“There are c.o.c.kroaches in the bas.e.m.e.nt, and it’s very humid. I won’t be able to sleep. If you want me to sleep in the bas.e.m.e.nt, I’ll just sleep in my adoptive mother’s house. Although we’re not related by blood, at least I have my own room. I don’t have to step on eggsh.e.l.ls around the servants either…”

Every single word of Qiao Xi’s seemed to be a blade as she voiced out all the grievances and unwillingness she had felt all these years.

The young man who spoke up for Qiao Rou earlier immediately looked embarra.s.sed and retreated.

Xue Yi sneered. “I’ve learned something today. The illegitimate daughter stole the eldest miss’ room while the eldest miss was forced to sleep in the bas.e.m.e.nt… Madam Xu, you’re really capable!”

Xu Mei’s mind buzzed. “No, it’s not like that…”

Xue Yi’s words were sharp. “Although the Qiao family’s house isn’t big, it’s still a villa. The servants all have their own rooms, but they’re letting Qiao Xi sleep in the bas.e.m.e.nt? As expected of a mistress. Her reputation isn’t good and she’s also vicious!”

Everyone nodded.

Qiao Rou shed tears aggrievedly. “Boo-hoo… Sister, I didn’t mean to. I’m sorry, I’ll give up my room right now. I don’t deserve to stay in your room… Boo-hoo…”

“Since you know that you’re not worthy, how did you still have the gall to stay in that room for so long? You’ve been living with a clear conscience for so many years. Why are you talking nonsense now?”

Xue Yi berated coldly, “You even had the cheek to clean a room for Qiao Xi? Just give up your room. Why are you acting pitiful here?”

Qiao Xi sighed in her heart. Sister Yi was indeed the daughter of the Xue family. With her around, there was no need for her to speak at all.

Qiao Rou’s face was pale as she clenched her fists. Her nails dug into her palms as her body swayed.

“Qiao Xi! Don’t accuse Rou Rou!”

w.a.n.g Qing shouted, “When you went missing, no one was staying in that room, which was why Rou Rou moved in. She’s also a daughter of the Qiao family, so why can’t she stay there?

“She has been staying there for so many years, yet you want to s.n.a.t.c.h it away. She’s a little reluctant to part with it. Isn’t this normal? Don’t be so unforgiving!”

Qiao Xi calmly listened to w.a.n.g Qing’s angry roar and said unhurriedly, “That room was decorated by me and my deceased mother. My mother designed it according to my preferences. Moreover, the room also has my mother’s jewelry, precious antiques, and paintings.”

Her tone was gentle, but every word was sonorous. Xu Mei’s face was as pale as paper.

Qiao Xi slowly said, “I didn’t mind if Qiao Rou stayed in my room when I wasn’t around, but after I returned to the Qiao family, I was made to stay in the bas.e.m.e.nt.

“w.a.n.g Qing, I heard that your w.a.n.g family has an illegitimate daughter who’s about your age. Can you let the illegitimate daughter stay in your room and occupy the jewelry, clothes, and shoes in your room? What do you think?”

“No.” Xue Yi smiled and said, “Qiao Xi, you’re wrong about something. w.a.n.g Qing is not the daughter of the first wife. She’s also an illegitimate daughter, so it’s reasonable for her to speak up for Qiao Rou. After all, they share a common language.”

Everyone immediately looked at w.a.n.g Qing with disdain.

“She’s also an illegitimate daughter!”

Qiao Xi pretended to be surprised. “So that’s how it is! No wonder you’re so close to Qiao Rou. I understand now.”

w.a.n.g Qing gritted her teeth in anger but could not say anything.

Qiao Rou lowered her head and swayed.

This b*tch! She actually dared to mock her in front of so many people!

Qiao Xi had not even returned home and she was already going to occupy her room. If she really came back, how could she live a good life in the future?!

“Rou Rou has been staying in that room for so many years. She must already be used to it. It’s too troublesome to swap rooms. As her sister, can’t you just let her have her way? Why must you be so overbearing?”

Old Madam Qiao’s face was tense. “The Qiao family is already treating you well by ignoring the past and bringing you back. Don’t go too far!”

Qiao Zhenguo suddenly squeezed out a smile. “Xi Xi, I’ve arranged a room for you and even renovated it. If you’re not satisfied, we can discuss it again, but we still have something important to discuss.”

Oh! They were finally getting to the main topic.

Qiao Zhenguo cleared his throat and seemed to be in a dilemma. “The Qiao family is in trouble now, and the company isn’t doing too well. Besides, your adoptive mother thinks that the Qiao family isn’t good to you.. In order to stand up for you, she attacked the Qiao family’s company.”
