Upon hearing this, Qiao Mengtong was dumbfounded on the spot.
Zhou Qi, too, had the same expression as Qiao Mengtong, both with eyes widened, staring at Qiao Jing’s phone, scarcely able to believe their eyes.
They claimed they had never seen so much money in their entire lives!
“Tongtong, what—what’s going on? You—you didn’t say she was from the countryside?” Zhou Qi stuttered, barely able to speak.
Qiao Mengtong’s eyes suddenly widened as she looked at Qiao Jing, “I know now! It’s all true! Everything is true!”
“What’s true?” Zhou Qi was completely befuddled.
Qiao Mengtong saw Qiao Jing walking away and didn’t have time to answer her question. She quickly chased after and blocked Qiao Jing’s path.
“Qiao Jing, did you really marry into the Zhan Family? No wonder, I was thinking, how could you afford to come to this kind of place?”
“What—The Zhan Family?!” Zhou Qi was so shocked she almost bit her own tongue.
“There’s nothing to be so surprised about. I heard from my mother before, the old man who adopted Qiao Jing was lucky, having once saved the life of the Zhan Family’s old master when he was young, and for that, the two families arranged a marriage. That countryside old man had neither son nor daughter, so Qiao Jing got lucky. But it’s only for 100 days, and if after 100 days the Zhan Family doesn’t want to keep her, she’ll have to roll out of there,” explained Qiao Mengtong.
“So that’s it.” Zhou Qi suddenly realized, with less shock in her eyes. In her view, it was impossible for the Zhan Family to actually let someone like Qiao Jing, a country bumpkin, into their home.
The reason they agreed to let Qiao Jing into the home temporarily was just because the elites needed face—they couldn’t renege on what they had agreed to, so they temporarily took Qiao Jing in.
“Who would have thought, the Zhan Family would actually give you money to spend. That’s right, although you’re only marrying into the Zhan Family for 100 days, during those 100 days, you are still half a Zhan. As the top elite family in the capital, how could they tolerate you dressing like this, ruining their reputation?”
After saying this, Qiao Mengtong extended her hand in front of Qiao Jing, “I have no money to spend, give me all the rest of your money.”
Qiao Jing glanced indifferently at Qiao Mengtong’s hand and spoke coldly, “Are all the people from the Qiao Family so thick-skinned?”
“What did you say?” Qiao Mengtong glared at Qiao Jing with wide eyes.
“Isn’t it the truth? My money, why should I give it to you? In my view, you’re not even as good as a street beggar, at least they have skills, while you rely on being arrogant and overbearing,” Qiao Jing said sharply.
“You—you—you—” Qiao Mengtong was so angry she couldn’t get her words out.
“Get out of my way.” Qiao Jing’s voice was cold.
“You want me to move, so I’ll move? I refuse to!” Qiao Mengtong’s behavior at this moment perfectly displayed a spoiled rich heiress’s capriciousness, “I’ll tell you, Qiao Jing, although you’re a wild child raised outside by our Qiao Family, the blood running through your veins is from our Qiao Family. Without our Qiao Family, where would you be? So today, you must give me the money!”
Wow! Really shameless! Xu Moqian internally scoffed.
Actually, Xu Moqian had arrived early, but seeing the situation inside, it seemed he didn’t need to help, so he didn’t come in.
He had always known that the Qiao Family’s people had thick skins, but he hadn’t expected them to be this brazen.
Listening to what Qiao Mengtong had just said, it didn’t touch the word “reason” at all.
“You’re really annoying!” Qiao Jing impatiently pushed Qiao Mengtong away.
This time Qiao Jing used strength, directly pushing Qiao Mengtong backward, causing her to finally fall on her bottom.
Qiao Mengtong was wearing a mini skirt, and now in this position, it was quite indecent.
Qiao Mengtong covered her skirt frantically as she scrambled up from the ground, yelling at Qiao Jing.
