275 Father’s me


    The next day, Xu Jiangxi and Xu Huai arrived. Xu Qing had already been waiting to pick them up at the door. To Xu Qing’s surprise, Xu Xiang also came.


    “Little Xiang, why are you here?” The letter didn’t mention that Xu Xiang would alsoe.


    “Of course it’s because I missed you,” Xu Xiang said as she hugged her sister. However, she nced at Xu Sizhi, who was at the side. She had not seen Brother Sizhi for more than a year. Brother Sizhi was really getting more and more handsome.


    Xu Sizhi stiffened and avoided Xu Xiang’s big ck eyes.


    “Sister, we only discovered Little Xiang halfway through. She’s really too infuriating. She doesn’t take her safety seriously at all. What if she had encountered bad people?” Xu Huai had a reproachful expression. His sister was really too willful.


    Xu Xiang instantly looked repentant. “I was wrong. I’ll definitely follow you guys openly next time. Don’t be angry.”


    “You want there to be a next time?” Xu Qing shook her head helplessly.


    Xu Sizhi looked at Yi Li and Ji Wu, who had followed along to protect them, and said coldly, “Didn’t you guys notice?”


    “We know our mistake.” Yi Li and Ji Wu hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.


    “Go receive your punishment yourselves,” Xu Sizhi said coldly.


    “Yes.” Yi Li and Ji Wu had noints. They had indeed been careless. Although Xu Xiang had some martial arts foundation and had learned many medical and poison techniques, she was only eight years old. It had only been two years since they stopped being assassins, but they were already so careless. They deserved punishment.


    Xu Xiang looked at Xu Sizhi with a happy smile when she saw how Brother Sizhi was worried about her. However, Xu Xiang looked at Yi Li and Ji Wu apologetically, since she had dragged them down.


    “Brother Sizhi, spare them. I was too naughty…” Xu Xiang looked at Xu Sizhi pitifully.


    Xu Sizhi was unmoved. He couldn’t let Xu Xiang get injured. Xu Xiang was lucky this time, but what about the next time? Who knew if she would be injured or not? What if something happened?


    Xu Xiang had an aggrieved expression. She just wanted Brother Sizhi to stay by her side forever. Her mother said that if she wanted to be with someone forever, they had to be husband and wife. Xu Xiang secretly decided that she had to be Brother Sizhi’s wife when she grew up. Then, they wouldn’t have to separate, and she wouldn’t have to resort to such means to look for him.


    “Alright, go in now. Don’t stand at the door.” Xu Jiangxi, who had been smiling at the side, finally spoke.


    Over the past two years, Xu Jiangxi had changed a lot. He was like a round raw stone that was finally filled with sharp edges. He had be dignified and intimidating. The simple-mindedness that originally belonged to Xu Jiangxi had also disappeared over the years, as if this was what this man should be like.


    Xu Qing was quite satisfied with Xu Jiangxi’s current state. At least he could protect his family from being bullied now. Moreover, Xu Qing realized that Xu Jiangxi and the Xu family were very different. Not only were their auraspletely different, but even their appearances werepletely different. Was it because they were old that she couldn’t tell anymore? She wondered if she should ask Xu Sizhi to investigate if Xu Jiangxi was really the Xu family’s son. After all, how could parents be so harsh and cruel to their own son?


    Thinking of this, Xu Qing smiled helplessly. Perhaps she had investigated too many such things recently, so she became too paranoid.


    Xu Jiangxi and the others looked at the huge Qiao family home with shock in their eyes. However, they were no longer the same as before. They had learned to hide their expressions. At the very least, they wouldn’t make a fuss.


    “Father, why did you suddenlye to the capital?” Xu Qing asked in confusion.


    “When your mother heard that you had gotten injured many times after you arrived in the capital, she was worried about you, so she asked me toe and take a look. She was worried that you wouldn’t be used to the food outside, so she asked me to bring you some food.” Xu Jiangxi’s face was filled with worry as he looked at Qiao Yanhui with a hint of reproach.


    Qiao Yanhui didn’t refute at all, because in the future, he would use his actions to show them that he could protect Xu Qing.


    Xu Qing’s heart warmed. Actually, they sent gifts to each other every month, but it felt different when her father personally sent them. However, how did they know that she had gotten injured? She was afraid that they would be worried, so she had been hiding it. She nced at Ji Wu and the others. That’s right, her family was no longer the people who only knew how to work hard, like in the past. They had nurtured some people to work for them. It wasn’t difficult for them to find out what had happened in the capital.


    “Thank you, Father and Mother. Don’t worry, I’m fine. The children are also fine.” Xu Qing’s voice was choked with emotion.


    Qiao Yanhui hugged Xu Qing’s shoulder gently and thought about how he could apany Xu Qing back to Anning Vige in the future. At that time, she wouldn’t be this sad, would she?
