The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 221: That’s About Enough
Shen Ji looked at that pretty little face with such an obvious expression, feeling quite speechless. Everyone knows what really happened, just without evidence. The current law is presumed innocent until proven guilty, let alone the concerned party is still a minor.
"Miss Qiao, you might have some misunderstandings about me. I mean you no harm."
"Really? Then when you show some sincerity, I’ll see if I’m in the mood to believe you."
The elevator reached the first floor, and Qiao Qiqi was the first to step out. Qiao Jiezhe, feeling guilty, didn’t dare to look at Shen Ji and quickly followed his sister.
Shen Ji watched the backs of the siblings, his gaze deepened. It seemed he really couldn’t afford to offend this little girl; perhaps she was exactly the person he was looking for!
The news that the raw stone market produced more than a dozen top-quality jade pieces in a day shocked the entire circle.
People who got the news and wanted to buy jade immediately tried every means to contact Rong Yuan, so Rong Yuan quickly sold off those dozen pieces of jade, with a total value close to five hundred million.
Rong Yuan immediately transferred the money to Qiao Qiqi. He said, "If you want to acquire Tianxiang, I’m afraid this money won’t be enough."
Tianxiang Entertainment is one of the top in the country, worth at least tens of billions. If Qiao Qiqi truly wanted to acquire it, she would need to prepare at least ten billion, not to mention Tianxiang is a golden goose that the Yuan Family would definitely not want to sell.
Even he thought Qiao Qiqi’s idea was quite crazy.
"It’s almost enough."
"..."
When Qiao Qiqi and Qiao Jiezhe returned home, they saw Old Mrs. Qiao sitting in the living room watching TV. Upon seeing the siblings, she snorted coldly, showing her displeasure.
Qiao Yue’er was wandering around the first floor in pajamas, seemingly deliberately leaving her mark all over the house, also trying to assert her presence.
Seeing this made Qiao Jiezhe furious. He was more worried about his sister getting upset, but when he looked at Qiao Qiqi, she remained calm as always, not even lifting an eyelid, and went straight upstairs.
There was no way Qiao Yue’er would let Qiao Qiqi off so easily. She immediately ran over, saying, "Brother, Qiqi, I made tangyuan for you with my own hands. Mom and Dad have eaten some, you should try them too."
"No need, I’m afraid you’ll poison them!" Qiao Jiezhe looked at her with disgust.
Qiao Yue’er’s eyes instantly reddened, and seeing a figure coming down the stairs out of the corner of her eye, her tears started to fall, sobbing with grievance, "Brother, Qiqi, how can you think that way of me? I know you dislike me, but how could I possibly poison you, ooh ooh~"
"Jiezhe, what’s the matter with you, making your sister cry every time you come back!" Wu Lening came downstairs and immediately felt distressed upon seeing Qiao Yue’er crying. Today, Qiao Yue’er had been complaining to her, making Wu Lening feel she had suffered great grievances recently.
She even thought maybe Qiqi was overdoing it; after all, they’re family, why not let her sister move in?
She only hoped the three siblings could get along harmoniously.
When Qiao Jiezhe heard his mother’s words, he became extremely angry!
It had always been like this since they were children, and his mom always had this stance. He was so frustrated he wanted to argue with her, even felt the impulse to turn around and leave.
Qiao Qiqi reached out and grabbed her brother’s hand, shielding him behind her, and looked at their mother, "Mom, before you blame Brother next time, please find out the causes and effects of the situation first! It’s not whoever cries is in the right!"
"What causes and effects? I heard everything clearly just now. Yue’er kindly made tangyuan for you, and not only did you not eat them, you also accused her of poisoning!" Old Mrs. Qiao immediately stood up. She had tolerated these unfilial grandchildren for a long time.
