Chapter 67: A Storm Is Coming

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Qiao Yue could reveal to the Qiao family that she was not short of money, even that she was related to KA, but she could not let them guess that she was related to the organization.

Seeing Qiao Yu turn away to avoid her gaze, Qiao Yue couldn’t help but frown. This wasn’t a good sign. If Qiao Yu made any wild guesses, it might cause her trouble.

“Fourth brother, I’m very alert. Don’t sneak attack me in future.” Qiao Yue said.

Qiao Yu didn’t expect Qiao Yue to mention what happened just now. He looked at Qiao Yue with confusion.

“I’ve survived rogues and gangsters and have encountered danger, so I’m more vigilant.”

As she spoke, Qiao Yue slowly untied the bandage around her neck.

Qiao Yue’s actions caught Qiao Yu’s attention. From the first time he met Qiao Yue, he had been curious about the bandage on her neck. Now that Qiao Yue was willing to take the bandage off, how could he not look?

As the bandage came off, a scar that extended to Qiao Yue’s back came into view. Qiao Yu held his breath, not daring to imagine how serious Qiao Yue’s injury had been.

“Your injury?”

Qiao Yu wanted to touch Qiao Yue’s scar, which was covered in bandage just seconds ago.

“I was hacked by someone. A kind person saved me. Otherwise, there would be no Qiao Yue now.”

Qiao Yue said it casually, but Qiao Yu clenched his fists.

“Fourth brother, don’t attack me from behind in future. I might be heavy-handed.” Qiao Yue’s expression didn’t change, but her words were serious.

Qiao Yu patted Qiao Yue on the shoulder, like a form of encouragement.

“It’s all in the past. You’re part of the Qiao family now. No one would dare to hurt you.”

Qiao Yue turned her head and smiled sarcastically. No one would dare to hurt her, really?

Other than the unhappiness in the changing room, the basketball game went on smoothly.

Since he knew about Qiao Yue’s scar, Qiao Yu didn’t ask Qiao Yue to change into the tank top again. But Qiao Yue’s different outfit made her the center of attention again.

While Qiao Yue was feeling uneasy on her end, something big happened at the Qiao residence.

When Qiao Xin heard that Qiao Jing was going to take Qiao Yue to see Old Master Qiao, she ran home skipping all her classes.

“Mom! Second brother is going to take Qiao Yue to meet Grandpa! Is he crazy? Why would we allow a bastard child to split our family money?” Qiao Xin rushed to the third madam’s bedroom and shouted at her mother who was going through her skincare routine.

As Qiao Xin spoke too quickly, Third Madam Qiao didn’t understand what she was saying and could only frown at her.

Qiao Xin regained her senses from her mother’s stare, but she was still gasping for air. She was really angry at the news. How could her second brother do this? Had he been bewitched by Qiao Yue?

After calming herself down, Qiao Xin repeated what she just said to the third madam, word for word.

Third Madam Qiao was different from her brainless daughter. She immediately got the point.

“Xin’er, where did you hear this from?”

“The cleaning lady told me about it. I called her today and she told me this big news.” Qiao Xin replied smugly.

Third Madam Qiao immediately understood why this person didn’t tell her first but her daughter. The reason was simple: Qiao Xin has given the cleaning lady more money.

In order to find out about the other Qiao’s, Third Madam Qiao paid the cleaning lady to tell her whatever news she heard. Because the servants had a lot of gossip and information, the third family always managed to avoid the other two families’ minefields and maintained their appearance as nice people.

She was being smart, but she had a prodigal daughter. The cleaning lady wasn’t satisfied with her money alone, she also wanted her daughter’s money. She had told her daughter that this would encourage unruly behavior but her daughter wouldn’t listen.

Third Madam Qiao sighed. She felt that the information this time was useful, so she stopped blaming Qiao Xin.

“She only told you that Qiao Jing is going to take Qiao Yue to see the old man? Did she say when?” The third madam asked.

Qiao Xin shook her head. “No. That’s all she heard.”

Hearing Qiao Xin’s words, Third Madam Qiao started to plan.
