The sky around the city in June is like a furnace, and the scorching sun forms layers of heat waves on the oil road, leaving no one on the burning road.
Qiao Nian dragged her freshly packed luggage out of the room.
Before I could come downstairs, I heard the chirping of Qiao Chen downstairs.
"Mom and Dad, are Qiao Nian's biological parents really coming to pick her up?"
Qiao's father asked her sternly, "What are you doing here? Have you mastered the piano music you will be using later? Your grandmother's friend will come from Beijing when the time comes. She is a professor of the People's Art Theatre and a national piano master. If you behave well, your grandmother will help you arrange it later, and your plan to go to university in Beijing will be stable."
"I am already practicing."
Before Qiao Nian could go down, he heard Qiao Chen acting coquettishly again.
"Dad, what do you think sister's biological parents look like?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she hid in her innocence and muttered contemptuously, "Her biological parents said they were coming the day before yesterday and only arrived today! Shouldn't they have bought a train ticket? They took a two day and one night train from the mountain ditch to pick up people, right?"
Upstairs, Qiao Nian's footsteps couldn't help but stop, and a hint of irony flashed through his indifferent eyes.
Three months ago, she accidentally discovered that her good sister Qiao Chen and her boyfriend were having a private affair, cheating on each other.
She was so angry that she exposed the matter and realized that she was not from the Qiao family at all, but just a child adopted by the Qiao family from an orphanage.
The Qiao family's adoption of her was not a sign of kindness and a desire to do good.
But Qiao Chen has been suffering from a rare blood disease since childhood. In addition to taking medication for treatment, he also needs to receive blood transfusions every month.
The Qiao family owns their own company and successfully went public last year. At least they have a good reputation around the city. If Qiao Chen's illness only requires money, the Qiao family will not have a headache.
Coincidentally, besides being born with illness due to poor luck, Qiao Chen also has a rare RH blood type, which is very rare. It is said that only one or two out of 100000 people will inherit this blood type.
Because it's too rare, hospitals call this type of blood panda blood.
The meaning is comparable to the preciousness of giant pandas.
The Qiao family has money to treat illness, but cannot guarantee that the hospital has enough panda blood for Qiao Chen to use every month. Therefore, the Qiao family thought about it and came up with a solution - to adopt a child with a matching blood type in the orphanage and use it as a mobile blood bag for their daughter!
She is the free blood bag.
Since childhood, Qiao Nian has been educated to be a good sister, wearing beautiful clothes for her sister and giving her the opportunity to win awards... If it weren't for the exposure of Qiao Chen and Fu Ge this time, she would still be kept in the dark!
And the Qiao family was willing to tell her these things only because after years of treatment, Qiao Chen has basically recovered, as long as she pays attention, there is no need for medication or blood transfusion.
She no longer had any value to use, and in addition, Mrs. Qiao was angry that she had caused a big fuss over Qiao Chen and Fu Ge at Qiao Chen's birthday banquet. In order to protect Qiao Chen's reputation and the face of the Qiao family, she simply exposed this fake daughter in front of everyone.
Qiao's father didn't want to mention Qiao Nian and said, "You should say a few words less."
Qiao Chen didn't pay the bill and pouted back, "That's it. They could have bought a flight ticket, how could they come now? Don't be a poor person!"
"Alright."
Father Qiao saw Qiao Nian coming down the stairs and stopped him in a low voice.
The first thing that caught the eye was the wild face. She wore a light blue T-shirt and a red and white striped shirt, with the hem casually tucked into denim shorts, revealing a pair of thin and white legs.
Their family members are all very white, but Qiao Nian is even whiter than them.
I don't know if it's due to her skin being too white, but Qiao Nian's eyes are always particularly dark. Seeing her, Qiao Weimin always feels a sense of distance.
It is indeed not due to biological reasons.
"Nian Nian, have you packed your things?" After all, Qiao's father pursed his lips and withdrew his gaze, asking in a gentle tone compared to the rest of the Qiao family.
Qiao Nian came down with her light luggage and let out a sigh.
Qiao Chen finally saw her and immediately put away his face that had been watching the commotion just now. He pretended to be calm and shouted, "Sister."
"..." Qiao Nian didn't even bother to let out a "hmm" and stepped directly in front of her.
Ignored by Qiao Nian, Qiao Chen pouted unwillingly, her long eyelashes hanging down like grievances. Her fair face didn't look much red, and was as weak as a white flower in the wind.
He Yujuan lowered her face on the spot, turning black. She clung to her cane and snorted, "I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?"
Qiao Chen immediately took her hand, lifted his head, shook his head weakly, and bit his lips to help her speak: "Grandma, forget it, sister is not in a good mood, it's okay with me."
With her words, He Yujuan looked even more displeased at the young girl passing by in front of her. Everywhere was a problem, and she spoke in disgust, "It's not like it's a child of the Qiao family. After teaching for more than ten years, I still can't change my petty demeanor!"
"Mom."
Qiao called out to her pleading for the people, walked up to Qiao Nian, and pretended to take out a card: "This is ten thousand yuan."
He sighed and handed it to Joe, saying, "Take it! Go back to your parents' house and listen well. You can keep this money to buy clothes. It may also be useful for future studies."
He has always been cautious in his actions, and it was at a critical time that the Qiao family won a government development project. Qiao Wei min did not want to make unnecessary mistakes.
He investigated the biological parents who came to pick up Qiao Nian, who seemed to be surnamed Jiang and whose profession was written as a teacher, from Luohe County.
Luohe is 300 kilometers away from the surrounding city, which is a well-known poverty-stricken county. Every year, entrepreneurs have to donate money to Luohe County for poverty alleviation, and he has also donated. That kind of teacher from a small county in the countryside, he didn't go into detail and automatically brought in the difficult rural teachers that are often interviewed in the news.
Qiao Nian is already in his third year of high school, and when he returns to Luohe, it is almost impossible for him to be admitted to university, let alone like Qiao Chen, who can go to Beijing to study at a university after finishing his studies at Ring No.1 Middle School.
