âLetâs settle this first. Jierou, donât cry. Iâll go upstairs to look for your grandfather. Youâve caused such a big incident, so he and Dongliang will have to bear some responsibility.â
Qiao Jierou immediately followed Old Madam Qiao upstairs.
Old Master Qiao had also returned from the sanatorium after hearing about the matter today. He was thinking of ways to resolve the issue.
There were too many people below, and it was too noisy. He could only stay in the study room to avoid them for the time being.
Qiao Dongliang had been by his side the whole time.
At this moment, Qiao Weiyang was sitting beside him, which finally made him smile.
Hearing the urgent knock on the door, Qiao Dongliang glanced at Old Master Qiao, who nodded. Then, he opened the door.
âDongliang, youâre here too? Perfect,â Old Madam Qiao said. Then, she saw a young lady sitting calmly at the side drinking tea. âQiao Weiyang? You have the cheek to come?â
âI didnât steal or snatch anything. I came back to see my grandfather and brother. Why wouldnât I dare to come?â Qiao Weiyang said calmly and put down the teacup. âOr is it because the party being investigated by the police but is still protected by others is embarrassed?â
These words hit Qiao Jierouâs sore spot.
She took advantage of the fact that Hu Haitian had yet to wake up and rushed back to the country. There were many things that she could not escape from.
Old Madam Qiao didnât want to argue with her. Instead, she said, âOld man, Jierou is in some trouble now. You and Dongliang should contribute some money to help her resolve it.â
She said it very matter-of-factly.
Old Master Qiao frowned deeply and sighed. âOriginally, the Qiao family should indeed share the responsibility for Jierouâs accident. However, some time ago, you guys were arguing about dividing the assets, so Iâve done just that.This matter was notarized and published in the newspaper. Now that Jierou is in trouble, she should bear the responsibility herself. Otherwise, this matter will not be in accordance with the family rules or the company rules. If word gets out, will our Qiao family still be able to do business?â
Old Madam Qiao choked back her words and felt very nauseous.
Qiao Jierou said aggrievedly, âGrandpa, please help me this time.â
âYouâre my granddaughter, so itâs only right for me to help you. How about this? You guys calculate how much we need to compensate first. Bring the accounts for me to review. If you, your grandma, and your parents canât come up with enough money, Iâll help you fork out the remainder,â Old Master Qiao said generously.
Qiao Jierou choked. Actually, even though she, Old Madam Qiao, and her mother were short of money, it was not insufficient. It was just that such a huge loss had a huge impact on them.
They could only watch helplessly as they used more than half of their savings and assets as compensation. One could imagine how heartbreaking it was. That was why they wanted to share some of the financial burden with Old Master Qiao and Qiao Dongliang.
But if Old Master Qiao said that, how could she come asking for him for money?
Qiao Weiyang poured another cup of tea for Old Master Qiao and said, âThatâs right. Jierou, itâs only right for you to bear the responsibility for your mistakes. Itâs your parentsâ responsibility to help you bear the responsibility as well. You also have your grandmother to help you. Thatâs her generosity. Grandpa is willing to bear the rest for you because he dotes on you. As for Dongliang, heâs not even 18 years old yet. This money will only be his in the future. He canât touch it. Otherwise, what will happen to Dongliang in the future?â
Old Madam Qiao doted on her grandson so much that she immediately said, âWe definitely canât touch Dongliangâs money. But old man, you canât just pay the remainder when Jierou canât afford it anymore. At least let her have something to rely on!â
âIâve said it before. Iâll take responsibility for what she canât afford. How can I give her any more? If I give extra money to Jierou, what about Dongliang and Weiyang? If I want to give more money to one person, I have to split it evenly between the three of them!â
Old Master Qiao was furious.
Huang Shumin and Qiao Jierou clenched their fists. They wanted Old Master Qiaoâs things, but they didnât want Qiao Weiyang to have them either.
The current situation was in a deadlock.
Old Master Qiao said, âIf you can afford it, why come to me? Have some backbone! If you canât afford it, Iâll bear as much as I can for you! Thatâs all. Donât say anything else!â
Old Madam Qiao was about to say something when Qiao Weiyang stopped her. âOld Madam, Grandpa isnât in good health. If you still anger him, the consequences will be unbearable.â
When Old Madam Qiao thought of this, she had no choice but to leave.
This path of retreat was blocked. When the three of them went downstairs, their expressions were ugly.
Old Master Qiao was furious.
âDongliang, go to my bag and get the medicine for Grandpa.â Qiao Weiyang patted Old Master Qiaoâs back. âGrandpa, donât worry. They should be able to bear these losses.â
She took the medicine and placed one in Old Master Qiaoâs mouth for him to swallow.
Old Master Qiao finally caught his breath and sighed. âHow could I have raised such evil?! Weiyang, itâs been hard on you all these years.â
âGrandpa, donât worry about me. Take care of yourself.â
âDongliang, did you see that? You canât learn these things, understand?â
Qiao Dongliang walked to his side and said in a low voice, âIâve never learned from them. Iâve always wanted to learn from Sister Weiyang.â
âGrandpa, keep this medicine.â Qiao Weiyang put the bottle of medicine in his hand. âItâs good for your heart. Donât worry about them for the time being. The most important thing is to take good care of your body.â
With that, she looked at Qiao Dongliang. âDonât come back so often in the future. You should finish your exams first.â
Qiao Weiyangâs tone was a little harsh, but Qiao Dongliang was very obedient. He said honestly, âSister, itâs good that youâre still willing to scold me. I was really afraid that youâd ignore me in the future because of Second Sister.â
âWhy would I ignore you? Youâre not like them. Donât think too much about it.â
Every time Old Master Qiao encountered Qiao Jierou, he would have a headache. When he saw how Qiao Weiyang and Qiao Dongliang interacted, he finally revealed a gratified smile.
Why was there such a huge difference between children from the same family?
Qiao Weiyang got someone to send Qiao Dongliang to school and pushed Old Master Qiaoâs wheelchair to the parking lot.
âWhere are you taking Grandpa?â Qiao Jierou saw Qiao Weiyangâs actions and questioned loudly.
âCanât I bring him back to the sanatorium?â Qiao Weiyang asked.
Which of them would care about Old Master Qiaoâs health? When had they ever paid attention to Old Master Qiao and visited him unless they needed him?
Qiao Weiyang held back her words, afraid that Old Master Qiao would be sad.
However, how could Old Master Qiao not know about these things?
He had long seen through them, but he still treated everyone fairly. However, these people continued to hurt him in various ways.
