From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 66 - : Decency Violation
Chapter 66 -66: Decency Violation
From a personal sentiment, Lu Xiaohua actually hoped more that Lu Yanchuan could end up with Bai Lingling,
After all, one of them was the younger brother she had watched grow up since he was little, and the other was a girl from her best friend’s family—someone she knew inside out. Naturally, she wished the two could become even closer.
Indeed, it seemed to be a case of unrequited affection from Bai Lingling’s side, as Lu Xiaohua tried for many years in vain, and Qiao Yi’s appearance later completely dispelled this thought.
Though Lu Yanchuan didn’t like Bai Lingling, Lu Xiaohua couldn’t just watch him mistreating the young girl.
“Don’t keep silent, if you’ve provoked the young girl then hurry and apologize. A real man should be responsible!”
“I didn’t provoke her.”
...
Lu Yanchuan was extremely impatient, finding a woman who created problems out of nothing truly headache-inducing. Why couldn’t she just keep calm?
Especially since this woman was also protected by someone. Even him showing a cold face would lead to a long lecture.
“Really?”
Lu Xiaohua looked at him skeptically, not believing what Lu Yanchuan said.
Previously, Bai Lingling had been brought to tears by Lu Yanchuan many times. Although they were both young at the time, Lu Xiaohua remembered this and would bring it up occasionally.
“Really, she intentionally bumped into Qiao Yi causing the egg to hit Qiao Yi, and then she accidentally collided with Qiao Yi again, which is why she ended up like this. It has nothing to do with others.”
Bai Lingling’s little schemes couldn’t be concealed from Qiao Yi, and of course, not from Lu Yanchuan either.
“That’s impossible, Lingling would never be that kind of girl! There must be some misunderstanding! I’ll go and talk to Qiao Yi!”
Lu Xiaohua would naturally trust the child she had watched grow up much more than Qiao Yi, who had only become her sister-in-law less than three months ago. After saying this, she left Lu Yanchuan behind and went upstairs to find Qiao Yi.
Lu Yanchuan didn’t stop her. There was surveillance in the living room; they would know the truth after checking the footage later.
Just as Qiao Yi had finished changing her clothes and was half-done washing her face, Lu Xiaohua walked in, saw the dress Qiao Yi had thrown aside covered in cake, and her accusatory words turned gentle before she spoke.
“I didn’t see you downstairs just now, what happened? Why are you and Lingling both covered in cake?”
Qiao Yi had learned about Bai Lingling’s identity from Lu Yanchuan long ago, so when she saw Lu Xiaohua storming in angrily, she knew she was here to seek accountability.
However, Qiao Yi wasn’t angry, knowing that Lu Xiaohua had always tried to bring Bai Lingling and Lu Yanchuan together, and certainly felt more sympathy for Bai Lingling.
“Nothing much, just bumped into Miss Bai downstairs.”
“But Yanchuan said it was you who deliberately bumped into Lingling?”
Droplets of water hung on Qiao Yi’s face, and as she turned her gaze to meet Lu Xiaohua’s, it oddly reminded her of Lu Yanchuan.
“If Yanchuan said so, then let it be.”
Without explaining or denying, Qiao Yi nonchalantly shrugged her shoulders, not taking the matter to heart at all.
“What are you…”
“Sister, I’m your sister-in-law. Just consider it teaching a lesson to a girl who harbors ill intentions towards Lu Yanchuan. Why make a big fuss about it?”
Ultimately, how Lu Yanchuan spoke to Lu Xiaohua didn’t matter, and Qiao Yi believed that although Lu Yanchuan was a bit harsh in front of her, he definitely wouldn’t say such distortions of truth.
Thus, Qiao Yi didn’t plan to follow Lu Xiaohua’s script. If she really got angry with Lu Yanchuan over a mere word, that would be foolish.
Lu Xiaohua didn’t expect Qiao Yi to respond like this. Shouldn’t she be defending herself a bit?
She had prepared a whole set of excuses; no matter what Qiao Yi said, she would definitely insist that Qiao Yi apologize to Bai Lingling.
But when Qiao Yi said that, she had no grounds to speak.

Qiao Yi was right; even if she did intentionally bump into Bai Lingling, she was just taking revenge on a woman who had designs on her man. If it came out, it would be more embarrassing for Bai Lingling.
Qiao Yi wiped her face dry; the cake was delicious, but once it got on her body, it really wasn’t easy to clean off. She exerted a lot of effort to clean herself up; it was time to go downstairs, as staying upstairs would be rude.
“Big sister, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go down first.”
Qiao Yi smiled at Lu Xiaohua, bypassed her, and left the room.
Downstairs, Lu Yanchuan still stood out in the crowd. From upstairs, Qiao Yi could see many ladies from prominent families sneaking glances at Lu Yanchuan.
Such a man attracts bees and butterflies, not at all observant of fidelity.
Qiao Yi pursed her lips and took another staircase down, walking over to Qiao Benqing and Zhao Wenjing.
“Dad, Mom, the party is almost over, let’s leave early.”
“Isn’t it bad to leave early? Waiting a little while longer for it to end isn’t an issue; it’s not that much time.”
Zhao Wenjing’s face was slightly flushed, showing she had drunk quite a bit.
Qiao Yi glanced at Qiao Benqing, and upon meeting his resigned gaze, she burst out laughing.
The Qiao Family and Lu Family said they were joining forces, but the Qiao Family had shallow roots and only bonded with the Lu Family due to the previous relations between the Family Heads of both houses.
Now with the Qiao Family’s matrimonial alliance to the Lu Family, with both daughters marrying into the Lu Family, especially Qiao Yi becoming the Lu Family’s housekeeper lady, the union was even tighter, bringing more benefits to the Qiao Family.
Zhao Wenjing was always a low-key person; faced with so many compliments in such an occasion today, it wasn’t strange to be a bit overwhelmed.
“Why are you coming down?”
Lu Yanchuan appeared out of nowhere, quietly standing behind Qiao Yi and giving her a fright.
“Somebody went and complained to Big Sister, saying I collided with your childhood sweetheart. How could I dare to be in somebody’s way!”
Qiao Yi inexplicably blurted this out, but she regretted it as soon as she said it.
She hadn’t planned to tell Lu Yanchuan what happened between her and Lu Xiaohua, but upon seeing Lu Yanchuan, she felt so wronged; the words just slipped out without thinking.
Lu Yanchuan furrowed his brows but said nothing; Qiao Yi saw his expression, humphed, and turned away to ignore him.
The banquet ended shortly after, and Qiao Yi, accompanying Lu Yanchuan, sent off the guests and was about to leave with Mr. and Mrs. Qiao.
But before Qiao Yi could get into the car, Lu Yanchuan pulled her into another car.
“What are you doing? You’re hurting me!”
Qiao Yi twisted her wrist but couldn’t free herself from Lu Yanchuan’s grasp and could only glare at him annoyed.
“I never said those things to Big Sister.”
“Say it or not, it’s no concern of mine!”
Qiao Yi, feeling irked, certainly wouldn’t let Lu Yanchuan feel good. Although her wrist was grabbed, she kept her distance, leaning far against the car door as if Lu Yanchuan had something unclean on him.
“Also, your childhood sweetheart is over there watching! Stop pulling and tugging at me; it’s indecent!”
