YM778.TV Chapter 7 - 7 Family
Qiao Yin couldn’t stand it anymore, raising her voice involuntarily: “Dad, who exactly is your daughter? You won’t admonish him but blame me for being headstrong? I’m not causing trouble, I’m rationally considering divorce because he cheated. I can’t be with him anymore!”
Qiao Haidong became agitated: “I don’t agree! Whether he’s been unfaithful or not, you must stay with him. I still have to keep borrowing money from the Lu Family. The Lu Family didn’t agree today, and Madam Lu implied that we would discuss it again next time. If you stir up talk about divorce, we won’t be able to borrow the money. Without that money, I can’t pay our debts. The court would sentence me to jail! Can you bear seeing me in jail?”
“So you’re ready to throw me under the bus for borrowing money? When you borrowed money, did you know how Madam Lu belittled me today? She will never lend it to you, she’s just toying with you!”
“What do you mean, throwing you into a fire pit? Countless women are dying to marry into a prestigious family like the Lu’s. You’re living a lavish lifestyle at the Lu’s, eating and wearing the finest things. You should be grateful to marry into the Lu family; not everyone is that fortunate!”
Qiao Yin said through gritted teeth: “Whoever wants this fortune can have it, not me! I haven’t spent a cent of the Lu family’s money, and Lu Lingche hasn’t given me any household expenses either. Your ‘lavish lifestyle’ exists only in your imagination.”
“Whether it’s my imagination or not isn’t important. What’s important is that you are the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. Yinyin, listen to me, I’m begging you, don’t talk about divorce. If you truly divorce him, who would you marry the second time? Who would want you? It would be better to birth a son for Lu Lingche as soon as possible!”
There’s already someone eager to give birth to Lu Lingche’s son, she doesn’t need to worry about this.
Qiao Yin felt like she was in freezing water, after a long silence, she asked: “What if I divorce him and ask for a large amount of compensation from the Lu family to help clear your debts?”
“How much compensation… can you get?”
Qiao Yin smiled suddenly, her tears dropping one by one: “You indeed only care about money.”
“Don’t be so cynical, I’ve doted on you since you were little, anything you asked for, I bought it for you. When did I ever allow you to suffer? Why do you think I work so hard to earn money? It’s all for your sake!”
“No, I still don’t agree to your divorce. How much can you get from a divorce settlement anyway? It’s better for you to live well with Lu Lingche, why worry about being short of money in the future?”
“Oh right, your brother’s school fees are needed. The tuition cost is half a million, and the other living expenses should also be about the same. Can you transfer one million to me first?”
Qiao Yin paused: “You said last month that our family needed living expenses and you took all my money, now do I have to support my brother too?”
Qiao Haidong replied indignantly: “We’re not asking you to support him, just asking for a little money. Why are you being so petty? Your brother will be your support when he grows up, don’t be shortsighted and unwilling to pay!”
“How didn’t I pay? I’ve given you all my money, I don’t have any left!”
“Do you think I’d believe that? Or is it because you’ve always resented that your brother is your Aunt Jiang’s son, so you’re unwilling to help? Let me tell you, no matter who gave birth to him, he is my son, he is your real brother! As his elder sister, you cannot watch him get expelled from school because he can’t pay the tuition!”
“The tuition fee for international schools is too high and our family can’t afford such high expenditures right now. Why don’t you switch him to a public school? I went to a public high school too, wasn’t it fine?”
“That’s out of the question! Your brother is a boy, he must go to the best school. That’s how he can get the best education and make friends with the highest-ranking people. I worked really hard to get him into this school. We can’t let him drop out now. Transfer the money quickly. If you don’t have it, ask Lu Lingche for it. One million is just small change for him.”
