313 Assault

Although Qiao Ying had a torturous night, she didn’t feel too bad when she woke up.

She tried to drink a little warm milk from the thermos by her bed and she didn’t feel like retching. She patted her chest in confusion, that stuffy feeling was gone.

Her last memory was Qiao Yue bringing her back to bed and then falling asleep.

She stood up and felt much more relaxed.

How could this be?

She turned to look at the bedside table and saw a note. “Pack your bad and get dressed when you wake up. I’ll take you out for breakfast. Qiao Yue.”

Qiao Ying’s heart felt warm when she read the note.

Who knew that the person who cared most about her in the family was her fifth brother who was not even related to her by blood?

She quickly packed her bag and went downstairs, but she stopped at the foot of the stairs.

Qiao Xin and the third madam were sitting in the dining room, flanking Tao Xi like her left and right guardians.

Qiao Ying shrank back a little as she thought about the account book, but the sharp-eyed Tao Xi saw it.

“Qiao Ying, why are you hiding?” Tao Xi said with a smile. “Come and have breakfast.”

Qiao Ying had goosebumps all over her body. Since when did the first madam speak to her so nicely?

She was like the third madam and Qiao Xin in the past, ignoring her. It’s probably because of the account book.

As Qiao Ying moved back, a familiar nauseating feeling rose from her stomach.

“Alright, come and eat. Wasn’t it just a fight with your sister last night? You have an exam today, so hurry up and eat. Don’t be late.” The third madam walked up and pulled Qiao Ying towards the dining table.

Qiao Ying was in pain, but she couldn’t shake off her mother’s hand.

The third madam held her arm tightly. Qiao Ying could feel a small wound on her arm being torn apart.

Blood quickly seeped through her white shirt.

“Why are you so delicate now?” The third madam looked at the blood stain and violently rolled up Qiao Ying’s sleeve.

The original wound on her arm was applied with ointment. Some of the wounds that hadn’t scabbed over were wrapped in gauze, and there were needle marks on her acupoints. She must have received acupuncture treatment.

However, when the third madam saw the needle marks, she screamed. “Oh my God, Qiao Ying, when have you become a degenerate?”

Tao Xi also stood up and saw the needle marks on Qiao Ying.

No doctor had been called to the house yesterday, so it was impossible for Qiao Ying to have received acupuncture treatment. These needle marks… Could she have taken drugs?

Tao Xi grabbed Qiao Ying’s shoulder. “How could you do such a thing? Come, let’s go for a drug test.”

Qiao Ying pulled down her sleeve and looked at the two women in front of her.

They did not care about her feelings at all, even if they were family.

“What are you waiting for? Qiao Xin, quickly tie her up. Drug addicts might act crazy!” The third madam instructed.

The third madam even called over a few servants and ordered them to pin Qiao Ying down on the floor.

Tao Xi stood rooted to the ground as she watched the men assault Qiao Ying.

“What are you doing?”

A youth’s clear voice and a sharp pain in her scalp came together.

The third wife was grabbed by the hair and fell to the ground.

The third madam could feel the strength of the other person. It felt as if her scalp was being pulled off. The back of her head hit the floor and she felt like she was seeing stars despite the carpet.

“Who is it?” The third madam shouted.

Qiao Yue and Qiao Jing appeared in her field of vision.

Qiao Ren was behind them.

Tao Xi was stunned.

“Mom, I’ve already booked you a ticket. You can go to the Maldives this afternoon.”

Qiao Jing’s voice was so cold that Tao Xi was stunned.

“Mom is doing this for you and for the Qiao family.”

“That’s enough, Mom. This is not a reason for you and third aunt to bully Qiao Ying together.” Qiao Jing’s eyes were filled with disappointment as he looked at his mother.

Qiao Ren only looked at the injured Qiao Ying and did not look at Tao Xi even for a second.

“Qiao Ying, are you alright?” Qiao Yue helped Qiao Ying up.

Qiao Ying looked well. Qiao Yue heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the treatment last night worked.

“Fifth brother, second brother, let’s go. We still have an exam today.” Qiao Ying picked up her things from the floor and said to Qiao Yue.

Qiao Yue’s cold eyes swept over the third madam. “Third madam, you might want to watch your step.”
