Chapter 562 In complete chaos
Qiao Hong accompanied Xu Meimei shopping all afternoon, and was exhausted. Only then did Xu Meimei hand over the card to him with satisfaction.
"Let me tell you, this money is all my savings. You better remember what I said: if I don't get this money back, I'll take you down with me!"
Qiao Hong didn't take her threat to heart at all. Instead, he excitedly kissed her on the cheek. "Just you wait, baby. I'll definitely give you a surprise!"
Although he swindled Xu Meimei out of her money, it was still far from five million.
Mr. Qian has already started calling to urge him on, and Qiao Hong is also getting anxious. The loan sharks refuse to lend him money, and Cao Yun disagrees. He really has no way to raise that much more.
Just then, the loan shark company he had previously worked for suddenly called him.
“I forgot to tell you last time, but we found out that you own a property. This property is very valuable, at least two to three million. You can consider mortgaging this property to me, and I will transfer the money to you immediately.”
Qiao Hong exclaimed in surprise, "Really?"
"Yes, but you need to hurry. It would be best to complete the formalities today, otherwise I'll lend the money to someone else."
Qiao Hong quickly nodded in agreement, "Okay, okay, I'll be right there!"
The house he mentioned is the one they live in now. When housing prices plummeted, Cao Yun suggested buying a house. At the time, they didn't have much cash on hand, and Qiao Hong disagreed. But Cao Yun insisted, so he had no choice but to scrape together a down payment and buy that 150-square-meter house.
The house was bought less than a year ago, but the housing market has rebounded, even reaching the point where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold. In addition, the location they are in is a prime location, and many people are scrambling to buy it, causing the price to increase many times over.
They're right. Qiao Hong's house is worth at least three million. Even though he hasn't finished paying off his loan yet, after deducting the remaining mortgage payments, he can still get about two million.
Since it's a mortgage anyway, as long as the funds are recovered later, he can still get the money back.
With that in mind, Qiao Hong rushed home.
To Qiao Hong's surprise, Cao Yun was not there when he returned, which relieved him. He had been worried that Cao Yun would prevent him from getting the property certificate, but since she wasn't there, he simply stole it.
The mortgage procedures were completed quickly, and he soon received the loan from the loan shark company. Only after seeing the three million yuan in his account did Qiao Hong finally feel relieved.
Then he borrowed some more from Qiao Jie, and with his various online loans, he was almost done.
Qiao Jie knew about his relationship with Qin Ce. When he heard Qiao Hong say he wanted to cooperate with Qin Ce, he lent him 800,000 yuan without even thinking about it.
Qiao Jie owns a company and earns several million a year without any problem, so he can afford to give or lose this favor.
He immediately transferred the money to Mr. Qian. When Mr. Qian received the money, he even wondered if he had misread it.
"Where did you get all this information in such a short time? Let me tell you, Qiao Hong, projects are projects, but don't do anything illegal. The company has to take the risks!"
Qiao Hong said, "Don't worry, I raised all this money myself. It has nothing to do with illegality and won't put the company at risk. Mr. Qian, I've done so much for the company this time. If the cooperation is successful, you can't forget my contribution."
It has to be said that Mr. Qian sometimes admires Qiao Hong. This man is willing to fight to such an extent for profit, not caring about his reputation or even if it leads to his wife and children breaking up. There are not many people who can do that.
Mr. Qian said, "Yes, yes, don't worry. As soon as the cooperation is successful, I will transfer the money to your account as soon as we receive it!"
Qiao Hong hung up the phone with satisfaction. He seemed to have already seen the hope of victory, and he envisioned himself making a fortune and reaching the pinnacle of life.
However, he was unaware that everything he was doing was slowly leading him into a trap that someone had already set.
That evening, Qiao Hong returned home.
As soon as he entered, he saw Cao Yun sitting on the sofa in the guest room, crying. Qiao Ying, who had returned from school at some point, was sitting next to Cao Yun, comforting her.
Qiao Hong was somewhat surprised to see Qiao Ying. "Yingying, why are you back?"
Qiao Ying glared at her hatefully, "How dare you ask!"
Qiao Hong had no idea what had happened and looked completely bewildered. "What on earth happened?"
"Did you mortgage the house title deed?"
A guilty look crossed Qiao Hong's face. He stammered, "Dad has no choice, but don't worry, at most six months. After six months, I will definitely take you to a bigger house."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Yun burst into even louder sobs, crying, "What terrible things have I done?!"
Qiao Ying jumped up from the sofa, rushed to Qiao Hong, and hysterically yelled, "I even advised my mother not to divorce you! Why are you so ungrateful and do something like this? Are you trying to drive our whole family to our deaths before you're satisfied?!"
Qiao Hong quickly explained, "Yingying, believe me, I really only did this in an emergency. I did this for you, your brother, and your mother. Look, I even bought her a necklace. I just wanted to make up for it. You have to believe me..."
"Stop pretending!" Qiao Ying roared, "The photos of you and that bitch have been sent to my teacher, and all my classmates have seen them! I can't stay at school anymore, how can I believe you!"
"Photos? What photos?" Qiao Hong was a little uneasy.
Did someone find out that he went shopping with Xu Meimei that afternoon?
At this moment, Cao Yun, who was sitting on the sofa crying, said to Qiao Ying, "Yingying, for the sake of this family, I kept convincing myself to live with him regardless of the consequences. I wronged myself just to give you a home, but now our home is gone, and your father is still here. What am I supposed to do..."
Just then, a sound came from the doorway. All three of them looked over at the same time and saw Josh walk in.
His complexion was extremely poor, especially when he saw Qiao Hong, his expression became even more unpleasant.
Qiao Hong finally had a bad feeling. "Xiao Xi, why are you back too?"
"If I don't come back soon, I'll be completely disgraced!" Josie said angrily. "Do you know that someone sent photos of you and another woman to my school? All my classmates are laughing at me, saying that my dad has found a mistress who is about the same age as my sister!"
Qiao Ying, as if possessed, lunged at Qiao Hong and started hitting him, yelling, "I hate you! I hate you! Why did you do such a thing? How am I supposed to face people at school now? I might as well just die!"
Josie also berated him, "How old are you? How could you think of doing something like this? You don't care about me and my sister, but what has my mother done to wrong you in the years she's been married to you? Why are you making life unbearable for the whole family?"
On the sofa, Cao Yun cried more and more bitterly.
There were only four people in the living room, yet it was a complete mess.
Qiao Hong stood frozen in place. In less than a day, who could be retaliating against him in the same way as before?
