Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 42: Chapter 40: Have you fallen for me?

Su Manhan took a deep breath, ready to scream out, but was restrained by Zhan Yao.

“Speak to her nicely.”

Su Manhan swallowed half of her fury.

“Qiao Jing, you really are a troublemaker! You actually sent Miss Deng of the Deng Family to the police station, huh?”

Zhan Qipei slightly furrowed his long eyebrows that resembled mountainous mists, his gaze following Qiao Jing’s footsteps.

After taking a bottle of green tea from the fridge and taking a sip, Qiao Jing calmly said, “She wanted to snatch my things and even threatened my family and friends. Should I have just let her bully me?”

“Ha! She’s robbing your things? She’s the pampered daughter of the Deng Family, what do you possess that could catch her eye? You think we’d believe what you’re saying?” Zhan Nanqing sneered.

“So you think the police station arrests people based on intuition rather than evidence?”

Her words directly shut Zhan Nanqing up, who sat down looking deflated.

“Even so, you shouldn’t have taken her to the police station! The Deng Family and our Zhan Family have always had business relations, and our relationship has always been good. What you did was make enemies for our Zhan Family! Go and apologize now!” Su Manhan said to Qiao Jing with a livid complexion, in the tone of an elder educating a junior.

“So even if your Zhan Family members are bullied by the Deng Family, you have to swallow your pride? I remember the Zhan Family is not one bit inferior to the Deng Family,” Qiao Jing stated flatly.

“What are you to the Zhan Family? Do you think you’re worthy?” Zhan Nanqing interjected.

“Ha!” Qiao Jing sneered, the smile on her face not reaching her eyes, “You’ve hit the nail on the head. Tell me, since I’m not one of the Zhan Family, why do you care about me? Whom I send to the police station is my business. What does it have to do with you?”
