Chapter 81: I Don’t Want To Work With You Anymore

Qiao Zhenguo was just about to nod when he saw Qin An wave his hand. “Impossible, impossible. Qiao Xi is the Qiao family’s eldest daughter. She’s the daughter you had with your first wife. How could you let her ride in a crappy car that costs less than 200,000 yuan? Besides, letting the Qiao family’s second daughter ride in a world-class luxury car will incur the wrath of the heavens.”
Qin An smiled meaningfully. “If I remember correctly, that luxury car belongs to the Qiao family’s eldest daughter’s mother. Back then, when Eldest Miss Qiao’s mother customized this car, she said that it was a gift for her daughter. President Qiao, I believe you won’t be so indiscriminate as to give the inheritance of your first wife to an illegitimate daughter, right? If news of this gets out, who knows what the public will say about you being inhumane?”
Qin An’s words were indeed nasty, but with his status, Qiao Zhenguo dared not show an ugly expression. He did not dare to retort and could only lick his lips while smiling obsequiously. He had given this car to Rou Rou as a gift. He had even planned on letting her go to the Meng family’s banquet in this car. Who knew that before he could even get into the car, such a thing happened?
When Xu Mei and Qiao Rou heard Qin An’s words, their expressions did not look too good. Qiao Rou’s eyes were filled with tears. Why? Didn’t Qin An come for her? Why was he speaking up for that b*tch, Qiao Xi?
They did not speak for a long time and stood there like pillars. Qin An licked his lips impatiently. “Heh, why aren’t you saying anything? Is it because I was right… This car was prepared for the Qiao family’s second daughter? The Qiao family’s eldest daughter isn’t even allowed to keep her mother’s belongings? They were snatched by an illegitimate daughter instead?”
His last sentence was for Qiao Xi. Before Qiao Xi could speak, Qiao Zhenguo explained, “President Qin, there might be a misunderstanding. Although this car belonged to Qiao Xi’s mother, I’ve already said that the things in the Qiao family belong to the most capable. Rou Rou has always been kind-hearted and talented, so she has the right to take this car…”
Qin An did not wish to listen to his sophistry. He raised his hand and interrupted him. “If that’s the case, there’s no need for me to work with the Qiao family anymore. President Qiao, you’re a person who can’t differentiate between right and wrong. You gave your illegitimate daughter the assets of your legitimate daughter and let her ride your coattails. Such actions have really destroyed my good impression of you. I find it hard to believe that you’ll perform well in our future collaborations.”
He shook the dust off his shoulders. “President Qiao, goodbye.”
Qiao Zhenguo was greatly shocked. The collaboration between Qin An and Qiao Corporation was worth 200 million! To Qiao Corporation, Qin An was a life-saving straw that could revive the company. If Qin An were to leave, where would he get such a large sum of money?
However, Qin An could only see Qiao Xi’s identity as a legitimate daughter. He did not see how vicious she was. Although he was biased toward Qiao Rou, it was only because Qiao Rou was outstanding!
Qiao Rou was smart and sensible, while Qiao Xi would only create trouble for him. He had no choice but to give up on Qiao Xi…
Qin An went farther and farther away. Qiao Zhenguo had bet all of Qiao Corporation’s assets on this investment. If Qin An were to really leave, the entire Qiao family would be doomed!
With this in mind, Qiao Zhenguo glanced at Qiao Rou. Under Qiao Rou’s disbelieving gaze, he hurriedly ran to Qin An’s side and said obsequiously, “President Qin, President Qin, you’ve misunderstood. How could I be such a father? This car originally belonged to Qiao Xi. Rou Rou was just curious and wanted to take a look. If you think it’s inappropriate, I’ll get her to leave now.”
Qiao Rou’s face turned pale. “Dad, how could you…”
That was her car! She had the right to show off. How did it become Qiao Xi’s in the blink of an eye?!
However, Qiao Zhenguo was not in the mood to care about Qiao Rou now. If he did not coax Qin An, Qiao Rou would not be able to continue being the esteemed second daughter of the Qiao family. She would also not be able to leave the house with a chauffeur. Qiao Zhenguo was now extremely clear-headed. “President Qin, what you see is different from what you think. Whether it’s this luxury car or that small car that’s less than 200,000 yuan, they both belong to Qiao Xi. It’s just that Qiao Xi is uncomfortable with the limited edition car that’s too expensive and doesn’t like to sit in it.”
Qin An smirked. “Really? Are you telling the truth?”
Qiao Zhenguo’s gaze was cold as he looked at Qiao Xi, signaling her to continue the act. While threatening Qiao Xi, he did not forget to answer Qin An’s question. “Yes, yes. No matter how outstanding Qiao Rou is, she’s still an illegitimate daughter. Her mother is a mistress and that’s a fact that can’t be changed. In the future, the company and the Qiao family will still be handed to Qiao Xi. Perhaps it’s because of this that I’m more stringent with Qiao Xi.. Qiao Rou has nothing to do and has accompanied me for a longer time than Qiao Xi, so I can’t help but spoil her a little.”
