Extra episode 2 'Threads Penetrate'——When little sweetheart grows up, don't
Chapter 380
France, Paris.
Qiao's castle-style villa.
"Miss."
Seeing Qiao Si coming back, the servant standing in front of the villa door called out respectfully.
Qiao Si nodded, handed the bag in her hand to the servant, and walked into the villa tiredly.
The servant followed Qiao Si silently and asked with concern, "Miss, have you had dinner? Do you need me to instruct my servants to get you a meal?"
Qiao Si shook her head, held her forehead and sat down on the huge sofa in the hall, her tone was tired, "I'm not hungry... where is Rachel?"
"My little cutie was looking for you just now. I told you that you were doing errands outside. She ate something and then fell asleep."
When Qiao Si heard this, her frown gradually relaxed, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "The little baby is so good."
She has been immersed in worries for the past few days, and she can only forget her worries temporarily when she mentions her daughter.
"Yes, she is easy to coax and very sensible," the servant said.
Qiao Si was still smiling, but her head hurt a little, and she couldn't help but press her temples with her hands.
Seeing Qiao Si's tired look, the servant asked softly, "Miss, how was your visit to the law firm today?"
Qiao Si closed her eyes and answered very tiredly, "The situation is not optimistic... I have found the most powerful legal team, but they still don't have a very good chance of winning."
Yes, in the past two years, the Qiao family's inheritance case has been in dispute again.
The property of the Qiao family was originally awarded to the two brothers and sisters of the Qiao family after the death of Qiao Zuguang, the head of the Qiao family. However, because Qiao Zuguang did not run the family business alone during his lifetime, this made the relatives who had helped Qiao Zuguang feel unwilling to do so.
Therefore, after the judge awarded the property of the Qiao family to the two brothers and sisters of the Qiao family two years ago, those unwilling people of the Qiao family have been looking for opportunities to refute this judgment. Finally, recently, the relatives of the Qiao family who have joined forces have taken the trouble to dig out
The fact that Qiao Zuguang is not the true blood heir of the Qiao family is revealed, and Qiao Zuguang is required to repay the family property. This makes Qiao Si, who now owns the huge family property of the Qiao family, very troubled...
"Miss, I see that you haven't slept well in the past two days, nor have you eaten well. You have lost a lot of weight. Do you want to rest at home for two days? Anyway, there is still more than a month before the trial..." In Qiao's case,
The servant who watched Qiao Si grow up felt distressed.
Qiao Si sighed softly and slowly opened her eyes, "It would be great if daddy was still alive... With daddy here, I don't need to worry about this at all."
She finally understood an old Chinese saying - tea cools when you leave.
After his father's death, the entire Qiao family underwent changes.
It turned out to be a family that loved each other, but their father's death exposed their greedy nature.
Nowadays, the Qiao family's property is like a piece of fat, being stared at by those wild beasts showing their fangs, but she can only face it alone.
The servant looked at Qiao Si's tired look and stood there, hesitating to speak.
Qiao Si sighed and stood up immediately, "Forget it, the soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth. It's useless for me to worry."
The servant felt very sorry for Qiao Si pretending to be strong, because she knew better than anyone else that Qiao Si, who had been pampered and pampered since she was a child, had never suffered much. Now that she encountered such a big setback, it would be difficult for her to face it.
.
Seeing Qiao Si's thin figure as she went upstairs, the servant finally couldn't help but said, "Miss, why don't you go find Mr. Che?"
The servant's words made Qiao Si's thin figure pause, and her footsteps stopped on the stairs.
The servant said, "Miss, with Mr. Che here, those people will never dare to be so rampant, and Mr. Che will definitely be able to solve the problem at hand."
Qiao Si lowered her head and smiled slightly, "Mom, I can no longer rely on brother."
The servant wondered, "Why?"
Qiao Si shook her head and said nothing.
The servant continued, "Miss, I really don't understand Mr. Che... Since the death of the master, he rarely goes home. He clearly knows that he is the head of the family, but he doesn't care about the family affairs, so that
Forget it if you take on such a big burden of the family business alone, but now he still doesn't care about such a big thing as the family inheritance dispute...Does he still have feelings for this family?"
He has never had feelings for this family, or even the people in this family.
Naturally, Qiao Si didn't say these words, she just thought in her heart.
"Mom, stop talking... I have grown up and am a mother of a two-year-old child. I have learned to deal with problems maturely."
"Miss, do you want me to call Mr. Che?"
"No!" Qiao Si reacted a little excitedly, "Don't call him, I can handle the problem at hand."
"But……"
"Mom..."
Unable to resist Qiao Si's insistence and not daring to disobey Qiao Si's orders, the servant finally nodded, "Okay, I won't call."
Qiao Si smiled at the servant and said, "Trust me."
The servant sighed softly, "I just hope you can take good care of yourself and not be too tired."
"I will."
"Um."
"Mom, I'm going upstairs."
"Okay, I'll make you something to eat."
"Thanks."
