Mr. Qiao and Mrs. Qiao were somewhat surprised. Since returning, this child has been distant from them, only close with Yue'er, and they don't know how to relate to their daughter.
"Second child, we can't just let this matter go today! She's a grown girl, yet she's learned to stay out overnight, causing so many people to look for her. Look at her now; does she look like a proper girl?"
Old Mrs. Qiao and the aunt's family came out. Old Mrs. Qiao looked at this unwanted granddaughter with disgust, her old face long with displeasure.
"Grandma, Qiao Qiqi just hit Sister-in-law Li; she's so uncultured!" Qiao Yun'er immediately complained.
At this time, Qiao Yue'er felt uncomfortable seeing Qiao Qiqi not listening to her and clinging to her parents. She planned to watch the situation unfold; anyway, Grandma would surely teach her a lesson!
"What, coming back late and still hitting people? Our Qiao Family doesn't have such uncultured descendants! Second child, quickly send her back to the countryside so she won't bring disgrace to the Qiao Family again!" Old Mrs. Qiao shouted angrily.
Qiao Qiqi wanted to hug her parents more, but there were too many annoying flies around her, making her a bit fed up. Her gaze turned cold as she reluctantly let go of her parents.
A hand tightly grasped Qiao Qiqi's, and she turned to see her mother looking at her with a worried expression.
Qiao Yaozu turned to his mother and said, "Mom, Qiqi just came back, and we don't know what happened yet. Qiqi, are you hurt?"
Qiao Yaozu worriedly held his daughter's other hand, afraid she might be injured.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I'm fine." Qiao Qiqi's heart felt warm as she sensed her parents' love.
"She's not hurt; if she was, would she have the strength to hit people?" Old Mrs. Qiao wished she could throw this unwanted granddaughter back.
Qiao Qiqi's gaze coldly swept across the domineering Old Mrs. Qiao who was scolding her. It was this heartless old hag who refused to treat Mom in the later stages of her illness, calling Mom a money-loser. Mom didn't die from the illness but was tortured to death by pain!
Even Dad, it was this heartless old hag who said to stop the treatment!
Worried Dad would spend even a penny more, yet all that money was earned by Dad himself!
Thinking of this, Qiao Qiqi looked at Old Mrs. Qiao with a hatred that couldn't be more intense, wishing she could dismember this heartless old creature who didn't care about her own son's life, not a human at all!
Old Mrs. Qiao continuously stared at Qiao Qiqi, so frightened by her gaze that her heart nearly jumped out. She clutched her chest with one hand, pointing at Qiao Qiqi with the other, "You... you..."
Qiao Qiqi withdrew her gaze and looked at Sister-in-law Li, coldly saying, "You're fired, pack your things and get out now!"
"Oh, who's the master of this house? I say, second child, Mom is still alive." Aunt Qian Mentao looked disdainfully at the brat opposite with her narrow and greedy eyes.
Qiao Yaozu's expression didn't look good either as he turned to his daughter, "Qiqi, Sister-in-law Li has been in our home for many years. If you want to fire her..."
Qiao Qiqi knew her father had a soft heart, or he wouldn't have let Old Mrs. Qiao and the eldest brother's family bully him into a dead end, ultimately causing the family to lose their lives.
"Dad, when I just came back, Sister-in-law Li blocked the door and scolded me, saying I'm not as good as Qiao Yue'er and Qiao Yun'er, and called me a wild brat from the countryside who should go back for disgracing the Qiao Family. Dad, should this kind of servant not be hit? You keep her, do you think what she said is right?" Qiao Qiqi's eyes reddened with grievance as she looked at her father.
