"Dad, what's going on..." Qiao Xi looked bewildered. Although she had guessed a little, she still had to show her surprise. However, she didn't expect him to put on such a show.

It seems this is quite a big deal.

Qiao Guangyuan immediately flew into a rage and cursed, "That bitch, she transferred all the assets under my name."

Despicable person?

Whenever the word "slut" is mentioned, two people instinctively come to mind, but they would never be the sluts that Qiao Guangyuan is talking about.

But after thinking it over, it seems that only she has the ability to transfer his assets.

Qiao Xi pretended not to understand and asked, "Dad, what are you saying? I don't understand."

Qiao Guangyuan shouted angrily and aggressively, "That mother and daughter conspired to transfer my assets. They ran away with my money."

"Xiao Xi, the company is really going to go bankrupt this time, you have to help me." He pleaded with Qiao Xi for help, tears streaming down his face.

As expected.

Qiao Xi felt no emotion whatsoever. She believed this day would come sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly.

She knew this day would come when she first found out that He Huilan was having an affair.

What she didn't expect was that Qiao Guangyuan could forgive her for something like this. If he had just been ruthless and kicked her and her daughter out back then, none of this would have happened.

Is it true love?

What about his mother?

Such people have no idea what love is; they are just beasts in human skin.

Qiao Xi said in disbelief, "How could that be?"

Qiao Guangyuan wiped away his tears and said sincerely, "Really, Dad didn't lie to you."

After saying that, he seemed unable to bear the blow and knelt down.

But in Qiao Xi's eyes, this was just a sob story; their real purpose was to extort money. As for whether the mother and daughter actually did that, that remains to be verified.

It might be a scam they devised together.

Thinking about it this way, Qiao Xi felt that the possibility was very high, so Qiao Guangyuan had to ask her for the money immediately, otherwise he would be exposed with just a simple investigation.

Qiao Xi showed no sympathy or heartache whatsoever, and said to him coldly, "Dad, please get up first. I still don't quite understand what happened."

Hearing her say that, Qiao Guangyuan instantly lost his patience and scolded her, "Is there anything you don't understand? Isn't what I said clear enough?"

Seeing the change in his attitude, Qiao Xi was certain that his claim that the mother and daughter had transferred all his assets was a lie; their real intention was to swindle money from him.

What Qiao Xi couldn't understand was, was he really that short of money?

Although the Qiao family is facing bankruptcy, they are not so short of money as to be this desperate.

There must be other reasons behind this.

Qiao Xi played along, feigning a wronged expression, "Dad..."

Qiao Guangyuan realized he had been a bit too hasty and quickly apologized to her, "I'm sorry, Dad scared you."

"Xiaoxi, do you have any money on you?" Qiao Guangyuan asked immediately afterward.

Qiao Xi replied directly, "Yes."

"Give it to me quickly." Qiao Guangyuan was so eager that he wanted to reach out and search.

Qiao Xi first gave him a handful of honey, then said, "But Dad..."

Seeing her become melancholy, Qiao Guangyuan assumed she was trying to find an excuse not to give him money, and immediately changed his tune, "Are you really going to leave your father to die?"

Qiao Xi said again, feeling wronged, "Dad, what I mean is, I don't have much money on me, so I can't help you save the company."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Guangyuan breathed a sigh of relief, his previous expression completely changed, and he said with a smile, "It's okay, give it to me first, and transfer the rest to me. Dad will give you the card number."

"Dad, saving the company will cost a lot of money, won't it?" Qiao Xi asked, pretending to think.

Qiao Guangyuan shamelessly said, "Not much, five million is enough."

Hehe, it really isn't much. For her right now, it's really not much. Even if there were another zero, she wouldn't think it was too much.

Who told her that Ah Jin would give her gifts worth hundreds of millions? Tens of millions is just a number to her. It's just a pity... she would never give it to him!

Qiao Xi exclaimed in surprise, looking startled, "Five million?"

"Dad, I only have a few thousand yuan on me right now, and a little over ten thousand in my bank account. How can I possibly have five million?"

"What did you say?!" Upon hearing that she had no money, Qiao Guangyuan's attitude underwent another complete reversal.

"Xiao Xi, as the wife of the president of Dihua Group, you can't even come up with five million?"

He knew that Qiao Xi, as the president's wife of the Dihua Group, couldn't possibly be unable to come up with five million. Even if she didn't have it, Qi Jincheng didn't either.

There are rumors that Qi Jincheng dotes on her, so even if she doesn't have it, she can ask Qi Jincheng for it. Qi Jincheng definitely won't refuse her. A mere five million is nothing in Qi Jincheng's eyes.

Thinking of this, Qiao Guangyuan immediately said to him in a gentle tone, "It's okay, just ask my son-in-law, he will definitely give it to you. Five million is just a number in his eyes."

“How can that be?” Qiao Xi also changed her previous respectful attitude towards Qiao Guangyuan and said arrogantly, “How can my husband’s money be given to others so easily?”

The word "others" stung Qiao Guangyuan. "Daughter, what do you mean by that? Is Dad someone else?"

"What you said really hurts Dad's feelings!"

Qiao Xi just smiled dismissively. Seeing this, Qiao Guangyuan became even angrier and said confidently, "I know, you just don't want to help Dad, do you?!"

Yes, the answer is definitely yes. Doesn't he have any self-awareness?

What was he thinking when he asked her for money? How could he swallow his pride and ask her for money?

No, he never lowered his pride. It was absolutely her fault that she didn't give him money, and it was also her fault that she didn't have any money. In his eyes, everything was perfectly reasonable.

Seeing that Qiao Xi remained silent, Qiao Guangyuan immediately began to berate her, "How could I have given birth to such an ungrateful wretch like you? If I had known this would happen, I should have..."

"It's too late," Qiao Xi interrupted her decisively.

"What did you say?" Qiao Guangyuan looked at her in shock.

Qiao Xi, knowing the situation, chimed in, "I said you're too late if you want to strangle me."

"I'll strangle you?" That was indeed what Qiao Guangyuan thought, but after Qiao Xi called him out, he lost face.

Desperate to save face, he disregarded everything else and sneered, "Heh, I have no right to say that. You're not even my child."

“You’re a bastard!” Qiao Guangyuan pointed at her and cursed viciously.

Qiao Xi's heart skipped a beat; she couldn't believe that Qiao Guangyuan would say something so reckless.

I understand. You probably don't know anything about my relationship with my dad.
