Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Mother and Daughter Fall Out

Qiao Xiang was irritated: "When did I say I wouldn’t care for you?"

"Then why won’t you sell the properties?" Lin Hailan followed up with a question.

"The key is, I don’t have many properties! Where would I live if I sold them?" Naturally, Qiao Xiang didn’t want to sell her house.

"Come live at home!" Lin Hailan said, "Just like before, live in our own home."

Qiao Xiang paused and then said, "Mom, you took all the money to your parents’ family. Now your parents’ family should provide the money. They took so much from us, they’ve already made tons of money. Giving back thirty billion is just a drop in the bucket for them."

"But they simply won’t give it!" Lin Hailan shouted, almost in tears.

"So they refuse to give it," Qiao Xiang scoffed. "Mom, this is all due to poor arrangements on your part. Knowing this would happen, why did you act like that at first?"

"Xiangxiang, if your father and I can’t produce the money, we’re really going to prison. Can you actually bear to see us go to jail?" Lin Hailan thought Qiao Xiang was the one who could help in such a critical time.

"Mom, the key is my few properties are simply useless. It’s just a drop in the ocean. Whether I have this billion or not doesn’t affect the overall situation." Qiao Xiang remained unmoved. "You should go back to your grandparents’ house and get back the money you gave them."

Lin Hailan was taken aback. "I’m truly disappointed in you."

"Mom, it’s your grandparents’ home that should disappoint you, not me." Qiao Xiang pointed out bluntly, "Don’t try to morally blackmail me now."

"Are you really going to ignore us?" Lin Hailan couldn’t believe her daughter could be so heartless.

"Can’t help." Qiao Xiang left those three words before directly hanging up the phone.

Holding the phone, Lin Hailan began to cry.

On the other side, Qiao Xiang grasped her phone, cursing several times in anger.

She drove to the Qiao Family.

Originally planning to plead with her grandfather, she unexpectedly saw Qiao Rui.

Immediately, she was infuriated and shouted at Qiao Rui, "Seeing our family in such dire straits, are you satisfied now?"

Qiao Rui lifted her gaze to her, calmly asking, "How’s your family unlucky?"

"Do you still want to argue? My parents are being sent in by you." Qiao Xiang replied annoyingly, "Regardless of how I’ve offended you, you don’t need to use my parents to vent your anger, right?"

Qiao Rui looked at Qiao Xiang, her gaze calm and straightforward.

As always, her appearance was serene and full of scrutiny.

Qiao Xiang felt uneasy being looked at by Qiao Rui.

She hated Qiao Rui’s kind of gaze the most. It made her feel uneasy, as if she was beneath Qiao Rui.

"What are you looking at?" Qiao Xiang shouted in annoyance.

"Looking at how shameless you are!" Qiao Rui spoke quietly, her voice cold and pointed, "You dare to reason with me here, let’s clarify things then. Shouldn’t your parents return the thirty billion they took from the Qiao Family?"

Qiao Rui’s eyes held a chilling intent, her words carrying an unshakable sense that induced fear in the heart.

Qiao Xiang snapped back in anger, "My parents have worked hard for the Qiao Family all these years, what’s wrong with taking some money?"

"Qiao Junxian squandered the Qiao Family!" Qiao Rui reprimanded sharply.

In an instant, the air grew stifling.

"Who said—" Qiao Xiang tried to say something, but Elder Qiao interrupted.

"Are you feeling wronged?" Elder Qiao exclaimed coldly, "What are you causing trouble for here?"

"Grandpa, I can’t watch my parents go to jail." Reluctant, Qiao Xiang still expressed her wish.

"It’s not only about your parents going to jail now. You might be imprisoned anytime too." Elder Qiao stated coldly, "The issue you handled in Liancheng hasn’t been settled completely. Do you really believe you’re safe?"

Qiao Xiang was stunned, her face turning pale. "Wasn’t it said that it’s over? Who keeps holding onto it?"

She looked at Qiao Rui, "Is it because you pretendingly helped me but actually wanted me dead?"

"Yes, it’s me!" Qiao Rui declared coldly, "I wanted to see if you had any remorse. Seeing your current appearance, you feel no guilt, so I won’t be polite to you. I’ll send you in together."

"Qiao Rui." Elder Qiao called out once more.

From Elder Qiao’s perspective, Qiao Family members should absolutely not go to jail.

That brings no benefit to the Qiao Family.

Still, Qiao Junxian took too much money, making it difficult for Elder Qiao to say anything now. The interests of the Qiao Family must come first.

Between Qiao Junxian and thirty billion, the thirty billion is undoubtedly more important.

This thirty billion can revive the Qiao Family, its impact is enormous, and that’s unquestionable.

Of course, if possible, Elder Qiao hopes that after the son returns the money, the matter can be suppressed.

But now it seems Qiao Junxian simply doesn’t want to return the thirty billion, even taking risks.

He even went as far as putting crocodiles in the reservoir, making Elder Qiao aware of the danger involved.

He fears having no deterrent power outside.

If he goes to prison, then others in the Qiao Family might have it easier.

His real goal is not merely the thirty billion, but more wealth that has been consumed by them.

Elder Qiao hopes to recover all that wealth from them later.

This is Elder Qiao’s goal.

Qiao Rui naturally understood Elder Qiao’s thoughts, knowing he wouldn’t interfere too much with her.

After all, she is currently Elder Qiao’s sole leverage, a presence that can make her uncles wary.

"Qiao Rui, you don’t need to speak like that." Elder Qiao intervened, "Grandpa knows if you wanted your elder sister in jail, you wouldn’t have helped in Liancheng."

"Grandpa, how do you know she won’t?" Qiao Xiang yelled angrily, "If she truly wanted to help, she wouldn’t leave a loose end."

"Silence." Elder Qiao commanded irritably, "The matters you handled, do they count as personal matters?"

Qiao Xiang: "I..."

"Someone genuinely helped you, yet you’re not grateful but uttering such words. No one would want to help you anymore." Elder Qiao said sternly.

"Grandpa, she admitted it herself." Qiao Xiang insisted.

"Fine, you’ll wait for the matter to restart, and you can go to jail." Elder Qiao realized Qiao Xiang was non-receptive and knew her grudge against Qiao Rui was due to Pei Liyan.

Qiao Rui spoke once more, "Elder sister, you’d better recognize your stance and understand your current situation. Don’t assume I’m easygoing, I’m not as forgiving as you think."

Fuming, Qiao Xiang turned and left, returning to her residence where she started smashing everything.

Lin Hailan entered, just in time to see the mess.

She screamed, "What are you smashing? I bought these. I’m going to sell them!"
