The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 189 - 188: They Brought It Upon Themselves

Qiao Jiezhe was very troubled all night. He kept thinking about how much it would cost to take over Tianxiang Entertainment. Poor him, his pockets were empty; most of the money he had earned before was spent by his sister.

It was the first time Qiao Jiezhe felt truly poor!

Qiao Qiqi had no idea what her brother was thinking; after eating, she used studying as an excuse to return to the study room. As for her previous room, it had already been contaminated, and she would not stay there.

Qiao Jiezhe learned about what happened that day from the servants. After hearing it, he was furious; he knew immediately that it was that bastard Qiao Jixuan trying to harm his sister. Fortunately, his sister was safe in the end, but it was Qiao Yun’er who had bad luck!

He also had no good feelings towards this cousin Qiao Yun’er, especially since she couldn’t be innocent in this matter.

Qiao Jiezhe suddenly recalled the day his sister asked him if he thought she was bad. Could it be because of this incident?

At that time, he thought his sister was talking about the prank on his uncle and aunt.

Now it seemed that his sister already knew Qiao Jixuan and his sibling did not have good intentions toward her.

Qiao Jiezhe knocked on the study door; Qiao Qiqi had just finished bathing and was planning to do something. When she opened the door and saw her brother, she smiled and asked, "You wouldn’t want to sleep with me again, would you?"

"I’m here to bring you a bird’s nest; eating more bird’s nest is good for your skin. Those female vampires from Uncle’s family used to eat it daily!" Qiao Jiezhe came in with a bowl of bird’s nest.

Qiao Qiqi felt like laughing at his characterization of those people; she had to admit it was quite apt.

She picked up the bird’s nest and started eating. It truly was a good thing; Auntie used to not touch anything but blood red bird’s nest. As for now, she probably would fight for dog food.

Qiao Qiqi’s mood brightened as she thought about the woman locked in the basement!

"Why not dry your hair? You’ll catch a cold, I’ll help you dry it." Qiao Jiezhe immediately got up to find a hairdryer.

"No need, brother, no need to bother. If it’s still wet later, I’ll dry it myself." Qiao Qiqi quickly stopped him.

Qiao Jiezhe sat back down, staring at his sister’s pretty little face. Her face was truly small, seemed only as big as his palm, with eyes and brows beautiful beyond disbelief. He had never seen a girl prettier than his sister.

"Brother, do you have something to say?"

"Sis, it’s useless brother. Not only can I not protect you, I’m also poor, can’t help you." Qiao Jiezhe had a face full of guilt; it was the first time he felt truly useless.

"..."

"I already know, about Qiao Jixuan and Qiao Yun’er."

"I did it, but brother, I don’t think I was wrong. Qiao Jixuan’s insidious plan, Qiao Yun’er knew about it too! She deserved it!" Qiao Qiqi snorted coldly, gently stirring the bird’s nest with her spoon.

"I know, she deserved it! I just feel useless, letting you face such dangerous matters."

"Don’t blame yourself; if it wasn’t for my vigilance against them, who would have thought they would be so heartless! To do such inhumane things!" Qiao Qiqi shook her head.

"Sister, you... you seem to have changed a lot." Qiao Jiezhe didn’t actually want to ask, didn’t want to ruin the relationship with his sister, but he was genuinely puzzled by her drastic changes.

"Brother, I’ll be honest with you. Actually, I had a dream—a dream where our whole family, dad, mom, you, and me were all killed! Ever since that dream, I’ve been scared. I’m afraid the things in the dream will become real, so I took action first. But I swear, I never intentionally harmed anyone; they brought it upon themselves!" Qiao Qiqi knew there would be doubts, so she had planned on how to explain.
