75: Chapter 75 Accidentally Entering the Imperial Family: The True Noble Male Supporting Character 36

The next day.

Chu Yunting was woken up by a frantic phone ringtone.

Seeing "Qiao Zhenghong" on the caller ID, a flash of confusion crossed his eyes.

He initially wanted to hang up, but on a whim, he pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Nephew Chu!"

On the other end of the line, Qiao Zhenghong's voice was enthusiastically, almost hypocritically, warm.

"Apologies for the intrusion. I don't know if you have time today, but I'd like to invite you over for a casual meal so we can have a good talk about you and Qiao Chuxia."

Me and Qiao Chuxia?

Chu Yunting was stunned.

Hadn't the relationship between the Qiao Family and Qiao Chuxia already broken down?

What kind of act was this?

Chu Yunting felt conflicted. Despite his doubts, he decided to go and see for himself.

Meanwhile, a black Maybach was driving smoothly on the way to Tianhai University.

In the back seat, Qiao Chuxia was holding a tablet, reading the latest business analysis report while flipping through files from Canxing.

Since getting to know Meng Zhu better, Qiao Chuxia noticed that he often found time to study.

This influenced her positively, making her cherish her free time to improve herself even more.

Just as the vehicle was about to enter the downtown area, the walkie-talkie on the center console suddenly sounded.

"Uncle Li, pull over and wait here for ten minutes."

Amidst the static, Wang Peng's calm command came from the vehicle behind.

Uncle Li didn't say a word, nor did he hesitate, immediately pulling the car over and stopping.

Qiao Chuxia was a bit confused.

"What's wrong?"

Uncle Li glanced at her through the rearview mirror, his expression unchanged.

"Miss, there's a small issue. Please wait in the car. It won't take more than ten minutes. You are very safe."

Trouble?

Qiao Chuxia instinctively looked out the window, but saw nothing. The surrounding traffic was normal and peaceful.

However, what she couldn't see was that the moment they stopped, several seemingly ordinary black commercial vehicles behind them were forcibly intercepted by Wang Peng.

Dozens of tall bodyguards immediately rushed out of those cars.

Their goal was to kidnap Qiao Chuxia and take her back to the Qiao Family.

But they were intercepted by the black cars blocking the middle of the road, and Wang Peng and his subordinates calmly opened their car doors.

There were no intense sounds of fighting, no panicked screams.

In the ten minutes Qiao Chuxia spent reading her files, the battle had ended in a crushing victory.

Every member of Wang Peng's team was an elite capable of taking on ten men, and in just a short moment, they had subdued everyone.

At the same time, Wang Peng mobilized more personnel to arrive, sealing off and clearing the area to ensure no traces were left behind and no fish slipped through the net.

Inside the car, Qiao Chuxia actually had some suspicions, but things were different now. She wouldn't feel the slightest bit panicked, a testament to her trust in Wang Peng's team.

After about ten minutes, the walkie-talkie rang again, and it was Wang Peng's voice.

"Miss, the matter has been resolved. We can continue. We caught some people and are currently interrogating them; we will have results shortly."

"Good, thank you for your hard work."

Qiao Chuxia replied, and the vehicle started moving again, as if everything that had just happened never occurred.

A long time later, as she was approaching the school, Wang Peng called, his tone laced with a hint of strangeness.

"Miss, the interrogation results are in. The masterminds are Qiao Zhenghong and Qiao Yuze. They sent these people to kidnap you and take you back to the Qiao Family."

Wang Peng paused.

"There is also unconfirmed news that the purpose of taking you back to the Qiao Family is to force you into a marriage alliance..."

"..."

There was a silence of several seconds on the other end of the line.

Then, a very faint laugh filled with mockery and anger came through the receiver.

"Heh."

Qiao Chuxia was almost laughed with anger.

They were the ones who kicked her out of the house, and they were the ones who abused her when they couldn't use her. Now, for the sake of the family's interests, they actually wanted to use such despicable tactics to kidnap her back for a marriage alliance?

