Old Madam Qiao finally heaved a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that the two of them were the same and were still at her mercy. However, she still explained, âGrandma was too anxious just now, thatâs why I said those words. Donât take it to heart!â
Song Yiyan hummed in agreement, her voice was sweet and beautiful. âBut Grandma, doesnât Second Uncle have two mansions and a building in the city center? If he canât get sufficient funds, he can just sell one villa!â
Her tone was innocent, like a child asking a million questions.
Qiao Yuan stood at the side and was very anxious. When she heard her mother say that her younger brother was short of money and the companyâs funds were cut, she started to think about how to ask her husband for money.
However, when she heard her daughter say that, her eyes widened in disbelief. He has two mansions and a building in the city center, any one of them was worth billions!
Why didnât she know when the Second Brother became so rich? Didnât the Second Brother always cry to her about being poor and ask her for money?
Old Madam Qiao panicked and tried to defend herself. âWho said that? Tell me, who told you? Look at how I didnât tear off that mouth of his. If your second uncle had so many properties, would I have gone all out to beg you?â
She definitely would not let Yuanyuanâs side know that she had money at home. Otherwise, how would she find an excuse to ask for money in the future?
Even if she found an excuse to ask for money, she would still feel uncomfortable. It was not as convenient as it is now. She could ask for money whenever she wanted, no matter the amount.
âThe office building in the Golden Building and the two mansions in the Royal Family Courtyard are under him. Grandma, am I right?â Song Yiyan continued to ask with a smile.
Han Ding told her that he had investigated the entire Qiao family. She knew every little thing that family had yet they still wanted to cheat them of their money.
In fact, as long as Old Master and Song Jing wanted to know about the Qiao family, they would know. However, no one cared about the Qiao family. They only treated them as lazy disgusting parasites.
If they wanted money, he would give it to them. As long as he didnât bother the Song family and embarrass them outside, it was fine.
The old lady of the Qiao family started to stutter. âWe wonât be able to liquidate that property for a while. Your second uncle needs money now. If he canât produce it in half an hour, the company will close down. Why are you so ruthless? Are you going to watch as your uncleâs business fails?â
When Qiao Yuan heard this, her heart softened. She looked at Song Yiyan pleadingly and said in a low voice, âYanyan, please help your uncle this once!â
Song Yiyan looked at her and nodded. âGrandma, I know a real estate agent who can immediately buy Second Uncleâs property at the market price. If youâre willing, Iâll contact him immediately and guarantee that the money will be in your bank account in five minutes.â
âIâm not talking to you, let your mother talk to me. Youâre just a child. Why are you getting involved in this matter? Itâs not your fault. Give the phone to your mother now.â Old Madam Qiao gritted her teeth. If not for her patience, she would have scolded her.
Damn girl, who did she think she was? How dare she talk to her like that!
âGrandma, my mother is sick.â Song Yiyan still maintained her politeness. âArenât you worried about my motherâs health?â
She could already imagine the ugly state of the old woman jumping in anger.
When Qiao Yuan heard this, her heart ached. Who was she? In their eyes, she was just an ATM!
âYour mother is sick. If we miss the opportunity, your second uncle will lose his lifeline.â The old lady of the Qiao family was very anxious. âGood child, let your mother answer the phone.â
It was the first time Song Yiyan had seen such a shameless person, she really wanted to hang up. Seeing the change in Qiao Yuanâs expression, she knew that her heart must have been shaken.
No matter who it was, they would feel uncomfortable if their family members were treated like this.
Once the seeds of resistance sprouted in her heart, it was only a matter of time before she cut the relationship with them and was no longer restrained by them.
âGive me the phone.â Qiao Yuan looked at Song Yiyan.
Song Yiyan hung up without another word. She quickly walked to the window, opened it, and threw the phone out.
âSong Yiyan!â Qiao Yuan shouted angrily.
Song Yiyan watched as the phone was thrown into the lake behind the villa. She then turned to look at her. âMom, itâs just a phone. Iâll bring you to buy a new one tomorrow. Donât be angry.â
Qiao Yuanâs chest heaved violently as she looked at her accusingly. âThis is outrageous. Who taught you to do this?â
Song Yiyan wiped her tears and coaxed, âMom, if you give them the money, why donât you give it all to me instead? Iâm your biological daughter.
It just so happens that Ji Xing is going to start a business soon. If you have that five million, invest it into him. In the future, we will give you dividends and set up a retirement fund for you.â
Qiao Yuan felt a weight on her chest. When she heard what she said, she did not know whether to laugh or cry. âYouâre so thick-skinned that you want to ask Mom for money. Where will Mom get the money?â
âThen if they ask you for money, you have it. If I ask you for it, you donât have it?â Song Yiyan was angry. âAm I still your biological child?â
âIâm your maternal grandparentsâ biological child. Why didnât you say that?â Qiao Yuan pinched her. She did not use much strength, but she pretended to cry out in pain.
âWhat did I say?â Song Yiyan looked at her seriously. âMom, do you know how much a normal working familyâs salary is a year? And whatâs their annual expenses? Itâs not that I donât want you to be filial to them, I just donât want you to be cheated by them and give them money without any principles.â
âYouâre the only one with a sweet mouth, I donât expect you to support me. Iâll be thankful if you can support yourselves.â Qiao Yuan sighed. At this point, her phone had been thrown away. What could she do?
To be honest, she was relieved that she did not have to think of excuses to beg her husband for money.
She didnât want to look at peopleâs faces and ask for money. If she had a choice, who would want to do this? They would look down on her.
âYouâre my mother, my biological mother. Of course, I have to support you.â Song Yiyan knew that she had convinced her. Even though she didnât say it, her heart was already wavering. She gave herself a thumbs up. She had finally taken her first step, thatâs good.
Next, she wanted her mother to see clearly what the Qiao family was like. She wanted her to be completely disappointed in them and lose control of herself.
Just as something happened, someone knocked on the door.
Qiao Zhengyu poked his head in and smiled as he looked at Qiao Yuan. âSister, come out for a while. I have something to tell you in private.â
