"Master Zhan, you said before that we don't need to worry about these eyes."
Zhan Jingting sneered, "Their methods of surveillance are unprofessional. Even Madam noticed, which makes her feel uneasy."
"I understand, I'll go and find out right away."
Qiao Wanwan was indeed uneasy, so she drew the curtains tightly shut before going to bed that night.
"Wanwan, the window is one-way glass, so people outside can't see inside."
“But I still feel unsafe,” Qiao Wanwan said worriedly. “I guess it’s someone from the Gu family, or the Qiao family.”
"It's nothing, don't worry about it."
"How can this be a small matter?" Qiao Wanwan sat back on the bed, looking at him seriously. "Someone's watching us now, how are we supposed to live like this..."
"No one can interfere with our lives." Zhan Jingting grabbed her wrist and pulled her back into his arms. "But since Madam Zhan has doubts, I'll now teach you how to live..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Wanwan's lips were sealed with a kiss.
The two kissed for a while before Zhan Jingting finally released her, saying, "Go to sleep."
......
It was a rare treat to sleep in, so Qiao Wanwan didn't wake up until after nine o'clock. When she opened her eyes, she found that Zhan Jingting was still asleep.
Qiao Wanwan looked at his handsome face and couldn't help but raise her hand and tap his nose.
The man's brow twitched slightly, showing signs that he was about to wake up.
Qiao Wanwan quickly closed her eyes.
A moment later, a deep, pleasant male voice came from beside her, "Madam Zhan, stop pretending to be asleep."
Qiao Wanwan opened one eye. "How did you know I was pretending to be asleep?"
"Your eyelashes are moving."
Qiao Wanwan smiled, her eyes crinkling.
Zhan Jingting stared at her lips, about to kiss her, when there was a knock on the door and Zheng Ma's voice came, "Young Master, Madam Liu Yaqin, the young mistress's mother, has arrived."
The two exchanged a glance. Qiao Wanwan had no interest in intimacy and raised her voice, saying, "I'm coming right away."
"yes."
Qiao Wanwan washed up and went downstairs, where she saw Liu Yaqin sitting on the sofa in the living room, her eyes darting around.
"What do you want?" Qiao Wanwan stepped forward and asked coldly.
Liu Yaqin said disdainfully, "Didn't you hook up with that cripple who has unlimited credit cards? How come you live in such an ordinary villa area? The Bentley parked in front of your house is not even as good as ours."
"You're here to show off your wealth, aren't you? Then you can leave."
"I'm just stating the facts!" Liu Yaqin said, dissatisfied. "You're my daughter, after all, why are you always going against me?"
"Don't you know why I'm going against you?"
"You're trying to say Yuqi is trying to harm you again, aren't you? Do you have a persecution complex? Yuqi is kind-hearted, how could she possibly harm you! It's you who keeps doing dirty things."
Qiao Wanwan frowned. "What dirty thing have I done? People who want to smear me should think before they act."
"Alright, alright, I'm too lazy to argue with you." Liu Yaqin said impatiently, "I came to see you today because I have important business to discuss. Because of you, the crisis of the Qiao Group has not been resolved, and the situation is getting worse. You need to ask your disabled man to take out some money to inject capital into the Qiao Group."
Qiao Wanwan laughed immediately. "Did I hear that right? You came to me today... to ask for money?"
"Don't put it so harshly. The Qiao family gave birth to you and raised you. Shouldn't you repay them?"
Qiao Wanwan sat down on the sofa. "You gave birth to me, and you didn't know I was switched by a thief, so I don't blame you. But don't try to portray yourself as so noble. Don't you know what kind of life I've lived these past few years since I returned to the Qiao family?"
"Qiao Wanwan, don't go too far!" Liu Yaqin said angrily. "I admit that I like Yuqi more, but that's your own fault! Even if you don't have the same status as Yuqi at home, have I let you go hungry and cold? You're still doing just fine, aren't you?"
"That's why I said, calculate how much money the Qiao family has spent on me over the past five years, and I'll pay you back with interest."
Liu Yaqin said coldly, "I want one billion."
"A billion?" Qiao Wanwan laughed out loud as if she had heard a joke. "Why don't you go rob a bank? The armored truck should be here by now, hurry up and go. I can provide you with stockings to cover your head as a favor."
"Qiao Wanwan, I'm not joking with you!" Liu Yaqin said seriously, "I gave birth to you and raised you, and now you're hooking up with a rich man, shouldn't you repay me?"
Qiao Wanwan said, word by word, "I will naturally repay those who have been kind to me, but you and Qiao Shengguo deserve only to be repaid with whatever amount I have."
"Qiao Wanwan, you heartless wretch! How could I have given birth to such a thing!" Liu Yaqin pointed at her and cursed, "If I had known you would turn out like this, I shouldn't have given birth to you in the first place!"
“What a coincidence, I think so too.” Qiao Wanwan raised her hand. “Aunt Zheng, see the guest out.”
"Yes." Zheng Ma quickly called two bodyguards and kicked Liu Yaqin out.
Qiao Wanwan got up and sat down at the dining table. Just as she was about to eat, Zheng Ma came in and reported, "Young Madam, your mother hasn't left. She's sitting at the door throwing a tantrum. People have come to watch, and she's crying and screaming even louder."
"Let her be."
"Young Madam, isn't this inappropriate? Actually, one billion isn't much. If you can settle this, then give it to him. Young Master can afford this amount."
Qiao Wanwan turned to look at her and said seriously, "You can't just burn money like this. I'll give you what's due, but the Qiao family is clearly making exorbitant demands. Why should I fill their stomachs?"
"But it doesn't look good to make a scene like this. It will upset the young master."
"If she can get a billion yuan just by sitting on the ground and making a scene, that's too easy money. We can't tolerate this kind of person, even if she's my own mother," Qiao Wanwan said coldly. "Call the police."
