CHAPTER 624: CHAPTER 372: UPROAR (2)

But in fact, it’s quite the opposite. You’re the one trying to sabotage someone else’s relationship and even using such despicable means to frame them. If you were Luo Ye, what would you do?

Dad has considered asking for help on your behalf, but whether we make it public or not, the scandal is unavoidable.

The so-called ’keeping it under wraps’ is just wishful thinking on your part. Luo Ye is the Wen Family’s granddaughter and the Ye Family’s granddaughter-in-law. Do you think they would let Luo Ye take the fall for this?

Begging for help will not change the outcome; it will only make the Qiao Family look bad. Besides, Dad believes that since you’ve done it, you have to take responsibility. Otherwise, you’ll never learn your lesson. This time, going abroad might resolve it, but what about next time? Dad doesn’t even want to think about it.

Qiao Xiaowan threw herself in front of Qiao Aimin, shaking his shoulders: "It’s different, Dad. Making it public and not is different. If we don’t make it public, even if people know, they won’t dare to face me. But if we do, it’s like labelling my forehead.

Dad, I know I was wrong. I will be more careful in the future. Dad, I don’t want to stay abroad forever. Do you really want to lose your daughter?"

"Xiao Wan, you still don’t realize your mistake..." Qiao Aimin looked up, trying hard to stop tears from falling. Of course, he feels terrible about his daughter ending up like this.

The education he received and his moral standards... He and Lian Qinghua are simply people from two different worlds; otherwise, he wouldn’t have married her and wouldn’t have hurt her.

If his marriage to Lian Qinghua was a tragedy, then his daughter is the victim of that tragedy. Due to his general indifference with Lian Qinghua, all her attention went to their daughter, and with the spoilage from Lian Qinghua’s arrogant father, Xiao Wan always got whatever she wanted.

By the time he realized there was a problem with his daughter’s character, it was too late. Trying to change Xiao Wan was a massive undertaking, and Lian Qinghua would not allow it.

But Xiao Wan is his flesh and blood, and he is helpless as he watches her stray further down the wrong path.

When the scandal broke, the first thought he and his father had was that their daughter might have trapped herself. It wasn’t that they didn’t feel sorry for her, but they knew her too well.

Since childhood, she got whatever she wanted, Ye Xuan was the only exception. With her personality, how could she just give up?

The father and son agreed that they cannot cover this up; otherwise, Xiao Wan would become more lawless in the future, possibly turning into another Lian Qinghua. But there won’t be a second Qiao Aimin in this world!

Lian Qinghua, who had been coldly observing, let out a heavy "hmpf", dialed a number on the phone, and then handed it to Qiao Aimin: "You have to deal with this, whether you like it or not!"

"Hello? Who is this?" Qiao Dongsong’s voice came from the other end of the line.

Qiao Aimin quickly took the phone, "Dad, it’s nothing, Lian Qinghua is just being hysterical."

"Who is being hysterical?" Lian Qinghua snatched the phone back: "Dad, you must plead for Xiao Wan, or she will be ruined!"

"Qinghua, Aimin’s decision is my decision. That’s that." Qiao Dongsong sighed heavily and hung up the phone.

"I always knew it would be useless to ask him..." Lian Qinghua threw the phone on the ground forcefully: "Don’t think I don’t know why your dad won’t plead for us, it’s just because he’s afraid of losing face. I don’t understand what’s more important: his old face that’s close to the grave, or Xiao Wan’s life that’s just beginning..."

"Slap!"

A loud slap landed on Lian Qinghua’s face, leaving behind a clear print of five fingers.

"You can insult me, but you must respect my dad!" Qiao Aimin enunciated firmly.

"Fine, fine, Qiao Aimin, you’ve grown a backbone." Lian Qinghua was about to rush at him but halted sharply when she caught Qiao Aimin’s angry gaze, remembering Feng Tianzhi’s kick. She held back and pointed at Qiao Aimin: "Don’t forget, Qiao Family got where it is today thanks to Lian Family’s power. I, I am divorcing you! The Lian Family will withdraw all their support for the Qiao Family, and I want to see what you will do!"

"Mom..." Qiao Xiaowan desperately clung to her: "Mom, I’m willing to go abroad, really, I’m willing to stay with Grandpa, if you miss me, just come to see me. There’s no need to divorce Dad because of me."

"Xiao Wan, you are everything to me. If you can’t stay here, what’s the point of staying with him? Over the years, has he ever had me in his heart?

He’s always been thinking about that vixen. I might as well let him go to her. I want to see if that vixen can help the Qiao Family revive its fortunes!"

Qiao Aimin looked at her seriously: "Lian Qinghua, do you really want a divorce?"

"How’s that? You think I’m joking, trying to scare you?" Lian Qinghua sneered: "Scared now? Too late. That slap of yours just wiped away more than twenty years of our marriage.

Of course, there might be room for negotiation. Kneel down and beg me, and just as long as you beg, we can let bygones be bygones. Of course, there’s one more condition, settle this mess for Xiao Wan."
