Chen Xiue was also angry with her younger sister for keeping this a secret from her, and she felt extremely frustrated.

She could only leave first, holding her child and looking pale.

The two Chen brothers carried Chen Yulian on their backs and hurriedly chased after them.

When all these unpleasant people and things are gone.

Only then did the Qiao family properly welcome Old Master Mo, Pei Anting, and Xiang Dongyan into the main hall.

Qiao Changdong went to the well to fetch water to wash his hands, with Qiao Xiaoyun following behind him, holding Qiao Qiao in her arms.

She lowered her voice and asked Qiao Changdong curiously, "Why did the Pei family come?"

"What? Didn't your brother-in-law tell you?" Qiao Changdong turned around, looking surprised. "Your brother-in-law has such a big mouth, I thought you knew last night."

"..." Qiao Xiaoyun reached out and pinched his arm: "Speak properly to me!"

"Okay, I'll speak properly." Qiao Changdong smiled, reached behind him and grabbed a towel hanging on a bamboo pole to dry, then wiped his hands.

Then she took Qiao Qiao from her arms, kissed her little face, and asked, "Baby, are you hungry? Come on, Daddy will take you to have breakfast first."

"Qiao Changdong!" Qiao Xiaoyun stomped her foot and shouted angrily from behind.

"What do you want? My daughter is hungry, I need to take her to eat first."

Qiao Changdong turned to look at her with an expression that said, "Nothing matters more than my daughter eating," which successfully angered Qiao Xiaoyun again.

"You heartless ingrate!" She rushed back in such a hurry, afraid that he would suffer at the hands of the Chen family.

"Alright, my dear sister, I know you haven't eaten either. I was just worried you'd be hungry too," Qiao Changdong said with a smile, as he came over to pull her away.

Seeing that Qiao Xiaoyun's expression had improved because of his words, he still insisted on courting death.

"Sis, I'm not trying to criticize you, but don't your colleagues really mind that you keep asking them to switch shifts with you every few days?"

It looked like Qiao Xiaoyun was about to reach out and pinch someone again.

He added, "Never mind, I bought a lot of things in the provincial capital before. You can give some back to your colleagues and try to win them over."

Qiao Xiaoyun glanced at him and said, "You're quite nosy."

"But don't worry, everyone has emergencies sometimes. I'll take over for her when she needs me."

She said that, but Qiao Xiaoyun felt comforted inside.

As she spoke, she recalled what she had seen earlier and said with some surprise, "I never thought that something could actually be thrown out of the bubble on Guai Guai's head. It's amazing."

"???" Qiao Qiao.

Still reeling from the formidable fighting prowess of her own people, Qiao Qiao looked at Qiao Xiaoyun, who had just spoken, with a puzzled expression.

Something got thrown out of the little bubble?

Qiao Changdong didn't respond. There were still outsiders in the house, even though they were quite a distance apart—they were in the main room and he was in the kitchen—he didn't dare to be careless.

Qiao Xiaoyun only made this remark and did not continue speaking.

Grandma Qiao and the others had already eaten, but there were still some sweet potatoes simmering in the pot. Qiao Xiaoyun took two sweet potatoes, and when Qiao Changdong fried eggs for Qiao Qiao, he also fried three for her.

When the three of them came out, the people in the main room had already had a preliminary exchange.

Grandma Qiao knew that the person had come to apologize, so she didn't lose her manners. She went inside and brought out a fruit plate that was only used during the New Year. Inside were some peanuts that the family had just roasted, as well as peach shortbread that Qiao Changdong had just bought yesterday.

"Auntie, you're too kind. We came here specifically to apologize. There's no need for you to be so polite."

Xiang Dongyan's personality is somewhat similar to Mo Wenpei's, but compared to Mo Wenpei's carefree and cheerful nature, she is more enthusiastic and unrestrained.

To be honest, Qiao Kun and Pei Yuanfan got into a fight.

Pei Yuanfan may have a sharp tongue, but Qiao Kun has already beaten him up, so this matter should be put behind us. There's no need for such a big fuss about apologizing.

But Grandma Qiao found it strange that Xiang Dongyan not only came to apologize but also brought so many gifts.

Especially since she had just witnessed such a chaotic battle in her own home.

Logically speaking, any normal person should stay away from their house.

But Xiang Dongyan was not afraid at all, and acted as if nothing had happened, which really puzzled Grandma Qiao.

It wasn't until Qiao Qiao, who had just finished brushing her teeth and washing her face, followed Qiao Changdong out, who was carrying a small bowl of malted milk powder in one hand and a small bowl of fried eggs in the other, and saw the way Xiang Dongyan's eyes lit up, that Grandma Qiao finally understood what was going on.

In Grandma Qiao's eyes, her granddaughter was naturally perfect in every way, lovable and endearing, which was only natural!

"Qiaoqiao, do you still remember Aunt Xiang? We met yesterday, remember?"

When Xiang Dongyan saw Qiao Qiao, she got up and jogged towards her.

As he spoke, he pulled out a square object, about the size of an adult's palm and about two centimeters thick, from his bag.

She said with great enthusiasm, "I promised Auntie yesterday that I would treat you to chocolate. Here you go, this is chocolate, it's delicious."

Qiao Qiao held her small enamel bowl and sipped her malted milk powder, taking the opportunity to call out to the woman in front of her and everyone else in the main room.

Then she looked at the chocolate that Xiang Dongyan handed to her.

Her eyes widened when she saw the familiar chocolate packaging.

"This is a foreign brand, it's very delicious, my son loves it the most," Xiang Dongyan introduced enthusiastically.

"Is this Yuanfan?" Qiao Xiaoyun, who was also carrying a bowl containing sweet potatoes and fried eggs, walked over and asked.

Because of Meng Zhengcheng and Pei Anting's relationship, she also knew Xiang Dongyan, but they were only nodding acquaintances and not close friends.

Qiao Xiaoyun also learned some information about the Pei family from Meng Zhengcheng.

Pei Anting and Xiang Dongyan had two sons.

However, apart from Pei Yuanfan, who transferred back from Kyoto half a year ago and is now in the first year of junior high school at Hongfeng Middle School, she has not yet met Xiang Dongyan's other son.

"No." Xiang Dongyan was still smiling, but there was a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

“This is my eldest son, named Pei Yiyang, nicknamed Suisui. He is fifteen years old this year. Speaking of which, he is the same age as your eldest son, Qiao Jing, right?

At this point, Xiang Dongyan looked at Mo Wenpei on the other side.

"Oh, you have an older son? I didn't know that. Is he in high school too? Where does he go? Is he in the county's top high school?" Mo Wenpei asked in surprise.

She looked at Dongyan, who was so young and beautiful, probably only in her early thirties, and was surprised to find that she had a son who was the same age as her eldest son.

When Qiao Qiao heard the name Sui Sui, her gaze changed.

She looked at Xiang Dongyan, who was smiling but whose smile made her feel sad, with disbelief.

Is she Pei Yiyang's mother, Pei Gege's mother?

Pei Yiyang, Pei Suisui.

He was a kind older brother who had spent two months with her.

She was the first close friend she made after returning to the Shen family and moving into that little villa.
