Seeing him like this, Jiang Yong'an was filled with anxiety. He knelt on the ground, his voice pleading, "Dad—"
Peng Cuiying was also a little uneasy, and called out softly, "Old Jiang—"
Jiang Jiahua gave a bitter laugh, opened his eyes, and said, "Paying back debts is a matter of course. I'll pay back the money this unfilial son owes! Come back with me and get the money!"
Sixth Brother sneered, "Old man, you're smart to know what's good for you."
Jiang Jiahua went home and gave the remaining money from selling the gold nugget to his sixth brother.
He turned and went back into the house, shouting, "You unfilial son, kneel down before me!"
Jiang Yong'an dared not resist at this moment and knelt down with a thud.
"Smack!"
Jiang Jiahua pulled out his belt and lashed it hard across Jiang Yong'an's back. "You unfilial son, tell me, what did you do with all that money you borrowed?"
At this moment, Jiang Yong'an, with great pride, pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.
Jiang Yiran was terrified when she saw Jiang Jiahua's fierce expression.
She was certain that if Jiang Yong'an revealed that the money had been used on her, Jiang Jiahua would definitely whip her with a belt.
She absolutely cannot let Jiang Yong'an expose her.
She rolled her eyes, gritted her teeth, and her eyes were full of a do-or-die determination!
She knelt down beside Jiang Yong'an, crying her heart out, "Dad, Dad...please, please don't hit Third Brother anymore."
I spent all the money my third brother borrowed. Dad, hit me if you want!
Jiang Yiran was gambling, gambling on just how deep Jiang Yong'an's feelings for her really were.
Upon hearing her words, a flash of fear crossed Jiang Yong'an's eyes. Afraid that Jiang Jiahua would hit her, he quickly stepped in front of her.
"Dad, it has nothing to do with Ranran. I spent all that money myself."
"Ranran, hurry up and leave. You're pregnant, and Dad's furious. You won't be able to take the weight of this belt on you..."
A look of surprise flashed in Jiang Yiran's eyes; it seemed she had made the right bet.
"Third Brother..." She cried with tears in her eyes, looking at Jiang Yong'an with reluctance, but her feet did not delay her retreat upstairs at all.
"Snap!" Jiang Jiahua lashed Jiang Yong'an with his belt again.
Jiang Yong'an cried out in pain, but still managed to say to Jiang Yiran, "Ranran, you...you go upstairs first..."
"Slap! Slap! Slap..."
Filled with remorse, Jiang Jiahua frantically whipped Jiang Yong'an with the belt in his hand, tearing his clothes and leaving his skin lacerated.
He only has two words to say now: regret.
If he had known that Jiang Qiaoqiao wanted the 2,500 yuan back then, why didn't he give her the money instead of letting these two debt collectors fill the hole?
He should have realized it long ago. He helped Jiang Yiran fill the 2,500 yuan hole back then, and Qiao Qiao wanted the same amount. It was a test for him!
But he...
Thinking about it, he regretted it and gave Jiang Yong'an another good beating.
Peng Cuiying couldn't bear to watch any longer and rushed to Jiang Yong'an to stop him.

Tong Xuejiao took Jiang Qiaoqiao to the provincial capital, and their first stop was the most upscale beauty salon in the city.
In the years since the reform and opening up, with the rapid economic development and the great improvement in material life, people have gradually begun to pursue spiritual life and enjoyment.
Recently, in addition to KTVs, billiard rooms, and video game arcades, beauty salons have also become popular in the city.
Many women from well-off families consider it fashionable to go to beauty salons for facials and massages.
While enjoying herself, Jiang Qiaoqiao asked Tong Xuejiao seemingly casually, "Sister Xuejiao, is President Yan planning to come again? Is he planning to invest in something here?"
"Who knows about him?" Tong Xuejiao said with a displeased expression when Yan Heqing was mentioned.
"Oh," Jiang Qiaoqiao obediently replied. "Then, Sister Xuejiao, do you know what kind of business President Yan is doing in Haishi?"
"Tch!" Tong Xuejiao scoffed disdainfully. "What kind of business could he possibly be? Just buying and selling. He only makes money because he has a lot of connections and connections. Otherwise, he's a good-for-nothing, not even as good as a pig riding the wave of a trend. How could he possibly make so much money?"
Jiang Qiaoqiao realized that the conflict between Tong Xuejiao and Yan Heqing was a long-standing one.
She kept her eyes downcast, sensing that there must be some story between the two. Otherwise, Tong Xuejiao wouldn't get so angry whenever Yan Heqing was mentioned, yet she seemed to have a perfectly justified attitude when asking Yan Heqing for help.
However, she wasn't very familiar with Tong Xuejiao, and had even less of a relationship with Yan Heqing, so she didn't want to ask too many questions.
"Comfortable!"
After the massage, Tong Xuejiao rubbed her neck and stretched her muscles, letting out a sigh. "Let's go, let's find a karaoke bar to sing."
Jiang Qiaoqiao thought singing was just singing, but she was stunned when a row of greasy men wearing floral shirts, bell-bottoms, hair wax, and leather shoes walked into the private room.
“You’ve come to the wrong room,” she said without hesitation.
Tong Xuejiao said with a smile, "They didn't go to the wrong room. I found them to sing with us. Otherwise, it would be so boring if it were just the two of us singing!"
Jiang Qiaoqiao: ...
She doesn't object to having handsome men sing with her, but these greasy-looking freaks in front of her are unacceptable.
Jiang Qiaoqiao leaned closer to Tong Xuejiao and said, "I have an idea that will make the fun even more enjoyable."
She leaned close to Tong Xuejiao's ear and whispered her thoughts.
Tong Xuejiao's eyes lit up, and she immediately beckoned the supervisor over.
After she finished speaking to the supervisor, the supervisor led several other men out in single file.
A short while later, the eight men who had been dressed in slicked-back hair returned.
