My Identities Were All Exposed After I Was Pampered by Everyone at My Grandfather’s House!

173 Question

Qiao Yue didn’t expect Qiao Jing to hear her when she spoke so softly just now.

Mahad was a famous casino in D-Country. It wasn’t just in the gaming business; it also dealt with prostitution and drugs.

Qiao Yi’s years abroad weren’t for naught. He somehow managed to know the second-in-command of Mahad. Qiao Yi’s human trafficking in C-Country this time was instigated by Mahad’s second-in-command.

This was one of the data points YQ had given to Qiao Yue. She had memorized it and didn’t expect to use it so quickly.

“Brother, you have really good hearing.” Qiao Yue shrugged as she said.

“I didn’t hear you. I read your lips.” Qiao Jing didn’t hide from Qiao Yue that he knew how to lipread.

Qiao Yue’s eyes widened in surprise. Her brother had so many skills.

“Brother, don’t you know that I have some influence? I found the information.” Qiao Yue said indifferently after she recovered from the shock.

Qiao Jing stared at Qiao Yue and drummed his fingers rhythmically on the table, making Qiao Yue a little flustered.

“The CIO of KA was able to find this information?” Qiao Jing asked.

Qiao Jing’s question stunned Qiao Yue, and she frowned. Her brother had already found out so much. If he could find KA, it’s a matter of time before he found out that she’s the behind-the-scenes boss of KA.

Qiao Yue started to doubt her brother’s identity. Many people had done background checks on her, but Qiao Jing was the first person who manage to trace her to KA. Who then was her brother? She didn’t think that Qiao Jing was just someone running a company.

“Xiao Yue, I told you not to use your methods with the Qiao family.” Qiao Jing said.

Qiao Yue’s face turned cold when she realized that Qiao Jing was here to criticize her.

“Brother, you heard what Qiao Yi said just now. If I don’t have any other means, should I just let them gossip about my mother? Let them accuse Grandpa?”

Qiao Jing frowned. He knew that his mother and the elders from the other two families were hostile to Qiao Yue. However, if Qiao Yue exposed herself, there’s no saying that they wouldn’t gang up against her.

“No,” Qiao Jing sighed.

“I just don’t want you to get into unnecessary trouble. With Grandpa favoring you, those who are after the Qiao family business will investigate you till the end if they find out that you have other authority.”

Qiao Jing didn’t finish what he was trying to say but Qiao Yue already understood. Once they found out who she was, they would eliminate her.

Knowing that Qiao Jing was just concerned about her, Qiao Yue smiled and said, “Brother, you make it sound like they won’t attack me if I don’t have other authority.”

“If you give up the Qiao family business as you did today, they won’t do anything to you. I can also protect you.” Qiao Jing said quietly.

If Qiao Yue was just an ordinary younger brother, Qiao Jing would naturally protect her since she had caught his eye. However, Qiao Yue’s identity was special. Even if he wanted to protect her, he was afraid that he couldn’t. After all, he still had to worry about his parents.

Qiao Yue’s eyes softened when she heard Qiao Jing’s words. Qiao Jing was right. If she was just an ordinary person, he would be able to protect her, but she was not.

Qiao Yue got up with a smile, walked over to Qiao Jing, and squatted down beside him.

“Brother, you’re already protecting me.”

Qiao Yue was powerful, so powerful that even if all of them worked together, they wouldn’t be able to touch her. However, she still craved kinship and wanted someone to truly care about her.

Qiao Jing didn’t say anything and just looked down at her.

Qiao Yue looked into Qiao Jing’s eyes and suddenly wanted to ask if he was the one who saved her the other night.

Qiao Yue opened her mouth, but when the words were at the tip of her tongue, she suddenly changed the question. “Brother, if one day your mother decides to come after me, what would you do?”

This wasn’t a stupid question like who he would save first if his wife and mother fell into the sea at the same time. It was a question about which side he would stand on if their grandfather and the first madam had different opinions.

The old master’s favoritism towards her was obvious to all. If Qiao Jing only wanted to help his biological mother, she would prepare herself and not put Qiao Jing in a difficult position. She was also curious about Qiao Jing’s stand.

“I won’t let mother have the opportunity to go after you.” Qiao Jing said seriously, looking into Qiao Yue’s eyes.

“What if she secretly ganged up with the other two families?” Qiao Yue probed.

After a moment of silence, Qiao Jing said, “If my mother was the one who incited them against you, I will not side with her and will do my best to protect you. However, if my mother’s safety is threatened, I will not stand by and do nothing.”
