Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 808: Chapter 808: Are You Trying to Make Me Take the Blame?

The food was set on the table just as Chief Qiao and Director Liu arrived.

Upon seeing them, Qiao Wenyu remarked, ”Uncle, you must have timed your arrival perfectly, didn’t you?”

Qiao Shaoguo shot a glance at his mischievous nephew, ”Do you think everyone is like you, always just thinking about food?”

Director Liu timely handed the pears he was carrying to Yunyi, ”Doctor Chu, these are from Chief Qiao. Just consider them as dessert.”

With that, everyone entered the house. Seeing the spread on the table, Chief Qiao commented, ”Xiaoliu, it seems we’re in for a treat today.”

At that moment, Wei Zijia was busy setting a stack of bowls on the table. Seeing Shaoguo come in, she greeted, ”Hello, Chief Qiao. Hello, Secretary Xiaoliu.”

Qiao Shaoguo looked back at his nephew behind him and then turned to Wei Zijia, ”Everyone here today is family. Since Wenyu is determined to be with you, I’ve called the family elder about it. From now on, you can just call me Uncle like Wenyu does.”

Listening to Qiao Shaoguo, Wei Zijia felt a lump in her throat. Was she being accepted?

Seeing her reaction, Qiao Wenyu urged, ”Zijia, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and greet him.”

Everyone in the room looked at Wei Zijia with a smile.

With her eyes slightly red, Wei Zijia looked at Qiao Shaoguo, ”Uncle.”

Qiao Shaoguo knew his sister-in-law had hurt this girl’s feelings in the past, but wasn’t it his nephew who eagerly followed her when she signed up to work in the countryside?

They were all young once. Since these two children are fond of each other, and more importantly, since my nephew is set on this girl, the family couldn’t just oppose it endlessly.

Over the past year, I have kept an eye on Wei Zijia. My nephew’s taste is not bad. The Wei Family is like rotten bamboo producing a good shoot, and though Wei Zijia may be shrewd, her character is commendable.

Once everyone was seated, Qiao Shaoguo turned to Yunyi, ”I heard from Wenyu that you brought over a lot of study materials. Thank you very much. It’s truly their good fortune to have a friend like you.”

The materials were handed to Ye Wenhui, but there were a total of four sets, clearly intended for Qiao Wenyu and his friends as well.

Ye Wenhui didn’t keep them to herself and directly shared them with everyone.

Even my own nephew came over to show off, talking about all sorts of things.

Although I mailed some materials myself which haven’t arrived yet, it gave this brat a reason to boast.

For Yunyi, those materials were easy to come by: ”We met by fate, Chief Qiao, you’re too kind.”

Qiao Shaoguo chuckled and said, ”Not only are you friends with Wenyu, but you’ve also had connections with the Ye Family. I’ve mentioned before, just call me Uncle like Wenyu does. Now that you’ve been transferred from the Agricultural Reclamation Group, you can call me Second Uncle Qiao.”

Just as Yunyi was about to greet him, Huo Jingrui interrupted, ”Second Brother Qiao, are you drunk even without drinking? Yunyi is my wife.”

Qiao Shaoguo slapped his forehead, ”Ah, it’s all because of that rascal Qiao Wenyu.”

Qiao Wenyu, ready to see his uncle embarrassed, was caught with a sneaky grin on his face by Qiao Shaoguo.

Qiao Shaoguo glared at him, ”Still dare to smirk like that?”

Qiao Wenyu cleared his throat lightly, ”Uncle, let’s talk about our own issues. Wasn’t it predetermined? You’re trying to blame me for your own mistake?”

Infuriated by his nephew, Qiao Shaoguo retorted, ”You little rascal, when did I make you take the blame?”

As Qiao Wenyu stood up to serve his uncle rice, he replied, ”Weren’t you just saying you were dragged down by me?”
