Chapter 489 - Watching a Show Gloatingly

She got bored again seeing that Wei Ling was still on the phone and quietly said, “Aunt, I’ll go up and practice—”

Before she said “the piano”, she heard Wei Ling shout in shock and anger. “Who did you say?”

Qiao Chen raised a brow. She felt that something was amiss with Wei Ling’s reaction.

When Wei Ling was done with her call and had put her cell phone down, her exquisite face was masked with gloominess. She suddenly turned to glare at Qiao Chen and asked seriously, “When did your dad call you?”

“Uh…” Qiao Chen’s heart sank. Seeing that her expression was strange, she cautiously lied. “… Half an hour ago, while I was on the way.”

“What is it, Aunt?” she asked immediately.

Silence ensued for a moment.

Wei Ling’s expression was awful. She couldn’t even be bothered with the messy scarf around her neck and said coldly, “Qiao Nian beat Wei Qi up.”

“Ah?”

Qiao Chen thought she’d heard wrongly and was frozen in shock for a while. “Qiao Nian beat Young Master Wei up?”

Was Qiao Nian mad?

Wei Qi was Wei Ling’s younger brother, part of the Wei Family in Beijing!

Her first thought was that Qiao Nian must have gone mad. But upon second thought, she couldn’t help but feel happy about it.

Qiao Nian had grown up in a place like Rao City and had no idea how external forces worked. She really thought that with Yuan Yongqin’s backing, she could do anything she wanted even outside of Rao City?

Did she really think Yuan Yongqin was better than Wei Ling?

Cheng Feng Corporation was only a company, and Yuan Yongqin was only a businesswoman. She had limited network and connections in her circle. How could she compare with Wei Ling, whose social circle was in Beijing and whose family was powerful?

Qiao Nian was beating Wei Qi up now because she had Yuan Yongqin’s backing. But this time, even if she wasn’t jailed, she would have to be skinned alive. With that thought, Qiao Chen couldn’t help but smile.

She had been worried about Qiao Nian getting into Qing University previously. But now, this would be a problem for her.

“Is Young Master Wei alright?” she asked hypocritically.

“I heard three of his ribs are broken. He’s in a coma now.”

In the past, Wei Ling would have seen through all of Qiao Chen’s schemes and thoughts. But now that her focus was on her hospitalized brother, she didn’t notice that Qiao Chen was smiling.

“Ha, she’s really brutal, huh.” Wei Ling’s eyes went cold as she grabbed her cell phone tightly. She said, “I didn’t understand why your mother hated her so much in the past. But now I do… she’s an ingrate!

“What hatred does she have for Wei Qi that she had to break three of his ribs? If she doesn’t make herself clear, I’ll hound her for it!”

Wei Ling was furious. After saying this, she pursed her lips and quickly packed her belongings while telling Qiao Chen, “I’m going to Rao City.

“If your uncle asks what happened, tell him what his niece did.”

Qiao Chen almost burst out laughing, but she suppressed it and tried not to smile too obviously. She lowered her head and said obediently, “I know. Don’t worry, Aunt. I’ll let Uncle know when he’s back.”

Wei Ling hurriedly gathered her things and got someone to arrange for a plane ticket. Then, she quickly made a call as she left the house.

On the other end, Qiao Weimin had just washed up and was ready for bed. As he walked into the bedroom, his cell phone rang.
