Chapter 2053: His Feelings for Qiao Chen Weren’t as Deep as His Feelings for Qiao Mianmian

“I heard you and Anxin fighting over something.” Father Qiao frowned. “Where’s Anxin?”

“She said she had to go out.”

Lin Huizhen held Father Qiao’s hand and hesitated for a while before saying softly, “Husband, it’s your birthday in a few days. What do you want to do about it?”

“It’s meaningless to celebrate birthdays every year. Moreover, we’re already so old, what’s there to celebrate?” Father Qiao said calmly.

“How can that do?” Lin Huizhen said. “It’s precisely because you’re old that you have to celebrate your birthday. Not only do you have to celebrate it, but you also have to celebrate it grandly. How can you not celebrate your birthday every year?

“Husband, that’s what I plan to do. I’ll cook something good for you. We’ll have a good meal together. And I think we should call Mianmian back, too. I haven’t seen her in a long time. You must miss her, too.

“No matter what, she should come back for your birthday.”

Father Qiao was stunned when he heard her mention Qiao Mianmian.

Lin Huizhen had been by his side for many years, so she knew what he was thinking.

If he didn’t say anything, it meant that he didn’t object.

Lin Huizhen smiled and said, “Father and daughter don’t have overnight grudges. Mianmian has always been a filial child. As long as you’re willing to ask her to come back, she definitely won’t reject you. Husband, if you don’t feel comfortable asking, I can talk to Mianmian.”

Father Qiao kept quiet for a while before saying, “I don’t want to bother about these trivial matters. You can do as you deem fit.”

“Alright. Leave everything to me.” Lin Huizhen thought for a while and asked, “Then, should we get Chen Chen to come back as well? Speaking of which, I haven’t seen him in a long time. Although Chen Chen isn’t our biological child, we’ve raised him for so many years and have feelings for him. I think we should also ask him to come.”

Father Qiao frowned and kept quiet for a while.

His feelings for Qiao Chen weren’t as deep as his feelings for Qiao Mianmian.

He liked Qiao Chen less than he liked Qiao Mianmian.

He brought Qiao Chen back from the orphanage because he needed a son.

Father Qiao had a very traditional mindset. He believed that the Qiao family business would be pa.s.sed down to his son in the future.

No matter how good his daughter was, her future child was still an outsider.

Hence, he just wanted to groom a successor.

Moreover, Qiao Chen grew sick too. Father Qiao felt that his hopes of grooming a successor had been dashed, and his feelings for Qiao Chen faded.

So much so that Qiao Chen hadn’t returned to the Qiao family for almost a year. He hadn’t called Qiao Chen to come back.

Father Qiao didn’t have deep feelings for Qiao Chen, but he had raised him for more than 10 years, so he didn’t object to Lin Huizhen’s suggestion.

“Mm, it’s up to you.” He said, “Let’s just have a simple meal as a family. There’s no need to prepare anything else.”

Lin Huizhen smiled. “Alright. Don’t worry, I’ll arrange everything.”

Father Qiao nodded and said, “I’m sleepy, I’m going to sleep.”

Father Qiao stopped after taking two steps.

He thought for a while and turned to look at Lin Huizhen. “Just call Chen Chen. I’ll call Mianmian.”

Lin Huizhen smiled and nodded. “Got it.”

It was best that Father Qiao called Qiao Mianmian.

In that case, Qiao Mianmian would definitely come back.

Lin Huizhen knew her very well.

As long as Qiao Mianmian was willing to celebrate Father Qiao’s birthday, things would definitely be easier.

Qiao Mianmian was no longer the poor girl she used to be. She was now the daughter of the Bai family. As long as she agreed to help, the Qiao family’s future wouldn’t be too difficult.
