Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

They couldn't afford to offend even the Qiao family, let alone the Chi family, who didn't even take the Qiao family seriously.

If their family business fails because of their outspokenness, their family members will definitely kick them out.

Someone immediately became frightened and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Young Master Chi, I was drunk just now and spoke without thinking. Please don't take it to heart."

The others followed suit and admitted their mistakes.

"I misspoke earlier. I'm the one who's not presentable. I'm just a country bumpkin. Please don't be angry."

They had never seen Chi Xing so angry. His eyes were fixed on Qiao Yu'an, and his expression wasn't particularly unpleasant, but the oppressive aura emanating from him was overwhelming, as if he could crush them with a single finger.

Chi Xing ignored them and sat down next to Qiao Yu'an.

"Next time you encounter something like this, don't hold back."

He knew that Qiao Yu'an wasn't incapable of defeating these people; he just didn't want to cause trouble.

But Qiao Yu'an forgot that this life is different from the last; in this life, he has Chi Xing.

In a daze, Qiao Yu'an suddenly remembered that he really didn't need to be afraid of these people, or even worry that Madam Qiao would send him away, because with Chi Xing around, no one could do anything to him.

Qiao Yu'an's anger vanished instantly. He smiled and said, "I forgot just now. What if I said I wouldn't forgive them?"

Seeing their groveling apologies, Qiao Yu'an felt disgusted. They were only afraid of the Chi family; they weren't really admitting their mistakes.

Akahoshi picked up a small cake and took a bite.

"Okay, then I won't forgive him. I'll tell my older brother."

He's so good at complaining that Akahoshi is skilled at it in his past life that he doesn't need to lift a finger.

Not only that, he also dragged Qiao Yu'an to lie down with him. With an older brother and sister-in-law at home, and Chu Chu in the future, the two of them didn't need to work hard at all.

Qiao Yu'an was amused by his self-righteous manner. Ever since Chi Xing's true nature was exposed, his personality has become more and more like a puppy lying down, never lifting a finger if his older brother can handle it.

Qiao Yu'an was happy to indulge him, thinking that he could always earn money to support the family in the future.

But thinking about the Chi family, Qiao Yu'an felt that they might really be able to lie low for the rest of their lives.

Seeing that apologizing to Chixing was useless, those people could only look to Qiao Yu'an.

The person who spoke first was closest to Qiao Ting, and now he had no choice but to speak to Qiao Yu'an in a humble manner.

"Young Master Qiao, I was just being rude. Please don't be angry. I'll do anything you want. Can you forgive me?"

Qiao Yu'an then glanced at the man surnamed Qu and realized that he had brought all these people with him.

Ironically, Mrs. Qiao usually looks down on people from so-called impoverished families, yet this person is still foolishly acting as Qiao Ting's dog. It's truly laughable.

He reached out, pointed to the foreign liquor on the table, and said with a smile, "Drink it all."

The man glanced cautiously at Chixing, but couldn't discern anything.

My first instinct was to decline: "Could we get another bottle?"

He hated Qiao Yu'an to the core, but dared not show it on his face.

Qiao Yu'an didn't say anything more, but picked up a glass of juice and offered it to Chi Xing, teasingly saying:

"Brother Xing, it seems your influence isn't all that great after all."

Chi Xing glanced at the man lightly, making him break out in a cold sweat.

"I'll drink, I'll drink."

The man picked up the bottle of wine, mustered his courage, tilted his head back, and took large gulps.

No one else dared to stop him, much less speak up for him.

They couldn't possibly finish such strong liquor.

Qiao Yu'an watched him drink quietly, watching him choke and cough because he couldn't drink it all, and finally collapsed on the sofa.

With a hoarse voice, she asked, "I've finished drinking, could you... could you please let me go..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qiao Yu'an picked up a glass of wine, stood up, and poured it directly in his face.

"When did I say I was going to let you go?"

"Cough cough cough..."

The man choked again, and a series of violent coughs made his whole body turn red.

Qiao Yu'an looked at the others, whose heads were almost touching the ground.

He didn't care whether Akahoshi would deal with them or not; he just didn't want to see these people, so he dragged Akahoshi to another place.

The banquet began soon. It was Qiao Fang's birthday banquet. He stood on the stage and said a few words, and then cut the cake with Mrs. Qiao.

At this moment, Mrs. Qiao called Qiao Ting up on stage, saying that the three of them should cut the cake together.

This would have been normal in the past, but now that many people know about Qiao Yu'an's existence, wouldn't saying this be a slap in the face to Qiao Yu'an?

Qiao Fang was somewhat displeased with his wife's actions, but he didn't want to embarrass her in public.

However, after Qiao Ting went up, she looked at Qiao Yu'an and said, "Brother, you've only come home after so many years. Why don't you come up with us?"

This sounds like the words of a generous older brother who dotes on and indulges his younger brother.

On the contrary, Mrs. Qiao, as the mother, seemed strange no matter how you looked at it.

Who would treat their own child like that? Anyone who didn't know better would think that Qiao Ting was Mrs. Qiao's biological child.

Qiao Yu'an remained unmoved, so Qiao Fang could only smile and nod: "Xiao Yu, come on up, it's Dad's birthday today."

The implication is that it's my birthday today, so don't be ungrateful and embarrass me.

"Okay." Qiao Yu'an gave Chi Xing a reassuring look and walked over.

After glancing at Madam Qiao, Qiao Yu'an said, "Mom is with my brother all day long. I thought she didn't want me to come up here."

Mrs. Qiao's smiling face immediately fell, and she said through gritted teeth, "What nonsense are you talking about, child? They're both my flesh and blood, how could I not be happy?"

Qiao Ting quickly added, "Yes, why wouldn't Mom be happy? It's all my fault. I was the one who pulled Mom aside to talk."

As he spoke, he took two glasses of wine and said with a smile, "I'd like to offer you a toast, so don't hold a grudge against me."

The people in the audience just watched them talk, as if it really was just two kids having a little argument.

Qiao Yu'an glanced down at the wine, feeling something was off, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Chi Xing.

Akahoshi already knew what Jodin was planning, and before he even served the drinks, he had 250 switch the positions of the two glasses.

At this moment, Qiao Yu'an looked over, and he smiled and nodded slightly at him.

Qiao Yu'an didn't know why, but seeing Chi Xing made him feel at ease. He thought that even if there was a real problem, Chi Xing would help him.

He nodded, clinked glasses with Qiao Ting, and drank his wine without hesitation.

The family of four cuts the cake, looking very happy.

Because he had been drinking, Qiao Yu'an's face was a little flushed when he came down, and Chi Xing quickly walked to his side.

Just then, a waiter carrying a tray walked over and accidentally bumped into Qiao Yu'an. Chi Xing couldn't stop him in time.

Just as she was about to get angry, Qiao Yu'an tugged at her clothes.

"Come with me to change my clothes."
