Qiu Gui's voice sounded a little unnatural and a little worried.

Qiao Ruyi thought about it for two seconds and said, "Okay, I understand, Uncle Gui."

"Miss," Qiu Gui couldn't help but whisper a reminder, "I don't know what Madam Li said to Mr. Qiao, and he got really angry. Please control your temper and don't contradict him... If you've done anything wrong, just admit it, and don't confront Mr. Qiao."

He said this and let out a long sigh.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Ruyi asked Xiao Ai to go back to the company first, and she drove directly to Qiao Mansion.

As soon as she arrived at the Qiao Mansion, Qiao Ruyi found that the atmosphere was unusual.

According to the time, Qiao He should be in the company. Now that he has returned home and is angry again, something serious must have happened.

As soon as she stopped the car, Qiu Gui hurried out to greet her.

"Miss, Mr. Qiao is in his study right now." Qiu Gui's face was filled with worry as he whispered, "You must remember not to go against him."

He was really afraid that the eldest daughter would be kicked out of the Qiao family by Mr. Qiao because of this incident.

Qiao Ruyi frowned, "What happened?"

Qiu Gui shook his head and sighed, "You'll know when you get there."

As Qiao Ruyi walked up the stairs to the study, she heard the sound of a teacup being smashed to the ground.

"What a bastard!"

Qiao He was furious. "How could she do such a thing?"

Then, Li Ling started to fan the flames again, "Hubby, I've told you long ago that Qiao Ruyi is not a good person and is full of bad ideas. She changed her attitude towards you this time. I don't know what she has in mind. Maybe..."

The following words were probably whispered, and Qiao Ruyi didn't hear them.

She stood at the door of the study and knocked. The conversation inside stopped and Qiao He's angry voice came, "Come in!"

As soon as Qiao Ruyi pushed the door open, she was met with Qiao He's furious face.

Li Ling was sitting on the sofa beside her, with delicate makeup on, looking at her with a smug look on her face.

"Dad, what—"

"Don't call me that!"

Qiao He interrupted her, "Qiao Ruyi, you really disappoint me! What on earth are you thinking?"

Qiao Ruyi stood there, hands clenched at her sides, brows furrowed. "What did I do?"

"Don't you know what you've done?" Qiao He slammed the table angrily. "What evil thoughts are you thinking?"

"Dad, I don't know what you're talking about."

"Ruyi, I know you've never really liked me," Li Ling, who had been watching the show from the side, said. "Ever since I married your father, you've been targeting Ruyuan and me. Over the years, you've been trying to make things difficult for us, mother and daughter, both overtly and covertly. We've endured it all because you lost your mother when you were young."

"I didn't expect you're still not satisfied and are actually plotting against your father." Li Ling pretended to sigh, "I really don't know where you learned all these evil ideas."

Qiao He became even angrier after hearing Li Ling's words. He turned around and pointed at Qiao Ruyi's nose, "Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you married Ling Che? Do you think I won't dare do anything to you just because you're the young lady of the Ling family?"

"I'm telling you, you're my daughter, Qiao He. Even if I want to beat you to death, it's still our Qiao family's business. Ling Che wouldn't dare to do anything to me or our Qiao family!"

Qiao Ruyi stared at his angry face, her eyes red, "Are you going to beat me to death?"

She smiled coldly, tears falling down her face, "Why do you beat me to death? What did I do to deserve this?"

Qiao He got even angrier looking at her stubborn expression, and angrily said to Li Ling, "Tell her what the hell she did!"

"Honey, your blood pressure has been unstable recently. Don't be so angry." Li Ling calmed Qiao He down and said softly, "If you want to blame someone, blame me. I shouldn't have found out about this and made you angry."

Li Ling took out a piece of paper from her bag with an embarrassed look on her face and placed it on the desk. She looked at Qiao Ruyi with a smug look in her eyes, "Ruyi, you really are determined to achieve your goals. You'd do anything to kick Ruyuan and me out of the Qiao family."

She tapped the paper on the table with her fingertips, her tone heartbroken, "You even forged medical records like this, using them to pretend you're in a bad mental state, deceiving your father's feelings and causing him to blindly favor you and protect you!"

As she spoke, she began to choke up, "You used every possible means to make Ruyuan and I suffer so much injustice."

She looked at Qiao Ruyi with tears in her eyes, "After all these years, why do you still hate us so much? Why don't you accept us?"

Qiao He grabbed the medical record and angrily threw it in Qiao Ruyi's face.

Qiao Ruyi let the paper fly at her without even turning her head, staring at Qiao He with red eyes.

Qiao He was even more furious. "Qiao Ruyi, look at what you've done! You were so audacious as to forge medical records and deceive me!"

He raised his hand angrily, ready to slap him.

Li Ling was standing behind him, out of sight, with a big smile on her face.

Qiao Ruyi raised her head and looked stubbornly at the slap that was about to fall on her face, tears rolling down her eyes.

Her stubborn look startled Qiao He, who then recalled her broken eyes and Ling Che's phone call from the previous night. He withdrew the slap that was about to fall on her face and pointed at her face, "Qiao Ruyi, you can resort to such despicable tactics. Do you even have me as your father in your eyes?"

The medical record fell at my feet, with the hospital's special anti-counterfeiting seal printed on it.

She raised her eyes and met the gaze of Li Ling who was looking at her from behind Qiao He.

There was provocation, complacency, and arrogance in that look.

She was declaring her victory.

A line of tears rolled down Qiao Ruyi's eyes. She turned to look at Qiao He's ashen face, "After all, you still don't believe me. I thought what you said to me that day was true, but I didn't expect you to turn around and tell Li Ling about it, and then let her investigate me."

"You are my biological father, my only relative in this world, yet you are so wary of me." Qiao Ruyi's eyes were filled with tears. "Are you doing this to my mother?"

"Don't mention your mother to me!" Qiao He scolded her angrily, "If your mother knew that you were capable of such despicable means now, she would rather not have given birth to you!"

Qiao He's words were like a sharp knife stabbing into Qiao Ruyi's heart, with blood dripping down drop by drop.

She raised her hand and pointed at Li Ling behind him, questioning him with red eyes, "Do you trust her so much?"

"Ruyi, you still want to frame me at this point!" Li Ling hurried forward, a look of heartache on her face. "You pretended to be sick in front of your father to trick me before, and now your fake medical records are right in front of you, and you still refuse to admit it!"

As she spoke, she raised her phone and said, "Do you want to hear how the doctor at the hospital exposed your lies?"
