"Dad, I'm helping Claire tonight." A tinge of mockery flashed through Lily's eyes, and she didn't care
about the presence of Simon. He continued, "Frank did something wrong to Claire, making her angry
and run back to her room. But aunt insisted that I seduced her son, which made Claire unhappy. If I
don't fight back, the reputation of the Qiao family will be ruined."
She deliberately exaggerated the matter, "If this is heard by outsiders, how can they talk about our
Qiao family? Are you going to listen to them again? "Look at the daughter of the Qiao family. How could
she be so shameless to cling to the young master of the Gu family at such a young age?"
Then she looked at Dillon innocently, "Dad, do you want to hear such rumors? What's more, I'm
married to Eric now. If my reputation is ruined, the Qiao family will be humiliated. Dad, do you want to
see this happen?"
Dillon was stunned by her question. Apparently, he didn't know what to do. Simon, who came with him,
asked, "What Frank did?"
"Uncle, you'd better ask him yourself. Otherwise, someone will think that I hurt your son on purpose."
Lily said in a jealous tone and deliberately glanced at Jade.
Simon was stunned by her answer.
"Dad, it's too late. I'm sleepy, so I'm going upstairs." After saying that, she turned around and walked
towards the stairs, without looking at others. While walking, she said, "As for the truth, you'd better ask
the people involved. I hope you can deal with it well after you know the truth. I don't want it to be
spread out and affect the reputation of the Qiao family."
It seemed that she was the head of the Qiao family!
Hearing what she said, the people who were left behind looked at each other, but at the same time,
they were also upset. They were actually taught in such a tone by a child!
Embarrassed, Dillon turned to look at Simon and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. Lily has been living with
her grandfather these days, so she can't control her temper."
His words directly put the blame on Joe.
"It's fine. She's just a kid." Simon could only smile generously.
However, Eden was a little unhappy. His face darkened and said to his father, "Father, I don't think that
Lily said anything wrong. You don't have to apologize to the Gu family."
Then he took a look at Simon and said, "Uncle, it's your fault. We won't pursued the matter of framing
Lily in the past. But this time, it's Frank's fault. We can't bear to swallow the insult all the time."
"Eden, you..." Dillon looked at his son. It was the first time that he had seen such a side of him. He was
a little surprised.
"I'm sleepy too. I'm going back to my room to sleep." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned
around and left. The rest of the matter was also between them. Anyway, he came here earlier because
he felt a little sad when he saw that Lily was bullied. Now that she had left, there was no need for him
to continue to stay here.
After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Dillon. "Dad, I hope you can think
about whether Claire is suitable for Frank or not after you know the truth. I hope you can reconsider
whether the engagement agreement between the two families should continue or not. After all, you
can't make her live a hard life in the future."
As soon as he finished his words, he turned around and left without any hesitation.
Eden's words were like a stone thrown into a quiet lake, immediately causing layers of waves to disturb
the peace of the lake.
Dillon was shocked and turned to Simon, with surprise in his eyes.
Simon was also shocked. At the same time, he turned to look at Dillon. The two looked at each other. It
seemed that the matter was really serious this time. Even Eden, who had been silent all the time, said
something like that. One could imagine how serious the matter was. It even involved the marriage
between the two families.
Lucia and Jade were also shocked when they heard this, but Lucia was calmer than Jade. She
probably knew why her son said so. But if their marriage was cancelled, her status in the Qiao family
would be more unstable, which was absolutely impossible.
"It's normal for kids to have some conflicts. It's not that serious." Lucia said deliberately to ease the
atmosphere.
"Yes, yes." Jade nodded, "When we figure out the truth, we can teach them well."
Simon glanced at Jade angrily, "Go and call our son. It's time for us to go back."
Simon also remembered what had happened. He had ignored the conversation between Frank and
Claire before the dinner. What his son said was nonsense. As a father, he would know if his son had
such a relative.
At that time, he wanted to say something to him, but considering that he was in the Qiao family, he
couldn't say anything. He could only let him talk nonsense there alone. But now, it was so serious.
Realizing that she might have done something wrong tonight, Jade didn't dare to say anything. She just
nodded and turned to call Frank.
