Chapter 19: Chapter 18: To Beat Qiao Jing to Death
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhan Qipei didn’t bother changing his shoes and walked towards the villa’s main entrance in his large leather boots.
Before he reached the entrance, he saw Qiao Jing getting out of the car after pushing the car door open.
She actually knows to come back!
Just as Qiao Jing was about to push the gate open and enter, she caught sight from the corner of her eye of a private car stopping beside her, and two people got out of the car.
Qiao Mengtong and her grandmother, Jhiang Cuifeng.
Upon seeing Qiao Jing, Jhiang Cuifeng’s wrinkled old face visibly turned unsightly.
This clearly showed how much she despised Qiao Jing.
Jhiang Cuifeng then turned to look at Purple Garden next to her—the greed in her gleaming old eyes laid bare her vain nature for all to see.
“I really didn’t expect you actually married into this family.”
Zhan Qipei had not met Qiao Jing’s family, but judging from the situation, he could roughly guess. Considering the circumstances, it was inconvenient for him to approach, so he stood by and watched.
Then he saw Qiao Jing not even giving Jhiang Cuifeng an extra glance and directly walked into the villa.
“Qiao Jing!” Jhiang Cuifeng called out to Qiao Jing sharply.
“You fool! Are you blind? Didn’t you expect me to come? You’ve lived all these years with no manners or upbringing at all!”
Qiao Jing turned around, her face expressionless as she looked at Jhiang Cuifeng, “You start by calling me a fool, and I’m the one with no manners or upbringing, so where are your manners and education?”
“You dare speak to me like this?” Jhiang Cuifeng was so angry she jabbed her cane into the ground.
“I believe I am quite well-mannered, but it varies with the person. If others are friendly to me, then I am also friendly. If someone barks at me for no reason, I usually ignore it. But I have my limits, don’t make me angry,” Qiao Jing said, her words growing colder towards the end.
“You brat, you fool—” Jhiang Cuifeng trembled with anger, unable to articulate a complete sentence.
Qiao Jing glanced at Jhiang Cuifeng indifferently and turned to enter the villa.
Seeing Qiao Jing leaving, Qiao Mengtong quickly shook Jhiang Cuifeng’s arm, “Grandma, grandma! She’s leaving! Call her back quickly!”
Reminded by Qiao Mengtong, Jhiang Cuifeng remembered the purpose of their visit.
“Qiao Jing, stop right there! Did I say you could leave?”
Qiao Mengtong worked with Jhiang Cuifeng to stop Qiao Jing.
“If you have something to say, just say it!” Qiao Jing’s voice was weary, and impatience surged through her faintly furrowed brows.
Jhiang Cuifeng, leaning on her cane, moved forward and cut to the chase, “I heard from Tongtong that the Zhan Family gave you a lot of money, hand it over!”
At this, Qiao Jing realized they thought the money was from the Zhan Family.
Seeing Qiao Jing showing no intention of handing over the money, Jhiang Cuifeng immediately lost her temper.
“You little wretch, what do you need all that money for? Tongtong said you bought out an entire store’s worth of clothes. You’re simply a squanderer! How did our Qiao Family even produce a wastrel like you!”
The thought of all that money going to waste made Jhiang Cuifeng’s heart ache.
“The money is not from the Zhan Family; it’s mine. I can spend my own money however I want, it has nothing to do with your Qiao Family.” Qiao Jing looked at Jhiang Cuifeng with a distant expression.
“What? It has nothing to do with our Qiao Family? Without me, would you have your father? Without your father, where would you be? Your dad’s company is having some financial difficulties right now. Hand over the money, and don’t blame me for being heartless. Just keep a hundred or two for yourself to spend, and give me the rest!”
“Heh—” Qiao Jing scoffed, amused by Jhiang Cuifeng’s shamelessness.
“My time is precious, and I don’t want to waste it on you. Move aside.”
“You dare not give it!” Jhiang Cuifeng pointed at Qiao Jing with her cane, “Qiao Jing, your father can’t get the funds he needs, how can you be so selfish? You are his flesh and blood, how can you refuse to help? If you don’t give it to me today, I will beat you to death!”
Zhan Qipei found Jhiang Cuifeng’s words utterly shattering his values.
He knew the Qiao Family wasn’t worth anything, but he never expected them to be so utterly shameless!
Facing Jhiang Cuifeng’s threats and intimidation, Qiao Jing didn’t even lift an eyelid, just looking at her coldly and indifferently.
To Jhiang Cuifeng, Qiao Jing’s attitude was an outright provocation.
“You little wretch, let’s see how I discipline you today!” Jhiang Cuifeng swung her cane aiming for Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing’s eyes narrowed dangerously. Just as she was about to do something, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the cane.
