You Are My Unforgettable Love

Chapter 1675: Qiao Yiyi (5)

Tens of millions?

Dad Qiao widened his eyes in horror and gulped.

Lu Nanze asked, “What’s the matter? Don’t want to spend the money?”

“No, not at all! Of course not! This is the price to marry the daughter of the Li family!” Dad Qiao immediately agreed.

Lu Nanze nodded and said, “Prepare the money and once it’s ready let me know. If there’s nothing else today, you may go.”

Dad Qiao almost said something, but eventually fell silent. He looked at Qiao Yiyi and signaled with his eyes that she should accompany them to the door.

However, she glanced at her father and kept silent.

Dad Qiao couldn’t help but regret his daughter’s obstinacy and slowness. She wasn’t even capable of catching such an obvious hint.

Why on earth had he even moved to marry this daughter off to Lu Nanze?

She was going to be the death of him.

He suppressed his anger and threw Qiao Gang a look as they simultaneously went to the door.

They turned to look at the house again as they were on their way out.

Qiao Yiyi maintained her silence as they walked out.

After they had left, Qiao Yiyi remained where she was, contemplating what to say to Lu Nanze. The man, however, turned back upstairs with no indication that he wished to speak with her.

Qiao Yiyi: ...

It looked like that had just been her being overly enthusiastic.

She went back to her own room. After she did so, she picked up her cell phone and laptop. Her fingers flew over the keyboard as she typed something. A chat window appeared.

She pressed send.

[Yiyi: You there?]

The reply was almost instantaneous.

[Number 2: Here, have always been here. What’s up these days? Didn’t you say you’d contact me only after things have been settled?]

[Yiyi: It’s not safe yet. Do me a favor.]

[Number 2: Go on...]

[Yiyi: Check out how much money the Qiao family has at the moment?]

[Number 2: I already have the information ready for you. They don’t have much money saved, only the house they live in. And oh, thanks to your brother, who is quite an expert at losing your family fortune, the house doesn’t have much in it either.]

Not much in it?

Qiao Yiyi found this laughable.

Some time after Dad Qiao married her mother, his business failed. He had hoped that her mother could fund him and help him tide over the difficult period, but at the time her mother had been in trouble herself. Fearing any unwanted attention that could come with showing one’s wealth, she had had to lie and say that she didn’t have any money.

Believing her words, Dad Qiao had then turned to Qiao Gang’s mother for help. The two hit it off and eventually ended up together.

One could say that Dad Qiao had betrayed her mother for money.

Her mother would laugh bitterly whenever she talked about it. “He’s just an ingrate who had no future perspective. I have enough money to support ten businesses, but he abandoned me for a bit of money. But thanks to this, I saw his true colors. I could have told him my secret otherwise, and it would have been too late. He’d never have been able to keep a secret!”

Her mother had passed her skills as an expert thief to Qiao Yiyi. Her mother had an abundance of family assets and now it was all hers.

Hence, Dad Qiao would never know what he had lost when he had abandoned her mother back then.

Qiao Yiyi smirked at the thought of this. Hence, her father’s plight today...
