Qiao Yimu frowned and said, "Qiao He, do you really have to go this far?"
Qiao He nodded and said, "Yes, if you don't do this, I won't be able to quell my anger."
Qiao Yimu fell silent, weighing the consequences of kneeling and kowtowing.
Judging from Qiao He's attitude, she definitely wouldn't give them the supplies if they didn't do that!
If they don't get the supplies, not only will their trip be in vain, but more frighteningly, Yuanyuan might suffer from unbearable heat and could even die from heatstroke...
Qiao Yimu's eyes darkened; he absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen!
Yuanyuan is their precious treasure; they can't bear to see her suffer any injustice!
The current situation is that even if they had money, they couldn't buy generators, diesel fuel, or solar panels. If they had just one of these supplies, they could escape the predicament of dying from the heat.
All of these supplies are now unavailable even at high prices!
This extreme heatwave has become a once-in-a-millennium natural disaster...
In the face of natural disasters, even if a country tries everything to help humanity, it is only a drop in the ocean.
As an ordinary person, the only way to save yourself is to save yourself.
Now that the Qiao family has lost power, they have no way to buy supplies.
They could only eke out a living in the cellar, enduring each day as it came.
Those rough guys could endure it without much trouble, but Yuanyuan was different...
She's a little princess!
How can a princess live in a cellar forever?!
After much deliberation, Qiao Yimu decided to kneel down. He said in a cold voice, "I understand. We will kneel and kowtow to you."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Erlin was so angry that he almost fainted. He struggled incessantly, but unfortunately, Qiao Sansen was stronger than him, and he couldn't break free at all.
Otherwise, he might have argued with Qiao He!
Qiao Yimu gave Qiao Erlin a cold look. Although Qiao Erlin was very resentful, he ultimately compromised with a strong sense of resentment.
They had no other choice.
Only Qiao He can provide supplies!
Qiao He watched the three of them standing in the scorching sun and said slowly, "Alright, hurry up and kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistakes. I'm not going out; it's quite hot outside. I'm fine staying indoors."
Then, right in front of the three of them, Qiao He opened a bottle of iced cola, gulped down several mouthfuls, and stared at the three brothers with a gloating expression.
Qiao Yimu: "..." He swallowed hard.
Qiao Erlin's eyes turned red with jealousy, and he was so angry that he almost jumped up and down!
Qiao Sansen looked at Qiao He awkwardly and whispered, "Little sister, um... could you give us a few bottles of cola later?"
Qiao He said leisurely, "Of course."
"But the prerequisite is that you genuinely admit your mistake and make me happy~"
Qiao He's words were perfectly tactful, directly offering the three men empty promises.
Tell them that they can only get supplies if they make her happy.
If you're not happy, then nothing happens!
Unfortunately, the three men in front of them had no idea that Qiao He would lie.
She never intended to give them any supplies, not even a small cookie!
She was reluctant to give it away.
They wouldn't give them a damn thing! We wouldn't even give it to a dog!
The three men looked at each other, seemingly having made up their minds.
After all, in their eyes, a man's knees are worth their weight in gold, let alone kneeling before Qiao He, which made them even more resentful.
They were also very unwilling.
But they really had no other choice but to do this to make Qiao He happy.
The next moment, the three men knelt down on the scorching ground and kowtowed to Qiao He to apologize.
"Qiao He, I was wrong. I shouldn't have treated you like that before. I was rude and even wanted to hit you. I'm sorry..." Qiao Yimu gritted his teeth, looking very "sincere".
Then Qiao He heard the system notification: [Qiao Yimu's resentment value +1 +1 +1...]
Qiao He didn't react, and looked at Qiao Erlin: "Why aren't you apologizing, Qiao Erlin?"
Qiao Erlin, who had been called out, gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I'm sorry! I apologize!"
It didn't sound like an apology at all; instead, it sounded like Qiao He owed him something, which was extremely upsetting.
Qiao He shook her head helplessly: "Qiao Sansen, what about you?"
Qiao Sansen paused slightly, looking at Qiao He's face in the villa. The distance was a bit far, so he couldn't see it very clearly.
"I'm sorry... Sister, it's our fault. Please forgive us. I swear! I will never treat you like that again. Really... Sister, I'm sorry. I really regret not coming home sooner. I didn't know... you had suffered so much."
Qiao Sansen looked at Qiao He's face and continued, "Please forgive your brothers, okay? You helped us this time, and no matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, I will risk my life to help you!"
Qiao Sansen's words were more eloquent than his singing, which Qiao He found laughable.
That's hilarious!
He spoke as if it were the truth. If it weren't for the notification sound of the system's resentment value increasing, Qiao He would almost have believed Qiao Sansen's incredibly sincere words!
So, thanks to the "give up" system, she got a lie detector for free!
This is a good deal! Anyone who's unhappy with her in the future will know right away!
There's absolutely no need to check whether what that person is saying is true or false.
The system is awesome, not bad at all!
The "Slacking Off" System: [...]
The host routinely praises it as awesome, but unfortunately, it's not actually awesome.
The three grown men abandoned their pride and knelt on the ground, solemnly kowtowing to Qiao He.
Qiao Yimu said in a deep voice, "Is it okay? Qiao He, I know you resent us, but we really didn't do it on purpose. It was you... who bullied Yuanyuan too much."
Qiao Erlin shouted, "That's right! Qiao He, you're such a grown-up, can't you give us a break! Do you still think you're a child? Making a scene whenever you want!"
"It's time to have a proper talk with your family. As long as you apologize to Yuanyuan, we'll accept you back into the Qiao family!"
Qiao Erlin looked at Qiao He with disgust. This man was true to his word and didn't care about someone like Qiao Yimu at all. He smiled on the surface but cursed in his heart.
Qiao Sansen was completely self-indulgent and never properly considered Qiao He's feelings and emotions.
All three of them ultimately aimed to obtain supplies.
Qiao He slowly sipped her cola, her eyes gradually turning cold. Looking at their disheveled appearance, she said with a mocking expression, "Qiao Erlin, are you mentally challenged? You want to take me back to the Qiao family? Do you think I want to squeeze into a cellar and a rented room with you?!"
"Why would I live in such a big villa and have to squeeze in with you guys? Are you out of your mind?!"
"I don't think you need any generators or ice blocks. The sheer absurdity in Qiao Erlin's head will suffice."
"Oh right, you don't actually think I'll forgive you just because you kneel down and kowtow to apologize, do you?"
"No way, no way, are there really three idiots as stupid as you in this world? Hahahaha..."
