"Shut up!" Qiao Guangyuan suddenly turned his anger on Qiao Yuan.
Qiao Yuan was startled and cried out in a sob, "Dad."
Qiao Guangyuan emphasized to Qiao Yuan in what he considered an authoritative voice, "How could your sister like Lu Mingxuan? The person she likes is my son-in-law, the heir of the Qi family, and the president of Dihua Group, Qi Jincheng."
His words were hard for the mother and daughter to accept, as they both thought Qiao Guangyuan had sided with Qiao Xi. But only Qiao Xi knew that he said those words for his own face and interests.
You see, he now considers Qi Jincheng his 'cash cow,' and the key to securing this cash cow, in his view, is Qiao Xi. So no matter who she liked before, now, the person she likes must be Qi Jincheng.
On this point, he would not allow anyone to pin the blame on Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi echoed his sentiment, "Yes."
"But then again, since my sister knows I like Lu Mingxuan, why does she still stay with him?"
Qiao Yuan once again vehemently denied the rumors, saying, "We are not together!"
Faced with her resolute attitude, Qiao Xi could only sigh helplessly, "Sigh..."
However, since we've come all this way, we can't just let it go like this.
Qiao Xi then took out her phone, found the video, and clicked play in front of Qiao Guangyuan, saying, "Dad, watch it yourself."
There were only two people and a bed in the video, so the scene was indescribable.
Qiao Guangyuan wanted to throw his phone as soon as he started watching, but Qiao Xi took it back first, otherwise the phone that A Jin had just bought for her would have been destroyed again.
"Outrageous!" Qiao Guangyuan slammed his hand heavily on the table, pointing at Qiao Yuan's nose and scolding, "You still dare to say there's nothing between you two?"
Seeing this, He Huilan quickly came over to smooth things over, "Honey, what are you doing?"
Qiao Guangyuan snatched Qiao Xi's phone again and excitedly tapped the screen, making He Huilan see for herself.
He Huilan knew what was going on. After only glancing at the video, she pretended to lecture Qiao Yuan, "Yuanyuan, how could you be friends with such a lowlife?!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately turned to Qiao Guangyuan and said nicely, "Honey, it's inevitable for young people to be impulsive. Weren't we the same when we were that age?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi's heart sank.
When was she referring to her youth? After her mother passed away, or before?
In an instant, a surge of anger welled up from the bottom of her heart. She suppressed it and forced a smile as she asked, "When you were young?"
"Mom, when did you and Dad meet?"
“We…” He Huilan almost blurted it out, but Qiao Guangyuan stopped her and loudly reprimanded Qiao Xi, “Is this something you should be asking?”
Qiao Xi pretended to be gossipy and said, "Dad, I was just asking out of curiosity. Don't be stingy, share your beautiful love story with us."
Qiao Guangyuan's expression was rather unpleasant, clearly indicating that he did not want to tell Qiao Xi. However, He Huilan did not notice Qiao Xi's probing at all, and said with a shy smile, "It's been so many years, I've almost forgotten about it."
Qiao Yuan didn't have time to listen to her nonsense and interrupted her on the spot, "Mom."
He Huilan snapped out of her pleasant memories and immediately saw Qiao Guangyuan's warning look. She quickly realized what was happening and wiped the shy smile off her face.
To cover up the slight embarrassment, He Huilan immediately changed the subject, saying, "Xiao Xi, why didn't Jin Cheng come back with you?"
Qiao Guangyuan followed up on her question and asked again, emphasizing, "Why didn't you bring your son-in-law with you?"
"Dad," Qiao Xi said helplessly and aggrievedly, "When I saw the news, A Jin had already gone to the company. I was in a hurry, so I rushed over without even having time to tell him."
"Dad, I want my brother-in-law to come see me," Qiao Yuan suddenly exclaimed.
Qiao Guangyuan readily agreed to Qiao Yuan's request. He immediately said to Qiao Xi in a commanding tone, "Call your son-in-law later and ask him to come over for dinner."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi's lips curled into a mocking smile. He really was putting on airs like a father-in-law. Unfortunately, her A Jin was not someone he could summon and dismiss at will, nor was she someone he could see whenever he wanted!
“Dad, Ah Jin is in charge of the entire Dihua Group. I can only ask him if he has time to come over for dinner.” Joey emphasized a few words.
Upon hearing her words, Qiao Guangyuan immediately frowned in displeasure, but he couldn't overpower Qi Jincheng, so he could only reluctantly say, "Then you can ask her."
Qiao Yuan instantly became anxious and, spoiled and arrogant, shouted loudly, "I don't care, I want my brother-in-law to come see me!"
Seeing this, He Huilan quickly advised her, "Yuanyuan, Jincheng is very busy every day, you should be more understanding of him."
Qiao Xi knew exactly what the mother and daughter were thinking, and He Huilan's words were also a subtle reminder to Qiao Yuan that if she wanted to sit in the chair of the president's wife of Dihua Group, she must first learn to be considerate of Qi Jincheng.
Compared to Qiao Yuan, He Huilan has more life experience and is more thoughtful in all aspects.
In her past life, if it weren't for her giving Qiao Yuan advice and playing the good person at home, Qiao Xi wouldn't have been so easily fooled by them.
Qiao Yuan barely understood what He Huilan meant, but she still insisted, "For what happened last time and this time, my sister must apologize to me."
He Huilan quickly echoed, "Yes."
“Xiaoxi, your dad called you before and asked you to apologize to Yuanyuan. Now Yuanyuan has spoken up. As long as Jincheng comes over and says a few nice words, she will forgive you.”
An apology? Forgiveness?
Qiao Xi's hands, placed under the table, were clenched so tightly that her knuckles cracked. Although she had grown accustomed to their shameless behavior in her past life, at this moment, she still couldn't resist the urge to strangle them!
What's even more outrageous is Qiao Guangyuan, who indulged their demands. Qiao Xi said, "Why don't you call Jin Cheng and tell him to make sure he can come over when he has time? No matter how busy the company is, it's not more important than family, is it?"
Heh, Qiao Xi sneered inwardly. Family is important, but they don't deserve the word 'family' at all!
Qiao Xi smiled slightly at them and said in a calm tone, "Even if A Jin comes, it won't change the fact that Yuan Yuan slept with Lu Mingxuan."
"Does Mom really want me to project the video of Yuanyuan and Lu Mingxuan sleeping together in front of Ajin?" Qiao Yi's smile was accompanied by a chilling look in her eyes.
