Chapter 78 - 74: Everything According to Her

Qiao Yuxian’s face was dark, her fox-like eyes emitting a coldness. As soon as she finished speaking, the entire living room plunged into dead silence. Jiang Qingfeng turned pale, looking at her in shock, not only were his hands hanging by his sides trembling, but even the flesh on his face was shaking. Gu Yanjing also looked at Qiao Yuxian. Watching the side of her that was hidden beneath her usual obedience. Dark, evil, ruthless... Casually lethal, yet could take a life. "Qiao Yuxian!" Jiang Qingfeng shouted. Gu Yanjing looked at him. As his gaze fell on him, Jiang Qingfeng’s arrogance immediately vanished. He took a deep breath and his voice trembled uncontrollably as he spoke: "Mrs. Gu. Shouzhuo already knows his mistake, I’ve beaten him, and you’ve taken action yourself. Considering his youth, please spare him." "Beating him was because he deserved it," Qiao Yuxian said slowly, "Young? Who isn’t young? Those whose lives were ruined by your son, did you ever think of sparing them?" Jiang Qingfeng was speechless. "Even if I let people play him to death, it would be what he deserves." Qiao Yuxian looked at him and said. Jiang Qingfeng’s heart suddenly tensed, and he staggered back a little. He was dazed for a few seconds, then looked at Gu Yanjing. From beginning to end, Gu Yanjing’s expression remained cold, merciless, without any superfluous emotion. But his attitude made it clear that everything was up to Qiao Yuxian. Jiang Qingfeng was greatly shocked, feeling as if his heart was being gripped tightly, ready to be crushed at any moment. He never imagined Qiao Yuxian would marry Gu Yanjing. The forces behind the Qiao Family were Gu Yanjing. The Jiang Family had provoked the Gu Family. Even now, with only Gu Yanjing in the Jiang Family, and having summoned more than twenty people in the Jiang Family to their home. He dared not do anything to Gu Yanjing. He was well aware that someone of Gu Yanjing’s status and rank, if he dared to act, he and his son would not last two minutes. "Mr. Gu..." Just as he began to speak, Jiang Shouzhuo, who was curled up on the ground with no energy, suddenly got up and rushed directly towards Qiao Yuxian. Although Jiang Qingfeng seemed to have been harsh, he still couldn’t bear to really hit his own son. The father and son cooperated well, acting convincingly. Jiang Shouzhuo’s face was full of blood, hair disheveled, like a wicked ghost climbing out of hell, lunged directly at Qiao Yuxian. Qiao Yuxian’s expression turned sharp. Before she could react, Gu Yanjing had already lifted his foot and kicked him out. Jiang Shouzhuo was lifted off the ground and then thrown out, knocking over a cabinet next to the sofa, coughing up a mouthful of blood. This time he truly didn’t have the strength to move. Jiang Qingfeng immediately rushed over, knelt beside him, and held him, wiping the blood off his face: "Shouzhuo, Shouzhuo, how are you? How are you? Call an ambulance! Call an ambulance!" The Jiang Family members in the living room immediately called for an ambulance. Yuan Wei shook his head, thinking to himself: Gu Yanjing only used less than fifty percent of his strength. Jiang Shouzhuo just looked a bit miserable, suffered some external injuries, and endured some suffering. Recalling when Gu Yanjing beat him, the strength at that time... Yuan Wei silently took a breath, unwilling to reminisce. Qiao Yuxian looked at Gu Yanjing and then at her hand being held, then looked at Jiang Shouzhuo and said, "Yuan Wei, call the police." Yuan Wei looked at Qiao Yuxian: "Sis, Jiang Shouzhuo in this state..." "Mr. Jiang disciplining his son ended up like this, what does that have to do with us?" Qiao Yuxian looked at him and said, "He wanted to kill me. We kicked him in self-defense, what’s wrong with that?" Yuan Wei understood, curled the corner of his lips, and nodded, "Yes." Jiang Qingfeng, stroking Jiang Shouzhuo’s face, was completely worried about his son and didn’t hear what they were saying. Within less than half an hour, the entire Jiang Family lost its vitality and became gray and desolate. The living room, filled with black-clad bodyguards standing aside, added to the lifelessness. Gu Yanjing looked at Qiao Yuxian and said, "Shall we go?" "Mhm." Qiao Yuxian nodded. Gu Yanjing took her hand and left, Yuan Wei looked at them, and followed them out. Outside, the three stood by the car, Yuan Wei asked, "Sis, sending him to the police station seems too easy for Jiang Shouzhuo. Seeing what he’s done, I feel like cutting him into sticks piece by piece." Qiao Yuxian reached into her pocket but found nothing. She paused, took out her hand, and rubbed her fingertip, "In his situation, it won’t be better inside than outside. We don’t need to deal with it ourselves. Whether he can come out intact, or even live until he gets out, depends on his fate." Gu Yanjing stood aside, observing her small movements. Yuan Wei nodded, "Sis, you go back. I’ll handle the rest, including the police station and the victims." "Contact me if you need anything," Qiao Yuxian said. "Alright." Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing got into the car. Sitting in the car, Qiao Yuxian seemed absent-minded. Gu Yanjing saw she wasn’t moving, leaned over, and helped her fasten the seatbelt. Qiao Yuxian snapped back to reality, tilted her head, and said to Gu Yanjing, "Thank you." Gu Yanjing said nothing and started the car. Qiao Yuxian opened her laptop and replaced the CCTV footage of herself hitting Jiang Shouzhuo in the Jiang Family’s living room. After finishing, she placed her hand on the touchpad, moving the cursor back and forth across the screen. The car merged onto the main road, Gu Yanjing glanced at her and asked, "Where to?" Hearing his voice, Qiao Yuxian looked at him, and after a few seconds said, "I don’t know." She wanted to go back and check on Qiao Lech, yet was afraid. Qiao Lech’s plight was connected to her. Jiang Shouzhuo vented all his hatred for her onto Qiao Lech. She didn’t know how to face her father, Chen Hui, or Qiao Lech. Gu Yanjing looked forward, paused for a moment, then handed her his phone. Qiao Yuxian took it, puzzled as she looked at him. Gu Yanjing said, "Password 111007. The first call log is the doctor." Holding the phone, Qiao Yuxian’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. She then unlocked it and called the doctor. The call connected quickly, and the other party respectfully greeted, "Mr. Gu." Qiao Yuxian hastily pressed the speakerphone button and held the phone in front of Gu Yanjing. Gu Yanjing noticed her tightly shut mouth, then asked, "Have you been to the Qiao Family?" "I just got out," the man replied, "She’s physically fine. Some ointment for the external wounds is enough. It’s just that she was frightened, so it’s better for family to accompany her more and pay more attention recently. Or you could have a psychologist help with some counseling." Qiao Yuxian gripped her hand slightly. "Okay." Gu Yanjing took the phone and hung up. Placing the phone in the armrest box, he raised his hand to touch Qiao Yuxian’s face, "He’s skilled in traditional Chinese medicine, very good at it." Qiao Yuxian replied softly, leaning against the seat as if bound by the seatbelt. The harshness, coldness dissipated, she became dazed again, her eyes staring unblinkingly forward. After a while, she reached out and lightly tugged on the hem of Gu Yanjing’s shirt at his waist, "Gu Yanjing, take me back to the Qiao Family." Gu Yanjing lowered his eyes to her small hand and replied, "Mm."
