Qiao Xi took out her phone and casually tapped on the screen twice. Then, a male voice that was deliberately lowered sounded.

“Miss Qiao, this matter isn’t easy to handle.

“Look, if someone finds out, I won’t be able to stay in the hospital anymore. I still have my wife and children to support…”

“Please don’t misunderstand. I’m not asking you to increase the payment. I just think that this matter is too risky. I…

“No, let’s proceed!”

Qiao Rou abruptly sat up on the bed and stared at Qiao Xi in horror.

How? How did she have this recording?!

Qiao Xi raised her chin. “Looks like you’ve recalled something, Little Sister?”

Mr. Qiao and Xu Mei were dumbfounded.

“Rou Rou, you…”

“Don’t ask, don’t ask me anything. Dad, Mom, can you go out first? I want to talk to Sister alone.”

Xu Mei still wanted to say something but when she met Qiao Rou’s pleading gaze, she could only fiercely warn Qiao Xi not to act recklessly.

“Your mother and I will just be outside. Call us if you need us.”

Mr. Qiao was also worried about Qiao Rou and Qiao Xi being alone in the same ward, but he could not resist Qiao Rou’s pleading. In the end, he could only pull Xu Mei along and leave the ward.

As the door of the ward closed, Qiao Rou’s aura changed. She lowered her head and played with her long hair. She pretended to ask casually, “Where did your recording come from? These people are really bad. They’re deliberately trying to ruin our relationship as sisters.”

Qiao Xi pulled a chair over and sat down. “Aren’t you tired of acting?”

She had already fallen out with her, yet she still pretended to be close to her.

Qiao Rou lowered her head, and her expression could not be seen clearly. However, from her trembling shoulders, it could be seen that she was not calm at all. “Sister, why did you come back? Since you already went to the countryside, why didn’t you just die there? Did you come back because you want to take away my position as the Qiao family’s eldest daughter? Why did you snatch my fiancé? And that stubborn grandpa, why did he set such a rule? Why did he give you the shares of Qiao Corporation? Why?!

“In what way am I inferior to you? In terms of knowledge, talent, and etiquette, how am I inferior to you?! You’re a peasant who came back from the countryside, a peasant who doesn’t even know how to put on makeup. What right do you have to snatch away all my things the moment you returned?!”

She suddenly looked up, her bloodshot eyes filled with unwillingness and resentment.

She was angry, she hated Qiao Xi!

She wished for nothing more than for Qiao Xi to die!

“Why?”

Qiao Xi looked up at the pure white ceiling and said in an extremely soft voice, “Perhaps it’s because everything you said rightfully belongs to me.”

She explained the truth calmly, “If your mother hadn’t interfered in my mother’s marriage, I would have had a complete family. I would have grown up in Li City and learned everything you just mentioned. And you, you’re just a predator who stole everything that originally belonged to me.”

Qiao Rou’s body trembled, and she subconsciously retorted, “No, my mother didn’t interfere with your mother’s marriage. It was your mother who was incapable and couldn’t keep a man!”

“Huh?”

This explanation…

Qiao Xi was shocked by Qiao Rou’s worldview. She paused for a long time before speaking with slight doubt, “According to what you said, I want to fulfill the marriage contract with Gu Moling and marry him. You, his childhood sweetheart, were abandoned. Is it because you lack the ability as well, then?”

“No, of course not! You threatened and bribed him! You and Grandpa used the shares to force Brother Moling to marry you!”

“Oh, no matter what, you’re the one who’s right.”

Qiao Xi played with her phone. “You’re acting so self-righteous as a mistress… I’ve learned something today…”

She looked up at Qiao Rou. “Let’s get back to the main topic. How does someone who isn’t pregnant have a miscarriage?”

“I…”

Qiao Rou’s expression froze, then she suddenly raised her head and smiled at Qiao Xi. “Sister, why are you so sure that I was never pregnant? Just because of that recording? But recordings can also be faked…”

She had been too shocked earlier and surprised that Qiao Xi could actually obtain that recording. Now, she had calmed down.

So what if Qiao Xi had obtained the recording? As long as she insisted that the recording was fake, there was nothing Qiao Xi could do about it!

Her hospitalization and surgery reports were all true!

“Are you lying through your teeth?”

Qiao Xi quickly saw through Qiao Rou’s plan. She had to admit that if it were someone else, Qiao Rou’s plan would definitely succeed.

Unfortunately, she was her opponent this time…

“If you rely on those reports, you might lose.”

Qiao Xi tapped lightly on a video file on her phone, then flipped the phone screen so that Qiao Rou could see the video clearly.
