He knew that she said that she did not want to suffer just to comfort him. The truth was that she had such responsibility and ability, but she did not have such an opportunity.
He also understood that his second sister was in charge of many things in the family now, but he had been watching her coldly from the side. His second sister had already made several mistakes in her decisions. Otherwise, he would not have made this decision.
However, he knew that Qiao Weiyang was right. Their grandfather was still in good health, and he wouldn’t talk about the family assets for the time being, so he didn’t talk about this topic anymore.
“I have a friend who wants to see Grandpa. I’ll go get her. I’ll go downstairs first,” Qiao Weiyang said.
Qiao Dongliang stood there, still thinking about something.
Not far away, Qiao Jierou and Huang Shumin had heard what they said.
Qiao Jierou felt a little uncomfortable. She usually doted on this brother of hers a lot. Why was he so biased toward Qiao Weiyang?
“Jierou, don’t think too much. Your brother is too straightforward,” Huang Shumin said. “Anyway, I’ll rely on you more in the future. I don’t dare to count on him anymore.”
Qiao Jierou did understand that her mother had always doted on her more, but when she thought of her brother’s words, she felt terrible.
She was his biological sister, but he actually said such things.
When the time came, their grandfather would split the family assets. As the grandson, he would definitely receive a very high share. Grandma would also give him more in the future.
If he gave all of his shares to Qiao Weiyang, wouldn’t she be at a complete disadvantage?
Thinking of this, Qiao Jierou felt a little anxious. “Dongliang.” Huang Shumin walked toward him.
“Mom, Second Sister.” He smiled.
“How’s school, Dongliang? Do you need any help with your studies recently?”
“I’m fine. Thank you, Second Sister.” Facing Qiao Jierou, his answer was very concise.
He didn’t know why either. It was probably because when he was young, Qiao Jierou always liked to bully him and spread rumors about him in front of his parents. Only Qiao Weiyang would protect him.
Recalling how he had talked confidently and sincerely in front of Qiao Weiyang, Qiao Jierou had a lot of opinions and said, “Aren’t you in your third year of high school? Is there really nothing you need to tell me?”
“No, Second Sister,” he said with a frown.
“Alright. The two of you usually have good tempers. Why do you have to be like this when you’re together?” Huang Shumin tried to smooth things over.
“Mom, I really want to help my brother. It’s not like you don’t know that.
Forget it. Let’s go see Grandpa.”
The three of them came out after seeing Old Master Qiao. At this moment, Qiao Weiyang was bringing Xiao Qing upstairs.
“In that case, Grandpa Qiao’s situation at that time was really critical. Fortunately, nothing went wrong. Otherwise, I would’ve been given the fright of my life.”
“Yes. Fortunately, the results are good. If Grandpa finds out that you’re here to visit him, he’ll definitely be very happy.”
“Of course! After all, I’m so obedient. He always used to say that about me.”
“He praised you once and you’ve been harping on it since?” Qiao Weiyang teased with a smile.
Xiao Qing suddenly stopped after seeing Huang Shumin and Qiao Jierou.
“Aunt, Jierou.” Xiao Qing smiled awkwardly.
“You’re here to see Grandpa Qiao?” Huang Shumin greeted casually.
“Yes.” Xiao Qing nodded.
“Okay, go ahead,” Huang Shumin said and brushed past Qiao Jierou.
Xiao Qing patted her chest. “That nearly scared me to death.”
“Let’s go to the ward.” Qiao Weiyang understood her reaction. Sometimes, the atmosphere between that mother and daughter pair was really low, making people feel uncomfortable.
Old Master Qiao was also very happy to see Xiao Qing. He said, “I just got someone to send Dongliang back to school. Otherwise, you could have met him.”
“I don’t want him to disturb his studies. I’m happy to see you in good health,
Grandpa Qiao.”
“Oh, just listen to your sweet mouth.” Old Master Qiao asked her to sit down.
After chatting for a while and leaving the ward, Qiao Weiyang said, “Let’s have lunch together. I still have to go to the set in the afternoon.”
“Why don’t you bring me to your production team to take a look? I’ve never been to your production team before.” Xiao Qing looked curious. “In the past, when you were filming, I would take a look outside. But I never dared to go in.”
“Okay, I’ll bring you there to broaden your horizons. By the way, let’s have lunch with the production team at noon, okay?”
“Alright then.”
When they arrived at the set, it was almost time for lunch.
Qiao Weiyang asked Tao Huan to help her get an extra lunch box and let Xiao Qing eat in her dressing room.
“Actually, it looks pretty good,” Xiao Qing said as she ate. “The taste is alright too.”
“Then eat more. Do you want another box?”
“It’s enough. I’ll follow you to observe when the filming starts later. It should be helpful to my profession.”
Xiao Qing wrote novels herself. Although she had yet to sell the film and television rights, she had always been working hard in this direction.
Qiao Weiyang made an ‘OK’ gesture.
After the meal, Qiao Weiyang had to put on makeup and change her clothes. Tao Huan had her own matters to attend to, so Xiao Qing went to observe other people’s scenes.
After looking around, she came back excitedly. She knew that she could not take photos casually on set, so she found a small notebook and recorded everything she saw and thought.
When Qiao Weiyang started filming, she ran over to watch.
She saw that Qiao Weiyang was moving around, having to cooperate with others. It was very tiring in this airtight studio.
When Qiao Weiyang came over, she waved the small notebook in her hand and fanned Qiao Weiyang.
“You’ve worked hard.”
“It’s my job.” Qiao Weiyang sat down to rest.
Tao Huan ran over and said, “Sister Weiyang, the director said that the production team is having a gathering tonight and asked Sister Qing Qing to stay for dinner.”
“Is it convenient for me to stay?” Xiao Qing was a little uncertain.
“The director knows that you’re Sister Weiyang’s friend and specially instructed me. This means that it’s okay with everyone,” Tao Huan said with a smile. “Let’s go together!”
Seeing that Qiao Weiyang also nodded, Xiao Qing smiled and said, “Okay! I’m gonna get another free meal!”
“Then I’ll come over after removing my makeup. You can take a look around,” Qiao Weiyang said.
“Okay.” After saying that, Xiao Qing took a cup and went to the pantry to get a
drink.
She casually chose a tea bag and made some tea. When she poured the boiling hot water, it burned her fingers. She blew on them twice before slowly walking out.
“It’s so hot,” she whispered to herself. “I should have added some cold water.”
After saying that, she sensed that someone was in front of her and looked up. What she saw shocked her so much that her eyes widened…
Standing in front of her was Shen Mubei. He was holding a coffee cup with an impatient expression on his face. His chest had been stained with coffee, and his eyebrows were tightly furrowed..
