Jing Yunzhao exited the space and pretended to be anxious. She ran out of the room and knocked on the bathroom door.
"Hongye! Hurry up…I can't hold it anymore…" Jing Yunzhao said.
Hongye heard her and continued guarding the bathroom, "Jiejie, I think I ate something bad today. My stomach's hurting so much. You should go somewhere else…"
Somewhere else? The Qiao's weren't rich. They only had one bathroom in the entire house. Qiao Hongye added the laxatives herself. Shouldn't she know how effective it was? If Jing Yunzhao were to walk down the stairs with the upset stomach she had in her past life, she'd shit herself without getting far.
Jing Yunzhao's stomach was fine now, but she wasn't stupid enough to say that. She only stood outside the door and said, "Then…I'll wait for you…"
She was positive that if she said that, Qiao Hongye would stay in the bathroom and refuse to come out.
As expected, when Jing Yunzhao returned to her room, Hongye showed no signs of leaving the bathroom.
Every ten minutes, Jing Yunzhao would knock on the door, increasing the hint of anxiety in her voice every time. The Qiao Hongye in the bathroom was confused. Jing Yunzhaos should've lost control long time ago, but why was she only feeling uncomfortable?
No matter what, Jing Yunzhao should be at the height of her discomfort. If she can hold it that well, then she can just hold it in forever!
The rest of the family didn't know what Qiao Hongye and Jing Yunzhao were doing. Qiao Weimin couldn't hold it in since he drank a little too much that night, but Qiao Hongye refused to come out. No matter how forgiving Qiao Weimin was towards his biological daughter, there would be times when he couldn't stand her.
"Are you fucking laying an egg in there?! Come out!" Qiao Weimin said. His whole body reeking of alcohol. Even Qiao Hongye could feel his impatience and anger.
Qiao Hongye always had an image of a good, obedient child. Sometimes she would trip Jing Yunzhao, but she'd never do anything unfilial in public. After all, her reputation was very important to her.
Qiao Hongye opened the door immediately when she heard Qiao Weimin roar.
Qiao Weimin pulled her out of the way. Since she was not very strong herself, she slammed against the wall and fell hard on the floor.
"What's wrong, Hongye? You can't stand?" Jing Yunzhao sneered as she leaned against her bedroom doorway.
The Jing Yunzhao before Qiao Hongye was calm and unlike the one who begged her to leave the bathroom. Seeing Jing Yunzhao acting as if the porridge had no effect on made Qiao Hongye pause. She blurted out, "How are you okay?"
"My stomach did hurt a little but now I'm okay. But you were in the bathroom for a long time. Was there a special reason for that?" Sneered Jing Yunzhao.
Qiao Hongye kept her anger and frustration in her heart, allowing those emotions to boil.
She stood up unsteadily and then ran towards her own room. She only had to take a few steps, but she kept falling. I was not unreasonable. She had been in the bathroom for hours. It would've been weird if her legs hadn't fallen asleep!
Jing Yunzhao looked at Qiao Hongye's miserable self, and coldness flashed in her eyes. This was only revenge on a small scale. It'll never be enough to satisfy her!
Tonight, things went on as usual.
Ye Qin's miserable moans and groans came from the master bedroom and accompanying those gasps of the bedridden were the snores of Qiao Weimin. It was weird that Qiao Hongye didn't make any moves.
Curing Ye Qin's illness was above Jing Yunzhao's abilities, and she had never even thought of treating Ye Qin. Jing Yunzhao stayed in her room that night and the next day. She was trying to gain more of the jade's knowledge in her space.
