The real heiress's disguise has been exposed, making her the most beloved member of Beijing

Qi Tianxiang once again pretended to be stern and scolded in a low voice, "Xiaoyu, I'm talking to your older brother, so keep your mouth shut and don't be disrespectful."

Qi Yu gave an "oh" and stuck out her tongue.

Qi Tianxiang appeared to be criticizing Qi Yu, but in reality, he was protecting her.

"Are you really sure you want to marry the real heiress of the Jiang family?" Qi Tianxiang asked again.

Qi Huan withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "I am certain. I was originally going to marry Miss Jiang. Since Jiang Yonghe is not Miss Jiang, I naturally will not marry her."

Qi Tianxiang glanced at Qi Yue beside him, a barely perceptible smile in his eyes, and nodded, saying, "Alright, since you're willing to marry into the Jiang family's true daughter's family, then we'll attend her welcoming banquet tomorrow night."

A barely perceptible smile appeared in Qi Yue's eyes.

With both legs crippled, and then marrying a so-called real heiress who has no real ability, Qi Huan is now completely ruined.

At this moment, Qi Tianxiang spoke up again: "By the way, I heard from Xiaoyu that she accidentally said a few wrong things yesterday, and you had Assistant Cheng teach her a lesson?"

Unexpectedly, her father brought this up specifically. Qi Huan asked, "Hmm, what's wrong? Dad, do you think it's inappropriate for me to teach Xiaoyu some manners?"

Qi Tianxiang said with obvious dissatisfaction, "Xiaoyu is still your sister, and she is a young lady of our Qi family. She just said a few wrong words because she was too straightforward. Why did you make such a fuss and have Assistant Cheng teach her a lesson?"

"Dad, don't forget, Xiaoyu'er is just your goddaughter whom you adopted for your brother's sake, not your biological daughter," Qi Huan reminded him.

Qi Yu's face was grim.

Qi Tianxiang's expression wasn't much better. "Although Xiaoyu isn't your biological daughter, she has been kind to your brother, grew up with him, and has called me 'Dad' for so many years. I've long considered Xiaoyu my own daughter. It was indeed wrong of you to have Assistant Cheng discipline her. Xiaoyu has been upset for a long time. You should apologize to Xiaoyu here today. As for Assistant Cheng, as an assistant, daring to hit Miss Qi is indeed breaking the rules. I think it's best not to let him follow you anymore. I'm not comfortable with that."

Qi Yu looked at Qi Huan with smug satisfaction and said in a deliberately playful tone, "Big brother, apologize to me and I'll forgive you."

Assistant Cheng glanced at his young master.

Qi Huan's dark eyes narrowed as he stared at his father's face. After a long silence, he said, "Dad, I broke my legs while saving Xiaoyu, yet she keeps saying things to me that I don't like to hear. Whether she did it on purpose or by accident, I feel that if I don't teach her a lesson, she may never realize her mistake."

Qi Yu pouted and said, "Big brother, why do you think I did it on purpose!"

Qi Tianxiang frowned impatiently and said, "Xiaoyu has always been outspoken, why do you have to take her seriously? It's just that you need to apologize to her. It seems that Xiaoyu is right. Ever since your legs became crippled, you have become too sensitive. In the future, in addition to having a doctor examine your legs, it seems that you will also need to find a well-known psychologist to help you."

Qi Huan stared intently at Qi Tianxiang, and seeing his determination to make her apologize, she chuckled after a while and said, "Xiaoyu, come here."

Seeing that he had no choice but to lower his head, Qi Yu walked over smugly and said, "Big brother, you'd better apologize sincerely, or I won't accept it."

As soon as she approached Qi Huan, she heard Qi Huan softly call out "Cheng Jing".

Caught off guard, Cheng Jing grabbed Qi Yu's wrist, pulled her close, and slapped her across the face.

"Snapped."

"Ah!" Qi Yu was caught off guard by the slap.

She never expected that Qi Huan would actually dare to let Cheng Jing hit her in front of her father!

Qi Yue was equally shocked, and he stood up.

Qi Tianxiang's face turned as black as an iron pot. "Qi Huan, what are you doing!"

Qi Huan didn't even blink at her father's reprimand and continued calmly, "This is a beating for her, as an adopted daughter of the Qi family, daring to complain to you, Father."

At this point, he raised his hand and instructed, "Cheng Jing, continue."

As soon as Qi Huan finished speaking, Cheng Jing slapped Qi Yu on the other cheek.

"Snapped."

Qi Yu was slapped so hard that she stumbled backward to Qi Tianxiang's feet.

Qi Huan continued, "This is her mocking my disability in front of you, Father."

Qi Yu cried out in tears, "Waaah, Dad, look at my older brother... he's gone too far!"

With a stern face, Qi Tianxiang bent down and helped Qi Yu up. He glared angrily at Qi Huan and said furiously, "Qi Huan, that's enough! I've noticed your temper has gotten worse since your legs became crippled. You don't even listen to me anymore. You're really going to rebel!"

Qi Yu covered her face, her gaze wishing she could poke two holes in Qi Huan.

Qi Huan remained unmoved, only smiling slightly. "Father, don't forget, the reason you have a voice in the family now is entirely because of my achievements that I earned in front of Grandpa. Without me, you would have been nothing in the family before."

His words were very blunt, showing no respect for Qi Tianxiang, who was his father.

Qi Tianxiang's face was indeed terribly ugly.

Qi Huan continued, "Does Father think that I'm useless now that my legs are crippled, while you have a certain say in the Qi family? Even if I'm not in charge, as long as Qi Yue takes over the legend I created, that's fine."

Qi Yue quickly said, "Big brother, you've misunderstood Dad. How could Dad think that way?"

Qi Huan smiled, her voice light, but every word she spoke carried great weight: "No matter what you think, remember this: as long as I am alive, I can destroy everything you own at any time."

"If Father has nothing else to say, I'll be leaving now. I have an appointment to play chess with Grandpa tonight."

At this point, he looked at Qi Yue and smiled thoughtfully, "Speaking of which, it's been three years since Qi Yue came back, and he hasn't been able to play chess with Grandpa even once yet."

Before Qi Yue could respond, Cheng Jing had already pushed Qi Huan's wheelchair out of the hall.

……

After leaving the hall, Qi Huan gazed coldly at the distant night sky, then calmly instructed, "Cheng Jing, have someone secretly investigate my father and find a way to confirm the relationship between Qi Yu and my father."

Cheng Jing was quite surprised upon hearing this, his face showing astonishment. He asked, "Investigating the relationship between your father and Qi Yu?"

Qi Huan glanced at Cheng Jing and said calmly, "Yes."

Cheng Jing quickly and cautiously replied, "I understand."

Qi Huan's eyes were cold.

His younger brother, Qi Yue, was sent away by his grandfather because a fortune teller said he was a nemesis. But now, he has a feeling that things are not so simple.

He simply couldn't understand why Qi Yue would treat his own brother so cruelly, even going so far as to have him assassinated, all for the sake of vying for the position of heir.

And now, her father's attitude towards Qi Yu is even more unusual.

Qi Yu is just an adopted daughter who has only been in the Qi family for three years. Why does her father dote on her so much?
