Inside Jingxian Building’s private room.
Gu Yanjing watched Qiao Yuxian, saying nothing, his expression cold and unreadable.
Gu Linhai saw Dong Qian being beaten to the point where he couldn’t speak, blood dripping from his head, and his calm demeanor was tinged with a bit of panic and urgency.
But with Gu Yanjing there, it was his wife; he wouldn’t speak or act, and as the second uncle, Gu Linhai couldn’t step forward, only watching Dong Qian getting hit.
He remained relatively calm, but his son, Gu Yicheng, standing beside him, was dumbfounded.
He watched in disbelief as Qiao Yuxian’s small clenched fists beat a man over six feet tall into a bloody mess, leaving him powerless to fight back.
Even dragging or pulling him around as she wished.
It completely overturned the image he had of her in his mind.
Even Meng Yan was shocked on the sidelines.
On one hand, shocked by the usually gentle lady, and on the other hand, terrified by Gu Yanjing’s oppressive presence.
"Are you from Qiao Zhiang’s family?" Dong Qian asked her.
Qiao Yuxian didn’t respond, silently confirming.
Dong Qian suddenly let out a scornful laugh: "Qiao Family, Qiao Family. Just wait to collect corpses for your entire family. You’ll send them off one by one, and soon it’ll be your turn."
Qiao Yuxian also let out a light laugh, then her expression hardened, grabbing his neck: "Then I’ll send you off first."
Her hand suddenly exerted force, appearing to truly be aiming for his life.
Dong Qian couldn’t breathe, his face quickly turned purple, and blood streaks appeared in his eyes. He tried to pry her hand away, but his strength gradually waned.
Finally, he could only helplessly look towards Gu Linhai.
Gu Linhai didn’t expect Qiao Yuxian to be serious, and seeing Dong Qian actually losing breath, he hurriedly looked towards Gu Yanjing: "Yanjing."
Gu Yanjing still didn’t respond to him, just watching Qiao Yuxian. A few seconds later, Dong Qian’s eyes started rolling back, seemingly on the verge of passing out.
Only then did he take action, walking to Qiao Yuxian’s side and grasping her hand.
He felt the warmth on her wrist.
Qiao Yuxian’s cold eyes flickered, and she turned her head to look at Gu Yanjing.
At the moment their eyes met, Qiao Yuxian snapped back to reality, the numb coldness in her eyes gradually replaced by some expression.
Gu Yanjing looked at her, then slightly tightened his grip on her wrist.
Qiao Yuxian instinctively let go, and Dong Qian fell from her grasp onto the floor, clutching his throat for air.
Gu Linhai quickly came over, helping him up to catch his breath.
Gu Yanjing pulled Qiao Yuxian aside a few steps, looking at her hand and asked: "What happened at home?"
Qiao Yuxian lowered her gaze, looking at his hand, but before she could speak, the door to the room suddenly slammed open from the outside.
Gu Yicheng was so startled he nearly jumped.
Everyone in the room looked towards the door and soon Qiao Yu appeared in everyone’s sight.
He wore only a white shirt, the collar unbuttoned, sleeves rolled up.
His usually well-kept hair had fallen down, scattered at the corners of his forehead.
Sweat beaded on his forehead, and his glasses had been removed.
His features were sharp to begin with, his eyes carrying a keen sense. Without glasses, the hint of stability and elegance vanished.
Leaving only a full body of spikes and hostility.
The shirt on him was wrinkled, evidently having been engaged in a fight outside.
It was the first time Qiao Yuxian saw her father , and she couldn’t help but pause for a moment. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NoveIꜰire.net
Qiao Yu entered with an aura of aggression, surveyed the people inside, and finally his gaze fell on Qiao Yuxian: "Yu Xian?"
"Dad." Qiao Yuxian walked to his side, "Are you okay?"
"You are..." Qiao Yu’s expression was a bit surprised, he saw Qiao Yuxian entering the hospital when he was at the hospital entrance.
But he was afraid Qiao Yuxian would stop him, so he hadn’t called out to her and drove away straight away.
Didn’t expect to see her here again after just seeing her at the hospital not long ago.
Qiao Yu’s mind worked out a rough idea of the situation: "Are you okay?"
"I’m fine." Qiao Yuxian glanced at Dong Qian, who just managed to catch a breath.
Qiao Yu also followed her gaze to look over.
Just as Gu Linhai let go of Dong Qian and stood up.
Qiao Yu had seen Gu Linhai on interviews, knew who he was, knew his relationship with Gu Yanjing, and also knew from interviews that he had a fine relationship with Gu Yanjing.
Rumors say Gu Yanjing is an orphan, and this second uncle played the role of a father. Gu Yanjing respects him greatly, treating him as a father.
And from the current situation, it seems this Gu Linhai has more than an ordinary relationship with Dong Qian.
