311 Qiao Ying’s Background

Qiao Xin grabbed Qiao Ying’s collar and pulled her up from the ground. “Seventh sister, you know that we’re family, right?”

She loosened her grip and helped Qiao Ying adjust her collar. Qiao Ying kept trembling.

“We don’t need to explain too much to her. Now that we have the account books, we’ll just alter them.”

The third madam took the account books and threatened Qiao Ying, “Don’t tell Qiao Yue about us altering the accounts. Do you keep a softcopy on your computer? Give me your flash drive, I’ll change that too.”

Qiao Ying shook her head violently but Qiao Xin was one step ahead of her. She had already taken the USB flash drive from Qiao Ying’s pocket.

Qiao Ying tried to snatch it back but was smacked to the ground by Qiao Xin.

“That’s enough, Qiao Ying. You should prepare for tomorrow’s exam. I’ve overseen the accounts for so many years, so I know them better than you. You should have a good rest.” The third madam left the room with Qiao Xin.

As soon as the two of them left, Qiao Ying rushed to the toilet and continued to retch.

But she had already thrown up all the food she had eaten. She lay next to the toilet bowl, feeling sick.

Why? Qiao Xin and her were both the third madam’s children. Why was she treated so unfairly?

Her second and fifth brothers were the people who treated her the best in this family.

Qiao Ying curled up in a corner of her bathroom and started crying.

Meanwhile, Qiao Yue was still awake. She was in the shower.

Suddenly, a few dialog boxes popped up on her computer screen. They were all documents from her account folder.

To ease management of the household accounts, Qiao Yue had uploaded all the accounts on her computer and even designed her own accounting software.

The dialog boxes showed that someone was altering the accounts.

Qiao Yue walked out of the bathroom and looked at the dialog boxes on her computer screen with narrowed eyes.

She typed a command on her computer and pulled up the IP address of the dialog boxes.

It was Qiao Ying’s IP address. The dialog boxes were invoked from Qiao Ying’s computer. Qiao Yue frowned. Was Qiao Ying altering the accounts in the middle of the night?

Qiao Yue typed a few more commands on her computer.

These forcibly turned on the camera on Qiao Ying’s laptop, and the third madam’s face appeared on her computer screen.

The third madam was cursing as she altered the accounts.

Qiao Yue plugged in her headphones to hear what the third madam was complaining about.

“This little b*tch Qiao Ying only knows how to cause trouble with Qiao Yue every day. If I had known this earlier, I would have let her die in the hospital that year.”

“We can’t let Qiao Yue find out that these accounts have been altered. If he tells the old master, our family will be finished.”

Qiao Xin sat beside her mother and watched impatiently. “Mom, when can we kick Qiao Ying out of the family? I can’t take it anymore. How can someone like her be a young miss of the Qiao family? And that Qiao Yue, he’s a b*stard too.”

Wasn’t Qiao Ying the third madam’s biological daughter? What did the third madam mean by that?

Qiao Yue was a little confused. Could Qiao Ying be like her, and had a mysterious background?

Qiao Yue continued to wear her headphones while she stared at her screen to see what the mother and daughter were up to.

The third madam was not very proficient in accounting. All she did was to make up a few line items to account for the deficit and alter a few lines of expenses. If the accounts were audited, the amendments she made would be considered illegal.

Qiao Yue wasn’t in a hurry to correct things. She just clicked a button to start recording her screen.

“If your brother hadn’t died back then, why would I randomly buy a baby?” The third madam said through gritted teeth. “This little b*tch! All I wanted to do then was to fool the old master. Who knew that she would cause so much trouble?”

“Mom, when push comes to shove, let’s just reveal the mystery surrounding her birth. I don’t think anyone in the family would accept her.”

“Why not? Look at Qiao Yue. His mother is just the old master’s adopted daughter, yet he can interfere in our family matters! Even if the old master found out about Qiao Ying’s identity, he won’t kick her out.”

Qiao Yue was shocked when she heard this.

As expected, Qiao Ying was not the third madam’s biological daughter. No mother would treat her two children so differently.

Qiao Yue only felt sad for Qiao Ying.

Qiao Ying was a very good girl. Regardless of whether they were related by blood, she had always considered Qiao Ying her sister.

At this moment, Qiao Yue suddenly thought of something terrible. If Qiao Ying’s laptop was with the third madam, where was Qiao Ying?

Did they snatch Qiao Ying’s laptop?
