Chapter 220: Chapter 213: Zhan Qipei, I’m Going All Out Against You
“Zhan Qipei, I’m going all out against you!”
He hadn’t even kissed her small lips yet!
“Fourth brother, don’t get physical, he’s really drunk!”
Qiao Jing flipped over, positioning herself in front of Xu Moqian.
Xu Moqian was a bundle of rage and frustration!
“Sister Jing, I can’t just stand by and watch you get deceived by him, today I must beat him up!”
Xu Moqian rolled up his sleeves, grabbed Zhan Qipei’s collar, while Zhan Qipei lay motionless in bed.
“Hey! Get up! If you don’t get up now, I’m really going to smash this fist into your face!”
After Xu Moqian shouted, he realized Zhan Qipei was still motionless, just like before.
“Fine! You’re good at playing dead! Let’s see how long you can keep this up!” With those words, Xu Moqian raised his fist and aimed it at Zhan Qipei’s face.
Before the fist could hit Zhan Qipei’s face, Qiao Jing stopped it.
“Stop it!” Qiao Jing frowned, clearly unhappy.
“But he took advantage of you!” The image of Zhan Qipei pinning Qiao Jing down was something Xu Moqian couldn’t accept.
“It was an accident.”
“Then, then let me accidentally kiss you too!”
Right after Xu Moqian spoke those words, Qiao Jing caught a glimpse of Zhan Qipei’s hand moving.
Qiao Jing took a deep breath and looked sternly at Xu Moqian.
“I know you care about me, but I can protect myself well, and I know what to do and what not to do.”
Qiao Jing made it so clear that if Xu Moqian continued to make a fuss, it would surely annoy her.
After all, Qiao Jing was intelligent, wise, mature, and composed, not just any ordinary girl.
Moreover, Qiao Jing had formidable combat power, so if she didn’t want it, it would be quite unlikely for Zhan Qipei to force anything on her.
“Then you’d better be careful and protect yourself well.”
Xu Moqian looked back three times with each step, “I’m leaving.”
“Am I really leaving?”
“Bang—” Qiao Jing closed the door.
“Truly heartless, worthy of being my Sister Jing.”
Qiao Jing returned to the room and said to Zhan Qipei lying on the bed, “Are you going to keep pretending?”
Zhan Qipei made no response.
Qiao Jing slightly raised her eyebrows, waited two seconds, then turned to leave.
“Qiao Jing!” Zhan Qipei finally called out her name.
Qiao Jing turned her head back to look at Zhan Qipei, “Not pretending anymore?”
At this, Zhan Qipei’s face displayed a wry smile.
This woman, he really couldn’t handle her whether he was gentle or aggressive; she truly left him no options.
“I wasn’t pretending. I really did drink too much,” he said while rubbing his temples.
Qiao Jing had also realized that Zhan Qipei really was drunk, but not as badly as he had made it seem.
As for the man acting that way, he probably did it for Xu Moqian to see.
There was another reason Qiao Jing hadn’t considered, which was that the man wanted to be physically close to her.
“Let’s not talk about this now. Have you guessed who that woman was?”
Zhan Qipei fell silent, trying to remember.
“She deliberately disguised herself as you… It seems she knows me very well, knows I can’t resist you, so she wanted to take advantage of me while I was drunk.”
Qiao Jing rolled her eyes silently at the man, wondering why the conversation had turned to involve her.
“I just thought of someone,” he said.
Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei faced each other, then spoke simultaneously.
The scene shifted, and Wu Xirui downed the red wine in his glass in one gulp.
“Tell Lan Yinyin she can go now.”
This Lan Yinyin, always more trouble than she’s worth, he had arranged everything so perfectly, and yet she still managed to mess up the mission. All those years raising her for nothing.
“Wait a minute,” Wu Xirui called to his assistant.
“Don’t let her go to her death just yet, it would be a waste after raising her for so many years. Send her to the entertainment club, make her the top socialite, and have her take good care of the business there for me.”
The wedding day of Lin Xiuxiang and Tang Yan was drawing nearer.
That day, the sun shone brightly, and the sky was cloudless.
Qiao Jing and Lin Xiuxiang had agreed to go shopping for some wedding necessities.
Suddenly, a harsh roar erupted from the surging crowd.
Qiao Jing stopped in her tracks when she heard the voice, and Lin Xiuxiang, who had her arm linked, stiffened as well.
Just by hearing the voice, the two of them could tell who it was, Qiao Licheng.
Today, after Qiao Jing finished buying gifts, she had accompanied Xiuxiang to the snack street to shop for food, not expecting to encounter Qiao Licheng.
Turning around, they saw Qiao Licheng was accompanied by Jhiang Cuifeng.
When Qiao Jing saw Qiao Licheng and Jhiang Cuifeng, her expression darkened and her delicate brows furrowed, watching as the two approached with aggressive strides.
She already suspected that their arrival meant they were going to cause a scene with her.
Lin Xiuxiang’s smile vanished upon seeing the two, and she protectively pulled Qiao Jing behind her, staring down Qiao Licheng and Jhiang Cuifeng.
A few seconds later, Qiao Licheng and Jhiang Cuifeng had approached them, having already calculated their agenda.
They definitely planned to extort something from Qiao Jing now that they had bumped into her!
“Qiao Jing, why didn’t you respond to Dad’s messages?” Qiao Licheng asked as he rubbed his hands, his scheming visible to Qiao Jing, though it left her cold inside.
Qiao Jing remained silent, recalling the daily messages from her father asking for money, which she never replied to; she eventually blocked Qiao Licheng’s number.
Yet even so, Qiao Licheng didn’t give up, persistently sending her messages from different numbers, claiming that the downfall of the Qiao Family was entirely Qiao Jing`s fault.
He never considered who had plotted against her, trying to push her into hell.
Seeing Qiao Jing’s cold demeanor, Qiao Licheng began to feel anxious.
“Qiao Jing, I’m your father, your real father! You can’t just ignore my calls and messages,” he pleaded.
Jhiang Cuifeng, with a hardened old face, also chimed in to fan the flames.
“Have you forgotten about me and your dad?”
The commotion attracted the attention of several passersby, who started to gather around.
“What messages should she reply to? Your daily demands for money from Qiao Jing?” Lin Xiuxiang retorted, visibly upset at the shameless demands of the two.
Hearing their conversation drawing a crowd, Qiao Licheng raised his voice, putting on a pitiful and sorrowful display.
“How can you say that! Isn’t it natural for a daughter to care for her parents? How can Qiao Jing ignore us?”
After addressing Xiuxiang, he turned to Qiao Jing.
“Xiao Jing, we may have wronged you in the past, but now our family is nearly starving. You can’t just leave us hanging! Plus, your grandma is suffering from a severe heart condition and needs money for treatment. You’re married well now, with more money than you can spend each month.
Please, I beg you to spare just a little, just a little, what you spend in a day would be enough for your grandma’s treatment.”
