Chapter 402: Chapter 402 She Really Dares

Pei Family.

In the CEO’s office, Qiao Xiang is packing up, ready to leave work.

She delivered something to the Lin Family today, but her grandfather was not at all polite to her. She mentioned that it was Qiao Rui who sent the items.

She knows this indirectly made Qiao Rui a target for her grandfather.

She didn’t tell Qiao Rui.

Now, the Qiao Family and the Lin Family have declared war.

She suddenly felt uneasy.

Before leaving, she called Qiao Rui.

Once the call was connected, Qiao Xiang said, "Qiao Rui, when I delivered the items today, Grandpa asked who was behind them. Reluctantly, I mentioned you."

"Sister, I fear it’s not just reluctance." Qiao Rui chuckled, "You intended to sit back and watch the tigers fight."

Qiao Xiang pursed her lips, defending herself. "I didn’t mean that, whether you believe it or not, I didn’t."

"Really?" Qiao Rui obviously didn’t believe her. "Since you didn’t mean it, why did you reveal it was me?"

"He simply wouldn’t believe it’s from me. He knows my capabilities too well." Qiao Xiang replied.

Qiao Rui chuckled lightly, as if mocking Qiao Xiang’s self-assuredness, "Sister, let’s not pretend we don’t know the obvious. Stating the obvious excessively serves no purpose."

Qiao Xiang’s eyes tightened, flashing sharpness. "Seems you still don’t trust me."

"I certainly don’t trust you." Qiao Rui admitted. "To be frank, this step was within my expectations."

Qiao Xiang was momentarily stunned, holding the phone in disbelief. "So, was this step actually you using me?"

"Do you think you have any use?" Qiao Rui coldly questioned, "Anyone can deliver these items to the Lin Family."

"So you were testing me?" Qiao Xiang now understood Qiao Rui’s intentions.

Qiao Rui laughed, "In a way, yes. I gave you a chance, but you didn’t seize it well. So, it’s really a pity."

"What do you want?" Qiao Xiang asked, her voice trembling.

"I don’t want this." Qiao Rui said sternly, "I want to tell you to stay good, don’t create trouble when there’s none, or it will only be embarrassing for you."

Qiao Xiang was stunned, "Qiao Rui, what you did today is to make an enemy of the Lin Family. Lin is not as easy to mess with as you think."

"Thank you for the advice." Qiao Rui replied.

"Are you really going to make the Lin Family embarrassed at seven?" Qiao Xiang asked again.

"Yes," Qiao Rui said sternly, "There’s a saying that once you pull a bow, there’s no turning back now. The arrow is on the string, and it must be released."

Qiao Xiang drew in a breath sharply, unable to believe her ears.

She always felt, Qiao Rui was crazy.

She was simply fearless, too dismissive of the Lin Family.

"Then what about my parents?" Qiao Xiang asked again, "Shouldn’t you let them off?"

"We’ll see." Qiao Rui said grimly, "I have other matters, let’s end it here."

Qiao Rui hung up the phone on the other end, and Qiao Xiang held the phone, lost in thought.

She didn’t notice that Pei Liyan was standing right there behind her, having heard the whole conversation.

When Qiao Xiang came to her senses, ready to leave, she happened to see Pei Liyan.

Startled, she immediately said, "CEO, are you not home yet?"

She had seen Fang Mo and Si Ran leave already and thought Pei Liyan must have left too, but unexpectedly, he was still in the CEO’s office.

Now, how much of the call did he hear?

Pei Liyan looked at Qiao Xiang with a heavy gaze, displeased in his eyes. "This morning, the items you sent to the Lin Family, you deliberately leaked about Qiao Rui?"

Qiao Xiang’s heart jumped, shaking her head, "No, I didn’t."

Pei Liyan had already heard, coldly laughed, "Seems you really aren’t the Qiao Xiang I used to know."

In an instant, Qiao Xiang’s face turned pale.

She hesitated, then finally, with a self-deprecating smile, "Yes, you aren’t the you I used to know either."

Pei Liyan snorted coldly, turned, and left.

Qiao Xiang watched his departure, her gaze glued to his back, not moving for a long time.

Only when Pei Liyan’s figure disappeared did she snap back and begin to pack her things to leave.

In the car.

Qiao Xiang drove to the Pei Family’s garage, feeling something was off, so she took out her phone to call Elder Lin.

"Grandpa, take out the money, otherwise Qiao Rui really won’t let you off." Qiao Xiang bluntly said.

Lin Qingshi sneered, "Is this a call from Qiao Rui asking you to call me?"

Qiao Xiang frowned, "How could it be? She’s ready to burn bridges, she didn’t ask me to call you. I think you’re my grandpa, and still want to persuade you not to be stubborn."

"Seems like you’re moving closer to Qiao Rui!" Lin Qingshi sneered, "Qiao Xiang, it’s probably because you don’t truly see me as your grandpa."

Qiao Xiang was stunned, aghast, not expecting her good intentions to remind her grandpa to be misunderstood as cooperating with Qiao Rui.

"Grandpa, heaven and earth can testify that if I didn’t see you as family, I wouldn’t be calling to remind you. I think you should give up the money. It’s not going to shake the Lin Family’s foundations, but if you don’t, the consequences will be hard to control." Qiao Xiang voiced her concerns.

She knew very well that weighing the pros and cons, it’s clear, the complete downfall of the Lin Family would not benefit her and her mother.

Of course, with the Lin Family around, at least on the surface, the family’s dignity can still be maintained.

But if the Lin Family fell, even the dignity could be lost.

So, with this in mind, Qiao Xiang doesn’t want the Lin Family to collapse.

However, Elder Lin wasn’t appreciative.

"I want to see the so-called consequences," Lin Qingshi sternly said, "See if your Qiao Family can gain any advantage from tearing faces with our Lin Family."

Qiao Xiang was speechless, "Grandpa, why don’t you believe I don’t want that?"

"Enough, you and Qiao Rui quit playing good cop, bad cop, it’s pointless," Lin Qingshi said, "Tell Qiao Rui, I’m giving her a chance, let’s see how much she can do."

After finishing, Elder Lin hung up.

Qiao Xiang gripped her phone, slammed it against the steering wheel, with the car horn blaring piercingly.

She herself was startled, snapping back, and drove home.

Lin Hailan was lying in bed. Yesterday’s injury made her feel terrible, she spent the day lying down.

Seeing Qiao Xiang return, Lin Hailan immediately said, "Qiao Rui is gunning for your grandpa. He cursed me to death, saying I’m useless."

Qiao Xiang was silent.

Lin Hailan continued on her own, "Now this is great, if Qiao Rui provokes your grandpa, she’ll surely be eliminated by him."

"What if she can’t be eliminated?" Qiao Xiang countered, "Hurting the enemy a thousand, suffering eight hundred, maybe it’s mutual destruction."

"Girl, how can you believe so much in Qiao Rui’s capability?" Lin Hailan was still clinging to hope, "The Lin Family isn’t easy to provoke."

"Right, let’s see how it goes then," Qiao Xiang said listlessly, seven o’clock was fast approaching, "See if there’s any gossip to enjoy."

The Lin Family was still gloating, Lin Qingshi thought Qiao Rui had Qiao Xiang call just to probe.

However, at seven o’clock.

The entire internet exposed the Lin Family’s illegal operations, not the murder scandal Lin Tiancheng thought it was.

Now, the Lin Family was in chaos.

Lin Qingshi was furious, flipped the table, and slumped onto the sofa, "She really dared, how much dirt does she actually have on us?"
