Qin Ruoyin's words were like a small stone that fell into a calm lake, creating ripples and making his heart beat.

Although he tried hard to control his emotions, the hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, revealing his emotions.

He picked up a shrimp, removed the shell, and placed it in Shen Qingli's bowl.

Shen Qingli, who was concentrating on eating, was stunned for a moment when she saw the shrimp suddenly appear.

She raised her head and looked in the direction of the chopsticks, and met Qiao Jinnian's gentle eyes.

"I heard you like shrimp."

Shen Qingli's eyelashes trembled slightly, hiding the shock in her heart.

She moved her lips and stammered, "How can I trouble you? Eat it too."

She didn't expect Qiao Jinnian to pick up some food for her.

She clearly felt that two pairs of eyes were fixed on her.

Seeing Shen Qingli's flattered look, Qin Ruoyin rolled her eyes imperceptibly.

Tsk, how hypocritical.

Mother Qin was happy to see this happen. She laughed and said, "Qingli, don't be polite. If you like shrimp, let Jinnian pick it for you."

After these words came out, Shen Qingli felt more pressured.

How dare she ask Qiao Jinnian to pick food for her?

At this moment, there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside the door.

Soon, a tall figure walked in.

Qin Xiao heard from his assistant that Qin's mother had brought Shen Qingli over.

When he heard the news, the veins on his forehead jumped.

The last time Qin's mother had a car accident, he suspected Shen Qingli's identity and sent people to investigate, and he actually found out some things.

That year, Qin's mother gave birth in the hospital, and Qin Xiao was on a business trip at that time.

When he heard the news, he rushed back as quickly as possible.

When they arrived at the hospital, Qin's mother had already given birth, and the delivery had exhausted all her strength.

When Qin Xiao arrived at the hospital and saw the child, he found that the child had stopped breathing.

At that moment, he endured the pain, concealed the news from Qin's mother, and punished the people who were with Qin's mother.

When Qin's mother asked about the child, he brought an abandoned baby girl from somewhere else.

This baby girl is Qin Ruoyin.

In fact, the baby girl did not die, but was abducted and sold.

After being transferred several times, he was finally sold to the Shen family.

Zhao Zilan from the Shen family had been married for several years, but her pregnancy was still not moving. Worried, she bought Shen Qingli from a human trafficker.

After Shen Qingli had been raised in the Shen family for several years, Zhao Zilan finally became pregnant.

After she gave birth to Shen Qingrong, she treated Shen Qingli worse and worse.

After all, she is not her biological daughter, so how could she take good care of her?

When Qin Xiao saw this information, he was shaking with anger.

Although he was always strict with Qin Ruoyin, he never let her suffer and raised her well.

And his biological daughter, Shen Qingli, suffered a lot of grievances in the Shen family.

I don’t know how she has survived these twenty years.

Although he knew the truth, Qin Xiao didn't know how to tell his mother about it.

After all, he had concealed it from her for more than 20 years, and she treated Qin Ruoyin as her daughter.

If she knew her daughter was suffering out there, she would probably hate him.

I hate him for not telling the truth back then.

He was also helpless at that time. A pregnant woman’s emotions cannot fluctuate too much after giving birth.

If she knew her daughter was dead, she would be devastated.

Although his original approach was wrong, Qin Xiao did not regret his decision.

Feeling guilty, Qin Xiao rushed back from the company just to take a good look at Shen Qingli.

When he reached the door, he hesitated.

Before in the hospital, he treated her coldly, wondering what she thought of him.

How should he face her if he goes in now?

Qin Xiao, who usually had a serious face, now looked troubled.

The servant reminded him, "Sir, the madam is having dinner."

Qin Xiao paused, then returned to his cold and composed look.

When he entered the restaurant, everyone looked at him.

"Qin Xiao, why did you come back so early today?" Qin's mother was a little surprised.

This is no wonder, as Qin Xiao usually puts his career first and works until very late every day.

It's quite rare that I came back today when they were having dinner.

Qin Xiao slowed down his pace as he walked towards the dining table and glanced at Shen Qingli.

He noticed that Shen Qingli's body froze when she saw him.

He couldn't help frowning, and his expression became even uglier.

After he sat down, Mother Qin handed him some food and asked, "What's wrong? You look so unhappy. Are you unhappy at work?"

Qin Xiao flatly denied it, "It's okay, Wanqing, don't worry."

Seeing that he looked a little tired but there was nothing wrong with him, Qin's mother felt relieved.

"Uncle Qin." Qiao Jinnian shouted to Qin Xiao, and Qin Xiao nodded slightly to him.

Shen Qingli felt a little uncomfortable since Qin Xiao came in.

She still remembered what he said to her last time in the hospital.

She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and just wanted to finish her meal and leave.

Suddenly, someone brought her some food. She thought it was Qin's mother, but when she looked up suddenly, she saw Qin Xiao's sharp eyes.

This action made her eyes widen in disbelief.

"Dad, why are you picking food for her?" Qin Ruoyin stared at Shen Qingli coldly, her eyes full of jealousy.

Mother Qin stared at Qin Xiao in astonishment, "Qin Xiao, what are you doing?"

Why did she feel that there was something wrong with her husband?

From the moment he came in, his eyes were on Qingli.

Her eyes moved back and forth between the two bodies, and this sight made Qin's mother's pupils shrink.

Why do Shen Qingli and Qin Xiao look so similar?

Is there some secret in this?

For a moment, Qin's mother lost her appetite.

Qin Xiao came to his senses after being reminded by his wife and daughter. He said calmly, "I was mistaken. I wanted to give it to Yinyin."

Qin Xiao's explanation sounded weak and feeble, as if he was trying to hide his inner panic.

Why is he panicking? Mother Qin stared at Qin Xiao, trying to see through him.

Although Qin Xiao explained, Qin Ruoyin still felt uncomfortable.

She glared at Shen Qingli fiercely. If she hadn't been there, how could her father have made a mistake in identifying the person?

Shen Qingli looked a little innocent, and she didn't understand what Qin Xiao meant.

Is he warning her not to come to their Qin family?

Thinking of this, Shen Qingli lowered her head and suppressed her presence.

Seeing Shen Qingli's actions, Qin Xiao felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his heart.

He didn't perform well this time, which made everyone suspicious.

More importantly, his daughter had an even worse impression of him.

The meal was finished with everyone having different thoughts.

Even though Qin's mother was unhappy, she still asked Qiao Jinnian to take Shen Qingli to visit Qin's house.

"Jinnian, take Qingli to the garden and have a chat. You young people will always have something to talk about when you are together."

When she said this, she didn't even glance at Shen Qingli.

Shen Qingli noticed Qin's mother's coldness. She wanted to leave early, but was pulled away by Qiao Jinnian.

Watching their receding backs, Qin Ruoyin picked up her phone and quickly took a photo.

She sent the photo to someone, who replied after receiving the photo: Don't worry, Miss Qin, I will arrange it according to your instructions.
