Chapter 212 As An Elder, You Should Set An Example
Eden had been listening quietly. When he saw his mother complaining, he couldn't help frowning.
Since he could remember, his mother had never behaved like this. Before he returned to the Qiao family, she had always forced he and his sister to work hard in study and strive for the attention of his father and grandfather.
And her change seemed to be shown gradually after she returned to the Qiao family. Her side was really annoying.
"Today, she was showing off in front of my father. She looked so arrogant that I couldn't help but want to slap her two times."
Lucia continued, "Dad has given ten percent of the shares to Tina today. I don't know how much heritage he will leave to Lily after she grows up..."
"Mom." Finally, Eden couldn't stand it anymore. He frowned and interrupted her, "Can you stop talking about this? It's his decision to give grandpa and aunt anything he wants. Besides, he is an elder and has the right to do so. As the younger generation, we can only listen to him."
"Eden!" Lucia turned to look at him and said, "How can you help others? Have you ever thought about how much you and Claire can get if they take too much from the Qiao family?"
Eden frowned more tightly. He didn't expect his mother to be so snobbish. "Mom, Lily is Dad's daughter, and also grandpa's granddaughter. Grandpa should be good to her no matter what."
Speaking of this, he recalled what had happened in the past. When Lily hadn't moved to the Qiao family's old house, she had suffered a lot here. If it weren't grandfather who couldn't bear, he would have picked her up. Now she would suffer more grievances.
"Do you really take me as your mother?" Lucia glared at Eden angrily, "You always help Lily and Tina. Who are you? You've been very unusual these days. You not only helped Lily secretly, but also blocked the wine for Tina today. Besides, it's me who proposed a toast to her. Have you ever thought how embarrassed I was by what you did today?"
Eden felt helpless and said, "Mom, you've gone too far today. You know that she's pregnant and can't drink, but you still make things difficult for her in front of so many people. I can only stand out and drink that glass of wine for her."
"You..."
"I'm going upstairs. Enjoy yourself." Dillon stood up and interrupted Lucia. Then he went upstairs and glanced at Lucia with a frown.
She had changed, completely different from the person in his heart before.
"Dillon, you..." Turning around and looking at the back of Dillon, Lucia was speechless and her face darkened.
Taking a deep breath, she turned to look at Eden and continued in a better tone than before, "Eden, I'm doing this for both of you. Although Lily is your half sister, she is still an outsider in my eyes. What I can do is to try my best to fight for the interests of you and Claire in the Qiao family."
Eden didn't say anything, but he felt very uncomfortable. He didn't like his mother to be in such a hurry for quick success and instant benefit.
On the contrary, Lily and Tina didn't fight for anything. Even when Tina left the Qiao family, she didn't take anything with her. What she got today was from her grandfather, which meant that she deserved it.
As for Lily, she did her best to work and study in the company. He didn't see her play any tricks, but was framed by others.
Seeing that he didn't say a word, Lucia sighed, "You're not a child anymore. You should also think about yourself. Look at Lily. She joined the company with you and brought the cooperation to the company and made a lot of benefits. But you haven't done anything yet."
"Eden, I'm not blaming you. You have to work harder. That bitch has surpassed you in study, and now she even surpasses you in work. Don't you feel aggrieved? A boy can't even compete with a girl. How can I not worry and be angry?"
Eden pressed his lips and didn't say anything. His face showed a little impatience. When she talked to him, he felt even more restless and depressed, making people feel breathless.
Especially the word "bitch" coming out of her mouth made him very unhappy. He hated Lucia to use these three words to describe Lily.
"Mom, I'm tired too. I'm going to bed." Then he stood up and went upstairs.
If he didn't leave, he would probably not be able to sleep tonight. His mother's nagging was really annoying.
"All I said is for your own good. Don't you want to hear it now?" Looking at his back as he went upstairs, Lucia said discontentedly.
