Chapter 42: Chapter 42 He Has Arrived (1)

"Don’t..."

Qiao Mo felt a wave of suffocation and suddenly woke up from her dream.

Sitting on the soft big bed, Qiao Mo broke into a cold sweat, her small face covered with fine beads of sweat, as if she could still feel the chill of the deep sea.

Looking at the time, it was already eleven in the morning. Qiao Mo sighed in relief, realizing she had slept for so long in a daze.

She changed her clothes and went downstairs, went out to eat something.

But as soon as she returned, she saw that almost everyone was in the first-floor hall, waiting for her return as if it were a tribunal.

Old Mrs. Qiao and her group had been waiting for five days, and finally, they couldn’t bear it any longer.

She initially thought that pressured by Qiao Xuan’s illness, Qiao Mo would eventually agree to meet with Chairman Xia. After all, she was just a little girl who had yet to graduate from her master’s program, where would she find such a large amount of money for the surgery?

But she never expected, after waiting for several days, that there was still no sign of her compromising, which made her even more anxious.

"Xiao Mo, I’ve heard that Xiao Xuan’s condition is not good. Do you really intend to ignore his life or death?" Old Mrs. Qiao spoke gently, appearing somewhat kindhearted.

Qiao Mo just looked at her coldly without saying a word.

Old Mrs. Qiao trembled slightly as she stood up, turned around, and looked at the two-story villa, her eyes a little red: "This house will soon no longer belong to us. In three days, it will be seized by the court. Do you really intend to watch us, the old and the young, become homeless?"

Qiao Mo’s eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm; this was the tragedy of the Qiao family.

With just Qiao Dehou imprisoned, the entire Qiao family was instantly overthrown.

It’s said it takes three generations to make a noble, and although the Qiao family was financially strong before, they were inevitably regarded by true elite families as upstart outsiders.

"Xiao Mo, Grandma knows you have endured a lot of grievances, but your father is in prison now, and your brother’s life is uncertain. This family is about to fall apart too. Do you really plan to turn a blind eye and do nothing?" Old Mrs. Qiao had tears in her eyes, which pulled at the heartstrings.

However, it seemed like Qiao Mo’s blood was cold.

She continued to look at these people coldly: "Grandma, don’t forget, Father is not just my father; he’s also your son. Brother is not just my brother; he’s also the grandson of the Qiao family. There aren’t many people in the Qiao family, but there are still more than a dozen of us. Why must Grandma insist that an illegitimate child like me bear everyone’s fate? I, Qiao Mo, don’t claim to be that capable!"

Old Mrs. Qiao was slightly stunned, and the aunt beside her couldn’t help but get a little anxious: "Qiao Mo! How can your blood be so cold! You keep saying we don’t need to worry about Xiao Xuan’s illness, yet now you ignore him! How can you justify this to your father?"

"No need for Aunt to worry, Doctor Qin has already agreed to perform surgery on Xiao Xuan."

As soon as Qiao Mo spoke, the people around her were stunned.

They had been waiting all these days for her to give in, but she actually said that Qin Zhaoran had agreed to the surgery!

"You... you... how could Doctor Qin agree to you?" Aunt couldn’t help but speak again.

"People take money to resolve problems. I gave Doctor Qin fifty million, so he naturally agreed to do the surgery for Xiao Xuan." Qiao Mo’s expression was indifferent.

"Fif... fifty million! Where did you get the money! You actually used fifty million to cure that bastard... to treat Qiao Xuan!" Aunt’s voice became sharp upon hearing this.
