Chapter 110: When she gets sick, she becomes particularly melodramatic (2 updates)
Qiao Yishen suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked down at his sister.
"Fifth Brother... why are you looking at me like that?" The look in his eyes is terrifying.
Qiao Yishen stared at her. "Youning, don’t you feel even a bit that you’re in the wrong? You’ve hurt someone. Regardless of how serious their injuries are or whether their life is in danger, you’ve made a grave mistake. Moreover, the person you’ve hurt has done nothing to deserve it. Youning, you can be naive, even foolish, but you cannot lack the basic ability to discern right from wrong."
His tone wasn’t heavy, but the words he uttered were incisive.
Qiao Youning was the youngest daughter in the family, with five older brothers. Her third brother had died, and her second and fourth brothers were abroad. Everyone at home doted on her, including her eldest and fifth brothers. Having been spoiled from a young age, no one had ever spoken to her in such a serious tone.
"Fifth Brother..." Qiao Youning’s large eyes widened, her mouth falling open. After a long pause, she barely squeezed out, "I was afraid she would hurt Second Brother Lu. I... I was scared she would toy with Second Brother Lu’s feelings..." Just like that young man I saw at the bathroom door, looking so wretched and pathetic because of Ning Guiwan...
"Youning, this is the last time I’m warning you. Lu Ziqi and the Zhang Group’s heiress have a long-standing arranged engagement. Archaic as it may sound, both the Lu Family and the Zhang Family take it seriously. Even if Lu Ziqi doesn’t like the Zhang family’s daughter, he is still their future son-in-law. There will be no future for you and him; there simply can’t be."
Qiao Youning’s pale face trembled, and her slight body looked as if it might collapse at any moment.
Qiao Yishen, seeing his sister’s pained expression, couldn’t bear it, but he had to harden his heart. My sister has been spoiled too much; she needs to learn a lesson. It isn’t just a matter of getting past Quan Yu. If she doesn’t learn her lesson now, who knows what she might do in the future.
"Lu Ziqi is ambitious. To compete with his brother, he will surely marry the Zhang family’s daughter. It’s not too late for you to back out now. I don’t think you want to be like that woman from a few years ago—a third party who destroyed someone else’s marriage. You hate third parties the most, don’t you?"
Qiao Youning’s lips turned white.
Qiao Yishen raised his hand to touch the top of her head, his voice softening considerably. "Stay here tonight. Second Brother Quan won’t let you stay in the ward, so just keep watch outside. You must let him see your sincere regret."
