Chapter 498: Being Pecked by an Eagle at This Age
Wei Ling pursed her thin lips tightly. On the other hand, there was no expression on the other party’s face. She was wearing a beige turtleneck sweater with a shawl around her shoulders. The fox fur shawl made her look elegant and noble with an outstanding temperament.
She stared at the girl sitting in the interrogation room and frowned. She said coldly, “I can’t afford to be called Aunt Wei.
“I came here to ask you a question. Tell me the truth. Did you beat Wei Qi up?”
The moment she got off the plane, she went to the hospital to see her brother’s condition. Wei Qi was lying on the bed. He had woken up and cried in pain.
The painkillers the doctor had given him did not work. He had three broken ribs. Before his ribs healed, he could only lie on the bed and not move.
Not to mention, Wei Qi’s face was as swollen as a pig’s head. It was completely ugly!
She and Wei Qi were biological siblings from the same mother. When she saw her brother being beaten up like this, she was both angry and heartbroken. How could she treat the ‘culprit’ sitting here nicely?
“Why did you hit him so ruthlessly?” Wei Ling suppressed her anger that was about to rise up. She pinched the handbag in her hand and said with a gloomy expression, “In the past, your mother said that you were vicious since young. I didn’t believe it and kept speaking up for you. In the end, this is how you repay me? You beat my biological brother into the hospital and broke three of his ribs. In the end, the hospital’s injury analysis results showed that it was only a light injury…”
Her voice was quite calm as she suppressed her anger and reprimanded her. “Qiao Nian, you’re really something. Why didn’t I see that you had this ability in the past? I was wrong. You’re already so old, yet you’ve been pecked by an eagle!”
In the past, when she followed Shen Jingyan to visit relatives in Rao City, she would always meet the two sisters from the Qiao family. When Qiao Chen saw them, she would always be obedient and curry favor with them. She would sweetly follow behind her and call her Aunt.
However, Qiao Nian was completely different.
She had never seen a fawning expression on Qiao Nian’s face. She didn’t deliberately pretend to be obedient in front of her, but she was calm and sensible enough to make her see her in a different light.
She was born into a prestigious family and had married a husband who was compatible with her. She had a strong marriage alliance, and many people tried to curry favor with her. Seeing that Qiao Nian didn’t try to fawn her, she actually admired her character more.
At that time, Shen Jingyan had chosen Qiao Chen. She had even felt regret for Qiao Nian, thinking that she had a better future and more value to be nurtured than Qiao Chen.
However, Qiao Chen was blood-related to her husband, after all, and Qiao Nian was an unrelated person. She was unwilling to return to the capital with them, so she had no choice but to slowly accept Qiao Chen…
However, she didn’t change her opinion and still felt that Qiao Nian was more worth nurturing than Qiao Chen.
Now, Wei Ling only felt angry. In the past, she liked Qiao Nian very much. Now, when she saw the unruly girl in front of her again, she was furious.
Before she came, she had bumped into Wei Dongshan and Cai Gang, who were still in a confrontation outside. When she received the hospital’s injury report from Cai Gang, she couldn’t control her anger and embarrassment.
Qiao Nian was treating them like fools!
She had beaten Wei Qi to the hospital, but they couldn’t do anything to her after going through the legal procedures? What a joke!
Although Wei Dongshan had called her on the way and told her that she would be expelled, Wei Ling still couldn’t take it lying down.
For Shen Jingyan’s sake, she slightly suppressed the anger and asked condescendingly, “Tell me, how do you plan to resolve this matter?”
