Chapter 4 Setting up a trap? She underestimated Qu Ge!
"Sister-in-law, I haven't eaten yet, where are you going in such a hurry?"
Qiao Wanwan wore an exquisite handmade little dress, with carefully styled curly hair draped over her shoulders, and her perfect makeup was flawless.
In comparison, Qu Ge's pale face due to his serious injuries looked haggard and ugly.
At this moment, the only decent thing on her was the dress that Qiao Xuan gave her.
He had known that the situation would be like this tonight, so he prepared this "discharge gift" for her so that she would not embarrass him too much.
It’s really well-intentioned.
Qu Ge came to her senses and saw that the person following Qiao Wanwan was the blonde who had burned her with a cigarette butt in the cemetery that day.
The cigarette scars on her arms still hurt.
The culprit in front of him didn't lose a single hair, and even looked more radiant than that day.
Looking at them walking towards her arrogantly, Qu Ge felt it was really ironic.
She recalled the day when Qiao Xian promised her solemnly -
"I won't let go of those who bullied you."
Now that he thought about it, he had probably forgotten what he had said to her.
Without waiting for Qu Ge to speak, Qiao Wanwan suddenly stepped forward and hugged her.
"Sister-in-law, you are finally discharged from the hospital. I have been worried about you these days!"
"I was wrong last time, and my brother has already scolded me. I just wanted to visit you and bring you a little pet to cheer you up, but who knew you'd hate the gift I prepared for you so much..."
"Sister-in-law, please be magnanimous and forgive me, okay~"
Qiao Wanwan smiled widely and snuggled into Qu Ge's arms, acting coquettishly.
If someone who doesn't know the situation saw this scene, they would probably think that they have a very good relationship.
Qu Ge's heart was pounding and his stomach was churning.
Beside her, the blonde girl also agreed with a cheeky smile.
"That's right, sister-in-law, please don't bother with us! We were just joking with you. Who knew you were so delicate and tender? Just a casual touch would..."
"Is that enough?"
Before the blonde could finish her words, she was frightened by Qiao Xu'an's cold gaze and shut her mouth.
Qu Ge watched them acting in front of her in unison and found it increasingly ridiculous.
It seems that in Qiao Xuan's eyes, although she is a plaything, she can only be played with by Qiao Wanwan.
If it were someone else, he wouldn't allow it.
It is truly a great honor!
Qu Ge immediately pushed Qiao Wanwan away.
Although she didn't use much strength, Qiao Wanwan cried out "ouch" and fell into Qiao Xun'an's arms.
She pouted with a look of grievance and complained to the others: "Brother! Look at her... I apologized to her in a very gentle manner, but not only did she not appreciate it, she even hit me!"
beat?
Qu Ge smiled.
If she really wanted to hit her, she would have slapped her face to pieces long ago! How could she just give her a gentle push?!
But Qiao Xuan is a blind man who only has Qiao Wanwan in his eyes.
When Qiao Wanwan said she was beaten, he really coaxed her in a soft voice.
"Wanwan, don't be angry. Qu Ge is not that petty. You have apologized. She won't blame you."
"Today is your welcome party. Haven't you always been clamoring to go back to your country? Now that you're back, you're not allowed to throw a tantrum anymore."
In Qiao Xu'an's eyes, Qiao Wanwan seems to be a child who will never grow up.
Qu Ge had been with him for three years and had never seen him say a harsh word to Qiao Wanwan.
Before, she just thought he was a good brother who loved his sister.
But now she knows.
Qiao Wanwan has always been the person who stands at the top of Qiao Xu'an's heart.
Not to mention getting angry at her, even if Qiao Wanwan lost a hair, he would be so heartbroken that he wouldn't be able to sleep for several nights!
She really couldn't bear to watch this disgusting scene.
Since they wouldn't let her go, she simply turned around and went back into the house.
No matter what kind of swords and fire are waiting for her inside, she is happy to accompany them.
