I'm Secretly Married To A Big Shot

Chapter 153: You Need to Face Reality

“Mom, do you think a dead person can beat us to this? Even her daughter can’t get past me, much less a dead woman! I want Qiao Mianmian to see that I can take away anything she holds dear! She’s unable to beat me!

“The man she liked, her mother’s bedroom, and even her position as the Qiao family’s First Miss—all of these will be mine eventually!”

The housemaids standing around weren’t even surprised to hear their exchange.

The Qiao household now was practically the empire of this mother and daughter.

Anyone still loyal to Qiao Mianmian and her mother had been dismissed.

The only reason Nanny Chen stayed was that she was actually a distant relative of Father Qiao. She’d even raised him for a few years when he was a child.

Father Qiao allowed her to stay as he had some sentimental connection with her.

“My daughter is so outstanding, of course she’s good enough for all the best things in the world.” Lin Huizhen patted her daughter on the head and said proudly, “You’re not taking these away from her. These are all rightfully yours.

“If it wasn’t for the marriage contract, why would the Su family even be interested in having Qiao Mianmian? You and Ah Ze are truly made for each other. Now that you and Ah Ze are open with your relationship, and you’re carrying his child, it’s about time our families met to discuss this.”

Upon hearing the words “carrying his child”, a strange expression flickered in Qiao Anxin’s eyes.

She looked down at her flat belly and stroked it as she tried to hide her odd expression.

“Madam, Second Miss, First Miss is back.”

One of the housemaids quickly informed them as she saw Qiao Mianmian storming in angrily.

Just one moment ago, Lin Huizhen was smiling happily. But the moment she caught sight of Qiao Mianmian, her smile vanished.

Her face went cold.

“Oh, so it’s the First Miss. She finally remembers she’s got a home, huh?” Lin Huizhen spoke sarcastically.

Qiao Mianmian stopped before the two of them.

She ignored the nasty comments and glared at Qiao Anxin. She sneered. “Qiao Anxin, I underestimated your shamelessness. How is it that being a mistress isn’t enough to satisfy that disgusting heart of yours, that you have to continue doing absurd and distasteful things?”

Qiao Anxin’s expression changed instantly.

She was about to flare up, but when she saw Qiao Ruhai standing in the corner from her peripheral vision, she immediately feigned a pitiful sight. “Sister, how could you misunderstand me this way? I’ve never thought of coming between you and Brother Ah Ze. Your break-up with him was caused by you alone. Brother Ah Ze said you’re always out having shoots, and you only get to see him a few times a month. Your heart wasn’t even with him and he couldn’t bear to carry on with you that way. That was why he initiated the break-up.

“I can understand that you’re still heartbroken. But have you ever thought about why he could still bear to break up with you even after so many years of being together, even though you guys were almost getting married?

“Sister, he doesn’t love you anymore, that’s it. You need to face reality.”

Chapter 154: Aren’t You Being Too Willful

Qiao Anxin acted innocent, but the deceit in her eyes was unmistakable.

At this point, a few movers were shifting more furniture out of the room.

Qiao Mianmian was infuriated.

That was her mother’s favorite screen.

“Stop this!”

Qiao Mianmian dashed to the movers and yelled, “Put this back. Without my permission, none of you is to move anything in this room!”

The moving workers were a little stunned. They turned towards Lin Huizhen and Qiao Anxin. “Madam Lin, this…”

“Don’t listen to her.” Lin Huizhen sneered. “She lives on campus all year round, she’s got no right to interfere with anything at home. In this house, I’ve got the final say! Continue moving!”

“Don’t you dare!”

Qiao Mianmian blocked them at the door and scoffed. “This is my mother’s room. Besides her, no one has the right to move these items.”

“Hah.” Lin Huizhen looked at her with disdain. “This house belongs to your dad and me now. I have a say over everything in this house, not to mention this room. Your dad has already agreed to Anxin moving in. If you’ve got anything against it, look for him.”

With that, Lin Huizhen waved at the movers impatiently. “Go on.”

With her approval, the movers pushed Qiao Mianmian aside and continued moving the screen out.

Qiao Mianmian pulled the mover’s arm. “Stay where you are. You can’t move my mom’s things out!”

She had no idea when Mo Yesi’s men were getting here.

At this point, Qiao Mianmian was glad she made that call to him.

If she was alone, the outcome was more than obvious.

“Qiao Anxin, aren’t you being too wilful.” Lin Huizhen looked at her with disgust. “Anxin is carrying Ah Ze’s child now. The fortune-teller said that she’d have to take this room in order to have the child safely. Otherwise, she’s running the risk of a miscarriage.

“She’s your sister. Even though you don’t share the same mother, you’re both related by blood. You’re out here interfering with everything, are you trying to cause her miscarriage?”

Qiao Mianmian glared at them and smirked. “What has her miscarriage got to do with me? A child that was conceived out of such dirty means isn’t worth much!”

The moment she said that a growl came from behind her. “Mianmian, you’re too much! How can you curse your sister like that!”

Qiao Ruhai looked at Qiao Mianmian with disappointment and anger. “Even if you’ve got conflicts, the child is innocent. That’s your biological nephew. Aren’t you being too cruel to curse a barely two-month-old fetus?

“I thought you’d have learned from your mistakes after leaving the house for so long. But you haven’t changed at all. No, you’ve only gotten worse. How could you be like this!”

Qiao Ruhai started coughing and patting his chest as if having trouble catching his breath from his anger.

“Calm down, calm down.” Lin Huizhen quickly patted him on the back. “You’ve only just recovered slightly, you need to watch your health. If anything happens to you, Anxin and I would feel bad.”
