Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Qiao wasn’t very happy when Shao Jingmo said that he wouldn’t go. Because she was more worried now. “If you don’t go, how will you answer the Bai family?”

The Bai family’s power might not have reached the point where they needed to be afraid. However, the Bai family’s current attitude towards Shao Jingmo was clearly expressing goodwill. If Shao Jingmo did not go this time, it would be equivalent to not giving the Bai family face.

It was not a good thing to fall out with the Bai family on the surface.

“Are you worried?” Shao Jingmo asked her.

Qiao Qiao nodded. “What do you think? Of course I’m worried.”

Shao Jingmo played with her fingers and comforted her gently. “The Bai family did have some status in Xingzhou in the early years, but it’s different now. The Bai family has long been in a state of disunity. It’s not as united as the outside world sees.’

Qiao Qiao didn’t know much about this. “Can I take it that the Bai family is in an internal strife now?”

Shao Jingmo smiled. “You can think of it that way.”

There were many open and covert fights in the corporations. What humans did not lack the most was greed. If they could surpass others, who would be bothered by the seemingly peaceful tripartite?

Shao Jingmo raised her hand and kissed her fingertips. “So don’t worry about what will happen to the Bai family if I don’t go. This birthday banquet is an internal competition in front of Old Master Bai. After Old Master Bai t s birthday, the internal strife in the Bai family might stop.”

Qiao Qiao pulled her hand out of his palm and wrapped her arms around his neck instead. She leaned closer and asked, “Then who do you think will be the next head of the Bai family?”

Shao Jingmo said, “Bai Qingnan.”

Qiao Qiao was surprised. “Why do you think it’s him?”

Shao Jingmo smiled. “What I’m trying to say is that he’s the least likely.”

Qiao Qiao laughed too. Shao Jingmo’s palm stopped on her lower back. Qiao Qiao didn’t want to get up. She snuggled into his arms obediently. “Can you rub my waist?”

He agreed, then took off his watch and placed it on the table beside him. He unbuttoned his cufflinks and rolled them up. After doing this, he placed his hand on her lower back again. He controlled the most suitable strength and massaged her gently. Then, he asked her, “Mrs. Shao, is this strength alright?”

Qiao Qiao had closed her eyes and was enjoying herself. “It’s alright. Massage it well. After you massage, there will be a reward.”

He smiled. “For the reward, I naturally have to serve Mrs. Shao comfortably.”

The day of Bai Fengjiangs birthday was approaching soon. Because of Shao Jingmo’s words that day, Qiao Qiao had never taken it to heart. When she came back from work one day and finished dinner, Old Master Qiao called Qiao Qiao over to talk to him.

Mother Qiao cut a plate of fruit and handed it to Qiao Qiao. “Your grandfather is looking for you. It might be related to the Bai family. Bai Fengjiang called your grandfather today. I don’t know what he said, but your grandfather hasn’t left the house all afternoon!”

Qiao Qiao frowned. “Why is the Bai family always haunting me?”

Mother Qiao sighed. “What can we do? Before this matter is resolved, the Bai family will continue to haunt us.” Qiao Qiao fell silent. Mother Qiao stretched out her hand. “Take it and go up quickly. Take note of the time and don’t chat for too long. Urge your grandfather to go to bed early.”

Qiao Qiao took the fruit platter. “Got it.”

In Old Master Qiao’s living room.

Qiao Qiao knocked on the door. A servant came over and opened it for her.

“Miss.”

Qiao Qiao said, “You can go out first. I’ll accompany Grandpa.”

The servant nodded and left after Qiao Qiao came in, closing the door again.

“Grandpa, 1 heard from Mom that you haven’t been out much recently. How can you not go out? You’ll get moldy. Besides, the weather has been very good recently. Why don’t I take a day off tomorrow and go out with you?”

Qiao Qiao became the talker as soon as she came in. She placed the fruit platter on the small table beside the bed and pulled a chair over. She sat down beside the bed and looked at the old man, who was sitting against the bed.

Old Master Qiao said angrily, “Even if your surname is Qiao, you can’t skip work just because you say so. Stay in the company and learn more. It’s better than anything. I don’t need your company.”

Qiao Qiao was very casual in front of Old Master Qiao, She leaned forward and rested her elbows on the bed. She smiled and said, “Although my surname is Qiao, I can also take leave. Who said that company employees can’t take leave?” After a pause, she added, “And this is me being filial. And isn’t it good for me to accompany you to relieve your boredom? I happen to have a lot of interesting things to chat with you about..”
