Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Speak Nicely, Don’t Curse Me

Qiao Xi secretly glared at him.

Wang Wen saw them coming downstairs and quickly stood up, her face all smiles, "Have you two finished your talk?"

She thought this investment was in the bag and couldn’t help feeling happy.

Soon she would be able to drive Qiao Xi out of the house and not have to see her again!

Qiao Xi walked up to Wang Wen with irony on her face, "Auntie, you really should keep an eye on Qiao Nan."

It was as if the rose had finally revealed its thorns, ready to prick and draw blood at any moment.

"What do you mean?"

Qiao Xi’s eyes were frosty, "Thinking of getting between my sister and brother-in-law, not behaving herself, insisting on being the other woman."

"Auntie, did you teach her? Oh, maybe not. After all, you are her mother; she must have picked it up from you, right?"

Qiao Nan was going to explode with rage, but Shen Dang was still watching, and she couldn’t make a scene. Glancing at the man on the stairs, Wang Wen called out with feigned grievance, "Husband, did you hear what Xixi said? I consider myself not to have treated her poorly, but how can she speak of me in such a way? It really chills my heart!"

"Qiao Xi, is this the way you treat your elders?" Qiao Zhenbin’s steps down the stairs were filled with anger.

Qiao Xi turned around and sneered softly, but her words were surprisingly gentle, "Dad, I’m just really angry. You have no idea what Qiao Nan just said."

Qiao Zhenbin was startled and followed Qiao Xi’s lead, "What did your sister say?"

"She wanted to tell the Shen Family to divorce me and Shen Dang, and for her to marry Shen Dang in my stead. Who does she think she is? Isn’t this just making a laughingstock of our family? I never thought my sister would have such disgusting thoughts about my husband."

As the words fell, both Qiao Zhenbin and Wang Wen’s faces changed color.

It wasn’t just Qiao Nan; they actually harbored the same thoughts.

Wang Wen, seething with anger, pointed at Qiao Xi, "You... you better not talk nonsense!"

Qiao Xi chuckled, "Shen Dang is here, why don’t you ask him if I’m talking nonsense."

Shen Dang looked at Qiao Zhenbin, his eyes filled with cold intensity, "President Qiao, your two daughters are really worlds apart. It’s quite an eye-opener for me. Let alone marrying Qiao Xi, even if we divorced one day, your second daughter wouldn’t stand a chance. What do you think I am, a stray cat or dog? Does the Qiao Family still want to meddle in my marriage?"

The sneer on Shen Dang’s face spoke two words—Dream on!

He had agreed to marry Qiao Xi as an exception to begin with.

Qiao Nan, hearing this upstairs, collapsed to the ground, drained of strength.

It was over, everything was over!

Shen Dang slipped back into his usual nonchalance, "Wife, let’s go home. If you don’t like it, we won’t come again next time."

"Let’s go."

Shen Dang wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

Qiao Xi felt the warmth on her shoulder but did not shrug off his hand.

Qiao Xi hadn’t wanted to reveal all this in front of Shen Dang, but thinking that Shen Dang might invest in Qiao Zhenbin made her uneasy.

The better things went for Qiao Zhenbin and Wang Wen, the more agonized she felt.

It was like placing her heart on a fire to roast. Recalling how her mother took her last breath in front of her, she felt immense pain, unbearable pain.

The sound of a car engine rang out outside, and Wang Wen, observing Qiao Zhenbin’s dark expression, cautiously asked, "Husband, did Ah Dang agree to invest?"

"No!"

Not only did he not invest, he even wanted to take over his project.

Qiao Zhenbin was very angry, very angry, but he was powerless against him.

"Ah? So what do we do now?"

"How would I know what to do!"

"Husband, do you think it’s because Xixi said something to Ah Dang? Looking at it now, their relationship seems very close. You have such a good project in your hands, and if Ah Dang is unwilling to invest, there must be only this reason."

Saying this, Wang Wen sighed, "When her mother died, she was old enough to understand things. Although we haven’t done anything, I’m afraid she holds a grudge against us."

Even if the truth wasn’t that, she couldn’t let Qiao Xi have it easy!

Yes...

Qiao Zhenbin’s expression darkened further, thinking of how Qiao Xi cried so hard she fainted when her mother died in a car accident. After the funeral, she became cold to him, her father. It was possible she knew something.

But he had concealed it so well, how could she know?

And yet, how could Qiao Xi not know?

In the car, Qiao Xi stared blankly at the meandering street lights ahead.

After a while, she found the car a bit stuffy and rolled down the window.

A hot breeze squeezed in through the open window, blowing her hair about. A few strands stuck to her pale face. Even in disarray, she was startlingly beautiful.

Despite the comfortable atmosphere, Qiao Xi’s mood was somewhat heavy.

The solidified silence caused Shen Dang to glance at her, his dark eyes impacted for a moment.

Qiao Xi’s black hair and pale complexion formed a stark and intense contrast, making her look both delicate and cold.

Shen Dang’s gaze flickered slightly, "Still angry about what just happened?"

Qiao Xi reached her hand out of the window, feeling the wind flow through her fingers, her irritation easing a bit, "Not at all."

The carefree wind could heal a messy heart; indeed, venting was the best way to a good mood!

Shen Dang frowned, "Bring your hand back in, it’s not safe."

"It’s fine," Qiao Xi turned to him with a smile.

Shen Dang caught that smile, unlike any of her usual ones.

Three parts petulance, three parts naivety, with a hint of ease.

The weight on her seemed to lift with the wind.

Shen Dang’s Adam’s apple bobbed suddenly, the dark pools in his eyes roiling with depth.

"Don’t stick your hand out too much. I’m worried you’ll get hurt and blame me."

Qiao Xi felt whatever he said wouldn’t be good.

"Speak nicely! Don’t jinx me."

Shen Dang seemed to chuckle, "Then pull your hand back in. I’m about to close the window. People won’t know who you’re waving at."

Qiao Xi was speechless.

But still, she retracted her hand.

Shen Dang locked the window tight, worried she’d reach out again.

"You seem to really dislike your sister?"

"Isn’t that something everyone knows?"

She didn’t want to say too much.

As for the daughter of the other woman, she couldn’t bring herself to like her.

Although it wasn’t her business what the adults did, she was Wang Wen’s daughter – the woman who had hurt her mother.

And ever since she was little, Qiao Nan hadn’t stopped making life difficult for her, but she had endured it all.

The traffic light ahead turned red, Shen Dang stopped the car, then suddenly leaned toward Qiao Xi, his gaze landing on her eyelashes, "You seem pretty angry still."

Such long lashes, Eyelash Fairy.

Qiao Xi looked up, the streetlight’s glow casting shadows from her lashes, "Shen Dang!"

She had calmed down, and now she was annoyed again!

Why bring it up?

"Hmm?"

"Don’t talk. I want some quiet."

Oh boy.

She was still angry.

Shen Dang’s arm rested on the car’s armrest, his voice low, almost beguiling, "How about I tell you something to cheer you up?"

Qiao Xi glanced at him lazily, "What is it?"

It’d better be something that’d genuinely cheer her up.

"I didn’t invest in President Qiao’s plan."

Qiao Xi’s eyes lit up suddenly, "Really?"
