The younger sister mistakenly identified her brother when visiting relatives and was kissed by the c

Qiao Xinxin suddenly raised her head, her almond-shaped eyes brimming with tears, and screamed with grievance and resentment, "When have you ever treated me like family?! When have you ever truly accepted me as a member of the Qiao family?! I'm not convinced! I'm wronged!"

She pointed at Qiao Mingzhu, who was cowering in the back, not daring to utter a sound, her voice trembling: "Since I returned to this family, it's wrong for me to drink water, it's wrong for me to raise my voice! I'm despised, ignored, loathed, and bullied by every one of you! No matter what Qiao Mingzhu does, it's right; no matter what I do, it's wrong! If I had known you would treat me like this for a fake heiress, I would have preferred to stay in the Bai family in the countryside! At least the Bai family genuinely cared for me and would never push me into a fire pit, would never force me to marry in someone else's place!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Qiao Shouguo waved his hand impatiently, not wanting to listen to her tearful accusations at all. He glanced at his watch; time was running out.

"Things have come to this point. The Zhou family's wedding procession is arriving soon! You have to marry today, whether you like it or not! It's not up to you!"

After saying that, Qiao Shouguo turned to his eldest son and roared, "Lijun! Go! Find a rope, even if you have to tie her up, you have to stuff her into the Zhou family's wedding car today!"

Qiao Lijun had long disliked Qiao Xinxin, and upon hearing this, he immediately stepped forward with a grim face. Although the house had been emptied, he directly pulled out his belt and viciously tried to put it on Qiao Xinxin's hands.

"I don't want to! I won't marry him! Let me go!"

Qiao Xinxin feigned a fierce resistance, flailing her arms and legs wildly on the ground while shouting shrilly. But in reality, she wasn't using much strength at all; she was just rolling on the ground like an eel, stalling for time.

The instant Qiao Lijun's belt touched Qiao Xinxin's wrist—

"Bang bang bang!!!"

A series of extremely urgent and deafening knocks on the door, like a death knell, abruptly interrupted everyone's actions inside!

The four people inside froze. Qiao Shouguo's brows furrowed sharply, and he impatiently yelled at the door, "Who is it?!"

A powerful and authoritative male voice came from outside the door:

"Police! We received a report from the public that a serious crime has occurred here, with people engaging in feudal arranged marriages and committing indecent acts! Open the door immediately!"

boom!

The moment the word "police" was uttered, Qiao Shouguo, Qin Fangfang, Qiao Lijun, and Qiao Mingzhu in the corner were all stunned, as if struck by lightning!

Why did the police come?! Who called the police so early in the morning?!

"Aren't you going to open the door?! If you don't open the door, we'll break it down!" The shouts from outside the door grew louder.

Qiao Shouguo and Qin Fangfang exchanged a glance, their faces instantly turning deathly pale, cold sweat beading on their foreheads. In the end, Qiao Shouguo could only steel himself and, with trembling hands, walk over and open the door.

As soon as the door opened, two police officers in uniform with serious expressions strode in, followed by a large group of neighbors who had come to watch the spectacle.

"What happened?" The older policeman's eyes were sharp as he scanned the empty house and the people on the ground. "Who called the police? We received a report that someone here is forcing lesbians to marry, and that someone is engaging in illicit sexual relations and harassing others. What exactly happened?!"

Before the Qiao family could vent their confusion and offer any explanation, Qiao Xinxin, who had been "struggling" on the ground, suddenly brightened up.

As if grasping at the last straw, she used both hands and feet to lunge forward and clung tightly to the older policeman's leg, refusing to let go no matter what!

"Officers! Help! Please save me!"

Qiao Xinxin trembled violently, her delicate, fair face filled with extreme fear. "Cough cough... cough cough cough..." She weakly clutched her chest and coughed violently a few times, as if she couldn't even catch her breath.

