She didnât know who Master Nie was. She wasnât close to him. But Yuan Yongqin and the Cheng Feng Corporation were important as it concerned their companyâs survival.
Hence, it was important to her.
âDid you know that Dadâs business had been having problems and he wanted to chat with Aunt Yuan? Since you know her, could you ask her to wait for a while after lunch so that Dad could meet her...â
Qiao Nian found it funny how she was still trying to arrange things for her so seriously. She laughed as she looked at how Qiao Chen was so quick at instructing her. She looked up and asked, âQiao Chen, what makes you think I should listen to you?â
Was it her confidence?
What made her so confident?
Qiao Chen was already angry, to begin with. Her eyes turned cold when she heard her question. She frowned and grumbled. âWhat do you mean by listening to me? The family is struggling and you have the obligation to help out. Youâre so close to her, after all. Since sheâs willing to attend your party, it shouldnât be hard for you to arrange for a meal between Dad and her...â
With how close Qiao Nian was to Aunt Yuan, indeed, it wasnât hard for her.
But Qiao Chen couldnât answer the question: why should Qiao Nian do it for the Qiao Family?!
Qiao Chen noticed that Qiao Nian didnât agree to her arrangements immediately and reminded her. âSister, donât forget that you grew up in the Qiao family. Even though we arenât your real relatives, we treated you well all these years...
âDad was still worried about you when you left. He even wanted to give you some money, but you rejected him. It doesnât matter if you found your biological parents, you owe it to us for bringing you up...â
This triggered Qiao Nian, and she snapped. âBringing me up? Didnât they raise me so that I could donate blood to you every month?â
Since when did Qiao Weimin and Shen Qiongzhi take care of her? If it wasnât for Qiao Chen and that they needed Qiao Nian for her blood, they would have abandoned her a long time ago.
Qiao Chenâs face flushed as the ugly truth was exposed. She clenched her fists and screamed. âBut they brought you up! You owe it to them! Whatâs wrong with helping them now that you have the ability to do so? Canât their efforts in raising you all these years match up to a favor from you?â
She thought Qiao Nian wouldnât reject it as long as she was still a little attached to the Qiao Family.
Who knew.
âYup, it canât match up.â
Qiao Chen fell silent.
Qiao Nian just wanted to take a break from the booth and didnât want to continue arguing with her in the washroom. She slipped her hands in her pockets and said, âI already paid back Qiao Weimin and the Qiao Family for raising me. To me, I donât owe you or the Qiao Family a damn thing. As for you...â
Qiao Chenâs eyelids twitched. She wanted to rebuke Qiao Nian. However, she couldnât bring herself to speak when she looked Qiao Nian in the eye.
She felt that Qiao Nian wasnât lying.
She really paid them back for raising her.
Hence, she didnât have to treat them like previously.
But... Why did she change so quickly... It was so quick that she wasnât prepared for it.
But she wasnât prepared for what Qiao Nian said next.
âDo you recall that I told you I could bring you to success and I could bring you to failure as well! I wasnât kidding. I have investigated what happened in the hospital.â
She was reminded of what happened in the hospital that day.
