Although Mr. Qiao was questioned by Xinluo, there was no anger in his eyes.
Instead, he said cheerfully, "Yuchen, your wife is very outgoing and energetic. No wonder your illness has improved a lot since you were with her, and you seem to be more popular than before."
"..." Xinluo was slightly startled, feeling that the punch he had just thrown had completely hit soft cotton.
In addition, despite her tough attitude, Mr. Qiao smiled cheerfully and even expressed his concern for Lu Yuchen, which made her feel embarrassed.
Her face turned red and she could only sit back obediently.
But he still refused to give in. "Grandpa Qiao, this is how it is with Lu Yuchen and I, and Xiaoqing and Qiao Mohan can also be like this. Xiaoqing has a better personality than me, she is more cheerful and energetic. If Grandpa Qiao lets her be with Qiao Mohan, it will definitely bring more joy to your Qiao family."
"No... little girl, you are wrong." Mr. Qiao was not moved at all.
"You and Yuchen are a good match because you are the eldest daughter of the Reddington family. Even if you are not, you were once the eldest daughter of the Gu family. If you take a step back, you are still the eldest daughter of the Tang family."
"The Tang family has a strict family tradition. Your adoptive parents are both honest, serious and motivated people. On the other hand, the Su family, Su Zheng is not a good father, how can he educate decent children?"
"Our Qiao family is also a century-old family. The future mistress must not be handed over to a small family like the Su family."
Mr. Qiao is good in every way except that he is really conservative.
He values family, family background and origin more than anyone else.
"Well, since Grandpa Qiao looks down on Xiaoqing, the child she gave birth to should not be worthy of your Qiao family's eyes. Return the child to Xiaoqing, and we will not care about Xiaoqing and Qiao Mohan's affairs anymore."
Xinluo had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Qiao said, "That child has the blood of our Qiao family in her body. Naturally, she will not be as mediocre as the children of the Su family. What's more, that woman has no power and influence. She can't even take care of herself. Why should she take care of my great-granddaughter?"
"Just me!" Xinluo was completely annoyed this time.
She would not give in at all on the issue of the child, and faced Mr. Qiao directly and made harsh remarks.
"I can guarantee the lives of Xiaoqing and her daughter!"
"Although I don't think Xiaoqing is incapable of supporting herself, if Grandpa Qiao insists that Xiaoqing can't give her child the best, then I'll... I can guarantee that what my son and daughter have, Xiaoqing's daughter will also have."
"You?" Mr. Joe's eyes moved slightly, "You mean, give her everything that a child of the Reddington family would have?"
"Yes." Xinluo looked directly at the old man without any fear.
"Grandpa Qiao, Xiaoqing's child is still so young, she can't live without a mother. Xiaoqing can't live without a daughter either... Qiao Mohan has already forgotten Xiaoqing, so why not just let him stay away from them completely? Leave the child to me..."
Xinluo's bright eyes were filled with sincere pleading.
When Mr. Qiao heard what she said, there seemed to be a hint of emotion in his eyes.
But the next moment, he said firmly: "No, I still don't agree. Everything that the Reddington family can give to the child, our Qiao family can also give. But a mother like Su Qing is the eternal shame of this child, she doesn't deserve it."
"You are so inhumane..."
Xinluo was annoyed, but the old man suddenly changed the subject. (To be continued)