Then, with tears streaming down her face, she raised her head, her soft, sweet voice now filled with a desperate plea, and poured out the whole story like beans spilling from a well:

"Officer, my name is Qiao Xinxin, and I'm the biological daughter this family just reunited with! That's my older brother, Qiao Lijun, and that's the fake heiress, Qiao Mingzhu! Last night, I caught them sleeping in the same bed, doing something shameful! Now, Qiao Mingzhu dislikes her disabled fiancé and doesn't want to marry him anymore. My biological parents, to cover up their shameful deeds, are going to tie me up and force me to marry him in their place! I disagree, and they're going to beat me to death! Please, please save me! I really don't want to marry him!"

At this moment, Qiao Xinxin's hair was disheveled and clung to her sweaty cheeks. Her once plain pajamas were now covered in dust and mud from the struggle in the mud. But her large, watery eyes were fixed on the policeman, filled with despair and pleading.

This broken and pitiful sight is enough to break one's heart!

Upon hearing this, the two policemen's faces turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and their eyes became as stern as knives stabbing at Qiao Shouguo and his wife.

"This is utter nonsense!"

The older policeman sternly rebuked them, his voice shaking the roof: "This is a new society, where freedom of marriage is valued! No one, no family, can force a woman to marry! Your actions are a serious violation of the law!"

He stared coldly at Qiao Shouguo: "You call yourselves military family members! Look at your backgrounds and ranks, you've received years of education from the Party and the state, how come your minds are still filled with feudal remnants?! You'd even do something like forcibly abducting and forcing your own daughter into marriage?!"

"I'm warning you clearly! Forcing women to interfere with their freedom of marriage, and engaging in illicit sexual relationships and lewd behavior, are criminal offenses! If you dare to kidnap someone and force them into marriage, your whole family will have to go to jail to reflect on their actions and eat prison food!"

Going to jail?!

Upon hearing those three words, Qiao Shouguo and Qin Fangfang were so frightened that half of their souls flew out of their bodies. Their faces turned ashen, and their legs trembled uncontrollably.

"No! No! Officers, please don't misunderstand!"

Qin Fangfang waved her hands frantically, and in her panic, she quickly shifted the blame entirely onto Qiao Xinxin: "This marriage was originally Qiao Xinxin's own! She agreed to it herself, and now that the wedding is today, she's suddenly throwing a tantrum and refusing to go! Tell me, what kind of logic is it to renege on your wedding day?!"

"Yes, that's right!"

Qiao Lijun also realized what was happening. He took two steps forward, feigning a helpless older brother's expression. But when he lowered his head, his gaze towards Qiao Xinxin was viciously venomous—if it weren't for these damned police officers showing up, he would have already tied this troublemaker up like a dumpling and thrown her into the car!

He forced an extremely awkward smile and explained to the police officer, "Officer, it's really a misunderstanding. The young lady was just scared before leaving home and was throwing a tantrum. This marriage was something she herself agreed to. We, as her parents and brother, love her dearly; how could we possibly force her?"

"I didn't! I never agreed! He's clearly Qiao Mingzhu's fiancé!" Qiao Xinxin shouted aggrievedly, urgently refuting the claim.

But before she could finish speaking, Qin Fangfang interrupted her with a sharp shout:

"That's enough, Xin Xin!"

Qin Fangfang stared intently at Qiao Xinxin, her face filled with "heartache and indignation": "How could I have given birth to such an ignorant and inconsiderate daughter?! Do you only feel happy when you've completely humiliated our family?!"

At this point, Qin Fangfang seemed to notice the increasingly displeased and suspicious gazes of the two policemen. Her eyes darted around, and she immediately changed her expression, forcing a pitiful smile that was more like a grimace. She stepped forward and, with a heavy heart, tearfully pleaded with Qiao Xinxin:

"Xin Xin, Mom isn't blaming you, but the marriage is already arranged, and all the relatives and friends have been notified. The Zhou family is coming to pick up the bride soon. If you don't go now, how are our two families supposed to face anyone afterward? Aren't you trying to drive your parents to their deaths?"

As she spoke, Qin Fangfang suddenly bent her knees, as if about to kneel down, her voice shrill and desperate: "Xinxin, I'm begging you! Please save our family!"

This tactic of moral blackmail is incredibly vicious! A biological mother kneeling before her daughter—if this gets out, Qiao Xinxin's reputation will be completely ruined, and she'll be drowned in public scorn!
