Chapter 444: Chapter 444_1 Chapter 444: Chapter 444_1 “She really does talk nonsense, doesn’t she? This woman’s skin is indeed thicker than a city wall, and she even still refuses to admit her guilt.” Shangguan Ye sneered coldly, but heard Lu Qian casually comment, “It’s said that a dead pig doesn’t fear scalding water. Since she is so cocky, we don’t have to be polite to her.”
Looking at Qiao Anchu sobbing uncontrollably, the old master of the Qiao Family was really fed up.
“Aren’t you going to come in?”
At the old master’s command, two people in ragged clothes tumbled in, their faces were grimy, and they hadn’t bathed in days. Qiao Anchu took a look, wasn’t this Li Qiang and his wife?
Ever since their failed extortion attempt on Qiao Xiaren, Li Qiang and his wife suffered a streak of bad luck. They were evicted from their little house for violating the lease, and didn’t even get their rent money back.
What was even worse, on the day they were evicted, they were inexplicably beaten up by a group of people, almost crippling both their legs. They spent a few days recuperating in a beggar’s shelter, only to have to hobble around begging on the street.
The couple had no relatives in the Capital, and with no one to rely on or stand up for them, they were penniless and forced into a vagabond lifestyle.
Only then did they realize that the Capital was not such an easy place to get by. The rich could live lavishly, while the poor could only shrink back in the dark corners like a dog.
Seeing the newcomers, Qiao Anchu was shocked and wanted to step forward but was firmly held down by several black-clothed bodyguards. She never expected that the old master could find Li Cuihua and Li Qiang so quickly!
However, what could finding them accomplish? Li Cuihua and Li Qiang were her allies and would absolutely not betray their biological daughter! With that thought, Qiao Anchu felt somewhat relieved.
“Quickly tell the old master the truth, confirm that I am the true heiress of the Qiao Family!” As Qiao Anchu’s frantic words echoed in the hall, Li Qiang and his wife looked up.
Li Cuihua looked at her with full eyes of resentment and knelt in front of the old master, “Master, please spare us. We really didn’t know things would turn out ! This person is indeed not the Qiao Family’s heiress, we just swapped a baby, please let us live.”
“Shut up, what are you talking nonsense? I am the heiress of the Qiao Family, I am…” Qiao Anchu’s hysteria increased and the atmosphere in the hall became heavy.
Li Qiang suddenly looked at her angrily, “You shameless creature, still trying to argue in front of the old master? Initially, your mother and I were blinded by wealth, that’s why we brought you into the Qiao Family! You are so ungrateful, even going as far as to have someone break my leg! Back then, I shouldn’t have sent you, this jinx, away. Now, you’ve made my life miserable!”
“You’re lying, you’re lying…”
Qiao Anchu’s face stiffened. It was too late to stop them. She didn’t dare to look at the expressions of the people around her.
This woman is really something, she even has the audacity to let her own parents suffer . If she is really the Qiao Family’s heiress, can the Qiao Family ever be at peace?
Uncle Wu kept a stoic face, raising his foot and kicking Qiao Anchu in the stomach again.
Qiao Anchu screamed, and once again fell flat onto the floor. Everyone just watched her coldly. The servants who used to flatter her were now silently watching her.
Qiao Anchu trembled on the ground, experiencing the feeling of deep despair for the first time.
