Chapter 179: Chapter 160 Opposite Sides
Qiao Yuxian quickly checked Qiao Yu’s location.
Qiao Yu was still on the road, but it wasn’t clear where he was headed.
Qiao Yuxian then quickly checked Dong Qian’s residence.
Qiao Yu wasn’t headed toward his house.
She checked where Dong Qian was now.
He was at Jingxian Building.
Qiao Yu’s route was also heading toward Jingxian Building.
Qiao Yuxian put away her phone and looked at Qiao Lech, saying, "You and Zhi Ang keep an eye on Auntie. I’m going to find Dad."
"Sis, should we call the police?" Qiao Lech grabbed her, somewhat agitated and said, "It’s too dangerous. They beat mom like this; will dad get hurt too?"
Qiao Yuxian patted her hand: "It’s okay. Don’t worry."
Qiao Lech didn’t let go: "Why not, why not tell brother-in-law first."
"Le Chu, don’t worry." Qiao Yuxian touched her head, "I know what I’m doing."
Qiao Lech finally let go and said, "Then be careful."
"Mm."
Qiao Yuxian left quickly.
She found the best route with the least traffic to Jingxian Building.
When Qiao Yu was stuck in traffic, Qiao Yuxian crossed a street.
When she arrived at Jingxian Building, Qiao Yu had just been inside for five minutes.
Only people of significant status could enter Jingxian Building; it’s not a place you can easily come and go.
Entry and exit were all real-name registered.
Qiao Yu spent a lot to book a small private room, saying someone would come shortly.
Qiao Yuxian figured he’d use this method, and directly gave Qiao Yu’s name to the front desk. The clerk checked, asked about her relationship with Qiao Yu, and seeing they looked alike, quickly had someone lead her to the room.
At the private room door, Qiao Yuxian let the attendant leave first.
She pushed the door open, expecting Qiao Yu not to be inside.
He went to find Dong Qian.
Qiao Yuxian turned around and avoided people, heading upstairs.
Jingxian Building was very big; even though there weren’t many people, even though Qiao Yu could guess which floor Dong Qian would be on, he still took a while to avoid corridor attendants and security.
Qiao Yuxian was different.
She accurately determined Dong Qian’s location and went straight there.
Qiao Lech thought she came to stop Qiao Yu,
but of course not.
Beating her family into the hospital and wanting to eat and drink here, live happily? It won’t be that easy.
She came to beat him before her dad could.
Outside the private room were all bodyguards, as soon as Qiao Yuxian got close, they immediately looked over.
She didn’t stop and walked straight over.
The farthest bodyguard, seeing her approach continuously, quickly stepped forward, raised a hand to stop her: "Miss, what’s your business?"
As soon as he spoke, Qiao Yuxian saw Meng Yan quickly approaching her.
"Madam?" Meng Yan called out while pushing the bodyguard aside, "Coming to find Mr. Gu?"
Qiao Yuxian’s expression was somewhat cold, but she smiled with a slight eyebrow raise: "Is Gu Yanjing inside?"
Meng Yan saw her expression and a bad premonition struck him. From TV dramas, he knew wives with such looks were catching their husbands cheating.
Could it be... a misunderstanding?
As a drama enthusiast, Meng Yan quickly imagined a scene of misunderstanding, unresolved misunderstandings, and eventual reconciliation like he’d seen.
While imagining, he replied: "Yes."
"How about Dong Qian?" Qiao Yuxian asked again.
Meng Yan’s imagined scenario turned to foam: "He’s here too."
Qiao Yuxian nodded, walking toward the private room door.
Because Meng Yan knew her and called her Madam, none of the others stopped her.
Qiao Yuxian pushed the door open, walked a bit inside, and saw the people in the room.
Meng Yan followed closely behind her, and upon entering, closed the door to block outside sounds.
Perhaps Gu Yanjing’s presence was too hard to ignore that Qiao Yuxian first noticed him.
The dishes hadn’t been served yet, a few people were sitting and drinking.
Seeing someone come in, everyone looked at her.
