As the head of the family, Qiao Fangfengâs aura was still quite strong.
Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, Xie Yun and the Qiao siblings didnât even dare to breathe loudly after he coughed once.
âUncle, the Doctor said that your body hasnât fully recovered yet. You should drink more water.â
Qiao Yuanxiâs jealous gaze was ignored by Qiao Yuanfei. She took a cup of hot water from the coffee table and brought it to Qiao Fangfeng.
Qiao Fangfeng took the cup of hot water and took a sip. He held her hand and asked her to sit down and talk.
âAre all the injuries on your body healed?âQiao Fangfeng asked with concern.
There was no need for him to say it out loud. Everyone present knew that he was asking about the video of Qiao Yuanyuan beating Qiao Yuanyuan up.
âItâs fine.â
Qiao Yuanxi grumbled unhappily as soon as Qiao Yuanyuan spoke.
âDad, you only asked her, not me? I was beaten up by her and was hospitalized for a week. The doctor even said that my concussion wasnât light...â
Qiao Yuanxi was about to play the victim when Qiao Fangfeng glared at her and his expression darkened.
He lectured her.
âHavenât you caused enough trouble? Youâre arrogant, domineering, and willful. Usually, feifei is already giving way to you. Even if she really hit you, you must have done something overboard!â
â...â
Qiao Yuanxi was choked speechless.
He didnât dare to admit that he was the one who tore up the photos of the Qiao couple first.
After all, they were Qiao Fangfengâs biological older brother and sister-in-law.
He sat down awkwardly.
His eyes were red with grievance.
Although Xie Yun was unwilling, he could only endure it when he thought of the bigger picture.
As for Qiao Yuanchuan, he didnât like Qiao Yuanxi to be too unruly.
Now that he had been exposed by the reporters, who could he blame?
The living room was quiet. No one dared to speak.
Qiao Fangfeng nodded his head in relief when he heard Qiao Yuanfei say that she was fine.
âYouâve suffered during the period when I was sick. I heard that not only did you have to take care of me at the hospital, you even went around looking for medicine for me. If not for your filial piety, Iâm afraid I wouldnât have woken up... Itâs just that...â
Qiao Fangfeng raised his head to look at his disappointing wife and children and sighed.
âI didnât want to force you to forgive Xixi. She was spoiled and should be taught a lesson. But now that the media is holding onto this matter, it has seriously affected the Qiao Corporationâs stock price. Uncle has a presumptuous request, I hope you can agree to it.â
â...â
Qiao Yuanfei sat quietly on the sofa and did not immediately respond.
She lowered her eyes and stared at her phone.
In her mind, the cold gaze of fan yu before he left suddenly flashed past.
Did He... dislike the way she was good at scheming?
Qiao Yuanfei was a little dazed. Very quickly, she narrowed her eyes.
âUncle, if you have something to say, just say it.â
âAlright, since youâre so straightforward, I wonât beat around the bush with you. I know that youâve been wronged in this matter, but for the sake of the big picture, I still hope that you can come out personally and clarify to the reporters that the video was just a misunderstanding. Xi Xi didnât really want to hit you, but it was just a game between two young people.â
Qiao Fangfeng paused, took a deep breath and continued.
âAs for the Qiao familyâs abuse of you, itâs all a lie. For so many years, Iâve always treated you as my own daughter. You should be clear that itâs best for you to personally explain and stop these rumors. As for the other negative news, the public relations department will naturally handle it.â
