"So late, and you still know to come back Where have you been loitering" The middle-aged man grumbled coldly, only raising his head to glance at Qiao Shancun once.

"Dad, Qiao Jing is back," Qiao Shancun said softly with his head lowered.

The middle-aged man sitting there showed no reaction until half a minute later when he nearly jumped up as if shocked by electricity: "What You say Qiao Jing is back"

Qiao Shancun nodded: "Yes."

"You damn fool, have you drunk too much and are talking nonsense here" The middle-aged man trembled all over upon hearing that name, a vicious light flashing in his eyes. He then cursed, “I’ve told you countless times not to mention this name!”

The middle-aged man seemed filled with extreme resentment when he heard the name! It was as if the person who owned the name had caused him profound pain!

This middle-aged man’s name is Qiao Chenglin. He ranks third in his family, and also happens to be Qiao Shancun's father.

Qiao Chenglin frowned slightly before saying: "Damn it! Tomorrow the Young Miss of the Shangguan Family will arrive. You still haven’t prepared yourself properly; how can you have such a stench of alcohol The gap between you and Qiao Shanxing is already so large that you can never hope to catch up with him openly. If you seize this opportunity, win the favor of Miss Shangguan PoPo, then it’s not impossible for you to surpass him later on! With the backing of the Shangguan Family, you could become the number one man in the Qiao family in the future!"

Looking at his son, Qiao Chenglin seemed frustrated and disappointed.

"Dad, have you finished" Qiao Shan存在 a hint of pity in his gaze, "Dad, are you afraid"

"I'm afraid What am I afraid of" Qiao Chenglin scoffed and his eyes flickered.

"You immediately switched the subject. The more you talk, the more frightened you seem to be inside, Dad, you're truly scared."

"Damn it!" Qiao Chenglin suddenly smacked the bedside table: "Stop saying nonsense! Go back to bed and sleep properly! Make a good impression on上官詩詩tomorrow! If you let Qiao Shanxing get ahead of you, I'll put you under house arrest when I return!"

"Dad, what I said is true. Qiao Jing didn't die; she's back," Qiao Shanxun stood rooted to the spot, his eyes showing a barely perceptible trace of despair as he felt completely helpless against this woman’s strong comeback.

"Son, stop talking nonsense! Don’t you know what your dad detests most" His mother quickly tugged at his arm in an attempt to dissuade him.

"No, I must tell the truth. When something or someone is right before our eyes, we can't escape from it!" Qiao Shanxun brushed off his mother’s hand and continued on his own: "Dad, I saw her today; she hasn’t changed much over the years, still as flamboyant as ever. There was a man with her who beat up both Qiao Xuebing and Tong Leng."

"Are you sure about this" Qiao Chenglin asked dubiously: "Did you drink too much"

"Of course, why would I lie to you" Qiao Shanxun smiled bitterly: "At this point, how could I not be aware of the severity of this matter Would I joke about something so serious"

Qiao Chenglin didn't speak anymore. He leaned back and stared straight ahead, his eyes occasionally flickering as if he was lost in thought; perhaps images of Qiao Jing from years ago had surfaced in his mind.

After a long while, Qiao Chenglin muttered to himself, "How could this happen How could this happen Isn’t she already dead"

"Tong Shu said that she was dead, forced to jump off the cliff and commit suicide, right And there wasn’t any body found." Qiao Shanzen stepped forward and asked.

"Yes, that’s exactly it. Are you suspecting that Tong Qigang is lying to us" A glint of sharpness flashed across Qiao Chenglin's eyes: "No, Tong Qigang wouldn't lie."

"Who said he doesn’t lie Blind optimism won’t help," Qiao Shanzen coldly sneered. "He’s followed you for decades. But has he ever told you how he lost his left hand"

Qiao Chenglin's body trembled violently, and he sat up straight, staring at Qiao Shanzen, enunciating each word clearly: "Tell me everything that happened to you today. Don’t leave out a single detail!"

Fifteen minutes later, Qiao Chenglin leaned back against the sofa again. At this point, he realized that his body was drenched in sweat and his pajamas were completely soaked through!

Qiao Shanzen’s mother had long since collapsed to the ground with a blank expression on her face.

"The power of fear is truly limitless," Qiao Shanzen bitterly smiled and shook his head, saying: "Actually, you should have expected this day to come. She isn’t anyone else; she’s Qiao Jing."

“So what She left the Qiao family many years ago, cutting off all ties, and now that she has returned, how could there be any waves” After the initial shock and fear, Qiao Chenglin regained his composure. However, whether or not he was as calm on the inside as it appeared on the surface remained to be seen.

Having personally witnessed today’s events involving Qiao Jing, unlike his father, Qiao Shanzen was far less confident: "Don’t think that way. She is Qiao Jing; if she dares come back, it means she must have extraordinary means at her disposal. Don't take anything lightly."

"This is something you don't need to worry about!" Qiao Chenglin slapped the bedside: "Go back to sleep! You must make a good impression on Shanshan上官詩詩 tomorrow!"

"Dad, I'm a man. Even if the上官family is prestigious, our Qiao family isn’t much weaker either. Are you asking me to become an上門女婿(male bride) for the上官family" Qiao Shanxun's face was tinged with bitterness: "How can men of the Qiao family need to do this"

"What do you know! Get out! Get out! Just seeing your useless self makes me angry!" Qiao Chenglin swore at him, completely venting his anger on Qiao Shanxun.

"Dad, I'll remind you once more. This matter isn't as simple as it seems; you'd better talk to Uncle Er and the others," Qiao Shanxun said before turning around and slamming the door shut as he left.

After Qiao Shanxun left, his mother asked: "Chenglin, do you think what Shanshun said is true If Qiao Jing comes back, she will surely come for revenge over that incident from years ago. What should we do"

Qiao Chenglin didn’t answer right away but remained silent for half an hour before saying: "This matter isn't trivial; I need to make a call to my second brother."

The woman said in shock, “Call him Are you going to work together again because of Qiao Jing this time”

"Perhaps it's destiny. Back then, he and I cooperated against Qiao Jing, but after our common enemy fell, we couldn't continue working together. Now his son Qiao Shanxing is overshadowing my son Qiao Shanxun. From this perspective, I am at a disadvantage, almost permanently,"

The woman nodded; she understood all of this. Today, Qiao Shanxing was flourishing and far surpassed even his father, the second eldest in the Qiao family back then, making it nearly impossible for Qiao Shanxun to defeat him.

"However, if Qiao Jing really does come, then Shanshun's chances of turning things around will greatly increase!" Qiao Chenglin clenched his fists as though he had thought up a sinister plan. event, stating that under no circumstances could they be reduced. They had no choice but to follow his instructions."You don't need to worry about this. Just focus on making good food. With such expe...