"Let me go with you. I'm going to see Claire." Said Lucia. Then she turned around and left with Jade.
"In my opinion..." Simon turned to look at Dillon with an unnatural look, "Tonight we will go back first.
After we figure out the truth, we will talk about the solution. What do you think?"
"Okay." Dillon nodded and said, "Just as Lucia said, it's normal for children to have a fight. As adults,
we just need to take care of them. It's not good for anyone if it's too serious."
"You're right. You just need to take care of the kids. Don't make it a big deal." Simon nodded
repeatedly.
On the first day of the lunar new year, the peaceful and restless night passed.
This night, Lily had a good sleep and almost had no dream all night. The second morning, after getting
up, she stretched herself contentedly, quickly washed herself and put on her clothes. Then she went
downstairs, because she had promised Kerr to go back to the manor to cook for Tina. As a daughter,
her mother wanted to eat the food she cooked, so she must satisfy her mother's requirements.
When she went downstairs, Joe was reading newspaper on the sofa. To her surprise, Lucia came out
of the kitchen, wearing an apron and carrying breakfast.
What was going on? How could she cook breakfast? When she was in the Qiao family, she had never
been in the kitchen and was always bossy to the servants.
Besides, she had come to the Qiao family's old house several times before, but she had never cooked.
Today she even took the initiative to cook breakfast!
Lily looked out of the window subconsciously. Was the sun rising in the west?
"Girl, what are you looking at?" Seeing her like this, Joe put down the newspaper in his hand and
asked.
"I'm looking at the direction of the rising sun today." Lily turned to look at him and said in a low voice,
"Sun didn't come out from the West. Why did she suddenly change her mind and start to make
breakfast?"
Hearing this, Dillon suddenly smiled. He took a look at Zhao Yanan, who was busy, and said to Qiao
Qianmo, "Aunt Jane went back today. No one is making breakfast at home."
"I see." Lily nodded and sat down next to him. She held his arm and said in a relaxed tone, "Grandpa,
let me tell you something."
"Okay, go ahead." Joe looked at her sideways with affection in his eyes.
"Mom called me yesterday and said that she wanted to eat the food I cooked. You know, she is
pregnant now and has a picky taste. Besides, her wedding date will be in a few days. Uncle Kerr must
be very busy and has no time to take care of her, so I want to stay there for a few days and take care of
her by the way." After saying that, she deliberately made a cute gesture. "Grandpa, do you agree?"
"Okay, okay." Joe said three good words in a row, and the affection in his black eyes was indescribable.
"It's a good thing that you can be so filial to your mother. You can live there if you want, but don't forget
to go back to work after this period of time."
"I know, grandpa!" After saying that, Lily kissed him.
Not long after, Dillon, Claire and Eden also came down, but the last one to come down was Eden.
Seeing them, Lily naturally thought of what happened last night, so she deliberately paid attention to
their expressions.
Dillon looked calm, as if nothing had happened. Claire's eyes were red and swollen. Needless to say,
she must have cried a lot last night when she went back, while Eden seemed not to be affected.
"Dad, breakfast is ready." At this time, Lucia came over and said as a good wife, "It's my first time to
cook at home. I hope it won't be too bad."
"Well, thank you." Joe said calmly. Then he turned to look at Lily and said, "Girl, it's time for breakfast."
"Okay." Lily replied with a smile, and then helped him up. She turned to look at Lucia and said, "Aunt,
it's my first time to see you cook. Thank you so much."
A hint of disappointment flashed through Lucia's eyes, but she still smiled and said, "Not at all."
"I think Auntie must be good at cooking. You have lived outside with Brother and sister for so many
years." There was a hint of irony in her words. She said it on purpose.
Hearing these words, Lucia's face began to darken, but she could only bear it.
After a while, Lily held Joe's arm and walked towards the dining table. Out of the corner of her eye, she
saw that Claire was staring at her, and Dillon didn't look well.
Seeing this, Lily suddenly felt a little happy. Well, she admitted that she said that on purpose just now.
She was happy to see that they were unhappy. Well, it seemed that she was getting worse and worse.