Hearing this, Eden stopped and turned to look at her. There was a hint of helplessness in his tone. "Mom, if you really care about me, then don't worry too much. I haven't left anything behind in study and work. Don't compare me with Lily. If she is capable, I won't say anything even if Grandpa transferred the whole company to her name in the end."NôvelDrama.Org content.
"You..." Lucia's eyes widened. She didn't expect her son to say that.
"And..." Eden continued, "Mother, no matter what, Lily is a member of the Qiao family. Don't always use some bad words to insult her, which will only lower your identity. In my eyes, you are my mother, and in others' eyes, you are Mrs. Qiao. You have to set a good example in front of younger generation and outsiders. Don't let others see the mockery of the Qiao family."
After saying that, he paused and took a look at Lucia, "I have finished what I should say. Mom, if you have nothing else to say, you should go to bed early. You are also very tired today."
As soon as he finished speaking, Eden went upstairs and ignored Lucia.
For a moment, the living room was so quiet that even a needle fell to the ground could be heard.
Looking at the direction of the stairs, Lucia gritted her teeth secretly, and the expression in her eyes was also obscure. It was okay that Dillon didn't like to hear her nagging, and even her son was getting more and more disobedient.
He was getting more and more out of control. Recently, he had become more and more concerned about the mother and daughter. Nobody knew what had happened to him.
This was not a good sign. No, she couldn't let him go on like this, or many things would be out of her control.
No, he was out of her control now. It seemed that there was something that she couldn't wait any longer.
On the second day, Lily got up early, because she had promised Hailey yesterday to help her carry her luggage and move from Ellison's villa to the place where she and Eric lived.
After getting up, she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Maybe he was too tired yesterday, Eric was still sleeping, and she did not wake him up.
The fridge was still full of food. Considering that Eric and she were still in the stage of growing up, they needed more nutrition.
So, when she was making breakfast, Lily specially made more.
They cooked the wheat porridge, steamed an egg custard, and prepared sandwiches and a glass of milk for each of them. Of course, the amount of food for Eric must be more. After all, he was a boy.
She prepared breakfast and put them on the table one by one. When everything was ready, Eric hadn't got up yet. Lily looked at the time and found that it was already half past eight. So she planned to wake him up in person.
Otherwise, not only the breakfast was cold, but also the time would be delayed. After all, she had an appointment with Hailey.
When he went back to the bedroom, Eric was still sleeping on his side. Thinking of being held in his arms in the morning, Lily felt her face burning.
She sat on the edge of the bed. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, Lily didn't want to wake him up. He was so sleepy last night, but he still insisted on massaging the bump on her waist that was kicked out by Hailey.
Looking at him quietly, Lily couldn't help reaching out her hand to stroke the outline of Eric. Perhaps it was because he was not mature enough, he always looked a little childish when he was asleep.
How she wished time could pass faster. She couldn't wait to make Eric grow up as soon as possible. She wanted to see his mature appearance, he must be more handsome and eye-catching than now.
Her hand slid down along his eyebrows and eyes one point one, gently painting his delicate features.
His eyebrows, eyes, nose, and finally stopped at his lips. Eric's lips were very thin, but the shape of his lips was very beautiful. Every time she saw him pursing his lips, she couldn't help but want to see.
Her finger pulps had been fixed on his thin lips, and Lily was a little stunned. She suddenly bent down, slowly approached, and slowly moved her lips to the thin lips she longed for.
Finally, her lips touched Eric's. It was soft, warm and comfortable.
Before he woke up, she didn't move. The lips of the two people gently touched together, and even their breaths intertwined. This feeling was very good, very warm, and made her reluctant to stand up.
After a long time, Lily finally had the intention to move her lips away. But as soon as she moved, her neck was clasped, and then she was pressed under him.
"Girl, I really like the way you wake me up." Eric's black eyes were fixed on the person under him. As he just woke up, his voice was a little sleepy.
"You... You wake up." A touch of embarrassment flashed through Lily's eyes, and her face flushed a little. She didn't dare to look into Eric's eyes.
"Yes, I'm awake. The sleeping prince was awakened by the kiss of the beauty." Eric curled his lips and pulled her hair aside gently.
