I am Qiao Jing, and I'm back.

When Qiao Jing said these words, her voice was light and faint but incredibly clear to everyone's ears!

The return of a person who had disappeared for over ten years brought indescribable emotions of deep reflection to the hearts of those present.

To the members of the Qiao family, however, Qiao Jing’s words were like a sudden clap of thunder on a quiet day, leaving them in utter bewilderment and unable to think straight!

This single sentence shattered what little hope remained within their hearts!

“Since I've returned, I don’t plan on leaving.” Qiao Jing’s next words plunged the members of the Qiao family into an even deeper abyss of despair!

No longer planning to leave.

"What does she mean by that Does it mean she doesn't intend to go" Qiao Shanyou trembled as he asked his brother, Qiao Hanbing, beside him.

“It should… It should be what she means,” Qiao Hanbing’s voice also quivered slightly. He nodded with great difficulty and fixed his eyes on the figure on stage.

"The show is about to begin; things are going to get heated at the Qiao family now." There were indeed people around who enjoyed watching a spectacle and were cheerfully observing.

"What should we do, what should we do This woman must not be allowed to stay..." A vicious glint appeared in Qiao Chenglin's eyes. More than ten years ago, their actions had been discovered by Qiao Jing. To prevent her from retaliating against them, they preemptively bribed the people she trusted most, fabricated evidence to frame her, and hired others to kill her.

It could be said that Qiao Chengying and Qiao Chenglin were the two people feeling most anxious about Qiao Jing's return.

"Back then I left Hong Kong in disgrace, stumbling out like a deserter." Qiao Jing's smile was somewhat forlorn, tinged with nostalgia. She followed up with an amused laugh: "More than ten years later, I've returned. So whatever they did to me, I will return it."

Declaration of war!

Although Qiao Jing’s tone was light and calm, no one could overlook the firm resolve in her words.

Almost everyone's gaze focused on the faces of several key figures from the Qiao family. After hearing what Qiao Jing had to say, their expressions were all unnatural.

After finishing her speech, Qiao Jing gracefully walked down the stage, exuding elegance and nobility. Some things are etched in one's bones; they can never be erased.

"More than ten years have passed but she is still so beautiful," a man in his forties said with admiration. It seemed that he had been Qiao Jing’s admirer more than ten years ago too.

Qiao Shanxing watched as Qiao Jing approached and frowned, then tried to suppress the unease in his heart before stepping forward.

"Finally arrived" Qiao Jing watched her cousin, who had replaced her position and was doing well, approach her. Her emotions were complex, like a bottle of mixed flavors overturned in her heart.

However, now that it had started, there was no turning back. One must forge ahead relentlessly. Once the bow is drawn, there's no回頭箭 (note: this phrase literally means "no回頭 arrow", but it’s an idiom meaning “there’s no going back” in English), so let the arrow I've shot pierce through my enemy's heart!

"I think we should find a place to talk things over," Qiao Shanxing walked up to Qiao Jing, and when looking at his once-familiar cousin, he hesitated for a moment after more than ten years and still couldn't call her "sister."

"Qiao Shanxing, you're still the same as when we were kids." Qiao Jing said coolly, seemingly not agreeing to Qiao Shanxing's request.

"For anything, there is a compromise solution. I don’t want this matter to escalate further," Qiao Shanxing斟酌了一下 (note: “pondered for a moment”) and still had half of his sentence unsaid.

"You’re afraid my persistence will lead the Qiao family into disintegration" Qiao Jing shook her head, saying softly, "If it were you, your father was killed by someone and you’ve been chased for decades, would you choose a compromise to resolve matters"

Qiao Shanxing was speechless. He knew these things were done by his father and others, but there’s a phrase that says “position determines thinking.” Simply put, the position Qiao Shanxing was in didn’t allow him to view Qiao Jing’s issues objectively.

"You wouldn't, right So you don't have the right to stand here. Some matters need me to ask them directly from that old fool Ji Chen; I want to know if he's blinded!" A hint of resentment flickered in Qiao Jing's eyes. Indeed, if her hatred had faded away, she wouldn’t choose to return. It didn't matter how others hurt her, but her father’s death was something Qiao Jing couldn't let go of!

"He is also your grandfather; you’d better not address him by name," Qiao Shanxing raised an eyebrow and said coolly.

"Ever since he ordered me to be expelled from the Qiao family, I don’t have this grandfather anymore." In Qiao Jing’s mind appeared the scene of that day when she was expelled. A sense of helplessness surged instantly, but upon turning around and seeing Wang Zheng's reassuring gaze, Qiao Jing quickly concealed her emotions.

"You might as well not go looking for him. An old person can't handle the折騰, and in a couple of days, it will be his one hundred-first birthday banquet. He is also my grandfather; I won't allow you to provoke him," Qiao Shanxing looked into Qiao Jing's eyes and said firmly: "Even if I have to stop you, I'll stop you at the gate of the Qiao family mansion."

Qiao Jing looked at this cousin she once knew so well, shook her head, and smiled: "You don't need to appear so righteous. This is not the time for you to show filial piety; in fact, you are far from qualified to deal with this matter. It would be better if your father handled it."

"Don't take things too far," Qiao Shanxing looked at his cousin with a warning tone, knowing that he couldn't stop her. A storm of bloodshed might break out again.

A hint of an arc appeared on the corner of Qiao Jing's mouth: "Qiao Shanxing, I hope you don't disappoint me too much."

Arrogant! Now Qiao Shanxing was Hong Kong's top young generation figure and unchallenged. Yet Qiao Jing could so casually say this sentence, which revealed her true strength! No one doubted she was bragging because Qiao Jing had the qualification to say this more than ten years ago!

At this moment, many celebrities seemed to see again that flamboyant and unruly Qiao Jing from a decade ago who never put any opponents in her eyes! In her own words, no one could be her rival!

Wang Zheng also felt dizzy as if time had reversed.

"I will personally attend the birthday banquet of Qiao Huichen and demand an explanation," Qiao Jing smiled: "With two days left, you can use any means to stop me if you can."

This was extreme confidence!

Qiao Jing could have quietly prepared for the occasion, waiting for the birthday banquet of Qiao Huichen modestly and catching them off guard. Yet she chose such a grand entrance style, which clearly showed how confident she was! She must be well-prepared indeed!he hotel," Wang Zheng laughed as he looked at Shishi Shen who was still in a huff.At that moment, Hong Kong's business and political elite had already gathered at the Gui Du Hotel.
