Chapter 316 So, you drag me into being deceived?
Horsley didn't open the envelope to see the money inside, but weighed it. "One thousand? Sister, are you so generous as to accept a brother?"
Qiao Wanqing never thought that he could tell how much money it cost just by weighing it.
I didn't expect that he had this ability?
Perhaps noticing the other party's confusion, Huo Sili cheerfully explained why he knew the amount.
Because since he was a child, he has been asking his family for pocket money in various ways, spending theirs and saving his own.
At the age of eighteen, I started investing in small businesses and now I have a lot of money.
It is precisely because I have loved money since I was a child that I study how to make money whenever I have nothing to do. I have no shortage of money, and since I am interested in money, I naturally have my own unique understanding of money.
After hearing his explanation, Qiao Wanqing gave him a thumbs up and said, "You're great, you're great, you're the best. Take this money back and give it to your dad!"
"That's our dad!" Huo Sili was a little dissatisfied with her words, "But, did you see Dad?"
Qiao Wanqing didn't correct his choice of words and nodded, "Give it back to him. I don't need it."
"This is what my father gave you. Take it as your own money."
After Huo Sili finished speaking, seeing that she was still indifferent, he began to chatter softly, "Sister, I'm not trying to instill bad ideas in you, but I'm telling you, a woman must have her own little treasury. She can spend money on her own and buy whatever she wants."
"Don't disbelieve me. Let me tell you, when a man talks about supporting you, he's just taking care of your food and drink. It's different from what you imagine."
When Huo Sili said this, he was definitely considering the issue from Qiao Wanqing's perspective.
Qiao Wanqing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry at his kindness.
I really want to tell him that he can support himself.
Qin Jingming was not the kind of man he described. He gave every penny he earned to her, never hesitated to spend money on her, and never cared how she spent the money and never asked.
But then I thought, there's no need to explain to him.
"When Huo Jinxiu and I were fifteen years old, Dad gave us money, five hundred yuan, and another one for our wedding. We could save it or use it, no matter what. I guess Dad meant the same thing for this thousand yuan, so you can keep it!" Huo Sili briefly explained the purpose of the money.
Hearing that it was for this month and considering Huo Guoming's attitude, Qiao Wanqing felt even more that she could not take the money.
"Just keep it. They gave birth to you but didn't raise you all these years. You deserve it." Horsley began to convince her with his own theory.
But Qiao Wanqing really didn't want to have anything to do with them.
Or perhaps she was worried that once she was involved, it would be difficult to sort it out later.
"Dad, apart from having some affection for Mom, has an average relationship with us. He is definitely not the ideal father type. Sometimes, the uncles and uncles next door help me more than him. Apart from going on missions, he is always working. When I was a child, he didn't even have time to eat dinner with us in a month. If he gives you any illusions, don't get me wrong, he is just that kind of person. Even if we have been around since we were young, it is the same as if he is not around." Thinking that she had met her biological father, Huo Sili felt it necessary to explain the situation of his biological father.
Qiao Wanqing was a little surprised to hear him say that.
I originally thought that she was so cold because she was not familiar with me, or because she didn't like her own daughter.
But I never thought that it was just my nature.
"I remember when he was little, Huo Jinxiu wanted him to attend a parent-teacher conference, but he flatly refused."
What is this operation?
Qiao Wanqing was even more confused after hearing this.
"You'll never guess what he said!"
"Um?"
"He said, 'Your brother also has a parent-teacher conference, so you can go on his behalf and your mom will attend for you.'"
This way of solving the problem is truly unheard of.
"That day, he was drinking tea and reading the newspaper at home."
…
"Huo Jinxiu came home and saw him at home. She burst into tears and said she didn't want him as her father!"
"What did he say?" Qiao Wanqing was a little curious and had a gossipy heart!
"He said, 'I'm not good at socializing. If that's why you don't want me as a father, then you can go find someone yourself and I'll give you an extra two hundred dollars!'"
After listening to it, Qiao Wanqing admired Huo Sili a little for being able to grow up in such an environment.
"But you may say he's cold, but he's actually an extremely soft-hearted person."
“Isn’t that contradictory?”
"He is soft-hearted only towards mom, and she is the only one who can make him soft-hearted." After Huo Sili said this, Qiao Wanqing finally understood.
Huo Guoming has never been good at getting along with children.
If you say that he doesn't have two children in his heart, that is definitely impossible.
Father’s love is silent.
Many times, don't look at what he says, look at what he does.
Huo Sili advised her, "No matter whose fault it was, the parents were also at fault for not taking good care of the child. You can take this money and use it as compensation."
"Horsley!"
"Sister, I know you don't want to recognize us, but don't be stingy with money. You don't have to worry about the kidney source from Mom. I will take care of it and won't let them come to harass you again." Huo Sili knew what Qiao Wanqing was thinking.
After his repeated assurances, Qiao Wanqing finally took the money.
Two days later, Horsley came to the store with ten thousand dollars.
The moment he saw Qiao Wanqing, he handed the money over.
"What are you doing?"
"As pocket money for you."
"Are you sick? Who would give me pocket money, ten thousand at a time? Besides, I don't need money, take it."
"Sister..." Huo Sili started to act coquettishly while speaking.
"Speak nicely." Qiao Wanqing couldn't accept this disgusting look.
Huo Sili stood up straight and looked at Qiao Wanqing, "I want to do business with you."
"How old are you and you want to do business? Go to school!" Qiao Wanqing didn't want to get involved with him. If she did, she would see Yang Aimei from time to time, and there would be Huo Jinxiu too. It was disgusting just thinking about it.
"Don't worry, I am who I am. I won't let Mom take advantage of you just because I'm doing business with you, and I won't let Huo Jinxiu come to bother you."
Even though he repeatedly assured her, Qiao Wanqing was unwilling.
In desperation, in order to express his sincerity, Huo Sili said that he had a route, which was to go to the south, purchase goods, and then sell them here.
Hearing his words, Qiao Wanqing looked at him and asked, "What do you want to sell?"
“Whatever makes money, sell it?”
“For example, a watch, a tape recorder!”
"Is there a way?"
"Yes!" Hearing her continue asking, Huo Sili naturally told her everything he knew.
"Then why don't you do it yourself?"
"I have limited funds, and..."
"Um?"
"I don't have enough experience myself, and I'm worried I'll be scammed."
"So, you're going to drag me into being deceived?" Qiao Wanqing asked back after hearing what he said.
