Chapter 21 - ~Hate Each Other~
"Alright, who cares and doesn't care here? Who gains or loses, doesn't all of that matter anymore? You said if I agreed to marry you because I was after your wealth and rich family position then go ahead. I don't care at all. To you I was a bad person from the first time we met, didn't I? So, what's the deal about that. To you I am not human, I am not a woman. But I am a rotten scum that interferes with your view and your life. However, Young Mr. Han, I want to set one thing straight so you don't feel like what I say will blow your head. Again, this marriage is also very profitable for you. Because with this marriage, you can still see your grandfather live longer, and be happier. Isn't that much more valuable, and expensive than the money you have? And in the end, rather than your treasure, aren't you much indebted to me? So I hope we are professional, never blame, and offend. Especially demeaning me because I'm a poor person. Because Grandpa Han's life is far more valuable than all the treasures you have," Xiao Long seemed to be slapped by Qiao Xin's words. Xiao Long had no idea that Qiao Xin would say such a long and vicious thing. A thought came out of all the logic in Xiao Long's brain, thus making Xiao Long feel that what Qiao Xin said was accurate and reasonable. "Oh yes, Young Mr. Han, there is one more thing I would like to tell you. I will write in great detail the points of what we should, and should not do as a condition of mine. So excuse me."
Qiao Xin immediately walked away. Even though her legs felt weak and helpless, she kept trying to walk. In front of Xiao Long, she must not appear weak, she must not appear pitiful, and she must not appear to be crying. Qiao Xin had to be the most challenging, least caring, and most logical person. So that she could protect herself, as well as her pride, from the bad boy named Xiao Long. Yes, to Qiao Xin, Xiao Long was like the most despised and hated man in the world. Of course, after her hatred for her ex-lover.
After a long conversation, Qiao Xin finally returned to Xiao Chuan's inpatient room. Qiao Xin wants to meet Xiao Chuan to give news of her decision to agree to this matchmaking. An arranged marriage might destroy her, but at least it would save someone's life. Qiao Xin would never mind if her future had to be ruined. Because in reality, her lot has long been wasted with her ex-lover.
Moreover, at least Qiao Xin could help two people. The first is Xiao Chuan for his slump in wanting his grandson to marry, and the second is her family. Qiao Xin plans to use the money for her family. She sends her to the village and tells her sister to take her house papers and pay off all her family's debts. Qiao Xin didn't care anymore, even though she got the money by selling herself though. As long as she earns money, as long as her family doesn't get chased by bank lenders, she will never be a problem. Because she is the first child, she must replace her father's role in becoming the breadwinner of her family and providing for all her family needs. Qiao Xin always kept that in her mind to feel depressed and think this world was unfair to her.
"Grandpa Han," Qiao Xin greeted. She walked over to Xiao Chuan after she entered the room. Fortunately, the nurse said Xiao Chuan was awake, and Xiao Chuan was looking for his grandson. That was why Qiao Xin had ventured in. Moreover, what Qiao Xin knew, Xiao Chuan looked alone. Whereas earlier it was clear, there was a husband and wife, which Qiao Xin guessed were Xiao Long's parents were here as well. "How are you, Grandpa Han, well?" Qiao Xin asked.
Receiving a sweet and warm greeting from Qiao Xin, Xiao Chuan smiled. Then he told Qiao Xin to sit beside him.
"Miss Liu, come here and have a seat. I'm really really lonely right now," Xiao Chuan replied. Qiao Xin also looked down. She tightly gripped Xiao Chuan's hand, then she kissed it and cried silently. Xiao Chuan, who knew about it, immediately stroked Qiao Xin's shoulder, trying to calm Qiao Xin so that the young woman wouldn't cry anymore. "Miss Liu, is something wrong? Calm down, and wipe away your tears. Tell me everything the same as usual. I will definitely listen to your complaints very patiently."
"Will Grandpa Han really listen to my story?" Qiao Xin asked in the end. Xiao Chuan nodded his head.
"Sure, I will listen to whatever your problem is. Now tell me."
Qiao Xin seemed to be silent for a moment, and then she took a deep breath. Qiao Xin couldn't possibly tell if she was apprehensive about Xiao Chuan. Because she thought it was inappropriate, and Qiao Xin didn't want Xiao Chuan to remember her terrible illness again.
"The past few days, I've been really in a bad state, Grandpa. I don't know what happened to me, it's just that I feel that the whole sky has fallen and is on my shoulders for real." Qiao Xin lowered her face again, and then she seemed to wipe her tears violently. "I have been fired from the company I started with my best friend, Grandpa. It's true that I'm not the owner of the company, I'm not the director or anything like that. I don't own any stock there either. But for me, the company is my life. I saw the company grow from a small company to a very large company. But in fact, everything immediately changed just because of a very trivial thing, an ambition that even made a friend forget, a friend who accompanied him from below, a friend who embraced him and continued to fight together with him. Because all he knew now was, being able to work with someone who made his company skyrocket was his main goal now. Even though the reward for that is, I should be fired from the company itself. Doesn't Grandpa Han feel that I'm being made a friend of mine as a sacrifice?"