She wanted to see how shameless they could be!
…
The welcoming banquet for the daughter of the Qiao family returning home was attended by all the prominent figures in Jiangzhou City.
In public, Qiao Xu'an always kept Qu Ge by his side, and would considerately help her tidy up her hair or skirt from time to time, for fear that others would not see how much he loved her.
She has been the campus beauty of Jiangda University for three consecutive years.
There is no better deception than hers.
In the past, Qu Ge would have definitely played the role of a competent female companion in such occasions.
But now, she sees clearly that the rules of this game are not fair at all.
She was fed up.
"Sorry, I have to excuse myself for a moment."
Qu Ge interrupted Qiao Xu'an who was chatting happily with the guests beside him and left with a cold face.
She hid on the terrace and sent the black avatar the location of Weiyuan Villa.
"Can you find someone to pick me up?"
The message was sent, but fell on deaf ears.
Qu Ge sighed.
She didn't hold much hope in the first place and just thought of it as a chance.
The winter night wind was very cold, and she was only wearing a thin skirt, which was really hard to resist.
Helpless, she could only go back into the house obediently.
Not far away, Qiao Xuan was chatting and laughing with a few friends.
They didn't notice Qu Ge approaching and were still using her as a topic of conversation.
"Master Qiao, you've been accompanying that little girl shopping for groceries, cooking, and playing house every day for the past few years, and you're not tired of it yet?"
"After hanging out with you guys for so long, it's quite refreshing to occasionally live the life of a poor person."
There was a hint of amusement on Qiao Xuan's lips, and his voice was like a sharp thorn piercing Qu Ge's eardrum.
Qu Ge stopped where he was, not knowing for a moment whether he should go forward and disturb their interest.
In her brief moment of distraction, she didn't notice someone approaching with bad intentions.
The next second, Qiao Wanwan appeared out of nowhere and bumped into her on purpose.
There was a crash——
Qiao Wanwan poured the full cup of hot milk in her hand all over Qu Ge's face!
The scalding milk instantly turned her fair skin red, and the burning stinging sensation made her gasp.
"hiss……"
"Oh! I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I didn't see you, I didn't mean it!"
Qiao Wanwan hypocritically apologized to Qu Ge, and while speaking, she wiped her face and body with a tissue.
When her hand passed across Qu Ge's left shoulder, a needle-like tingling pain instantly penetrated Qu Ge's nerves.
I faintly heard a soft "pop" sound in my ear.
The shoulder strap on Qu Ge's left shoulder broke without warning.
The satin long skirt instantly slipped off the chest, revealing infinite charming spring scenery.
The noise attracted the attention of everyone around, and those malicious eyes stabbed like sharp knives.
Qu Ge frantically raised her hands to shield her chest, but she didn't care about the embarrassment on her face. The already sticky milk was all over her hair, dripping down her cheeks until it passed over her collarbone and penetrated her tightly clenched fingers...
Someone in the crowd laughed out loud, "Holy crap! This is too exciting! Who can resist this..."
The crowd, which had been silent at first, suddenly exploded.
The people around covered their mouths and whispered.
Even though Qu Ge couldn't hear what they were saying, he could see their undisguised evil thoughts from their obscene eyes.
Qiao Wanwan stood aside with her hands folded, watching the show, with a look of pride on her face as if she had succeeded in her prank.
But, she really underestimated Qu Ge.
But tricks like this are not enough to make her admit defeat!
Qu Ge firmly grasped the fabric in front of her chest with one hand, and quickly wiped the milk stains off her face with the other hand. Under the gaze of everyone, she walked steadily towards the bathroom in her high heels.
As she passed by Qiao Wanwan, she lowered her voice and sneered, "Those are the only tricks you have. Don't you think they're too childish? If you're really capable, try using sulfuric acid next time!"
"you!……"
Qiao Wanwan immediately frowned in anger.
Before she could fight back, Qu Ge's calm figure disappeared around the corner.
