoughts and looked coldly at Qiao Xin, her lips curving up slightly as she said, "Qiao Xin, since you don’t want to return the Suranne Grass, then I won’t want it either. But you have to think this through carefully. Whether you can afford to keep this pot of Suranne Grass around is a matter you evidently haven’t considered. When the time comes, I hope you won’t kneel down and beg me to accept it!"
Qiao Nian’s eyes flashed with ice.
Qiao Xin stood behind Su Xue. She hadn’t expected Qiao Nian to change her mind.
However, Qiao Xin soon understood. Qiao Nian had grown up in the countryside and had always wanted to return to the Qiao family.
For the sake of the Suranne Grass, her father had been kind to Qiao Nian. Qiao Nian must have been so touched that she wanted to cry.
Qiao Xin smiled and said gently, "Sister, don’t worry. I will take good care of this pot of Suranne Grass."
After receiving Qiao Xin’s answer, Qiao Nian left without turning back, leaving the Qiao family in a state of confusion.
Qiao Xin heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Qiao Nian had relented.
Qiao Shan looked at Qiao Nian’s retreating back and frowned. He said worriedly, "She clearly cared a lot about this pot of Suranne Grass. Why did she suddenly change her mind?"
The more Qiao Shan thought about it, the more worried he became. He was afraid that Qiao Nian would use the Gu family’s connections to force them to send the Suranne Grass back.
