She administered a very generous dose of the drug; could it be that Young Master Xiao has something wrong with him?
"Oh, then you can leave." Qingyun glanced at her coldly.
Leave? How is she going to ask the young master for money if this doesn't work out?
"Second Young Master, how could you do this? I... I was..." Secretary Miao stared wide-eyed at Qingyun, tears streaming down her face. Dealing with a greenhorn like Second Young Master Xiao, who had just graduated from university, was a piece of cake for her.
"Oh? What did I do to you?" Qingyun lowered her head and tugged at the buttons on her collar. Secretary Miao had given her too much medication, and it would take some time to completely eliminate the effects. Right now, she was only conscious, but her body was still not quite right.
Secretary Miao choked up. To be honest, Young Master Xiao hadn't actually done anything to her. The two had just fallen onto the bed when Young Master Xiao sprang up like a spring. At this point, Secretary Miao had only suffered a slight ripple in her hair.
She looked at the tall, elegant man before her, his collar slightly open, exuding an inexplicable allure, and a thought suddenly struck her. She couldn't do what Young Master Xiao had asked of her, but getting involved with Second Young Master Xiao wouldn't be bad. When the staid President Xiao arrived later, who knew she might even be able to marry into the Xiao family.
Thinking this, Secretary Miao propped herself up and lunged at Qingyun with a frail, boneless gait, but Qingyun dodged to the side. Secretary Miao's lunge landed squarely on the ground.
"Click"
The door opened.
Seeing Secretary Miao lying on the ground, Xiao Chengzhe's smile froze, and all the prepared words got stuck in his throat.
But he immediately realized what was happening and exclaimed, "Secretary Miao, Xiao Nuo, you..."
As he spoke, Xiao Chengzhe subtly winked at Secretary Miao.
Secretary Miao understood and lay on the ground, sobbing again. As she cried, she twisted her body on the ground, and the straps of her dark red evening dress came undone, making her look like she had been thoroughly ravaged.
Xiao Chengzhe looked embarrassed and made a move to close the door. However, a pair of strong hands braced against the door and slowly opened it.
"Dad!" Xiao Chengzhe looked at the person who came, then at Xiao Chengnuo, who was standing in the room with a gloomy expression, and looked troubled.
"What are you blocking? Do you think you can stop him?!" Mr. Xiao walked in with a dark face, his tone full of disappointment. He looked at Xiao Chengnuo with a sinister expression, as if he wanted to beat this unfilial son to death on the spot.
"President...President...Second Young Master...he..." Secretary Miao half-propped herself up, her hair disheveled, looking at Xiao's father, seemingly in too much pain to speak.
"Cheng Zhe, quickly take Secretary Miao to handle this!" Mr. Xiao hurriedly said to Xiao Cheng Zhe.
Xiao Chengzhe did as instructed, helping Secretary Miao up and taking her to the bathroom, a hint of smugness flashing in his lowered eyes.
Qingyun glanced at him. Why would Xiao Chengzhe, the eldest young master of the Xiao family, frame Xiao Chengnuo? Because Xiao Chengzhe was only adopted. His real name was Chengzhe, and he was the son of Xiao's father's business partner.
Years ago, Xiao's father and his business partner had a disagreement. The partner angrily drove home and was involved in a car accident, leaving behind his son who was still in kindergarten. Xiao's father felt guilty and adopted Cheng Zhe.
However, Cheng Zhe completely blamed Xiao's father for his father's death. He had absolutely no sense of belonging to the Xiao family. His goal was to drive Xiao Chengnuo away and rightfully take over the Xiao family.
Looking at Xiao Chengnuo, who stood there without any remorse, Xiao's father was furious and raised his hand to slap him.
Qingyun turned her head away and narrowed her eyes as she looked at Xiao's father, who was blaming her without explanation.
Xiao Chengnuo's father, who built his fortune from scratch, had high hopes for his son and was extremely strict with him. Xiao Chengzhe saw this in his father and thus forced Xiao Chengnuo to become the kind of spoiled brat his father disliked most. Xiao Chengnuo did everything imaginable that was disliked: forging report cards, speeding, causing trouble.
Xiao Chengnuo wasn't stupid, but he genuinely treated Xiao Chengzhe like an older brother. He even tried to stir up trouble to get Xiao's father's attention, but under Xiao Chengzhe's guidance, he repeatedly made things worse.
However, Xiao Chengzhe's perfect pretense in front of his father only highlighted Xiao Chengnuo's unreliability.
"You're still hiding! You've only been with the company for a few days and you've already done something so shameful. How am I supposed to explain this to Secretary Miao?" Mr. Xiao's eyes widened, but the more he spoke, the more helpless he became. His second son always disappointed him, and this time he had crossed Mr. Xiao's bottom line.
Upon hearing this, the several old foxes, half-buried in the grave, felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at Qingyun's seemingly gentle expression. So young, with such high cultivation, yet so ruthless!
This child named Qingyun truly made them feel inferior.
Hearing the excited gasps below, Nie Chenyuan chuckled with a sense of pride. Qingyun was extremely perceptive; she was not the kind of person who would be swayed by a few words and let a tiger return to the mountain.
After the game ended, he picked up his phone and made a call.
"Mom, I'm also very disappointed in you."
Qingyun looked at Lin's mother, who was swaying precariously below the arena, and said without any mercy.
Lin's mother nearly fainted. She finally understood that this Qingyun was no longer the Qingyun she had manipulated. Lin Yuhao was ruined; what was the point of her abandoning her family and children a second time? She might as well have remained Qingyun's wife!
"Qingyun, you are too ruthless. Even if you have profound cultivation, you are still despised by the ancient martial arts world!"
One of the audience members stood up and accused Qingyun, "Your father deserved what he got, how dare you avenge him?"
After this person spoke up, a few others echoed him, but most people were still shocked by Qingyun's powerful martial arts and dared not utter a sound.
At this moment, the giant screen broadcasting the live battle in the arena suddenly flickered, followed by a black-and-white image reminiscent of a movie from the 1970s or 80s.
When Lin's mother looked up and saw the two figures on the screen, her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground: "Impossible... the Qing residence is destroyed..."
On the screen, a pretty woman with short, ear-length hair was being spun around in the arms of a refined man. The woman smiled and then suddenly burst into tears, but her face was full of happiness.
She wrapped her arms around the man's neck and said sweetly, "Haolin, thank you for rescuing me from that terrible family. I can't even bear to think about that painful life before. He beat me and forced me to give birth..."
"What's going on? Why are they showing a movie?" The audience members were clearly puzzled and discussing among themselves.
"This man seems somewhat familiar?" A martial artist, around fifty years old, frowned, then suddenly seemed to remember something and pointed at the screen in surprise, saying, "This man is Qing Haolin! Qing Haolin in his youth!"
