Chapter 635: Chapter 635: Brother Jiasen, would you lend a million?
Qiao Lainan’s eyes reddened in an instant, her tone gentle yet aggrieved: “Brother Jiasen, I’m at my wit’s end, so I had to find cousin for help. I was forced by my parents to marry a grotesque old man. You probably didn’t know about this, right?”
Qiao Jiasen was taken aback; he really didn’t know.
He never questioned the ss back ho, and Qiao Haidong wouldn’t voluntarily tell him.
After all, in Qiao Haidong’s eyes, studying was the most important thing; he couldn’t possibly let his son be distracted by the family ss.
He didn’t even bother about the matters back ho anymore.
From Qiao Jiasen’s reaction, Qiao Lainan knew he wasn’t aware. She burst into tears, “I married a old man who’s not only physically, but ntally defective. He beats every day and doesn’t even feed . My in-laws insult daily, making do all their laundry and cooking. If anything’s not up to their standard, they’d give a fierce beating. They’ve nearly killed several tis!”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiasen frowned, “Why did Uncle Qiao make you marry that kind of man? Don’t they know how you are suffering?”
“Why would they care about ? My parents knew very well that my in-laws had already caused the death of one daughter-in-law. Yet, they accepted one million in betrothal gifts from them and married off. They said from then on, I belonged to my in-law’s family, and I should be obedient to my parents-in-law.”
Qiao Lainan cried even harder, “On the first night of my marriage, they tortured to near death. Unable to bear it any longer, I escaped from my in-laws’ ho in the middle of the night a few days later. Having no place to go, I returned ho. But the next day, my dad tied up with ropes and sent back. ”
The expression on Qiao Jiasen’s face was frosty. He said coldly, “Turns out, Uncle Qiao isn’t any better. Just like my dad, they both sell off their daughters without a care for their wellbeing.”
“You’re right, Brother Jiasen. My dad really did sell off.” said Qiao Lainan in a sorrowful tone.
“They said if I wish to return ho, our family would have to return the betrothal money, only then, would they let off. When my dad saw battered and bruised, he was indifferent. Grandma even said, ‘a married daughter is like spilled water’. They forbade from returning ho and they would definitely not return the one million to my in-laws for my sake.”
On understanding the situation, Qiao Jiasen, whose youthful face was devoid of expression, looked at the weeping Qiao Lainan, “So, you ca to Qiao Yin for one million?”
“Having no other choice, since cousin is married to a wealthy man, I thought she would have the money. So, I ca to borrow from her promising to repay her later. But when I ca to find her twice, she chased away each ti. She’s unwilling to lend a hand. My cousin really has a heart of stone.”
With that, Qiao Lainan began sobbing, appearing both fragile and pitiful.
Qiao Jiasen sneered, saying in a cold voice, “Just because she married into a wealthy family, she must have money? Is that how you all think? And so you all want to leech off her?”
Qiao Lainan’s sobbing ceased abruptly, “What do you an, Brother Jiasen?”
“She has no money, stop taking advantage of her!”
He had barely managed to stop Qiao Haindong from exploiting Qiao Yin for money, and now Qiao Lainan showed up!
The expression on Qiao Jiasen’s face was grim, “If you want to escape from your in-laws, I can help you this one ti. But from then on, stay away from Qiao Yin!”
He was fully aware that Qiao Lainan also was no saint, but she was of the Qiao family nonetheless. He couldn’t just stand by and watch her being tornted to death by her in-laws.
Helping to save her life was sothing he could still manage.
Qiao Lainan looked dazed, “Are you willing to lend one million, Brother Jiasen? … Do you even have that kind of money? Didn’t your family go bankrupt?”
“Who said I’m going to lend you a million?”
“Eh? You’re not giving money?”
Qiao Lainan’s eyes clearly showed her disappointnt.
