Reborn in a Noble Family - Chapter 117
Chapter 117 Non-compliance
“Qiao Qiao! Don’t you believe fourth aunt?”
Of course not.
If Qiao Yunxi didn’t give her face in front of outsiders, no matter how good Xue Tao’s cultivation was, she couldn’t stand it anymore. She was an elder, how could she be questioned again and again by a junior?
“Today, I can be considered as experiencing the Qiao family’s tutelage.”
“Madam Sun, Qiao Qiao is not sensible. I apologize on her behalf.” Xue Tao tried her best to defend Qiao Xi, but her accusations were confirmed between the lines.
“Fourth Madam Qiao, although the Qiao family has always been the head of the long-haired family, when did it become the turn of a child to make the decision? With such character, do you still want to compete for the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce?”
It was indeed this.
Xue Tao said awkwardly, “This … is our Qiao Family’s family matter.”
“This isn’t just about the Qiao Clan,” Mrs. Sun said forcefully. “I think Mrs. Qiao should be very clear about how much harm a person with bad character can do in the Chamber of Commerce. It’s just a trivial matter. You should use dirty methods to bully and frame your peers in order to achieve your goal. If the Chamber of Commerce is in chaos, the economy of Jincheng will be in chaos.”
Haha, so serious?
Qiao Xi’s smile deepened.
“I will not let this matter rest. Madam Qiao, you are also a mother. You should understand my feelings. If Qiao Family continues to let Qiao Yunxi stay in the Chamber of Commerce, our Sun family will be the first to disagree. Although our Sun family’s influence in the Chamber of Commerce is not as great as Qiao Family’s, there are still quite a few allies …”
Therefore, as long as they worked together, it was not impossible for them to vote Qiao Xi out of the Chamber of Commerce.
‘”Madam Sun” Xue Tao looked at Madam Sun with a fawning expression.
To be able to do such a thing for an ignorant junior, this elder Xue Tao could be said to be extremely responsible.
Of course, Qiao Family’s position in Jincheng is still very important. In these years, Master Qiao and Master Qiao Si have worked hard in the Chamber of Commerce and done a lot of practical things for the merchants in Jincheng. It is thanks to the two of us that we have been able to develop like this. Especially now that the Shu Dao has been renovated, the influx of merchants from all walks of life has caused a great impact on us. The Chamber of Commerce has been re-elected at this time to select capable and respected people to preside over the Chamber of Commerce. Miss Qiao, it doesn’t meet the requirements. Is Qiao Family going to give up his position in the Chamber of Commerce? ”
Mrs. Sun said tactfully, but every word was questioning Qiao Xi’s ability and character.
In the absence of Qiao Xingbang, it would never be a child’s turn to deal with the Chamber of Commerce. No matter how bad it was, Qiao Family and Fourth Master Qiao would directly crush Qiao Yunxi in the Chamber of Commerce, regardless of ability or prestige.
Xue Tao smiled embarrassedly. “Lady Sun, this is just a conflict between children. It’s not going to rise to the Chamber of Commerce, is it?”
“Fourth Madam Qiao, my family’s Xian’s reputation is almost ruined. Isn’t this serious?” Lady Sun is tough.
“Miss, we’ve caught him.” Outside the door, Madam Sun had a bad premonition about Nanny Shen’s dry voice.
Sure enough, Qiao Yunxi smiled and said, “Bring him in.”
Just as she finished speaking, Nanny Shen came in with a woman in black in her hand, accompanied by Dang Gui.
“Qiao Qiao …”
Qiao Yunxi smiled harmlessly at Xue Tao. “It’s a long story. If Lady Sun doesn’t mind the trouble, Qiao Qiao will slowly explain it to you.”
“No, there’s no need …”
‘”First of all,” said Qiao Yunxi faster than Lady Sun, “Miss Sun is in my room today. We didn’t say much and she went back to her room. Is that so, Chelsea?”
Qiao’er trembled.
“I’m older than Miss Sun, so I naturally have to take responsibility for her safety. Everyone is happy that nothing happened. If anything happens, I’m the mastermind.”
Ignoring the ugly expressions of Lady Sun and Xue Tao, she said, “Just in case, I let Mammy Shen and Dang Gui take charge of Miss Sun’s safety. Fortunately, I had foresight and made preparations beforehand. As soon as the sneak attacker entered the room, he was discovered by my men. Then, he was caught.”
“Miss Qiao, since you arranged for people in advance, why did the black-clothed man still enter Xian Xian’s room?” Mrs. Sun immediately questioned whether the ginger was still old and spicy.
Qiao Xi innocently shrugged her shoulders. “Madam Sun, I can only guard against the unforeseen. I can’t predict. It’s already very good that I can catch the murderer. Could it be that Madam Sun still expects me to stay by Miss Sun’s side at all times?”
“Strong words make sense!”
Qiao Yunxi gritted his teeth. “It’s better to ask the murderer’s purpose first, so as not to implicate me.”
Mrs. Sun, however, did not want to interrogate the murderer immediately. “This won’t trouble Miss Qiao anymore. Since the murderer has been caught, I will deal with the rest of the matter.”
“That won’t do,” Qiao Xi said stubbornly. “Previously, Qiao’er said that the murderer was my man. Now that he has been caught, I’m worried if he doesn’t ask clearly. I don’t trust Mrs. Sun, either. If the result is not known and the person is gone, then I will be even more wronged,” said Qiao Xi stubbornly.
‘”You” I didn’t expect Qiao Yunxi to be so direct. Lady Sun didn’t know what to say.
