Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven
Chapter 349 Ode to Joy Qu Xiaoxiao 8
At this moment, Andy cast his gaze upon the usually cheerful and cheerful Qu Xiaoxiao. But she was sitting alone, quietly, a stark contrast to her usual self. She had her head lowered, her eyes dim and lifeless, looking downcast and gloomy, as if she were in a terrible state of mind.
Andy couldn't help but feel a trace of concern in her heart. She picked up a bottle of mineral water and walked gently to Qu Xiaoxiao. Then, she handed it to her gently and asked softly, "Xiao Qu, I see that you don't seem to be in a good mood. What happened?"
Hearing Andy's question, Qu Xiaoxiao slowly raised her head, her eyes slightly red. After a moment's silence, she slowly opened her mouth and said, "Andy... tell me, why is this happening? Why do so many people prefer sons and not daughters? No matter how outstanding a daughter is, and no matter how mediocre a son is, those people still stubbornly believe that sons are better than daughters, and even want to leave everything to their sons!"
Andy's heart sank after hearing this. She knew full well that in China, many families favored sons over daughters. She had assumed a bright and cheerful girl like Qu Xiaoxiao would have grown up in a more open-minded and fair environment, but now it seemed even her parents were the same. Andy looked at the dejected Qu Xiaoxiao before her, unsure how to comfort her.
Qu Xiaoxiao blinked her bright eyes, and continued with a slightly reddened look, "Andy, you don't know the twists and turns involved. When my mom and dad met, my dad was really penniless and destitute, and he had already divorced his ex-wife. Later, it was all thanks to my mom who accompanied him through all the hardships and difficulties, and after going through untold hardships, he built up the huge family business that our Qu family has today. However, my dad, for some reason, always wanted to leave our family business to me. The son from his ex-wife. Even on New Year's Eve trips back home, my dad never takes my daughter and me along, simply because I'm a girl. Not only that, he's constantly cleaning up the messes of my so-called brother, Qu Lianjie, and constantly using large sums of our family money to fill the holes he's created in his business. Recently, my mom couldn't stand it anymore and is planning to divorce my dad. I'm feeling like a ton of mixed feelings!
Andy frowned after hearing this. After a moment's contemplation, she slowly responded, "From a purely profit-oriented perspective, I quite support what Auntie is doing. After all, this way, you and Auntie can be protected from infringement on your rights and interests to the greatest extent possible."
Qu Xiaoxiao nodded gently, indicating that she understood what Andy said, but her face still couldn't hide the disappointment. She murmured softly to herself, "I understand the reasoning, but it's just hard to feel good. If they really get divorced, then my once warm home will be shattered..." As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and they looked like they were about to fall. Andy gently patted Qu Xiaoxiao's shoulder and gently comforted her, "Xiao Qu, no matter whether your parents choose to separate in the end, it can't change the fact that they are your parents! So, there's really no need for you to keep agonizing and worrying about this matter... Besides, you're already an adult! You should learn to look at these problems with a mature and rational mindset."
At this moment, Qu Xiaoxiao seemed to want to argue a few more words, but before she could say anything, Qiu Yingying's lively figure appeared at the door. At the same time, Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer told everyone that the crabs were ready.
Seeing this, Andy smiled and pulled out a bottle of long-treasured red wine from the wine cabinet. He expertly uncorked the bottle and slowly poured the jewel-red wine into several crystal-clear goblets. As the goblets were placed one by one on the dining table, the room was instantly filled with the rich, mellow aroma of wine.
Several people sat around the dining table, enjoying delicious crabs and chatting happily. Laughter and joy filled the air. Time slipped by unnoticed, and the night grew darker.
Perhaps because she was in a bad mood, or perhaps because she was too relaxed in the company of her friends, Qu Xiaoxiao had unknowingly drunk quite a bit of red wine. By the time the meal was over, she was already feeling a bit tipsy. After saying goodbye to Andy and the others, she stumbled out of Andy's room and staggered towards her own.
As soon as she returned to her room, the quiet after the bustle washed over her. Qu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness enveloping her. She knew in her heart that this feeling was not entirely her own, but rather influenced by the emotions of the original owner.
So, she fumbled for her phone from her pocket and called Yao Bin. Yao Bin was partying with a group of friends at the bar. When he heard Qu Xiaoxiao say she was drunk, his heart suddenly tightened, filled with worry. After hurriedly explaining to his friends, he got up and left the bar without hesitation, rushing to where Qu Xiaoxiao was.
