Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Akahoshi thought his wife would be bullied by this family, so he found an excuse to bring Chuchu over for a visit.

He watched as Madam Qiao led Qiao Ting out of the house before entering the Qiao family residence.

Chi Xing was a neighbor of the Qiao family. When he was a child, he would often play with his friends, including Qiao Xuan, the eldest son of the Qiao family.

Now that Qiao Xuan has gone abroad, he hasn't come over much. This time, it was only because Chu Chu said she wanted to come and visit that the Qiao family's butler let them in.

As soon as he arrived at the restaurant entrance, Akahoshi saw his wife surrounded by four or five maids dressed as maids, and one of the maids was feeding him crab meat with a small spoon.

Akahoshi's smile froze on his face. He took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.

“Brother Piaoniang…”

Upon first seeing Qiao Yu'an, she ran to his side with her short legs.

Qiao Yu'an was charmed by the baby's sweet voice and looked down to see the little baby staring at her with big, round eyes.

"Whose child are you?"

Qiao Yu'an looked up and saw a tall man standing at the door. He had broad shoulders, long legs, deep-set features, and a high nose bridge, and looked somewhat like a little child.

"This is...your child?"

Qiao Yu'an tentatively inquired, not knowing why, but he didn't want this man to have a wife and children.

"No, he's my uncle~," Chu Chu said in her childish voice.

Qiao Yu'an took a serious look at Chi Xing, and the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed.

At this moment, Akahoshi spoke up: "Are you Uncle Qiao's younger brother who was just found? My name is Akahoshi."

After saying that, he pointed to the child clinging to Qiao Yu'an's legs: "He is my eldest brother's son, and his nickname is Chu Chu."

"Red Star?"

Qiao Yu'an's pupils contracted slightly upon hearing his name.

If it's that Akahoshi from next door, isn't he the man who was stabbed to death by Jodin in his past life?

At that time, Qiao Yu'an was still in a soul state, and the appearance of the people around him was not very clear. Now, looking at Chi Xing's figure, he really does look like that innocent man.

For a moment, Qiao Yu'an stared at Chi Xing's face until the other person walked up to him.

He suddenly realized that it was the first time he had ever stared at someone like that, and he felt a little guilty.

"Hey, have you guys eaten yet? I eat alone at home, want to join us?"

Qiao Yu'an looked at the large table of food and felt it was a waste to throw it all away.

Looking at the food, Akahoshi almost blurted out "I'll eat it."

He shook his head: "Not yet, if you don't mind."

Qiao Yu'an was surprised by Chi Xing's easygoing nature and said warmly, "Of course I don't mind."

Then he said to the maids, "Go and get bowls and chopsticks for Akahoshi and Chuchu."

When the maid saw another handsome man, she immediately went to get two more sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Chu Chu tried to climb up Qiao Yu'an's legs, but Chi Xing grabbed her by the back of her collar and pulled her down.

"Don't disturb your uncle's meal."

Chu Chu: "It's not Uncle, it's Brother Piao Niang."

Akahoshi: ...We're from different generations.

He lifted the fair-skinned child onto a chair next to him and sat down next to Qiao Yu'an.

"You still don't know your younger brother's name?" Chi Xing was a few years older than Qiao Yu'an, so she naturally called him her younger brother.

Qiao Yu'an didn't seem to care much about being addressed: "My name is Qiao Yu'an, and I just arrived here today."

"Then I'll call you Xiaoyu from now on."

Akahoshi asked again, "Are you settling in well here? Why aren't Auntie and the others here?"

The maids brought over bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of Akahoshi, who naturally picked up a shrimp and started peeling it.

When the topic of Qiao's mother came up, Qiao Yu'an wanted to skip it, but when he thought of Chi Xing's death in his previous life, he instantly showed a wronged expression.

“Mom took my brother Qiaoting out to eat. I don’t think I should come here and disturb their lives.”

Qiao Yu'an lowered her head slightly, her delicate eyebrows and eyes drooping, looking wronged no matter how you looked at her.

Akahoshi's heart also ached with each thud.

He loathed the Qiao family. Despite being their biological son, they gave him a cold shoulder on his first day home.

Seeing his head drooping, looking just like a homeless puppy, Akahoshi reached out and ruffled his hair.

"It's okay, just call me Brother Xing from now on, and you can come and play with me every day."

Chu Chu also stuck her head out and said in a childish voice, "Brother Piao Niang will play with Chu Chu from now on."

Looking at the two similar-looking people, one big and one small, Qiao Yu'an felt a warmth he had never experienced before, and he was a little envious.

At the same time, it strengthened my resolve.

We can't let Qiaoting hurt Akahoshi, this sunny and handsome young man.

"Okay, from now on we're friends."

Akahoshi put the peeled shrimp into his bowl: "I'll peel the shrimp for you."

"Thank you."

Qiao Yu'an expressed his sincere gratitude.

After the meal, Qiao Yu'an was very satisfied. He had to admit that he had lived too cautiously in his previous life, always accommodating the Qiao family. Not only did he not enjoy any of the things he was supposed to enjoy, but he also lost his life.

It's really stupid.

After dinner, Chi Xing invited Qiao Yu'an to visit his home, but Qiao Yu'an declined.

He needs to figure out how to bring down the Qiao family.

Chixing didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing that he was unwilling to come over, she assumed that he was just shy.

It wasn't until evening that Qiao Yu'an saw Madam Qiao and Qiao Ting returning from outside, carrying large and small bags.

"The new products at that store today are quite good."

Upon entering and seeing someone sitting on the sofa, Mrs. Qiao was startled.

But she quickly remembered her youngest son who had just returned home. She breathed a sigh of relief, but still scolded him a little, "Why are you sitting here all alone? You startled me."

Qiao Ting sighed, put down her things, and helped Mrs. Qiao sit down.

“Mom, didn’t we say we should be nicer to your brother? He didn’t mean to scare you.”

Upon hearing this, Madam Qiao's expression softened, and she patted Qiao Ting's hand, saying, "You're so sensible."

She thought to herself, "The child I raised myself is the best; he's so well-behaved and considerate."

So what if it's her own child? It's not like she lost it. Why should she be blamed when it comes back? It's like she's some kind of wicked mother.

The maid brought tea, and Mrs. Qiao sat on the sofa, not giving Qiao Yu'an a second glance.

Qiao Ting, on the other hand, walked enthusiastically to Qiao Yu'an's side with two paper bags in her hand, her tone tinged with guilt: "Little brother, this is a gift that Mom and I bought for you. We don't know if you'll like it."

Qiao Yu'an looked at him, and from an angle where Qiao's mother couldn't see, Qiao Ting's eyes were defiant, as if to say: Look, these are all the ones I didn't choose, only the ones I didn't want could be yours.

Qiao Yu'an just smiled and didn't reach out to take the bag, which displeased Madam Qiao.

"You refuse to accept the gift your second brother bought for you despite past grievances? Or are you holding a grudge against me?"

Mrs. Qiao, who had been a devoted wife and mother her whole life, never imagined that she would owe a child so much.

But the truth was right in front of her, making her seem incompetent and a failure. Her lifelong pride was destroyed in an instant, and Madam Qiao felt disgusted with Qiao Yu'an.
