When Uncle mentioned Qiao Meng, Qiao Chuxi’s eyebrows subtly furrowed, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of unusual emotion. If it were merely a simple conflict, she wouldn’t have given it a second thought. But since this woman had tried to take her life, the situation was entirely different.
“Uncle, if I told you that Qiao Meng wants my life, would you still protect her so fiercely?”
Qiao Chuxi decided to tell her uncle the truth. After all, aside from Qiao Zhendong and Grandfather, no one else knew about the kidnapping incident. Moreover, she had already obtained conclusive evidence implicating Qiao Meng.
“Meng’er would never do something like that. Although she has a history with you, she would never be so reckless!”
As Uncle mentioned Qiao Meng, Qiao Chuxi’s brows subtly furrowed, her beautiful eyes flickering with an unusual glint. If it were just a mere conflict, she wouldn’t have cared, but this woman wanted her life, and that was a different matter altogether.
“Uncle, if I told you that Qiao Meng wants my life, would you still defend her so staunchly?”
Qiao Chuxi decided to reveal the truth to her uncle. After all, apart from Qiao Zhendong and the old master, no one else knew about the kidnapping incident, and she had already gathered evidence that it was all Qiao Meng’s doing.
“Meng’er would never do such a thing. Although she has had issues with you, she would never be so foolish!”
Upon hearing this, the city’s Party Secretary, visibly startled, knew that Qiao Meng could be extreme at times, but he never thought she would go so far as to threaten Qiao Chuxi’s life. After all, Qiao Chuxi was now the true helmsman of the Qiao family.
“Cousin is right. Sister Meng did indeed do this, but out of respect for Uncle, even though she had the evidence, she didn’t hand her over to the police!”
At this moment, Qiao Zhendong spoke up. Having been wrongly accused, he was more proactive in this matter, laying out the entire story in detail. The expression on Qiao Chuxi’s uncle grew increasingly grim.
“That wretch is determined to disgrace me completely. She actually colluded with outsiders to cause trouble for the Qiao Group. I don’t know what’s gotten into her head!”
Finally realizing that Qiao Chuxi had been merciful—had it been anyone else, Qiao Meng would have already been handed over to the police—he understood that if that had happened, his position as the city’s Party Secretary would have been untenable.
Many people were eyeing his position, and as the guardian of the Qiao family, if he were toppled, the family would face immense difficulties. Qiao Meng was essentially pushing the Qiao family into a pit of fire…
“Uncle, you also think what she did was wrong, don’t you? So, should I send her to the police?”
Qiao Chuxi’s retort seemed casual, but it made her uncle’s heart clench. Although Qiao Meng had disappointed him, he wasn’t about to send his own daughter to the police.
“Chuxi, Qiao Meng might have just made a mistake in the heat of the moment. I hope you can show her some leniency. I believe she will be grateful to you. As for what she did before, I can apologize on her behalf.”
Uncle Qiao’s face was filled with a forced smile. At this moment, he was no longer the city’s Party Secretary but just an ordinary father. This so-called joint coercion seemed to have been orchestrated by Qiao Chuxi from the start, and he was beginning to trust in his niece’s capabilities.
“It’s only out of respect for Uncle that I haven’t taken action yet. If she is willing to reform, I won’t pursue the matter further. But I fear she might not change her ways. From what I know, she is still in contact with those people.”
A faint smile appeared on Qiao Chuxi’s face. She relished the feeling of having everything under control, though deep down, she was still somewhat resentful. After all, many of these developments had been anticipated by that lecherous man…
“I can try to talk to Meng’er. I believe she will come to her senses. We are all part of the Qiao family, and naturally, we should act in the family’s best interests.”
At this point, Uncle Qiao could only speak in Qiao Meng’s defense. If Qiao Chuxi was determined to send Qiao Meng to the police, he could only watch helplessly. After all, they were in the wrong, so he had to tread carefully.
“Since Uncle has spoken, I will naturally follow your wishes…”
Being too forceful wouldn’t be appropriate. Qiao Chuxi was a woman who knew her limits and understood that she needed to give her uncle a way out. Her gesture helped ease the tension in the room…
“Actually, my cousin is right. Mengjie really did those things. However, out of respect for you, Uncle, she chose not to hand Mengjie over to the police, even though she had the evidence!”
At this moment, Qiao Zhendong spoke up. He had unjustly taken the blame before, so he was more proactive this time, clearly recounting the entire incident. Qiao Chuxi’s uncle’s face darkened further.
