Chapter 2664: Twins  

The two of them had heard from Old Master Qiao that he was the one who took the initiative to leave some things behind for Qiao Jierou’s child.

Of course, the two of them had no objections to this matter. Not to mention that the child was innocent, but since the assets belonged to Old Master Qiao, he had the right to distribute them however he wished.

However, Old Master Qiao’s corpse had yet to turn cold, and they were casually discussing this matter downstairs. It was disappointing.

Qiao Dongliang walked over and slammed the door shut, shutting out the noise downstairs.

“Dongliang, don’t let them affect your mood.”

Downstairs, everyone was pretending to be sad, but Qiao Jierou could not even squeeze out tears.

Old Madam Qiao also looked very tired. “Alright, let the child have their share. It’s not a big deal. Let’s just split it like this.”

“Thank you, Grandma,” Qiao Jierou said docilely. “I thank you on behalf of your great-grandson.”

“Yes, take good care of the child.”

Madam Lin was previously dissatisfied with Qiao Jierou. This time, she was satisfied with the extra sum of money. “After all, Jierou is our family’s lucky star. If this child is born well, he’ll be the little master that the entire family dotes on in the future. The doctor said that it’s a boy, right?”

“Yes. The doctor said so himself during the previous examination.”

“That’s good! That’s good! Lin Heng, what’s wrong with you? Why are you so distracted?” Madam Lin scolded.

Lin Heng, who had been silent all this while, came back to his senses. “Have you discussed it?”

“Jierou is about to give birth. You have to pay more attention to the child and the family in the future, do you understand?” Madam Lin said.

“Got it.” Lin Heng glanced at Qiao Jierou, but his eyes were empty.

Qiao Dongliang’s matter had worsened his bad impression of Qiao Jierou. The two of them had even quarreled over it. Qiao Jierou kept defending herself, saying that she did not know what that school was like back then.

Did she really not know?

Lin Heng did not dare to ask himself or probe for an answer.

“Collect the check.” Huang Shumin picked it up and handed it to Qiao Jierou.

Qiao Jierou looked at the huge number on it and felt comforted.

Fortunately, she finally got it.

What she was most afraid of was not being able to get this sum of money. If she did not get it, she did not know how she would live in the future… “I’ll save this money for the child first,” Qiao Jierou said.

Although Madam Lin also wanted it, Qiao Jierou was right. She had no excuse to ask Qiao Jierou for the money.

However, as long as the money was kept within the Lin family, everything was fine.

After Qiao Weiyang and Qiao Dongliang busied themselves upstairs, they came downstairs.

Seeing that the siblings were here, everyone shut up about the inheritance.

“Qiao Weiyang!” Old Madam Qiao was the first to stop her.

Qiao Weiyang stopped in her tracks.

She said coldly, “It’s fine if you come for Grandpa’s funeral, but don’t let that disabled husband of yours come. I don’t want another jinx present.”

“Grandma, that’s my brother-in-law. How can we stop him from coming?!” Qiao Dongliang said angrily.

“Forget it, Dongliang.” Qiao Weiyang pulled him back.

She had not told him about Su Zhuoqian, so it was no wonder that he was angry.

However, in the past two days, Qiao Weiyang had not been in the mood to talk. Old Madam Qiao said, “I’m in charge of this family now!”

Mr. and Mrs. Lin found it a little funny. Qiao Weiyang was a famous person now and earned a lot of money, but she had married a disabled man. Hehe, how funny!

Qiao Jierou could not help but feel a little happy.

Only Lin Heng looked at Qiao Weiyang with a complicated gaze.

“Dongliang, let’s go.”

Qiao Weiyang left with him.

Old Master Qiao’s mourning hall was set up in the front courtyard of the Qiao family’s house.

Qiao Weiyang and Qiao Dongliang had been busy preparing.

Qiao Jierou came over with her stomach and took a look. She said, “Dongliang, I really want to help personally, but it’s not convenient for me because of my stomach. I have no choice but to trouble you.”

Qiao Dongliang no longer had the same attitude toward her as before. He could not even be bothered with her.

Qiao Jierou didn’t care too much. She turned around and left to receive guests.

Although the Qiao family was in dire straits now, they were still a big family with a lot of friends. Ever since Old Master Qiao’s accident, people had been coming to visit and comfort Old Madam Qiao.

Guests came in one after another. Qiao Jierou was naturally more willing to receive guests than to work hard behind the scenes.

She had always been more willing to put on an act.

“Dongliang, go and rest.” After being busy for two days, Qiao Weiyang saw that Qiao Dongliang was really tired.

Actually, there were many things that could be left to others, but he did them himself.

He had not rested well at night, and Qiao Weiyang’s heart ached. Coincidentally, Liang Xingyang also came over to pay his respects. Qiao Weiyang said to him, “Can you help me with something?”

“Go ahead.”

“Take him to rest. If he hasn’t rested enough, don’t let him come back.”

“Okay.” After Liang Xingyang paid his respects, he hooked his arm around Qiao Dongliang’s neck and they walked out together.

After that, Qiao Dongliang did not come back.

At night, the guests were arranged to rest in the front hall.

Only Qiao Weiyang and the two servants were still guarding the mourning hall.

Unknowingly, the two servants had also left.

Qiao Weiyang knelt on the ground and heard footsteps behind her.

“Dongliang? You’re back?” Qiao Weiyang asked.

“It’s me, Lin Heng.”

Qiao Weiyang subconsciously stood up.

Lin Heng had already approached. Seeing that she was so vigilant, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly. “Do you distrust me so much?”

“You have nothing to do here. You can leave.”

“He’s also my grandfather. It’s only right for me to pay my respects and mourn.”

Lin Heng was not deterred because of Qiao Weiyang’s words. Instead, he walked to the front, picked up an incense stick, lit it, and paid his respects to Old Master Qiao.

Qiao Weiyang couldn’t say anything else and could only look at him.

After paying his respects, he turned to look at Qiao Weiyang.

Qiao Weiyang had deliberately made her busy for the past two days. Su Zhuoqian had arranged for people to help with many things, but she would rather do them herself.

If she did these things herself, she would not be so uncomfortable. She would not have to think about it.

After being busy for a few days, she looked a little haggard, but it did not diminish her beauty. It made her face look a little fragile.

Lin Heng looked at her quietly. It had been so long since he last saw her. It was as if he could only discover her beauty now.

Only when one really knew someone could one know how beautiful they were.

He had met her, but he had missed her.

“Where did you go in the first half a year?” Lin Heng asked curiously.

“Work. ”

Lin Heng nodded, but he didn’t believe her. There were a lot of rumors outside, but none of them said that her absence was because of work.

He couldn’t figure it out and found her even more charming.. He asked in a low voice, “Is your husband… okay?”
