When Su Yan heard Qiao Xin’s words, the slightly favorable impression he just formed of Qiao Nian instantly vanished.

He knew it. How could Qiao Nian not like him, Su Yan?

Back then, Qiao Nian had even burned down a school building for him.

“She’s still as disgusting as ever,” Su Yan sneered.

Qiao Xin flushed. She spoke up for Qiao Nian. “Actually, Sister didn’t do anything wrong. Don’t keep getting angry at her.”

Su Yan frowned, but remained quiet.

Qiao Xin continued to persuade him. “Just by attending the party, Sister was framed. If she wasn’t so smart, she might have made a fool of herself. Look, my sister is still as clever as ever!”

“Qiao Xin, you’re too kind! Qiao Nian must have been really lucky in her past life to gain a good sister like you,” Su Yan said with a serious expression.

Qiao Xin smiled and shook her head. She replied sweetly, “Brother Su Yan, don’t say that. She’s my sister. In the past, she often used to take care of me.”

Hearing Qiao Xin’s words, Su Yan felt that Qiao Xin was truly an obedient and sensible girl. She was the complete opposite of Qiao Nian, who only knew how to cause trouble.

Seeing Su Yan’s approving expression, Qiao Xin lowered her gaze coquettishly. Her lips curved up a little.

She was determined to make Gu Zhou hate Qiao Nian just like Su Yan did. She would make Gu Zhou fall in love with her but dance out of reach—she would make Gu Zhou pine for her!

“You wretch! Hurry up and apologize!” Matriarch Shen looked at Shen Xing in exasperation and anger, her brow furrowed tightly. “All else aside, just consider the drugging incident tonight. Someone has tampered with your dress. This has nothing to do with Qiao Nian.”

Shen Xing’s eyes were red-rimmed, and her tears fell uncontrollably.

Shen Xing had initially thought that she would be able to find clues regarding her sister’s disappearance this time round, but she did not expect to suffer a double loss.

She understood clearly that if she didn’t apologize, tonight’s matter would no longer just be between Qiao Nian and herself. Instead, it would be between the Shen family and the Gu family.

And the Shen family could not afford to offend the Gu family.

“I-I’m sorry!” Shen Xing said with extreme reluctance. One by one, her tears fell onto the cobblestones below her feet.

“Miss Qiao, our Xing Xing was in the wrong. Her reputation has been damaged because of you; surely that’s enough punishment. I hope that you’ll be the bigger person and grant her forgiveness.” Smiling, Shen Ming tried to smooth things over.

Qiao Nian’s eyes suddenly lit up. She smiled back at Shen Ming and asked, “Mr. Shen, I agree that Miss Shen Xing’s reputation has been damaged, but this has nothing to do with me. Instead of investigating who touched her gown, you’re pinning the blame on me. Do you think I’m weak and easy to bully?”

Weak?

Easy to bully?

The corner of Shen Ming’s mouth spasmed, and several conflicting emotions flashed across his face. He hurriedly left with Shen Xing.

Qiao Nian didn’t want to stay any longer either, so she made her goodbyes.

When she arrived at the door of the Shen family’s house, a young master who reeked of alcohol strode over. Stopping Qiao Nian in her tracks, he stared unblinkingly at her. “Hey, gorgeous, wanna hang out?”

Suppressing her rage, Qiao Nian said coldly, “Please move aside!”

“Oh, you even smell good!” The man said, sniffing Qiao Nian hard. “Do play with me. I’m rich, you know!”

Brazenly, the man looked Qiao Nian up and down, his eyes full of lasciviousness. “What a figure!”

Pursing her lips, Qiao Xin glared coldly at the man. Her blood was boiling with rage. She turned away and walked around the man, heading outside.

The man continued barring her way with utmost persistence. He yearned to take off his clothes right there and then and spend a whole night with this beauty.

Qiao Nian quickened her pace, her face slightly flushed.

Previously, she had indeed fallen into Shen Xing’s trap. She could smell the lust drug on Shen Xing’s body, but she had sealed her acupuncture points with a silver needle after she left!

As time passed, the numbing effect of her acupoints began to wear off.. The lust drug was about to take effect.

Five years ago, Qiao Nian was schemed against by her sister, Qiao Xin. After spending a night with a stranger, Qiao Nian got pregnant. She did not know who the father of the child was, and eventually gave birth to a stillborn. Under the machinations of her mother and sister, Qiao Nian was stripped off of her shares in Qiao Group and sent to a mental hospital.

Five years later, her younger sister, Qiao Xin, was going to be married off to the Second Young Master of the Gu family. He was rumored to be extremely ugly. On the day he was born, the doctor predicted that he would not live past twenty years old. Her mother could not bear to see Qiao Xin marry such a person and thought of Qiao Nian, who was still locked in the mental hospital. Overnight, Qiao Nian was taken out of the hospital to replace Qiao Xin in her marriage into the Gu family.

Her mother said, "It's a good thing that Qiao Nian, this good-for-nothing, can replace Xin'er to be a living widow in the Gu family. If Xin'er were to marry into that family, I would be heartbroken."

Qiao Xin said, "Mom, don't say that about Sister. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't know what to do. I'm just worried that Sister wouldn't agree."

Her father said, "Xin'er, you're too kind. Have you forgotten how Qiao Nian slandered you five years ago? She has no self-restraint. She got pregnant before marriage and even gave birth to a stillborn child. We're treating her well enough by letting her marry someone from the prestigious Gu family! What right does she have to be picky?"

Qiao Nian sneered. Back then, the scheme against her had only succeeded due to a freak combination of factors, causing her to suffer. She was going to get back at all of them! Everyone thought that her actions were borne from a combination of a loser's mentality and mental illness, but little did they know that this marriage would be a strong union as impactful as Mars crashing into Earth! Taking advantage of her brilliant skills in medicine, Qian Nian made various trashy people and scumbags eat their words. In the blink of an eye, her multiple identities shocked the world as each of them got exposed. It turned out that she was rich enough to rival a country!

Later on, Second Young Master Gu placed a pair of Qiao Nian's miniature clones in front of her. Faced with these two children who resembled her and Gu Zhou, Qiao Nian blinked in shock. "When did I give birth to your children?"
