Chapter 902: Made Qiao Xuan Laugh

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

County Magistrate Yang was taken aback – he hadn’t anticipated Qiao Xuan to be so impolite.

Qiao Xuan glanced at his startled expression, noting his old-fashioned and arrogant demeanor. She couldn’t help but feel relieved that their marriage had not come to pass; otherwise, it would have been an utter disaster.

“Officer Yang, is there anything else? If not, I’ll take my leave.”

County Magistrate Yang couldn’t tolerate it any longer. “Second Miss, you seem to have a sharp tongue. You must be quite fortunate. You lack the understanding of proper parenting and should not be ignorant of the responsibilities of raising a child.”

County Magistrate Yang was raised by his grandmother and his mother, and he was a very filial person. He did not like what Qiao Xuan said about filial piety.

Qiao Xuan almost burst into laughter.

What did he truly know? Did he think that merely uttering the words “filial piety” gave him the right to point fingers and pass judgment?

If this man had been born in the modern era and had access to a keyboard, he would have been a force to be reckoned with!

Qiao Xuan responded frankly, “Officer Yang, what do you actually know? Why do you feel entitled to dictate my actions?”

“You…”

“In the harsh winter, I had to survive on leftovers. When I fell ill, I had to take care of myself. On the surface, I had maids attending to me, but in reality, 1 had to fetch my own bathwater, little by little. Even the elderly women in the household would humiliate me in front of everyone! My so-called sister would taunt me when she was in a good mood, and when she was displeased, she would scold me and take out her frustrations on me. My so-called father only lectured me a few times a year, and he never showed any affection towards me. He never valued me, Officer Yang, can you not see the absurdity in expecting me to respect such a father?”

County Magistrate Yang was taken aback. He had no knowledge of these circumstances, nor could he fathom them.

His grandmother and mother had always taken care of him.

He found it hard to believe that the amiable Officer Obo and the kind-hearted Madame Qiao could be the kind of people that Qiao Xuan described.

Moreover, he was the county magistrate, and he couldn’t afford to make a mistake in front of his ex-fiancée, Qiao Xuan.

“Isn’t that so? The world is filled with parents who fall short, as the sages have said. Regardless of what has happened, they have provided for you and raised you, and that is a significant favor,” Officer Yang insisted firmly.

“But Officer Yang, it seems you have forgotten that I am their daughter, not an unrelated outsider. It is their duty to raise me well! They have not fulfilled their responsibilities adequately,” Qiao Xuan retorted.

“You’re just making excuses!” County Magistrate Yang retorted, his anger flaring up. “That’s not right!’

Qiao Xuan took a deep breath, as if she were ready to roll up her sleeves and give this man a good scolding. She wanted to see if he had any sense in his head.

But no, she couldn’t waste her time arguing with someone like him.

What was the point of their conversation anyway? Was he trying to make himself noticed?

Qiao Xuan was about to leave when Madame Qiao and Madame Tang emerged with the maids and aunts.

Everyone’s attention was immediately drawn to them.

Madame Tangs expression changed, and she took a few steps forward. “Xuan, what are you discussing?”

Madame Tang glanced at Qiao Xuan with a sharp and cautious look, as if Qiao Xuan were trying to seduce her son.

Madame Qiao, on the other hand, couldn’t hide her satisfaction, but she sighed with a tone of reproach. “Xuan, how could you bother Officer Yang? It’s highly inappropriate! Officer Yang, I apologize on behalf of Xuan.. I’m sure she didn’t mean any harm!”
