The Reincarnated Goddess is Fierce Chapter 575 - How Are They Related

Chapter 575: How Are They Related

Having been berated by her father, Li Weiyun hung her head low in dismay.
He was right. There was no way she could absolve herself of responsibility.
However, she couldn’t help but wonder how Xia Xibei knew that the stone contained imperial green jade.
The reason why it turned out to be a trap was mainly because the ore had ended up containing imperial green jade.
If it hadn’t, Li Weiyun would have avoided the scam, and it would have been great, as Xia Xibei would have ended up the victim.
Nevertheless, it did contain a priceless treasure!
“How on earth did she know it contained treasure?” Li Weiyun couldn’t help but mumble under her breath.
Li Sheng’s brows creased into a frown. He was equally bewildered.
That was a problem indeed.
“What is Xia Xibei’s actual background?” He queried.
“She’s nothing but an orphan abandoned by her parents!” Li Weiyun blurted out.
Li Sheng raised his brows, “Orphan? How’s she related to Qiao Yanjue then?”
Li Weiyun’s eyes went wide, demanding, “How did you know that?!”
“How did I know?” Li Sheng gave an angry laugh. “Ask Uncle Zhang!”
Uncle Zhang still looked flustered, but he replied, “Mr. Qiao came over when you passed out earlier.”
He had met Qiao Yanjue before, so he had recognized him.
He was shocked when he saw Qiao Yanjue walking up to Xia Xibei. Not only were they acquaintances, they even seemed close.
“Yanjue came?!” Li Weiyun was taken aback. “Then he-”
“He left with Miss Xia!” Uncle Zhang said with annoyance. “He saw you passing out and asked me to take you away.”
“What?!” Li Weiyun felt her heart sink.
Uncle Zhang was upset that they missed the priceless imperial jade, so he didn’t want Li Weiyun to feel good either.
“That’s a lot of money that Miss Xia has received, 300 million! Who wouldn’t want it? But Mr. Qiao took her away right after he got there.”
There were people who knew Qiao Yanjue, and they were curious about how he seemed close with Xia Xibei.
Weren’t the Qiaos going to make him marry Li Weiyun? Why did it not appear that way? Qiao Yanjue was so cold towards Li Weiyun.
As far as they could see, Qiao Yanjue left without even paying much attention to Li Weiyun.
With Qiao Yanjue around, those who coveted money knew how to behave themselves.
Uncle Zhang’s words made Li Weiyun’s blood run cold.
She thought that Qiao Yanjue had sent her to the hospital!
“How are they related?” Li Sheng asked with a sullen face. “Didn’t you tell me that you would win that guy’s heart?”
Although Qiao Yanjue was the youngest child in his family, the wise ones knew that he would take over the Qiao family in the future.
Therefore, Li Sheng was happy when he found out that Li Weiyun liked Qiao Yanjue.
However, not only was their marriage proposal declined, Qiao Yanjue was even hanging around with a young lady now.
Li Sheng couldn’t help but have second thoughts.
Li Weiyun blushed when her father questioned her about that.
She was blushing out of rage!
She felt weak and giddy, unable to speak.
At last, she grabbed the blanket from the side and covered her head with it, using silence as a response.
Seeing her that way, Li Sheng was so angry that he actually laughed, and all he could say was, “Talk to me once you’ve gotten your act together!”
He left with Uncle Zhang right after that.
Huddled under the covers, Li Weiyun felt so distressed and upset that she began crying.
After some time, the door was opened.
“Get out!”
Her voice sounded muffled under the covers.
“Weiyun, what happened?”
The gentle female voice made Li Weiyun lift the covers.
Surprised, she stared at the visitor.
“Cousin, why are you here?”