On the side, Qiao Xuan, who witnessed everything, quickly chased after him.
Qiao Wanwan reached out to pull him, but he dodged sideways.
He frowned and gave her a look.
Although there were no harsh words, displeasure was clearly written in his eyes.
Qiao Wanwan's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, not daring to move forward...
restroom.
The moment the cold water hit his face, Qu Ge suddenly became much more sober.
She had just tied the knot on the shoulder strap when she looked up and saw Qiao Xuean appear behind her in the mirror.
Josh took off his coat and carefully draped it over her shoulders.
Just as he was about to speak, Qu Ge spoke first.
"No need to explain for her. I know she didn't mean it."
As he spoke, the thin wound on Qu Ge's shoulder was still oozing blood.
If it wasn't intentional, she really couldn't figure out why Qiao Wanwan "happened" to hide a blade in her palm.
But she knew that no matter what she said, Qiao Xian would not care.
In his eyes, no matter what Qiao Wanwan did, it was never intentional, she was just a child who didn't understand.
Qu Ge's cold tone and her deliberate half step back clearly made Qiao Xuan aware of her resistance to him.
He frowned and finally said an insincere "I'm sorry".
"She was happy today and had a few extra drinks. I'll tell her when I get home tonight."
"That's not necessary."
A few bland reprimands, or sending the person back to Europe?
This means nothing to Qu Ge.
What she wanted was for Qiao Wanwan to pay with her life!
Qu Ge was in no mood to play along with Qiao Xuan anymore.
She was about to leave when suddenly a servant came running over and whispered something in Qiao Xian's ear.
Qiao Xuan's expression changed instantly.
He didn't even give a perfunctory explanation, he just left Qu Ge and turned to rush towards the back garden.
Seeing his hurried steps, Qu Ge knew without a doubt that it must be Qiao Wanwan who was throwing a tantrum again.
Qu Ge followed Qiao Xuan to the back garden.
As soon as I went out, I heard Qiao Wanwan crying.
"Why are you still looking for me?! You no longer have me as your sister in your heart! You only care about that bitch Qu Ge!"
"Wanwan, you are drunk."
"I'm not drunk! How could I be in the mood to drink? You liar, you promised to hold a welcoming banquet for me, and said I would be the boss today! But what happened? You were like conjoined twins with Qu Ge from beginning to end, and you didn't even look at me!"
Qiao Wanwan took advantage of the drunkenness to act crazy.
Qu Ge secretly hid behind a tree and watched the fun.
There was a burst of banging and smashing sounds, accompanied by Qiao Wanwan's harsh curses.
"Since you like her so much, why don't you just listen to her and send me to jail! She's the only one you have eyes for now anyway! You can just use me to cheer her up!"
"Wanwan, how could I let you go to jail? You are my sister!"
"Humph! To you, your sister isn't as important as your girlfriend! You want me to apologize to her and give in to her in everything. You just watch her bully me and you don't care about me at all!"
"I won't let anyone bully you. Be good and put the bottle down. Don't hurt yourself, or I'll feel bad."
Gentleness is always the thing that Qiao Xuan has the most, especially when facing Qiao Wanwan, whom he regards as a treasure.
Listening to their flirting back and forth, Qu Ge no longer felt that it was anything worth caring about.
From the day she discovered Qiao Xian's secret, in just one week, she had given up her feelings for him.
Now, she just considers herself an outsider watching the show.
Perhaps because she was tired of smashing things, Qiao Wanwan finally calmed down a bit.
She cried and acted coquettishly to Qiao Xu'an: "Brother, can you break up with Qu Ge? I hate her! I hate all the women around you! I want to be with you forever, just you and me..."
Because of the heavy shadows of the trees, Qu Ge couldn't see what expression Qiao Xuan'an had at the moment.
She thought he would agree to Qiao Wanwan without hesitation and coax her as obediently as he did just now.
Who would have thought that Qiao Xu'an...
