Chapter 411: He's About to Choke to Death

"Where am I babbling nonsense, Brother Song? I have something to tell you—my third sister—"

Qiao Xuehua hadn't finished speaking.

Qiao Lanhua reached out and covered her mouth: "Brother Song, my Simmei is acting strangely today, so I took her to the backyard to rest. Tell my father and the others what you want to eat."

Without waiting for Sòng Běitíng to say anything.

Qiao Lanhua dragged Qiao Xuehua toward the backyard.

Upon entering the backyard.

Qiao Lanhua then released Qiao Xuehua's hand: "Simmei, I know you want to help me, but if you really find him and say that, how will I face him afterward?"

Qiao Xuehua frowned and said: "If you stay silent, he won't know; what if he marries someone else?"

Upon hearing that,

Qiao Lanhua said to Qiao Xuehua, "If that really happens, that's my fate, I accept it."

"You…"

Qiao Xuehua was about to die of anger.

She stormed out of the backyard, her head buried in thought, not watching ahead, and immediately bumped into a man.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to."

"It's fine."

A warm, gentle male voice sounded.

If Qiao Sheng were here, he would surely recognize him.

He was none other than Xiao Jin.

Qiao Xuehua lifted her gaze, a flash of astonishment crossing her eyes, and after regaining herself asked, "Y‑you're here to eat at our shop?"

"No."

Xiao Jin explained his purpose for coming.

She learned that he was a friend of her eldest sister.

Qiao Xuehua warmly invited him to sit aside.

"Have you had breakfast?"

Before Xiao Jin could answer, Qiao Xuehua said, "You haven't tried the food in our shop yet; I'll prepare a few dishes for you to sample. You're my eldest sister's friend, so you're my friend as well."

After Qiao Hushui and the others learned this, they came over to greet him, then sent someone to inform Qiao Sheng.

Unable to resist Qiao Xuehua's urging, Xiao Jin took chopsticks and began eating.

While Xiao Jin ate, Qiao Xuehua sat opposite him, staring intently.

It was still Xiao Jin's first time meeting a girl like Qiao Xuehua; it made him feel uneasy, but he couldn't say anything, so he just lowered his head and continued eating.

Sòng Běitíng watched from the side and laughed.

He saw him start to laugh.

Realizing her behavior was a bit improper, Qiao Xuehua cleared her throat and said, "Brother Song, you're eating so little today; won't you have some more?"

"I would like to have more, but the problem is I don't have much money; I'm not like those who have someone to treat them."

Sòng Běitíng's teasing remark rang out.

Xiao Jin's face flushed.

Qiao Xuehua spoke up, "Brother Song, if you have no money, there aren't many people who do. Your clothes aren't shabby at all. Still, you come every day to look after our family's business, so it's only right that we treat you to something."

She said that and went to bring a plate of snacks.

Sòng Běitíng glanced inside, not seeing Qiao Lanhua, and while eating the snacks Qiao Xuehua brought, asked her, "Where's your third sister?"

"Do you miss her?"

Qiao Xuehua blinked and asked.

Sòng Běitíng choked suddenly and coughed violently.

Seeing Qiao Lanhua emerge, Qiao Xuehua quickly pulled her over: "Third sister, give Brother Song a pat quickly; he's about to choke to death."

Sòng Běitíng: "!"

Is that little girl cursing him!

Qiao Lanhua saw Sòng Běitíng coughing so fiercely, thought it was real, didn't think further, and stepped forward to give him a pat.

After patting.

Qiao Lanhua noticed several diners around them staring, and her expression involuntarily froze.

What must they be thinking!

Qiao Hushui and the others were also stunned, watching.

Regaining their senses.

Lan Yue Niang strode over: "You child, no matter how urgent, you mustn't call her sister. Next time something like this happens, remember to call your father."
