After waiting a moment, Qiao Guangyuan couldn't help but ask Qiao Xi for it, "Daughter, the check..."

Qiao Xi ignored him and walked to He Huilan's side, looking at her with a slight smile and said, "Answer me one question, and this five million is yours."

"Are you telling the truth?" He Huilan asked immediately, her eyes lighting up at the prospect of money.

Qiao Xi gave her an affirmative answer, "Of course."

She had just promised to give Qiao Guangyuan this five million, and Qiao Guangyuan couldn't help but ask, "Daughter, isn't this what you promised to give me?"

Qiao Xi, too lazy to explain, said, "Yes, but I've changed my mind. I'll give it to... Aunt He instead."

"This won't do!" Qiao Guangyuan shouted urgently.

Suddenly, he realized what was going on and said, "Fine, you were just trying to lie to me!"

“Honey, I knew that little bitch was up to no good,” He Huilan chimed in.

Unfortunately, she was slapped as soon as she finished speaking, and with a "smack!", He Huilan fell silent.

The slap was not only sudden, but also very forceful; the burning pain only slowly crept onto my cheek after the slap.

"You..." He Huilan was tied up and unable to use her hands, so she could only verbally insult her. Unfortunately, she only managed to utter one word before she was slapped mercilessly, "Slap!"

It took Qiao Guangyuan a while to react, "You unfilial son, what are you doing?!"

Qiao Yuan saw the ruthlessness in Qiao Xi's eyes and immediately cried out in panic, "Dad, she's gone mad! Call the police!"

Qiao Xi wasn't planning to punish her yet because she didn't say anything, but when she shouted, Qiao Xi noticed her.

Instead of saying anything to her as before, Qiao Xi directly pressed her head into the soup bowl, and Qiao Yuan immediately screamed, "Ah!"

As a result, he choked on the soup in the bowl and started coughing loudly.

Qiao Guangyuan stared blankly without saying a word. Qiao Xi wiped her hands clean in front of him, then sat down in his dining chair, looking directly at Qiao Guangyuan with a threatening gaze and asking, "How did my mother die?"

This question startled everyone in the room, except for Jun Jiuge.

Qiao Guangyuan stared at Qiao Xi with wide eyes, his breathing becoming rapid. When he saw the questioning look in Qiao Xi's eyes, he hurriedly looked away.

After pausing for a moment, he said with a grin, "Daughter, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Qiao Xi had anticipated his attitude, so she simply gave up on him and instead asked He Huilan, who was tied up, "Do you know?"

He Huilan's expression was equally tense; her disguise skills were not as good as Qiao Guangyuan's.

Qiao Xi stuffed a five million check from her pocket into her hand and said, "Tell me, and I'll add another five million."

He Huilan unconsciously clenched her fist and grabbed the five million check.

Qiao Guangyuan became furious when he saw this, "Daughter, stop making a scene. Don't you know very well what happened to your mother?"

"Although you were still young at that time, you were already sensible."

hehe……

Qiao Xi sneered inwardly. If she were truly sensible, wouldn't she know it was him who did it?!

"I don't want to repeat myself a third time. Whoever says the money belongs to them." Qiao Xi held up another check for five million.

Although He Huilan held the check in her hand, she dared not speak. Qiao Guangyuan also knew that she dared not speak, because if she did, it would be tantamount to handing herself over.

But there is a third person here, and that is Qiao Yuan.

She happened to know some of it, not all of it, but that was enough for her to be honest with Qiao Xi: "I know!"

Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Guangyuan angrily rebuked her, "What do you know?!"

Qiao Yuan had no feelings for Qiao Guangyuan to begin with. The only reason she called him "Dad" was because he gave her money. Otherwise, why would she call him "Dad"?

Now, in order to get that ten million, she's willing to sell her cheap father, Qiao Guangyuan.

"Mom told me everything," Qiao Yuan said righteously.

Upon hearing this, He Huilan's heart skipped a beat, and Qiao Guangyuan's extremely fierce gaze also turned to her.

She couldn't remember when she had told Qiao Yuan that!

Before anyone could stop her, Qiao Yuan blurted out, "Your mother's death was arranged by Dad, so that he could get rid of her as soon as possible and marry my mother."

"You're talking nonsense!" Qiao Guangyuan immediately cursed at her.

He Huilan immediately stopped her, "Yuanyuan, don't talk nonsense!"

Qiao Yuan retorted, unconvinced, "Mom, didn't you tell me that?"

"To prove that he loves you, and because he didn't want you to keep waiting, Dad..."

Qiao Guangyuan, enraged, retorted, "You brat, you're talking complete nonsense!"

"Really?" Qiao Xi smiled, then looked coldly at Qiao Guangyuan, seeking confirmation from him, "Dad, is what she said true?"

Qiao Guangyuan vehemently denied it, saying, "Daughter, don't believe her."

"I have only ever loved your mother in this life. I married this woman purely to fill the void left by your mother's passing."

"Qiao Guangyuan!" He Huilan shouted, unable to bear it any longer.

"Shut up!" Qiao Guangyuan roared, taking control of the situation. "I should have discovered your true colors long ago. You're both insatiable, mother and daughter, two dogs who can never be fed!"

Hearing such insults, He Huilan could hardly believe her ears. She retorted loudly, "Qiao Guangyuan, you begged me to marry you!"

"You said you didn't want to live this dependent life anymore, you wanted to break free from that woman's control, and you wanted to take control!"

"Stop spreading rumors and misleading the public!" Qiao Guangyuan retorted again.

He Huilan was so angry that she didn't care about anything else. She looked at Qiao Xi with a sincere expression and said, "What I said is true!"

“Now that things have come to this, there’s nothing left to hide.” He Huilan pressed on, asking Qiao Xi, “Qiao Xi, if I tell you the truth, will you give me the other five million?”

Seeing the infighting among them, Qiao Xi treated it like a monkey show. All she wanted was the truth, and now, the truth was right before her eyes.

She'll soon get the truth she wants from their dogfight!

Qiao Xi gave He Huilan an affirmative answer, "As long as what you said is true."

"I swear, everything I said is true." If He Huilan hadn't been tied up, she would have wanted to raise her hand and swear to the heavens.

For money, and to wash away this humiliation, He Huilan went all out. Since Qiao Guangyuan was trying to pin the blame on her, she couldn't be blamed for it!

“It was all that bastard’s idea.” He Huilan glared at Qiao Guangyuan and said, “He caused that car accident and killed your mother. He planned it all.”