The black-clothed man who was kneeling on the ground uncontrollably straightened his back, his eyes under his mask glaring at Qiao Xi with resentment.
“Qiao Qiao,” Xue Tao said reproachfully, “this is a family matter. What are you involved in?”
“So, a maidservant can slander me wantonly?” Qiao Xi asked.
“Miss Qiao, stay on the side. We’ll see each other in the future. Why are you so aggressive?”
“So, you can force me, I want to return their innocence? I have asked Qiao’er before. If her words were her own speculation and her master’s intentions, what should she do according to the Sun Clan’s rules? If it’s master’s intention, then I can only ask Lady Sun for an explanation. Of course, I have always advocated fairness, so finding the government is the best way. ”
“Qiao Qiao!” At this time, only Xue Tao came to make things right.
“What does Miss Qiao mean?” Lady Sun asked directly.
“I just want to ask, do people like me, who are willing to help and defend their partners, have the qualifications to preside over the Chamber of Commerce and run for president?”
Madam Sun looked at Qiao Xi and said, “Miss Qiao, it’s not up to me whether you can stay in the Chamber of Commerce or not and whether you have the qualifications to sit in the position of Guild Leader.”
“Well, then it’s meaningless for me to continue asking. However, I am determined to obtain the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce. Lady Sun, you will support me.” Qiao Yunxi smiled sweetly.
Lady Sun gritted his teeth and looked at Qiao Yunxi resentfully. After a long time, he said gloomily, “As Miss Qiao wishes, I hope Miss Qiao can satisfy me.”
“Don’t worry, Lady Sun. I’m very sincere.”
Mrs. Sun stared at Qiao Xi without blinking. Her nasal voice snorted lightly, and the nanny beside her immediately invited everyone out of the dhyana room.
“Qiao Qiao …”
“Fourth aunt, Qiao Qiao is very grateful to you for protecting Qiao Qiao in front of outsiders. However, Qiao Qiao is not blessed with the protection of Fourth aunt. Save it if you can.”
“Qiao Qiao …”
‘”I know that Fourth Aunt will say that this is Grandmother’s intention. As a junior, Qiao Qiao will not question the decision of the elders. However, Qiao Qiao still has absolute decision-making power over eldest branch’s matters. Whoever wants to harm eldest branch and Qiao Qiao’s interests, don’t blame Qiao Qiao for turning a blind eye!”
Xue Tao trembled uncomfortably when she said that.
Her heart was filled with inexplicable fear. She could not tell where she came from, but it was pressing down on her to be unable to breathe.
Xue Tao had never felt this kind of embarrassment before. Even when facing Qiao Xingbang, Xue Tao was arrogant and arrogant.
That was a pressure that only the upper echelons had, but it burst out from an eleven-year-old body. Xue Tao didn’t believe it at all. However, she instinctively gave in, causing her to feel uneasy.
“Qiao Qiao …”
“Fourth aunt, it’s meaningless after the show. Just use this trick once. Next time, think of some other moves.”
“Qiao Qiao, no …”
“Fourth aunt, you must still have a lot of things to deal with. I won’t waste your time.”
Xue Tao looked at Qiao Xi’s back and frowned.
Qiao Xi had already broken up with them on behalf of the Changfang, but she didn’t say it openly, so she had the mentality of deceiving herself and others.
Perhaps it was because the Qiao family’s property was not yet in their possession.
Perhaps it was because she hadn’t stepped on the long-haired man yet.
Perhaps, she had not yet stood at the highest position with the most perfect posture.
After Jin Baijin was interrupted twice by Madam Sun, he did not say a word. Only after sending Qiao Xi back to her room did he apologetically say, “Qiao Qiao, I’m sorry, I didn’t expect …”
“It has nothing to do with you. It was originally aimed at me.” Qiao Yunxi comforted, “Even if it wasn’t Sun Xian this time, it would still be someone else next time.”
Jin Baijin sighed, “Is it Fourth Room?”
Qiao Yunxi chuckled. “How are the preparations for our restaurant going?”
Jin Baijin was stunned. He didn’t expect that Qiao Yunxi would suddenly mention the restaurant at this time.
“We’re all ready. We’ll just have to wait for us to choose a good day to open.”
“Can we change suppliers?” Qiao Yunxi suddenly asked.
Jin Baijin looked at Qiao Xi in surprise and didn’t ask any further. Instead, he nodded and said, “Alright, do you have a better introduction?”
“Yes, the Li Clan.”
“The Li family? Your aunt’s husband’s family?” Jin Baijin’s eyes lit up. ‘
“Yes, it’s the Li Clan.”
“Qiao Qiao, you mean …”
Shh–
Qiao Yunxi raised his middle finger and placed it beside his lips, making a silent gesture.
“Details, let’s talk about it when we get back.”
Jin Baijin nodded excitedly, feeling as uncomfortable as a cat’s scratch.
The mastermind behind tonight’s incident was not Fang 4, but Qiao Linzi.
Before, when Sun Xian came to her room and sat down, she noticed that something was wrong.
It wasn’t that she saw anything from Sun Xian’s face, but her intuition.
She asked Nanny Shen to stay outside Sun Xian’s room, and she should stay at the door of her room.
Angelica was in the shadows the entire time, which was why Qiao’er would identify the person who attacked Sun Xian as Angelica, in order to ruin her best friend reputation.
On Sun Xian’s side, the person who arranged the sneak attack was a woman. First, if the matter became serious and the person who sneak attacked was a woman, Sun Xian’s reputation would not be greatly affected. Second, it was because Qiao Xi had a Chinese angelica beside her and she had evidence to identify her.
