Capítulo 982: Chapter 970: Qiao Jing’s Backer
After sending off the Sun Family sisters, Qiao Jing came out of the restroom, intending to return to the banquet hall.
Right as she stepped out, she bumped into another woman she found equally annoying.
Qiao Jing rolled her eyes helplessly, suddenly thinking that next time she went out, she should check the calendar to avoid repeatedly encountering such revolting people!
Jin Yufei had been standing outside for quite a while. She had watched everything that happened earlier with a clear understanding.
Now, she blocked Qiao Jing’s way, crossed her arms, and with a face full of disdain, mocked her, “I never expected it, you’re flirting with Zhan Qipei here and also hanging around with Lu Zijin there. You’re not attractive, but your ambitions sure are lofty, trying to latch onto all these top-notch figures!”
Saying this, Jin Yufei suddenly thought of something, and the disdain in her gaze towards Qiao Jing deepened.
“Oh, right, I almost forgot, wasn’t Xu Moqian also hovering around you just now? You’re really fickle, attracting all sorts of bees and butterflies. While others step on two boats, you’re stepping on three. Aren’t you afraid of capsizing and drowning?”
Qiao Jing looked at Jin Yufei expressionlessly, suppressing the urge to kick her flying.
She realized that there are indeed countless self-righteous people in this world. Jiang Zihong is one, the Sun Family sisters are another, and the same goes for this Jin Yufei; they’re all jackals from the same lair!
After a round of cold mockery, Jin Yufei raised her chin and arrogantly warned Qiao Jing.
“I don’t care if you flirt with Lu Zijin and Xu Moqian, or anyone else, but you’d better not target Zhan Qipei, or don’t blame me for being rude!”
Jin Yufei’s warning didn’t register in Qiao Jing’s mind at all.
Her cool brows were already full of impatience, and her tone carried a hint of iciness, “Enough talking? If you’re done, get lost!”
“Or do you want to get hit too?”
Hearing this, Jin Yufei was taken aback, her expression somewhat surprised, as if she hadn’t expected Qiao Jing to dare threaten her.
One should know that their Jin Family is not something a small family like the Sun Family can compare to!
She, Jin Yufei, is not as easy to deal with as the Sun Family sisters!
Coming to her senses, Jin Yufei snorted coldly and threatened, “You better understand, our Jin Family is not just some insignificant family. You, a nobody from a third-rate family, dare to offend our Jin Family?”
Qiao Jing sneered disdainfully, looking at Jin Yufei with indifferent eyes, and said word by word, “I don’t care what family you come from. If you dare provoke me again, believe it or not, I’ll knock your teeth out so you can search for them on the ground!”
As she said this, she stretched out her delicate hand, made a fist, and shook it in front of Jin Yufei.
Being threatened again, Jin Yufei’s face turned with fury.
She very much wanted to rush up and give this ugly woman in front of her a few slaps, but remembering the scene of this ugly woman teaching the Sun Family sisters a lesson just now, she didn’t dare to act rashly.
After all, those sisters, two against one, were beaten miserably.
Now, she was alone and certainly no match for this ugly woman…
Just as Jin Yufei stood fuming but afraid to move, Mother Jin came striding over.
Seeing her precious daughter being bullied, Mother Jin was utterly furious.
She half-squinted her eyes, sized up Qiao Jing from head to toe, then snorted coldly, “So you’re the Qiao Jing from the Qiao Family of Nandu, right? I heard everything you said just now. I’ve heard you’re arrogant, but I didn’t expect you to be so arrogant as to disregard our Jin Family!”
Due to the similarity in features between Mother Jin and Jin Yufei, Qiao Jing immediately recognized that this middle-aged woman who suddenly appeared was Jin Yufei’s mother.
At this moment, Mother Jin crossed her arms, raised her chin high, and looked at Qiao Jing condescendingly, threatening, “You’d better kneel and apologize to my Yufei right now, and swear never to get close to Zhan Qipei, never to appear before him.”
“Otherwise, I’ll make sure your Qiao Family’s branch company can’t survive in the Imperial Capital, and forget about continuing your development in Nandu as well!”
“Don’t think I’m just scaring you; our Jin Family absolutely has the power to make it happen. If you don’t believe me, you can try it!”
Mother Jin’s words did indeed make Qiao Jing wary.
Because she knew that the Jin Family did have that capability. The problems that occurred in the Qiao Family’s project before, causing a cash flow issue, were the tricks of the Jin Family!
At this moment, Qiao Jing felt a bit resentful of her own powerlessness; her hands unconsciously clenched at her sides.
If she could be a little stronger and possess the ability to protect the Qiao Family, she wouldn’t always be threatened with this.
Thinking of this, Qiao Jing made up her mind to work hard to strengthen the Qiao Family and never let anyone arbitrarily threaten them again!
Seeing Qiao Jing’s silent demeanor, Jin Yufei instinctively felt she was scared and immediately began to act smugly.
She wore an expression of a proud, wealthy heiress and said triumphantly, “I’m telling you, arms can’t fight thighs; your Qiao Family is just like an ant that we can squash at will in the eyes of our Jin Family.”
“If you’re smart, keep your head down and stop dreaming of competing with me for men, otherwise, with one word, our Jin Family can make your Qiao Family fall from grace overnight!”
Mother Jin snorted, took out a pre-prepared check from her bag, and tossed it into Qiao Jing’s arms.
“I heard from my Yufei that you thought the fifty thousand and one hundred thousand from before were too little, so here’s a check for five million. Take it and make sure you don’t appear in front of my Yufei and Zhan Qipei again.”
Finishing her high-and-mighty spiel, Mother Jin suddenly thought of something and added, “Oh, and before you leave, lick my Yufei’s shoes clean. That’s the price for bullying my Yufei just now!”
Listening to Mother Jin’s words filled with insult, Qiao Jing’s demeanor turned utterly icy, exuding a chilling aura.
She coldly watched the vile and despicable faces of the Jin mother and daughter, casually grabbed the check in her arms, tore it into shreds in a few swift motions, and flung it forcefully at their faces.
Mother Jin and Jin Yufei were stunned for a moment, and once they realized what had happened, the mother and daughter were so furious their faces turned green.
“You insolent girl, you have some nerve! You really don’t take our Jin Family seriously, do you? I must teach you a lesson today!”
Mother Jin burst out angrily and raised her hand to slap Qiao Jing’s face.
But Qiao Jing was quick, seizing Mother Jin’s swinging hand in one go.
Originally, she intended to hit back, but just before doing so, she suddenly thought that if she really slapped Mother Jin in the face, the Jin Family would surely retaliate against the Qiao Family…
As Qiao Jing hesitated, Mother Jin swung out her other hand.
At the same time, a deep voice suddenly sounded from the side.
“Stop!”
Hearing the voice, Mother Jin’s hand paused mid-air, turning back instinctively.
Qiao Jing also turned to look, and saw Elder Xu walking over with a stern face.
The Jin mother and daughter naturally recognized Xu Hongzu, and upon seeing him approach, Mother Jin somewhat held back her anger, grumpily withdrawing her hand.
