The argument’s noise instantly subsided; all eyes turned to her.
Qiao Haidong was already furious, but seeing Qiao Yin’s face, his rage increased. With a gloomy countenance, he questioned, “What are you doing here now?!”
Qiao Yin replied coldly, “I’m here to present you with a subpoena from my lawyer. In a few days, I’ll formally sue you. You can wait for the court summons.”
Qiao Haidong was taken aback, hurriedly rushed down the stairs, and snatched the document bag from Qiao Yin’s hand.
On opening and scanning through, indeed, it was a subpoena!
He was anxious and furious, “Qiao Yin, I’m your father! Are you seriously going to sue me? Have you lost your mind?!”
Qiao Yin glanced at Qiao Jiasen standing on the second floor. She was surprised to see him home today.
However, he’s grown up now, and some things need not be hidden from him.
He was more sensible and resilient than she had imagined.
“Qiao Haidong, I see you still remember that you are my father? I wouldn’t have guessed it, I thought you were my enemy!”
“The idea that Qiao Lainan should negotiate my divorce with Lu Lingche is a complete joke. I’m surprised you could come up with such a cunning plan.” “Prepare a divorce agreement on my behalf, mimicking my signature, then ask Lu Lingche for fifty million in divorce compensation, and meanwhile, have Qiao Lainan replace me, marry Lu Lingche to upgrade her status – is this something a real father could even comprehend doing?”
“It’s not me who has lost their mind, it’s you! For money, there seems to be nothing you wouldn’t do!”
Qiao Haidong’s hand holding the subpoena trembled visibly with anger.
“You were already going to divorce Lu Lingche, what’s the issue with me handling this matter for you? I’m your father, I have every right to claim divorce compensation from Lu Family!”
“You were the one who said you wouldn’t live with Lu Lingche anymore. If you don’t want him, why can’t I let Lainan take your place? What’s it to you?”
“If Lainan can marry Lu Lingche, the relationship between our family and the Lu family will remain intact, and I can still benefit from the Lu family. Are you really so reluctant to see us prosper?!”
Qiao Yin was lightning-quick, promptly catching the critical piece of information, “What do you mean? What do you mean by ‘I can still benefit from Lu Family? Have you been benefiting from Lu Family in the past?”
“Of course! When you married into the Lu family, as your father, I naturally received their betrothal gifts. Am I supposed to refuse all their money and give them a daughter for free?”
Qiao Yin’s face turned pale instantly, and she found it hard to keep balance, “How much money did you take from the Lu Family?”
Qiao Haidong sneered, “Not much, merely twenty million.”
A dizzying darkness swirled before Qiao Yin’s eyes. He had actually, behind her back, accepted twenty million in betrothal gifts!!
She began to feel cold all over, her voice sounding alien to her own ears: “Who did you, get the twenty million from?”
“From Lu Lingche, who else could it be?”
“Where is the money now? Where did it go!”
“Why are you yelling? The money was for me, not you! In order to prevent it from being appropriated by my debt collectors, I immediately purchased a villa for it and put the property under your brother’s name – to be saved for his future wedding costs.”
Qiao Yin staggered, tears welling up in her eyes.
No wonder, no wonder he said she married him only for his money!
No wonder he viewed her suspiciously, thinking she sold even the heirloom jade bracelet the Old Madam gave her just to fill the holes in the Qiao Family’s finances.
The root of the problem was Qiao Haidong!
Why didn’t Lu Lingche ever mention this sum of money? Did he assume she had asked Qiao Haidong to demand it?
Wasn’t he always stingy?
Why would he willingly give a twenty million betrothal gift?
Qiao Yin’s entire body shook slightly: “What else? What else have you demanded from Lu Lingche? What other advantages have you gained from Lu Family?”
Qiao Haidong dismissed her concerns: “Nothing else, it’s just the occasional favor I asked of Lu Lingche to settle a few matters.”
“What matters?”
“What’s with your inquisition?”
“Speak! What exactly happened that required Lu Lingche to smooth things over for you!”
