"Dad, I remember that when I was a child, I always envied my sister for having new clothes to wear, but I didn't. Later, when I went to school, I always heard from my classmates that parents were partial to the younger one. But Mom and Dad never seemed to favor me."
Qiao An'an looked listlessly at Qiao Sheng. Her sad smile made others feel pity for her.
"I'm always wondering whether I've done something wrong. If I were better, Mom and Dad wouldn't hate me so much. So I studied harder, but I found that Mom hated me more and more."
"It wasn't until I came of age that I found out she is not my mother. She is just my aunt. My mother died of childbirth because of me. Less than half a year after my mother passed away, my aunt and sister became my family members."
Qiao Sheng was moved by Qiao An'an's heartfelt words. He married into Yue Lingshan's family. As the son-in-law, he had no self-esteem in front of Qiao An'an's mother, Yue Lingshan.
However, although Qiao Sheng was poor, he had a strong masculinity in his bones. He hated Yue Lingshan. On the contrary, Yue Lingshan's distant cousin, Luo Xiao, admired him very much, although she was poor too.
As a result, Qiao Sheng and Luo Xiao fell in love.
Later, since Yue Lingshan died of childbirth, Qiao Sheng inherited the assets of Yue family. His investment in the land doubled the price. So he quickly brought Luo Xiao and Qiao Niannian home.
Compared to Luo Xiao's gentleness, Qiao Sheng disliked Qiao An'an, who looked increasingly like Yue Lingshan. Hence, he seldom concerned about Qiao An'an.
"Dad, I don't blame you, nor do I blame auntie and sister. It's just that I haven't felt love for many years. Ge... Wu Hao is very good to me, and he loves me very much. I don't have any ambitions. Now my reputation is not good either. I just want to live an ordinary life with him."
Qiao An'an turned to Qiao Niannian and said meaningfully.
"Wu Hao is a labor and has just worked for a few years. His salary has all been used to pay back the loan, so he really doesn't have much savings right now. If I can't marry him, then I think I can only stay at home. As for who incriminated me a month ago, I have to figure it out."
A month ago, it was true that Qiao Niannian had asked Qiao An'an to go to the Four Seasons Hotel. She had also asked an old man to humiliate Qiao An'an.
If Qiao An'an really wanted to investigate, there must be some clues to Qiao Niannian's crimes.
When she thought of how Qiao An'an had just taught her a lesson today, the pain in her broken hand was still fresh in her mind. She didn't want to go through it again.
She was eager to drive Qiao An'an out.
"Dad, it's not easy for Qiao An'an to bravely pursue her own happiness. Why don't we help them? Wu Hao can't earn such money to pay the bride price for the rest of his life!"
Like a hen-pecked husband, Gu Ting, who could transfer hundreds of thousands of dollars to his account in a second, stood firmly beside Qiao An'an. Without her permission, he wouldn't say anything.
"200,000 yuan is my bottom line! My daughter is more valuable than this! If you can afford this amount, I'll just pretend that Qiao An'an isn't my daughter. If you can't afford, Qiao An'an will marry a divorced middle-aged boss! This can also be the best ending for you! Worthy!"
Qiao Sheng looked at Gu Ting and said word by word.
He weighed this trade in his heart. He knew exactly how much he had spent on Qiao An'an over the years.
Even if he felt guilty about Qiao An'an, he would never allow himself to suffer loss.
If Qiao An'an married Wu Hao, she would lose her value as a daughter. Qiao Sheng should get his money back!
