Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Asking for Help Requires Sincerity (5)

Old Mrs. Qiao took out a card and placed it on the coffee table.

Qiao Mo was slightly taken aback and didn’t react immediately.

Her usually utilitarian grandmother was actually taking out a million for Xiao Xuan’s treatment at a time like this?

Facing Old Mrs. Qiao’s loving gaze, Qiao Mo felt a moment of confusion.

She thought, maybe she still cherished family ties.

Maybe this gray-haired old woman in front of her also had her own helplessness.

Maybe she wasn’t as cold as Qiao Mo thought...

Maybe...

The room was quiet, but seeing Qiao Mo standing still before the stairs, Old Mrs. Qiao eventually couldn’t hold back and picked up the bank card, walking over to Qiao Mo.

"Xiao Mo, as long as you accompany Chairman Xia once, this money is yours. Whether you use it for Xiao Xuan’s treatment or anything else, it’s up to you." Old Mrs. Qiao picked up Qiao Mo’s hand and gently placed the bank card in her palm.

Hearing this, Qiao Mo couldn’t help but laugh softly.

Ha ha, she thought, how could her grandmother suddenly become so kind?

She thought, why did she take out a million for Xiao Xuan’s treatment, and yet her aunt had no reaction...

It turned out she was simply being delusional!

In the end, she was just too naive!

Seeing Qiao Mo laugh softly, Old Mrs. Qiao frowned, persuading her earnestly once more: "Xiao Mo, the Qiao family is out of money, and after you rejected Mr. Fu last time, there are few people left who can help us. As long as you are willing to accompany Chairman Xia once, he will agree to lend the Qiao family one hundred million..."

"Ha ha... Grandma sure knows how to play her cards right."

Qiao Mo laughed softly, but a hint of inescapable loneliness rose in her eyes.

This elderly woman she called grandmother, did she take Qiao Mo for a prostitute in a hotel?

If it doesn’t work once, come again.

"Xiao Mo, you just need to accompany Chairman Xia once..."

Qiao Mo brushed away the tears in her eyes, looking at Old Mrs. Qiao in front of her and softly interrupted: "Aren’t you afraid that after I accompany Chairman Xia, the first thing I will do is ask him not to lend money to the Qiao family?"

Old Mrs. Qiao was slightly at a loss and then thought of how Qiao Mo refused Fu Nancheng’s help last time, frowned, and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Qiao Mo sneered, shoving the bank card back into Old Mrs. Qiao’s hand: "You should keep this money for your own retirement."

With that, she turned and went upstairs.

Ha ha.

How foolish she was?

To actually believe they cared about Xiao Xuan’s life and death...

Over these ten years, shouldn’t she have seen through it?

Seeing this, Old Mrs. Qiao became anxious, her voice rising a few notches: "Qiao Mo—! Are you really going to just stand by and watch Xiao Xuan die?"

Qiao Mo paused slightly and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Xuan won’t die, and you don’t need to worry about him."

Seeing her plans fall through, Old Mrs. Qiao was furious, "Devil! Devil!"

Qiao Mo remained indifferent: "If I’m a devil, then Grandma should find a high monk to exorcise me? Someone like Chairman Xia won’t work."

"Good, good, good—! Fine! I’ll see how you manage to treat Qiao Xuan!"

Old Mrs. Qiao was trembling with anger, almost unable to stand firm.

Qiao Mo coldly withdrew her gaze, and when she reached the end of the staircase, as if suddenly reminded of something, she turned back and chuckled: "Grandma eats Alaskan king crab, doesn’t she?"

Several people, including Old Mrs. Qiao, were stunned, seemingly not expecting Qiao Mo to suddenly change the subject.

Zhao Hongxia, afraid Old Mrs. Qiao would feel embarrassed, immediately explained: "I bought those crabs to support everyone’s health... considering everyone was worried about your father’s issues...."

Qiao Mo smiled slightly, directly interrupting her aunt’s words: "It seems you all don’t know yet. I heard the Alaskan waters have been seriously polluted by nuclear waste this year; all the seafood there is carcinogenic."
