Chapter 247: Pulling Out the Needle Hurts More Than Inserting It

"I am not!"

Dou Yuemei was caught off guard by this dumbstruck denial, and she was absolutely livid: "How dare you backtalk? I guess you must not have been poked hard enough!"

"I won\'t give in! Her needle must be poisoned; otherwise, why would I be so weak? And against such a sinister, treacherous, base, and shameless little villain, even losing to her is a victory!"

Qiao Yin ignored her scolding, raising her head to see her grandmother leaning against the wall by a window on the second floor. She ended the farce succinctly: "Grandma, take them to see your son. I need to rest."

With that, she turned around and left.

Dou Yuemei hurried after her: "Then at least give us a ride! We\'re strangers here. How can we find your Dad\'s villa at this hour?"

"One moment you\'re threatening to ruin my face, and the next you have the nerve to ask me for a lift? Do you think I\'m an idiot?"

"Why are you making a fuss about this? Regardless, Zhaonan is still your sister. It was all fun and games, so don\'t take it to heart. We are family; there\'s no conflict that we can\'t resolve."

"I don\'t consider you family."

Qiao Yin said coldly, entering the building and heading home.

Qiao Zhaonan, still lying on the ground and now starting to sweat from the pain in her arm, called out, "Sister, could you please remove the needle for me?"

Qiao Lainan rushed over, but as soon as she touched the needle, Qiao Zhaonan screamed in pain.

"What happened? What happened? I haven\'t even pulled it out yet!"

Qiao Zhaonan gritting her teeth, "It\'s killing me! Be gentle!" Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

"Alright."

Qiao Lainan said, and with a swift motion, pulled out the silver needle.

Qiao Zhaonan shrieked in pain, almost passing out.

After a while, she gathered enough strength to weakly ask, "Why did it hurt so much to remove the needle? What kind of needle was it? It feels so weird."

Qiao Lainan discarded the needle, hesitating before saying, "It probably has nothing to do with the needle, more to do with the acupuncture points and technique. Your cousin\'s grandmother is a renowned doctor, so it\'s not surprising that your cousin has these skills."

Qiao Denan wasn\'t interested in all this. She turned to Dou Yuemei, "After insulting our cousin like that, where are we supposed to stay? I\'m hungry and want something to eat."

"Eating, is that all you think about?"

Dou Yuemei was frustrated: "None of you can be depended upon. We shouldn\'t all have showed up in the first place!"

Qiao Lainan suggested, "Grandma, let\'s stay at Eldest Uncle\'s place for the night. He won\'t kick us out and will feed us. He even invited me to visit his place the last time he came to our hometown."

"Alright, we\'ll go there. Call your Eldest Uncle and ask him to pick us up."

Half an hour later.

Qiao Haidong arrived, face grim, "Didn\'t I tell you to have them stay at Qiao Yin\'s place?"

Upon seeing his displeased expression, Dou Yuemei didn\'t dare to provoke him and chose to blame Qiao Yin: "That little brat Qiao Yin used a needle on her again! She\'s ruthless. She didn\'t let us stay, nor did she feed us."

Qiao Lainan chimed in, "Uncle, our cousin said that she isn\'t welcoming us and kicked us out... It wasn\'t Grandma\'s fault. I think... she seems to really hate us, her poor relatives from the country. Uncle, do you feel the same about us?"

Qiao Haidong froze at her question, but then quickly denied it: "How could I dislike you? You are all my nieces."
