Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Chapter 31 The Cannon Fodder Young Master from the Countryside (04)

She smiled ingratiatingly, hoping Qiao Yu'an would go inside quickly.

Qiao Yu'an could only nod and go inside.

Half an hour later, he finished showering and casually grabbed a set of clothes from the closet and put them on.

His wheat-colored skin looked perfectly natural in a white shirt and light-colored loose jeans; on the contrary, it made him look incredibly youthful.

Standing at 1.8 meters tall, he's so tall that just standing there makes people want to take a second look.

Looking in the mirror, Qiao Yu'an immediately saw a family photo of the four of them displayed on the cabinet next to her.

Both of Qiao's parents are good-looking. The eldest son inherited his father's appearance, with sharp and aggressive features, and he looks like a cool and aloof handsome guy.

The little boy they were protecting in the middle was rather chubby, fair-skinned, with almond-shaped eyes and a slightly flat nose that didn't resemble anyone else.

Looking at the surroundings, the place where the photo was taken must be a luxury cruise ship. Looking at those smiles, anyone who sees them would sigh and say, "What a loving family!"

If he hadn't died once, Qiao Yu'an would probably be foolishly thinking about how to integrate into this family.

Qiao Yu'an looked in the mirror again and reached out to touch her face.

It's good that his face doesn't have the scars from his past life.

Just now, he accidentally fell asleep in the bathtub, and a sudden wave of dizziness brought many memories to Qiao Yu'an's mind.

He seemed to have returned to the day he first came to the Qiao family.

In his previous life, after he died, his soul drifted back to his adoptive parents.

He watched his adoptive parents go to the Qiao family to find him, and watched his older brothers get into a conflict with Qiao Ting.

Qiao Ting accidentally killed a man, but pinned the blame on her parents and two older brothers. Because of her connections with the Qiao family, everyone was killed by Qiao Ting.

Qiao Yu'an could only watch helplessly as all of this happened. He hated Qiao Ting and the Qiao family to the core.

Unexpectedly, he still had a chance. This time, he was going to avenge his parents.

He looked at the hatred in his own eyes in the mirror, closed his eyes, and tried to calm himself down.

There was a knock on the door, and Qiao Yu'an resumed her usual gentle expression, flashing a sunny and cheerful smile at herself in the mirror.

Downstairs, Qiao Ting sat at the dining table with her parents, glancing up at the stairs every now and then: "Mom and Dad, should I go and call Xiaoyu down? He probably didn't take this long on purpose."

Mrs. Qiao's expression was not good: "Sit down, you don't need to do these things."

Then she complained to Qiao's father in a low voice, "I told you not to bring him back. He's been away for so many years, who knows what kind of person he'll become. It's all your fault for insisting on bringing him here."

Mr. Qiao also looked dissatisfied: "He's our own son, after all. What kind of behavior is this? If you're not satisfied, then teach him properly yourself."

When Qiao Yu'an went downstairs, she was met with the disapproving looks from her parents, and she roughly knew why.

He casually walked to the dining table and found an empty seat.

"What are all these?" Qiao Yu'an asked curiously, looking at the seafood on the table.

However, to Qiao's mother, these words meant that Qiao Yu'an was dissatisfied with the food.

She put down her chopsticks and said, "These dishes were flown in from abroad early this morning. If you're not satisfied, then don't eat them."

Qiao Yu'an was startled by her words and quickly waved his hand, saying, "That's not what I meant. I'm sorry, I... I've just never seen such beautiful dishes before."

After speaking, Qiao Yu'an lowered her head, like an insecure child encountering a toy she had never seen before.

When Mr. Qiao saw this, he gave his wife a disapproving look.

"Never mind your mom, she must be hungry after the journey, let's eat."

After saying that, they started eating. The group at the table were all enjoying themselves. Only Qiao Yu'an occasionally picked at the rice in his bowl, looking at the lobsters and crabs on the table with a sense of helplessness.

In Qiao's mother's eyes, these things were very petty and not at all like what a child from a wealthy family should be like.

At this moment, Qiao Ting seemed to realize something and said with a slightly embarrassed smile, "Sorry, little Yu, I didn't know you couldn't peel shrimp. Let me help you."

Qiao Yu'an glanced at him and laughed, "Okay, I've never eaten these before. You know, they don't have these in the countryside."

Then, as if she had said something wrong, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I forgot you've never been to the countryside. Your parents really want you to go. Brother Ting is so filial, he'll go and visit, right?"

Qiao Ting found these words strange no matter how she listened to them, but seeing Qiao Yu'an's innocent look, she realized she was overthinking it.

This is just a country bumpkin from the countryside. According to the information he investigated, the countryside where Qiao Yu'an lives is actually a grassland.

Their family lived a nomadic life, often struggling to even feed themselves, and the people there were known for their fierce and unruly nature, so they naturally couldn't have learned these skills.

Qiao Ting glanced at her parents, who were indeed looking at her. She could only obediently reply, "I... I haven't been there either. Once I find out their current address, I will definitely go to find them."

It had been a long time since Qiao Yu'an had last been home. In fact, he didn't know where his parents had moved to. He was brought here as soon as he was on vacation from university.

"Then why not bring them here? I heard from Aunt Liu that you have the right to use this house, so it's not wrong to bring them here to live, is it?"

Qiao Yu'an's words made the others frown. Qiao Ting immediately looked at Qiao's father, who indeed frowned.

"What are you talking about? When did I say this house is mine?"

Qiao Ting's voice was a bit loud, which startled Qiao Yu'an.

Qiao Ting suddenly realized what was happening, her tone instantly softened, and an unnatural smile appeared on her face: "You must have misheard, right? This is Mom and Dad's house."

Qiao Yu'an tilted her head: "Really? But Aunt Liu said that you gave me the room, so I thought you gave me permission to stay here."

"No, Aunt Liu must be making things up," Qiao Ting denied outright.

He cursed Liu Ma inwardly for being stupid. He had only asked Liu Ma to make things difficult for Qiao Yu'an, but he didn't expect her to be so foolish as to say such a thing.

It's important to know that Mr. Qiao was particularly authoritarian in this family; nothing could go against his wishes.

Right now, he might be thinking to himself that he's going to fight for the family fortune.

As expected, Qiao's father looked at Qiao Ting with sharp eyes, his tone anything but gentle: "What's going on?"

Qiao Ting immediately shook her head: "Dad, I didn't say that. That room was indeed where I used to live. I thought it had good lighting, so I let my younger brother live there. Maybe Aunt Liu is wrong."

"Oh dear, it's no big deal. Tingting mentioned it a few days ago," said Qiao's mother, looking impatient.

She then looked at Qiao Yu'an, as if she thought he was being unreasonable: "You too, it's such a small matter, why are you being so sarcastic? It's just a matter of one room, why bring it up at the dinner table?"
