C250 Good or Bad
After Qin Lang left home, he drove for almost an hour according to the address that Qiao Lin had given him before arriving at the Qiao family's residence. Given the property of the Qiao family, the living environment would definitely not be bad. However, there was a high wall surrounding the three-story European-style villa with white walls. Even though the garden inside the villa was exquisite, the tall iron gate made the place look like a prison.
Qiao Zhicheng had been waiting for him, so as soon as his car stopped outside the gate, someone opened it.
"Mr. Qin, please let me stop the car for you." As soon as he got out of the car, a driver took his car keys and drove into the villa, parking in the garage.
It seemed that Qiao Zhicheng did not intend to let him leave tonight.
Qin Lang touched the ring on his finger. Since he could not take Qiao Lin away, he did not plan to leave either.
He had rushed out of the house tonight, and his mother must have been suspicious of him. Even so, it did not matter. If his mother really wanted to ask him, he would confess. He did not want to continue to hide it. He did not want such a thing to happen in the Qiao family and the Qin family again.
Qiao Lin had more than once shown him that he was not a woman and did not need all the care and protection.
However, he was a man. No matter if it was a man or a woman, he had the responsibility to protect the person he liked.
"Mr. Qin, please follow me." A man in a suit in his thirties led Qin Lang into the villa.
Qin Lang had seen this man in the news about Qiao Zhicheng. He was Qiao Zhicheng's secretary.
When Qin Lang was led into the living room, the first person he saw was Qiao Yan, who was sitting on the stairs. When Qiao Yan saw him, she immediately stood up from the stairs and wanted to go up to greet him, but she was stopped by a middle-aged woman who was walking down the stairs, "Qiao Yan, come upstairs with me."
This woman was Qiao Yan's mother, Wu Huanran.
Qiao Yan could only smile at Qin Lang and went upstairs.
Qiao Lin, who had been sitting in silence with his father for almost an hour, saw that Qin Lang had already arrived. He quickly got up and went to the door to pick him up.
Seeing that he was safe and sound, Qin Lang pulled him into his arms and refused to let go.
Qiao Zhicheng picked up the cup of water on the table and took a sip, but his gaze was still on the two of them.
After drinking the water, he said calmly, "You are a man, is it appropriate for you to hug my son like this in front of me?"
"What's wrong with that? He is your son and my boyfriend. What's wrong with me holding my lover?"
Qin Lang and Qiao Zhicheng were at loggerheads.
"Whether or not she is your lover depends on me," Qiao Zhicheng stood up and walked towards the dining room.
"Qiao Lin is already 25 years old and has been an adult for a long time. Do you still want him to be at your mercy?" Qin Lang hated a father like Qiao Zhicheng. He thought that as a father, he had to take care of everything related to his children and listen to him.
"No matter how old he is, he is still my son. Unless I die, he will listen to me." Qiao Zhicheng was still strong.
When he said those words, not only Qin Lang, but even Qiao Lin was speechless. What a strong father. Qiao Lin did not know if he would feel guilty when he said those words.
"Alright, since you're here, let's eat first." Qiao Zhicheng walked to the dining room and sat down.
Then, he ordered the servants to go upstairs to call Wu Huanran and Qiao Yan.
Even Qiao Lin, as his son, did not know what Qiao Zhicheng was doing.
He could only pull Qin Lang to sit down.
The servant went upstairs to call Wu Huanran and her daughter twice, but no one came down.
Qiao Zhicheng's face was cold, so he did not wait any longer. He called the two of them to eat, "Let's eat."
At this moment, in Qiao Yan's room, Qiao Yan was obviously restless. She wanted to go downstairs but was stopped by her mother.
"Mom, what are you doing? Dad personally went to bring me back, and Dad also called Qin Lang over. If we don't go down now, it will make Dad unhappy."
"Hmph, so what if he's unhappy? Hasn't he made me unhappy a lot? What's wrong with me making him unhappy?" Wu Huanran blocked the door to prevent her daughter from going out.
"That little bastard has been a thorn in my side all these years, and I've had some peace since I got out of this house, and now your father has brought him back to spite me. And that woman is back too. If I let her son in now, won't he take my place in a few days? Don't think I don't know that your father sold her a piece of land, and that those who wanted it were offering more than one, but your father sold it to her for less than he had estimated."
"Mom, can you stop talking? It's the company that decides how much the land sells for, and there are so many shareholders, and Dad isn't the only one who decides. Even the people outside knew that the Qiao family sold the land cheaply to Auntie Nan Xin and the G and N company. Although the price was cheap, it was actually for the future cooperation. G and N is an internationally renowned brand. Madam Qiao must want to seize this business opportunity. Long-term plans are far more important than immediate interests. "
Qiao Yan could understand her mother's worries. She was also a woman, and although Sun Qi was not married yet, she had also worried about her mother's worries.
She was afraid that her father and Qiao Lin's mother would rekindle their relationship and she would lose everything.
However, her mother was too sensitive. Ever since Qiao Lin's mother came back, she felt that her father's personal and company decisions were related to Qiao Lin and his mother.
"Besides, Nan Xin is married. With a husband who has been with her for more than ten years, it's obvious that she has let go of the past. Mom, why don't you let go of your brother? Big brother has never fought with us for anything. He left home for five years because of this, and he doesn't have a good relationship with Dad. Now that Dad brought him home, he actually wants to mend the relationship between father and son, right? You..."
"Pah." Before Qiao Yan could finish her words, her mother slapped her on the left side of her face. Qiao Yan was surprised by this slap, her mother had never treated her like this since she was young.
"You disappointing thing, you even told me that you have your own plans before, but it turns out that you were just trying to brush me off. You must be out of your mind to let the relationship between father and son be repaired. When they mend their relationship, will you still have a place in this house? Do you think that the Qiao family has too much wealth and must find another person to inherit it? What drug did that little bastard give you? What did he say about leaving the house and not wanting to be a member of the Qiao family? He was just putting on a show in front of you to gain your sympathy and make you let down your guard."
"Mom." Qiao Yan suddenly pulled Wu Huanran's arm to the balcony and pointed to the swimming pool behind the villa, "Mom, you should know why I can't swim. When I was twelve years old, you invited a few aunts to the house to play cards. I was pushed into the water by their children, and I almost drowned. I couldn't get up from the water, and no one pulled me up. Those children were still watching the joke on the shore. It was brother who jumped into the water to save me, but he couldn't swim either. If he really hated us so much, would he save me? You know this too, but why do you only remember his mother's faults and not his kindness to me?"