“Qiao Jing, apologize to me, give me the money! Otherwise, I’ll go back and tell mom and dad that you bullied me. Then you can forget about coming back to our Qiao Family!”
Qiao Mengtong thought her words would make Qiao Jing regret her recent acts, but in fact, Qiao Jing walked away as if she hadn’t heard a thing, her steps never pausing for a moment.
Did she really not care?
Impossible!
Qiao Mengtong immediately dismissed her own thought.
“I know now!”
Qiao Jing must think that after 100 days, she would still be able to stay with the Zhan Family.
As if a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh—thinking just because she’s attractive, she can seduce the one in power of the Zhan Family?
Did she think the upper class would be so shallow?
What wishful thinking!
No, she couldn’t accept this. The Zhan Family must have given her a lot of money, and she needed to go back and tell her parents to ask Qiao Jing for it.
Otherwise, with Qiao Jing’s extravagant spending, it wouldn’t take long before she’d have blown through all the money the Zhan Family had given her.
With this in mind, Qiao Mengtong hurried home.
At the Qiao Family’s.
“What did you say? Qiao Jing really married into the Zhan Family?!” Qiao Licheng exclaimed in surprise.
“Yes, dad, I saw it with my own eyes, Qiao Jing in the pedestrian street mall, she just bought out all the clothes in the store.”
“That girl, such a big matter as marriage, and she did it without uttering a word.” Qiao Licheng said through gritted teeth.
A few years before, when he had learned about Qiao Jing’s engagement to the head of the Zhan Family, he immediately sent the housekeeper to the countryside to fetch Qiao Jing, but she did not appreciate it.
He had no choice but to go there in person when he found the time. But the girl wouldn’t even call him “dad,” let alone let him through the door.
He was so angry at the time!
He had hoped to benefit from Qiao Jing’s marriage into the Zhan Family, but all his plans had fallen through because of her.
“Dad, you go talk to her. After all, you’re her real father, I think she still has a lot of money on her. She will definitely give it to you if you ask,” Qiao Mengtong was now solely focused on Qiao Jing’s money.
With so much money, if she could get a share, she could buy a lot of beautiful clothes, expensive bags, and various luxury goods.
The more she thought about it, the more delighted she became, and the more determined she was to get Qiao Jing’s money!
“Alright! I’ll call her right now.”
Qiao Licheng dialed Qiao Jing’s number, and after about ten seconds, the call connected, followed by a detached female voice coming through the phone.
“Hello? Who is this?”
Hearing this, Qiao Licheng nearly died of anger.
“I’m your father!”
This girl, truly unfilial, always asking him who he is every time he calls her? Doesn’t she know to save his number?
“What’s the matter?” Qiao Jing’s indifferent tone took on a touch of estrangement.
Qiao Licheng was instantly furious.
“Is this how you speak to me? You—” Before Qiao Licheng could finish, Qiao Jing interrupted him.
“Nothing else? Then I’m hanging up.”
“Qiao Jing!” Qiao Licheng suddenly bellowed, “You, transfer the money the Zhan Family gave you to me! What does a girl like you need with so much money? I’ll save it for you.”
“The Zhan Family didn’t give me any money, I’m using my own money.”
“Your own money? Ha! Don’t tell me it’s the money you made from farming. Even with your little patch of land in the countryside, you couldn’t get rich even if you farmed it your whole life! Cut the crap, I still have business to take care of at the company and don’t have time to argue with you, just transfer the money to me—”
After Qiao Licheng had ranted for a while, he realized there was no response from the phone.
He took the phone away from his ear to look and almost spat blood in anger.
The girl had hung up on him at some point.
Truly an unfilial beast!
Qiao Licheng redialed the number, and if it weren’t for the money, he really wouldn’t want to waste another word on Qiao Jing.
The phone connected once again.
This time, before Qiao Licheng could speak, Qiao Jing’s cold, ruthless voice was already speaking.
“If you bother me again, I’ll take the matter of your abandoning me and report it to the police station for the record!”
