Chapter 47

"I'm not doing anything."

Qiao Weidong subconsciously stepped back a few paces, distancing himself from He Chen, clearly knowing his ex-wife very well.

"Not doing anything?" Song Qian said angrily: "Didn't you see what just happened? Is this how you act as a father?

What kind of father could tolerate such a thing?

Not to mention laughing and chatting with the culprit!

I really wasn't wrong; you two are birds of a feather!

You aren't fit to be Yingzi's father!"

"I wasn't laughing." Qiao Weidong felt so aggrieved: "Yingzi is in this state, how could I possibly laugh!"

In front of his daughter, he couldn't speak of the things he had just discussed with He Chen, lest he further provoke his daughter to think in that direction.

When talking about these things, he felt terrible; how could he possibly laugh?

"Mom! Stop it!" Seeing that her father and He Chen were both being implicated by her mother's displaced anger, Qiao Yingzi hurriedly pulled her mother to stop her from talking.

However, how could she really persuade Song Qian, who was already worked up?

"I want to say it! I must say it!" Song Qian said angrily: "He is simply not a qualified father! All these years he hasn't fulfilled his responsibilities as a father. Now that you're in your third year of high school, he suddenly starts fawning over you, only caring about pleasing you, and he can even pretend not to see something that concerns your whole life. He doesn't fulfill his duties as a father at all. What's the point of having a father like this? It would be better not to have one at all, and be done with it!"

"Have I not wanted to fulfill my duties as a father all these years? I've wanted to so much, but you didn't give me the chance!" Qiao Weidong said aggrievedly: "I also do my best to love Yingzi, what else do you want me to do?"

"You love Yingzi?" Song Qian sneered: "If you loved Yingzi, would you be finding one little girlfriend after another? If you really loved Yingzi, you should have slapped this bastard who is seducing your daughter, who is in her third year of high school and needs to put her heart and soul into her future!"

"Mom!!!" Hearing her mother say increasingly excessive things, as if she had fallen back into her previous manic state, Qiao Yingzi felt unable to bear it again.

"I already told you, this has nothing to do with He Chen. I didn't have anything going on with him at all; I just wanted to make you angry. Do you have to force me to be with him for you to be happy?"

"Uncle Qiao, do it!" He Chen suddenly said, attracting the attention of the three members of the Qiao family.

"What?" Qiao Weidong and Qiao Yingzi were both stunned, looking at He Chen in confusion. Song Qian was also taken aback, but then she became even more convinced that He Chen wanted to seduce her precious daughter, and for that, he was even willing to use a bitter-meat trick.

How hateful!

But she would enjoy it first; she had long found He Chen unpleasant, and after that scene just now, she now wished she could slap He Chen herself.

"Qiao Weidong, he asked for it himself, why aren't you doing it!"

"Kid, are you serious?" Qiao Weidong secretly gave He Chen a look, signaling him to leave quickly.

"Of course I'm serious!" He Chen laughed: "If you really love Qiao Yingzi, you should indeed slap her!

But not me, but your ex-wife, whose brain has problems!

Give her a hard slap and see if you can slap her awake; that would be a great thing for you, for her, and for Qiao Yingzi!

If that doesn't work, then slap her a few more times!

Don't look at me with such a surprised expression!

Have you forgotten what I told you? Your ex-wife, whose brain has problems and whose emotions are unstable, is driving your daughter crazy!

Don't give me that bullshit about how everything she does is actually for Qiao Yingzi's own good!

Stop acting like a hypocrite!

Don't even mention that Qiao Yingzi's grades are already among the best, and normal studying is enough for her to get into her dream university and dream major.

Even if she really made a mistake and didn't do as ideally as expected, so what?

Uncle Qiao has a net worth of hundreds of millions, and she herself has four or five school-district houses in the capital. What kind of family fortune is Qiao Yingzi, this only daughter, inheriting?

An ordinary person's top student couldn't earn that much in a lifetime of struggle!

Does Qiao Yingzi need to struggle so desperately?

She doesn't need to at all!

Then who needs to?

Either it's a real idiot!

A complete idiot who doesn't understand the situation, has no brain, and is unhappy!

Or it's someone whose conscience is rotten, acting like a hypocrite, putting on a show for others to see, wanting ordinary people to feel that children from wealthy families are just as desperate, or even more desperate, under immense pressure, and always equally unhappy.

So everything they get is deserved.

But in fact, it's all bullshit!

How can there be so many desperate second-generation kids?

If they were born in Rome and were each so excellent, and each worked so desperately hard, then Rome wouldn't have fallen, there wouldn't be so many spendthrifts, dynasties wouldn't fall after two generations, wealth wouldn't fail to pass the third generation, the virtue of a gentleman wouldn't be cut off after five generations, and dynasties wouldn't be unable to escape the historical cycle of destruction every one or two hundred years!

Isn't it all because they were born into such a wealthy family that they don't need to work that hard, it's impossible for them to work that hard, and they certainly wouldn't force their own child, their only daughter, to death just for a mere college entrance exam!

Those who really do this are either evil or stupid!

Which kind do you think your ex-wife is?"

"He Chen, stop it." Hearing He Chen scold her so harshly, Qiao Yingzi immediately felt sorry for her mother.

This scolding was too harsh.

It hurt her mother too much!

"I'm scolding her for her own good, and even more for your good!" He Chen didn't give Qiao Yingzi any face, glanced at the livid Song Qian, and continued to look at Qiao Weidong, who was also at a loss from this harsh scolding.

"Uncle Qiao, didn't you ask me what to do? Then I'll tell you: listen to her, and now either go over and give her a slap, or more slaps, to wake up her stupid brain!

Or file a lawsuit directly to take back Qiao Yingzi's custody from her, and don't let her continue to torment your precious daughter all day long!"

"How dare you!!!" In Song Qian's scream, anger and fear were mixed.

"Don't get excited, I won't do it." Qiao Weidong persuaded with a bitter smile.

"As expected." He Chen wasn't surprised at all, nodding: "Besides, filing for custody or anything like that has no meaning; by the time the lawsuit officially starts, Qiao Yingzi will already be an adult.

Since you can't bear to do it, then there's one last trick: give her, this 'cat lady' who will likely have no children in the future if she continues to torment herself, another child!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them were all stunned.

Qiao Yingzi's eyes flickered, carrying a trace of indescribable complex emotions—there was instinctive rejection, surprise, and anticipation.

If having a younger brother or sister could restore her broken family, she would be very willing.

Qiao Weidong's mouth twitched, but he didn't refuse outright.

Although he had a younger and prettier little girlfriend, and the little girlfriend was already dying to marry him immediately and have an even cuter daughter, he was unwilling in his heart.

Because he felt this was a betrayal of his precious daughter.

And deep down, he still had thoughts of remarrying his ex-wife.

If he had another younger brother or sister of the same father and mother with his ex-wife for his daughter, and the family was reunited, then it wouldn't count as a betrayal of his daughter.

However, Song Qian couldn't possibly accept it.

Not to mention that she didn't have this intention now, even if it really touched the hidden desires deep in her heart, these words were proposed by He Chen, who was seducing her daughter and calling her either evil or stupid, so she could absolutely not agree.
