Chapter 15 - ~Xiao Qin's Mom~
Xiao Long's jaw hardened at Qiao Xin's challenging words. So this was the first time, huh, this was the first time he had been rejected outright by a woman, and that woman was Qiao Xin?
Xiao Long was vengeful, and he really couldn't accept Qiao Xin's rejection of him. However, he had to suppress his anger. Because if he didn't, he was afraid that his grandfather would get even more ill because he knew that Qiao Xin had refused his request for marriage.
So, what should Xiao Long do to solve all this? Or should he tell Qiao Xin the truth if he had to ask Qiao Xin to marry him? Because he only wanted to make his grandfather happy in his grandfather's last moments.
"I'll ask you once because I'm not a beggar. Especially begging for a marriage offer for you. You certainly know who I am. I am the owner of the Han Corporation which even all the women in this world are eager to marry. Aren't you too arrogant to refuse this marriage offer? ? You have rejected what you deserved, Miss Liu. And I assure you that you will be truly sorry for this," Xiao Long said, trying to make Qiao Xin regret.
"Then, if it's true that all the women in this world really want you, why should you bother asking me to marry you? Isn't this ridiculous, Mr. Han? You can marry those women who love you. But not me. Sorry, though. you are rich, even though you are a very respected Young Master in this country. But in my eyes, you are nothing more than a cowardly man who usually hides behind the power of your family. Can you think if you will stand alone without bearing the name 'Han' I'm sure even the ants will never care about you? And you know the reason why women in this world want you so much? Because what they want is your treasure. Nothing more, Mr. Han,"
Hearing the satire from Qiao Xin, Xiao Long's jaw hardened. Both his hands clenched tightly at Qiao Xin's words. He had no idea that Qiao Xin's words would slap his heart, mock him and make his hatred grow even more. He hated Qiao Xin so much, hated it so much.
After that, Xiao Long decided to leave Qiao Xin's room, and then he paused for a moment in front of the door. He was baffled. What should he do now? His grandfather had no time, and how could he grant his grandfather's last wish. Seeing his grandfather cry is the thing that Xiao Long hates the most. Until then, Xiao Long saw a nurse come to give Qiao Xin a cell phone.
"Miss Liu, do you still need a cell phone?" asked a nurse, Xiao Long frowned. He then stood behind the door so that he could hear Qiao Xin's conversation with the nurse.
"May I borrow it?" Qiao Xin asked in the end. The nurse smiled and then nodded.
"Go ahead, Miss Liu. Use as much as you want. I'll go first, Miss Liu. I'll be back later with some medicine for you."
"Thank you, Miss,"
Qiao Xin immediately contacted someone after the nurse left.
Xiao Long also tried to hide so that he would not be seen by the nurse who came out, and then he looked at Qiao Xin. He was pretty curious about who Qiao Xin would call until she needed a cellphone.
And not long after that, Qiao Xin smiled as if who had picked up the call from the person she was screaming.
"Xixin, how are you? I'm your sister Qiao Xin. I borrowed a friend's cell phone because my phone battery ran out and I forgot to bring a charger to work. I suddenly missed you and Mom, so I called you. Are you off school today? How are you doing? your school, is everything okay? You're going to that university you want? You can send me the details of the Xixin fees for me okay?"
Xiao Long frowned again. Qiao Xin's voice was quite loud, so he didn't need to focus his hearing because, with the door open, the conversation sounded very real.
"Yes, I will do my best. Trust me," Qiao Xin said later. Her mouth trembled. She wanted to say that even if she had stopped working, it was complicated.
"Sister Qiao Xin, Mom is in a bad state right now. I took a week off from school. The money you sent us last month has run out, even I have mortgaged the house certificate for Mom's medical expenses. Can you borrow your best friend again to take the house certificate? And can you immediately send money to me for other purposes? Shouldn't you be on payday soon, Sis? I'm really looking forward to that, "
"W... what? Mother's condition is bad again? Now how is she, Xixin? Are you okay? Oh my God, how did this happen? You don't have to worry about money, later when I receive my salary, I will send it to you. And the matter of the amount of money you need to redeem the house certificate, tell me, then I will find it immediately. You and Mom don't ever worry about money and medical expenses, Mom, yes. I promise I will work hard for you. As long as you can live better, as long as you can be happy. Then I will do anything for it,"
"Okay, Sis. Until here first. I'll take care of some other things."
"Yeah, I'll call you later."
After disconnecting her sister's phone, Qiao Xin immediately covered her face with her hands. She didn't know where else to find the money for her mother and sister. She's baffled, she's out of work, and she can't even get a penny. Qiao Xin didn't even know what to do for her life.
Meanwhile, Xiao Long, who overheard all the conversation, seemed to have an idea to get Qiao Xin to agree to his grandfather's request. Yes, a vision and a little pressure and everything will go smoothly. Xiao Long then decided to leave from there.
