Eloquence

“Angel, come here.” Xing Xiaoya lay on the bed. She was clearly injured, but she did not forget to cause trouble.

She waved at Angel, who walked towards her like a little adult with her small hands behind her back.

“Angel, is your mommy back?” Xing Xiaoya did not hide her ulterior motives towards Angel at all. She probably thought that a child as young as Angel was innocent and harmless.

Angel nodded. She only knew that this jinx wanted to snatch her daddy away, so she tried her best to show off how good the relationship between her daddy and mommy was. “That’s right. My mommy was burned by you, and my daddy’s heart ached. My mommy can’t sleep well at night. She can’t sleep so Daddy hugs her mommy every day. My daddy dotes on my mommy like she’s a three-year-old child who can’t walk.”

When Xing Xiaoya heard that Huo Xiaoran doted on Qiao An so much, her chest was immediately filled with jealousy.

Huo Xiaoran’s coldness and tyranny toward her did not seem to reduce Xing Xiaoya’s love for him. However, Huo Xiaoran doted on Qiao An so much that it instantly aroused Xing Xiaoya’s monstrous hatred.

“Since your mommy is alive, why should your daddy hit my son?” Wang Ning’s mother didn’t have a chance to confront Huo Xiaoran, so she chose to vent her anger on Angel. “When I sue your daddy later, he’ll go to jail.”

She thought that would scare Angel, but Angel laughed.

“My daddy isn’t afraid of you suing him.”

Wang Ning’s mother and Xing Xiaoya looked at each other.

“Why isn’t he afraid?” Xing Xiaoya asked.

“My daddy is a superhero. His opponents have always died tragically. My daddy has never lost,” Angel said.

Wang Ning’s mother’s heart trembled.

Xing Xiaoya shuddered nervously.

Angel asked them, “Why did you come here instead of staying with the Wang family? Is this what it means to fly toward the flame? Aren’t you afraid that my daddy will…”

She made a throat-slitting gesture.

Xing Xiaoya and Wang Ning’s mother hugged each other in fear.

“This is my home. Of course, I have to come back,” Xing Xiaoya said.

Angel said, “Then why did you bring her back?”

“She’s taking care of me. Look, I’m hurt.”

“You’re lying. If she can take good care of you, can’t she take you in? You clearly have ill intentions by coming back here?”

Xing Xiaoya and Wang Ning’s mother did not expect a brat’s IQ to crush them. They were immediately discouraged.

“Tell me, what exactly are you doing back here?” Angel interrogated.

Xing Xiaoya said, “Child, didn’t I tell you? This is my home. I can come back whenever I want. What do you care?”

Angel walked out, hands behind her back. “I’ll find someone who can control you.”

Not long after, Angel pulled Qiao An over.

Qiao An, who had been recuperating for two days, had just been able to walk slowly when Angel came in handy.

“Mommy, you’re the best at talking. Accompany me to fight them.”

Huo Xiaoran originally stopped Qiao An. “An’an, I’ll go. Rest well at home.”

Unexpectedly, he was heartlessly despised by Angel. “Daddy, only Mommy can do this. Mommy can turn straw into gold bars with her mouth. She’s a gentleman who uses her mouth but not force, and you’re always a gentleman who doesn’t use your mouth but force.”

This concise conclusion amused Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An.

Just like that, Angel pulled Mommy to the east room.

Qiao An pushed open the door and stood there.

Her thin body was a little hunched because of the stiffness of the muscles in her back. She was a different person from the spirited Qiao An.

“Qiao An.” Xing Xiaoya was dumbfounded to see that the Qiao An she had burned to death was still alive and well.

Qiao An walked over slowly. Angel eagerly brought the stool to Qiao An and patted the dust off it. “Mommy, sit.”

Qiao An sat down.

Her cold gaze was not on Xing Xiaoya, but on Wang Ning’s mother.

“Aunt Wang, your family bought your daughter-in-law, right?” Qiao An interrogated step by step.

Wang Ning’s mother’s eyes flickered with uneasiness and nervousness, but she puffed out her chest and said confidently, “What nonsense are you talking about? My daughter-in-law and son are free to fall in love.”

Qiao An said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it. With Chen Jing’s oral testimony and the villagers’ testimony, you can’t quibble.”

Wang Ning’s mother felt guilty and did not dare to quibble.

Qiao An launched a second wave of attacks. “Who injured Chen Jing?”

Wang Ning’s mother didn’t expect Qiao An’s every question to be so fatal. She looked resistant. “Qiao An, don’t interfere in my family’s matters. That was caused by Chen Jing accidentally knocking her head.”

Qiao An took out her phone and opened a video. It was a video of Wang Ning beating up Chen Jing. She handed the phone to Wang Ning’s mother. “Wang Ning beat up Chen Jing. This is evidence. What else do you have to say?”

Wang Ning’s mother was dumbfounded when she saw her son beating Chen Jing up like a ferocious beast in the video.

In her eyes, her son might have always been a docile little animal. She was still a little shocked to see him abuse a weak woman with her own eyes.

Qiao An said, “Do you think Chen Jing’s parents will let Wang Ning off when they see this video?”

Wang Ning’s mother defended herself. “Chen Jing must have done something wrong for my son to hit her. It’s normal for women to be beaten.”

Qiao An said, “Is it normal? I’ve sent this video to Chen Jing’s parents. They’re already on their way to save their daughter.”

Wang Ning’s mother said shamelessly, “What’s so strange about in-laws coming to my house as guests?”

Qiao An said calmly, “Chen Jing’s father is a police officer. He specializes in combating human trafficking. What a coincidence. The human traffickers took revenge on him and sold his daughter. And you were quite unlucky to be the receivers.”

Wang Ning’s mother looked at Qiao An in horror. “Her father is a police officer?”

Qiao An nodded.

“You only have one choice now: Let Chen Jing fight for leniency. If you want to silence me, I’ll tell you that your Wang family will go to jail. I forgot to tell you that Chen Jing has my recording pen. I know everything you say and do.”

Wang Ning’s mother swallowed. She was just thinking of a plan to silence Chen Jing. When she heard that Chen Jing had a recording pen, she immediately cowered.

Qiao An finished her warning and got up to leave.

She ignored Xing Xiaoya the entire time.

Xing Xiaoya’s pride might have suffered a blow. After all, she had been ignored so completely by Qiao An.

“Qiao An,” she suddenly said.

Qiao An stopped and turned to look at her impatiently.

“Yes?” Qiao An said slowly.
