Qiao Chen was used to being arrogant.
She had always been envied by everyone in Rao City.
She was the school belle of First High School, had good grades, and had a boyfriend from a prestigious family.
Later on, He Yujuan used the Tang family’s connections so that Qiao Chen could be granted guaranteed admission to Ren Yi. At that time, Qiao Chen was smug and proud. She never thought that she would have such a day.
When did everything start to change?
Everything started that day when their entire family happily kicked Qiao Nian out of the house…
At this moment, Shen Qiongzhi’s eyes were filled with Qiao Chen’s future. She couldn’t care less about her memories. Her face was filled with bitterness as tears streamed down her face. She wiped them carelessly, and the foundation and eyeliner on her face were mixed together. Looking terrible, she didn’t even notice how sorry she looked at this moment. She looked at the girl in front of her with a pleading expression and reached out to grab her, but was afraid that if she angered Qiao Nian, Qiao Chen would end up even worse.
Shen Qiongzhi could only play the gentle card.
“Nian Nian, Mom’s begging you, okay? It’s all my fault. I’ll kneel down for you. I’ll do anything as long as you forgive Chen Chen.”
She made a move as if to drop to her knees.
He Yujuan grabbed her and scolded her angrily. “What are you doing? We only kneel to the heavens, the earth, and our elders. I’ve never heard of parents kneeling to their children!”
“But what will happen to Chen Chen if I don’t kneel?” Shen Qiongzhi covered her face and sobbed. “My Chen Chen was supposed to be admitted to a famous school. She was supposed to sign up for Qing University like the other students today. Others have already come to school, but she can only stay at home and cry. I’m really afraid that she’ll take things too hard. How will I live if anything happens to her?”
How could He Yujuan not feel uncomfortable? She pulled a long face and glared fiercely at the unmoved girl. She pounded her chest and asked angrily, “Qiao Nian, don’t you have a heart? Your mother is crying like this. Don’t you feel guilty at all?”
Qiao Nian raised her hand in frustration and pressed down on the brim of her baseball cap. Then, she took out her cell phone to take a look.
11:15 PM.
She narrowed her eyes and said to the furious He Yujuan, “You have two minutes.”
He Yujuan couldn’t breathe and almost fainted.
She pointed a finger to the girl’s nose, wanting to crush it. “Do you dislike your sister so much that you won’t let her go?”
Qiao Nian put down her phone and said, “I’ve said it before. Qiao Chen is an adult. Adults should bear the consequences of their actions.”
“Ha! What consequences? Repeating a year in school is not considered a consequence? You won’t stop until she goes to jail?”
He Yujuan was furious. She pounded her chest and said, “I took a plane from thousands of miles away. I’m not asking you to do much, but you refuse to even agree to sign a letter of understanding. Your conscience has been devoured by a dog! I’m already so old, don’t you know how to respect the old?”
Qiao Nian narrowed her eyes coldly and said impatiently, “Oh, if I don’t understand that basic respect, it just means that the Qiao family taught me well.”
He Yujuan was speechless.
Standing casually, Qiao Nian smiled and said, “I learned well because the Qiao family taught me well, didn’t I?”
He Yujuan’s expression was not only ugly now, but also long. She was about to die of anger. “Aren’t you afraid of retribution?”
Qiao Nian did not answer. Just then, her cell phone vibrated with a message.
