The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 645 - 607: Yao Mountain Island Belongs to Us
Yue City
Qiao Cheng’s home.
Just after eight in the evening, Qiao Shuning suddenly appeared at the house.
Qiao Cheng and his wife were a bit surprised to see her. Zheng Xiu Zhu asked, "Why did you suddenly come back? You didn’t say anything, have you eaten? You look so rushed."
Qiao Shuning was almost out of breath with urgency as she entered the living room and looked directly at Qiao Cheng. She said, "Dad, I have something to ask you."
Qiao Cheng looked bewildered and said, "What’s the matter? What happened?"
Qiao Shuning glanced outside and didn’t bother going to the study, asking directly, "What did my grandparents do?"
"Huh?" Qiao Cheng hadn’t expected her to suddenly ask this.
Zheng Xiu Zhu also looked at her in confusion, not knowing why she was in such a hurry to ask this.
Seeing that neither of them had answered, Qiao Shuning asked again, "What did my grandparents do?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Seeing she was anxious, Qiao Cheng quickly thought seriously about her question and said, "What did your grandparents do? You don’t know? Why ask this suddenly? We run the company they started every day, what’s the purpose of asking this question?"
Qiao Shuning sighed in exasperation and said, "What did they do before they started the company? Isn’t the Qiao Mansion’s location where no ordinary person can live?"
"Qiao Mansion is something my grandfather left behind; it’s an ancestral house passed down, benefiting from my grandfather, and it has nothing to do with your grandparents." Qiao Cheng said.
"Exactly," Zheng Xiu Zhu agreed.
"Oh my." Qiao Shuning said anxiously, "How come you don’t know anything?"
"What do we know?" Zheng Xiu Zhu asked.
"My grandparents were on Yao Mountain Island before they came to Yue City. My grandmother single-handedly established Yao Mountain Island." Qiao Shuning shouted softly, "Do you know this!"
"Yao Mountain Island?" Zheng Xiu Zhu asked.
Qiao Cheng’s eyes widened.
"Yes, Yao Mountain Island." Qiao Shuning said, "You’ve heard of Yao Mountain Island, right? It’s an island, but respected and feared by all continents. No matter where, they show respect. Many people may not have heard of the place, but those who have are people of status. On the surface, it’s just an island, but secretly, its status and the continents’ fears of it are beyond our knowledge."
Zheng Xiu Zhu was directly dumbstruck.
Qiao Cheng had indeed heard of Yao Mountain Island and was aware of its status. He was stupefied for a while and said, "You say Yao Mountain Island was established by your grandmother?"
"Yes." Qiao Shuning said.
"Where did you hear this from?" Qiao Cheng asked, "Is this information accurate? How come there’s such an absurd rumor?"
Qiao Cheng thought Yao Mountain Island was really too far away for him.
Not to mention whether he could ever go to Yao Mountain Island.
Even just hearing about it felt distant.
Now being told that Yao Mountain Island was established by his own mother.
What a fresh piece of news.
"Don’t bother where I heard it from, just believe this news is true." Qiao Shuning said, "The Buddhist hall at the west courtyard of the Qiao Mansion is the best proof. You’ve never gone inside, right? Grandparents never let you in, right? Because from the beginning they gave everything to Uncle. You, as the eldest son, got nothing. Everything belongs to Uncle, all of it!"
Qiao Cheng looked at her.
"You thought grandparents gave you the company, showing favoritism?" Qiao Shuning’s eyes were full of resentment, "It’s all fake. They let Uncle develop in Capital City; do you think why Uncle could establish himself there? Because grandparents have connections. Why could Qiao Yuxian marry Gu Yanjing? You think why would the Gu Family consider marrying into a lesser family like ours? Because grandparents already knew Old Sir Gu, they have a life-and-death friendship!"
"What!" Zheng Xiu Zhu exploded suddenly.
"We are the eldest son’s family, we even have the eldest grandson, yet we have nothing." Qiao Shuning’s voice grew louder and more excited, "Do you know about the red Peace Pendant worn by Qiao Yuxian? With that Peace Pendant, she can inherit Yao Mountain Island. Do you know what inheriting Yao Mountain Island means? How high a status?"
