Reborn on Our Wedding Night, I Seduced the Tycoon of the Capital City Mad

In her past life, Qiao Xi was deceived by her wicked stepfather and stepmother, not only causing the death of her most beloved relative but also killing the man who loved her more than life itself!...

Chapter 24: Making a Scene

But now she knows clearly that the owner of this property certificate is the man He Huilan is keeping outside, and this house was also bought for him by He Huilan!

She already had all the evidence in her hands, and today she was here to surprise them.

Holding the property certificate, Qiao Xi walked out of the room. Knowing that Qiao Guangyuan was in the study, she deliberately raised her voice and said, "Dad, we bought another house?"

"dad?"

Upon hearing the commotion, Qiao Guangyuan immediately came out of his study. His anger had not yet subsided, and he asked impatiently, "What kind of house are you buying?"

"Isn't this the property ownership certificate?" Qiao Xi showed him the green booklet in her hand.

Qiao Guangyuan snatched the notebook from her hand. "Where did this property certificate come from?"

"It seems to be the Yu Shang Hua Mansion," Qiao Xi muttered softly. "The name on it is Zhu Bingcheng."

Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Xi heard a crash, which was probably the sound of a teacup shattering on the ground.

Looking towards the sound, He Huilan sat blankly on the sofa, the cup in her hand already shattered on the floor.

This reaction was within Qiao Xi's expectations. She deliberately didn't take it seriously and continued to say to Qiao Guangyuan, "It's not ours."

After looking through the property certificate, Qiao Guangyuan saw the name on it and muttered to himself, "This name sounds familiar."

He Huilan's heart was in her throat, almost jumping out of her chest, and her hands were trembling uncontrollably.

After calming herself down a bit, she got up and walked towards them.

Qiao Xi continued her discussion with Qiao Guangyuan, "The purchase time is January of this year."

"Where did you find it?" Qiao Guangyuan asked, frowning.

Qiao Xi casually replied, "It's in my room."

"However, I don't know why my room is full of Yuanyuan's things." Qiao Xi said, looking completely bewildered.

Qiao Yuan appeared out of nowhere and said, "That's my room!"

"Sis, how could you just walk into my room without saying anything?"

"Your room?" Qiao Xi's expression became even more confused.

Seeing this, He Huilan wanted to take this opportunity to change the subject and said to Qiao Xi with a kind smile, "Xiao Xi, I forgot to tell you, Yuan Yuan is now staying in your room."

If you listen carefully, you can hear that He Huilan's voice is trembling slightly.

Qiao Xi asked in surprise, "When did this happen?"

“Just a couple of days ago.” He Huilan said absentmindedly to Qiao Xi while looking at the property certificate in Qiao Guangyuan’s hand, “You’re married now, and you just said that you probably won’t be able to visit your parents’ home as often in the future. Yuanyuan happens to like your room, so after discussing it with your dad, we let Yuanyuan move in.”

Qiao Xi nodded without showing any anger, while He Huilan remained terrified, staring intently at the property certificate, praying that they could smoothly skip this topic.

Unfortunately, Qiao Xi knew exactly what she was thinking, so of course she couldn't grant her wish.

“Then this property certificate…” Qiao Xi looked meaningfully at Qiao Yuan and He Huilan.

Qiao Yuan quickly denied it, saying, "It's not mine."

She knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she immediately stood up to clarify things for herself, while inwardly cursing He Huilan, demanding that she put the property certificate in her room and make the man she gave it to buy a house!

Qiao Guangyuan narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Qiao Yuan, "Why is there someone else's property certificate in your room?"

"What is your relationship with this Zhu Bingcheng?"

"I don't know him," Qiao Yuan denied again.

Because she denied it so directly, and because she showed no ignorance about why the property certificate was in her room, it was clear that she knew.

"Don't you recognize him?" Qiao Guangyuan wasn't stupid; he questioned her repeatedly, "Then why is his property certificate with you?"

Qiao Yuan didn't care about anything else and desperately shook her head in denial, "I don't know, I didn't put it there."

Qiao Xi quietly watched the show from the sidelines, eagerly anticipating what surprises the mother and daughter would bring her next, and whether her scumbag father would still believe them at this critical juncture.

She won't rest until she's caused a huge disturbance today.

Seeing that they were at an impasse, Qiao Xi kindly offered Qiao Guangyuan a suggestion: "Dad, isn't it simple to find out? Just call the sales department of Yushang Huafu and ask them. Checking the information of the homebuyers will make it clear at a glance."

“What’s there to ask?” He Huilan jumped in to explain, “Perhaps someone accidentally left it with Yuanyuan.”

Who would believe such an explanation? Qiao Xi, both amused and exasperated, teased her, "Mom, a property certificate is no ordinary thing. You can't put anything on a property certificate."

"Besides... if it's not someone I know, they probably wouldn't have left here."

Upon hearing this, He Huilan immediately became agitated, "Qiao Xi, what do you mean by that?"

"Wait a minute." Qiao Guangyuan suddenly remembered something and interrupted them. He thought for a moment and said, "Zhu Bingcheng... isn't that the name of the teacher in the yoga class you always go to?"

These words were clearly directed at He Huilan.

He Huilan's heart skipped a beat, and she broke out in a cold sweat from nervousness. She said tremblingly, "Husband, you, you must be mistaken. My yoga teacher is, is a woman."

"Can't a woman be called Zhu Bingcheng?" Qiao Xi suddenly reminded her, "Or... Mom, do you know that Zhu Bingcheng is a man?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" He Huilan's eyes began to redden with guilt, which was also due to her excessive nervousness.

Seeing her reaction, Qiao Guangyuan couldn't be completely unmoved. He tried hard to recall information about this person, and finally, his memory was instantly unlocked. "I remember now, you mentioned him to me before. No wonder the name sounded familiar."

"Why is his property certificate with you?!"

In her haste, He Huilan blurted out, "That's not how it is, husband, listen to me."

"What do you mean?" Qiao Xi said bluntly, "If Teacher Zhu's property certificate accidentally ended up with Mom, it's not something to make a fuss about, is it?"

He Huilan thought Qiao Xi was helping her, so she immediately went along with her and said, "Yes, he must have accidentally left it here with me."

"You're lying!" Qiao Guangyuan had already vaguely sensed something, and with Qiao Xi's reminder, how could he not be suspicious?

Qiao Xi, ever the helpful one, offered another suggestion to Qiao Guangyuan: "Dad, you could have someone investigate who actually paid for this house, and then everything would be clear."

Turning around, Qiao Xi asked He Huilan with great anticipation, "By the way, Mom, haven't you been investing for the past two years? How have the returns been?"
