Episode 2 'Threads Penetrate'—Brother, we can be brothers again
Chapter 407
Qiao Si has always wanted to find a chance to apologize to Qiao Che.
In fact, the last time she said that to him, she regretted it very much afterwards...
No matter what, his starting point was to help her, but she refused his help willfully...
At that time, she felt that there was nothing wrong with such behavior. After all, she could not rely on him forever, and she did not need his hypocritical help...
Thinking about it now, her thinking at that time was really immature.
How can emotional matters be confused with family matters?
Although their relationship is stiff, they are brother and sister. They grew up together and have so many memories together. They should love each other...
If we can't be lovers, why should we be enemies?
Why let each other evolve to the point where even saying hello becomes awkward?
They don't have any relatives, they are each other's closest person, and as long as they both want, they can still be brothers and sisters...
She is still willing to care about him and be his closest sister.
…
Taking a deep breath, Qiao Si finally reached out and knocked lightly on the door.
A few seconds later, she heard steady footsteps.
Her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, and she could only hold her breath.
When Qiao Che opened the door and saw her, he was obviously a little surprised and raised his eyebrows slightly.
She was very nervous when she didn't see him, but when she came face to face with him, her heart calmed down.
"elder brother."
She took the initiative to call out.
Qiao Che ignored her and turned around and walked into the room.
When he turned around, she smelled the fresh scent of his fresh bath.
Qiao Che wore a bathrobe, walked to the wine cabinet in the room, and poured himself a glass of wine.
Jose looked apologetic, because his room was empty, except for a bed and the wine cabinet that could not be moved, there was almost nothing in it.
Empty his room, this is what she did immaturely before.
"I didn't throw away your things. I asked my mother to pack them and put them in a storage room downstairs. If you are willing, I will ask my mother to put all your things in their original places tomorrow."
Qiao Che drank whiskey, and after one sip, his throat felt like it was burning.
He just listened to her and said nothing.
Qiao Si walked up to Qiao Che and said calmly, "Brother, I apologize for what I said to you last time."
"Why do you need to apologize to me?" Qiao Che's voice was cold and without any warmth.
She thought he would never talk to her again...
"It was my willfulness and ignorance that made me refuse your help." Qiao Si took the initiative to admit her mistake.
Qiao Che glanced at Qiao Si lightly, "Are you apologizing to me?"
"Yes, I apologize to you."
Qiao Che's eyes became slightly softer and stopped on her beautiful face.
Qiao Si hung her neck and said quietly, "The Qiao family has been torn apart, and we are the only ones left... I think my father's spirit in heaven doesn't want to see us fall apart... I think we should just pretend that nothing happened in the past.
, because in terms of debt, your love for me in those years far exceeded your use of me in those years... So, let’s put all the things in the past to this day, I hope that we are still the closest people."
She didn't know what kind of reaction she would get from him when she said these words. Her heart was pounding, but no matter what the outcome was, she was mentally prepared.
Qiao Che looked at Qiao Si with a deep look in his eyes, which was finally replaced by a look of relief.
"Brother, the Qiao family needs you, and I need you too... I hope that when I encounter difficulties that I can't solve, I can still rely on my brother."
She kept emphasizing the word "brother", as if she was drawing a clearer line between them.
Qiao Che just looked at her and didn't respond.
The atmosphere became a little awkward because of his lack of response.
Qiao Si chuckled to resolve the embarrassment, "Um...it's late, I'm going to bed...good night, brother."
Turning around, Qiao Si walked out of his room with a stiff smile.
…
After returning to her room and locking the door, Qiao Si's tense body finally relaxed.
Taking a deep breath, Qiao Si leaned against the door panel calmly.
She really felt that she had grown up. If it were before, she would never have said these words to him, but now, her thoughts have matured and she has more things to consider...
There's no way she doesn't need him...
In the future, there will be many things in the Qiao family that she cannot handle alone. She needs his help.
In the past, I was only thinking about myself and never considered the Qiao family. Now I realize that my original thoughts were too immature...
Maybe they should all think about the Qiao family.
He was willing to return to the Qiao family the day before his father passed away, which shows that in his heart he still hopes that the Qiao family can be glorious for a hundred years...
