Everyone stiffened, especially Qiao Wen whose expression suddenly dropped.
Qiao Xue stopped clapping, and the whole room suddenly became eerily quiet as they watch Grandpa Qiao made his way down the marble staircase. Pulan's parents stood by his side, offering support for the old man while the butler followed silently behind.
Pulan's eyes watered as she spotted her mother and father coming down the stairs. It turns out what Qiao Wen had said wasn't true.
She almost believed it. Qiao ShenJi once again regain his calm composure and took Pulan's hand in his.
Finally the old man reached the bottom of the steps with an exasperated sigh. What was this? The family were at each other's throats once again. And no one was standing up for his precious granddaughter, not even her own sister and brother. Poor child.
At the very least, Qiao Minde taught the culprit a lesson. But this lesson seems.... too much.
