The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 567 - 531: Sheng Chendong’s Father

Qiao Yuxian didn’t contact Zhao Shimeng in advance.

Instead, she suddenly came over.

Just to let her know.

What she’s doing, where she’s going, who she’s meeting.

She knows it all.

Casually, she can find her.

"Your family?" Zhao Shimeng suddenly asked with some excitement.

Qiao Yuxian looked at her without speaking.

Zhao Shimeng said, "Who is your family? Qiao Zhiang? Qiao Lech? Or Chen Hui?"

"They all are," Qiao Yuxian replied seriously.

Zhao Shimeng didn’t speak, her expression became a bit distorted.

Qiao Yuxian didn’t speak either.

The car was quiet for a while, then Zhao Shimeng spoke: "Qiao Yu didn’t grow up with you either. I know, I’m inadequate. But as a father, he is equally inadequate. So why do you treat Qiao Lech as your sister while being so harsh on An He?"

"What do you think?" Qiao Yuxian retorted.

Zhao Shimeng suddenly found herself speechless.

Qiao Yuxian said, "What are you doing in Capital City? You know it yourself. You know the position you put me in, deep down, you know it. Why do you compare yourself to my dad?"

"Also, you supported Sheng Anhe in stealing my husband," Qiao Yuxian said. "She even drugged me. I didn’t kill her; I genuinely considered the fact that you gave birth to me and spared her for your sake."

Zhao Shimeng couldn’t speak, her face grew increasingly unpleasant.

Qiao Yuxian was silent for a while and then said, "Have you thought it through?"

"What?" Zhao Shimeng did not immediately understand what she was asking.

"Who made you come to Capital City?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

Zhao Shimeng’s pupils trembled fiercely.

Qiao Yuxian looked at her rapidly pale complexion.

This reaction from Zhao Shimeng made her think.

During the time she was surveilling Zhao Shimeng, someone must have contacted Zhao Shimeng after she asked who the person behind them was.

They must have threatened her.

Told her not to say anything.

Otherwise, Zhao Shimeng wouldn’t have reacted so strongly.

Also, she’s been in Capital City the whole time.

Actually, being in Capital City isn’t meaningful anymore.

But she hasn’t returned to A Continent.

She must be unable to go back.

"Then I’ll change the question." Qiao Yuxian said, "Do you know the Bai Family? Do you know Bai Zhongwu?"

Zhao Shimeng glanced at her, then turned to look out the window, silent.

Seeing her silence, Qiao Yuxian asked, "Do you know Gu Yao?"

Zhao Shimeng continued looking out the window, still silent.

Qiao Yuxian continued, "Have you seen Gu Linhai?"

Zhao Shimeng didn’t respond.

Qiao Yuxian wasn’t in a hurry; she waited for a while, seeing nothing from her.

She placed the file folder on Zhao Shimeng’s leg.

Zhao Shimeng lowered her eyes to look.

After a few seconds, she quickly picked it up and opened it.

She remembered Qiao Yuxian said she wanted to talk to her about Sheng Anhe.

The file folder opened, inside was a stack of photos.

All of them were of Sheng Anhe.

Zhao Shimeng looked at them one by one.

She quickly flipped through five.

Her tears fell onto the photos.

Qiao Yuxian watched her tears as they dripped down one after another.

She suddenly realized there wasn’t much turmoil within herself.

Because she realized that as she watched her tears, she thought about how well Chen Hui’s braised pork tasted.

Tsk.

It really is delicious.

Qiao Yuxian was reminiscing when Zhao Shimeng suddenly turned to look at her.

Her scarlet eyes filled with rage.

"What did you do to Anhe? Did you hit her?!" Zhao Shimeng shouted.

Qiao Yuxian lowered her gaze to the photos in Zhao Shimeng’s hand.

There were a few at the back where Sheng Anhe’s face was bruised.

"She’s in prison; what can I do to her?" Qiao Yuxian said.

