Chapter 1828: Angry
The smile on Qiao Nian’s face gradually disappeared. The atmosphere became heavy.
"Yes, he has always been alive. The Daddy Xiao Bao talks about is Brother Gu. All these years, he’s been secretly protecting the Gu family and the Lu family because Mark has always wanted to deal with us."
Lu Zhu frowned as well, his eyes filled with admiration. "He was still young when he left. He already had such courage at that time. As expected of someone from the Gu family."
As the three of them were talking, footsteps came from the door. Auntie Cao walked in with a dark expression. When she saw Qiao Nian, her eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
However, when they looked at her, Auntie Cao had already restrained the expression in her eyes. There was a gentle smile on her face as she greeted gently, "Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master, when did Eldest Miss come back? Have you eaten? Why don’t I prepare food for you?"
Auntie Cao saw that there were two young masters here. In order to hide her identity and for the future plan to go smoothly, she pretended to be very enthusiastic.
Qiao Nian could naturally tell that Auntie Cao was lying. She held the cup in her hand and slowly finished her water before placing the cup on the table. "There’s no need."
Qiao Nian looked at Auntie Cao indifferently and asked tentatively, "It’s already so late. Why isn’t Auntie Cao resting?"
Auntie Cao noticed Qiao Nian’s scrutinizing gaze. At this moment, she did not feel guilty at all. She said very frankly, "I just went over to give Sixth Miss some calming soup. When she fell asleep, I wanted to come over and check if the kitchen appliances were all turned off."
Hearing Auntie Cao’s words, Lu Zhu frowned and asked worriedly, "Is her insomnia better?"
A trace of comfort flashed across Auntie Cao’s eyes. Although Song Yu was not the real daughter of the Lu family, the Eldest Young Master was still very concerned about her. "Sixth Miss’s current condition is still a little bad. She still drank the soup and slept."
