Chapter 72 Blaming and Complaining
Facing the sunset, Qu Xiao walked out of the villa in a good mood.
“Why are you here?”
Qu Qi happened to bump into Qu Xiao while holding Qu Zhen’s arm affectionately. She immediately put on an unhappy expression and stared at the book in Qu Xiao’s hand. “Household register? Shang Yan already wants to divorce you?”
Listening to Qu Qi’s mocking laughter, Qu Xiao stared at her with a calm expression.
Qu Xiao shook her head and said, “Are you stupid?”
Hearing that, Qu Qi got extremely angry. Just as Qu Qi stepped forward, Qu Zhen saw the transfer application and asked, “Xiao, you want to go to high school? But at your age, you will definitely encounter a lot of difficulties and discrimination.”
“I have friends in several universities. If you want, I can ask them to send you an admission letter to their universities.”
When Qu Qi heard this, she held her stomach and laughed, “Someone who failed the university entrance exam wants to take it again?”
“You’ll only embarrass our family!”
Yang Mei and Mr. Qu heard the argument in the courtyard and had already stood up and walked outside.
Qu Xiao didn’t want anymore trouble, so she quickly put away the documents and whispered to Qu Qi, “Two days ago, when Miss Zhang came over, she said that your grades were dropping like a precipice. Focus on yourself instead of others!”
After Qu Xiao said that, she pushed Qu Qi who was blocking the way away and left.
When Yang Mei saw Qu Zhen, she immediately ran to her and said a caring tone, “You’ve only just recovered. Don’t stand outside for too long! Dad and I have good news to tell you!”
Mr. Qu said with joy, “Qu Xiao agreed to give you a management position in the group just
now.”
Qu Zhen blinked in confusion and said in an extremely soft voice, “You know about it too? Xiao sent me the entry notice last night. I don’t understand the job scope of management, so I asked her to help me get a position in the pharmaceutical department.”
“Wait! Last night?”
Confused, Yang Mei held Qu Zhen’s elbow and asked her explain how this came about.
“That unfilial daughter, she had already agreed to give you a position earlier? She played us like fools!”
Only then did Yang Mei and Mr. Qu understand Qu Xiao’s plan. They slapped their knees in regret.
Qu Qi recalled Qu Xiao’s recent abnormal actions and became even more jealous of Qu Xiao. She gripped the back of the sofa tightly and muttered to herself in silence, “Everything she took from the Qu family, I will make her pay back double!”
“No, I can’t just let her go like that! I have to get the shares of the group back!”
With that, Qu Qi grabbed her coat and car keys and ran out, heading straight for the hospital.
Back at the hospital, Qu Xiao had brought sushi from Shang Yan’s favorite Japanese restaurant back to the hospital. When she pushed open the door of the ward, she saw Shang Liqing standing by the bed with hostility in her eyes, as if she wanted to swallow her whole.
Shang Liqing glared at Qu Xiao with hatred in her eyes. “It’s all because of you! If it weren’t for you, second brother wouldn’t have suffered such a serious injury!”
“He even hid it from the family for you, afraid that Grandpa and the others would blame you…”
“You didn’t fulfill your responsibility to take care of second brother as his wife. I want to tell Grandpa about this matter so you two will have to get a divorce!”
Qu Xiao listened to Shang Liqing’s criticism silently. She put the sushi on the bedside cabinet and carefully adjusted the height of the bed for Shang Yan.
She tilted her head and looked at Shang Liqing. She asked in a light tone, “What about you? As Shang Yan’s sister, have you found a doctor for him? Have you thought of a way to treat his legs? Have you gone to the villa every week to visit him and chat with him? Have you gone to the company to help him with his work?”
“Not only have you not done any of that, but you also always ask Shang Yan for help whenever you cause trouble.” Seeing Shang Liqing’s increasingly red face, the corners of Qu Xiao’s lips curled up as she spoke slowly, “The relationship between Shang Yan and I is none of your business and not for you to comment on. I am only letting you off this easily because you are Shang Yan’s younger sister, but you better not go overboard!”
Shang Liqing was intimidated by Qu Xiao. She stomped her feet as she looked at Shang Yan, trying to get him to back her up.
Shang Yan did not seem to see her request for help. He held Qu Xiao’s hand and said gently, “Thank you for everything.”
“Second brother! You are clearly brainwashed. Qu Xiao got close to you for a reason. She wants to covet our family’s property! Don’t be deceived by her! Why are both Shang Xinchen and you bewitched by her!”
Shang Liqing recalled the change in Shang Xinchen’s attitude towards Qu Xiao and mumbled anxiously
