The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy

Chapter 1022: Chapter 1082

A few of them went back to Qiao Jiezhe’s place. Qiao Qiqi looked listless, her expression drained; it was obvious she’d really been scared by what happened today.

Qiao Jiezhe was also extremely upset. As soon as they walked in he asked, "What exactly happened? How did you end up going to see those people alone?"

"I... I was originally going with my agent. She had something come up at the last minute and couldn’t go. I’ve never run into something like this before, so I just went by myself." Qiao Qiqi’s face was pale, like a child who’d done something wrong.

"And you didn’t think to run?" Qiao Jiezhe was truly furious.

Hearing him, Qiao Qiqi couldn’t stop her tears from falling.

"Enough, let her rest first. Don’t blame her anymore. This was an accident, nobody wanted this to happen." Qiao Jiezhe signaled to Mr. Qiao to stop talking.

But Mr. Qiao was still irritable. Seeing how upset Qiao Qiqi was, though, he shut his mouth.

"Mr. Qiao, I’m sorry. I know I caused trouble for the company. I’m really, really sorry." Qiao Qiqi thought Mr. Qiao was so angry because she’d caused trouble, and her face was full of guilt.

"You’ve got it wrong. He’s just worried about you. Didn’t you see? When he saw you being pushed around, he didn’t even care about his own leg, he just rushed over, and even got hit." Mr. Qiao didn’t want Qiao Qiqi to misunderstand. She could also tell—Mr. Qiao had probably fallen for her, right?

Only, after him scolding her like that, Qiao Qiqi had practically been scared to death by him. She’d probably avoid him from now on.

"Mr. Qiao, how’s your injury? It’s all my fault, I dragged you down again." Qiao Qiqi looked at Mr. Qiao with deep remorse.

"They’re just minor injuries. Are you hurt anywhere?" Mr. Qiao finally calmed down a bit. What happened today had almost driven him crazy; he blamed Qiao Qiqi for not being careful.

Qiao Qiqi shook her head, then hurriedly said, "I’m fine."

"I wasn’t trying to blame you. But if I hadn’t happened to show up today, you would’ve been... by that group of animals..." Mr. Qiao’s heart wrenched in pain at the thought, to the point he couldn’t even breathe.

He didn’t even know what was wrong with him. Had he gone crazy?

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry..." Qiao Qiqi didn’t know what else to say; she could only keep apologizing. It was her first time encountering something like this—she was actually more terrified than anyone.

"Brother, how’s your leg? The cast is shattered." Qiao Qiqi walked over and looked at her Brother’s leg.

"It’s fine. The cast was supposed to come off anyway. It’s just two days early." Mr. Qiao waved his hand, feeling stifled inside.

"How is that the same? Your leg isn’t a small matter. What if you end up with a limp? I’ll never be able to find you a sister-in-law then. I’m calling a doctor to take another look at you." Qiao Qiqi said.

"I’m fine." Mr. Qiao insisted he was fine, even wanting to get up and walk a couple of circles to show his sister.

Qiao Qiqi wouldn’t let him mess around. She made him sit and still called the doctor over.

"Qiao Qiqi, come help my Brother treat his wounds. I still have some things to deal with." Qiao Qiqi took out the first-aid kit and gestured.

Qiao Qiqi quickly sat down, took out the disinfectant, and got ready to treat Mr. Qiao’s wounds.

Besides the shattered cast on his leg, his face was badly bruised from the beating; he really looked quite miserable.

Mr. Qiao didn’t say anything this time and let Qiao Qiqi tend to his wounds.

The two of them were very close like this. As Qiao Qiqi applied medicine to Mr. Qiao, she gently blew on each spot, afraid it would hurt him. Her restrained tears shimmered at the rims of her eyes.