Zheng Xiu Zhu’s whole body trembled, her chest heaving constantly.
Qiao Cheng had already stopped speaking.
"Dad! Grandparents are too biased!" Qiao Shuning shouted, "It’s all one’s family, both sons, both grandsons and granddaughters, why! Why is everything Qiao Yuxian’s! Why do we have nothing! Why do we just stay in such a small cranny like Yue City!"
"Yes, why?!" Zheng Xiu Zhu also said, "Parents are too biased! Not letting us live in Qiao Mansion is one thing, but all of this is not ours! I said why did Qiao Yu suddenly want to go develop in Capital City. Turns out parents are supporting him behind the scenes. I just said how did that girl Qiao Yuxian develop so well? There’s Xi Mei Media, Yunzhong Building! It’s all given to her by parents! Everything is hers alone! Our children don’t have a single thing! Can’t even see a speck!"
"Qiao Mansion is where you insisted on moving out." Qiao Cheng frowned as he sat on the sofa.
Zheng Xiu Zhu choked a bit and said, "And you still dare to blame me at this moment?! Your parents’ hearts are biased across the Pacific, and you still dare to blame me? If not for me, you wouldn’t even have these now."
"You say a few words less." Qiao Cheng’s head was in chaos, overwhelmed by her sharp voice.
"I say a few words less? I say a few words less? Will I be completely bullied by the Qiao Family if I say less!" Zheng Xiu Zhu shouted.
Qiao Shuning pressed her temples and shouted, "Enough! Stop arguing!"
"And you yell! What right do you have to yell!" Zheng Xiu Zhu turned her head and reprimanded her, "I’ve told you long ago to learn from Qiao Yuxian, to please grandparents! And you, you just won’t learn! Only learn to fight with her! Make them dislike you! Why is everything Qiao Yuxian’s and not yours! Don’t you reflect at all!"
Qiao Shuning closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then opened her eyes again and said, "Mom, I don’t want to argue with you now, I came back because..."
"You want to argue with me? I’m your mother, you want to argue with me? What right do you have to argue with me? If not for me, your family wouldn’t be at this point." Zheng Xiu Zhu interrupted her.
"You say a few words less! Shuning rushed back, listen to her!" Qiao Cheng shouted.
Zheng Xiu Zhu looked at Qiao Cheng.
Qiao Cheng didn’t even look at her but said to Qiao Shuning, "You came back to say these things, is there something you want to do?"
Qiao Shuning sighed again, feeling rather weak, she sat on the sofa and said, "Yao Mountain Island is Grandma’s, we are blood relatives, we equally have inheritance rights."
Sulking on the side, Zheng Xiu Zhu’s eyes instantly lit up.
"You want the Peace Pendant?" Qiao Cheng immediately understood her intention.
Qiao Shuning nodded, "Yes. Xi Mei Media and Yunzhong Building aren’t important, what’s important is Yao Mountain Island; as long as we get Yao Mountain Island, everything will be ours."
Qiao Cheng thought for a while and said, "The Peace Pendant is with Qiao Yuxian, we should be able to get it easily. But merely having the Peace Pendant might not be enough, right?"
Qiao Shuning smiled a little and said, "Dad. I have a way for the rest."
"You?" Qiao Cheng suddenly felt a little worried.
Qiao Shuning said, "I’ve got a boyfriend."
"What?" Zheng Xiu Zhu’s emotions stirred again, "Where’s he from? Who is he? What’s his family like? Why haven’t you mentioned him before?"
"His father is from Yao Mountain Island." Qiao Shuning said, "They are dissatisfied with the current leader, and there’s been a secret internal conflict for a long time. They are already preparing to seize power. Now all they lack is the Peace Pendant. With the Peace Pendant, seizing power will be perfect and legitimate."
"Did you hear all these things from him?" Qiao Cheng asked.
"Yes." Qiao Shuning said.
"Is it reliable? Trustworthy?" Qiao Cheng felt a little worried.
"Dad, don’t worry. Absolutely reliable." Qiao Shuning smiled a bit and said, "Your daughter can’t be fooled by anyone, right? These are things I’ve verified and returned to tell you about. It’s just urgent right now."
