780 The Qiao Family's Business
She was determined to support her daughter-in-law, ready to confront any bullying from her lineal mother.
With a sense of warmth in her heart, Qiao Xuan smiled confidently. "Alright, let's go and see what they want."
The group made their way to the front yard, where they were met with piercing gazes from Madame Qiao and her two daughters.
"Qiao Xuan, how dare you buy a house behind our backs? Explain yourself!" Madame Qiao's voice was filled with anger.
Qiao Wei couldn't contain her frustration any longer and erupted in a furious shout. "Explain yourself, Qiao Xuan!"
Qiao Xuan raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise. "Explain? What for?"
"Hmph, you're speechless, aren't you? If it wasn't for Second Mrs. Yuezheng, we wouldn't have found out about this!" Qiao Wei's voice was filled with contempt.
Ms. Fang cleared her throat, displaying confusion. "Madame In-law, your daughter is speaking quite rudely. Why should we have to inform you about our house purchases?"
Qiao Wei. "…"
Madame Qiao was stuck in words.
Indeed, the Shao Family had every right to purchase the house without informing the Qiao Family, as they didn't rely on them for financial support. The Qiao Family's furious rush forward seemed unreasonable.
Qiao Wei, determined to provoke a confrontation, sneered, "We're all here together, so why pretend? Qiao Xuan, did you pay for that house? Where did you get the money from?"
Qiao Xuan did buy the house and possessed the contract. However, Ms. Fang had never asked her about it or sought to claim ownership for herself. Being an honest person, she appeared somewhat hesitant.
Qiao Xuan spoke up, "Elder Sister, you've never been to the Shao Family, so how can you know their financial situation? The Shao Family purchased the house. Young Master Yuezheng and my husband have been friends for a long time, so it's only natural for him to assist when my husband wanted to buy a house like this."
Qiao Wei seethed with anger and exclaimed, "Second Mrs. Yuezheng claimed that First Madame gave you this house!"
Qiao Xuan responded calmly, "Oh, she lied."
Qiao Wei sneered, "That's impossible!"
"Why do you think so? If you want, you can bring Second Mrs. Yuezheng and First Madame here, and we can all discuss this together."
Qiao Wei glared at her fiercely.
She knew she would never be able to bring Second Mrs. Yuezheng or First Madame here. Qiao Xuan was deliberately making things difficult for her!
It was all intentional!
"Alright, Wei," Madame Qiao understood the situation clearly. They knew something fishy was going on, but they lacked proof to support their claims.
Qiao Xuan and Ms. Fang exchanged arguments, but they couldn't find any inconsistencies in each other's statements.
"Mrs. In-law, why don't you invite us inside for some tea?"
Ms. Fang stepped aside and said, "Please come in."
Madame Qiao glanced at Qiao Xuan with a mix of disappointment and concern. "Didn't you say we were traveling together? Why did you leave on your own? Your father and I missed you!"
Qiao Xuan responded calmly, "Mom and Dad, Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, Taotao, and Qi were all eager to come here. I was so caught up in the excitement that I forgot to inform you. I apologize, Mother. I will talk to Father about this. He is understanding, and I'm sure he won't hold it against me."
