Zhan Qiaoyu looked at the maid, and asked again, "Then, sister, would you lie to ?"
"No, I wouldn’t." The maid shook her head, "A cute child like you, sister can’t bear to lie to."
Only then did Zhan Qiaoyu feel satisfied enough to ask the question he really wanted to ask, "Has Third Miss Qiao always lived here?"
The maid froze for a mont, not understanding why Zhan Qiaoyu was asking this.
If Third Miss doesn’t live here, where else would she live?
She replied in a muddled manner, "Yes, Third Miss has always lived here."
Zhan Qiaoyu could tell that the maid didn’t understand his intention, so he straightforwardly rephrased his question, "Then is she the biological daughter of the Qiao Family?"
These words imdiately made the maid’s expression a bit unnatural.
She hesitated for a mont before answering, "Yes."
Although she didn’t want to lie to such a cute child, the master, the eldest miss, and the second miss had repeatedly instructed her not to reveal that Third Miss was not biological.
Zhan Qiaoyu keenly noticed the maid’s odd expression.
He felt the maid was not being truthful, and imdiately looked at her with his clear sparkling eyes without blinking, "Really? You’re not lying to , are you? You promised you wouldn’t lie to ."
The maid was utterly chard by the little one’s serious deanor.
She thought, this is just a cute child, even if she told the truth, it probably wouldn’t cause any harm.
Thinking this way, the maid began, "Actually, Third Miss she..."
"Isn’t it ti you watered the plants? Why are you chatting here? Do you want to quit your job?"
Qiao Lin hurriedly ca over from several ters away and interrupted the maid’s words, giving her a warning glare.
The maid realized she almost made a mistake, promptly closed her mouth, lowered her head, and dared not say another word.
Qiao Hong followed closely and sent the maid away, "My room’s a bit ssy, go tidy it up."
"Yes." The maid imdiately responded, as if pardoned, turning and running away.
Zhan Qiaoyu slapped his forehead with his small hand and shook his head helplessly.
It seed his plan to coax information had failed!
When Zhan Qiaoyu returned to his room, Qiao Lin exclaid to Qiao Hong in amazent, "This little one is so clever, to confirm if Xiao Jing is his mommy, he’s even checked into whether Xiao Jing is a biological mber of our family."
"If we hadn’t happened to co to the backyard, he might really have gotten it out of her!"
Qiao Hong frowned slightly, contemplating aloud, "Looks like we need to keep these people at ho quiet, lest the matter leaks out and reaches Mom’s ears, causing her more distress."
Qiao Lin sighed unusually, "Yes, our family has finally reached this peaceful state; we can’t afford any more troubles over this matter."
The sisters were worried, yet trouble ca shortly after.
That afternoon, Qiao Jing sat in the hall watching TV with Zhan Qiaoyu, with Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin nearby.
The guard rushed in from outside to report in a panic, "The three misses, bad news, that young master from the Jiang family has co again!"
Qiao Lin shot up from the sofa and coldly snorted, "What nonsense is Jiang Zihong up to? After seeing Xiao Jing’s ’allergies,’ he quieted down, didn’t he? Why is he still coming?"
This overbearing young master from the Jiang family coveted Xiao Jing’s beauty and used to visit the Qiao Family daily, proposing marriage three tis a day.
After being rejected, he even wanted to forcefully marry Xiao Jing.
Finally, she and her elder sister discussed it and made Xiao Jing apply a fake skin with imitation pimples to deter Jiang Zihong.
Who’d have thought, after briefly calming down, he’s here again!
Qiao Hong hurriedly ordered, "Hurry and stop him, don’t let him set foot in our Qiao Family."
The guard looked troubled, lowered his head slightly, and said, "Eldest Miss, Young Master Jiang brought quite a few bodyguards with him, we can’t stop him, he should be in the yard now..."
Qiao Jing instinctively raised her hand to touch her face.
Because she found it too botherso to apply and remove the fake skin repeatedly, she hadn’t taken it off since returning yesterday.
The fake skin was very thin and breathable, not suffocating at all, similar to human skin, so even wearing it all the ti wasn’t uncomfortable.
She suddenly felt that keeping it on was the right decision; otherwise, she’d be exposed!
Just then, Jiang Zihong’s coarse voice echoed in the yard.
"Qiao Jing, co out, your family’s guards and maids can’t stop ."
"If you don’t co out, I’ll co in!"
Hearing Jiang Zihong’s shouting, Qiao Jing got up from the sofa and started walking outside.
Qiao Lin saw this and imdiately rushed to stop her, "Xiao Jing, don’t go, Jiang Zihong surely has bad intentions!"
Qiao Hong also walked over, sharing Qiao Lin’s sentint, unwilling to let Qiao Jing go out.
Qiao Jing remained calm and said slowly, "Even if I don’t go out, Jiang Zihong would still barge in. Mom is resting upstairs, if things get noisy indoors, it’ll disturb her. So I’d better go out and see what’s happening."
Moreover, she was curious about what Jiang Zihong was up to!
Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin initially wanted to stop Qiao Jing, but ended up being persuaded by her few words.
The three of them went out together to the yard.
Zhan Qiaoyu silently followed behind.
Jiang Zihong wore a gaudy suit and had his hair slicked back, with exaggerated sunglasses on his face, looking almost like an icon of senselessness.
Behind him stood a dozen burly bodyguards in black suits, and a middle-aged man carrying a dical box.
Seeing Qiao Jing co out, Jiang Zihong removed his sunglasses.
When his gaze landed on the pimples on Qiao Jing’s face, his expression showed clear disgust, then he lanted, "Such a beautiful face once, and now it’s like this, truly heaven envies beauty."
Qiao Jing gave him a cold glance, her face expressionless, "Get to the point, what are you here for today?"
"I’m here to save you."
Jiang Zihong boasted, then pointed to the middle-aged man behind him.
"Look, I’ve spent a lot of money to invite this doctor, specifically to treat your face. He’s very skilled in treating skin conditions, once he takes action, these things on your face will surely be cured!"
Qiao Jing furrowed her brows but before she could speak, Jiang Zihong continued, speaking to himself, "However, the doctor said, treating this requires quite a bit of ti, so I plan to take you to my place for better treatnt."
"Pfft!"
Qiao Lin, hearing this, exploded in anger and spat, "Jiang Zihong, you speak nicely, but who doesn’t know your real intentions!"
Qiao Hong agreed disdainfully, "Exactly, thinking our Xiao Jing would go with you? You wish!"
