Qiao Xi couldn't help but find it funny. This mother and daughter were truly something else. They had clearly planned it together, but in the end, they made their daughter take the blame. And now, because she was being threatened, she was making a cameo appearance.

Bai Xuelin's barely suppressed anger finally erupted at this moment, "Young?"

"She's eighteen years old already, and you just sit around doing nothing all day, not even thinking about properly educating her!"

“She’s your daughter now too,” Han Qian said, sobbing.

"I can't teach her." Bai Xuelin waved his hands repeatedly and said, "You should take her with you and go back to where you came from."

Upon hearing this, Han Qian immediately became agitated, "Xue Lin, what do you mean by this?"

Bai Xuelin roared in a fit of rage, "I married you not so that you and your daughter could poison my family!"

"It wasn't me." Han Qian denied the fact in the same way as Bai Ruxue.

Bai Xuelin chuckled self-deprecatingly, then, utterly disappointed and furious, rebuked her: "You still dare to say it wasn't you?!"

"Which good deed your precious daughter has done so far wasn't taught to you by your own hands?!"

Han Qian looked aggrieved, but she didn't know how to refute him for a moment.

Bai Xuelin sighed heavily and said, "That's enough, there's nothing more to say. Xiaoxi, you handle it."

After saying that, he turned and left dejectedly.

Just as Qiao Xi was about to call out to him, Bai Zhanwang stopped her. He said to Qiao Xi earnestly, "Xiao Xi, your grandfather is getting old. You should make the decision for your uncle."

"Grandpa." Qiao Xi called out to him with some difficulty. Although she would emphasize her status as the future head of the Bai family in front of some people, she couldn't do it in front of her grandfather. He was still alive, and as long as he was alive, he would be the head of the Bai family.

Bai Zhanwang ultimately entrusted this important task to her. After exchanging a glance with Qi Jincheng, he went back to his room to rest.

Bai Jinghuan encouraged her, saying, "Xi girl, show the demeanor of the head of the family."

"I'm hardly the head of the family." Qiao Xi didn't like the title at all; in the end, it only fell to her because they didn't want it.

One of the older brothers is a high-tech talent who founded his own intelligent technology company.

The other is somewhat cynical, mingling in the entertainment industry and owning his own entertainment company.

In short, they all have their own businesses, so the Bai family's assets hold no appeal for them whatsoever.

At this critical juncture, Qiao Xi, not forgetting to show affection, linked arms with Qi Jincheng and said, "At home, I always listen to A-Jin."

Bai Jinghuan couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body again, and at the same time, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that just a few months ago she was still a young girl, and suddenly she became someone else's wife.

And they openly flaunted their affection in front of them, completely disregarding their feelings as single people.

"The head of the family, the head of the family," Bai Jinghuan muttered to himself, feigning thought. Suddenly, he looked at Qi Jincheng and asked, "Then, brother-in-law, shall we come?"

Qi Jincheng smiled slightly and took Qiao Xi's hand, apologetically saying to them, "Big brother, second brother, this is your family matter, you handle it. I'm taking Xi'er back."

He specifically emphasized the word 'family affairs,' referring to the family affairs of his uncle's small family, so it was not Qiao Xi's place to interfere.

The two brothers naturally understood what he meant, and Bai Jinghuan was the first to stand up and object, "How can that be?"

Regardless of whether it would work or not, Qiao Xi grabbed Qi Jincheng's hand and ran outside.

"Xi girl, brother-in-law!" Bai Jinghuan wanted to chase after them, but Bai Hongyi grabbed him and pulled him back. "Let them go back."

“Then they…” Bai Jinghuan looked at the mother and daughter with disgust.

Han Qian pulled Bai Ruxue to stand aside. Bai Ruxue was filled with resentment, but she dared not say anything in the face of the current situation. No matter what, she could not let the Bai family kick her out!

As long as she stays in the Bai family, regardless of whether she is related to the Bai family by blood, she will always be the eldest daughter of the Bai family. But once she leaves, she will be nothing!

Bai Hongyi patted his shoulder and said, "Let's talk about it after Dad calms down."

"They all wanted to harm Grandpa, how could they be allowed to live?" Bai Jinghuan wanted to kick them out right now, thinking that Xi Ya wouldn't keep them, but he didn't expect that she would be taken away directly.

Bai Hongyi smiled and comforted him, saying, "After all, he's an elder. Let Dad handle it."

Although Bai Jinghuan didn't want to see them at the villa for even a moment longer, they were indeed women his father had brought back, so he could only wait for his judgment. He suppressed his anger and said, "I have a social engagement tonight, so I'll be leaving now."

"Drive carefully," Bai Hongyi specifically told him.

The room was now empty except for Bai Hongyi and the mother and daughter. He slowly turned to look at them, pushed up his glasses, and said with a faint smile, "At least until Dad calms down, you two should behave yourselves a little."

"No one in the Bai family is easy to mess with. If you don't believe me, try it again, but you might not see the sun rise tomorrow." After saying that, the smile on his lips deepened, but it looked creepy.

...

Qi Jincheng came with a driver. After getting into the car, he immediately instructed the driver, "Go to the hospital."

"Why go to the hospital?" Qiao Xi asked, puzzled.

Qi Jincheng gently lifted Qiao Xi's injured hand and said softly, "Treat the wound."

Qiao Xi said nonchalantly, "It's just a minor injury."

"What if it's poisonous?" Qi Jincheng said with concern.

Qiao Xi looked at her wound, which was still a normal color, and tentatively asked, "Did your fingernail harbor poison?"

“Bacteria, all kinds.” Qi Jincheng said with a serious expression, “And maybe even rabies virus.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi carefully examined the back of her hand, where the wound was almost invisible, and solemnly agreed, "That makes sense. Dogs like this have a high chance of contracting diseases."

She said this to Qi Jincheng in a completely joking manner, but she didn't expect that Qi Jincheng would actually take her to the hospital!

Huake Hospital, a private hospital under the Dihua Group, is also one of the top hospitals in Beijing.

It seems a waste of resources for her to come here with such a minor injury that it's hardly a serious one.

Qi Jincheng led her straight to Qin Yang's clinic.

Qin Yang is Qi Jincheng's best friend and his personal physician, as well as the youngest expert in the cardiology department of Huazhong University of Science and Technology Hospital.

Qiao Xi felt really bad about having a cardiologist bandage her wound.

"Ah Jin, I think..." Qiao Xi was about to persuade him to go back when she bumped into Qin Yang at the door of the clinic.

"Old Qi?" Qin Yang asked with some surprise, "Are you not feeling well?"
