Chapter 105: Playing The Family Card?
"I spent so much effort cultivating the Suranne Grass myself. How has it suddenly become the property of the Qiao family?"
Su Xue knew very well that Qiao Nian was displeased with the Qiao family. Putting on a polite demeanor, she said, "Qiao Nian, what happened back then was our fault, but at that time, your father and I were both busy with the company. The reason we didn’t visit you was to cover up the fact that you were once pregnant and had a child. Everything was for your marriage. If others knew that you were pregnant and even gave birth to a child, they might look at you differently."
Seeing that Qiao Nian was silent, Su Xue thought that Qiao Nian had been swayed by her words. She continued, "Back then, if news of what happened to you got out, you wouldn’t be able to marry anyone for the rest of your life. Qiao Nian, we’re family, after all. Your father also has you in his heart. He dotes on you a lot. Often, because of you, he secretly wipes his tears at night."
Qiao Nian stood there expressionlessly. She looked toward Su Xue and asked curiously, "Then, can I take everything the Qiao family owns, and chase you out of the family home? Didn’t you say that we’re family? What’s yours is mine."
"You..." Su Xue’s face turned red with anger.
"Were you lying to me just now?" Qiao Nian looked at Su Xue. She wanted to see what other preposterous lies this woman could make up.
"How... How is that the same? We are your elders!" Su Xue stammered.
"Elders? For my sake, you sent me to a mental hospital?" Qiao Nian’s expression was cold, her voice even colder. "If the same thing happened to any other child of a rich family, the parents would just send their child overseas to study. But why was I sent to a mental hospital? When I was alone in the mental hospital with no one to rely on, what were you doing? Why didn’t you say that you were my elders back then?"
