The moment she picked up, she heard Qiao Ziwen’s furious voice, “You two, get the f!ck over here right now!”

At the same time, Gao Meng was on his way home while whistling.
All of a sudden, his vision went dark and a sack was pulled over his head.
“Who’s there?! Who is it?!”
As he shouted with much panic, punches and kicks landed on him.
Gao Meng was screaming from being hit. Like a half beaten dog, he rolled around on the ground in the sack back and forth.
Only until his screaming dialed down and blood was seen on the sack, did the group of bodyguards stop. They then removed the sack.
The first thing Gao Meng saw when he gained his sight back was a demonic face. Instantly, he nudged backward from fear, “Jun... Jun...”
“Now you know to be scared?” Jun Yexuan’s beautiful fingers played with a shiny blade he was holding, “You dare to set your eyes on my girl. You sure are gutsy.”
“No, no, no... No... it’s Qiao Nian... she asked me to...” Gao Meng planned on disconnecting himself from the situation. But when he saw Jun Yexuan’s cold expression, he changed his mind.
“I was wrong! I never should’ve fantasized about Qiao Qing! I’m a toad and I shouldn’t even dream of being with a swan! I won’t ever dare to do it again! Please, third young master, spare my life!”
“I can spare your life. But you need to remember and learn what thoughts you are allowed to have, and what you’re not.”
Just then, Jun Yexuan jabbed his blade, landing it accurately at the spot between Gao Meng’s legs.
Gao Meng instantly screamed, then passed out.
Inside the east house at the Qiao manor.
The living room was in disarray. Qiao Ziwen had smashed everything there was to smash. With a shaking hand, he pointed at Qin Yongmei, “Take a look at the daughter you raised! You two have lost all my face!”
Qiao Nian tugged at the bottom of his trousers, “Dad! Listen to me! It’s Qiao Qing! She set me up! You need to stand up for me!”
Qiao Ziwen kicked her away, “You have the audacity to blame Qingqing?! You think I don’t think what you think about every day?!”
“So you are jealous. However, I never thought you dared to pull something like this! It looks like you allowed yourself to do all sorts of unethical and evil things!”
“Karma has caught up to you but that’s not even enough to stop you! You want me to stand up for you? How!? You think I can stand up against third young master Jun?!”
Qin Yongmei chimed in, “Even if you don’t want to stand up for her, you can’t just leave her be. She’s your daughter! The news is still spreading. You want the entire City to view her as a joke?!”
Qiao Ziwen pressed down on his furrowed brows. He looked over to Qiao Nian, “The City of Brisk is no longer a good place for you to stay. I’ll do the paperwork. I’ll send you out of this country in a few months.”
Qin Yongmei and Qiao Nian freaked out. Qin Yongmei shouted, “You’re sending her on exile?!”
Qiao Ziwen answered, “The news is out. She’s now the laughing stock of the City of Brisk. If we sent her away for a few years, maybe everyone will forget about this. Even if she stays here, she won’t be able to live with her head held high!”
“That’s just an excuse! To save your own face, you don’t even want your daughter anymore?! I don’t care. I’m going to beg third young master Jun!”
Qin Yongmei then stood up and headed to the west house.
Jun Yexuan had just arrived and was reading the morning newspaper on the couch. Then, his eyes narrowed.
Qin Yongmei jogged her way over and was breathing heavily, “Third young master Jun, please spare your generosity and let Niannian off the hook! Niannian knows what she did was wrong! I’m here to apologize to you on her behalf!”
Jun Yexuan slammed the newspaper on the floor, “Apologize to me?”
Qin Yongmei’s heart skipped a beat. A good idea came to her and she headed to Qiao Qing on the other side of the room.
“Qingqing, Niannian was momentarily possessed. That’s why she did something wrong. Plus, nothing happened to you and she was the one who ended up getting hurt. Please beg third young master Jun on my behalf and ask him to take down the news articles. Please? Auntie is begging you!”
