The Reborn Aristocrat’s Daughter

Old Master Xiao’s good mood had temporarily settled with the Xiao Family’s matter coming to a pause, but it vanished the moment he received the documents his eldest son handed to him, his facial expression turning terrifyingly grim. "Cao Mengqi." Old Master Xiao ground out the name through clenched teeth, with such intense loathing it seemed as if he couldn’t wait to skin Cao Mengqi alive and drink her blood.

"Dad, what’s wrong?" The others, clueless, watched as Old Master Xiao’s face shifted from cheerfulness to being clouded with dark clouds in the next second.

"See for yourself." Old Master Xiao passed the documents in his hand to Xiao Yuejiang.

After glancing at his father, Xiao Yuejiang looked down at the documents. His face darkened in horror as he read. "Dad, I won’t let this Cao Mengqi off the hook." Just thinking of how his son Xiao Yanlei met such a tragic fate largely because of this Cao Mengqi made him want to dismember her right then and there.

Liu Yuhan, sitting in her wheelchair, asked puzzledly when she heard her uncle mention Cao Mengqi’s name, "Uncle, what happened to Cao Mengqi?"

"Hmph, what happened? Just read this." Recently, Xiao Yuechao’s attitude toward his niece had done a complete about-face, especially as Liu Yuhan’s leg pain gradually subsided. Every time he thought about his son’s situation, he couldn’t stand his niece. If it weren’t for Old Master Xiao’s presence, he would have driven her out of the house long ago.

As Liu Yuhan read the documents her uncle handed to her, her face turned to disbelief. "This, this..." She looked incredulously at her grandfather and uncle, so shocked she lost the ability to speak.

"What ’this’? Hmph, see what kind of friends you’ve made. Without her, would our Xiao Family, your brother Yan Lei, have ended up like this today?" Xiao Yuechao managed to hold back from directly calling her the root of disaster, maintaining some level of rationality.

"Enough, Yuechao, say no more. I’ll leave the matter of Cao Mengqi to you to handle," Old Master Xiao said, knowing his younger son harbored anger for what happened to his own son Xiao Yanlei and was holding back a storm inside.
