It was still early, and Qiao Ranqing silently calculated the distance. Based on her understanding of her mother, her parents should still be at home at this time, and it would be ten o'clock when she arrived at her aunt's house. She could just take advantage of this time to talk to her aunt.

Qiao Ranqing took a few deep breaths, and knocked on the door of Gu Qiao's house. There was a sound of footsteps, and the door opened from the inside.

Qiao Ranqing's eyes widened, she stared blankly at the person in front of her for a long time, "Mom."

Chapter 26

Mother Qiao had long hair, tied in a simple bun with a rubber band, and was wearing a simple black dress. She had willow-leaf eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes on her oval face, which were seven points similar to Qiao Ranqing.

Qiao's mother just said "um" before turning around and going in, without even looking at Qiao Ranqing.

However, Qiao Ranqing was already very satisfied. In her expectation, her mother not only didn't even look at her, she didn't even respond to her. Thinking about it, she didn't know how embarrassing it was. At least now, her mother agreed to her, It's pretty good, isn't it?

Qiao Ranqing went in with her things and changed her shoes. When she walked into the living room, she saw her father playing chess with her uncle. Qiao Ranqing immediately put down her things, walked forward hesitantly, and called softly, "Dad, uncle."

Father Qiao raised his head and glanced at Qiao Ranqing, then nodded, his tone was the same as before, "Here we are."

Qiao Ranqing responded, but didn't know what to do. Her father and uncle were playing chess here, and her mother and aunt seemed to be in the kitchen. She looked left and right, and no matter how she thought about it, she seemed to be the extra one.

"What are you doing standing here? Go to the kitchen to see if anyone can help." Joe's father raised his head and frowned slightly. "Why are you so ignorant when you're so old?"

Although Qiao's father's tone was slightly reprimanded, Qiao Ranqing felt very happy. She hadn't heard her father speak to her like this for a long time. She immediately nodded vigorously, turned around and walked into the kitchen quickly. With a hint of joy, "Auntie, I'm here."

Gu's mother was discussing with Qiao's mother what to do with the fresh fish. When she heard Qiao Ranqing's voice, she turned her head and responded with a smile, "Why are you here now?"

Qiao Ranqing blinked, and subconsciously glanced at the watch on her left wrist. It's only past ten o'clock, so it shouldn't be too late.

Gu's mother glanced at Qiao's mother, beckoned to Qiao Ranqing, stepped aside, and said with a smile, "Come here and help wash the vegetables."

Qiao Ranqing was overjoyed, and immediately ran over, choosing dishes while listening to her aunt chatting with her mother.

It's nothing more than some parents' short stories and some bad things at work.

Qiao Ranqing didn't know all the relatives in the family, and some names sounded familiar but didn't match their faces. Listening to them talking about who has a grandson, who's son is married, and who's daughter is studying abroad, I can't match it at all. You can only listen quietly.Later, they started talking about work again. Qiao Ranqing had never experienced bloody storms in the workplace, and she couldn't empathize with them, let alone talking...

However, being able to listen to them talking about these things from the sidelines made Qiao Ranqing very satisfied.Since she left home alone two years ago, she has never heard her mother say so much. In the past two years, her aunt told her about her parents. It is rare to know their past from her mother so directly. How is it.

Seeing Qiao Ranqing staying silent, Gu's mother turned her eyes and started a new topic, "I heard from Gu Qiao that the manuscript of your new book has been handed in, so it should be available soon, right?"

Qiao Ranqing nodded, "I have already modified what should be modified. The rest depends on the progress of my cousin and the others. If the speed is fast, it should be listed in a month or two."

Qiao's mother listened to their back and forth questions and answers, but she didn't interject. She just lowered her head and listened in silence while cutting meat.

"I heard that you have a new editor? Gu Qiao is no longer in charge of you?"

Qiao Ranqing was stunned. My aunt should have known about this for a long time. Why did she suddenly ask this? Thinking of this, Qiao Ranqing turned her head and looked away, only to see her aunt blinking at her, and quietly looking at Qiao Ranqing. She pouted in the direction of her mother, and Qiao Ranqing immediately understood.

"Well, there's a new editor. Gu Qiao has to be busy with the exhibition during this period, and doesn't have the time and energy to take care of me."

Mother Gu asked, "How about the new editor? Boys and girls?"

Qiao Ran paused, glanced at her mother subconsciously, quickly lowered her head and continued to wash the vegetables, and replied softly: "A girl who just graduated, she is very nice, careful and responsible. Although she is a newcomer, she is experienced in doing things. It’s a pleasure to work with her.”

"Do you look good?" Mama Gu blinked her eyes and asked sincerely. However, if you listen carefully, you can find a hint of ridicule and jokes in Mama Gu's tone.

Qiao Ranqing lowered her head, not daring to look at her mother beside her, and cowardly said: "It's pretty, very cute."

As soon as the voice fell, Mother Qiao put the vegetables cut on the cutting board into the dish, washed her hands, her face was cold, she turned and walked out without saying a word.

The corners of Qiao Ranqing's mouth froze immediately, and the hand holding the dish stopped in mid-air. She was at a loss, her face was bewildered, and she looked a little pitiful and ignorant.

Gu's mother sighed, raised her hand and patted Qiao Ranqing's shoulder, and comforted her: "After all, I was a little impatient, you...forget it, give your mother a little more time, this matter can't be rushed. By the way, Gu Qiao doesn't know what he's doing in the study, he asked you to find him after you come."

Qiao Ranqing nodded lightly, washed the dishes on her hands and put them away, then washed her hands, turned and left the kitchen.

In the living room, Papa Gu and Papa Qiao were still drinking tea and playing chess. Mama Qiao was sitting alone on the balcony, holding a mobile phone in both hands and looking at something, with crooked eyebrows and smiling eyes. Disappointed, she turned and went to Gu Qiao's study.

Qiao Ranqing raised her hand and knocked on the door. Gu Qiao's answer came from inside, and she pushed the door open and went in.

Seeing that it was Qiao Ranqing who came in, Gu Qiao pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, leaned back on the chair, turned the pen with her right hand, and tapped the armrest of the chair with her left hand. Dark gray circles around the eyes, looking a little tired.

"I've been busy with the photo fair these days, so it looks like you're pretty tired." Qiao Ranqing stepped forward, pulled aside the stool next to her and sat down, "Auntie said you have something to do with me?"
