The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 228: Are You Really Going to Be an Ingrate?
After Qiao Guangzong came in, he looked at the harmonious scene of the family, feeling a surge of anger almost rushing out. Clearly, he used to be the main character of this family before, and even the second brother’s family had to appease him!
How did things suddenly turn out like this? The family is gone, the son is not his biological child, the daughter is completely ruined, and every day money must be burned. That old hag is even more despicable!
"Mom, come upstairs with me for a moment, I have something to tell you." Seeing the situation, Qiao Yue’er grabbed Wu Lening and went upstairs. She knew that her uncle coming here must mean trouble, and since his whole family was ruined, she didn’t want to get involved anymore.
After all, they’re all useless people now, and there was no point in expending effort trying to appease them.
Qiao Guangzong came in and sat down, noticing that there wasn’t even a cup of tea served, he called out somewhat angrily, "Are servants so unruly nowadays? Not even offering a cup of tea?! When I was in charge, no one dared to slack off and be sneaky like this!"
Qiao Yaozu helplessly glanced at the servant, signaling for tea to be served. The servant reluctantly went to fetch a cup of tea.
Seeing this, Qiao Guangzong became even more annoyed, but considering the purpose of his visit, he suppressed his anger and said, "Yaozu, I came to discuss something with you."
"Brother, whatever you need, just say it, if I can help, I certainly will," Qiao Yaozu said readily.
Qiao Guangzong felt a bit better and said, "Here’s the thing, a friend of mine wants to invest in a project, needing some seed money. Don’t think your brother doesn’t want to share good things with you, this is a lucrative opportunity! As long as you invest you’ll be counted as a shareholder, and you’ll be sharing in the profits."
"What kind of project is it?" Qiao Yaozu immediately became alert.
"It’s a loan project, very profitable! Initially, it’s just about paying some interest to those people, later money will keep rolling in." Qiao Guangzong explained.
"After the money comes in, what are you planning on investing in to pay the high interest to depositors?"
"As for what to invest in, that’ll be discussed later, first gather the money, and then we’ll definitely have investment options." Right now, Qiao Yaozu is quite short on cash, he got used to receiving money from his younger brother. He always spent lavishly before, and now suddenly without money to claim, it feels unbearably difficult, feeling constrained in everything.
"Brother, you haven’t even clarified what to invest in, this is nonsense! What kind of friend did you make, he’s definitely trying to deceive you, this is absolutely impossible, this is illegal!"
Qiao Yaozu isn’t foolish, he could immediately tell there was a problem. This sounds like illegal fundraising, using his money to pay part of the high interest to attract more people to deposit money, then to pay the high interest to another part, robbing Peter to pay Paul, would eventually lead to trouble.
Whether it’s someone trying to fool his brother, or his brother trying to collude with outsiders to trick him isn’t clear!
"How is this illegal? You don’t understand, this is an aggressive industry! Yaozu, we’re brothers in blood, your brother is seeking help from you now, is this the attitude you have? Do you really want to be a heartless wolf?" Seeing his brother pushing back and forth and accusing him of illegal activities, Qiao Guangzong’s face completely changed.
"In what way am I a heartless wolf? Back when you wanted to go to university, clearly my score was even higher than yours! I could’ve attended Kyoto University! You said you wanted to go to university, I took on a job without a second thought to support you! These years I’ve been the one supporting your whole family, and now it turns out I’m the heartless wolf?"