How dare they? If she actually went through with the marriage alliance, her first condition would be to take revenge on the Qiao Family.

"Stop the car."

A cold glint flashed in her eyes; Qiao Chuxia hadn't hung up the phone yet.

"Wang Peng."

Her voice was as cold as ice.

"Notify the legal department, and then bring everyone you caught, along with their confessions."

"We are going to the Qiao Family right now."

Not long after.

At the Qiao Family villa, the atmosphere in the living room was pleasant.

Qiao Zhenghong wore a hypocritical smile as he diligently poured tea for Chu Yunting.

Beside them, Qiao Yuze and Old Madam were all smiles, while Mother Qiao sat nervously to the side, not daring to speak.

"Yunting, Chuxia is just stubborn and willful, used to being wild in the countryside, but women, you know, they settle down once they get married."

He spoke with the tone of someone who knew better.

"Once she gets back, I'll give her a good talking-to. The marriage alliance will definitely not be a problem."

Chu Yunting held his teacup, distracted.

An indescribable sense of dissonance and anxiety filled his mind.

Would Qiao Chuxia be willing to enter a marriage alliance with him?

While he was lost in thought, the villa's front door was pushed open from the outside.

"Sir, the Second Miss is back!"

A servant ran in, panicked.

"So she's back, what's with all the fuss!"

Qiao Zhenghong scolded unhappily, then looked toward the door.

"Chuxia, you're back. Hurry, Nephew Chu has been waiting for you for a long time..."

His words came to an abrupt halt.

Because it wasn't just Qiao Chuxia who walked in.

Her long hair was tied up high, revealing her smooth forehead and cold, aloof eyes; her expression was overbearing.

Behind her followed the expressionless Wang Peng, as well as two strangers carrying briefcases.

At first, Qiao Zhenghong thought Qiao Chuxia had realized the situation and returned with the bodyguards who had gone to catch her.

Now, seeing this, it was clearly not the case.

He didn't know that in the courtyard outside the villa, several black cars were blocking all exits, and dozens of bodyguards in black had already taken control of the entire villa.

"Qiao Chuxia, what is the meaning of this? Who are these people?"

Qiao Yuze was the first to stand up, asking the question with a show of bluster.

But Qiao Chuxia's gaze didn't even linger on him for a second.

She walked straight to the center of the living room, her cold eyes sweeping over everyone sitting on the sofa, only showing a hint of surprise when she saw Chu Yunting, then completely ignoring him.

"Sit."

She said only one word.

Qiao Zhenghong and Qiao Yuze hadn't sat back down.

Wang Peng, however, picked up a chair with one hand and placed it directly in the center of the living room, behind Qiao Chuxia.

Qiao Chuxia sat down naturally and waved her hand lightly.

Regardless of whether the Qiao father and son sat down or not, the two strangers immediately walked to the coffee table and took a stack of documents out of their briefcases.

Qiao Zhenghong's face turned livid: "Qiao Chuxia, what do you want? What crazy thing are you doing now?"

Old Madam also pounded the floor with her cane, cursing loudly: "You uneducated wild girl! There are guests in the house, what kind of scene are you making now?"

Qiao Chuxia turned a deaf ear, as if what was in front of her was just a clumsy farce.

Until the legal personnel pushed the documents in front of Qiao Zhenghong.

The papers spread out, with bold black characters at the top—《Agreement to Sever Parent-Child Relationship》.

"Sign it."

Qiao Chuxia's voice was devoid of any warmth.

"You... you rebellious daughter!"

Qiao Zhenghong was trembling with rage, grabbing the agreement, ready to tear it up.

"It's useless to tear it up; I have many copies."

Qiao Chuxia said indifferently.

"Whether you sign it or not today, you will."

"By what right? Just because of that shady person you found?"

Qiao Yuze also chimed in, his face red.

"Qiao Chuxia, let me tell you, don't be ungrateful! The Chu Family is not someone your wild man can afford to provoke. Letting you come back today is giving you a chance; letting you marry into the Chu Family is your good fortune!"
