Episode 2 'The Silkies Penetrate'——Pushing you away is my strength
Chapter 399
Tang Kai got out of the car with Rachel in his arms.
Rachel's eyes remained on Qiao Che in front of her.
She looked a little disappointed, and held Tang Kai tightly with her little hand, "Uncle Tang, does uncle not like me?"
Tang Kai was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why does Rachel think so?"
Rachel lowered her head and muttered, "Uncle doesn't seem to want to talk to me."
"That's what your uncle is like. It's not that he doesn't like Rachel."
"Oh...Uncle Tang, when will mommy come to pick me up?"
Tang Kai walked into the villa with Rachel in his arms and said, "It should be soon."
"I miss mommy..." Rachel's voice suddenly became sour.
"Be good, your mommy will be here soon..." Tang Kai comforted in a low voice.
"But I miss mommy..." Rachel pursed her lips, looking very pitiful.
"Uncle Tang, please call your mommy now and ask her to pick you up as soon as possible, okay?"
"good."
Tang Kai kissed Rachel on the cheek, then took out his cell phone and called Qiao Si, but unfortunately Qiao Si's call was not connected.
In order to appease the child, Tang Kai had to pretend to make a call and talk a lot on the phone.
Rachel stopped crying now.
…
Qiao Che did not expect that Rachel would run in while he was doing business in New York in the study.
"uncle……"
Rachel held a ball of blocks in her hand and walked toward him unsteadily.
Qiao Che frowned, "Tang Kai, Tang Kai..."
He called his men's names, but they did not appear in front of him at the moment.
Qiao Che got up a little irritably.
Qiao Che was about to leave the study, but suddenly, his leg was entangled with something and he could no longer move. He frowned and looked down. Sure enough, Rachel put the toy on the floor aside and was hugging her tightly.
Holding his thigh, she raised her head and smiled at him.
"Uncle...teach me how to play..." Rachel shouted sweetly.
I don't know why, but she just likes to stick to Qiao Che.
"Go away." Although Qiao Che's voice was not serious, there was no tenderness at all.
"Uncle, teach me..."
"I said go away." Qiao Che wanted to pull away his legs, but Rachel held her tightly, like an octopus, and couldn't pull away.
"Tang Kai? Mrs. Chen?" Qiao Che looked around and saw no one, "Damn..." What are you doing? Where have everyone gone?
Qiao Che had no choice but to compromise. He bent down and said in a negotiating tone, "Let me go and I'll help you put the blocks together, okay?"
Rachel nodded obediently, "Okay."
With that said, Rachel's chubby little hands let go of Qiao Che.
Qiao Che should have walked out of the study directly, but Rachel's childish and expectant eyes made him stop.
"uncle……"
The little girl's soft and squirming voice made Qiao Che's heart soften inexplicably. He picked up the blocks on the ground and began to build for Rachel.
Rachel stood beside Qiao Che's legs and looked at Qiao Che seriously.
This is the first time Qiao Che has looked at Rachel up close like this...
Only then did he realize how cute she was.
The golden sunshine in the afternoon shone in from the window behind her, giving a dazzling halo to the top of her soft hair. If she added two wings, she would look like a cute little angel in a Western mural.
Her little face is chubby, white and tender, her cheeks are as rosy as apples, and her rosy cherry mouth is biting her finger at the moment.
She looks so much like Joss...
Seeing Qiao Che finally finishing the building blocks, Rachel hugged him and gave Qiao Che a sweet smile.
Seeing Rachel's angelic and cute smile, Qiao Che smiled intuitively. He almost wanted to reach out and pick up Rachel's chubby little body, but the sound of hurried footsteps woke him up.
"rachel..."
came Qiao Si's anxious voice.
"Mommy..." Rachel ran out.
"Rachel..." Qiao Si picked up Rachel and hugged her tightly.
Rachel didn't know the relationship between adults, so she just asked Qiao Si happily, "Mommy, look... do the blocks my uncle helped me build look good?"
Qiao Si looked at the building blocks in Rachel's hand and was startled.
"Uncle is so smart... He knows how to build a house without reading the instructions..." Although the child is almost three years old, she still doesn't speak very clearly, so she says "instructions" instead of "instructions."
Qiao Si did not express any opinion on this matter, only scolded her daughter softly, "Didn't Mommy tell you that you can't leave with anyone without Mommy's permission?"
Rachel's innocent eyes were full of confusion, "But, he is an uncle..."