"Isn’t it up to you with a single word!" Zhao Shimeng continued to shout.

Qiao Yuxian’s voice was calm, her tone showing no fluctuation, and if listened closely, there was a hint of laziness in it. She said, "Do you know these are all within my power?"

"You!" Zhao Shimeng raised her hand to hit her.

As her hand was about to reach her face, Qiao Yuxian grasped her wrist.

Qiao Yuxian felt the breeze raised by the hand near her face and the force on her hand.

A very powerful slap.

If it landed on her face, it would swell for days.

"She’s your biological sister!" Zhao Shimeng continued to shout.

"I am your biological daughter." Qiao Yuxian held her wrist, applying a bit of force, "Yet you still hit me without hesitation."

Zhao Shimeng sinisterly glared at her, trying to break free, but Qiao Yuxian’s strength was too great; she couldn’t escape.

Qiao Yuxian said, "Sheng Anhe wants to act arrogantly inside, but without any skills, she’ll definitely get beaten. And it will be continuous."

Zhao Shimeng’s tears uncontrollably started to fall again.

The tears and her strong expression formed a contradictory contrast.

Qiao Yuxian said, "If I want to hit her, it’s just a matter of a word. If I want to kill her, take her finger, take her arm, it’s also just a matter of a word from me."

"Qiao Yuxian! You dare touch her!" Zhao Shimeng screamed, "I should have strangled you at birth!"

Qiao Yuxian slightly raised an eyebrow, arrogant and provocative: "I can live to be over ninety."

"You!" Zhao Shimeng was so angry she started to breathe heavily.

Qiao Yuxian continued, "Conversely, if I want her to have a better time inside, it’s also a matter of my words."

Zhao Shimeng’s emotions were quickly pacified, and the strength in her hand relaxed significantly.

Qiao Yuxian said, "But I need a reason for Sheng Anhe to have it easier."

Zhao Shimeng looked at her for a while, then her tone softened: "Yu Xian. I beg you. Let Anhe go. I’ll take her away. We’ll never appear in front of you again. We’ll never trouble you again. Let her go, okay? I’m begging you. I only ask this one thing. For the sake of the ten months I carried you, let Anhe go."

"Letting her go is impossible." Qiao Yuxian’s voice wasn’t loud, but very resolute, "I can only make things a bit easier for her."

Zhao Shimeng’s expression in her eyes faded to despair.

The strength in her hand completely vanished.

Qiao Yuxian released her; her hand lowered.

Qiao Yuxian looked at her defeated appearance.

When she first met Zhao Shimeng, she was dressed very elegantly.

She was also very strong-willed, even if she deliberately spoke gently, that ingrained assertiveness was always there.

But now, the whole person seemed weighed down by a mountain. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Pressed down bit by bit.

That forceful nature seemed to be extracted from her bones.

"Qiao Yuxian, you really are ruthless." Zhao Shimeng said.

"Likewise." Qiao Yuxian responded.

Zhao Shimeng snorted lightly and began to answer her earlier question: "About that Bai Family you mentioned, I don’t know them. That Bai what-fives-six-sevens, I don’t know. Never even heard of them."

"I don’t know Gu Yao either," Zhao Shimeng said, "I’ve never heard of the name. Though I do know Gu Linhai."

Qiao Yuxian carefully watched every second of change in her face.

"Isn’t Gu Linhai Gu Yanjing’s second uncle?" Zhao Shimeng said, "Quite a few people in Capital City should know."

"Then your people behind you—who are they? Who made you come to Capital City?"

"It’s Sheng Chendong’s father." Zhao Shimeng said, "He made us come; he told us to find you and get the Peace Pendant on your wrist."

Qiao Yuxian tightly clenched her fingers, her expression a bit tense, and asked, "Who is Sheng Chendong’s father? What’s his name?"

Zhao Shimeng thought for a moment and said, "I don’t know."
