"I told you to get out, didn't you understand?" Qiao Xi repeated coldly.

Qiao Yuan stared blankly at Qiao Xi, completely unaware of what was going on. Was it because she had failed to elope with Lu Mingxuan last night, and now she was taking her anger out on her?

Although she knew the chances were slim, she immediately pretended to be pitiful and came to Qiao Xi's side, half-squatting down to grab her hand, crying with a look of self-reproach, "Sister, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I'm useless."

“I don’t know why my brother-in-law suddenly came back. It’s all my fault.”

If Qiao Xi had seen her like this in her past life, she would have comforted her immediately. But now, Qiao Xi only felt disgusted. How blind was she in her past life? She was such a green tea bitch, how could she not have noticed?

Seeing this, Aunt Liu wisely withdrew first.

Qiao Yuan had been waiting for Qiao Xi to turn around and persuade her to help her up, but there was no movement at all.

"Sister, believe me, I will definitely help you escape." Qiao Yuan gripped her hand even tighter. Her eyes seemed sincere at first glance, but anyone who looked closely could see how hypocritical they were.

Qiao Xi decisively shook off her hand and asked her with amusement, "This is my home, why would I run away?"

Qiao Yuan looked completely bewildered. "Sister, what are you talking about?"

Qiao Xi casually tugged at her loose collar, but Qiao Yuan could clearly see the hickeys on her collarbone—not just one, but several, large and small!

Every adult knows what that means!

Qiao Yuan gritted her teeth in anger. Before she could ask any questions, Qiao Xi lectured her without any politeness, "But you, barging into my and my husband's room so casually, it's really inappropriate."

"If we're having sex, then you're the murderer of the next generation of humanity."

"What?" Qiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, unable to react at all.

But seeing the hickeys on her collarbone, Qiao Yuan was shocked and questioned Qiao Xi, "Sister, you and brother-in-law didn't sleep together last night, did you?"

Qiao Xi sneered and retorted, "If newlyweds don't sleep together, do they expect to sleep in separate rooms?"

"How can this be?" Qiao Yuan blurted out in a sharp voice.

Qiao Xi's expression instantly turned serious, and she said in a more serious tone, "Why can't something that is perfectly legitimate be done?"

Qiao Yuan realized her lapse in composure and immediately feigned weakness, saying, "Sister, Mingxuan will be sad if you do this."

She shook her head and corrected herself, "No, it's my fault. I didn't take you with me. I'm sorry to Brother Mingxuan."

Qiao Xi got goosebumps watching this. She really was the epitome of a green tea bitch. Those ordinary green tea bitches were no match for her at all.

Seeing her consumed by self-blame, Qiao Xi, as her older sister, comforted her, "You've given yourself to him, how have you wronged him?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yuan trembled violently, then said nervously, "Sister, don't talk nonsense."

Qiao Xi calmly continued, "The hotel should have surveillance cameras, right?"

In her past life, her best friend sent Qiao Xi photos of them entering a hotel together, but she refused to believe it.

Judging from Qiao Yuan's reaction now, this should be considered a done deal!

Qiao Yuan's face was extremely ugly. She had always kept her affair with Lu Mingxuan a secret, but it was true that they had spent the night together in a hotel last night.

She just couldn't believe that Qiao Xi would find out about this!

No, she must not know; she was just testing her.

Why would she test her if she knew something?

Qiao Yuan, her mind in turmoil, hurriedly explained, "We...we're waiting for you at the hotel."

"Isn't it at the school gate?" Qiao Xi exposed her lie again.

We clearly agreed to meet at the school gate, but now the location has changed again?

There is only one answer!

The so-called elopement was orchestrated by them. Lu Mingxuan was not waiting for him at the school gate at all, and it was probably Qiao Yuan's credit that Qi Jincheng's people were able to arrive in time!

It was all a scheme set up by that despicable couple!

Joey pressed on, "How many times did you two sleep together behind my back?"

"I didn't!" Qiao Yuan denied it outright.

But her retreat just proved that point.

Qiao Xi didn't actually know whether they had slept together or not, let alone how many times. But after this test, her reaction told her that she probably couldn't count it on two hands.

That despicable couple!

In her past life, she gave all her feelings to Lu Mingxuan, even entrusting the Bai family business to him, but what happened in the end?!

He actually got involved with Qiao Yuan and even conspired with her to rob and kill her!

Qiao Xi grew angrier and angrier. She suppressed her anger and pressed Qiao Yuan step by step. Qiao Yuan was forced to leave the room and had to stop at the top of the stairs.

Just then, the sound of a door opening came from downstairs, and Qi Jincheng appeared.

Suddenly, Qiao Yuan, as if her intelligence had been activated, shouted to Qiao Xi, "Sister, no!"

The next second, she fell down the stairs, screaming in agony, "Ah!!!"

Qi Jincheng and the maid downstairs both looked at Qiao Yuan, who was rolling down the stairs, but no one went to help her until she rolled down the last step.

When she uttered those words, Qiao Xi knew her intention, but unfortunately... she chose the wrong place and the wrong opponent.

Qiao Xi's eyes were filled with Qi Jincheng. She ran downstairs happily, ignoring Qiao Yuan, and threw herself into Qi Jincheng's arms, asking coquettishly, "Honey, why are you back so early?"

Qi Jincheng looked at Qiao Xi with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He knew that Qiao Yuan and Qiao Xi were very close sisters, and that Qiao Xi loved her younger sister very much. He also knew that Qiao Yuan had deliberately lured him away last night to help Qiao Xi elope. But what he saw now was a completely different story.

However, he was well aware of the shady dealings Qiao Yuan had been doing behind the scenes, but he couldn't tell Qiao Xi. If he did, she naturally wouldn't believe him and might even cause a huge scene.

The reason why Qiao Yuan was not forbidden from coming here was also because Qiao Xi's feelings were taken into consideration.

Qiao Yuan's purpose in coming here must be related to Lu Mingxuan, which is why he specifically instructed Butler Zhao and Aunt Liu to inform him immediately if Qiao Yuan came here.

He would never allow anyone to take his woman away!

Qi Jincheng withdrew the doubt from his eyes and, intending to probe her, said, "Aunt Liu told me that we have guests."

Upon hearing this, Joey understood. He was worried that Qiao Yuan's purpose in coming here was not pure, given the previous example.

Seeing that everyone was ignoring her, Qiao Yuan could only endure the pain and try to find a sense of existence herself.

She looked at Qiao Xi with a wronged expression and accused her, "Sister, why did you push me?"
