"It was the issue with tax evasion. I was caught for it and then I asked Lu Lingche for help to sort it out."
"What else?"
"Also, in the company's near-bankruptcy period, we couldn't pay salaries. There were protests by the workers at the pharmaceutical factory. It was Lu Lingche who paid them, which put a stop to the protest."
"What else?"
"Nothing else. Do you think Lu Lingche is easy to talk to? That he would help with everything? Do you know how many tis I had to plead before he agreed to help!"
Qiao Yin's mind was now numb: "Whose na did you plead in?"
Qiao Haidong puts up a righteous face: "Of course, in your na. Who else then? Would it work if I begged him in my na? You're his woman. If there is trouble in our family, who else but him will settle it?"
Qiao Yin felt dizzy with a severe discomfort in her chest.
What on earth did her father do behind her back with Lu Lingche?!
No wonder Lu Lingche looked down on her. No wonder Madam Lu despised her. Unbeknownst to her, her pride had long been trampled under the feet of her own father.
She forced herself to stand, her eyes red with anger as she stared at Qiao Haidong: "You let Lu Lingche help you with these things, why didn't you ever tell !"
"You have been bothering Lu Lingche in my na, you know what he thinks of ? He thinks I'm a gold-digger!"
"Why have you never considered ? While other fathers adore their daughters, you? You just take advantage of . You only care about money, not family!"
Qiao Haidong, with a livid face, cried out angrily: "Don't pin down with such labels! Lu Lingche is my son-in-law; why can't I ask him for help? What do you an 'bothering' him? He is supposed to help his father-in-law, that's his duty!"
"Then why did you demand a dowry of twenty million from him? Why have you never told about this money!"
"Am I not telling you now? What the hell do you want to do, want to get the twenty million back? I tell you, it's impossible! Dowry is the money son-in-law should pay to his in-laws and you have no part in it!"
Qiao Yin's tear drops fell one by one, her voice was especially mournful: "So, are you selling your daughter? I got married, you didn't give a single penny as a dowry, instead, you got twenty million. Do you think you're smart with your calculations?!"
"How am I selling my daughter?!"
Qiao Haidong yelled angrily: "I raised you to be so good, you marry into soone else's family, shouldn't I be paid? You don't even have a filial piety, you don't know to help family pay debts, You're here cursing ? Get out! I forbid you from ever stepping into this house again!"
"You never raised ! You never gave a single penny!"
"Get out! I disown you as my daughter, get out at once!"
As Qiao Yin listened to his roar, she suddenly felt her hearing was becoming distant, and her vision blurred.
She wanted to retch, but nothing ca up.
She felt terrible.
She could no longer hold herself up.
Just before passing out, she saw Qiao Jiasen rushing down the stairs to her side in panic, catching her as she was about to fall.
She relaxed, plunging into the darkness.
At least, she could rely upon Qiao Jiasen.
She wouldn't have to worry about being sold by Qiao Haidong while she fainted here.
Qiao Jiasen held her in his arms, a stern look on his face and a fury underlying his voice: "Quick, take her to the hospital! Dad, what are you standing there gaping at, get the car ready!"
Qiao Haidong was utterly indifferent to Qiao Yin. He thought his son was making a fuss out of nothing: "What for? She won't die. Going to the hospital would cost money! Just let her lie on the sofa, she will regain consciousness after a while."
Qiao Jiasen bellowed: "Couldn't you see how pale she was! I said we are going to the hospital and we are going there right now, hurry up!"
Finally, having no other choice against his son's force, Qiao Haidong agreed to drive: "Well, let's go then!"
Qiao Jiasen carried Qiao Yin onto the car. Qiao Lainan also got on: "Let co along. At least there'll be one more person to take care of my cousin."
Twenty minutes later, they reached the hospital.
Qiao Yin was rushed to the ergency room.
A few minutes later, the doctor erged: "Where's Qiao Yin's family?"
Qiao Jiasen imdiately stepped forward: "I am."
"What relation do you have with her?"
"I am her brother."
"Oh, your sister is not in any danger."
"Then why did she faint?"
"She's pregnant."
