Xia Wan didn't stop them, just wanting to see what tricks this father and daughter were up to!

As soon as Qiao Chunsheng left, Qiao Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and began to persuade her: "Xia Wan, don't be so willful. Your father wants you to marry into the deputy factory director's family for your own good!"

"Although that man is an idiot, his family is rich. Once you marry into that family, you'll have endless wealth and can buy whatever you want! Why bother about the dowry your father gives you?"

"Don't upset your father over such a small amount of money. You'll need your family's support after you get married. What if your father gets angry over this money and then stops caring about you?"

Xia Wan swallowed the last bite of rice before speaking, "Sister Qiao, do you really think marrying into the deputy factory director's family is so good?"

She asked earnestly, her eyes filled with trust in Qiao Qiao!

The original owner was deceived by Qiao Qiao's sweet words and even trusted Qiao Qiao more than her adoptive father!

"Of course, the deputy factory director only has one son. He's a bit slow-witted, but because of that, all their money will be yours in the future!" Qiao Qiao was delighted to see her expression, thinking that she had heard what she said!

"Then why don't you marry Qiao-jie?" Xia Wan's eyes were innocent and earnest, and she seemed to be doing it for the other person's own good.

Qiao Qiao was taken aback, but quickly realized what was happening. She lowered her head and said dejectedly, "I want to too, but they look down on me because I don't have a degree! It's just my bad luck, so Wanwan, you have to seize this opportunity!"

Xia Wan's mind raced, but she nodded earnestly: "Since you think it's good, Sister Qiao, then I'll trust you!"

Qiao Qiao's eyes lit up, and she forgot to hide her expression: "The money..."

"Sister Qiao, why are you standing for so long? Aren't you tired?" Xia Wan interrupted her before she could finish speaking, and made a gesture as if she was about to stand up!

Qiao Qiao was caught off guard, assuming that she was just concerned about her: "Oh, I'll just sit on the bed! You don't need to... ah..."

With a bang, the already broken hospital bed collapsed again the moment Qiao Qiao sat down!

"Oh dear! Sister Qiao, you fell down! Let me help you up!"

Xia Wan made a gesture as if to help the person up, but she let go halfway and Qiao Qiao fell back to the ground!

"Oh dear, what should I do? It's all my fault for being too weak. Sister Qiao, wait a moment, I'll go find someone to help!"

"No...no...Xia Wan..."

Xia Wan ran out as she spoke, and Qiao Qiao couldn't stop her.

Of course, she couldn't be stopped. She had to call the hospital staff. Qiao Qiao had broken someone's bed, so she had to pay for it!

Before Xia Wan had gone far, a nurse heard the noise and rushed over.

"Nurse, please help my sister! She broke the bed while sitting on it and fell to the ground. I'm not strong enough to pull her up!" Xia Wan followed behind the nurse, looking extremely worried!

The nurse was surprised to see Qiao Qiao sitting between the two bed boards, her face flushed. The girl wasn't fat at all; how had she managed to break the bed?

Despite her doubts, her professional instincts as a nurse compelled her to help immediately: "Young man, how are you? Where did you fall? Can you get up?"

"No...no, my pants are caught!" She had just tried to stand up when she realized her pants were caught, and fearing she would tear them, she had no choice but to sit back down.

The nurse paused for a moment before realizing what was happening, then frowned and said, "What is it? If you hooked it, have your sister help you. What are you doing sitting here?"

Xia Wan stood behind and nodded obediently: "Yes, Sister Qiao, I'll help you. It's just this bed... should we call Dad back to pay for it?"

"No... there's something wrong with this bed. I only sat on it for a moment!" Qiao Qiao explained nervously!

She just sat down for a moment, and the bed collapsed by itself, tearing her pants. Why should she have to pay for it?

The nurse glanced at her and said, "Get up first. We'll know if it's a problem with the bed once we take a look!"

"Sister Qiao, let me help you!" Xia Wan stepped forward, not caring about pants, and pulled the person up.

"Ah! Qiao Xiawan, stop!" Qiao Qiao was no match for her strength and was easily pulled up!

Rip! That's the sound of fabric being torn.

My pants are ripped!

"Oh no, Qiao-jie, your pants are ripped! Turn around quickly, don't let anyone see your butt!" Xia Wan pulled Qiao Qiao around, but she looked a little flustered and accidentally turned Qiao Qiao's butt towards the door!

Qiao Qiao reacted quickly, shoving Xia Wan aside and running to stand in the corner!

By this time, some patients' family members had heard the commotion and ran over to see what was going on. Some uncouth older women started gossiping about Qiao Qiao.

"Oh dear, this girl's pants are ripped, but thankfully her underwear is still intact!"

"He doesn't look fat at all, so how did he manage to collapse the bed?"

"This girl just said there's something wrong with the hospital beds!"

"Oh dear, that's terrible! How can we let a patient stay in a bed with problems? What if they fall?"

Amidst the crowd's discussion, the nurse had clearly seen the broken marks on the bed; it was obvious that the solid wood bed had been broken in the middle.

Then, overhearing people around them discussing the problems with the hospital beds, the nurse explained unhappily, "Don't listen to that girl's nonsense. Look at this bed, it's made of solid wood, very sturdy, without a single trace of insect bites. It's impossible for it to break easily!"

"What are you all doing gathered outside my daughter's hospital room?" Qiao Chunsheng came back from a stroll outside and found a crowd gathered outside Xia Wan's hospital room. He had to use a lot of effort to squeeze in!

"Is that your daughter inside? Your daughter broke the hospital bed!"

"The little girl lied and said there was something wrong with the hospital bed, but I think it's just that she's too heavy!"

"Yes, the nurse just said that the bed is made of solid wood and won't break easily!"

An elderly woman who had come to watch the commotion quickly recounted the whole story to Qiao Chunsheng!

Qiao Chunsheng's face darkened, and without even asking what happened, he directly confronted Xia Wan: "Qiao Xia Wan, what's wrong with you? How did you manage to break the bed? Do you know that you're damaging collective property?"

Xia Wan looked up at him in surprise, a hint of mockery in her eyes: "No..."

"What do you mean, 'don't'? With so many people watching, you still want to deny it?" Qiao Chunsheng interrupted her before she could finish speaking!

He didn't even notice Qiao Qiao giving him a meaningful look; he just wanted to find fault with Xia Wan and scold her a few more times!

The nurse couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up for Xia Wan, saying, "Sir, this isn't the girl who broke the bed by sitting on it. Do you think she's the kind of person who could break a bed by sitting on it?"
