From ancient times to the present, no matter which dynasty the urban layout is in, it seems that most cities cannot escape the general trend of richness in the east, wealth in the west, poverty in the south, and debasement in the north.
Therefore, the Qiao family, like other wealthy people in H City, lives in a villa area in the west of the city.
As the richest man in H City, the Qiao family's villa is naturally much larger than that of other residents. Moreover, in order to protect the privacy of the owner's family, the Qiao family's residence, activity location, and servants' residence are all located in different rows in the front and back. in the house.
Qiao's garage is also in a separate row. It is at the innermost part of the villa. After Qiao Yu entered the door, he threw the car keys to the servant who opened the door for him, and walked to the main house leisurely.
As soon as he entered the house, he was not surprised to see that everyone else in the house was already sitting on the sofa in the living room.
His mother, Ms. Yang Xue, was smiling and talking lovingly to her brother Qiao Hao. When she saw him coming in, her face instantly darkened, and she scolded her head and shoulders: "Why did you come back just now? How many times have you been here?" Have you ordered? Why are you hanging out outside if you don't go home? Seeing that everyone here is waiting for you to eat, you feel good, don't you? "
Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously glanced at the time - it was only a little after six o'clock.
"Mom, I'm not..." he defended subconsciously, "it's only ten minutes later than usual."
After he and Ye Chuzhi separated, he didn't even go back to Hai Lan, so he went home directly.
It's just that he was very stimulated this afternoon, and because Ye Chuzhi exposed the incident in his childhood, he felt a little dazed. Therefore, in order to avoid driving in a bad state and causing an accident, he drove a little slower than usual.
"What's wrong with ten minutes? Does ten minutes make sense? Can't you tell me?"
Yang Xue glared: "Okay, why don't you go to your father's company and stay in your ungrateful place every day, fooling around with your gang of friends, doing nothing serious every day? What's your business? Time doesn’t matter, but have you considered it for your brother?”
"Your brother leaves early and comes home late every day, helping your father take care of the company. He is very busy. In ten minutes, do you know how many things he can handle for the company? He works so hard, but he can't get a hot meal when he comes home, and he has to wait for you. Come back, you, the younger brother, don’t feel guilty?”
Qiao Yu didn't want to say anything at first, he just made a casual excuse along with his mother's words of "coming back late". How could he have expected that he would elicit such a reprimand from the other party
He was already feeling aggrieved because of Hailan's incident, and now that his mother scolded him like this, he felt extremely aggrieved. He couldn't help but retort, "My brother is working hard, but it's not like what you said. Can’t you even get a hot meal? Don’t you always send love soup to his company at noon every day? I don’t get this kind of treatment... "
"Hey kid, what do you mean?"
When Yang Xue heard this, she immediately became anxious. She stared, stood up, pointed at Qiao Yu and said, "You mean that I favor your brother and treat you harshly, right?"
Seeing her like this, Qiao Yu secretly said, "No," and quickly tried to save her: "Mom, I didn't mean that, you..."
"Okay! What didn't you mean? That's what you meant!!"
Yang Xue didn't give him a chance to speak at all. She interrupted him with a wave of her hand and said loudly: "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking! You just think that I have been partial to your brother over the years, right? ?”
"Don't even look at it. Your brother has always been number one in grades since he was a child. After graduation, he went directly to your father's company. He has worked for eight years. How can any of the projects he handles not make money? Your father's old friends Let’s not talk about it anymore. Now even the main family in Beijing knows that your father has such a good son! If you tell me, others will envy me! But what about you??”
"I went out in the middle of the night on the first day of the college entrance examination. I got into a fight and was arrested by the police and was taken to the police station. I just missed the last exam! Okay! It doesn't matter if you can't go to a domestic university. Anyway, my family has the conditions, so I will send you to study abroad. Same!! But what’s the result??”
"Your father sent you to study business management, hoping that you could join the company and help him like your brother after returning to China. But look at you, what did you do after returning to China??"
"I asked you to go to the company, but you didn't go! I had to open such an unorthodox place by myself. I would blush if I told you! You are surrounded by a group of vixens every day, and you still need me, a mother, to bring you soup and water. Are you annoying?? You..."
When Yang Xue talked about Qiao Yu's fault, Yang Xue's mouth kept talking like a machine gun, as if she had a huge grievance in her heart and wanted to talk it out all at once.
Faced with these scoldings that he had been tired of hearing since childhood, Qiao Yu just lowered his head and stood there, his face so gloomy that he could drip water.
Seeing his youngest son's face getting more and more ugly, Qiao Mingxun finally couldn't continue to pretend that he couldn't hear.
He put down the newspaper in his hand, raised his head and said, "Okay, that's almost it. That's your son. Why do you act like enemies when you see him every day?"
"I'm like an enemy??" When Yang Xue heard this, she immediately turned around and looked at her husband in disbelief, saying, "Qiao Mingxun, what do you mean by this??"
"Why do I regard him as my enemy? Don't forget, when I gave birth to him, I had a dystocia. It hurt for a whole day and I almost died from bleeding. How could I not know that he was my son? You are out there every day He is busy with work and does not interfere in the big and small affairs of the family. I have been in charge of everything since he was a child. I have been in charge of it for so many years, how can I not know that he is my son??"
"The question is, I regard him as my son, but does he regard me as my mother? If I hadn't known that he was my biological child, I would have thought that he owed someone in my previous life and came to me to collect debts in this life!! His brother has been here since he was a child He is close to me and knows how to be filial to me, but what about him? When he sees me, he lowers his head and says nothing, wishing he could hide far away! Now that he has grown up, it is even more embarrassing. When he comes home late and says a few words to him, he will say something about me. Preferring his brother! Do you think you can survive this day??"
The more Yang Xue talked, the angrier she became. In the end, her eye circles were red and her voice was choked with sobs: "What sin have I done to end up with a heartless little white-eyed wolf like you..."