…
Back in the room, Qiao Si put down the coat she took off and hurriedly came to a cradle in the room.
Her daughter Rachel is already two years old. She is sensible, well-behaved, and a sweetheart. However, she has a bad habit of sleeping in a cradle even after she is two years old.
But she is a mother who is used to *children*. When her child is so old and has to sleep in a cradle, she just clings to it...
Ever since, every night she rocked the cradle, talked to her child, and watched her child sleep. Only then did she feel no loneliness, and her heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction.
Recently, due to the recent inheritance dispute, she spent less time with her children, and she always felt guilty inside.
At this moment, Qiao Si looked at the cute little sweetheart sleeping, and couldn't help but kiss the little sweetheart on her tender cheek.
She especially likes her daughter, so she is very grateful to God for bringing her such a beautiful and lovely little sweetheart... She hopes that her daughter can be a beloved little princess like she was when she was a child.
After watching her daughter's sweet sleeping face beside the cradle for a long time, Qiao Si got up and went to take a bath.

China, T city.
On the terrace, Qiao Che drank a moderately strong brandy alone and quietly watched the bright night view of City T.
Compared to big cities like New York and Paris, which are romantic and have some of the most beautiful night views in the world, the night view of City T is mediocre, but Qiao Che has a unique affection for City T. When thinking about problems, he always likes to sit alone.
In this place where you can feel the wind, think quietly.
Tang Kai didn't know when he came behind Qiao Che, "Boss."
Qiao Che had noticed it, put down his wine glass, and said in a slightly soft voice, "Why are you here?"
"I have something to tell you." Tang Kai said.
"Sit down and have a drink with me before we talk!" Qiao Che poured a glass of wine for Tang Kai.
Tang Kai sat down and took the wine glass.
Qiao Che clinked glasses with Tang Kai, drank the wine in one gulp, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Tang Kai put down his wine glass gently, stood up straight, and said with a slightly cautious tone, "Miss Qiao Si has not been having a good time recently."
"oh?"
Tang Kai replied, "Robinson and Qiao Zumei have always coveted Qiao Zuguang's property. Now they have found out about Qiao Zuguang's blood lineage. They are currently in a lawsuit with Qiao Si to get Qiao Zuguang's property."
Qiao Che didn't react much and said calmly, "They are really brave."
"That's because you're not here." Tang Kai looked at Qiao Che tentatively, "If you were in France, they wouldn't dare to bully Miss Qiao Si like this."
"How did she cope?"
"Miss Joss spent a lot of money to hire a team of lawyers, but these lawyers are not very sure... mainly because the evidence held by Robinson is difficult to overturn."
"Um."
Qiao Che only answered Tang Kai softly and said nothing more.
Seeing Qiao Che's mediocre response, Tang Kai tried again, "Boss, the situation is very serious this time... If we are really defeated by Robinson and the others, Miss Qiao Si will have nothing."
"I thought I said that her matter has nothing to do with me." Qiao Che said almost coldly.
"But if Miss Qiao Si really has nothing, then Rachel..." Tang Kai did not dare to say more, and only secretly looked at Qiao Che's expression.
Although Qiao Che's expression was cold and there was even a hint of hatred in his eyes, the English name "rachel" took away the coldness from his eyes.
The next second, Qiao Chesen stood up coldly and said, "You have ruined my mood." As he said that, he walked out of the terrace.
It wasn't until he saw Qiao Che leaving that Tang Kai breathed a sigh of relief.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Qiao Si received the call from Tang Kai while playing with Rachel in the room.
When she first saw the call from Tang Kai, Qiao Si almost couldn't believe her eyes.
Letting Rachel go and letting her walk and play in the room, Qiao Si slowly pressed the answer button on her phone and whispered, "Hello..."
"Miss Joss."
"Tang Kai."
"The boss will go to France tomorrow."
Qiao Si stared, "He...he's back?"
Tang Kai said truthfully, "I told the boss about your recent situation."
Joss was still immersed in disbelief.
She had not seen or contacted him for more than half a year. She had never thought that he would suddenly come to France to find her.
She even thought that they would never meet again in this life.
"What is he here for?" She knew that he definitely didn't come back to help her, and she never thought about it.
"Of course it's to help you..."
Qiao Si said calmly, "I don't believe it."
"Maybe you can wait until the boss arrives."
"Thank you, Tang Kai."
She and Qiao Che had been separated for more than half a year, and Tang Kai often called to care about her. Of course she knew that this concern did not come from Qiao Che, so she was always grateful to Tang Kai.
"You're welcome, I just hope I can do something for you and the boss."
…
After ending the call, Qiao Si was absent-minded for a while.
Seeing Rachel waddling to the door, Joss ran over and hugged Rachel, "Hey, there are stairs outside. Didn't Mommy tell you that you can't run here alone?"
Rachel was wearing a pink dress and holding a teddy bear. She was so cute. Her onion-like fingers pointed at the stairs, "Down...down...Mommy..."
