Chapter 160: Chapter 153: The Consequences of Targeting Qiao Jing
Quiet.
So quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was stunned by the words of Zhan Qipei, as if they were scorched on the outside and tender on the
inside.
After the silence, Su Manhan was incredibly worried!
She had been anxiously waiting for the 100 days to pass so she could finally rid herself of Qiao Jing, the crude
and uncultivated daughter-in-law from the countryside, but now she was told she had to endure another 100
days.
And this twas different from the last 100 days, the last twas a marriage arranged forcibly by Zhan
Yuanshan between Zhan Qipei and Qiao Jing. This time, it was Zhan Qipei himself who had asked Qiao Jing.
What mattered was - the word “asked”.
“It’s over, it's all over. My son’s soul has been bewitched by that vixen Qiao Jing!”
That very night, Su Manhan called Lou Xinrou over to have a small meeting together with Zhan Nanging.
“What kind of tricks has Qiao Jing used? She's got Qipei so spellbound. What do we do now?” Su Manhan said
with a headache.
Lou Xinrou was so anxious her eyes turned red, “Didn’t Qiao Jing say she didn’t like Brother Pei? She even told us
not to focus on her. Turns out she was deceiving us! She's so scheming!”
“You! Raised in a greenhouse, how could you ever compete with Qiao Jing! You believed whatever she said? With
Qipei being so outstanding and her having been the young madam for so many days, how could she possibly
give up that position?” Su Manhan grew angrier the more she thought about it.
Hearing this, Zhan Nanging’s eyebrows were knotted in frustration.
“I think Qiao Jing wasn’t lying; she doesn’t have any intention of continuing as the young madam of the Zhan
Family.”
Qiao Jing is, after all, Professor Qiao. With her status, if she were to make her availability public, wouldn't
prestigious noble families be queuing and scrambling to propose? The threshold of the research institute might
even be trampled flat.
As Zhan Nanging was thinking this, she noticed that Su Manhan and Lou Xinrou were both looking at her.
“Nanging, why are you defending her? Have you been enchanted by that wild girl Qiao Jing too?” Su Manhan said
irritably.
Zhan Nanging opened her mouth to speak but there were sthings she wanted to say yet couldn't.
Headache.
Su Manhan'’s gaze shifted from Zhan Nanging to Lou Xinrou.
“Xinrou, | still hope you can be my daughter-in-law. Work hard, put in seffort.”

“Of course, Aunt Su, I'll do my best!”
With the encouragement from Su Manhan, Lou Xinrou was filled with fighting spirit.
While Su Manhan and Lou Xinrou were anxious, Zhan Yuanshan was overjoyed.
Upon learning about the matter between Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei, Zhan Yuanshan couldn't help but burst into
laughter and even called Xu Hongzu to announce that he would soon beca grandfather.
This made Xu Hongzu extremely angry, and consequently, Xu Mogian got a beating.
“You lad, you've been pursuing her for so many years without any progress. | lost to that old coot Zhan Yuanshan
when | was courting your grandmother. If you lose too, you might as well not carry the Xu surname!”
Xu Mogian smacked his lips, “If | lose, that’s just poor genetics.”
After saying this, Xu Mogian got beaten up again.
A few days later, Zhan Qipei was transferred to Imperial Capital Hospital.
Qiao Jing left the hospital to go to the supermarket to buy sgroceries, intending to make a nourishing meal
for Zhan Qipei.
Zhan Qipei had been seriously injured protecting her, so she felt obligated to take care of him until his recovery.
Before going to the supermarket, she needed to return to her apartment to get sclean clothes for Zhan
Qipei.
Just as Qiao Jing arrived at the apartment, she saw Qiao Licheng waiting at the door.
“Where have you been, girl? I've been waiting for several days!”
“Why can’t you just leavealone? Don’t you know you're really annoying?” Qiao Jing said to Qiao Licheng with
a cold look in her eyes, her words dripping with impatience.
“You—"
Each tthey met, Qiao Licheng was left speechless by Qiao Jing’s biting remarks.
“Stay away from me.” After saying that, Qiao Jing took out her keys and went to the door.
Before she could unlock the door, Qiao Licheng quickly blocked her way.
“Qiao Jing, cwithto the hospital. Your grandmother has suddenly fallen ill, and it's serious!”
“What?” Qiao Jing looked at Qiao Licheng, puzzled.
She was confident in her skills; Jhiang Cuifeng was someone she had operated on personally. By all accounts,
there shouldn't be any major issues.
“What are you standing around for? Are you not going to the hospital with me? You were the one who performed
the surgery, and now that there’s a problem, it’s your responsibility. Lettell you, if anything happens to your
grandma, | will sue you and the hospital as well!” Qiao Licheng threatened Qiao Jing, puffing himself up.
Qiao Jing didn’t mind being sued by Qiao Licheng, but the hospital was Lu Zijin’s, and she didn’t want to involve
Lu Zijin because of this issue.
“I'll go with you.”
She wanted to see what kind of trick Qiao Licheng and Jhiang Cuifeng were trying to pull.
Seeing Qiao Jing relent, a sly smile of victory appeared on Qiao Licheng’s face.
Finally, success! Their Qiao Family had a chance at salvation!
Soon enough, Qiao Jing followed Qiao Licheng to the hospital.
“Your grandma is inside, hurry up and check on her!” Qiao Licheng urged Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing could sense the urgency in Qiao Licheng’s voice and guessed that this matter was not as simple as it
seemed.
After a two-second silence, Qiao Jing pushed open the door and went in, only to see Hou Bo sitting on the bed,
with a dozen strong bodyguards standing around him.
With a “bang,” the door was forcefully closed by Qiao Licheng.
“Click,” it locked.
The next second, Qiao Licheng’s voice cfrom outside the door.
“Qiao Jing, I'm begging you, our
company is in crisis, and we just

A passing nurse overheard Qiao Licheng’s words and quickly ran off to find Lu Zijin.
Qiao Jing looked at the door expressionlessly and coolly replied, “Who said I'm divorced from Zhan Qipei now?”
Qiao Licheng was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, “Qiao Jing, don’t try to scarewith that. I've

Hearing Qiao Jing speak like this, Qiao Licheng felt a chill in his heart.
What's going on?
Qiao Licheng wrapped his arms around himself and rubbed them together.
“Chere.” Hou Bo spread his legs, gestured to Qiao Jing with a curl of his finger, and commanded.
