Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Movie Sells Well 8_1 Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Movie Sells Well 8_1 “Go ahead.” The old man’s eyes didn’t dare to leave the screen, then he suddenly thought of something and pressed the pause button, “Also call your brother back. I see him busy at the company every day, ordering takeout when it’s mealtime. How can his body withstand that in the long term?”

“Alright.” Qiao Lang nodded and turned to leave. He had only taken a few steps when he ran into Bai Qiuqing coming towards him. As soon as she walked in the door, the servants rushed forward to help her with her things. Bai Qiuqing removed her small shawl at the entrance and changed her shoes while greeting Qiao Lang.

“Second Sister.”

“Sister-in-law.”

Qiao Lang nodded and smiled, then headed straight out. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t bring himself to like Bai Qiuqing, but he did feel she was a little better than An Yuqian.

They’ve been married for many years and haven’t even given his brother a child. It’s not that they can’t conceive; they had a thorough physical examination before getting married, and there were no physical abnormalities on either side.

He had no idea what the problem was.

As he thought about it, Qiao Lang stepped out the door.

“Dad, who’s coming? Lunch is being prepared so early.” Bai Qiuqing changed her shoes and walked towards the old man with a smile, her eyes glancing at the computer screen.

When she saw the face of Qiao Xiaren, her face suddenly froze.

The old man obviously did not notice the change in Bai Qiuqing’s expression and replied, “Ranran is coming home for lunch today, your mother is naturally anxious and supervising the chef with the meal preparations.”

Upon hearing the name Qiao Xiaren, a strange light flickered in Bai Qiuqing’s eyes. She then laughed lightly, “So, we have guests coming over. That explains it.”

Her casual remark seemed to slip out unintentionally. But the word ‘guest’ made Qiao Yi’an subtly furrow his brows.

Xiaren is a child of the Qiao family, so referring to her as a ‘guest’ was off-putting.

No matter how long Xiaren had been lost, the moment she returned, she was still blood to the Qiao family.

Just as Qiao Yi’an was about to say something, the old man’s face suddenly darkened and he thundered, “What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by ‘guest’? Xiaren is my granddaughter! She’s the young lady of the Qiao family!”

Seeing the old man suddenly flare up, the servants each lowered their heads, continuing their works with some trepidation.

Ever since they found Xiaren, the young girl had become the apple of the old couple’s eyes. The reason they agreed to let Xiaren remain outside the Qiao residence for the time being was because they had their own considerations.

The young lady of the Qiao family had been missing for 18 years, she had a less than ideal background, and had even lived in the countryside. Whether it was her identity or her temperament, she did not seem to fit the role of a socialite, which could easily attract criticism.

In high society, there were many gossipy ladies who love to gossip on every occasion.

Even in her own home, there might be servants who didn’t take Xiaren seriously, thinking she was a nobody turned phoenix and not worth mentioning.

The old couple didn’t want Xiaren to be looked down upon, so they wanted to help establish her authority first. Fortunately, Xiaren was not a pushover; she was confident and strong-willed.

“Dad, I was just saying that casually. Why are you getting so angry?” Bai Qiuqing opened her mouth with an aggrieved look on her face, but inside, she was starting to feel stifled and annoyed.

She did not see Qiao Xiaren as belonging to the Qiao family at all. How could she? A country girl who popped out of nowhere, could she even hold up the banner of the Qiao Family?