She wanted Joss to carry her and play.
Qiao Si smiled and kissed her daughter, "Okay, mommy will carry you downstairs to play."
After carrying her daughter to the first floor, Qiao Si played with her in the hall.
Rachel dragged the teddy bear waddling in the hall, making Joss laugh for a while.
Finally, Rachel got tired, dropped her teddy bear, came to José, hugged José's thigh, "Mommy..."
Knowing that her daughter wanted her to hug her, Qiao Si smiled and held her daughter on her lap.
The daughter grabbed the fabric on Qiao Si's chest and played with it, giggling happily. Qiao Si looked at her daughter's facial features that looked like someone's, and her heart suddenly felt a little sour.
Suddenly, Qiao Si put Rachel on the sofa standing up and said softly, "Rachel, someone is coming to the house tomorrow. Do you know who it is?"
Rachel looked at her mother sweetly, her long eyelashes blinking.
"It's your daddy, but you can't call him daddy, you can only call him uncle..."
Hearing what Qiao Si said, Rachel, who didn't quite understand, just widened her beautiful eyes, looking confused.
Qiao Si added, "Mommy will only mention this to you this time. Mommy will never replace the word 'daddy' with you in the future... My dear, when you grow up, you must not ask Mommy about this."
, because Mommy has answered you now, you know?"
Rachel looked at Qiao Si with misty eyes, not understanding what it meant, but nodded obediently.
Qiao Si kissed Rachel gently on the forehead, her eyes were inexplicably moist.
Rachel reached out and hugged Qiao Si, "Mommy, play..."
Qiao Si nodded, "Well, Mommy will play with you."

The next day.
The maid's mother was very excited when she learned the news from Qiao Si that Qiao Che was coming back.
"Really? Miss..." Pa's mother couldn't believe it and kept asking Qiao Si.
Qiao Si sat on the sofa in the living room and simply said, "Rachel is sleeping now. When Qiao Che comes, you can take her upstairs."
Mom said, "Master Che is back, don't I need to take care of him?"
Qiao Si shook her head, "He won't stay at home, and even if he does, he won't stay for a few nights."
The mother was stunned when she heard that, "Miss... what is going on between you and Mr. Che? You and Mr. Che have never been so cold before..."
"Mom, I can only tell you that everything has changed..."
"But Miss, your relationship with Mr. Che has always been..."
Before Pa's mother finished speaking, a servant hurried in from outside, "Miss, Miss, Master Che is back..."
Qiao Si was not excited and said to her mother, "Go upstairs and take care of Rachel!"
Mom nodded, turned and left.
…
When Qiao Che walked in from outside, he saw Qiao Si alone in the villa.
Qiao Si was sitting on the sofa in the villa, drinking coffee calmly, and there was also a cup of coffee opposite her, obviously waiting for him.
They hadn't seen each other for half a year. The moment she looked up and saw Qiao Che, even though there were all kinds of unspeakable emotions welling up in her heart, Qiao Si's face still didn't show any emotion at all.
"At this time, you still have the leisure to drink coffee, which really surprises me."
Qiao Che sat down opposite Qiao Si, his eyes falling lightly on Qiao Si.
The first impression is that she is thinner than half a year ago and looks more mature, but she is still very beautiful.
Qiao Si's eyes were fixed on Qiao Che's handsome face.
At first glance, he was still the Qiao Che she had known before, mature and restrained, with an extraordinary demeanor. However, his eyes no longer had the indulgence of the past, nor did he have the gentle voice of the past, leaving only disdain and indifference.
It seemed that he had been looking at her like this ever since he woke up...
She was a little uncomfortable at first. After all, he loved her so much before. Even though she was infatuated with another person and never paid attention to his love, but that's how people are. They don't cherish when they have it, and only miss it when they lose it.
…
Fortunately, he didn't hear what she said to him when he was unconscious, otherwise, she would definitely be embarrassed in front of him now.
Qiao Si took the coffee and took a sip, "Isn't it just a fight for property... I have won the fight once before, but I don't believe I will lose this time!"
Qiao Che leaned comfortably on the sofa, squinting at Qiao Si, with a smile on his lips, "Why show off in front of me."
"Whether I'm trying to be brave or not, this is my family matter... I'm curious, what are you doing here today?"
"Don't you want me to come back and help you?"
"Actually, I don't quite believe you will help me. After all, we have already parted ways, haven't we?"
"But nominally, I am still your brother. In the eyes of outsiders, our relationship has not changed."
"Why don't you tell me directly that I want your help and what do I need to do?"
"Sisi, you seem to have become a lot smarter in the past two years..." Looking at Qiao Si's calm face, Qiao Che curled his lips and smiled. Suddenly, he looked around and asked, "Where is my daughter?"
ps: I know some parents will ask whether Qiao Si gave birth to twins or a daughter, which will be explained in the article later. Regarding the story of Qiao Che and Qiao Si, Bing has the most ideas, the most expectations, and thinks it is the most exciting. I hope you will like it.
