Chapter 761

Just as detestable as Qiao Guanqing.

Qiao Guanqing pressed his temples firmly, "Mom, why must you always negate what I do? Do you know that in Qiao Muting's eyes, I am not even his father? Do you know what he did when he came to see me yesterday?"

"No matter what Mu Ting did yesterday, it was right. It was you who forced him to do it!" Old Madam Qiao defended her grandson unconditionally.

She had seen with her own eyes how difficult things had been for Mu Ting all these years.

It was not easy for him to finally have Xia Xia by his side to face things with him and warm his heart, and now this bastard father Qiao Guanqing wanted to ruin Mu Ting's life; no matter what Mu Ting did, he was not wrong.

Qiao Guanqing was so angry he felt like vomiting blood, "Mom, aren't you being too biased?"

"Yes, I am biased. You remember this: none of you think about hurting Xia Xia! If there is a next time, Mu Ting will absolutely not let you off so easily, and even if you are my son, I will not let you off." After Old Madam Qiao finished speaking, she hung up the phone directly.

Every conversation with Qiao Guanqing was a challenge for her.

No wonder Zhong Jiejie said she would face choices as painful as cutting her own flesh in her later years; no matter which choice she made, it would be a hurt to her.

When she was young, she didn't think much of it, and even told Zhong Jiejie that she was least afraid of making choices.

And now...

Steward Qin looked at Old Madam Qiao, who was once again fuming with anger and looking haggard, sighed in his heart, and hurriedly persuaded her: "Old Madam, please don't get upset; your health is what's important. It is visible to the naked eye that the young master and young mistress's relationship as a married couple has improved after this incident; it can be considered a blessing in disguise. As for the old master, after this incident, he certainly won't do it again. The most important thing for you, Old Madam, is to take good care of your health, otherwise the young master and young mistress will surely worry."

How could Old Madam Qiao not understand this? It was just that even though she understood it in her heart, she was still angered, "I can understand it, sigh!"

On this side, Old Madam Qiao could not calm her state of mind even after several deep breaths, while on the other side, after Qiao Guanqing hung up the phone, he finally saw the environment he was in.

The villa was in a mess.

He had slept directly on the sofa last night.

Hua Qian had also slept on the sofa opposite.

She had woken up when Qiao Guanqing answered the phone.

She had heard Old Madam Qiao's threat to Qiao Guanqing.

This old woman was truly the most muddled, and also the most incomprehensible old woman she had ever met.

After so many things had happened, she actually didn't think about her own son at all.

Instead, she protected Shu Xia.

Could that Shu Xia compare to her, the daughter-in-law?

So many years had passed, and she still refused to acknowledge her status, making her unable to hold her head up in front of others in the Qiao Family.

"The old woman scolded you, didn't she?" Hua Qian put away her thoughts and asked Qiao Guanqing with feigned concern.

Qiao Guanqing's expression turned even uglier, and he threw his phone away, "She is old and muddled! Qiao Muting having no regard for me is a habit she spoiled him with!"

"Sigh." Hua Qian sighed and said nothing more.

When she got off the sofa, she saw the mess all over the floor, thought of the experience from last night, and her face turned pale instantly. She lowered her head and said, "I'll go call the servants, let them come back to work, and tidy up the villa properly. As for other matters, husband, don't take it to heart for now, and don't get angry; anger harms the body."

Qiao Guanqing waved his hand, "You go get busy. What I said last night was not to coax you; wait for the evening to go see my uncle with me."

Upon hearing this, Hua Qian's eyes lit up fiercely.

——

Jiang Nannan called Shu Xia twice.

Neither of the two consecutive calls was answered.
