Chapter 50 Changes in the Qu Family

Buzz buzz. The ear-piercing ringtone of her cell phone rang, disturbing Qu Xiao’s beautiful dream.

Qu Xiao stretched her body and lazily picked up the cell phone on the bedside table. Her sleepy eyes saw the words “Qu family” flashing on the screen, and her expression immediately furrowed with disgust, her fingers lightly touched the screen as she hung up the call.

The Qu family continued to call her number with inexplicable persistence. Qu Xiao’s patience reached its limit, and her voice was cold as she picked up the call. “What’s the matter?”

“Hello? Xiao, this is Qu Zhen. Are you free to come home for a meal this weekend?”

The gentle and quiet voice stunned Qu Xiao for a moment, and the image of the Qu family’s eldest daughter appeared in her mind.

Qu Zhen had studied abroad for many years, and she seemed to be quite close to Shang Yan.

Qu Xiao felt an inexplicable sense of vigilance and resistance.

She thought for a moment before replying, “I’m sorry, I haven’t been feeling very well recently. I’m a little lazy.”

Qu Zhen did not persist. Instead, she urged her to take care of her body.

Qu Xiao had a stuffy nose, and her heart was beating quickly. She was flustered and uneasy. She shook her head and walked to the living room. She saw Shang Yan sitting with his back facing the stairs.

IOC

Shang Yan’s clearly defined profile was shrouded under the orange light, and there was an indescribable gentleness and indulgence.

Qu Xiao tiptoed to his side and was about to coquettishly wrap her arms around his neck.

Shang Yan suddenly opened his mouth and said, “Alright, I’ll accompany Qu Xiao back this weekend.”

Qu Xiao’s movements froze as she caught a glimpse of “Qu Zhen”‘s name on Shang Yan’s phone. She could not control her expression.

“Why did you agree to her request?”

Qu Xiao asked in a hoarse voice. Shang Yan’s expression was calm and natural as he replied, “Qu Zhen is your older sister. The conflict between you and the Qu family has nothing to do with her. There is no reason for you to reject the invitation. This is basic courtesy.” Shang Yan was exceptionally rational and calm. Qu Xiao could not refute him.

She glared at the straightforward man with hidden bitterness and stomped back to the bedroom on the second floor.

She did not want to have too much contact with anyone from the Qu family, but it just so happened that it was something that Shang Yan had agreed to, so Qu Xiao could not refuse.

In a bad mood, Qu Xiao frowned and rummaged through the wardrobe.

She took out the maroon satin cheongsam that would only be worn on grand occasions and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and held it against her body.

There were only two cheongsam that were personally tailored by a famous master. Shang Yan knew that she liked the national style design, so he specially bought it for her. Qu Xiao’s eyebrows relaxed slightly as she changed her clothes..

Shang Yan pushed his wheelchair into the room. When he saw Qu Xiao, who was wearing light makeup, his eyes lit up as he held her hand. “Very beautiful.” Qu Xiao twisted her amorous eyes. She was still a little unhappy as she sat in the business car and headed to the Qu family villa.

The Qu family villa was filled with a joyous atmosphere at this moment. The housekeeper was preparing a grand and sumptuous meal. Mr. Qu and Yang Mei were extremely happy. Qu Zhen stood at the door elegantly with a wine glass in her hand.

When she saw Shang Yan’s car stop, she went to greet them with a faint smile.

“Haha… What a coincidence!”

Qu Qi’s eyes sized up the two of them. When she saw that they were wearing the same cheongsam, she was surprised for a moment before she began to belittle them.

Qu Qi covered the corner of her lips with her palm. Her eyes were filled with disdain as she said, “It’s fine wearing the same cheongsam. Only the prettier person will look good. You look like you got it off the streets!”

Qu Xiao silently clenched her fists. Her teeth bit her lips hard, leaving shallow marks.

Shang Yan frowned and wanted to defend Qu Xiao with an unfriendly expression. Seeing this, Qu Zhen beat him to it by patting the back of Qu Qi’s hand, “Don’t talk nonsense. This cheongsam makes Xiao look extremely gentle and elegant like a Jiangnan woman. It suits her better than me.”

“They’re sisters. They look the same.”

The corners of Qu Zhen’s lips curled up. Her tone was sincere as she helped Qu Xiao smooth things over. Qu Xiao smiled awkwardly and nodded in response.

When Yang Mei and Mr. Qu heard the commotion outside, they hurriedly ran out to welcome them.

They were afraid of being gossiped about. Secretly, they still hoped that they could ease up their relationship a little and then think of a way to take back the company’s shares. They forced out a smile and said, “The food is ready. Don’t stand outside. Come in quickly!” In front of the dining table that symbolized reunion, Qu Xiao looked at the so-called family indifferently, feeling extremely hypocritical.

The nanny carried the hot soup to Qu Zhen’s side and served the dishes.

Perhaps because the soup bowl was very hot, she accidentally spilled some soup on Qu Zhen.
