Late at night, the atmosphere in Qiao's living room was a bit low.
"Why this thing happened?" Dillon looked angrily and asked Lucia who was sobbing in Claire's arms.
Today's incident was rumored by the media. And almost all the people in the upper class knew that the little daughter of the Qiao family and the eldest son of the Gu family slept in the same bed.
"I I don't know what happened. " Claire sobbed and dared not look up at Dillon.
PA!
Dillon slapped on the tea table, making the cups clang. "You don't know what's going on? So why you can sleep in the same bed with Frank?"
"I I really don't know Oh oh..." Claire was frightened and hide in Lucia's arms.
"All right, Dillon. Don't be angry." Lucia comforted her daughter in her arms while persuading Dillon, "There must be a reason for this. How could Claire do such a thing when she was so young?"
"Are you still protecting her?" Dillon glared at Lucia, pointed at Claire and trembled, "It's your fault. Qiao's face was completely lost by her. There was such a scandal. How do people outside think of us?"
Lucia was also angry, "Face, face, you only know the face of Qiao family, have you ever thought about Claire? As a girl, who would like to meet such a thing?"
"Do you blame me? Didn't you teach her all? Look at yourself. What have you taught her?"
"How dare you blame me? Where were you when I gave birth to Eden? Where were you when I gave birth to Claire? Now you blame me for because the thing happened? Why don't you ask yourself, are you cared about these two children over the years? What did you teach them? What have you done for them?"
The two of them quarreled with each other, which scared the servants at home and they dare not to show up.
Beside them, Lily looked at them in fear, while Eden frowned and didn't want to persuade them.
"I compensate you now." Dillon's momentum obviously weakened, "But now such a thing happened, the Qiao family really can't raise heads outside."
"Dad, aunt Lucia..." Lily said timidly, "Don't quarrel, we are mainly trying to solve the problem."
"It's easy for you to say that. Now that things have become like this, how can we solve it?" Lucia turned to look at Lily with anger.
"Aunt..." Lily shrank his neck, as if she was frightened by Lucia's tone, "I I just want you and dad to calm down and think about countermeasures. I don't mean anything else."
"Keep your voice down. Don't scare the child." Dillon glared at Lucia unhappily.
"Scare her? Why did I scare her?" Lucia was not happy, "Dillon, I can see that in this family, Lily is your child, and Eden and Claire aren't!"
"What are you talking about? Why aren't they my children?"
"I just said one word and you protected her. What do you mean?"
"I..."
Just as the second round of quarrel between the two was about to start, the phone at home rang, and Dillon had to answer the phone.
Seeing that he went to answer the phone, Lucia glared at Lily unhappily.
Lily didn't care. Her eyes followed Dillon. He was talking on the phone with a serious face. Although she couldn't hear what he was talking about, it could be seen that he was not willing to.
After a while, he hung up the phone and came back. He looked at Lucia and said, "Simon is calling."
"What did he say?" There was some expectation on Lucia's face. Even Claire, who had been crying, stopped and looked up at him.
"He meant that the two families were married and admitted that the two children were dating." Dillon frowned.
Hearing this, Lucia's eyes lit up, but she didn't show it too obvious. She looked at Claire with a little embarrassment, but said it to Dillon.
"Claire is still so young. I'm afraid it's not good to let her marry the eldest son of the Gu family."
"If you don't do that, how to stop those rumors?" Dillon asked in reply, "the Gu family has held a press conference and announced the marriage. In two years, Claire will be engaged to Frank."
Lucia pursed her lips and didn't speak, but the smile betrayed her.
However, Claire was surprised and looked at Dillon at a loss. "So soon?"
"You did it yourself, and you have to bear the consequences." Dillon looked at her unhappily.
Lily was no surprised to this result. When she faced these rumors in her previous life, the solution given by the Gu family was the same, wasn't it? In this life, she just changed the target to Claire.