“What a shameless creature! She’s determined to disgrace our entire family. To conspire with outsiders to cause trouble for the Qiao Group—seriously, I wonder if she’s lost her mind!”
Upon hearing his uncle mention Qiao Meng, Qiao Chuxi’s brow subtly furrowed, and a peculiar glint appeared in her beautiful eyes. If it were just a simple conflict, she wouldn’t have given it much thought. But this woman wanted her life—that was an entirely different matter.
“Uncle, if I told you that Qiao Meng wants my life, would you still defend her so staunchly?”
Qiao Chuxi decided to reveal the truth to her uncle. After all, aside from Qiao Zhendong and the family patriarch, no one else knew about the kidnapping incident. Moreover, she had already gathered evidence that it was all orchestrated by Qiao Meng.
“Meng’er would never do such a thing. Although she has had disagreements with you, she wouldn’t be so foolish!”
The city’s Party Secretary, upon hearing this, was visibly shocked. He knew Qiao Meng could be extreme at times, but he never imagined she would go so far as to threaten Qiao Chuxi’s life. After all, Qiao Chuxi was now the true helmsman of the Qiao family.
“Cousin is right. Meng did indeed do this, but out of respect for you, Uncle, even though she had the evidence, she didn’t hand her over to the police.”
At this moment, Qiao Zhendong spoke up. He had been unfairly blamed for this matter and was now taking the initiative to lay out the whole story. As he spoke, the expression on Qiao Chuxi’s uncle’s face grew increasingly grim.
“That wretched girl! She’s determined to disgrace me completely. To think she would collude with outsiders to cause trouble for the Qiao Group—has she lost her mind?”
Finally, it became clear that Qiao Chuxi had been merciful. If it had been anyone else, Qiao Meng would have already been handed over to the police. If that had happened, his position as the city’s Party Secretary would have been in jeopardy.
Many people were eyeing his position, and as the guardian of the Qiao family, if he were to fall, the family would face immense difficulties. Qiao Meng was practically pushing the Qiao family into a pit of fire…
“Uncle, you also think what she did was wrong, don’t you? Should I send her to the police?”
Qiao Chuxi’s question was casual, but it made her uncle’s heart tighten. Although Qiao Meng had disappointed him, he wasn’t about to personally send his own daughter to the police.
“Chuxi, Meng might have just made a mistake in the heat of the moment. I hope you can show her some leniency. I’m sure she’ll be grateful to you. As for what she’s done before, I can apologize on her behalf.”
Uncle Qiao’s face was full of forced smiles. At this moment, he was no longer the city’s Party Secretary—he was just an ordinary father. This so-called joint coup seemed to have been orchestrated by Qiao Chuxi from the very beginning, and he now had even greater faith in his niece’s capabilities.
“It’s only out of respect for you, Uncle, that I haven’t taken action yet. If she’s willing to turn over a new leaf, I won’t pursue the matter further. But I fear she might not change. From what I know, she’s still in contact with those people.”
A faint smile appeared on Qiao Chuxi’s face as she relished the feeling of having everything under control. Yet, deep down, she still felt a sense of resentment because so much of what had unfolded had been anticipated by that lecherous man…
“I can try to talk some sense into Meng. I believe she’ll come around. We’re all part of the Qiao family, and naturally, we should all act in the family’s best interest.”
At this point, Uncle Qiao could only speak in Qiao Meng’s defense. If Qiao Chuxi were truly determined to send Qiao Meng to the police, he could only stand by and watch, as they were clearly in the wrong. Thus, he had no choice but to plead gently.
“Since Uncle has spoken, I’ll naturally follow your wishes…”
Being overly aggressive wouldn’t be wise. Qiao Chuxi was a woman who knew her limits, and she understood that now was the time to give her uncle a way out. Her gesture also helped to ease the tension in the room…
Many people were eyeing that position, and as a guardian of the Qiao family, if he were removed, the Qiao family would face immense difficulties. Qiao Meng was practically pushing the Qiao family into the fire.
“Uncle, you agree that what she did was wrong, right? Then, should I hand her over to the police?”
Qiao Chuxi asked with a casual tone, but her words made her uncle’s heart tighten. Although Qiao Meng had deeply disappointed him, he still couldn’t bring himself to hand his own daughter over to the authorities.
“Chuxi, perhaps Meng is just going through a moment of confusion. I hope you can show mercy. I’m sure she will be grateful. As for what she did before, I apologize on her behalf.”
