Qiao Yuan's face turned deathly pale, her pupils constricted; she was genuinely terrified that Qiao He would strike...

"It really is a trash can, I really didn't lie to you, sister... I..." Qiao Yuan was almost in despair.

Qiao He stared at her suspiciously, the cold tip of the knife landing on Qiao Yuan's delicate face. "Are you telling the truth?"

Qiao Yuan closed her eyes tightly and cried out in despair, "Yes! It's the truth! Sister... Sister, please don't kill me, sob sob sob..."

Qiao Yuan trembled and cried. Seeing this, Qiao's mother panicked. She grabbed a chair from the side and shouted, "Qiao He! I'll fight you to the death!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao's mother was about to smash the chair hard on Qiao He's head.

Although Qiao He had her back to her mother at the moment, she could tell where her mother was by her voice.

As danger approached, Qiao He instinctively dodged to the side.

It's as if my body has developed an instinct!

The chair swung high down and landed squarely on Qiao Yuan's leg, which had just undergone surgery.

"Ah!!!" Qiao Yuan's flower-like face twisted in agony, her expression contorted in a grotesque grimace.

Only then did Qiao's mother realize that she hadn't hit Qiao He, but had instead hit her own precious daughter!

"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan! Mom didn't mean it, really didn't mean it..." Qiao's mother stood there helplessly, her heart breaking as she looked at Qiao Yuan's pained expression.

Qiao He frowned. She had pressed Qiao Yuan to this extent, yet Qiao Yuan still said the same thing. Perhaps what she said was true.

The commotion inside the ward disturbed the doctors and nurses outside, and someone started banging on the door frantically.

"What's wrong? What happened? Open the door!"

Qiao He recognized the voice as Qiao Yimu's.

At the same time, Qiao's father's anxious voice could be heard: "What happened?! Open the door! Yuanyuan? Yuanyuan? My precious daughter, what's wrong?"

However, Qiao Yuan couldn't say a word at this moment. She fainted from the pain, and her fair face was covered in cold sweat.

Qiao He sneered and went straight to open the door.

Then she met Qiao Yimu's gaze. Her handsome older brother, a surgeon, was staring at her with a tense expression.

"Qiao He? It's you! Did you do something to Yuan Yuan?" Qiao Yimu asked nervously, then pushed Qiao He aside and rushed inside.

Qiao He looked at the two people, one old and one young, both with pig-like faces and couldn't help but find it a little funny.

She patted the clothes that Qiao Yimu had just touched, and turned to leave.

But at that moment, Qiao's mother suddenly went berserk, pointing at Qiao He's back and saying scathingly, "You want to leave?! How dare you leave! Qiao He, she's your own sister!"

"How could you treat her like that? Are your cats more important, or human lives? In the end, they're just a few animals!"

"A beast dies, so what? Qiao He! How could I have a daughter like you?!"

As she spoke, Qiao's mother covered her face and wept, her cries so loud they shook the heavens and the earth.

Mr. Qiao's face remained gloomy outside the door. There were also doctors and nurses in the corridor, but they were also unsure of the situation and did not dare to go in.

After all, this is a melodramatic family drama airing at 8 PM...

Getting involved like this doesn't seem like a good idea.

Qiao He turned around and stared coldly at her mother, "You ask me who's more important? Of course, the cat is more important, Mrs. Qiao. I'm asking you! Ever since I can remember, have you ever cared about my life or death, my grades, or my relationships?"

"Do you know what I like to eat? And what I hate?!"

"Let me ask you again, when I was sick and almost died in the hospital, which one of you came to see me even once?!"

Qiao He's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chill that sent shivers down one's spine.

Qiao He scanned the Qiao family members present with a blank expression. "You have never cared about or loved me, and now you keep saying you don't have a daughter like me. Mrs. Qiao, I have never had a mother like you either!"

"You all ignored what I said last time, didn't you? Fine, I'll say it again! I, Qiao He, am no longer a member of your Qiao family!" Qiao He said with a cold laugh.

Qiao Yimu's face was terribly gloomy. While checking on Qiao Yuan's condition, he coldly said to Qiao He, "When you were sick, Qiao Yuan was heartbroken because she didn't do well on her exam."

"You were only in the ICU for a whole night, but Yuanyuan has forever lost her first chance to go to university!" Qiao Yimu's voice was as cold as ice.

Qiao He found it ridiculous and shook her head helplessly: "Whatever, I have nothing to do with you anymore anyway."

After saying that, Qiao He was about to leave; she was still busy!

Suddenly, Mr. Qiao roared in fury, "Stop right there!"

Qiao He continued walking forward as if she hadn't heard anything. Her aura was sharp, and her bright almond-shaped eyes were like a frozen deep sea, which frightened the doctors and nurses into making way for her.

Qiao's father tried to chase after Qiao He to stop him, but he had just been beaten into such a sorry state that he tripped and fell flat on his face after only a few steps.

Mr. Qiao: "..."

People couldn't stop them, and then they heard Qiao Yimu shout in a deep voice, "Doctors and nurses! Come quickly, my sister has fainted from the pain..."

Before long, chaos erupted in the ward.

When Qiao He left the hospital, a batch of goods she had ordered arrived, and she needed to go to the warehouse in the suburbs to load the goods into her spatial storage and take them with her.

The temperature outside was too high, and Qiao He didn't want Qiao Yin to suffer with her.

He then used the Blood Jade Space to move supplies directly, first putting them into the Blood Jade, and then going back to transfer the supplies into Qiao Yin's space.

Qiao He hailed a car and opened the door under the scorching sun. The driver was a very burly man with no expression on his face.

He glanced at Qiao He as he got on the bus, but didn't say anything.

Qiao He's eyes darkened slightly, and she gave the taxi driver an address.

The driver replied, "Okay."

Then they drove on, and at first everything was fine.

But halfway there, Qiao He suddenly realized something was wrong!

It's air!

Qiao He immediately held her breath.

The next moment, this ordinary taxi suddenly emitted a strange, misty gas from a hidden corner!

Qiao He's eyes turned cold, and she pretended to faint.

She collapsed onto the back seat, unconscious.

The taxi driver put on a gas mask, turned sternly, drove the car into a deserted alley, and then got out and sat in the back.

He held a rope in his hand, preparing to tie Qiao He's hands and feet.

The burly driver assumed that Qiao He had already passed out and was therefore not in any danger.

The moment he touched Qiao He's hand, he was startled to see the girl's clear, bright eyes staring straight at him.

The burly man's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized he was about to attack Qiao He.

But Qiao He was faster than him. She twisted the strong man's arm and then kicked the driver's lower body repeatedly.

The burly driver let out a scream that was both painful and pleasurable.

Qiao He continued to kick his crotch without any mercy!
