Chapter 259: Garbage Shelter

"I trust Eldest Uncle won\'t harm me. No matter the solution, I\'m willing to try."

Qiao Haidong was pleased, "That\'s great. You\'re obedient, and I appreciate it. Come with me to the study, let\'s discuss it."

Upon saying that, he stood up and headed upstairs.

When he led Qiao Lainan to the second floor, he saw Jiang Huiru looking at him with gloomy expression.

"What\'s wrong with your expression?"

"Oh wow, you can actually tell that I\'m displeased. I thought you had turned a blind eye. Suddenly, a bunch of moochers materialize in our home, and you\'re not bothered. When did our home turn into a garbage collection site?"

Qiao Haidong didn\'t want to lose face in front of his nieces. He rebuked immediately, "What nonsense are you spouting? They are here to stay for a few days. I\'m not so destitute as to not provide them meals! Weren\'t you supposed to pick up Jiasen from school today? Why didn\'t you go?"

"How could I go when you took away the car?"

Qiao Haidong\'s anger flared, "Couldn\'t you take a taxi to pick him up? Do you have a pig\'s brain? If you don\'t pick up our son, how should he get home? Are you even his mother!"

"Take a taxi to pick him up? Won\'t that embarrass my son? Which parents don\'t drive luxurious cars to pick up their kids? How can I show face if I take a taxi?"

While the two were arguing, someone walked in from the doorway. Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

It was Qiao Jiasen.

He was wearing the Galaxy International\'s uniform, carrying a school bag. Tall and thin, his handsome face bore a maturity incompatible with his age.

Seeing so many people suddenly in his home, he was taken aback.

Upon seeing him, Dou Yuemei clasped him joyously, "Oh, my good grandson is back! Granny missed you so much. Let granny take a look, have you lost weight?"

As she spoke, she was caressing Qiao Jiasen.

Qiao Jiasen hated it when people touched him. He coldly brushed aside Dou Yuemei, and headed straight upstairs.

Qiao Lainan tried to speak to him, but he didn\'t even glance at her.

Qiao Haidong stopped him, "Son, how did you get home?"

"A classmate\'s dad drove me back."

Qiao Jiasen looked up, his detached voice asked, "Have you been asking my sister for money recently?"

Qiao Haidong hurriedly replied, "No, absolutely not!"

"You better not have. If I find out you asked her for money, I\'m quitting from Galaxy International."

He agreed to return to this international school because Qiao Haidong promised him not to pressure Qiao Yin to fill in the family\'s financial gaps.

"I won\'t, I\'ve stopped asking her for money. You study peacefully at Galaxy International, no switching schools, and no part-time jobs, understood?"

"Understood."

"It\'s all because of your mother. She didn\'t pick you up today, thankfully your friend was kind enough to drive you home. You must get along well with your classmates. They\'re all from wealthy and influential families. If you play your cards right, their connections will surely be helpful in the future."

Jiang Huiru was displeased when he blamed her, "You were the one who should\'ve picked up Jiasen, not me! Besides, I had already called our son. I knew that he was getting a lift from his classmate\'s family, that\'s why I didn\'t go to pick him up."

"Who am I hustling for outside? Isn\'t it for this family? I\'m going around, borrowing money, trying to get back on our feet. But you? All you know is to spend money! Even picking up our son is too much for you, what can you do!"

"Where did I spend money? I simply bought a few clothes! Other wives go for beauty treatments, buy bags, jewelry, and even have afternoon tea. Me? I have none of those! I even serve your poor relatives from the countryside. Why should I!"

Qiao Jiasen listened to their endless bickering, his face expressionless. He walked through them towards his room.

Since the family had been bankrupt, his parents became like this.

Blaming each other, penny-pinching, there was no harmony as before.

He was liking this home less and less.

As he was about to enter his room, someone else walked into the house.

It was Qiao Yin!
