Chapter 748: Duty, Responsibility

ao Baier burst into laughter directly.All at the table heard their conversation, even Pei’s mother couldn’t help but smile.Lu Qinian's expression was utterly despairing.He flared up in anger and roare..."Baby, you can't tell your dad about your mom. They've been separated for almost twenty years, and he's finally letting go. He's only recently started living a peaceful life. Whatever happens with your mom, please don't tell him. It will only cause him more trouble."

Gu Ruoyan pulled her into the kitchen to give her a lecture.

Qiao Bao'er thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Before, her father worried and worked hard for his company and her mother for most of his life. Now he should be able to let go of all the stress.

Gu Ruoyan glanced towards the living room, then retreated and asked in a hushed voice, "Bao'er, how is your mother over there"

"What kind of people has she been with all these years, and how is her life going"

Although Gu Ruyan hates her selfish and self-centered sister, as sisters, she always cares about her.

"Auntie, my mom... " Qiao Bao'er hesitated. "She lived on an island for those years and was with a chief man, that man had many other women."

Gu Ruoyan was very surprised when she heard this, "Polygamy"

"About the same."

Jo Baoer didn't understand the island's system. Those women were not really the leader's wives, but more like playthings for men. They had no status or identity at all.

"...My sister wouldn't possibly be willing to share her husband with another woman, would she"

Gu Ruyan couldn't understand for the life of her. Her elder sister had been blessed since birth, so proud and high-born that countless men in high society weren't worthy of her gaze.

"Does she really love that man so much"

"Bao'er, what kind of man is he" Gu Ruyue couldn't help but feel curious.

Joe thought for a moment, her face became somewhat complex. The only word she could think of to describe him was, "selfish."

Gu Ruoyan was astonished.

After all, he is Qiao Baor's biological father.

Qiao Baoer didn't say, that father had never wanted to acknowledge her. And in their eyes, her life was as insignificant as an ant, something that could be killed at will if it inconvenienced them.

"My mother chose to leave back then. I don't think it was because she loved that man very much. She was probably just attracted to the vanity and power that island gave her, the sense of victory over the other women who competed with her. Winning brought her great psychological satisfaction."

Both of them are selfish, what love can there be, it's ridiculous.

"Bao'er, you can't speak to your mother like that." Gu Ruoyan chided.

In Gu Ruyue's conservative view, even though her sister might have made many mistakes, as a child, she shouldn't say too much. "Your mother's affairs are none of your concern. Whatever retribution she faces in the future will be her own doing."

Qiao Baoer's words were on the tip of her tongue, but she hesitated.

Her mother has already died.

A short and stout figure strode in, pulling open the kitchen's glass door. Mo Gao said gruffly, "Alright, stop talking, stop talking. It's not worth it to waste your time on that kind of woman."

Mogo is a rough guy, he speaks simply and bluntly.

"You can't talk about my sister like that." What a trashy woman, those words are so hard to hear.

Gu Ruoyan always thinks of others, wanting to leave some dignity for her sister.

Qiao Bao'er looked at Mo Gao, her uncle, in surprise. "How did you get into my house"

It's almost 10 p.m. Why is Tang Yu's uncle still staying at her house

"Mogo was arrogant and bossy, he scolded directly, " ...You bitch! Are you tearing down the bridge after crossing it Don't you think about it You left with Jun Zhimu for half a year, and Tang Yu also left. We family members are not worried at all. Your aunt and grandma are so worried that they die every day, they pray to the Buddha on time every day just to accumulate some blessings to protect you."

"You need to be more filial to your aunt in the future, you know You must have accumulated eight lifetimes of good fortune to have such a caring aunt who constantly puts her heart and soul into looking after you."

Mo Gao glared at her and scolded her incessantly, his words flowing endlessly. Qiao Bao'er endured the scolding without a chance to ask another question. Moreover, Mo Gao didn't explain why he was still at her house so late.

"Alright, let's not talk about her anymore." Finally, Gu Ruyi softened her heart, "Bao'er, you've finally come back once, and I almost scolded you away."

"Like smoke, you're spoiling her too much. Look at this little brat, hasn't she ever had any manners from the time she was a child"

When Mo Gao turned to speak to Gu Ruoyan, his voice unconsciously slowed down and became much gentler.

Qiao Bao'er kept silent, not daring to say another word. Looking at the two elders before her, she felt something was amiss.

Gu Ruyan carried a pot of lotus seed sweet water out and gave Qiao Wenyu and He another bowl. Mo Gao took the opportunity to take Qiao Baoer to the back garden.

"From now on, don't tell your aunt about any of your bull**, you understand"

Mogao wore a fierce expression and warned her as soon as he spoke.

< Qiao Bao'er wasn't afraid of Mo Gao, her uncle. She just felt puzzled, "What does it have to do with you" >

Mo Gao was so choked by her words, he wanted to spit out blood. This little girl was always so blunt with her words.

"At that time, Lord Jun's shepherd set out to find you. He might have been worried about not being able to return, so in a moment of crisis, he entrusted me to take good care of your family, including your twin sons. After all, the old man from Lord Jun's family is eighty years old..."

Mo Gao's casual, dismissive explanation followed by a raised voice, shouting at her, "In short, I am your family now, do you hear me You must listen to what I say!"

qiao Bao'er wasn't unwilling to listen to Mo Gao's elder's words, but she felt a bit uncomfortable inside, unsure where something was wrong.

< Qiao Bao'er whispered, "My mother died." >

She felt obligated to let her family know.

When Mo Gao heard this, instead of showing any sympathy, he was furious and roared, "So what if he's dead!"

"To think that she deserves pity and sympathy just because she's dead. How many wicked things did she do while she was alive Otherwise, how could she have kidnapped you The risks Jun Zhi Mu and Tang Yu took were enormous. You all almost lost your lives coming back. Wasn't this all her fault"

"Does someone like this deserve to make your family sad and heartbroken"

qiao Bao'er's expression moved slightly; her thoughts were indeed too superficial.

Mo Gao continued to berate Qiao Bao'er without any politeness, "Qiao Bao'er, touch your own conscience. For the past twenty years of your life, haven't you lived a safe and secure life protected by your family Now you go and tell your family about that woman, there's only one outcome: they'll just feel sad and heartbroken."

" Qiao Ba'er, you're so grown up now. You should think about your family and protect them. They're getting old. "

"Some secrets, when kept to oneself, demonstrate responsibility and integrity."

Mo Gao spoke with righteous indignation.

"I, I understand." Qiao Bao'er was a little taken aback by his demeanor and immediately nodded.

Gu Ruyan saw them blowing cold air in the back garden and hurried over to urge, "Quickly come inside, you'll catch a cold."

Hearing Gu Ruyue's voice, Mo Gao restrained his imposing manner. He changed his expression as if turning on a switch and spoke in a conciliatory tone, "Ruyue, don't come out. It's windy outside. Let's go inside."

Qiao Baoer was blown by the chilly night wind, her hair disheveled and her mind even more muddled.o.""...just stay here comfortably and don't hesitate to call someone if you need anything."Zhu Xiaowei was already very familiar with the Jun family.