The child's words blocked Qiao Si's mouth.
Yes, he is the child's "uncle"...
"Miss Qiao Si, don't worry...the boss won't do anything to the little miss." Tang Kai came to Qiao Si's side at some point and comforted her.
However, Qiao Si was not at ease. She held Rachel into Tang Kai's hands and said calmly, "Please help me take care of her."
Tang Kai nodded.
Qiao Si then walked to the study.

"Why do you want my mom to pack my things and use Rachel to threaten me to come back?"
As soon as she entered the door, Qiao Si said to Qiao Che, who was sitting behind the desk and looking down at the documents.
Qiao Che didn't even raise his head and said indifferently, "A shabby apartment is not suitable for you. You need to move back."
"You don't need to worry about where I live, and you have no right to ask me to move back."
Her aggressive tone made him frown, and he raised his head. He put down the documents at hand and looked at her with a faint gaze, "As the future leader of the Qiao family, what do you mean by living in such a low-cost apartment?!
!”
"This is my own choice, I don't need you to control it."
"You don't need my care, or are you simply afraid of living under the same roof with me?" Qiao Che stood up coldly, and his tall figure came to her, looking at her with eyes without any warmth.
Qiao Si was stunned.
Qiao Che's eyes were blazing, "As the eldest lady of the Qiao family, I have never taken the family's responsibilities into my heart and acted emotionally. Do you think you can become independent like this?"
Qiao Si's nose was sore after being scolded by him, "I don't want you to worry about it."
"If it weren't for the fact that Qiao Zuguang raised me, I would naturally not care about you."
"I don't need you to pretend to talk about the nurturing kindness of the Qiao family. You are helping me just for Rachel. You are afraid that I will not be able to take care of Rachel in the future."
She knew that although he didn't love Rachel, he still had fatherly love for Rachel...
He doesn't like Rachel just because he doesn't like her.
"It's good that you know, so... just move back here and I will teach you how to run the Qiao family's winery in the next month."
"I don't need your teaching..." Qiao Si looked at him steadily.
Qiao Che narrowed his eyes, "What did you say?"
Qiao Si took a deep breath and said, "I said... I don't need your teaching or your help."
Qiao Che smiled coldly, "Are you sure you are talking to me now?"
"I'm sure."
A trace of anger condensed in Qiao Che's dark eyes, but was gradually replaced by depth.
Qiao Che nodded, his tone gentle, as if he didn't have the slightest emotion, "You can repeat it after me."
"I said I don't need your care or your help."
"You think now is the time to vent your anger on me?" Qiao Che gritted his teeth.
Qiao Si endured the pain in her heart, "I didn't vent my anger on you, what I told you was what I wanted to say from the bottom of my heart... You and I are not friends, nor brothers and sisters, nor are we *, why do you interfere?
About my family?"
Qiao Che didn't speak for a long time.
Their eyes met, and his expression was stiff and cold.
She knew she had angered him, but her expression remained firm.
The silence between them was as heavy as lead.
Finally, Guan Hao laughed darkly, and his sarcastic voice filled the entire study.
"Okay, very good. I appreciate your courage." He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the study room and punched the white wall hard with his fist.
She didn't speak. Seeing him angry, she was a little scared, but she didn't regret saying those words to him.
He picked up the wine on the desk and drank it in one gulp, then broke the wine glass and looked at her coldly, "Qiao Si, you can take care of yourself."
His eyes were so cold that it chilled her.
The next second, he walked straight out of the study.
Qiao Si stared blankly at Qiao Che's leaving figure, tears gushing from her eyes.
Everything was as she expected, that night, Qiao Che completely left her world.
…
Standing by the window and watching the white car leave, tears slipped silently from Qiao Si's eyes.
Knock, knock...
There was a knock on the door.
Qiao Si quickly wiped away the tears around her eyes, and the visitor had already walked in.
It's my mother.
"Miss, you ran back all of a sudden, I was worried to death..."
"I'm fine, I don't have a fever anymore."
The pa’s mother reached out and touched Qiao Si’s forehead, making sure that Qiao Si’s fever had subsided, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Even if Mr. Qiao brings Rachel back, you don’t have to be in such a hurry... Mr. Qiao is not a bad person, no matter what.
Said he is also Rachel’s father.”
Qiao Si took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, Mom, I want to go wash my face..."
