The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 229: The Sky Over This Family Has Changed
Qiao Yaozu never wanted to think about these things before, but his daughter’s words woke him up; some people just can’t be spoiled too much.
"Look at you, you finally told the truth! You’ve always blamed me, thinking it was because of me that you couldn’t go to college! Back then, it was you who said you wouldn’t go to college to support me, not me forcing you!" Qiao Guangzong also got angry.
Qiao Yaozu only felt like a bucket of cold water was dumped over his head upon hearing this, chilling him to the core. In his anger, he laughed instead, "Yeah, I brought it up myself, no one forced me! I damn well deserved it, okay!"
Qiao Guangzong’s face also turned grim, knowing his words were inappropriate. He didn’t regret telling the truth, but regretted that telling the truth messed things up.
"What are you two arguing about! Yaozu, you’re all family, and Guangzong is your brother. If he needs money, isn’t it right for you to give it to him!" Old Mrs. Qiao also spoke up.
Qiao Yaozu immediately raised his hand to stop Old Mrs. Qiao from saying more. He said, "Mom, a brother is a brother, but once you’re married, you’re two families! There’s an old saying, ’Clear accounts between brothers,’ no logic for an elder brother to be supported by the younger one, even less a whole family by the younger brother! The money I paid for your education, the money that supports your whole family, let’s consider that settled, but from now on! Clear accounts between brothers; if you want to get a penny from me, make an IOU!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
"Fine, then I’ll borrow from you! I’ll make one!"
"Sorry, I have no money right now. I’m planning to acquire a company, all funds are in use! No extra to lend! Show them out!" Qiao Yaozu put extra emphasis on "show them out," then turned and went upstairs. Today he finally saw his brother’s true nature.
His daughter was right after all, but ultimately he was also at fault in this matter! He would learn from this!
The servant immediately came over and made a gesture to show him out. Qiao Guangzong only felt utterly humiliated!
Old Mrs. Qiao also had nothing to say. She sensed her second son’s determination, but she couldn’t understand, in such a short period of time, how could the second son have changed so much.
"Mom, look at him, aren’t you going to do anything!" Qiao Guangzong angrily pointed at his brother’s back.
"Isn’t it all because of that little wild brat, Qiao Qiqi! If she hadn’t returned, our family would still be peaceful and harmonious!" Old Mrs. Qiao was very upset, wishing she could throw Qiao Qiqi out, but she was also helpless. In that moment, she finally understood that the dynamics of this family had changed.
"Hmph, I will make him regret this!" Qiao Guangzong said angrily, then turned and left.
Old Mrs. Qiao sat on the sofa for a long time without moving.
...
Qiao Qiqi heard the conversation downstairs clearly. She was very satisfied with her father’s response this time. It seemed her father finally decided not to tolerate Uncle’s family anymore.
She took off her headphones and saw her brother looking for a place as if he wanted to sleep with her again.
She looked at her brother with some amusement, "How about we move a chaise lounge in for you from now on?"
"I think that’s a good idea. This sofa doesn’t look too comfortable," Qiao Jiezhe said, a bit frustrated.
Just as the siblings were laughing and talking, the study door opened, and Wu Lening walked in. Seeing her son, she said, "Jiezhe, it’s so late, why are you still in your sister’s room? Go back to your room and sleep now!"
"Mom, I’ll sleep with sister," Qiao Jiezhe said carelessly.
"Your sister is a grown woman now, and you’re a grown man. How can you two sleep together? What if people talk? What about your sister’s reputation!" Wu Lening rarely got angry.
Qiao Jiezhe was taken aback.
