Chapter 1707: Where On Earth Are You Touching?! (17)
After Liang Liang left the house, Qiao Yiyi went back to her room and got back to bed to rest.
She still felt weak from the blood loss.
She had to get better within a few days. After all, by the fifth day, she had to steal that 1000-year-old ginseng.
At this thought, she rested her head on her arms and stared at the ceiling.
After a while, she finally fell asleep.
The next time she woke up, it was because she heard a sound downstairs.
She paused and heard the butler calling outside the door, “Madam? Madam?”
Qiao Yiyi paused and asked, “What’s the matter?”
The butler said, “Your father and brother are here, in the living room.”
Qiao Yiyi: …
Qiao Yiyi nodded. “Alright, coming.”
Having no choice, she got out of bed and went downstairs.
When she went into the living room, she saw her father and Qiao Gang sitting on the sofa. Dad Qiao stood up when he saw Qiao Yiyi and asked her in a low voice, “Mr. Lu is not home, is that right?”
Qiao Yiyi nodded. “What’s up?”
Dad Qiao sighed and said, “We’re still a little short on your brother’s wedding gift to the Li family’s third daughter. So we need your help to get the money.”
Only a little short? For a 10 million cash gift?
Qiao Yiyi asked, “How much do you need?”
“Emmm, 8 million.”
Qiao Yiyi: …
So that was what he meant by a little short?
She lowered her gaze and sighed. “That’s a lot of money.”
Dad Qiao nodded. “That’s right. That’s what we would get if we sold our house, but we still need a roof over our heads, isn’t it so? So, since you’ve been with Mr. Lu for so long, do you think you can pay the difference for us? I’m sure Mr. Lu gives you a lot of money.”
Right after saying this, he looked at Qiao Yiyi and saw that her eyes were filled with tears. He was shocked and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Qiao Yiyi sobbed as she said, “Dad, before I got married, you said Mr. Lu was a very special opportunity, a good person. But you have no idea, Mr. Lu hates me. I- I have no money. Mr. Lu has never given me a single cent.”
After she said this, Qiao Gang sprang to his feet and said, “What nonsense are you saying? As Madam Lu, any piece of jewelry you own would be worth a few million. What’s the difficulty in giving me eight million? So now that you’re married, you don’t care about me?! You just don’t want to give me the money, isn’t that so?”
Qiao Yiyi: …
Qiao Yiyi was utterly speechless.
Firstly, Lu Nanze had never given her any money and that was a fact. Secondly, it was true that she herself had money, but that was her own money, why should she give it to Qiao Gang for his wedding?!
Were the father and son from the Qiao family stupid or something?
She couldn’t help rolling her eyes at Qiao Gang.
Unfortunately, Qiao Gang caught her doing this and this instantly infuriated him. He jumped to his feet and said, “What was that look? What was that expression just now? Qiao Yiyi, I’m warning you, don’t you dare look down on me just because you’ve married into high society!”
As he said this, he walked forward. Agitated, he extended his hand and it fell onto Qiao Yiyi’s injured shoulder roughly.
Since Qiao Gang had done this with great force, her wound tore open.
A great wave of pain washed over her and she turned pale immediately.
She tilted her head to look and saw that the bandage on her shoulder had gotten damp. Her shirt was gradually soaked in dark red.
Her pupils shrank back as she sprang to her feet.
Right at this time, Lu Nanze’s voice came from the front door, “What do you think you’re doing?!”
Everyone turned instantaneously to see the man walking in. His gaze fell on Qiao Yiyi’s shoulder.
