Qiao Xuan removed her hands from her face, revealing a swollen left cheek. Despite the pain, she remained composed and not excessively angered.
Her original plan was to provoke Qiao Hongxi into taking action, but Shao Yunduan had intervened, causing her to reconsider. However, Qiao Hongxi had still struck her with full force, leaving a stinging sensation.
Shao Yunduan gently touched her face, filled with remorse and guilt. "I'm sorry…"
Qiao Xuan smiled and shook her head in response.
She glanced at Madame Yuezheng and the others, a sneer forming on her lips. "Qiao Hongxi attacked me first. Are you all blind? Is the Qiao Family always so shameless? Am I arrogant? No matter how arrogant I may be, I cannot compare to the Qiao Family. You not only exhibit arrogance, but also distort the truth and bully others!"
"Madame Lady Qiao, is this how the Qiao Family behaves? It's truly pitiful! No wonder you find yourselves in such dire straits."
