Chapter 47

Sitting in the back seat of the jeep, Qiao Changhai’s honest smile disappeared in an instant.

He looked carefully at Shen Xiao who was driving in front of him, and said to Qiao Baozhu with an unhappy face: “Girl, you did not do it right today.”

“You are a military family member, you should be careful about the impact of your words and actions. How can you bring your son-in-law to my unit? If someone spreads it and ruins my son-in-law’s reputation, I will not forgive you.”

Although Qiao Baozhu didn’t say hello to Shen Xiao, if Shen Xiao was unwilling to cooperate, he wouldn’t have gotten out of the car just now, and he wouldn’t have taken the initiative to distribute wedding candy to his father-in-law’s colleagues.

“Dad, this is not Baozhu’s fault.”

“I am your son-in-law, so it is my duty to pick you up from get off work. Whoever wants to gossip can gossip, this little thing has no impact on me.”

Qiao Changhai opened his mouth but didn’t say anything. He just sighed lightly, “Dad knows what you mean. Although I’m not afraid of the impact, don’t be so high-profile.”

Qiao Baozhu also knew that what she did today was a bit too much, which was not in line with her father’s habit of keeping a low profile.

She knew he didn’t like it, but she did it anyway.

No matter what era, there are always people who bully the weak and fear the strong. If you don’t show your claws, they will think you are easy to bully.

She doesn’t care whether Shen Xiao is angry or not!

Since she will take over Bai Hongmei’s affairs in the future, Shen Xiao has to give her some interest.

After all, they are husband and wife, and it is only natural for her to borrow his power.

The atmosphere in the car was a little depressed, Shen Xiao glanced at the little girl next to him. She was puffing up her cheeks angrily, like a little bun.

It’s really cute.

Shen Xiao glanced at the rearview mirror. Qiao Changhai’s honest face was covered with wrinkles. He leaned forward, as if he wanted to see Qiao Baozhu’s expression.

This is because he felt that he had said something wrong and made his daughter angry.

Shen Xiao has long known that his father-in-law loves Qiao Baozhu very much. Although they are not his biological daughter, he is better than her. Now that he sees her with his own eyes, a warm feeling flows through his heart.

“Dad, how are the colleagues at the repair shop?”

Shen Xiao spoke to break the silence in the car and took the initiative to chat with Qiao Changhai.

“Yeah, everything is fine.”

Qiao Changhai thought about it for a moment, then praised his colleague with a smile.

“What’s good about that? There are few people working in a department store who are not snobs.”

“My dad is a latecomer. He was able to enter the city because he saved Master Shen’s life and relied on his connections. He worked as an apprentice for Master Shen in the repair shop. He was a temporary worker and a disabled person with inconvenient legs and feet. Over the years, he has been bullied by those people.”

“When I went to see my dad when I was little, those people spoke rudely to me when they saw me.”

“I saw you here today. What a guy! You’ve been praised one by one. You’re a man who changes with the wind. Even movie stars have to call you senior when they come.”

Qiao Baozhu’s voice was soft, and she wasn’t very sharp when she cursed. Shen Xiao could tell that she had been holding back her anger for a long time.

He didn’t feel that he was being used, nor did he think that Qiao Baozhu had done anything wrong. Instead, he was very glad that he could help her.

The car was heading towards the urban village. When it was about to reach the shantytown, Qiao Changhai suddenly patted Qiao Baozhu on the shoulder.

“My dear, why don’t we go to the state-owned restaurant? Our house is small and there is no place for you to sit. Put me down and go to the state-owned restaurant to order food. I will go home and call your mother to come and meet you. My dear, you are coming home today, so let’s go to the restaurant for a meal.”

Seeing that Qiao Baozhu didn’t respond, Qiao Changhai became anxious and patted his daughter’s shoulder hard.

“Shen Xiao, just drop me off on the side of the road.”

Shen Xiao didn’t move and glanced at Qiao Baozhu.

“Go straight ahead, enter the fourth street in the shantytown, and turn left. The first house is ours.”

Qiao Changhai thought his daughter didn’t understand his hint, so he hurriedly urged her, “Oh, no need to go in. The road near our house is narrow, and it’s not easy to drive in.”

“Hurry up and take Shen Xiao to the state-owned restaurant. After dinner, you still have to go back.”

“Dad, Shen Xiao knows what our family is like. I never thought it was shameful to live in a shantytown, nor did I think there was anything shameful about our shack.”

“Shen Xiao, today I’ll show you where I grew up.”