Gu Yanjing thought it was a waiter initially, casually glanced, only seeing her leg, recognized her, and then raised his head.
At a glance, he sensed she was angry.
Gu Yanjing stood up as Qiao Yuxian’s gaze moved from him to his companions.
His uncle Gu Linhai and cousin Gu Yicheng were present, alongside someone she didn’t recognize.
All three looked at her.
Gu Yicheng was frozen in her gaze, while Gu Linhai appeared unchanged, showing no emotion.
Qiao Yuxian’s gaze went over them without pause, or speaking, directly moving toward the unrecognized man.
Gu Yanjing just stood by her side as she walked to Dong Qian.
Gu Yanjing did not move, watching her.
No one spoke; Dong Qian stared at her, not understanding.
He couldn’t discern her relationship with Gu Yanjing.
Mr. Gu, standing by and she didn’t acknowledge, even moved closer to him.
It seemed coincidental, Mr. Gu happened to be there.
His confusion, especially when she stood before him.
He didn’t understand why this pretty stranger appeared, or why she suddenly approached him.
Because he was meeting Gu Yanjing, he specifically ordered no women or trivial distractions.
Could Gu Yanjing be tired of home pursuits and fancied her?
"Miss, do you need something from me..."
Dong Qian couldn’t finish before Qiao Yuxian cut him off: "Are you Dong Qian?"
Suddenly called by his full name, Dong Qian felt displeased, his voice irritably asking: "I am, so what?"
Qiao Yuxian nodded: "Good enough."
Before she finished, Qiao Yuxian lunged forward, grabbed his collar firmly, and punched him hard in the face.
Gu Linhai and Gu Yicheng immediately stood.
Gu Yanjing frowned.
Meng Yan was startled and stepped back.
Hit by a heavy blow, Dong Qian’s mind was foggy, yet instinctively resisted.
Qiao Yuxian effortlessly grabbed his swinging arm, twisted it, and dislocated it.
Dong Qian let out a muffled groan.
Qiao Yuxian gave him no chance to feel single pain, pulling him by the collar to the floor, and smashed a bottle on his forehead.
The bottle shattered, and blood flowed from Dong Qian’s forehead.
"You crazy woman! Who are you! What grudge do we have?" Dong Qian suddenly shouted.
Qiao Yuxian said nothing, kicking him in the ribs.
Dong Qian let out another muffled groan, holding his stomach unable to speak, cold sweat dripping continuously.
Gu Linhai stepped forward but stopped, looking at Gu Yanjing: "Yanjing."
Gu Yanjing watched Qiao Yuxian, ignoring what was said, not reacting.
Seeing no intervention, Gu Linhai didn’t act.
Upon hearing the name "Yanjing," Dong Qian seemed reinvigorated, gritting his teeth through pain he shouted: "Some wild girl, know who I am? Know who’s behind me? Know who you’ve offended?"
Qiao Yuxian placed her foot on him, arm resting on her knee, bent over to look at him.
Her pretty fox-like eyes showed a cold smirk, rebellious and ruthless, her voice soft and cold: "Aren’t you Dong Qian? So? Tell me, who is your backer? Who are you relying on?"
Dong Qian looked towards Gu Linhai: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law..."
Qiao Yuxian turned slightly.
She ignored Gu Yanjing, directly glanced at Gu Linhai.
In brief, they exchanged glances, Qiao Yuxian then faced Dong Qian again: "Gu Family?"
"Now you know. The Kyoto Gu Family!" Dong Qian’s forehead was bleeding, clutching his stomach, he spoke with difficulty, "Brat, you won’t live to leave here today."
Qiao Yuxian softly laughed: "Then let the whole Gu Family try, see what they can do to me."
She finished, leaned and punched his face again.
Listening to her words, Gu Yanjing’s brow furrowed slightly.
She didn’t assume the Gu Family would support her, instead pushed them on the opposing side.
Dong Qian spat out a tooth.
Qiao Yuxian grabbed his collar, lifted his upper body slightly. She patted his face gently, speaking softly: "Encounter anyone named Qiao, damn it, walk away."
