Chapter 261: Fainting
"Also, in the company's near-bankruptcy period, we couldn't pay salaries. There were protests by the workers at the pharmaceutical factory. It was Lu Lingche who paid them, which put a stop to the protest."
"Nothing else. Do you think Lu Lingche is easy to talk to? That he would help me with everything? Do you know how many times I had to plead before he agreed to help!"
Qiao Yin's mind was now numb: "Whose name did you plead in?"
Qiao Haidong puts up a righteous face: "Of course, in your name. Who else then? Would it work if I begged him in my name? You're his woman. If there is trouble in our family, who else but him will settle it?"
Qiao Yin felt dizzy with a severe discomfort in her chest.
What on earth did her father do behind her back with Lu Lingche?!
No wonder Lu Lingche looked down on her. No wonder Madam Lu despised her. Unbeknownst to her, her pride had long been trampled under the feet of her own father.
She forced herself to stand, her eyes red with anger as she stared at Qiao Haidong: "You let Lu Lingche help you with these things, why didn't you ever tell me!"
"You have been bothering Lu Lingche in my name, you know what he thinks of me? He thinks I'm a gold-digger!"
"Why have you never considered me? While other fathers adore their daughters, you? You just take advantage of me. You only care about money, not family!"
Qiao Haidong, with a livid face, cried out angrily: "Don't pin me down with such labels! Lu Lingche is my son-in-law; why can't I ask him for help? What do you mean 'bothering' him? He is supposed to help his father-in-law, that's his duty!"
"Then why did you demand a dowry of twenty million from him? Why have you never told me about this money!"
"Am I not telling you now? What the hell do you want to do, want to get the twenty million back? I tell you, it's impossible! Dowry is the money son-in-law should pay to his in-laws and you have no part in it!"
Qiao Yin's tear drops fell one by one, her voice was especially mournful: "So, are you selling your daughter? I got married, you didn't give a single penny as a dowry, instead, you got twenty million. Do you think you're smart with your calculations?!"
"How am I selling my daughter?!"
Qiao Haidong yelled angrily: "I raised you to be so good, you marry into someone else's family, shouldn't I be paid? You don't even have a filial piety, you don't know to help family pay debts, You're here cursing me? Get out! I forbid you from ever stepping into this house again!"
"You never raised me! You never gave me a single penny!"
"Get out! I disown you as my daughter, get out at once!"
As Qiao Yin listened to his roar, she suddenly felt her hearing was becoming distant, and her vision blurred.
She wanted to retch, but nothing came up.
She felt terrible.
She could no longer hold herself up.
Just before passing out, she saw Qiao Jiasen rushing down the stairs to her side in panic, catching her as she was about to fall.
She relaxed, plunging into the darkness.
At least, she could rely upon Qiao Jiasen.
She wouldn't have to worry about being sold by Qiao Haidong while she fainted here.
Qiao Jiasen held her in his arms, a stern look on his face and a fury underlying his voice: "Quick, take her to the hospital! Dad, what are you standing there gaping at, get the car ready!"
Qiao Haidong was utterly indifferent to Qiao Yin. He thought his son was making a fuss out of nothing: "What for? She won't die. Going to the hospital would cost money! Just let her lie on the sofa, she will regain consciousness after a while."
Qiao Jiasen bellowed: "Couldn't you see how pale she was! I said we are going to the hospital and we are going there right now, hurry up!"
Finally, having no other choice against his son's force, Qiao Haidong agreed to drive: "Well, let's go then!"
Qiao Jiasen carried Qiao Yin onto the car. Qiao Lainan also got on: "Let me come along. At least there'll be one more person to take care of my cousin."
Twenty minutes later, they reached the hospital.
Qiao Yin was rushed to the emergency room.
A few minutes later, the doctor emerged: "Where's Qiao Yin's family?"
Qiao Jiasen immediately stepped forward: "I am."
"What relation do you have with her?"
"I am her brother."
"Oh, your sister is not in any danger."
"Then why did she faint?"
"She's pregnant."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