"Wait a minute, miss, why are you crying...Did Mr. Qiao bully you?"
Qiao Si shook her head, tears overflowed from her eyes disobediently.
Mom was frightened and rushed forward to help Qiao Si, "Miss..."
Qiao Si stretched out her arms and hugged her mother tightly, and cried out in pain, "Mom, I feel so uncomfortable... I don't want his sympathy and pity, so I pushed him away completely..."

Because she had already had a premonition, Qiao Si did not feel surprised when the lawyer came to her door the next day.
"Ms. Qiao, I am Mr. Qiao's lawyer."
Qiao Si sat on the sofa calmly and nodded, "Hello."
The lawyer took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Qiao Si.
"Mr. Qiao asked me to draft this gift agreement. Please take a look and ask me if you have any questions."
Qiao Si took the document and scanned it with focused eyes.
The content of the document was roughly as she had guessed before, that he had donated 70% of Qiao's equity to her.
In other words, if she signs the agreement in her hand, everything in the Qiao family will belong to her and will have nothing to do with him.
The lawyer said, "Ms. Qiao, do you think there is a problem?"
Qiao Si came back to her senses and shook her head, "No problem."
"Then just sign this document..."
Qiao Si nodded blankly, and then took the pen handed over by the lawyer.
When she started writing, she hesitated.
Signing this agreement means that he and she will never have anything to do with each other again...
The tip of the pen trembled at her fingertips. Finally, she squeezed her thighs tightly and signed her name in the lower right corner of the document.
…
After the lawyer left, Qiao Si sat quietly on the sofa.
After a long time, Rachel's voice interrupted her meditation.
"Mommy..."
"Um."
Rachel patted her deflated belly and said pitifully, "I'm hungry."
Qiao Si stood up and hugged Rachel, "Can Mommy make you a cake?"
"Can Mommy do it?" Rachel looked deeply skeptical.
Qiao Si said, "If you don't know how to be a mom, you can learn... Mommy will definitely not let Rachel starve."
Rachel innocently asked Qiao Si, "Can't Mommy let Grandma Pa do it?"
Qiao Si kissed Rachel's fair face and said seriously, "Mommy can't rely on others for everything. Mommy must learn to take care of herself and Rachel."
…
Rachel sat on a chair in the dining room, shaking her legs and watching her mother making cakes.
The cake Joss made was based on memory...
She remembered that she wanted to eat cake once when she was a child, but it was late at night and she couldn't buy it anywhere, so she had to beg Qiao Che...
Qiao Che didn't pay much attention to her at that time, but he couldn't resist her pleas and finally had to come to the kitchen.
She was just like Rachel is now, sitting on a chair at the dining table, swaying her legs and waiting for him to make the cake...
At that time, she felt that he was the most perfect person in the world, because there seemed to be no problems in the world that he could not solve...
She watched him beat eggs and make dough...
It was obvious that the gentleman was far away from the kitchen, but when he was seriously making cakes for her, he was so handsome that she fell in love with him.
Soon the tart-style cake will be out of the oven...
She remembered that it was the best cake she had ever eaten in her life.
"Mommy, are you ready? Rachel is so hungry..." The little girl finally got tired of waiting, climbed off the chair, walked to Qiao Si, and looked at her eagerly.
Joss made the kitchen a mess, with flour and egg shells everywhere, and even her face turned into a white tabby cat...
"Okay, okay, it'll be fine soon..."
She didn’t know if she would succeed this time, but when she walked to the oven, she was so anxious to take out the cake that she forgot to wear gloves...
"ah!"
The hot temperature of the plate caused José to knock over all the cakes...
"Ah, Mommy!!" Rachel was also startled, but luckily she jumped away in time.
Qiao Si knelt down and hugged her daughter immediately, "Rachel, are you okay..."
Rachel's face turned pale with fright, but she shook her head blankly.
Qiao Si hugged Rachel tightly and choked with sobs, "Isn't Mommy so useless? She can't do anything."
Rachel shook her head slightly, but her eyes fell on the burnt cakes on the ground.
This is already the third time she has cooked it, but it is still not even golden brown.
Qiao Si said in embarrassment, "No...it's okay. Mommy is going to bake again...but Rachel is already starving, isn't she?"
Rachel nodded.
Qiao Si then picked up Rachel and said, "Let's go, Mommy will learn later. Go and fill Rachel's belly first."
ps: Dear friends, where is the monthly ticket you agreed on?
