Chapter 614: Chapter 613 Four Major Families Daily Life_1 Chapter 614: Chapter 613 Four Major Families Daily Life_1 Qiao Xiaren parked the car in the garage and got out.

“We are here, we finally made it.” The old man eagerly awaited, yelling towards the inside, holding Qiao Xiaren’s hand fondly and patting the back of her hand, “It’s good to be back, my granddaughter has gotten thin, running around and working hard in the remote areas must have been tough.”

In reality, they were used to Qiao Xiaren travelling all over the world.

This child surely went through a lot in the past.

“I am not tired, grandpa, how have you been?” Qiao Xiaren’s face blossomed into a smile, stepping forward to give the old man a hug. She felt somewhat guilty for not being around these past few days.

“Good, good, this old man is still in good shape, and your grandma is well too.” The old man hugged his granddaughter, leading her inside, “Your grandma misses you, let’s go inside quickly.”

Uncle Wu stood to the side, respectfully smiling, “Welcome home, missy.”

“Thank you, Uncle Wu.”

In the luxurious living room, several neatly-dressed maids were serving dishes back and forth. The exquisite dining table was set, chopsticks and bowls are ready, obviously dinner is about to start.

Bai Qiuqing just came back from a ladies’ flower exchange meeting, she saw Qiao Xiaren entering as she was washing her hands to sit at the dinner table and frowned, clearly displeased.

The Qiao family doesn’t acknowledge her, yet she still shows her face here every day?

A few days ago, she casually mentioned Qiao Xiaren in front of her husband, criticizing her openly and secretly for having no respect for elders. She thought Qiao Lin would side with her, only to find herself getting scolded instead.

Thinking about this, Bai Qiuqing could not help clenched her chopsticks tighter, she had lost her appetite.

“Xiaren is back.” Granny Qiao happily came over, “Come and eat quickly, are you starving? The chef has prepared the food, just hold on a little.”

“Okay.”

When Qiao Xiaren walked in, she saw several more people. The key figures from the four major families were basically all there, including Gu Ming, Shangguan Ye, Lu Qian, and others.

Elder Shangguan was sitting in the dining room, watching Qiao Xiaren coming over. He sensed her grace and sophistication, and her whole body exuded an air of noble elegance, just like on TV.

This presence alone had already won him over.

“Oh, Miss Qiao is back?” Elder Shangguan’s face glowed with health and vigor, “Come, come, today we have a full house with representatives from the four major families.”

“Grandfather Shangguan, you are here?”

Elder Shangguan replied with a laugh, then turned to scold Shangguan Ye quietly, his bushy brows raised and glaring eyes almost made everyone laugh.

Shangguan Ye poured himself a cup of wine, apologizing to Qiao Xiaren with a grin: “My bad, Xiaren, I was wrong this morning, don’t be angry, can you forgive your brother?”

Elder Shangguan turned to Qiao Xiaren, his expression becoming warm again, rubbing his hands together: “Ignore him, Xiaren. If he dares to wrong you, tell me, and I’ll teach him a lesson!”

With a feeling akin to having ten thousand alpacas trampling inside his heart, Shangguan Ye’s forehead displayed a few figurative lines of distress. Was this his real grandpa? Why did he feel so pitiful?

Pei Ningxuan couldn’t hold back a giggle and burst into laughter.

Qiao Xiaren raised her eyebrow slightly and laughed, “The one you should be apologizing to is not me, but you have ignored the one you really should say sorry to.”

“I really don’t understand why she has issues with Yitong. Before her sister died, she asked me to take good care of her. Shouldn’t I uphold that promise?”
