Chapter 42: Venting Out on Qiao Wanwan
After leaving Xichuan Yue, Qiao Xuan did not go to the company, but returned to the Qiao family mansion.
Before I even entered the room, I heard Qiao Wanwan crying and making a fuss in the room.
"What right does that bitch have? How is she better than me?!"
"Who said I have mental problems? Let me out! I want to see my brother! I want to see my parents!"
"Why did you lock me up here? Who gave you the courage?!"
Qiao Xuan pinched his eyebrows impatiently.
He was really tired of hearing the same few words over and over again.
He opened the door and went in.
When she saw him, Qiao Wanwan instantly calmed down.
She immediately put down the vase she was holding in the air and called out to him timidly, "Brother, why are you back..."
"Don't you want to see me?"
Qiao Xuan slowly changed his shoes and walked into the main hall, passing the mess on the floor.
He stood in front of Qiao Wanwan, looking down at her as if he was observing a prey.
"What's the fuss? Don't you think tonight is embarrassing enough?"
"I……"
Qiao Wanwan was full of grievances, but she didn't dare to say a word.
She knew that she had lost her composure in front of the media tonight and said things she shouldn't have said, and Qiao Xuan must be angry with her.
She wanted to go to him to explain, but the housekeeper brought people to stop her and refused to let her go out no matter what, saying that it was Qiao Xuan's order.
From childhood to adulthood, she has never been treated like this in this family!
She just smashed a few things because she was really angry.
Seeing Qiao Xuan's gloomy face, Qiao Wanwan swallowed guiltily and instantly turned into a cat with its neck pinched.
She suppressed her temper and bowed her head to admit her mistake: "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong... I know I shouldn't have disobeyed you and ran to the venue by myself. But I just can't understand it! It was clearly me who negotiated Kang Zhou's contract! But why did you only bring Qu Ge to today's celebration party and not me..."
Qiao Wanwan kept complaining.
The vicious look in Qiao Xuan's eyes deepened.
Even he himself doesn't understand why.
In the past, he always had endless patience with Qiao Wanwan, and he would coax her no matter how noisy she was.
But now...
Just hearing her shrill voice annoyed him to death.
He couldn't hear a word that was said in his ear.
The only thing left in his mind was Qu Ge's pitiful face leaning in his arms tonight, which he couldn't get rid of!
Just thinking about her made it difficult for him to calm down.
The restless fire in his body eventually burned out his sanity.
He suddenly grabbed Qiao Wanwan's hand, and regardless of her gasps and cries of pain, roughly dragged her up to the room on the second floor.
The door was locked with a bang.
Qiao Wanwan was so frightened that she stood there, at a loss as to what to do.
"Brother, what's wrong with you..."
She didn't know what she had said to anger him.
The man in front of me looked the same as before, but his personality and temperament seemed to have completely changed.
Moody and unpredictable.
There was only a desk lamp on in the room.
In the dim light, Qiao Wanwan couldn't see the expression on Qiao Xuan's cold face.
She was shocked and frightened and took a step back unconsciously.
However, this unconscious little action burned the last bit of conscious restraint in Qiao Xu'an's heart to ashes.
The next second, he reached out and grabbed Qiao Wanwan, and his large palm clasped her left shoulder and pressed it down hard. The enormous force made her unable to bear it, and her knees fell heavily to the ground.
"Brother... what are you going to do?!"
Qiao Wanwan widened her eyes in horror and looked up at the man standing tall in front of her.
Hearing her voice, Qiao Xuan's brows furrowed even more.
"Hush!" he snapped.
Qiao Wanwan was so scared that her whole body was shaking.
Before she could react, someone grabbed her cheeks and forced her teeth open.
It was not until this moment that Qiao Wanwan finally understood what Qiao Xuan was going to do to her.
She shook her head in resistance, but was slapped hard in the face.
"Be good and don't make me angry."
Qiao Xuan drank a lot of wine tonight.
If it weren't for the effect of alcohol, he would never allow himself to do such a ridiculous thing.
After finishing, he couldn't wait to rush into the bathroom to wash himself clean.
There is no sense of satisfaction at all.
There's just a lingering nausea.
Just one door away.
Qiao Wanwan was like a tattered toy doll, thrown on the ground casually.
Tears kept falling, but she didn't dare to cry out loud.
If she spoke out, she would anger him.
She was so scared that she could only bite her fingers and endure it.
The bitten finger was in great pain.
But she seemed numb and could not feel it.
Compared to the pain in her fingers, the heart-wrenching pain in her chest made it even more difficult for her to breathe.