Since they both intend to make the Qiao family better, why can't they live in harmony?
Let the past be buried in the past with the passage of time. From now on, they are just brother and sister, trying their best to protect the Qiao family.

The next day.
Rachel held Qiao Si's hand and jumped downstairs.
"Mommy, why do you have to wear black clothes when you go to see grandpa?"
"Because black represents solemnity and solemnity, which is a sign of respect for grandpa."
"oh……"
"Mommy, uncle is also wearing black!" Rachel suddenly said.
Qiao Si followed Rachel's line of sight and saw Qiao Che sitting in the hall at the moment.
He was wearing a black suit and looked very handsome.
Mama walked up to Qiao Si and said, "Miss, Mr. Qiao has been waiting for you for a long time."
"oh."
At this moment, Qiao Che put on his sunglasses and stood up.
Qiao Si quickly picked up Rachel and followed Qiao Che.
…
Qiao Che and Qiao Si were not in the same car, so they arrived at the cemetery one after another.
When Qiao Si came to her father's tombstone, Qiao Che was already standing in front of his father's tombstone holding a bunch of yellow chrysanthemums.
Qiao Si held two bouquets of yellow chrysanthemums in one hand and walked to the tombstone while holding Rachel, who held a single yellow chrysanthemum in her hand.
Qiao Si put the flowers down and closed her eyes in silence.
Rachel followed Mommy's example and placed the flowers in front of her grandfather's tombstone, and also closed her eyes like Mommy.
Qiao Si closed her eyes, remembering her father's voice and smile, feeling sad and her eyes turning red.
Qiao Che's face was covered in black, and no one could see his expression at this moment.
Daddy, I miss you so much...
Qiao Si expressed her longing for her father from the bottom of her heart, and scenes of her father loving her ran through her mind.
…
When leaving the cemetery, Qiao Si's eyes were still red.
Rachel held Qiao Si's hand and was jumping up and down, not knowing how sad today was.
When walking out of the cemetery gate, Qiao Si discovered that Qiao Che's car was not intended to go back to Qiao's villa...
Yesterday, she heard Tang Kai say that he would return to New York today, and his car seemed to be heading towards the airport at the moment...
She hasn't gotten the answer from him yet to what she told him yesterday, so she must get the answer before he leaves.
Carrying Rachel to her mother who was following her, Qiao Si walked to Qiao Che's car, "Brother..."
He was wearing sunglasses so that she could not see his emotions at the moment.
Qiao Si said nervously, "Have you considered what I told you yesterday?"
"I will go back to Paris in a week... Then I will bring your sister-in-law to get to know you." He looked down at a document that seemed to need to be processed and answered her calmly.
What Qiao Che said before made Qiao Si very happy, because it meant that they had settled their differences, but what he added later made her stunned for a moment.
sister in law……
She never imagined that she would need to use this title in her life...
It seems that he is referring to Yin Ruolan.
She didn't expect that the relationship between them would develop so quickly, and he would actually admit Yin Ruolan's identity to her personally...
Qiao Si thought she wouldn't feel uncomfortable at this moment, but the sharp sting in her heart made her stagger...
The servant on the side quickly stepped forward to help her, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Qiao Si stood firm and shook her head, "I...I'm fine, let's go back!"
…
While her mother was playing with Rachel downstairs, Qiao Si returned to the room and leaned on her head alone.
After being silent in her thoughts for a long time, her cell phone rang.
The person who called her the most these days was Li Chengyao, so she took the phone and without looking at the number displayed on the screen, she put the phone to her ear in a daze, "Hey..."
"Tidy up my room. I will live at home next month."
The familiar soft voice in her ears made Qiaosi sit up straight, "...Brother."
Qiao Che said "Huh" and ended the call.
Qiao Si put down her phone blankly, feeling a little confused.
At this moment, her cell phone rang again...
This time, the number displayed on the mobile phone screen was exactly the three words "Li Chengyao".
Inexplicably, at this moment, she didn't want to answer Li Chengyao's call. She just wanted to stay quietly for a while...
She pressed the silent button on the ringing mobile phone and placed it on the bedside table. She stared blankly at the floor-to-ceiling windows of the room, lost in her thoughts.
