From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 65 - : Calling Sister-in-law

Chapter 65 -65: Calling Sister-in-law

Qiao Yi really disliked people who casually got touchy-feely, even if they did so with good intentions, but sometimes good intentions pave the way to bad outcomes!

Just moments ago, only the cake that had bumped into her chest was being wiped by the woman, and now Qiao Yi’s entire upper body was smeared with cake, making her look extremely disheveled.

“No need, I’ll just go back and change my clothes!”

Qiao Yi was already getting impatient. She quickly turned her hand to shake off the person gripping her hand, but to her surprise, the grip was so strong that she couldn’t shake the person off.

“You… Bai Lingling?”

Qiao Yi turned her head and to her shock, the person holding onto her was none other than Bai Lingling, whom she had just met a few days ago.

...

Wasn’t this person still studying abroad in France a few days ago? How could she have returned so soon?

“Ah! Miss Qiao, I’m really sorry for dirtying your clothes!”

Bai Lingling’s expression was apologetic, but her eyes gleamed with delight. Even after Qiao Yi pushed her hand away, Bai Lingling didn’t relent and tried to wipe cake on Qiao Yi’s face.

“It’s okay, it’s just a pity these cakes went to waste… Ah!”

Qiao Yi was stunned for a moment then laughed it off generously, stepping back. However, she forgot that her hand was still being held by Bai Lingling, and was abruptly pulled onto Bai Lingling.

Bai Lingling was already shorter than Qiao Yi, and today Qiao Yi was wearing a pair of heels that were twelve centimeters high. Bai Lingling stood in front of her a whole half-head shorter.

The sudden collision from Qiao Yi was no big deal, but she ended up pressing Bai Lingling’s head against her chest.

By the time Qiao Yi let out a cry and pushed Bai Lingling away while holding her chest, Bai Lingling’s face and body were also covered with a layer of cream and cake debris.

“Oh dear, I am so sorry, Miss Bai, are you okay? Look, I forgot you were holding on to me, let’s get a doctor to see if you are injured!”

Qiao Yi bent down to help Bai Lingling with concern, but as Bai Lingling’s eyes were caked with cake, hearing Qiao Yi’s voice made her heart burn with rage.

What does she mean by saying she was holding onto her? It was clearly Qiao Yi who bumped into her, yet her words twisted the blame onto Bai Lingling!

Bai Lingling was internally vexed, and even more annoyed when her arm was touched, impulsively pushing away the person who dared to touch her.

Qiao Yi screamed, propelled backwards by the force of Bai Lingling’s shove.

She had perfectly calculated her falling angle, making sure she would lean on the stair’s railing, ensuring no injury and minimal pain.

However, the anticipated result did not materialize, as Lu Yanchuan, appearing just in time, steadily caught her.

Seeing Lu Yanchuan infuriated Qiao Yi!

Look at the two of them who turned out tonight, wasn’t each one looking to trouble her, all for Lu Yanchuan’s sake!

Qiao Xin almost ruined her face, confining her to bed for several days to recover!

Now here was Bai Lingling, trying to play the white lotus and green tea act, simply aiming to make her look ridiculous!

The more Qiao Yi thought, the angrier she got, and she twisted a pinch of flesh around Lu Yanchuan’s waist.

Lu Yanchuan just squinted from the pain, and seeing his expression hardly change, she was certain she had exerted strength, how could Lu Yanchuan remain so unfazed?

Doubting the reality of it, Qiao Yi twisted again only to see that Lu Yanchuan didn’t even flinch this time. Biting her teeth, she tried the same on her own arm, nearly bursting into tears.

Damn it hurts! Lu Yanchuan is a freak!

The exchange between the two was merely a fleeting moment, as Lu Yanchuan draped his suit jacket over Qiao Yi to cover her dishevelment, and then turned to look at Bai Lingling with Qiao Yi in his arms.

At that instance, Bai Lingling had finally wiped her face clean of the cake, and upon seeing Lu Yanchuan, she suddenly played the victim, pointing at Qiao Yi and beginning to accuse.

“Yanchuan! I just accidentally bumped into Miss Qiao, and she deliberately smeared the cake on herself all over me! It’s too much!”

“Sister-in-law.”

“Huh?”

Bai Lingling was momentarily unable to follow Lu Yanchuan’s train of thought and let out a bewildered noise.

Lu Yanchuan frowned with impatience.

“I mean, you should call her sister-in-law, or aunt.”

By seniority, she should call her aunt; following Bai Lingling’s usual practice, she should call her sister-in-law. In any case, she shouldn’t call her Miss Qiao.

Qiao Yi suppressed a smile, thinking about how hard she had been on Lu Yanchuan just now, she suddenly felt a twinge of guilt and discreetly patted Lu Yanchuan’s waist under his suit jacket as consolation.

Bai Lingling’s face was filled with disbelief, which, combined with the remnants of colorful cream on her face, looked extremely comical.

“Aren’t you going to do anything about her treating me like this!”

“Miss Bai, I’m sorry for accidentally bumping into you earlier, but to be bumped into in such a wide space, doesn’t it prove that we are fated to cross paths?”

Listening to Qiao Yi’s nonsensical apology, Bai Lingling clenched her teeth in anger.

What fate! Qiao Yi was clearly insinuating that it was Bai Lingling who had bumped into her first, suggesting she was the provocateur, and if Bai Lingling were to bring it up again, Qiao Yi certainly wouldn’t let it go so easily!

Of course, Qiao Yi did not plan to let it go so easily.

What did these people take her for?

No matter how little she liked Lu Yanchuan, he was still her man, Qiao Yi, and she couldn’t let these people pry as they pleased!

Qiao Yi looked at Bai Lingling’s ashen face and, inexplicably, a flash of an image crossed her mind.

In a car, someone was sitting in the passenger seat, but when she turned her head, it was Bai Lingling’s face!

Qiao Yi shivered all over, trying hard to grasp that fleeting image in her mind.

“What’s wrong? Cold?”

Lu Yanchuan’s voice interrupted Qiao Yi’s thoughts.

Qiao Yi shook her head, but when she looked at Bai Lingling again, her mood was somewhat heavy.

On the day she was kidnapped, because she had drunk alcohol and had been drugged after getting into the car, her memory of that day was very faint, with only some vague fragments remaining. She only began to remember these incidents after Lu Yanchuan talked to her about them later.

Qiao Yi wasn’t sure if the image in her head was real or her own illusion.

Could Bai Lingling really have done something as terrible as hiring someone to harm her?

The more she looked at Bai Lingling, the less she seemed like someone capable of such a deed!

Maybe Bai Lingling could talk back harshly in front of her or bump into her at a banquet, but for something this serious, Bai Lingling might not have the courage!

Qiao Yi weighed her thoughts for a moment and patted Lu Yanchuan’s arm.

“I’m tired, I’m going upstairs to change clothes. I’ll leave this to you.”

Without waiting for Lu Yanchuan to nod, Qiao Yi wrapped herself in Lu Yanchuan’s suit and headed up the stairs.

The commotion here wasn’t small, and many people had turned to look, Bai Lingling’s face turned redder and redder under the gaze of the crowd, until finally, she couldn’t help but cover her face and run away.

Lu Yanchuan wasn’t afraid of a young girl’s tears, but he was more troubled by the aftermath of her crying.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, the crowd dispersed, and Lu Xiaohua came over, pulling Lu Yanchuan into a quiet corner to demand answers.

“What happened here? Why is Lingling in such a state? Did you bully Lingling?”
