"You..." He Huilan was so angry that she started to pretend to have chest pains, looking like she was about to die, and Qiao Yuan helped her up.
Qiao Xi glanced coldly at the mother and daughter before continuing, "It's not troublesome, but I'm worried about hurting A-Jin's eyes. The eyes of the president of Dihua Group are not something an ordinary person can afford to compensate for."
Qiao Yuan jumped up in anger, "Dad, look at what my sister is saying! She's deliberately trying to embarrass me in front of President Qi."
"Enough!" Qiao Guangyuan was also furious, but at this moment, his first thought was to save face. He said fiercely, "That matter ends here!"
"As the president of Dihua Group, our son-in-law is indeed very busy. You should stop making a fuss and let Yuanyuan go back with Xiaoxi in a little while."
"Where to?" Joey asked, looking puzzled.
"Of course I'll go back to the garden with you," Qiao Guangyuan said impatiently.
Qiao Xi instantly wiped the smile off her face and asked coldly, "Why should I?"
The veins on Qiao Guangyuan's face bulged instantly, and he pointed at Qiao Xi with a fierce look, demanding, "What do you mean by that?"
Qiao Xi changed her submissive attitude from before, and said slowly with dissatisfaction towards Qiao Yuan in her words: "I'm afraid everyone in the capital knows about my sister's affair. What will others think if we let her move into Fuyuan now?"
"Having just seduced someone else's boyfriend, you're now getting interested in your sister's man?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Qiao Yuan retorted loudly, her face flushed and her voice filled with embarrassment and anger.
He Huilan was also furious and angrily rebuked Qiao Xi, "How could you say such things about your own sister?"
Ignoring her, Qiao Xi continued in her melodious voice, "Although the outside world doesn't know that the Bai family heir is also the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, so no one knows about the relationship between Qiao Yuan and me, everyone in Fuyuan knows about my relationship with Qiao Yuan."
"There are many people and a lot of eyes in Fuyuan. It's inevitable that there will be a few who like to gossip. As the older sister, I certainly wouldn't think that way, but others will inevitably think that way."
At this point, Qiao Xi looked at Qiao Guangyuan. He was unaware of the mother and daughter's scheme. He was actually being used as a pawn by them, and what's worse, he was enjoying it and couldn't extricate himself from it.
Although Qiao Xi's words made him uncomfortable, he didn't say anything.
Qiao Xi seized the opportunity to further fuel the fire, saying, "Dad, you can't let others think that about Yuanyuan, can you? Besides, this matter directly affects Ajin. If Ajin is affected, the entire Dihua Group will be affected, and then..."
She paused deliberately halfway through her sentence, then whispered in Qiao Guangyuan's ear, "All those projects you want to collaborate on with Dihua will definitely be affected."
After hearing that, he understood.
Regardless of the fact that he hadn't mentioned these things to Qiao Xi, it was likely that Qi Jincheng had told her.
After calming himself down, Qiao Guangyuan said to Qiao Yuan, "Yuanyuan, don't go anywhere for now. Just stay home."
"Dad..." Qiao Yuan felt wronged and just wanted him to change his mind, but Qiao Guangyuan's stance was firmer than ever before. "Your sister is right. If it affects my son-in-law, can you take responsibility?"
Qiao Yuan was extremely resentful. Just as she was about to try to persuade Qiao Guangyuan, Qiao Xi said with a tired look on her face, "Dad, I'm a little tired. I'll go back to my room and rest for a bit."
Qiao Guangyuan, his face grim, replied, "Go."
No sooner had Qiao Xi gone upstairs than He Huilan impatiently questioned Qiao Guangyuan, "Husband, how can you listen to her in everything?"
“We had already decided to send Yuanyuan to Fuyuan Garden before, how can you just say you don’t want her to go anymore!”
"How dare you ask me that?!" Qiao Guangyuan roared at her furiously, "If this hadn't happened, would things have turned out like this?!"
"Didn't you hear Yuanyuan say that it was all arranged by that brat Qiao Xi?!" He Huilan shouted angrily.
Qiao Guangyuan rarely defended Qiao Xi, saying, "Xiao Xi did nothing wrong, she just didn't think it through."
He said that, but Qiao Yuan disagreed a thousand times over. She insisted, "Dad, my sister did it on purpose."
"Alright, that's enough!" Qiao Guangyuan glared at her fiercely, then turned and left angrily.
Seeing Qiao Guangyuan's drastic change in attitude, Qiao Yuan was immediately filled with fear. She grabbed He Huilan's wrist and asked worriedly, "Mom, what should we do?"
He Huilan hadn't expected things to turn out this way, especially Qiao Xi's attitude towards her. She hadn't believed Qiao Yuan when she heard it from her before, but it turned out to be true.
Considering Qiao Xi's current status, it's really not a good idea to offend her!
He Huilan couldn't help but vent her anger on Qiao Yuan again, "How many times have I reminded you to be careful? You just won't listen."
Qiao Yuan retorted defiantly, "Mom, how can you blame me? I did this to maintain Lu Mingxuan's relationship with that bitch Qiao Xi, and ideally, to catch Qi Jincheng in the act. That would save us a lot of trouble."
"Then you don't need to sleep with him," He Huilan retorted irritably.
Qiao Yuan argued, feeling wronged, "Mom, if I don't make some sacrifices, will Lu Mingxuan listen to me?"
He Huilan, looking exasperated, decided to wash her hands of the matter, saying, "Fine, fine, I'm not going to care anymore. You figure it out yourself."
Qiao Xi heard the conversation clearly from above. They certainly didn't treat her like an 'outsider,' speaking in unrestrained voices. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were deliberately talking to her.
Qiao Xi was in her room at the moment, but to be precise, it was no longer her room. Qiao Yuan had moved into her room without saying a word the day she moved to Fuyuan.
In her previous life, Qiao Xi didn't say anything after finding out, since she was her beloved younger sister and naturally went along with her in everything.
However, Qiao Xi also had to thank her at this moment, as she not only moved her own things into her room, but also placed He Huilan's incriminating evidence there.
He Huilan thought Qiao Yuan's room was the safest, and the mother and daughter really had her scumbag father completely fooled.
Qiao Xi couldn't feel sorry for Qiao Guangyuan, especially since He Huilan had just let it slip that they had known each other since they were young!
If she hadn't misunderstood youth, they certainly wouldn't have been young when they met!
Qiao Xi found the property certificate she had accidentally seen in her previous life in the same place. At that time, although she suspected that He Huilan was having an affair, she did not associate the person with the name on the property certificate because she did not know the other party's identity.
