Capítulo 993: Chapter 981: Schemes and Plots
Upon hearing Jin Yufei say this, Su Manhan felt somewhat troubled for a moment.
Third Miss Qiao had saved her before, and through these interactions, she could also feel that Third Miss Qiao was a very nice person, not the type to cause trouble or resort to violence as Jin Yufei claimed.
However, the Jin Family and the Zhan Family were indeed quite close, and Jin Yufei’s mother had a good relationship with her as well.
Now that Jin Yufei got hit in their Zhan Family and without figuring out what happened, it’s a bit unreasonable.
After thinking it over, Su Manhan still asked, “Xiao Jing, what exactly happened? Why did you hit Yufei?”
Hearing Su Manhan’s inquiry, Qiao Jing cast a cold glance at Jin Yufei and said word by word, “Her mouth is filthy, she deserved to be hit!”
In just five words, her words were imposing!
This domineering aura left the Zhan Family members momentarily stunned, feeling that this girl’s demeanor resembled Qiao Jing’s former self greatly.
For a moment, even Su Manhan’s heart couldn’t help but lean towards this girl who closely resembled Qiao Jing.
Jin Yufei seized the opportunity to egg on, “Aunt Zhan, did you see? Even in front of so many people, she dares to be so arrogant. Imagine how rampant she must have been when she hit me earlier!”
Su Manhan snapped back to reality, turned her head to Jin Yufei, and lightly coughed saying, “Yufei, Xiao Jing isn’t the type of person to be unreasonable. Did you perhaps say something too hurtful, which angered her? How about you try to explain properly and clear up the misunderstanding?”
As soon as these words were out, the three little ones vociferously chimed in.
“She definitely made Aunt Jing angry!”
“Grandma, make her apologize to Aunt Jing!”
“Yeah, apologize, apologize!”
Su Manhan and the little ones’ words instantly made Jin Yufei’s face turn extremely unsightly.
Even though she was the one who got hit, she had to explain and apologize to that ugly woman?!
Why on earth!!!
Fuming with rage, Jin Yufei looked toward Zhan Qipei, hoping he would speak up for her.
However, Zhan Qipei just stood indifferently to the side, not even sparing her a glance.
Seeing everyone siding with Qiao Jing, Jin Yufei was both furious and hateful, her expression nearly faltering.
Before her emotions could completely break down, she shot Qiao Jing a fierce glare and then stormed off in anger.
She vowed to make this ugly woman pay back for today tenfold!!
Watching Jin Yufei leave with a face like a color palette, Zhan Nanjing retracted her gaze and spoke, “Let’s head back in for dinner, otherwise the food will get cold.”
Hearing this, Su Manhan suddenly remembered something and slapped her thigh abruptly, “Oh dear! If you hadn’t mentioned it, I’d have almost forgotten, I still have soup simmering in the kitchen.”
After speaking, she hurriedly turned around and ran inside, worried that her soup was overboiling.
Afterwards, Qiao Jing was also dragged inside by the three little ones.
The group quickly sat down at the dining table, happily enjoying their dinner.
Unlike the cheerful atmosphere here, the Jin Family was filled with the cries of Jin Yufei calling for her parents.
As soon as Jin Yufei returned home, Mother Jin noticed her swollen red cheeks and urgently inquired about what happened.
This inquiry only made things worse. As soon as Jin Yufei was asked, she couldn’t help but recall the humiliation she suffered earlier, and immediately burst into tears, crying pitifully in her mother’s arms.
“Mom! You have to avenge me! That ugly woman Qiao Jing went to the Zhan Family again. She clearly intends to compete with me for Zhan Qipei. I merely warned her a bit, yet she hit me and even disfigured my face like this…”
“What? That ugly woman dared to hit you!”
Upon hearing that her daughter got hit, Mother Jin was instantly consumed with rage.
But while furious, Mother Jin also recalled one thing, “Our relationship with the Zhan Family isn’t shallow; did they really just watch that ugly woman bully you?”
“Mom, you don’t understand. For some unknown reason, that ugly woman has even got Zhan Qipei speaking up for her. Plus, those three little brats are all protecting her, even Aunt Zhan didn’t side with me… boohoo…”
The more Jin Yufei spoke, the more hatred and grievance she felt, bursting into another round of wailing.
Seeing her beloved daughter’s swollen, battered face and hearing her aggrieved cries, Mother Jin was overwhelmed with heartache, hugging and comforting her for a long while.
Once she cried enough, Jin Yufei wiped her tear-streaked face and gritted her teeth, saying, “Mom, you have to help me teach that woman a lesson. I can’t swallow this anger otherwise!”
Mother Jin was naturally filled with resentment as well, but finding a way to teach someone a lesson wasn’t so easy.
She furrowed her brows tightly, analyzing, “That ugly woman now has Xu Moqian backing her. If we use the same tactic as last time against the Qiao Family Company, they’ll certainly suspect the Jin Family very quickly.”
“Moreover, the Xu Family is not someone to offend. Truly offending the Xu Family would bring no benefit to our Jin Family. Besides, Xu Hongzu ranks as the second-largest agricultural magnate in our empire. Provoking such a figure could lead to unfavorable outcomes.”
Hearing Mother Jin’s words, Jin Yufei’s mood erupted again, “Then what should we do? Do we just let it slide like this? Wouldn’t those two slaps be in vain then!”
Seeing her daughter jump with anger, Mother Jin quickly assured her, “Of course not. Let Mom think it over. Mom won’t let you be bullied for nothing.”
After saying this, Mother Jin started racking her brains for a solution.
A moment later, she suddenly exclaimed, “I’ve got it!”
Hearing this, Jin Yufei immediately and eagerly asked, “Mom, did you think of a good plan?”
Mother Jin nodded and then leaned towards her daughter’s ear, whispering, “We can find a few people to make that ugly woman suffer a bit, thereby teaching her a lesson while ruining her reputation. Then let’s see how she competes with you for Zhan Qipei in the future!”
Jin Yufei was quite satisfied with this two-pronged approach and immediately urged, “Mom, go ahead and get it done quickly then!”
The thought of ruining that ugly woman Qiao Jing’s reputation made her restless with anticipation!
Mother Jin cautiously advised, “Don’t rush. Let Mom arrange it well. This matter must be carried out impeccably, leaving no trace or evidence to avoid anyone discovering we are the masterminds.”
After being reminded, Jin Yufei also understood that such matters should not be hastily pursued.
She gritted her teeth, a hint of malice flickering in her eyes.
Damn Qiao Jing, just you wait!
Whoever dares offend her, she would never let them off easily!
…
A few days later, inside the research institute.
Qiao Jing was busy in the cultivation room when her phone suddenly rang.
She took out her phone to see that it was a call from Zhou Fu, so she paused her work and directly answered the call.
As soon as the call connected, Zhou Fu’s voice came through the phone, “Haven’t seen you at Wonderful Hall recently, is there something going on?”
“Sorry, Master Zhou, I didn’t inform you in advance.”
Qiao Jing apologized first and then explained, “Actually, I joined Professor Qiao’s Research Institute a while back, and now I’m working here, so I haven’t been to Wonderful Hall.”
