"I'm sorry." Gu Mian apologized earnestly, and handed over a piece of candy wrapped in pink sugar wrapper: "Eat a piece of candy, it won't hurt."

candy?It doesn't match Gu Mian at first glance.

Qiao Shuang raised her head aggrievedly, looked at Gu Mian, who had a cold face but apologetic eyes, blinked, and obediently took the candy over, and said softly, "En."

Reaching out her hand to wipe away the teardrops still hanging from the corners of her eyes, Gu Mian said as gently as possible: "There are more after eating."

Chapter 10

The sweet peach flavor spread in his mouth, and Qiaoshuang pressed the tip of his tongue against the oval-shaped candy and sucked it hard, squinting his eyes happily when he felt the full sweetness.

"Miss Gu, where are we going now?" Qiao Shuang looked at the increasingly familiar road outside the window, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Send you home." Turning to the right, Gu Mian answered quickly.

"Go home." Qiao Shuang instantly grimaced. When she was at school just now, she didn't want to call the rest of the family because she was worried about this, and she would be punished when she went back...

Thinking of the possible reprimand, Qiao Shuang stopped talking sullenly.

When they arrived at Qiao's house, Gu Mian led the people and walked in confidently, just like walking into his own house, without any stage fright. Instead, Qiao Shuang, who was supposed to be the master's house, followed behind with a tangled face, like an oppressed little girl Same.

The servants didn't know Gu Mian, and when they heard Qiao Shuang calling Ms. Gu at the door, they had already gone to report it.

When Gu Mian walked into the living room, Qiao Tianqing, Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Hua were already waiting in the hall.

"Good evening, Gu Mou came here uninvited, I hope you won't be offended." Gu Mian nodded slightly and greeted her without any timidity.

"Second sister, why are you injured?" Qiao Hua, who was wearing a light blue sweater dress, said in surprise.

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their attention to Qiao Shuang. Although he was neatly dressed, what happened to the injuries on his face and legs?

"Ninny, what have you been up to?" The second lady stared at her beautifully, she stretched out her hand and pulled the person with her head down, and carefully checked the injuries on her body.

Qiao's arms hurt a little from being pulled, and he raised his head timidly and replied: "I had a conflict with my classmates at school..."

Can conflicts lead to gang fights?

A daughter of a big family is actually arguing and fighting with people like a shrew in the market. The second lady who understands what's going on is almost going to explode.

"Shuangqiao!"

Mrs. Qiao cried out in a cold voice, and continued: "You don't feel ashamed. There are so many children in the Qiao family that you can't cause trouble alone. It's really embarrassing to me."

Gu Mian frowned, a little disapproving of Mrs. Qiao's words, and looked at Qiao Shuang who was being trained. This girl has been trained so hard that she can't lift her head.

"You really want to piss me off." Mrs. Qiao Er had tears in her eyes, looking at her daughter in front of her with hatred.

In fact, to be honest, being called a parent is not a big deal. If Qiao Shuang is a coward and has been bullied and dare not say anything, Mrs. Qiao will be even more angry.

What made her angry was that everyone saw Qiao Shuang making a mistake in the public, which made the always good-natured Mrs. Qiao feel hot on her face, especially the eyes of her sister-in-law made her even more uncomfortable.

"Go back to my room right away." Mrs. Qiao said angrily, even her husband didn't listen to her persuasion.

Qiao Shuang didn't talk back, as if she was used to her mother's way, she just sniffed, lowered her head and held back her tears hard to keep from falling.

If you cry, your mother will be even more angry.

This has been the case since she was a child, and sometimes Qiao Shuang feels a little numb in her heart.

The feeling of grievance is like a soda with ice cubes and bubbles. It rises and is pressed down by force, and then rises again, over and over again, until the heart is completely messed up.

Seeing this situation, Gu Mian's face was not very good-looking, and when he was about to say something, he was interrupted.

"What does it look like to be yelling!" Mr. Qiao walked down from the second floor with the help of a servant, and directly reprimanded him when he saw the messy scene below.

"Patriarch Gu came to visit in person, why didn't he say hello in advance?" Mr. Qiao walked up to Gu Mian on crutches and greeted with a smile.

"It happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to inform you. I hope the old man doesn't mind." Looking at the gray-haired but energetic old man with sharp eyes, Gu Mian replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"They're all in-laws, so there's no need for those empty gifts." Old Man Qiao's eyes flickered, as if he didn't see anything wrong and continued to ask: "My daughter will be eighteen next month, has Patriarch Gu decided on a happy life?"

Gu Mian's long eyelashes flickered, the corners of her mouth slightly turned up, and she looked polite and distant: "Mother is already watching, it won't be too late to make a decision when my daughter is an adult."

"After all, we need two people to live in the future, so it's better to communicate more earlier." Mrs. Qiao glanced at her and added with a smile.

From entering the door until now, except for Qiao Hua's yelling, no one in the family cared about Qiao Shuang's injury, and they kept talking about marriage, as if they were afraid that they would not look down on Qiao Shuang.

Gu Mian suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Although she had been sneered at since she was a child because of her parents' disagreement, at least Mrs. Gu and her aunt Gu Yan treated her so well that she was almost in the palm of her hand.
