The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 45: I’m Afraid They Might Harm You

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: I’m Afraid They Might Harm You
Qiao Yue’er this time truly and genuinely felt that Qiao Qiqi has really changed!
Why is it like this? Could it be that her previous behavior was all an act?
Qiao Yue’er’s hands clenched into fists, no, she must get rid of this trouble Qiao Qiqi as soon as possible.
...
Upon reaching upstairs, Qiao Qiqi had her mom stand still, she carefully examined her mother’s body, her body had already accumulated quite a bit of toxins, especially in the lungs, it seems this poison isn’t recent.
It’s also her fault for being too careless, she had planned to take her mom to the hospital for a check-up over the weekend, she didn’t expect it to get this serious so soon.
"Mom, have you felt any discomfort recently?" Qiao Qiqi already had some idea in her mind, she pulled her to sit down.
"No, I’m fine." Lening smiled as she looked at her daughter, although somewhat afraid of her daughter being scolded, it was really satisfying to see her daughter scold those people today.
"Mom, I’m serious, don’t hide it from me, both my brother and I need you." Qiao Qiqi’s eyes reddened a bit.
Lening saw her daughter was upset, quickly said, "It’s really nothing major, just sometimes a bit congested in the chest, nothing serious."
Qiao Qiqi’s gaze landed on the jade bracelet on her mom’s hand, and she asked, "Mom, where did this bracelet come from?"
This bracelet looked like a top-quality jade bangle, but inside it was black, Qiao Qiqi suspected there was something wrong with it.
"This was given to me by your grandmother a year ago, she told me to always wear it, is something wrong?" Lening touched the bracelet.
"I have a bracelet, you wear this one for now, give this one to me."
Qiao Qiqi stood up, took out a green bracelet from her own cabinet, it was similar to the one in Lening’s hand, just with a more vibrant color.
"Where did you get this bracelet?" Lening knew this was a top-quality jade, quite valuable.
"This was given to me by a grandfather from the orphanage before he passed away, it’s not suitable for me being so young, but it’s just right for you."
As Qiao Qiqi spoke, she took the bracelet from her mom’s hand without allowing any arguments, and put the one given by the grandfather on her mom’s hand.
Without a close look, no one would notice that Lening had changed bracelets.
Although Lening was a bit puzzled as to why her daughter did this, she didn’t ask much, she trusted her daughter.
"Mom, I’ll keep this bracelet for now." Qiao Qiqi put away the problematic bracelet.
"Qiqi, don’t go against your grandmother, I’m afraid they might harm you." Lening, worried, held her daughter’s hand, her eyes full of concern for her.
"Mom, don’t worry, I will protect myself." And I’ll also protect you and dad, and brother.
Lening, hearing her daughter speak like this, could tell her daughter had changed, she felt both comforted and worried, she took out a card from her pocket and stuffed it into her daughter’s hand, "There are two hundred thousand here, it’s money I’ve saved up myself, how can you manage without allowance? Take it and use it."
Qiao Qiqi looked at the card in her hand, at home her mom was usually exploited by grandmother and aunt, it wasn’t easy for her to save up this money.
"Mom, there’s no need, I don’t have much to spend money on, if I really need money, I’ll ask you for it later, keep this money for yourself." Qiao Qiqi returned the card.
"I’m giving it to you, so take it, even when you weren’t home before, I would still give some to Yue’er." Lening insisted on giving the card to her daughter.
Qiao Qiqi, "..."
Rather than letting that ingrate Qiao Yue’er benefit from the money, she’d better help her mom keep it safe first, she could also invest it for her mom.
