"He's angry, but why is he angry?" Qiao Dad looked puzzled. "At my age, it's not easy to find a job. It's a stroke of luck that you don't shun me and give me a chance to work, but why is Jingchen so mad?"
This is really strange.
Weilan's heart skipped a beat, and she felt uneasy.
She had kept this matter hidden from her brother, but what would she do if she didn't? She couldn't possibly tell him the truth, or the plan would never proceed.
She could only say to her father, "It's nothing, Dad, it's nothing. I'll persuade my brother!"
Just then, the phone rang.
Seeing it was Qiao Jingchen calling, Weilan's heart sank again. Oh no, her brother was calling to scold her for sure.
Weilan understood this but feared that if Qiao Dad and Aunt Fu overheard and things weren't handled properly, it would lead to trouble.
Weilan gave a pleading look toward Lu Hechen.