When Uncle mentioned Qiao Meng, Qiao Chuxi’s brows subtly furrowed, and a peculiar gleam appeared in her beautiful eyes. If it were just a simple conflict, she wouldn’t have cared, but this woman wanted her life—that was a different matter entirely.
“Uncle, if I told you that Qiao Meng wants my life, would you still defend her so staunchly?”
Qiao Chuxi decided to reveal the truth to her uncle. After all, apart from Qiao Zhendong and the old master, no one else knew about the kidnapping incident, and she had already gathered evidence that it was all Qiao Meng’s doing.

The city’s Party Secretary, upon hearing this, was visibly shocked. He knew Qiao Meng could be extreme at times, but he never imagined she would go so far as to threaten Qiao Chuxi’s life. After all, Qiao Chuxi was now the true helm of the Qiao family.
“Cousin is right. Meng did indeed do this, but out of respect for Uncle, even though she had the evidence, she didn’t hand her over to the police.”
At this moment, Qiao Zhendong spoke up. He had been unjustly blamed for this matter and was now more proactive in explaining the whole story. As he spoke, the expression on Qiao Chuxi’s uncle’s face grew increasingly grim.
“That wretched girl! She’s determined to disgrace me completely, colluding with outsiders to cause trouble for the Qiao Group. I don’t know what’s gotten into her!”
Finally, it became clear that Qiao Chuxi had been merciful. If it had been someone else, Qiao Meng would have already been handed over to the police. If that had happened, his position as the city’s Party Secretary would have been in jeopardy.
Many people were eyeing his position, and as the guardian of the Qiao family, if he were to fall, the family would face immense difficulties. Qiao Meng was practically pushing the Qiao family into a pit of fire…
“Uncle, you also think what she did was wrong, don’t you? So, should I send her to the police?”
Qiao Chuxi’s rhetorical question seemed casual, but it made her uncle’s heart clench. Although Qiao Meng had disappointed him, he couldn’t bring himself to send his own daughter to the police.
“Chuxi, Qiao Meng might have just made a mistake in the heat of the moment. I hope you can show her some leniency. I’m sure she will be grateful to you. As for what she did before, I can apologize on her behalf.”
Uncle Qiao’s face was filled with a forced smile. At this moment, he was no longer the Party Secretary but just an ordinary father. This so-called joint rebellion seemed to have been orchestrated by Qiao Chuxi from the start, and he was beginning to believe more in his niece’s capabilities.
“It’s only out of respect for Uncle that I haven’t taken action yet. If she is willing to reform, I won’t pursue the matter further. But I fear she might not change. From what I know, she is still in contact with those people.”
A faint smile appeared on Qiao Chuxi’s face as she reveled in the feeling of having everything under control. Yet, deep down, she was still somewhat resentful, as many of these developments had been anticipated by that scoundrel…
“I can try to talk to Meng’er. I believe she can come to her senses. We are all part of the Qiao family, and naturally, everything should be for the benefit of the family.”
At this point, Uncle Qiao could only speak in Qiao Meng’s defense. If Qiao Chuxi were determined to send Qiao Meng to the police, he could only watch helplessly, as they were clearly in the wrong. Thus, he had no choice but to be conciliatory.
“Since Uncle has spoken, I will naturally follow his wishes…”
Being too domineering wouldn’t be wise. Qiao Chuxi was a woman who knew her limits and understood that now was the time to give her uncle a way out. Her gesture helped ease the tension in the room…
“It’s precisely because of you, Uncle, that I’ve hesitated to act. If she is willing to reform, I promise I won’t pursue the matter further. But I’m afraid she won’t change. From what I know, she’s still in contact with those people!”
A faint smile appeared on Qiao Chuxi’s face as she enjoyed the feeling of everything being under her control. Yet, deep down, she still felt a trace of resentment—this entire situation had unfolded exactly as that pervert had predicted.
“I can talk to Meng’er. I believe she will come to her senses. After all, we are all members of the Qiao family, and we should act for the family’s benefit.”
At this point, Qiao’s uncle could only plead on Qiao Meng’s behalf. If Qiao Chuxi was determined to hand Meng over to the police, he could do nothing but watch helplessly. After all, they were in the wrong, so he could only try to reason with her.
“Since Uncle has spoken, I will naturally follow your wishes…”
If she appeared too domineering, it wouldn’t be good. Qiao Chuxi was a woman of great judgment and naturally knew it was time to give her uncle a way out. This gesture of hers eased the tense atmosphere slightly…
