1425 Qiao Chen ‘Accidentally’ Hurt Her Hand
Qiao Chen gritted her teeth and looked up. She composed herself and looked at Qiao Nian. “I didn’t take your things.”
“Try it, then.” Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows noncommittally, looking quite cool.
Qiao Chen looked at her hand holding the spray and gritted her teeth. Her beautiful eyes flashed and she said, “Since you don’t believe me, I can try… but if it wasn’t me, you have to apologize to me.”
Qiao Nian clicked her tongue, her eyes frivolous. She looked at her teasingly, as if waiting for her next performance.
Qiao Chen took a deep breath and hesitated for a long time before walking over slowly. She reached out to take the spray from Qiao Nian’s hand.
That was when the accident happened.
Qiao Chen stumbled and seemed to have lost her balance. She accidentally tripped and fell to the side.
Qiao Chen ‘panicked’ and grabbed to the side. The iron porcelain teacup on the table was suddenly overturned and the boiling tea inside poured onto the back of her hand.
Qiao Chen cried out in pain and covered her hand. She had already fallen to the ground.
“Chen Chen!” Shen Qiongzhi was shocked and quickly ran over to help her stand up. Her heart ached when she saw that Qiao Chen’s right hand was covered in blisters from the hot tea.
She quickly blew on it. “Why are you so careless? Does it hurt?”
Qiao Chen’s face was pale from the pain. Tears quickly gathered in her eyes, but she still shook her head stubbornly and comforted her. “Mom, I’m fine.”
The more she acted like this, the more Shen Qiongzhi’s heart ached.
“How can you say you’re okay when your hand is burned like that! No, Mom will take you to the hospital immediately.”
Her heart was filled with thoughts of Qiao Chen’s scalded hand. She turned her head and said to Qiao Nian domineeringly, “Are you done fooling around? I don’t care who stole your hard drive or whether it was your sister. Enough is enough. I’m going to take your sister to the hospital. Get your men to move aside!”
Her attitude was undeniably nasty.
Qin Si’s originally friendly expression instantly turned cold.
Who did Shen Qiongzhi think she was?
How ignorant must she be to dare to criticize Qiao Nian on this occasion!
Qiao Nian had a good temper. Seeing that Qiao Chen had ‘accidentally’ scalded her right hand with the hot tea, she slowly placed the alcohol spray on the table beside her.
She picked up a wet tissue and wiped her fingers clean. Then, Qiao Nian threw the wet tissue into the trash can and looked up at the girl, who was in so much pain that tears were about to fall from her eyes. She sneered. “Qiao Chen, you believed me when I said that the hard drive was coated with potassium permanganate?”
The cup of hot tea had been splashed on the back of Qiao Chen’s hand. At this moment, the skin was so scalded that she wanted to scream. She looked up in disbelief when Qiao Nian said that. “What do you mean?”
Qiao Chen wasn’t stupid. She had already guessed the truth.
“You lied to me? You didn’t even put anything on it. You just bluffed me?”
Qiao Chen’s face turned pale as if it was about to disappear when she realized this.
She almost died of humiliation when she realized that she had once again been played like a monkey by the other party.
Her mind went blank. The string in her nerve was so tight it almost snapped.
Qin Si also looked like he had seen a ghost and couldn’t react. “Sister Qiao, you didn’t do anything to the hard drive?”
“No.” Qiao Nian nodded, admitting it readily. “I’m not a god. I prepared two hard drives in advance just in case, but I didn’t expect anyone to really court death.”
