The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 223: Who Did You Take the Knife For?

"Is it really okay? That’s a knife wound." Qiao Jiezhe was extremely worried, his hands reaching out to unbutton his sister’s clothes to check her wound, but realizing the difference between genders, he withdrew his hands even though they were siblings.

"Really, Brother, you have to believe me. Ever since I had that dream, I’ve been very careful about my life! Qiao Yue’er deliberately brought these things up to stir up a dispute between me and dad, thus creating a rift! We must not let her get her way!" Qiao Qiqi seriously held her brother’s hand frozen in midair advising.

Everything that happened today was what she had already anticipated. After all, her parents had raised Qiao Yue’er for eighteen years; it’s impossible for them not to have feelings for her. Previously, they’d shown more love for her completely because of guilt, but how could they genuinely not love the child they raised?

In the end, it’s whoever is weaker that parents will tend to favor more.

Now she had turned from being the weak party to the strong one, whereas Qiao Yue’er had become the weaker one, and naturally, their parents would feel more for their other daughter.

Qiao Jiezhe thought carefully for a moment and said, "Sister, you’re absolutely right, no matter what we can’t let Qiao Yue’er have her way."

"That’s right, so in times like this, it’s not about going against the parents or leaving altogether, but you need to gradually expose Qiao Yue’er’s true colors, reveal her ugly true side, and let mom and dad understand she’s just an ungrateful wretch! Or you should change your approach to counteract Qiao Yue’er’s instigations and quest for favor in front of mom, maybe you’ll get a different result. It’s too unworthy to estrange yourself from mom and dad because of an outsider."

"Sister, I understand!" Qiao Jiezhe hadn’t figured out how to respond yet, but he felt his sister made a lot of sense; why should he keep letting his parents be taken away by an outsider!

"Brother, I’m glad you’ve come to your senses, go take a rest, you’re exhausted today, later we can go down for dinner."

The servants here weren’t the ones from before; they were hers, only taking orders from her.

"Is your wound really okay?" Qiao Jiezhe was still very uneasy.

"Really!" Qiao Qiqi assured him repeatedly.

"Who did you take the knife for exactly? What’s the deal with the savior, can you explain it to me?"

"..."

"Brother, can we talk about this later? I’m a bit tired now, want to rest a bit. You should also fix your hair so mom and dad won’t notice." Qiao Qiqi insisted on pushing him out.

"After dinner, you must tell Brother, you have to explain clearly!" Qiao Jiezhe was still worried as he was closed outside.

Turning around, Qiao Jiezhe saw Qiao Yue’er standing not far away, gazing at him deeply, making his skin crawl, unwilling to pay her any mind, he turned and walked away, Qiao Yue’er immediately followed.

Just as Qiao Jiezhe was about to close the door, Qiao Yue’er pushed it open, saying, "Brother, I have something to say to you."

"What is there left to say between us?" Qiao Jiezhe tried forcefully to close the door, Qiao Yue’er refused to move aside, her hand got pinched, and she cried out in pain.

Only then did Qiao Jiezhe open the door, folded his arms, and sneered, "This has nothing to do with me; you insisted on breaking in, but if you want to complain, be my guest."

"Brother, I... I really didn’t, I just wanted to tell you about Qiqi’s activities at school, don’t you want to know how Qiqi is doing at school?" Qiao Yue’er vigorously shook her pinched arm, frowned at him.