She could never forget the moment when he released himself on her, and he kept shouting—
"Xiaoge..."
"So good..."
…
At the same time, Xichuan Yue.
“Beep—”
Qu Ge pushed open the door of the study.
She couldn't believe her eyes.
The password Rong Zhoubai gave her was actually correct!
Without thinking too much, she walked straight to the desk.
Turn on your computer.
The document she was looking for was lying quietly on the table!
Without any effort.
Qu Ge started it himself. Isn’t this matter a little too simple and weird?
She quickly sent the document to Rong Zhoubai and cautiously warned him, "Be careful, there might be fraud."
"Don't worry, I know my limits." Rong Zhoubai replied immediately.
After finishing the work, Qu Ge flipped through the other things in Qiao Xuan's computer.
She transferred most of the files to her phone in case she needed them.
After doing this, she carefully erased all traces.
When she was about to leave, she stopped in front of the bookshelf again.
That photo album is still on the top shelf of the bookshelf.
However, it was covered with a thick layer of dust, as if no one had turned it over for a long time.
Qu Ge frowned and took pictures of the disgusting words page by page with her phone...
…
The next day.
Qu Ge went to the hospital to visit Li Siqi.
During this period, Qin Shuzhi stayed here every day without leaving, and he looked much more haggard.
While Qu Ge was here, he could go back and change his clothes.
As soon as he left, the ward became quiet, with only the beeps of various medical instruments remaining.
Qu Ge sat on the edge of the bed, looking at his phone.
What happened last night has already caused an uproar on the Internet.
Public opinion shifted.
Qiao Wanwan’s account is full of disgusting insults.
Calls for a reinvestigation of the Qu Shunzhi case are growing louder.
Qu Ge read the comments to Li Siqi one by one.
As she read on, her voice became more choked with sobs.
"Siqi, please get up quickly."
"If you keep lying like this, your limbs will degenerate."
"You care so much about your figure. If you don't start exercising, you'll lose your abs..."
In the quiet ward, Qu Ge couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears beside Li Siqi...
Half an hour later, Qin Shuzhi returned to the hospital.
Qu Ge had already sorted out his emotions.
Before she could finish her polite words, Qin Shuzhi asked, "Did Qiao Xu'an come with you?"
"No, I came here by myself."
Qiao Xuan never went back after leaving Xichuan Yue last night. He just sent a message this morning saying that he would have dinner with her in the evening.
Qu Ge didn't know why Qin Shuzhi asked this.
She was about to speak when someone else spoke first: "I just saw him."
"He's in the hospital?"
"Yeah, with Qiao Jingren."
"Qiao Jingren?"
The last time Qu Ge heard news about Qiao Jingren was when he was taken to the police station.
She thought Qiao Jingren had been under investigation at the police station.
I never thought that he had been released?
Qin Shuzhi looked at her with narrowed eyes. Seeing that she really seemed unaware, he told her, "They were just in the garden downstairs."
"I see. Thank you."
Qu Ge hurried downstairs.
She had to find out whether the father and son of the Qiao family had really become enemies, or whether they were just putting on a show for outsiders.
In the garden.
Qiao Jingren sat in a wheelchair and let Qiao Xuan push him forward.
He looked very strange, with half of his face twitching irregularly all the time, and his whole body looked very stiff, like a dead old tree trunk.
Qu Ge approached cautiously.
I only heard Qiao Xu'an say calmly: "Don't worry, your daughter is fine, I will take good care of her."
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and showed something to Qiao Jingren.
The next second, Qiao Jingren was shaking with excitement.
He glared at Qiao Xian fiercely, as if he wanted to raise his hand to hit him, but he couldn't lift his arm at all and could only twitch comically.
Looking at his pitiful appearance, Qiao Xuan not only did not show any concern, but instead pulled the corner of his mouth sarcastically.
"Why are you so nervous? Isn't she fine?"
"I've already sent Liu Yong to jail. You should really thank me for saving your daughter."
"Are you trying to say that I designed all this?"
"Yes, I admit it, but so what?"
"Qiao Jingren, when you almost beat me to death, didn't you ever think about the retribution you'd get today?"
Qiao Jingren's eyes turned red with anger, and he wished he could turn his eyes into a sharp knife to cut off the flesh of Qiao Xuan'an's body piece by piece.
But he couldn't do it.
He couldn't even open his mouth to curse him now, and could only make hoarse sounds, like an old radio with no signal.
Seeing this scene, Qu Ge couldn't help but frown.
She was distracted for a moment and accidentally stepped on the fallen leaves under her feet.
With a click.
It fell clearly into Qiao Xian's ears...
