Fake Daughter Is Rich Again? novel Chapter 209

She reluctantly gave the cab driver the fare and headed home as he sized her up.

"Dad, Mom, Grandma, I'm home." Not in good spirits, Qiao Chen changed out of her shoes and walked in tiredly.

The atmosphere at home had been heavy these days.

"1 heard that Zhao Jingwei is about to be sentenced."

Qiao Chen saw her parents' usual disappointed expressions the moment she entered, and that made her feel even worse.

Qiao Nian was such a jinx!

If only she'd just gone to Luohe County, but no, she'd chosen to stay in Rao City. Ever since she left their family, they seemed to have been cursed by her. Every day was terrible.

Shen Qiongzhi quickly got up when she saw that Qiao Chen was home. She got the housemaid to help her carry her stuff while forcing a smile. "Chen Chen, you're back. Was it tiring in school today? You're back only now, were you out having dinner with Fu Ge?"

Qiao Chen stammered while avoiding her eyes."... I'm not tired... Mm, we had dinner."

"So, Fu Ge sent you back?" Shen Qiongzhi's smile finally turned genuine. She felt relieved deep down. No matter the family situation, as long as Qiao Chen was still with Fu Ge, she wouldn't have to worry about her daughter's future.

Qiao Chen felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart, and by her own mother at that. She bit her lip and tried to save herself from embarrassment. "...Mm."

Anyone who listened closely would be able to tell that her response was unconvincing. Even her eyes were shifting.

But Shen Qiongzhi had been depending on this one matter for security for the past whole month and did not sense anything different about Qiao Chen's mood.
