Strike Back, Proud Goddess!

“Are you sure?” Xiao Jing looked stunned at Qiao Liang. He didn’t expect that Qiao Liang had now decided to destroy Hongkun Group. “Are you sure you’re gonna destroy Hongkun Group?”

Qiao Liang looked at Xiao Jing with a chilly smile. “Then what do you think I’m doing this for?” He said as he played with Tang Xi’s fingers. “Not only Hongkun Group, but also anything else owned by the Lu Family. Those companies who funded Hongkun Group, or cooperated with Hongkun Group with the purpose to carve up the Qiao’s International Group will also be obliterated. I’ll let them see whether they will swallow the Qiao’s down or be swallowed down by the Qiao’s!”

Xiao Jing swallowed his saliva. “But it will take some time to solve all these companies, and we may be short of funds.”

Chief Mu sat there, pretended he didn’t hear anything and kept telling himself in his heart “You don’t hear anything! You are a tree that can’t see or hear! You don’t hear the two presidents of the Qiao’s International Group discussing how to destroy almost half of the companies in City A…”

Tang Xi looked at Chief Mu who kept wiping the sweat away from his forehead, pursing her lips sympathetically she tugged on Qiao Liang’s hand. The latter looked back at her and she signaled him to look at Chief Mu. Qiao Liang turned to Chief Mu, raised his eyebrows and said casually as if nothing happened, “A family problem. I’m sorry, Chief Mu.”

“Haha…” Chief Mu laughed awkwardly. “It’s alright. I didn’t hear anything.” God, it was merely a family problem to Qiao Liang to destroy half the companies in City A?

Seeing Chief Mu acting like he was sitting on pins and needles, Xiao Jing stopped talking with Qiao Liang and said goodbye to him before leaving. Seeing him leave, Tang Xi turned to Qiao Liang. “Are you really gonna stay here?”

Qiao Liang smiled and rubbed her hair. “Don’t worry about me. Go back to your school.”

Tang Xi frowned. “I don’t know what you’re thinking of doing. Anyway, I’ve asked for a leave. Let me accompany you to stay here. I’ll go to you home to see Aunt Qiao this afternoon. By the way, why didn’t you tell your plan to her? She must be worried if she sees the news!”

Qiao Liang looked at her affectionately and took her hand ignoring other people’s eyes, saying in a low voice, “Don’t worry. In fact, my mom is not as fragile as you imagine. She wouldn’t be able to make it through if she is really that fragile.”

Tang Xi was speechless.

She didn’t know how to persuade Qiao Liang. At this time, Chief Mu found an excuse and left. Tang Xi looked idly at Qiao Liang who kept tapping the keyboard, and frowned. “So are you going to live in the police station? You’ve become a hero in the eyes of the public. Will you still stay here?”

“I came here because I needed to talk with Chief Mu, and I’m about to meet another person here. After that, I’ll go abroad on business.” Qiao Liang looked up at Tang Xi. “Tang Xi, the business circle is too complicated. I need to clean it up. Now is a good chance.”

“You’re going abroad?” Tang Xi frowned. “You’re going abroad now? Are you really not worried at all?”

Qiao Liang smiled. “Xiao Jing will guard the company for me, so I’m not worried at all.”

Tang Xi paused and didn’t know how to refute him. She looked silently at Qiao Liang, when Qiao Liang’s cell phone rang. Taking a look at the caller ID, Qiao Liang hung up the phone. Seeing it was Lu Guangxiong, Tang Xi pursed her lips and said gently, “Okay, go about your business. I’m going to see Aunt Qiao. I can’t let her see the news.”

Gazing at her receding figure, Qiao Liang smiled. She really didn’t have to worry about his mom. She wouldn’t be easily frightened and she actually wasn’t that fragile.

Just as Qiao Liang expected, when Qiao Yuxin watched the news, she didn’t even bat an eyelid. The old butler was worrying Qiao Liang might suffer in the police station and she comforted him with a smile. “You don’t have to worry about him. As soon as he went to the police station, Lu Hongkun was arrested for intentional homicide. Do you really think Ah Liang will suffer?”

She knew her son well. He valued affection but wouldn’t easily forgive his enemy. He probably wouldn’t spare his father’s life this time.

With this in mind, Qiao Yuxin sighed. She operated the wheelchair, went to the French windows and looked at the boundless lawn, asking gently, “Butler, what do you think Ah Liang and I will be if I hadn’t married Lu Guangxiong? He wouldn’t have been so extreme and I wouldn’t have ended up spending the rest of my life in a wheelchair.”

The old butler was sorry for her. He came behind her and said, “Miss, what are you talking about? You didn’t do anything wrong. It’s Lu Guangxiong who is in the wrong. He was being ungrateful and returned kindness with ingratitude. It’s not your fault.Please don’t blame yourself. And…” The old butler looked at Qiao Yuxin’s legs and smiled. “As for your legs, didn’t Miss Xiao guarantee that she could make you stand up again? I think what she said is true.”

Qiao Yuxin smiled and nodded. “Okay, you’re right. I will forget about the past and live happily with my son. After my legs are healed, I’ll ask my son to marry Xiao Rou and wait for them to give birth to a cute baby.”

The old butler smiled with relief. “Now you look like the Miss I knew.”

Qiao Yuxin smiled, when a maid hurried in and said to the old butler, “Butler, a man came and insisted meeting Madam.”

Qiao Yuxin smiled coldly and looked back at the old butler. “It must be Lu Guangxiong. Let’s go and see how miserable this struggling underdog is.”

The old butler looked worried and said, “Miss, now you…”

Qiao Yuxin smiled again. “He made me like this. I know it and he knows it too, so I won’t feel inferior when I appear in front of him like this. Instead, he should be ashamed.” She paused and continued. “I’ll show him that after leaving him, I become more energetic instead of falling into despair, whereas he is nothing… without the Qiao Family’s backing!”

The old butler pushed the wheelchair out at her insistence. Qiao Yuxin got out of the door only to see Lu Guangxiong and the servants were pushing and shoving each other. Lu Guangxiong stopped as soon as he saw Qiao Yuxin.

Little Five ran over, shielded Qiao Yuxin behind him and squinted at Lu Guangxiong. “Mr. Lu, our young master has said you’re not welcomed here. Please leave!”
