They came to attend the banquet today because they wanted Qiao Rou to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with the eldest miss of Fragrance Hotel, yet Qiao Xi had ruined this opportunity!
The entire venue was silent.
At this moment, Qiao Rouâs eyes were filled with tears. âDad, since Sister doesnât welcome us, Iâll take Mom and weâll leave the family!â
Qiao Zhenguo looked at his daughter who had been wronged and was instantly infuriated. âQiao Xi! You edited this video! Are you going to force your sister and stepmother to die? Youâre really vicious!
âYou scourge! Youâre a jinx! Why canât you be as sensible and gentle as your younger sister? Get out of the Qiao family immediately!â
âPresident Qiao.â
Suddenly, Qin An said with a sneer, âIâve been listening for a long time. Why are you getting more and more confused?â
He slowly walked in front of Qiao Zhenguo and said in a cold tone, âIt seems that Qiao Xi was framed. Why did you ask her to swallow her anger? And why are you scolding her so fiercely?â
âPresident Qin, donât blame my dad. Heâs justâ¦â Qiao Rou explained hurriedly. Her eyes were red and she looked very aggrieved.
Qin An waved his hand. âMiss Qiao Rou, Iâm not talking to you. Please shut up, but what you just said makes sense.â
Qiao Rou was originally disappointed. However, when she heard the last sentence, her eyes lit up.
Qin An was affirming her words. From the looks of it, there was a chance. Had he taken a liking to her?
Qiao Rou showed a shy expression. âPresident Qin, actually, Iâ¦â
âYou said that you should leave the Qiao family with Xu Mei immediately. That makes sense, so I think itâs a good idea.â
Qin An said slowly, âXu Mei is a mistress who destroyed someone elseâs family. You have also inherited my motherâs bad habit. You stole someone elseâs boyfriend. You should indeed get lost.â
Qiao Rouâs lips were pale as her body trembled. Her face was filled with disbelief.
Qiao Zhenguo hurriedly explained, âPresident Qin, Xu Mei was framed. Qiao Rou only said that for the sake of her health. They shouldnât be the ones leaving. Theyâre too gentle and kind-heartedâ¦
âQiao Xi is putting painstaking efforts to chase them away. This is all her fault and has nothing to do with Xu Mei and her daughter!â
Qiao Zhenguo was making things worse. Everyone looked at him suspiciously.
Qiao Xi crossed her arms. âDad, do you really think so? So it turns out that Iâm such a person in your eyes!â
âTraitor! How dare you lie about the truth?! Shut up! Go home-â
Qiao Zhenguo was still roaring angrily, but before he could finish, Qin An interrupted him.
âPresident Qiao, I think itâs necessary for me to tell you that I was the one who gave the video to Qiao Xi.â
â¦
Qiao Zhenguo instantly choked, and his face turned livid.
His eyes were filled with shock, and his entire body was trembling. It was as if he had been struck by lightning.
âPresident Qin, you⦠Impossibleâ¦â
âWhy? Are you saying that I lied?â Qin An raised his eyebrows. âIf you donât believe me, we can call the police. I believe someone can prove that the video is real.â
âImpossible! This⦠It must be fakeâ¦â The corners of Qiao Zhenguoâs mouth twitched as he stammered, âXu Mei is gentle and kind. She, sheâ¦â
âDo you mean to say that you donât believe in President Qin? If Second Young Master Gu and the other two hadnât appeared, my life wouldâve been ruined. You didnât say anything to stand up for me but were helping Xu Mei escape punishment. Could it be that you were also involved in the framing this time? You wanted to ruin your own daughter?â
Qiao Xiâs words made Qiao Zhenguoâs face grow paler and paler when he heard them.
He never expected that Qiao Xi would be able to say such words, and he was instantly infuriated to the point of stomping his feet. âBastard! Shut up! You still dare to slander me? Youâre as heartless as that damned mother of yours!â
Qiao Xiâs gaze turned cold.
Qiao Zhenguo was infuriated and said without thinking, âThis matter ends here. Donât pursue the matter anymore, otherwiseâ¦â
âPresident Qiao, are you threatening me?â Qin Anâs eyes were deep.
Qiao Zhenguo instantly choked and swallowed the words in his mouth. The next second, a cold weapon appeared above his head with the muzzle of the pistol pressed against his forehead.
Everyone screamed in shock and fled in all directions.
Qiao Zhenguo was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. âP-President Qinâ¦â
âPresident Qiao, why donât you repeat what you just said?â Qin Anâs voice was low.
