Chapter 210: Chapter 188 "Yu Xian
Qiao Yuxian spoke, Qiao Lech was very obedient, and Qiao Zhiang was very obedient too.
Both went upstairs obediently.
Waiting for them to go upstairs, Qiao Yuxian directly walked over to Qiao Shuning.
Qiao Shuning saw her coming, subconsciously wanting to stand up.
But Qiao Yuxian was fast, and before anyone could react, Qiao Yuxian had directly pulled Qiao Shuning up from the sofa, slapped her hard across the face, and then knocked her back onto the sofa.
"Ah!!!" Qiao Shuning screamed.
Zheng Xiu Zhu also shouted.
Both Zheng Xiu Zhu and Qiao Shuning’s father, Qiao Cheng, immediately stood up wanting to go after Qiao Yuxian.
Chen Hui saw them about to hit Qiao Yuxian and suddenly stood up to move.
However, she was injured and had limited mobility, not as fast as them.
Fortunately, Qiao Yu was faster than them, grabbing Qiao Yuxian’s wrist and pulling her behind him.
On the other side of Qiao Yuxian was another force. It was Gu Yanjing.
During the New Year, there were many cars outside. Gu Yanjing was looking for a parking space outside, entering the living room later than Qiao Yuxian.
As soon as he came in, he saw this scene.
Qiao Yuxian was pulled by forces from both sides and staggered a bit.
Both Qiao Yu and Gu Yanjing helped her a bit, then exchanged a glance.
Gu Yanjing slightly nodded to Qiao Yu, as a greeting.
Qiao Cheng and Zheng Xiu Zhu both stared at the man in front of them, stunned for a moment.
Until Qiao Shuning started shouting, both snapped back to reality.
"Qiao Yuxian, are you crazy? Are you addicted to hitting people?" Qiao Shuning shouted as she rushed over to Qiao Yuxian, "What right do you have to hit me, you lunatic!"
She rushed over trying to hit Qiao Yuxian.
But Qiao Yu completely shielded Qiao Yuxian behind him; she couldn’t even see the person.
Qiao Yuxian looked at her dad’s back.
Gu Yanjing extended his hand back, attracting Qiao Yuxian’s gaze, and she immediately placed her hand in his.
"Second Uncle. She hit me. Didn’t you see? She hit me as soon as she walked in!" Qiao Shuning shouted with wide eyes at Qiao Yu, "What did I do? Am I now at a point where I’m beaten for no reason and can’t fight back? What did I do? She hit me!"
"Second Brother. She’s your precious daughter, you wouldn’t let anyone harm her. Shuning was also raised dearly by us." Zheng Xiu Zhu’s face turned red, her chest violently heaving, her voice hoarse, her eyes red with pity and anger for Qiao Shuning, "I know you feel guilty towards her. But there’s a limit to compensation. This way, you will spoil her into being lawless and arrogant. You’ll ruin her."
"Indeed." Qiao Cheng also said, "Why can’t something be discussed properly? Hitting people as soon as you walk in. Not knowing how to greet elders. That’s disrespectful, uneducated."
"Brother. Yuxian was raised single-handedly by mom and dad." Qiao Yu looked at him and said coldly, "Are you calling them uneducated?"
"I..." Qiao Cheng was speechless.
"Second Uncle, we’re talking about Qiao Yuxian here. Don’t bring grandpa and grandma into this." Qiao Shuning, who was spoiled since childhood, became even more unruly with her parents’ support, "Grandpa and Grandma educated her well. But if you don’t educate her properly now, she’ll be insufferable. Today she’s hitting me indiscriminately; are you waiting for her to kill me tomorrow!"
"Whether she kills you is another matter." Qiao Yuxian said calmly behind Qiao Yu, "Today let’s talk about you hiring someone to take my life."
As she spoke, everyone fell silent for a moment.
Qiao Yu turned to look at Qiao Yuxian.
Gu Yanjing squeezed Qiao Yuxian’s hand, looking at the three people opposite.
"Stop spouting nonsense, stop slandering me." Qiao Shuning shouted.
"Whether you’re being slandered, you know very well." Qiao Yuxian stepped aside, looking toward Qiao Shuning between Qiao Yu and Gu Yanjing, "Let me tell you. If the Qiao Mansion’s Buddhist Shrine encounters a mishap. Do you think one life would be enough to compensate?"
Qiao Shuning was dumbfounded for a moment.
Qiao Cheng and Qiao Yu both looked at her.
The Buddhist Shrine at Qiao Mansion was extremely important to the Qiao Family.
To them, it was also very mysterious.
They didn’t know what was inside, only that the shrine should not be damaged in any way.
Qiao Shuning was silent for a moment and said, "First you say you want to kill me, then say you’re burning the shrine. Can’t you speak a single truth?"
Qiao Yuxian walked out from between Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yu, looking at Qiao Shuning and said, "Qiao Shuning, if you want to end my life, you can come at me anytime. But if you dare to target anything from the Qiao Mansion or anyone from the Qiao Family, I will immediately make you disappear from this world."
