An hour later, Qiao An arrived at the Qiao mansion on time, Zhou Yun sat her on the sofa and ordered the maid to bring a cup of hot tea.
But just as the tea was placed in Qiao An's hand, Qiao Xue pushed the maid's hand seemingly without thinking, so a cup of boiling tea was poured towards Qiao An's body without warning.
At the servant's cry of alarm, a flash of burning heat came from the back of Joanne's hand before the pain, her hand shaking uncontrollably as she gritted her teeth and got up.
The maid apologized, "I'm sorry Missy."
Josue laughed playfully from the sidelines, "It's okay, she's got thick skin."
Qiao An swallowed back the words that were about to come out, and followed the maid first to the bathroom to take a cool shower, the maid took the burn cream to her again and tossed it for ten minutes before Qiao An returned to the living room again.
She didn't know how many times she had experienced such a scene before, but because her eyes could see and her heart was always on alert, she didn't let Qiao Xue get away with it.
Today was an oversight on her part.
With her guide cane in her hand, she opened her mouth, "What is it that you want me back for?"
"There's a marriage between the Huo and Qiao families, and Xue'er doesn't want to marry, so you do it for her." Zhou Yun was rather open-minded.
Joanne froze for a full five seconds, "Why?"
"The person to marry is Huo Chengzhou, the second youngest of the Huo family, who has no money, no power, and two disabled legs, a more suitable match for you." Qiao Xue smiled, her tone extremely showy, "Anyway, I have brother Haoyan, we'll be engaged soon."
At the mention of Mu Haoyan, Qiao An inevitably thought of the voice she heard last night, and her blood churned as she clenched her fist, "Shameless!"
At that Qiao Xue slanted an eye over, her voice cold and grumpy, "Who are you calling shameless?"
"Who is shameless and who knows it in their heart." The expression on Qiao An's face was wrapped in cold silence, "Stealing someone else's boyfriend and sending that kind of audio to someone, only Qiao Xue in the world can do it!"
Qiao Xue snorted coldly, clasping her arms and looking askance at Qiao An mockingly, "Aren't you the same? Which man did you have a good time with last night? No wonder you didn't even live at home when you came back from abroad, so you were out there singing with men night and day ..."
Qiao Xue immediately complained to Zhou Yun, "She sent me a message in the middle of the night yesterday, and it was a man's voice, mom, don't you think it's strange!"
"Really?"
Josue nodded, "Of course, why else wouldn't she be living back home."
Zhou Yun gave Qiao An a disgusted look, "Hurry up and marry into the Huo family for me while this reputation of yours is still fresh."
"I'm not marrying." Joanne angled her head, "Why should I marry when it's Qiao Xue's union."
"Our Qiao family has raised you so much, this kindness alone is enough for you to pay back for the rest of your life." Zhou Yun clasped her arms, "How dare you say you won't marry? I'm giving you face!"
"I netted myself out of this family at 18 and never asked for a penny in my four years of college." Joanne shot back word for word, "All of it was earned by my efforts."
As soon as her words fell, there was suddenly a strong wind in front of her, and before she could react Zhou Yun had slapped her across the face.
"Don't think you can go against me now that your wings are stiff! Our Qiao family will always be your benefactor! Without our Qiao family, you wouldn't be where you are now!"
Joanne was slapped in the face by her solid slap, her whole body stumbled, holding onto the arm of the sofa she struggled to right herself, her face burning with pain.
She spoke stubbornly, "I will not marry."
