Chapter 2688  : Twins

“At that time, Huang Shumin and Qiao Jierou kept saying that I deliberately set the fire. They called me a jinx who burned Old Madam Qiao’s face.”

This was also the reason why Old Madam Qiao didn’t like Qiao Weiyang very much. Not long after, she was sent to the countryside to be raised by Lin Shuhui.

Qiao Weiyang thought of the past and was already very calm. However, if it was not something she had done, she would definitely not take the blame.

“That day, I did light a fire at home because I saw on TV that one would burn incense to one’s deceased family. I missed my mother, so I burned paper money and incense. But what really caused the fire wasn’t what I burned; it was the fire caused by Qiao Jierou playing with fire.

“But who would believe me? Under the glib tongue of the mother and daughter, everything was pushed to me.

“There might be no evidence for this at all, but Old Madam Qiao, think about it carefully. I burned the incense in my room. Why was there nothing wrong with my room but your and Qiao Jierou’s rooms burned down?

“You said that the spark in my room was the cause of it, but my room was very far from your room, and there was another room in between. Was that really the case?”

Facing Qiao Weiyang’s words, Old Madam Qiao was filled with regret!

If she hadn’t trusted this pair of mother and daughter too much, the Qiao family wouldn’t have been ruined by them. If she hadn’t let Qiao Jierou do whatever she wanted, Old Master Qiao wouldn’t have died!

There was also Qiao Dongliang’s background and various other things…

She was filled with regret and pain, but there was nothing else she could do!

Everyone looked at Qiao Jierou coldly. They never expected her to have such vicious thoughts since she was young!

Such a woman could still be protected by Old Madam Qiao until she grew up safely. She was even given the best of everything. All this nurtured her to be obedient on the surface but arrogant on the inside. She would get whatever she wanted and snatch whatever she couldn’t get!

Qiao Jierou lay on the ground. Old Madam Qiao was no longer able to hit her.

The police cars arrived with sharp sirens. Qiao Jierou was terrified. When she saw the police walking in in their uniforms, her eyes rolled back in fear and she fainted.

However, the law was heartless. The police still took her back for investigation.

Qiao Weiyang watched her be taken away and finally felt a little comforted.

According to what Qiao Jierou had done to Old Master Qiao and Old Madam Qiao, it would probably be difficult for her to come out in this lifetime.

Qiao Qijie couldn’t help but scold Old Madam Qiao for the first time. “It’s all your fault. You’re the one who indulged Qiao Jierou! You made her fight with Weiyang for everything! It’s all your fault for being arrogant!”

Old Madam Qiao closed her eyes in silence.

Madam Xu said to Qiao Weiyang, “Weiyang, don’t be sad. A dead person can’t be revived. I believe your grandfather also hopes that you can put down your grudge and live in peace.”

Qiao Weiyang nodded gently.

“Then Dongliang and I will leave first. I’ll contact you later,” Madam Xu said.

Hearing that Madam Xu was going to take Qiao Dongliang away, Old Madam Qiao opened her eyes and became agitated. “None of you can take Dongliang away. He’s my grandson!”

She still could not accept this reality.

She stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Dongliang’s wrist.

Qiao Dongliang’s feelings for her were quite complicated. Old Madam Qiao had indeed not subjectively done anything to harm him. However, the entire Qiao family was indeed indulged by Old Madam Qiao.

He did not want to be in this family at all. Even if the Xu family was an ordinary family and they were poor, he would rather go back to a loving family.

However, he could not shake off her hand. Seeing how old she was, he could not bear it.

“Old Madam Qiao, let me remind you. Although I’ve already detoxified a portion of the medicine Qiao Jierou injected you with just now, the remaining portion can easily paralyze you with a stroke. You can’t be too agitated. When you hit Qiao Jierou just now, your emotional threshold was already at its peak. If this continues, I’m afraid…

Qiao Weiyang reminded her indifferently.

As expected, Old Madam Qiao cherished her life. She let go of Qiao Dongliang’s wrist and had no choice but to watch him leave with Madam Xu.

The rest was a mess.

When Old Madam Qiao thought about how her current body had become like this because of her most beloved Qiao Jierou, the hatred and resentment in her heart came wave after wave.

She also had indescribably complicated feelings for Qiao Weiyang. Qiao Weiyang looked at Su Zhuoqian and said softly, “Zhuoqian, let’s go too.” Su Zhuoqian held her hand, and the two of them turned to leave.

“Weiyang…” Old Madam Qiao’s voice was a little fragile. For the first time, she showed a soft attitude in front of Qiao Weiyang.

It was the kind of voice Qiao Weiyang had never heard before.

However, Qiao Weiyang no longer had any feelings for her.

Her feelings had died in one incident after another.

If the old madam had been sincere enough to investigate the fire back then…

If she hadn’t thrown Qiao Weiyang to Lin Shuhui since she was young…

If she could consider Qiao Weiyang’s interests during every conflict with Qiao Jierou..

If only…

There were no ifs.

Therefore, the old madam could only be a stranger to Qiao Weiyang.

The biggest punishment for her was to continue living with these regrets, which had nothing to do with Qiao Weiyang.

Su Zhuoqian and Qiao Weiyang walked out of the door. Qiao Qijie also walked over and said, “Weiyang, will you come back in the future?”

Qiao Weiyang glanced at him. This father of hers had never had much of a presence. He was even worse than Old Madam Qiao.

Other than to paper over something, he would also scold her. How could such a person be worthy of being a father?

If it was said that Old Madam Qiao was not obligated to protect Qiao Weiyang for many things due to her seniority, then Qiao Qijie was not worthy of the word ‘father’.

“No.” Qiao Weiyang’s voice was even calmer as if Qiao Qijie never existed.

Qiao Qijie was obviously disappointed and said with a conscience, “Um,

Weiyang, I’m sorry…”

“Please take it back. I don’t need it.” Qiao Weiyang didn’t care about his light apology. She didn’t accept it, nor did she understand where he was coming from.

After leaving the Qiao family, she let go of everything. All the burdens on her were in the past.

From then on, they would have nothing to do with each other.

She tilted her head to look at the man beside her and smiled at him. “Come home with me.”

“Okay.” Su Zhuoqian held her hand and did not let go. He looked down at her gently.

Qiao Weiyang got into his car readily..