"Who do you think you are?" Qiao Shuning said viciously, "Make me disappear just like that."
"You can try." Qiao Yuxian said coldly.
As Qiao Yuxian’s aura cooled down, not only Qiao Shuning, but everyone present was momentarily intimidated.
Qiao Shuning stared at her for a while, the stronger the pressure she felt from her, the more she couldn’t stand it. Especially with the burning pain on her face, it made her even angrier.
She feared Qiao Yuxian at this moment, but her anger surpassed her fear.
After a few seconds of staring at each other, Qiao Shuning suddenly stepped forward, raising her hand to hit Qiao Yuxian.
Qiao Yu didn’t expect her to suddenly act and was too late to stop her when he moved forward. Fortunately, Gu Yanjing directly grabbed her wrist from the other side.
His grip was strong, as if he wanted to crush her wrist bone.
And when Qiao Yuxian stepped forward, she raised her hand and slapped her again.
"Idiot! You don’t even know you’re being used."
Qiao Yuxian didn’t care about her raised hand at all, she knew that with Gu Yanjing by her side, he wouldn’t let Qiao Shuning touch her.
A loud crack echoed.
Qiao Lech and his sister upstairs, peeking through a crack in the door, were startled.
Qiao Shuning fell directly to the side.
Seeing that she couldn’t stand steadily, Gu Yanjing released her wrist, letting her fall directly to the ground.
The cups on the coffee table fell to the ground.
Zheng Xiu Zhu quickly squatted on the floor to catch her, holding her while crying and checking her injuries.
Seeing this, Qiao Cheng also stepped forward, raising his hand to hit Qiao Yuxian.
Qiao Yu took a step forward, blocking in front of Qiao Yuxian again.
"Get out of the way!" Qiao Cheng shouted.
"Brother." Qiao Yu looked at him and said, "I think Shuning needs to be properly disciplined. The Buddha Hall of Qiao Mansion is such an important place, you should know that. It’s a place neither you nor I can enter, and she wants to burn it? If Mom and Dad were alive, Shuning would have been skinned today."
"You!" Qiao Cheng was at a loss for words again.
Qiao Shuning’s face was swollen on both sides, making it difficult for her to speak. Her wrist, tightly gripped by Gu Yanjing, hurt as if broken.
Zheng Xiu Zhu checked her injuries.
Qiao Shuning paused, got up immediately, and rushed towards Qiao Yuxian again.
This time Gu Yanjing blocked in front of Qiao Yuxian from the other side.
Qiao Shuning already started to go crazy, seeing Gu Yanjing blocking her, she looked at him and suddenly said, "You’re her boyfriend, right? Do you know that when she was in Yue City, she was hanging around with a man named Shen Wenyan all day. She’s slept with Shen Wenyan long ago, do you really think she’s a good person? Who knows how many men have had her..."
As she spoke, Qiao Yuxian wanted to step forward and tear at her.
But Gu Yanjing grasped her hand, pulling her back.
Gu Yanjing took a step forward instead.
And the moment he stepped forward, Qiao Shuning’s voice immediately stopped.
Looking at the man in front of her, just looking at him, fear grew from the depths of her heart and spread throughout her entire body.
She felt as if he could take her life with a mere flick of his hand.
Unlike Qiao Yuxian’s scare tactics, his threat was real.
One that would be carried out.
Qiao Shuning instinctively took a step back.
Gu Yanjing’s presence was cold, his expression was cold, his eyes were cold, carrying a powerful and intimidating aura, he looked at Qiao Shuning lightly. His voice was cold and deep: "Miss Qiao. Yu Xian might spare your life out of some consideration for your past blood ties. But I’m different. Taking your life is just a matter of words for me."
His words made everyone in the living room, except for Qiao Yuxian, hold their breath, even those upstairs not daring to make a sound.
Only Qiao Yuxian found it novel because he called her "Yu Xian" and looked at him.
Qiao Yu was infuriated, seeing Gu Yanjing speak, he turned his head to look at him.
"I don’t care about what you tell me. She’s mine now, and she has nothing to do with her past." Gu Yanjing caressed Qiao Yuxian’s hand, looking at Qiao Shuning said, "Besides, I know what kind of person she is better than you. Swallow your words down your throat, and if I hear any more word defiling her innocence, I’ll ensure you never speak again."
Qiao Shuning was so frightened that she staggered back a step.
Zheng Xiu Zhu supported her, too scared to utter a single word.
Qiao Yuxian, whose eyes were bloodshot with anger, was instantly delighted.
Everyone was dumbfounded by Gu Yanjing’s intimidation.
Only she was happily dawdling, scratching Gu Yanjing’s palm with her finger.
Gu Yanjing grasped her little hand.
Qiao Yu stood aside with no expression on his face, but inside he was secretly praising.
