The next morning, the private doctor who was treating Qu Xiao had something else to do, so he asked the chauffeur to take her to the hospital for a checkup and change her dressing.
There was a traffic jam during peak hours. The driver held the steering wheel and the car crawled forward slowly like a snail.
Qu Xiao rolled down the car window and saw the towering office building of the Shang Group headquarters in the distance. She took out two photos with phone and sent them to Shang Yan.
She lazily scrolled through the screen, feeling a little disappointed that she did not receive a reply.
After leaving the hospital, Qu Xiao walked around the shopping mall in a good mood. She wanted to buy a gift for Shang Yan to thank him for his care and protection.
The chauffeur accompanied her to the shop. Qu Xiao picked up a light green shirt. She narrowed her eyes and smiled as she thought about how Shang Yan would look like in it.
The salesperson could tell that she was of high status and hurriedly invited her to the VIP room to see some limited edition clothes.
“Ma’am, are you buying a gift for your boyfriend? We can make some recommendations.”
Qu Xiao followed them to the private room and her eyes shone with happiness as she said sweetly, “It’s my husband.”
The salesperson nodded and congratulated her out of politeness.
Qu Xiao sat down and her phone suddenly rang.
She lowered her head and saw the Qu family’s number flashing on the screen. Frustration rose from the bottom of her heart.
The salesperson noticed and left immediately. Qu Xiao paused for a few seconds before asking coldly, “What’s the matter?”
“Qu Xiao! Go to the police station to withdraw the lawsuit and bring Ling Chi out. Now!”
Qu Xiao’s father roared angrily. The veins on his neck bulged and his fat belly trembled.
“Our project with the Ling family is still in the stage of contract signing. How could you sue him now?”
“If Ling Chi decides to break the contract, the Qu family will face a devastating loss. Can you possibly make up for it? Do you want to destroy our family?”
“You unfilial girl! Settle this as soon as possible. Don’t let me get another call from Ling Chi!”
His noisy voice made Qu Xiao’s ears feel numb.
She was surprised that Ling Chi would be so stupid as to use the Qu family to pressure her.
The original Qu Xiao might yield to her father, but it had no effect on her!
Qu Xiao leaned on the soft sofa and casually flipped through the album of new clothes.
She asked lazily, “Anything else?”
Mr. Qu was stunned. He looked at Qu Qi who was sitting opposite him and recalled that she had mentioned when she came back that Qu Xiao had changed a lot…
The buzzing sound came from the receiver. Qu Xiao kindly reminded him, “The Qu family’s loss has nothing to do with me.”
“If you want me to do something, you have to say something nice, right? For example, beg me… maybe I’ll consider it.”
Qu Xiao’s voice was clear and pleasant. She even sounded as if she was smiling.
Mr. Qu was so angry that he grabbed the glass vase and smashed it on the ground. He stood up suddenly and shouted angrily, “Qu Xiao! I dare you to say that again!”
“You piece of trash, do you think that you have Shang Yan’s support now?”
“I am your father! If you dare to talk to me like this, I will kick you out of our Qu family and make you…”
Qu Xiao could not be bothered to continue talking nonsense with him. She closed her eyes and press on her brows with her fingertips. “Kick me out? Really? Thank you then, Mr. Qu!”
“Later, I’ll send you the address of the Shang residence. When the lawyer drafts out the clauses and relevant information regarding the severing of kinship, you’d better send it over at once. Let’s get things done as soon as possible so that we don’t waste each other’s time.”
Click! Qu Xiao hung up decisively and took some breaths to regulate her emotions.
Her father stood on the spot in disbelief. He could not imagine that these words came from Qu Xiao.
Was this still the weak girl who did not dare to look him in the eye?
As Qu Qi admired her newly-made nails, she chuckled and said with a strange expression, “Dad, you see? Our family means nothing to Qu Xiao.”
“She dared to do this because she had Shang Yan to back her up. But think about it, if Shang Yan knows that she likes Ling Chi, would he still protect that sl*t who’s cheating on him?”
Qu Qi encouraged her father and continued, “When the Shang family kicks Qu Xiao out, she will definitely come back crying and apologize to you! She will have to endure whatever you want to do to her!”
When her father heard this, his eyes flickered. He found Shang Yan’s private number and cleared his throat before calling him.
