After Qu Xiaoxiao and Zhao Qiping returned to their room, they sat on the bay window with heavy hearts, looking at the night view of the manor downstairs.

"What's wrong? You look listless after just coming back from dinner."

In the past, Qu Xiaoxiao was always full of energy in front of Zhao Qiping, as if she had endless energy, but now she looks listless, which makes Zhao Qiping worried.

"Dia Zhao, did you also see that President Wei looked at Zimu with a particularly contemptuous look at the beginning, so he held me back and didn't let me say anything to him?"

"You're such a bad-mouthed person, and he looked at your good sister with that kind of eyes. You're so angry that you definitely can't say anything nice, but President Wei is also Andy's friend, and both of them are your good sisters, so it won't look good if you quarrel with them."

"Zi Mu is a very capable girl. She has achieved all her success on her own. Mr. Tan, as her boyfriend and fiancé, may have helped her a little, but the one she has relied on the most to get to where she is now is herself."

Zhao Qiping sat opposite Qu Xiaoxiao, stroking her short hair and asked patiently: "Well, so what do you want to say?"

"I feel that Mr. Wei initially thought Zimu was Mr. Tan's lover. He saw Zimu refilling Mr. Tan's tea, so he had a preconceived notion of looking down on her."

"Well, that's a correct analysis."

"Then, before the manor owner, Mr. Xu, came, during the meal, even though Mr. Tan was serving food and pouring tea for Zimu, the look he gave Zimu was very meaningful."

"Um"

"He must have been thinking that Zimu was a high-level gold digger, so she could control Mr. Tan." Qu Xiaoxiao was really annoyed by men who looked down on women from the bottom of their hearts.

"He looks down on women from the bottom of his heart. After he knew who Zimu was, his attitude changed 180 degrees. Zhao, it's President Wei who makes me feel even more uncomfortable."

"What's wrong with you?" Zhao Qiping hugged the petite Qu Xiaoxiao in his arms, resting his chin on his girlfriend's head, and smelling the fragrance emanating from his girlfriend's hair.

"Humph, that Mr. Wei reminds me of my father who insisted on handing over the business he and his remarried wife had worked hard to build to his ex-wife's son just because I was his daughter. It was so disgusting, really so disgusting."

After Qu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she recalled her grandmother's undisguised disgust and difficulty with her and her mother, and how her mother had to compromise again and again because of her grandmother's words that she didn't care about the family, and finally chose to return home. In the end, she had no say and could only watch her husband's ex-wife's son successfully enter the company.

She had seen her mother sighing alone in the dark countless times in the middle of the night, and the next day her mother looked like a good wife and mother again.

"Xiaoxiao, don't be sad." Zhao Qiping patted Qu Xiaoxiao's back gently and comforted her: "It's not your fault that your father's actions and ideas are problematic. Your brother can only inherit half of your father's assets. Besides, I think you are very outstanding and work very hard."

Qu Xiaoxiao sighed, "I just can't help thinking about these things sometimes. Sister Fan is the same. Just because she is a girl, she has to be sucked blood by her whole family. If she hadn't met Zimu, I don't know how long it would take for her to get rid of her original family."

"Sister Fan told me that she didn't want me to lose to Qu Lianjie and wanted a girl to win for once. Dia Zhao, if one day my parents...what should I do? Do I really have to tear my father apart for the family property?"

Zhao Qiping hugged Qu Xiaoxiao tightly and said, "I may understand your worries, but don't worry, your mother loves you very much, and so do I. At most, I can support you and your mother-in-law at the same time."

"Oh, Doctor Zhao, I'm so touched." She looked up at Zhao Qiping, with a determined light in her eyes: "Thank you, Dia Zhao, thank you for supporting me so much."

Zhao Qiping smiled and kissed Qu Xiaoxiao's forehead: "This is what I should do. You are my favorite little Qu Xiaoxiao. As long as you don't break the law, I will always support you."

-----------------

"Your little sister Qu Xiaoxiao does seem to be very loyal. If her boyfriend hadn't restrained her during the meal just now, she would have jumped out to confront Wei Wei."

Tan Zongming didn't know why there were always such chivalrous men around his fiancée, Xia Xiaocheng in the past and Qu Xiaoxiao now.

"Are you trying to say that Xiao Qu and Xiao Chengzi look alike?" Zi Mu glanced at Tan Zongming unhappily and continued, "Just say what you want to say. When did you start beating around the bush?"

"No, I don't dare. I just think that the two of them will definitely become good friends. Unfortunately, I heard from Lao Xia that his sister still wants to continue her studies."

That being said, Tan Zongming was thinking that Xiao Qu was afraid of him and would not deliberately cause trouble for him. However, Xia Xiaocheng was completely different. The girl was still thinking about asking her brother to steal her away.

He has two identities: the younger sister of his best friend and the childhood friend of his dear wife. He can't scold her, he doesn't dare to hit her, and he feels aggrieved when he tries to please her. There is no one in the world who is more aggrieved than him.

When Zimu saw that Tan Zongming's face looked a little strange when he talked about Xia Xiaocheng, he knew that he was thinking about the four years in Kyoto when Xia Xiaocheng had been causing trouble for him from time to time.

The scene where Tan Zongming was so angry with his best friend that he had a stomachache was still vivid in Zimu's mind. She quickly hugged her poor fiancé.

The moonlight outside the window was just right, and the two people became more and more ambiguous under the dim yellow light.

Tan Zongming took advantage of Zimu's little guilt and maximized the benefits he could get. He showed off himself a lot that night.

Zimu woke up around noon the next day. When he saw Tan Zongming's flattering smile, he was furious. If it weren't for the fact that Rongtuan had improved his physical fitness, he would have been torn apart by him long ago.

Thinking of this, Zi Mu glared at Tan Zongming fiercely again and cursed him as a beast in his heart.

"Wife, are you awake? Lunch will be delivered soon. Be good and drink some water first." Tan Zongming handed her a glass of water in a fawning manner.

Zimu originally wanted to reach out to get the water, but seeing that Tan Zongming had no intention of letting go, he simply took a sip from his hand to moisten his throat.

"Beast!"

"Yes, I know I was wrong. I am a beast. I will be more careful next time."

Tan Zongming rubbed Zimu's waist like a servile person. He felt a little distressed when he heard Zimu's slightly hoarse voice.

At this time, the doorbell rang and lunch was delivered.

After Zimu finished washing up after being helped by Tan Zongming, he sat down and enjoyed a sumptuous lunch.

After dinner, Zimu leaned back on the sofa and looked at Tan Zongming who was diligently helping her choose clothes. She said, "Forget it this time. If there's a next time, I'll..."

Tan Zongming nodded repeatedly: "You are very busy. You usually spend more time with your group of sisters than I do. Otherwise, this wouldn't happen."
