Chapter 207: Wanting to Go on a Trip

Jian Changsheng looked at Qiao Shuyi gently. “Didn’t I say that if I don’t come back before seven in the evening, you can eat first? You don’t have to wait for me.”

Qiao Shuyi smiled indifferently, and her eyes were gentle. “Nanny Xu prepared dinner late today. I wasn’t waiting for you.”

Jian Changsheng smiled. He knew that his wife didn’t mean what she said.

“Is Yiyi back?” Jian Changsheng asked casually.

Qiao Shuyi nodded and said helplessly, “I don’t know what happened in school, but she came back and went upstairs without a word. She locked herself in her room. Nanny Xu went up to call her but she didn’t come down.”

In the end, she looked at Jian Changsheng with a strange look. “You’ve spoiled her.”

A daughter was meant to be pampered. Jian Changsheng looked up and said, “I’ll go up and take a look.”

Qiao Shuyi nodded slightly. Her daughter was the closest to Changsheng. Whenever she was angry, only Changsheng could coax her.

Jian Changsheng quickly went upstairs, and Qiao Shuyi asked Nanny Xu to heat the dishes.

While the dishes were being heated up, Jian Changsheng brought Jian Yiyi downstairs.

Qiao Shuyi looked up at her daughter. Although she looked a little reluctant, she eventually came down.

Indeed, fathers were the best.

The family of three sat down together. The atmosphere instantly became much warmer. Jian Changsheng scooped a bowl of soup for Jian Yiyi. And with a kind fatherly look, he said, “Eating while still being angry is not good for your health. Let’s not think about it first. Be angry only after you finish eating?”

Qiao Shuyi chimed in, “Yiyi, did you fight with a cla.s.smate in school? Or did a teacher criticize you?”

Jian Yiyi didn’t want to say it, so she didn’t know what to say.

She then muttered, “I’m fine. Dad, Mom, let’s eat.”

Jian Changsheng and Qiao Shuyi looked at each other and didn’t say anything.

“Husband, have you been busy at the company recently?” Qiao Shuyi asked casually.

Since Jian Changsheng was often not at home, Qiao Shuyi could only talk to him at night when he was back.

Jian Changsheng smiled. “It’s fine. I mentioned a few projects were in operation before.”

“Wasn’t there a city government land auction a while ago? I didn’t have time to ask you about it. How was it?”

Sighing softly, Jian Changsheng couldn’t help but feel regretful at the thought of the auction. “There was a large piece of land and another one with the best location. Both were good, but another company s.n.a.t.c.hed them away.”

With that, he smiled in relief. “Forget it. Since I didn’t get it, there’s no point in thinking about it.”

Qiao Shuyi was puzzled, but Jian Yiyi, who had not said anything, asked, “Which company was it? Is there a real estate company in Baiyun City that can compete with the Jian Group?”

Qiao Shuyi also chimed, “The Chen family?”

“No.” Jian Changsheng shook his head. “It’s a new company called East Sea Real Estate! I’ve asked someone to check it. It’s a corporation that was registered not too long ago. Its subsidiary only had one million yuan as registered capital, but there’s a lot of liquid capital. The two pieces of land cost more than a hundred million yuan.”

When Qiao Shuyi heard this number, she was also a little shocked, but she didn’t ask further and just nodded lightly.

Then, she turned to Jian Changsheng and said, “Husband, it’s the first of May next week. I’m planning to take Yiyi and Yichen on a trip.”

“Okay!” Jian Changsheng agreed readily. He didn’t forget to care about Qiao Shuyi. “I’m afraid that you’ll be bored if you stay at home every day. It’s good to go out for a walk during the holidays. Do you plan to stay in China or go abroad?”

Qiao Shuyi’s gaze landed on Jian Yiyi as she asked gently, “Where does Yiyi want to go?”
