From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 178 - : Qiao Xin’s Injustice
Chapter 178 -178: Qiao Xin’s Injustice
After leaving Sihai Entertainment, neither Qiao Yi nor Feng Siyu felt like talking.
“Do you think Le Bai is reliable at all?”
This time the question was raised by Feng Siyu, not because she doubted Le Bai’s competence, but rather because he indeed seemed somewhat unreliable!
Qiao Yi’s mouth twitched as she was asked by Feng Siyu, but she really couldn’t be certain either since although Le Bai had been very warm and close to her, nobody knew what he was actually thinking.
Entrusting hopes on someone not very close, Qiao Yi now already started regretting it.
“Forget it, use people without doubt, don’t employ if doubtful. Treat a dead horse as if it’s alive.”
However, they indeed found the right person in Le Bai for assistance, Qiao Xin had always been clinging around Qiao Yi and Lu Yanchuan, but unexpectedly in just two days, Qiao Xin had not been seen again.
Even occasionally when Qiao Yi went to Lu Group to find Lu Yanchuan, Qiao Xin, upon seeing her, hurried off and did not, as before, always come up to provoke.
Who knows what method Le Bai used, but he truly restrained Qiao Xin!
Such a huge favor, of course, called for thanks. Just when Qiao Yi intended to invite Le Bai out for a meal, a call from Mr. and Mrs. Qiao came through, asking Qiao Yi and Qiao Xin to return home for lunch.
At noon, when she saw Qiao Xin, Qiao Yi noticed that Qiao Xin had become quite haggard over these two days.
Recently, due to many business matters, aside from the celebration dinner where Qiao Yi and Mr. and Mrs. Qiao had met, they had not seen each other since, so Zhao Wenjing just asked both of them to come home for a meal.
However, although they called both back for a meal, it seemed like only three people were present at the dining table. Qiao Benqing and Zhao Wenjing were only talking with Qiao Yi about business matters and how Qiao Yi was doing in the Lu Family, leaving Qiao Xin as if she was an outsider.
“Mom and dad, don’t worry about me, Yanchuan treats me very well, look how much I’ve gained, and how could I possibly be mistreated!”
Unable to bear Zhao Wenjing’s fussing anymore, Qiao Yi pinched her own belly fat and showed it to Zhao Wenjing, attempting to prove with her little fat that she wasn’t being mistreated.
“You, I shouldn’t worry about you. Living under your hand, I should worry about Yanchuan! Don’t bully him too much, understand!”
Zhao Wenjing scolded with a smile and brushed off Qiao Yi’s hands, then piled another two ribs onto her plate, repeatedly urging her to eat more.
The harmonious scene of this family of three irritated Qiao Xin’s nerves, and with a bang, Qiao Xin smashed her rice bowl and stood up with blazing eyes.
“In your eyes, is only Qiao Yi your daughter? Do you care if she’s well? Have you ever cared about whether I’m doing well? I too married into the Lu Family, why don’t you ask if I have been mistreated!”
The parental favoritism that had been simmering since childhood finally erupted at this moment, Qiao Xin stood on the other side of the long table, uncontrollably furious and deeply sorrowful, appearing as an orphan abandoned by the whole world.
“Why has Qiao Yi been loved by everyone since childhood, while I’m hated just because my mother had a difficult labor with me! If that’s the case, why did you even give birth to me, why didn’t you kill me when I was born?”
After Qiao Xin yelled at Mr. and Mrs. Qiao, she turned towards Qiao Yi, and this time, she harbored only hatred.
“Both marrying into the Lu Family, you sail smoothly without taboos, and me! Mother-in-law’s quibbling, husband’s cheating, and all of which you do not have. Instead, when you return home, it’s you, the one pampered excessively, who they worry about being mistreated, why!”
“You’re all family! Only I’m not! Is it only when I’m dead that you’ll start to care about me a little!”
Interrupting Qiao Xin’s furious yelling was Qiao Yi’s slap.
“Have you had enough!”

Qiao Yi covered her face, pointing at her own nose and started to sneer.
“It’s me causing a scene? Qiao Yi, easy for you to say when you’re standing there pain-free!”
Qiao Yi, who always preferred action over quarrel, especially didn’t bother to waste her breath on a fool like Qiao Xin. But this time, just when she was about to continue with physical intervention, Qiao Benqing stopped her.
“Dad! Why are you stopping me! Having such a fool in the Qiao Family is a disgrace to our family!”
Qiao Yi was even more furious than Qiao Xin; if it weren’t for Qiao Benqing holding her back, Qiao Xin might not have been able to leave the Qiao Family’s house intact today.
“Forget it, don’t you know her temperament already? Just let it go…”
“All these years, how much trouble she has caused, how many issues she has created, and every time it ends with ‘let it go!'”
Qiao Yi angrily pushed Qiao Benqing’s hand away and gave up the idea of continuing physical altercation.
Qiao Xin collapsed to the ground, hearing the conversation between the two, and her grievances and resentments exploded again.
“Did I say anything wrong! In the entire Capital City, who doesn’t know what kind of person you are, Qiao Yi! You say I make mistakes, I cause trouble – you have no right to lecture me!”
Qiao Yi, not angry but amused, pulled Qiao Benqing to sit down, then returned in front of Qiao Xin.
“You say I’m not worthy? Today I really want to discuss with you, between us, who is really unworthy! You say from childhood I was more favored, that Mom and Dad were biased towards me from the start, but have you ever looked at yourself? Since school, you were hardly ever home, you never cared about the family affairs. The most common thing you’d say when you were home was asking for money, how do you deserve Mom and Dad’s favor!”
“And then after graduation, to ensure you have something to rely on, Mom and Dad gave you all the shares of Lu Group, against the board’s objections they even arranged a position for you in the company, and what happened? These years, how many crises and accidents have you brought to the company, every single time Dad has to clean up your mess!”
After saying all this, Qiao Yi still wasn’t satisfied, and she pointed at the table full of dishes and shouted at Qiao Xin.
“If Mom and Dad were biased towards me, would they prepare a table full of your favorite food? If Mom and Dad treated you poorly, would they let you grow up so spoiled! All your food, clothing, and luxurious lifestyle these years, which hasn’t been supported by Mom and Dad! What right do you have to shout at Mom and Dad here!”
Qiao Yi’s accusations quieted the entire dining room, Qiao Benqing and Zhao Wenjing were grim-faced, lost in thought, while Qiao Xin was full of resentment.
“You only talk about how good Mom and Dad are to me! Why don’t you look at yourself, don’t you also own half of the shares of the Qiao Family! You’re here playing the big bad wolf with me!”
“Enough!”
Qiao Benqing slammed the table, stopping what Qiao Yi was about to say.
Qiao Yi paused, then turned and met Qiao Benqing’s guilty eyes, and she silently sat down, biting her teeth.
“Xinxin, Dad knows you’ve been wronged at the Lu family, you stay at home for the next few days, cool down before going back.”
