Rebirth: Jiaojiao is delicate in public, but ruthless in private.

When Qiao Ruan saw his face clearly, she was slightly taken aback. In her previous life, after she went to the Fu family in Kyoto, she didn't have much interaction with this eldest son of the Fu family.

After all, this person holds a very high position and rarely returns to his old home.

Later, when Qiao Ruan was kicked out of the Fu family because of the scandal, she heard that the eldest son of the Fu family seemed to have died at the border. Because of the sacrifice of the eldest son, the old leader, who was an old man who had lost his son, almost couldn't hold on.

The Fu family was reported again... In short, the Fu family was destroyed and did not have a good ending.

At that time, Qiao Ruan was already preoccupied with her own problems and did not pay much attention to the Fu family who had kicked her out of their home.

Looking back now, if she hadn't been bewitched, and it was as if she had been forcibly demoted, and the Fu family hadn't mistreated her, why would she have been so reckless as to be kicked out of the family?

Qiao Ruan had mixed feelings, but having been given a second chance at life, she didn't want to repeat the same mistakes, so she wanted to leave a good impression on the Fu family.

So Qiao Ruan took the initiative to greet him: "Thank you for coming to pay your respects to my father."

Her voice was soft and gentle, very pleasant to hear. Unfortunately, Fu Hanchen had just heard how she used that gentle voice to utter such greedy words. He raised an eyebrow and concealed the disgust in his eyes.

Fu Hanchen didn't even offer a nod in response; his coldness was extreme.

Qiao Ruan was only stunned for a moment, but she regained her composure under her cousin's mocking gaze. It didn't matter if she was indifferent; she just wanted to leave a good impression, but she didn't intend to fawn over anyone.

"Ruan girl, what are you standing there for? Go and kowtow to your father again to say goodbye." Aunt pushed Qiao Ruan.

Qiao Ruan composed herself and looked at her father's photo on the memorial tablet.

She only had her father from birth; her mother ran away, and her father later went to the army, so he entrusted her to her eldest brother's family.

She sent all her monthly allowance and bonuses to her uncle's family, asking them to take care of her.

Qiao Ruan recalls seeing her father only once every few years.

In her previous life, when she was down on her luck, she had also complained about her father. If her father were still alive, how could she have been so helpless and bullied like this?

Qiao Ruan finally understood that her father loved her very much. Before he died, he entrusted his old leader to protect his daughter. It was her own fault for not cherishing him and for bringing this upon herself.

Qiao Ruan stepped forward and knelt down solemnly before her father's memorial tablet, kowtowing three times.

Qiao Ruan closed her eyes, and a tear silently slid down her cheek.

It is guilt, it is regret, it is rebirth.

Dad, don't worry, your daughter will definitely live a good life.

She was slender, and the loose black clothes she wore looked empty on her. From Fu Hanchen's perspective, he could just see her thin and white neck, and the tears in the corners of her eyes instantly fell into his eyes as well.

I never expected that someone so opportunistic would have any genuine feelings for his own father.

He thought that she truly believed her biological father was dead, and that she would only be happy to be adopted by a wealthy family.

After Qiao Ruan finished kowtowing, she stood up, turned around, and looked back at the Qiao family.

She didn't care at all that her forehead was bruised and stained with blood.

Fu Hanchen's gaze swept over her flushed forehead, and he said calmly, "Let's go."

He turned to leave, but then he heard her soft yet firm voice behind him: "Wait a minute."

kindness?

Everyone looked at her in confusion. Shouldn't Qiao Ruan have followed the Fu family and fled the impoverished Qiao Family Village?

Qiao Ruan walked up to her uncle and aunt and said earnestly, "Thank you so much for taking care of me all these years."

Uncle Qiao and his wife were taken aback, then nodded somewhat awkwardly. Their family hadn't exactly been very supportive of Qiao Ruan...

Qiao Meng scoffed, "What are you pretending for?"

She glanced at the Fu family members again, somewhat absentmindedly. They were so handsome; she wished she were the one who had been adopted.

Fu Hanchen also stared at Qiao Ruan with an ambiguous expression. Judging from the way Qiao Ruan spoke in the room just now, she didn't seem like a grateful person. It could only be said that she was acting!

He was getting impatient with her little tricks and was about to ask her if she was leaving or not when he heard Qiao Ruan speak again: "Auntie, can I have my father's compensation now?"

"Compensation?" Uncle Qiao and his wife's expressions changed, and they forced a dry laugh, "What compensation?"

Qiao Ruan looked at them with bright and innocent eyes: "The funeral expenses can be considered as the cost of my father's funeral by my uncle, but the compensation is the living expenses that my father left me. I can't go to the Fu family empty-handed and eat and drink for free. That would be unethical."

Qiao Meng frowned and scolded, "Qiao Ruan, don't forget who raised you for so many years. You've spent a lot of money on your food, drink, and everything else in our house. It's already a favor that my parents haven't asked you for money!"

Qiao Ruan tilted her head, puzzled: "But my dad sends my uncle all of his monthly allowance and bonus of seventy or eighty yuan. Isn't that enough for me to eat and drink?"

Seventy or eighty! ! !

The people of Qiaojia Village were astonished. Seventy or eighty yuan was more than enough to support a whole family, let alone a young girl!

The Qiao family members looked even uglier. They never expected Qiao Ruan to mention allowances and pensions in front of so many people. The pension was a full five hundred yuan! They had originally intended to pocket it.

While they were still thinking of an explanation, Qiao Ruan suddenly said aggrievedly, "Okay, I don't want it anymore, so that everyone won't say I'm an ungrateful wretch. I'll just consider this five hundred yuan as repayment for my uncle and aunt's kindness in raising me."

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, but her wide sleeves slipped down, revealing chilblains on her fingers and her thin, withered arms.
