Qiao Residence.
With the scent of alcohol on his breath, Qiao Wei Min was sitting crookedly at the dining table cracking peanuts and throwing them into his mouth. “Smack, smack, smack,” he chewed loudly. Meanwhile, Qiao Hong Ye was folding clothes. While wearing a scowl and staring at her delicate hands that had become rough from work, she wondered when the bitter days would end,
The county has numerous girls who dropped out of school early. Although many weren’t too old, there were only some who were able to marry first before being able to continue their education a few years afterward. Today, Qiao Wei Min noticed that his daughter had a strange look in her eye, but he couldn’t quite understand what she was thinking about.
While idling, Qiao Wei Min received a phone call. After a few moments on the phone, a large grin appeared on his face. He instantly barged into his daughter’s room once he hung up.
“Hurry up! I need you to make a few dishes and to quickly get dressed. A few guests are coming soon so you better not embarrass me!” Qiao Wei Min said speedily, leaving no room to argue.
Qiao Hong Ye was a smart girl. She would never resist nor argue against Qiao Wei Min when it was just the both of them at home; she knew what kind of person her father was. She wasn’t Qiao Zi Zhou; she wasn’t a boy, therefore she didn’t have the qualifications to demand Qiao Wei Min to treat her gently.
Qiao Hong Ye obediently followed Qiao Wei Min’s instructions and prepared a few dishes, before changing into the beautiful clothes from before. After a while, the sound of knocking came from their door.
The guest who came was a man around Qiao Wei Min’s age. He was morbidly obese to the point that his fat caused his eyes to become slits, and his face was covered in pockmarks while he had a lewd smile on his face.
Qiao Hong Ye instantly felt a chill crawl down her spine, realizing what Qiao Wei Min planned to do!
Qiao Wei Min was convinced that she was the one who destroyed the Qiao family business, so she was an eyesore to him. Additionally, with her stained reputation, she was becoming more and more unpleasant in Qiao Wei Min’s eyes. If it were not for her cautiousness when dealing with Qiao Wei Min, she may have even been beaten up quite severely several times!
Since before, he had already been saying that she should marry and make a family early since she wasn’t in school anymore. However, he also felt that nobody in town could match up to her, so all along it was just words without action.
But now, the sudden appearance of this man was obviously Qiao Wei Min’s handiwork! Qiao Hong Ye could clearly see the possessiveness in the man’s eyes.
Qiao Wei Min is her birth father! It’s not like she’s a bastard child like Jing Yun Zhao, how could he treat her like this!?
“Hurry, pour your Brother Qian a glass of wine.” Qiao Wei Min rushed.
Brother Qian? This person is old enough to be my dad! Qiao Hong Ye’s feeling of disgust shot through the roof.
The guy with the surname Qian sat down with a look of anticipation and waited for Qiao Hong Ye to serve him. She couldn’t bring herself to sit with the guy, her legs felt heavy as if they were filled with lead, but after dilly-dallying for some time she went to sit with the guy. Just as she took a few steps towards the guy, Surnamed Qian got impatient and pulled her onto his lap.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING!” Qiao Hong Ye shouted after jumping far far away.
“Big Brother Qiao, although your daughter has fair and tender skin, her temper is quite large.” The guy commented, then continued, “This time, a part of the ship’s profit will be yours, but you gotta invest a bit of money first. I guarantee you the returns will be phenomenal. The scenic Ning Xiang County is the best option, the waters are filled with gold. Currently, an innumerable amount of people are waiting to buy our ship’s cargo. Rest assured, this plan won’t fail!”
Everything became clear to Qiao Hong Ye.
Qiao Wei Min was greedy for money to the point of insanity, he would frequently think about investing but then he would lose it all. Now, he was even willing to sell her, his own daughter, just to have a share of profit in this shady proposal!
Although she still received protection from the government as a minor, nobody cared about that in a small town like this. She even had schoolmates who married in middle school!
But what do I do now? How can I go with some old guy when I’m not even the one getting the money!
Qiao Hong Ye was confused and panicking inside her heart while the two men were happily exchanging drinks. Suddenly, she thought of someone who could help her, Jiang Xia!
Jiang Xia was enamoured with her, he would definitely help her through this predicament!
