The Rebirth of a Rich Family: The Return of the Daughter

Chapter 3: A Thrilling Scene

Fang Qiao quickly found that cassette tape. There was no time to do anything else. Taking it away directly would definitely arouse Fang Qishan's suspicion. She had to take out the contents of the tape and scrape off some of the magnetic powder on it. In this way, the tape was damaged and the contents could not be heard clearly.

She quickly dealt with the tape and carefully put it back in its original position.

Fang Qiao turned to look for a file folder.

In the large study, the tall bookshelf was filled with various books and files. For Fang Qiao, who was not tall, it was really not easy to find a file folder. Even though her memory was several times better than in her previous life, it was still difficult to find the needed item among so many things.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she saw a file folder. Based on her memory, she knew this was the one she was looking for!

Fang Qiao hurriedly ran over and tiptoed high to reach for the file folder.

She was too short and struggled to touch the bag. Just as she pulled it out halfway, the door rang. She was startled and immediately withdrew her hand!

There was no time to push the file folder back to its original place. She turned and hid under the desk.

The footsteps sounded from far to near. Fang Qishan's familiar shiny leather shoe tips and straight trouser legs appeared in Fang Qiao's sight.

She was so scared that she held her breath. Although if Fang Qishan discovered her, she had many reasons to explain why she was here and Fang Qishan wouldn't suspect her, who was only 12 years old. But she didn't want to take this risk!

She didn't want Fang Qishan to notice any clue.

Fang Qishan wondered with an "Eh" sound, seeming to have noticed something wrong with the file folder.

Fang Qiao's heart rose to her throat. Looking at the electronic watch on her hand, there was only a little over an hour until her mother's funeral. She must find a way to get that file folder!

Fang Qishan bent down to check the movement under the desk. Fang Qiao became nervous all of a sudden. Under the desk was so small that there was no room to turn around, let alone hide.

She didn't want Fang Qishan to know that she had anything to do with the tape or the file folder.

If there was enough time, she could have thought of a better way and dealt with this tape and file folder more astutely.

But now there really wasn't much time, which was why she took the risk of entering the study directly!

Fang Qishan bent down. Even though Fang Qiao shrank her body very small, she was about to be seen by him!

Fang Qiao put on a wronged yet strong smiling face, and a "Dad" was brewing at the tip of her mouth. If she was really caught by him, she could only pretend to be ignorant first!

Just at this moment, a lazy meow came from the windowsill, "Meow".

Fang Qishan was attracted by this sound and straightened up. Somewhat annoyed, he scolded, "Stinky cat, causing trouble again!"

He thought it was the cat's doing. Fang Qiao's heart thumped and relaxed.

Immediately, Fang Qiao saw Fang Qishan put the cassette tape she had tampered with into his pocket.

The file folder was too big. Fang Qishan held it in his hand, turned and handed it to the assistant beside him, solemnly saying, "Hold it well. You can't afford to lose it!"

All of this was seen by Fang Qiao.

When the door of the study was closed and everything returned to calm, Fang Qiao only then realized that she was sweating all over.

She pricked up her ears to listen to the movement outside the door, then carefully and quietly opened the door and walked out.

"Hey! Caught you!"

This shout was like a thunderbolt, making Fang Qiao's heart tremble.

She came to her senses, closed the door of the study, and looked at He Yunwei somewhat pleasantly, "He Yunwei!"

He Yunwei took a step back when looked at by her strange eyes. He looked her up and down, "I scared you once. Instead of thinking of revenge, you look at me so enthusiastically?"

How could 14-year-old He Yunwei know the mixed feelings in Fang Qiao's heart when she saw him?

In the previous life, it was today. Fang Qishan caused a big incident at her mother Qiao Jin's funeral. 14-year-old He Yunwei was also involved in the accident and died under the wheels at a young age.

Looking at this childhood playmate standing right in front of her well, how could Fang Qiao not be pleasantly surprised? How could she blame his childish game?

He Yunwei circled around Fang Qiao, "Something abnormal must be strange! Fang Qiao, confess honestly what you were doing sneakily just now?"

Fang Qiao punched him in the chest and said like him, "If I don't teach you a lesson, you really think I'm a Hello Kitty?""Hey, the girl has improved!" He Yunwei touched his chest and cried out in pain.In fact, Fang Qiao didn't have much strength. The punch didn't hurt him at all. Instead, it was so soft that he felt somewhat comfortable.

The two grew up fighting and playing. This was the way Fang Qiao and He Yunwei got along at this age.Just as they were talking, Fang Qishan's voice rang above their heads, "Where did Qiaoqiao go just now? Dad is waiting for you to get in the car. Yunwei is here too?""Hello, Uncle Fang. I and Qiaoqiao..." He Yunwei was quick-tongued and directly took over the conversation.Fang Qiao was startled. He Yunwei saw her coming out of the study. Afraid that he would talk nonsense, she glared at him.

He Yunwei received her look but pretended not to see it and said sensibly, "I was afraid that Qiaoqiao was in a bad mood, so I came to see her early. Uncle, please accept my condolences too.""Good. Then you come in the car with Uncle and Qiaoqiao." Fang Qishan said.

Fang Qiao heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that He Yunwei was with her. Today, no matter what, she had to protect these few most important relatives and friends around her.Fang Qishan was busy with something to do and turned and strode away.

Fang Qiao looked at this figure that gave her nightmares constantly, and a glint of coldness flashed in her eyes.Suddenly, her hand felt warm and was held by He Yunwei. He glanced at her sideways, thinking that she was sad about Qiao Jin's matter, and said, "I know you're in a bad mood. I caught crickets for you to play with."14-year-old He Yunwei was in a period of rapid height growth. His 1.7-meter figure already had the appearance of an adult.But he was a little too thin and still looked like a child. 

His fair and handsome face already had the embryonic form of a handsome guy.However, as soon as he spoke, it exposed the rough and unpleasant voice of a boy during his voice change period, which was so unpleasant that it made people want to laugh.But at this moment, Fang Qiao's heart was filled with indescribable emotions."Thank you, Second Brother." Fang Qiao's gratitude came from the bottom of her heart.

She was used to calling him "He Yunwei" all the time. Suddenly hearing such a "Second Brother", He Yunwei was really stunned for a moment and thought: This girl's voice is getting more and more pleasant.Holding her soft little hand, he involuntarily exerted some more strength.It didn't matter if the girl lost her mother. He could protect her too. He said silently to himself in his heart.

After getting in the car, Fang Qiao's attention was always on Fang Qishan.The cassette tape showed a shape in his clothes, but the tape was no longer her focus.The focus now was that file folder!
