Chapter 413 Depicting the Deep Bond Between Grandparents and Grandchildren
Reading Settings
"Grandpa, Grandma." Fu Yu was stunned for a moment when she saw the two elderly people being stopped by Tang Feng and the others, and then her eyes reddened.
Upon hearing Fu Yu's address to the two elderly people, Tang Feng and Wang Jun lifted the alarm and released their hands from blocking their path.
Behind the two elderly people were Xiang Xianglan and two young men who looked about five-tenths alike.
Upon seeing Fu Yu, all four of them were excited and happy.
Grandpa Xiang and the two young men managed to keep their emotions in check, but Madam Xiang suddenly rushed over again, ignoring that Fu Yu was still holding hands with Qiao Qiao, and pulled him into her arms.
She cried uncontrollably, "Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, my poor child, you scared your grandmother to death."
The old man cried with genuine emotion.
The emotions affected Fu Yu, and her eyes also welled up with tears.
Grandpa Xiang was also wiping his eyes repeatedly.
Seeing the two of them crying, Qiao Qiao had no choice but to let go of Fu Yu's hand and was picked up by Qiao Changdong who came up from behind.
"Good child, good child, let Grandma see if you are hurt anywhere. Where have you been for the past six months? How have you been? Have you suffered a lot?"
After managing to calm herself down, Madam Xiang pulled Fu Yu aside and examined her from head to toe, her words of concern flowing out in a string.
Fu Yu shook her head, comforting the old woman: "Grandma, I'm fine now."
As Madam Xiang examined the wound, she couldn't help but shed tears again.
At this moment, Grandpa Xiang and the two young men had already started talking to Qiao Changdong and Shen Qingyan.
When the three members of the Xiang family walked over, they had already observed Qiao Changdong and the others.
Especially Shen Qingyan.
From his appearance and demeanor, they knew without asking that this person's background was definitely not simple.
The eldest son of the Xiang family is named Xiang Pengcheng, and he is currently in charge of managing most of the Xiang family's businesses.
At this moment, he took the initiative to introduce himself to Shen Qingyan on behalf of the Xiang family: "Hello, Comrade Qiao, my name is Xiang Pengcheng, and I am Fu Yu's maternal uncle."
After introducing herself, before Shen Qingyan could speak, she said with deep gratitude, "Xianglan told me that you rescued him from human traffickers and took care of him for half a year. I am truly grateful to you, you..."
"Second brother, you've got it wrong. It was Brother Qiao who saved Xiaoyu. This is the real Brother Qiao."
Xiang Xianglan, who was standing next to Madam Xiang to calm her down and prevent her from getting too excited, quickly came over and pointed at Qiao Changdong, who was holding Qiao Qiao, to correct him.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Pengcheng paused for a moment. Following Xiang Xianglan's instructions, he turned his gaze to Qiao Changdong, whom he had just glanced at and then ignored. At the same time, his brows furrowed slightly.
From receiving the news of Xiang Jiajia's arrest to coming to the hotel to find Fu Yu, only half an hour had passed.
Xiang Xianglan only had time to briefly recount the whole incident to her family while in the car.
Xiang Xianglan naturally also mentioned that the person who saved Fu Yu was named Qiao Changdong.
However, when Xiang Pengcheng arrived at the hotel and saw Qiao Changdong, he subconsciously ignored him and thought that the one who saved Fu Yu should be Shen Qingyan, who had an outstanding temperament, was wearing military uniform, and looked like she came from an extraordinary background.
As for Qiao Changdong...
Xiang Pengcheng really didn't care much.
This man has outstanding facial features.
However, he has a roguish air about him and dresses very plainly.
Xiang Pengcheng was born into wealth and had never dealt with such people before. He might not have shown anything when he encountered them normally, but he looked down on them from the bottom of his heart.
In this situation, he naturally and subconsciously tended to, and sincerely hoped, that the person named Qiao Changdong was Shen Qingyan, who was wearing military uniform.
Instead of Qiao Changdong, who was holding Qiao Qiao and dressed very ordinarily.
Xiang Pengcheng was stunned for only two seconds.
However, Qiao Changdong and Qiao Qiao still noticed his subconscious frown.
Qiao Qiao pouted, looking unhappy.
She knew that this person looked down on her father!
Qiao Qiao was very unhappy. She didn't say anything, but little bubbles popped up on her forehead.
For a while, there were light pink bubbles, but now they've turned black.
The little figure inside the bubble is now standing at ease, facing the crowd.
Two little hands were clasped around the chubby boy's waist, his little chin was held high, his little eyebrows were drawn up into a V-shape, his little mouth was turned into a small arched mouth, and he glanced at Xiang Pengcheng with his eyes slanted.
The little girl seemed afraid others wouldn't know how she was feeling, so she had five big characters written on her forehead to illustrate it.
This means she's really angry!
The people who could see the bubbles had different feelings after seeing the little people inside them.
Qiao Changdong didn't care. He didn't save Fu Yu to get the Xiang family's gratitude. He just wanted to do it, and he only saved her because Qiao Qiao asked him to.
Shen Qingyan felt a mixture of envy and bitterness.
But he wasn't jealous. He knew that Qiao Changdong deserved it, and as long as he continued to stay with his daughter, he believed that one day, his daughter would care about him in the same way.
Fu Yu was originally talking to Madam Xiang.
Seeing the bubbles on Qiao Qiao's head, he immediately let go of the old lady Xiang who was still wiping away tears, walked over, and said to Xiang Pengcheng, "Uncle, this is Uncle Qiao and her sister. They saved me."
"Oh, I see. It seems I made a mistake. I'm sorry, Comrade Qiao." Xiang Pengcheng quickly made an apologetic gesture and expressed his apologies to Qiao Changdong.
He only expressed apology in his words, but his expression and actions showed no remorse whatsoever.
Her eyes were still fixed on Shen Qingyan over there.
Without even concealing his intentions, he turned to Xiang Xianglan and asked, "Xianglan, who is this comrade? Why don't you introduce him?"
"Uncle!" Fu Yu called out, somewhat angrily.
"Pengcheng." Old Master Xiang called out with a slightly serious tone, indicating that he should be mindful of the occasion. Even if he wanted to make connections, he should be careful not to make things awkward.
Yan Liti was a few steps behind everyone else, and she took in all of this.
If she had previously wondered how the Xiang family could raise a girl like Xiang Jiajia.
At this moment, she had no doubts whatsoever.
It's not fair to say that if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too, but it's certain that this family members each harbor their own ulterior motives.
What time is it now?
His nephew had been missing for more than half a year, and his sister was the culprit and even arrested. Yet, this uncle still had the mind to make connections!
Yan Liti glanced at Old Madam Xiang, who was wiping away tears, and thought to herself that Fu Yu's lawsuit against Xiang Jiajia and Fu Tengfei might not go so smoothly.
Sure enough, her wish came true.
The Xiang family ostensibly came to take Fu Yu back to the Xiang family and take good care of him, but in reality, they came to plead for Xiang Jiajia.
The old lady Xiang and Fu Yu's performance of grandmotherly affection lasted less than ten minutes before she began to reveal the true purpose of their visit.
