Biên tập viên: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows and followed Qiao Yue into the kitchen. There was a chef and two servants inside.

Qiao Yue didn't say much and bluffed. With Qiao Yu supporting her, the servant who saw Qiao Xin put something in the tea quickly confessed.

When Qiao Yu heard the servant's confession, his face darkened visibly.

"You're saying that Qiao Xin put dirty dish water in there? She even spat in the tea?" Qiao Yu's fake gentle expression disappeared as he confirmed with the servant again with a cold face.

Ever since Qiao Yue discovered Qiao Yu's hidden side, Qiao Yu no longer put on an act in front of her. However, Qiao Yu was still as gentle and elegant to the others, so the servant was even more afraid when he sensed Qiao Yu's anger.

The servant trembled and lowered his head. If not for his stiff limbs, he would have knelt on the ground.

Meanwhile, the butler saw Qiao Yue and Qiao Yu from the kitchen entrance. He quickly walked in and said, "Fifth young master, second young master would like to see you."

Qiao Yue glanced at the butler's expression, then turned to Qiao Yu and asked, "Fourth brother, do you want to come with me?"

"No, I'll go find Qiao Xin."

Qiao Yue's lips curved into a smile. "Maybe Qiao Xin is already with second brother now."

"What?"

Before Qiao Yu could figure out what was going on, the butler glanced keenly at Qiao Yue. He felt that the fifth young master was no fool. He hadn't even mentioned anything, and fifth young master had figured out that Miss Qiao Xin had already filed a complaint.

Qiao Yue didn't only guess that Qiao Xin would file a complaint, but she would also drag her mother along to complain as well. It wasn't that she could predict the future, but the process had always been the same the past few times.

Qiao Xin was humiliated by her. She would complain to her mother and then her mother would find a person with authority in the Qiao family to suppress her.

"Fourth brother, shall we go together?" Qiao Yue extended the invitation to Qiao Yu again.

Qiao Yu and Qiao Jing were not close, and the way Qiao Jing looked at Qiao Yu sometimes gave him the illusion that he had been seen through.

Just as Qiao Yu was hesitating, Qiao Yue walked up to him and whispered, "Fourth brother, there's going to be a show! Still don't want to go?"

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

In Qiao Jing's study...

Qiao Yue and Qiao Yu had just followed the butler to the fourth floor when they heard a woman crying.

Qiao Yue hadn't met everyone at the Qiao residence in the past few days, but she was very familiar with Qiao Xin's crying.

Qiao Yu gave Qiao Yue a look that said "you are up", and then braced himself to watch the show.

"Third aunt, we still need to hear Qiao Yue's explanation."

Qiao Yue had just reached the door when he heard Qiao Jing's cold voice.

"Hear his explanation? Xiao Jing! Your sister is already being bullied so badly and you still want to hear him out? We're your real family who have lived together for so many years! Are you only going to send Qiao Yue away after he sued your sister?"

"Third aunt, I was the one who brought Qiao Yue home."

Qiao Jing's words were loud and clear. Since he was the one who brought Qiao Yue home, how could he send him away?

The third madam of the Qiao family was at a loss for words. She took a deep breath and said, "Does that mean that you'll be responsible for Qiao Yue?"

"Yes, he's one of my people."

Qiao Yue and Qiao Yu's eyes widened at the same time when they heard this. Qiao Yue frowned deeply while Qiao Yu looked at Qiao her confused eyes.

Qiao Xin sobbed, "Second brother, how can you do this? I'm your sister! We've lived together for such a long time! That Qiao Yue is just an outsider! Not only did he bully me at school, but he also threatened to sue me. I apologized to him for what happened before, but he made me drink tea that had spit in it. Why are you still helping him when he's like this?"

"Xiao Jing, since you said that you'll be responsible for Qiao Yue, what should we do about Xin'er? You have to do something. I won't let my child be bullied like this even if this gets to Grandpa Qiao."

Qiao Yue stood outside the door and sneered. Qiao Xin and her mother really complemented each other, one acting pitiful while the other threatened. They had such good chemistry!

Before Qiao Jing could speak, Qiao Yue said disdainfully, "Sure, let's go and see Grandpa! Let's each present our evidence and let Grandpa judge."

She hadn't seen her grandfather in the four days she had been here, so this was a good opportunity to meet him.

"Qiao Yue, come here."

Hearing Qiao Yue's confidence, Qiao Jing's voice became gentler.

Qiao Yue obediently walked over to Qiao Jing and said, "Third Madam Qiao, aren't you tired of finding ways to smear me every day?"

Qiao Xin's mother was furious when she saw the ridicule in Qiao Yue's eyes. Although the servants had said that she had a good temper, who knew if it's true?

The third madam of the Qiao family couldn't pretend to be a Buddha anymore when she thought about how Qiao Yue bullied her daughter. She rushed to Qiao Yue's side and raised her hand to slap Qiao Yue.
