Then Qiao Sisi ran back again, her eyes misty and looking pitifully at Father and Mother Qiao.
Seeing Qiao Sisi so sad, Father and Mother Qiao forgot about Qiao Ci and kept comforting her.
Qiao Ci felt complicated about the scene before her. Shouldn't the person who needed comfort most be the original host, this girl who was tragically swapped at birth, neglected by her grandmother, and unloved by her father for over a decade?
Although she still wanted to live with her cub, Qiao Ci held back. After saying goodbye to Qi Che, Qiao Ci was officially living in the Qiao family.
Next, Father and Mother Qiao called the police to investigate the original circumstances of the matter.
Qiao Sisi never expected that her little prank would result in her being revealed as the fake Qiao family daughter. She was already accustomed to the life of a wealthy young lady and didn't want to return to her biological parents' home.
Therefore, she treated Father and Mother Qiao even better and began to act submissively in front of Qiao Ci.
Her actions successfully made Father and Mother Qiao feel more sympathetic towards her. They even declared in front of Qiao Ci that they would fight for her custody and that she would forever be their daughter.
Qiao Ci could clearly feel that in this family, only her brother Qiao Xu welcomed her. The behavior of her parents made her feel like an outsider.
In the morning, Qiao Ci finished washing up and got out of bed for breakfast.
Mother Qiao made toast, fried eggs, and milk, all of which Qiao Sisi loved.
In a corner where Mother Qiao couldn't see, Qiao Sisi gave Qiao Ci a provocative smile, as if to say that being born to them meant nothing, she was still an outsider.
"Are you very smug?" Qiao Ci said, startling everyone.
Qiao Sisi didn't expect Qiao Ci to voice it, and she felt disdain. She figured someone raised in a common family would show everything on their face. She feigned a surprised and wronged expression, "Qiao Ci, I, did I do something wrong?"
Fearing that her well-behaved daughter Qiao Sisi might be unhappy after Qiao Ci moved in, Father Qiao looked disapprovingly at Qiao Ci, "Don't talk while eating, and don't talk while sleeping. Little Ci, you still have a lot to learn."
Seeing her biological daughter being criticized, Mother Qiao's maternal instincts stirred. She said to Qiao Ci, "It's okay, it's okay. Little Ci just came back, don't be too harsh on her."
This statement, however, solidified Qiao Ci's perceived lack of manners.
Qiao Xu quickly comforted his biological sister, "Dad is usually serious. Don't overthink it. Eat your breakfast quickly, and I'll take you to school later."
Qiao Sisi glanced at Qiao Xu with some resentment. In all her years, her brother had never taken her to school, yet he was going to take Qiao Ci.
Could their more than ten years of sibling affection truly be less important than blood relations?
"Why are you looking at Qiao Xu with such resentment?"
At this moment, Qiao Ci's cool voice sounded again.
Father Qiao: ...
Mother Qiao: ... httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Qiao Xu subconsciously looked at Qiao Sisi. At this moment, Qiao Sisi's resentful expression hadn't had time to fade.
Qiao Sisi: ...
She immediately looked wronged, shook her head gently, bit her lip, and sobbed, "Mom, I didn't. Please believe me."
Mother Qiao's maternal love surged. After comforting Qiao Sisi, she looked at Qiao Ci with disappointment in her eyes, "Qiao Xu, you take Qiao Ci to school first."
Qiao Xu still had some doubts about Qiao Sisi's strange look just now. Hearing this, he got up, "Little sister, let's go. Big brother believes you."
Qiao Sisi's eyes were about to well up with tears. She directly buried her face in Mother Qiao's arms and sobbed.
Father Qiao couldn't stand it any longer. He threw his chopsticks down and said, "What a mess! Qiao Xu, you don't have to go to the company today. First, learn how to be a brother and how to treat everyone equally!"
Qiao Ci stubbornly refused to leave. Instead, she looked at Father Qiao and asked, "Don't you believe what I just said?"
Father Qiao met Qiao Ci's gaze. He felt a sense of displeasure towards his newly recognized daughter. She was already causing so much trouble right after arriving. He felt she would eventually break up the family.
So he prepared to discipline Qiao Ci: "I know you haven't had a good life in that family all these years, and I know you hate that Sisi stole all those years of parental affection from you. But Sisi is also innocent. We've been with her for over a decade, and we know her character. You need to get along with her..."
Qiao Ci nodded, with an expression of sudden realization, "I understand. You just don't believe me."
Seeing her still stubbornly unrepentant, Father Qiao was about to continue lecturing when Qiao Ci lowered her head and tapped on her phone a few times, displaying the screen to him.
Father Qiao met Qiao Sisi's smug expression, and after a moment, it changed to a resentful one.
Little Spoon couldn't hold back in the space.
The host has become addicted to filming!
In the previous small world, she kept exposing Feng Fuling and Chang Yan's deeds with memory crystal balls. Ever since coming to this world, she's been carrying her phone around, collecting expressions, hahaha.
Qiao Sisi didn't expect Qiao Ci to have recorded her expression just now. Her face turned from pale to red.
Qiao Ci also spoke up to explain, "I originally wanted to secretly film the warm scene of our family's first meal together, but I didn't expect to capture these. You don't have to believe me about your decade-long relationship with Qiao Sisi, but you should believe the evidence, right? I'm done eating. Brother, let's go."
Father and Mother Qiao looked at each other. Father Qiao said sternly, "Sisi, you come to the study with me!"
Mother Qiao had wronged Qiao Ci and was feeling uncertain, so she didn't speak up for Qiao Sisi.
"Little sister, wait for me!" Qiao Xu, who was impressed by Qiao Ci's actions, quickly followed.
Qiao Ci sat in the passenger seat, and Qiao Xu chuckled, "As expected of my biological sister, this little brain is so smart. How did you know she would show you that smug expression?"
"Do I even need to think about it? If she didn't show off, how would I be jealous? How would she make more mistakes?" Qiao Ci's expression was indifferent, as if she were discussing what to eat today.
"Little Ci, do you hate Mom and Dad for keeping Qiao Sisi?" Qiao Xu suddenly asked very seriously.
"Someone who occupied my life for eighteen years and will continue to occupy my parents' affection, I probably hate them," Qiao Ci analyzed the original host's feelings.
"I know you're upset. Don't worry, when big brother can stand on his own, I'll pick you up, and we won't live with her." Blood relations are truly mysterious. All his life, he never liked Qiao Sisi, but from the first moment he met his biological sister Qiao Ci, he liked her immensely.
"Okay." It's no wonder the original host's wish included her brother. This brother was truly good to her as a sister. Unfortunately, his life was too short. All she could do was help him avoid that car accident and live a safe life.
Last night, Qi Che had wanted to prepare Qiao Ci's room. Now that she had returned to the Qiao family, she probably wouldn't be coming back.
However, he hesitated for a long time and still didn't move. He didn't know what he was thinking. While cleaning in the morning, he also mopped the floor in the room Qiao Ci had stayed in.
