"It's not safe with you?" Qin Xiang said almost without thinking. "Little Sis, you live with the Qiao Family. With your status as the Eldest Young Madam, who in Xiangjiang would dare touch you? Given my current situation, it's not safe with *me*."

Mrs. Gao came out of the hospital room and froze when she saw Jie Jingchen standing guard at the door. Her pupils contracted, and she stammered, "Y-Young Master Qiao..."
Jie Jingchen let out a cold, disdainful laugh, making no effort to hide his loathing for the Gao Family.
Mrs. Gao wanted to say something but didn't know what. The Qiao family was furious, and apologizing on her son's behalf right now would only make them detest the Gao family even more. They would wait until her son was better, then bring him to the Qiao residence to offer a sincere apology.
