Qiao Qing froze again. She then reached up and patted his head, “I’m used to doing everything myself. After today, you can deal with all the messes, okay?”
Jun Yexuan’s eyes glistened, “Really?”
Qiao Qing nodded, “Really.”
Jun Yexuan had no idea that the only mess he would be cleaning up in the future was to get rid of all the men Qiao Qing attracted.
That never changed even after they got married. Every day, Jun Yexuan soaked in jealousy.
At the same time, the news of Xia Shixiong’s death had circulated around the country. Many friends and family had e to visit the Quan manor.
Jiang Che sped his way to the Xia family. There, she found Xia Houshang in all black and was crying in front of a picture of her father.
Beside her, Xia Shixiong laid cold in a casket. The grayness on his face has made it obvious that he had died.
Jiang Che’s brain buzzed. He grabbed Xia Houshang’s arm and demanded, “What happened to uncle Xia? He was fine two nights ago!”
The look of hatred flashed across Xia Houshang’s face once she heard this familiar voice.
The reason she was where she was was partly due to this person.
If it weren’t for the fact that he looked down on her and refused to give her the antidote, she never would’ve…
The thought of that made Xiao Houshang dig her nails into her palms.
When she looked up at Jiang Che however, she appeared pitiful.
“Have you not read the news? It’s Qiao Qing! She failed to kill me so she killed my father in anger! I am going to get revenge!”
Of course, Jiang Che saw the news but he never believed it for a second. On the contrary, he had a lot of questions, “How do you know she’s the one who killed your dad? You found evidence?”
“Who else could it be!?” Xia Houshang yelled, “You may not respect my decisions, but who is she to you?! How can you protect her at a time like this?”
“She’s the only nemesis the Xia family’s ever had. This house is also heavily guarded. Despite so, my father died in my home.”
“She’s the only one with the motive to kill my father. She’s also the one skilled enough with martial arts to sneak into this house to kill him and wipe out all the evidence! You also saw how she seriously wanted to kill me!”
Jiang Che’s heart dropped. That part was true. Back when Qiao Qing shot at Xia Houshang, the killer’s intent in her eyes was dense.
However, he couldn’t be convinced that Xia Houshang was right.
“If her original intention was to kill you, why would she sneak into your house to kill your dad, and not you?”
Xia Houshang’s voice weakened as she whispered, “I wasn’t home! You know what was happening to me! My dad put me outside to clear my head.”
Since she was talking about the secret affair, Jiang Che didn’t think the whispering was suspicious. However, he didn’t stop frowning.
“She may be the most suspicious, but without evidence, you cannot draw the conclusion that she murdered your father.”
Xia Houshang almost bit off her own teeth, “I never said I wanted her punished by the law right away! She’s a suspect so she should be questioned for it! She shouldn’t be hiding like a turtle!”
Despite her words, all she could think about were the ways she could torture Qiao Qing once she came.
If Qiao Qing refused to admit her crimes, Xia Houshang would beat her until she says otherwise!
Xiao Houshang’s eyes were hidden by her bangs so Jiang Che didn’t see the amount of hatred there. Confused, he asked, “So you are trying to force her to e out?”
