Chapter 656: Chapter 656 Threat Chapter 656: Chapter 656 Threat After a pause, he continued, “Write down everything that happened today in detail, sign it, and stamp your fingerprint on it. Make up for anything that’s missing, and that will be the end of it. Otherwise, we’ll see each other at the police station.”
Wei Zixiong knew he had been too impulsive yesterday, thinking that Xueling was deliberately picking a fight. He hadn’t expected his younger daughter to dare play dirty, which made him resent her now.
Wei Hongyan didn’t want to write, but when she looked up and saw her second brother glaring at her and her father with a displeased expression, she dared not cause any more trouble and took pen and paper to write down the cause and effect.
After Ning Hongda checked and found no issues, he had her sign and stamp her fingerprint, then had Wei Zixiong do the same.
Ning Hongbo, who had remained silent up until now, stepped up to Wei Zixiong, “Don’t forget Xueling has five other children. Even if they don’t like their mother, if you dare really hurt her, they won’t let you off.”
The two brothers made their threats and then left with the Ning Family.
Once everyone had left, Wei Zixiong turned and slapped his younger daughter, “Have I been too nice to you, huh? Stealing money is bad enough, but framing your second brother takes the cake. You’ve turned this into a laughing stock and given the Ning Family a handle on us. Are you comfortable now? Do you no longer care about your reputation? Do your brothers no longer care about their reputations?”
Wei Zixiong was aware that his eldest son was currently courting someone. If his prospective partner found out there was such a troublesome younger aunt in the family, whether the relationship could continue was really up in the air.

Xu Yuqing was washing the courtyard. Upon seeing Luo Qiao, she smiled, “Qiaoqiao, you’re back.”
Luo Qiao walked in, “Why are you washing the courtyard?”
Xu Yuqing smiled, “It’s been quite hot these days. Washing the courtyard helps cool it down a bit.”
Xu Yuqing went to the well at the back to fetch a watermelon she had chilled, “Qiaoqiao, do you want to look over the accounts for the past six months now?”
Luo Qiao nodded, “Sure, let’s see how much funds we have.”
Xu Yuqing brought over the account books, “Qiaoqiao, I’ve cleared out your room. You’re going to live here when school starts, right?”
Luo Qiao flipped through the account book, murmuring ‘Mhmm’ softly as she smiled unconsciously at the profit each section generated.
It didn’t take Luo Qiao long to go through the account book, when she suddenly asked, “Sister Xu, How far have you gotten with Little Uncle Yuan now?”
Xu Yuqing hadn’t expected Luo Qiao to ask about that out of the blue. Plus, the titles ‘sister’ and ‘uncle’ made her laugh involuntarily, “It sounds so awkward.”
Luo Qiao said, “It won’t be awkward once you marry Little Uncle Yuan and I start calling you Little Auntie.”
Xu Yuqing’s face turned red, “What nonsense are you talking about? Who’s going to be your Little Auntie?”
Luo Qiao pushed the account book aside, “It seems Little Uncle Yuan isn’t trying hard enough. He hasn’t managed to woo anyone in such a long time.”
Xu Yuqing suddenly remembered something, “The last time you asked me to deliver something to him, you did it on purpose.”
Luo Qiao burst into laughter, “You’re just realizing that now?”
Following that, the two of them started playing a game of chase in the courtyard. When Shifan came in from outside, he saw them running around, “What are you two up to?”
Luo Qiao quickly said, “Stop, stop, stop, no more playing. I have serious matters to discuss with Brother Xu.”
Xu Yuqing, too tired to run anymore, felt a warm feeling in her heart. She knew Luo Qiao wouldn’t harm her, and indeed, she and Wei Cheng had confirmed their relationship.
They were planning to formally introduce her to the family when he had a holiday coming up, and then discuss their marriage, which she had been looking for an opportunity to mention to Luo Qiao.
Luo Qiao picked up the teapot from the stone table and poured herself a cup, “Brother Xu, has the trademark come out yet?”
Shifan took out two samples from his bag, “These are what they’ve made. Which one do you think is better?”
Luo Qiao took them and examined carefully, “I think we should go with this oval one; it looks prettier.”
Shifan took back the trademark, “Alright, I’ll sign the contract this afternoon and have them start mass production.”
Luo Qiao nodded, “That works.”
