I'm Secretly Married to a Big Shot

Chapter 2123: Did She Know Something?

What did Qiao Chen mean?

Was he saying this on purpose because he was shocked by her revelation?

That must be it.

That was why he said that.

She didn’t have to care about what this sick person said.

But Qiao Chen’s words had already affected her.

Hence, when Lin Huizhen came out of the kitchen and asked her what she was doing, Qiao Anxin asked, “Mom, have you done anything to let Dad down?”

Lin Huizhen’s hand trembled.

“Y-You girl, what are you saying? What triggered you to ask such a strange question?”

Qiao Anxin stared at her. “Just answer my question. Have you done anything to let Dad down?”

Qiao Anxin couldn’t help but notice her mother’s reaction.

She saw guilt and panic in Lin Huizhen’s eyes.

This wasn’t a normal reaction.

It was as if… her secret had been discovered.

Qiao Anxin’s expression darkened as she thought about what Qiao Chen said and how Lin Huizhen avoided her gaze.

She clenched her fists and asked, “Did you really do something wrong to Dad?”

“What nonsense are you talking about!” Lin Huizhen flew into a rage. “What’s wrong with you? I’ve already told you not to let your imagination run wild. Alright, I’m still busy, I don’t have time to talk to you about this.

“If you have nothing to do, help me bring the dishes out.”

With that, Lin Huizhen returned to the kitchen.

Her expression changed the moment she turned around.

Panic and confusion appeared in her eyes.

She had done it very discreetly.

She hadn’t told anyone about it.

But why did Qiao Anxin ask that?

Did she know something?

No, that was impossible.

Lin Huizhen bit her lip and immediately dismissed this thought.

She hadn’t revealed anything to Qiao Anxin, how could she know?

But if she didn’t know… why did she suddenly ask?

Qiao Anxin looked even worse as Lin Huizhen walked into the kitchen.

She hadn’t taken Qiao Chen’s words seriously.

But Lin Huizhen’s reaction made her suspicious.

Did that sick person really know something?

…

After a while, it was time for dinner.

At the dining table.

Father Qiao blew out the candles and cut the birthday cake. Everyone at the table clinked glasses and said “Happy birthday!” to him.

Father Qiao looked at the people around him. His wife, his son, his daughter, and his son-in-law.

He was happy at this moment.

Nothing made him happier than a harmonious family.

Hence, when Qiao Mianmian toasted him, he raised his glass and looked at Qiao Anxin. Then, he looked back to Qiao Mianmian and said in a comforting tone, “Mianmian, Dad is very happy that you and Yesi came back to celebrate my birthday.

“You know, to me, seeing our family happy is the best gift.

“Dad knows that there are still some conflicts between you and Anxin that haven’t been resolved. Dad knows that you’ve always been a magnanimous person. Anxin did do some bad things, but she got the punishment she deserved.

“So, can you give Dad some face and not argue with her?

“From now on, our family will be fine. I’ll discipline Anxin and won’t let her do anything bad.”
