BXBX NOVEL Chapter 26 - 26 Kneel Down!
Having been wounded so many times, Qiao Yin’s heart had already begun to numb; yet her mind was sharper than ever: “Am I destitute? Even if I had to beg, that would still be self-reliance, unlike those women who leech off other people’s husbands.”
“She’s exquisite? Her excellence is built on my pain!”
“Madam Lu, next time you want to belittle me, you better find someone who’s blameless, or you will be disgracing yourself.”
Madam Lu was nearly knocked out by her words, she pointed at Qiao Yin, and said to Qiao Haidong: “Look at the wonderful daughter you’ve raised, who dares to talk to her mother-in-law like that! I only wanted what was best for her. I only wished she presented herself elegantly. Is that so wrong? Not only does she not appreciate me, she humiliates me and disrespects the Lu Family. We can’t accept such a daughter-in-law, hurry up and take her away!”
Qiao Haidong quickly stood up, forcefully pushing Qiao Yin: “How did I raise you? I taught you to be filial to your in-laws, and you merely brushed it off? Kneel down and apologize to your mother-in-law!”
Qiao Yin almost fell from his push!
She was saved from falling to her knees before Madam Lu by supporting herself on the nearby tea table.
No matter how Madam Lu treated her, she never felt hurt, after all, she was an outsider.
But her biological father treating her this way brought forth unstoppable tears, she slowly stood up, looking shockingly and disappointingly at Qiao Haidong: “You want me to kneel to her?”
Qiao Haidong, realizing that she was being disobedient, and that his authority as a father was challenged, barked: “When I tell you to kneel, you kneel. Stop speaking so much! Madam Lu is your mother-in-law, you should address her as ‘mother.’ With you shouting at her so disrespectfully, kneel down!”
Qiao Yin’s tears fell, but her spirit remained strong: “I indeed kneel to my mother every year, but she has passed away. And may I ask, has my mother-in-law passed away as well?”
Everyone took a sharp gasp!
Madam Lu was shaking with anger, she picked up a tea cup and threw it at Qiao Yin’s head: “Qiao Yin, how dare you? You cursed me to die?”
The distance was too close, and Qiao Yin couldn’t dodge, she was struck and a strong pain throbbed on her forehead, followed by a flow of blood.
Qiao Yin spoke coldly: “Madam Lu, intentionally inflicting harm is illegal, if you want a tour of the police station, I can call the cops right now!”
“You dare to threaten me? You hit my son, that’s illegal too., I’m just taking revenge for my son. Dare to call the police!”
Qiao Yin couldn’t help but find that both infuriating and amusing: “When did I hit Lu Lingche? His injury has nothing to do with me!”
“I knew you wouldn’t admit it, you haven’t told a shred of truth. You’re both hypocritical and evil, my Lingche marrying you is the biggest bad luck for him!”
“I was first hit by the evil mother-in-law, then falsely accused of hitting my husband. The Lu Family appears glamorous outside, but its inside is so dark. Those who marry into your family are the ones who truly have bad luck.”
Qiao Haidong was livid, “Qiao Yin, shut up and get lost! Who invited you? I was having a nice conversation with Madam Lu, what are you here to disrupt?”
“Madam Lu sent me a message, saying you’re here to borrow money again, and I came to take you away. The money is clearly not available, why are you not leaving?”
Lan Yuyi quickly tried to smooth things over: “This is a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding. Uncle Qiao doesn’t want to borrow money, he came to discuss a collaboration. Miss Qiao, you’re being a bit too harsh, could you apologize to Aunt Yao? We’re all family, let’s not fight because of me. To be honest, it’s all my fault, if you want to scold someone, scold me, don’t drag Aunt Yao into this, alright?”
Qiao Yin’s gaze finally settled on her: “What kind of collaboration? The Qiao Family is already bankrupt, the company has shut down, there doesn’t seem to be anything worthy of your collaboration, Miss Lan..”
