Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Beg you to beg Lu Lingche once again
“Qiao Haidong, what did you say before?”
Now that Qiao Yin had eaten and regained her energy, she had plenty of strength to mock him: “You said you didn’t need my help, you didn’t need me at all, you had your good niece to help you out. Now she is set to meet Lu Lingche’s parents, yet she can’t help you? Did she forget you after climbing to new heights? Or has she failed to climb at all, and it’s all just a bluff you put on to disgust me?”
Confronted with her scorn and mockery, Qiao Haidong looked both sorry and guilty: “I didn’t mean to make you sick. How could I do that to my own daughter? I too was deceived by Qiao Lainan and thought she could help, but she turned out to be incompetent.”
“It’s all father’s fault, please forgive me this once. Look, we’re a family after all. If you’re not considering my predicament, at least think of Jiasen’s.”
“He is so focused on making money that he even ran into some killer organization. Why? Because I went bankrupt and our home became so poor that it forced the child to this extent!”
“The herbs I bought were paid for with a loan. If they don’t sell, the debts I owe will only increase. If Jiasen learns about this, he’ll definitely be upset with me and might turn back to that killer organization. Do you want him to go down that dark path?”
Qiao Yin sneered: “Didn’t you say before that Jiasen joined the killer organization because of me? So why is it now because of you?”
“When he wasn’t back, you would bring Jiang Huiru to condemn me every day, saying that I was the one who ruined Jiasen and forced me to seek Lu Lingche’s help.”
“I did ask Lu Lingche to bring Jiasen back. Now you’ve changed your story and want me to plead with Lu Lingche again?”
“What do you think I am? A Bodhisattva you can pray to for wishes?”
“Do you think Lu Lingche is so easy to ask? Plus, you harbored ulterior motives and refused to admit to him that you took the five million abortion fee from Madam Lu. You connived with Madam Lu and intentionally misled him, saying that I took the money to make him hate me.”
“Now he does dislike me, you’ve succeeded, and even if I go to him now, it’s useless!”
A worried Qiao Haidong rubbed his hands: “You misunderstood, I didn’t mislead him. It was all Madam Lu’s idea. She thought Lu Lingche liked you too much and intentionally caused trouble to separate you two, it’s not my fault!”
Qiao Yin let out a mocking laugh: “Just to trick me into pleading with Lu Lingche, you’re willing to talk nonsense! Madam Lu said to my face that Lu Lingche disliked me, that he fancied Lan Yuyi, but when it gets to you, it’s changed to Lu Lingche liking me too much? That’s hilarious!”
“I’m not talking nonsense!”
Fearing she wouldn’t help, a desperate Qiao Haidong shook his head: “It’s true! Madam Lu really did say that Lu Lingche likes you, only you can get him to help!”
“Qiao Haidong, do you think because you’re brainless, I am too, and that I can be easily fooled? If Lu Lingche likes me, would he divorce me?”
Qiao Yin said coldly: “Even if he does like me, I wouldn’t help you. You blindly stockpiled medicinal herbs. You reap what you sow when it comes to making or losing money!”
“This is not about helping me, but helping Jiasen!”
Qiao Haidong was extremely anxious: “I saw the weather forecast said there’s going to be heavy rain these two days. If the herbs are not sold soon, they’ll all mold and rot in the warehouse!”
“Then why don’t you find a better warehouse and keep it dry?”
“No, the herbs have already started to mold!”
Mentioning this, Qiao Haidong was very angry: “The person who sold me the herbs is such a shameless fraud. He showed me the good herbs on the surface, who knew that the ones inside were all rotten and moldy! I’ve been tricked!”
