Qiao Yaozu ultimately did not say much more, he just got up and left sowhat unhappily.
Wu Lening held Qiao Yue’er’s hand, "Don’t hold a grudge against your dad. He just hopes you and Qiqi can get along well. You are both our daughters, and we will love you equally."
"Mom, what are you talking about? You and Dad raised , I’m grateful beyond asure, how could I hold a grudge?"
Qiao Yue’er said this, but in her heart she already hated this father. If she were his biological daughter, would he be like this?
Qiao Yaozu was in the study making a phone call when the door was pushed open. Hearing the sound, he turned to see his daughter coming in with a bowl of tonic. Seeing he was busy, she sat down to wait.
Qiao Yaozu didn’t say much more to the person on the phone and hung up, looking amiably at his daughter, "You’ve been wronged recently."
"What wrong within a family? Dad, what’s wrong? Are you facing so difficulty? May I talk about it?" Qiao Qiqi asked, blinking her eyes.
"There’s a piece of land in the West Suburb I have been eyeing for a long ti, planning to bid on it. Who knew the Yu Family also took an interest in it. The Yu Family has so connections, so I’m afraid we won’t be able to secure that land."
The Qiao Family seems glamorous, but in reality, they’re walking on thin ice now. Real estate is already starting to decline, and policies are continuously coming out to suppress housing prices. My plan is to acquire this land and build a resort, and then scale back the real estate sector here.
After hearing her father’s troubles, Qiao Qiqi slightly furrowed her brow. She rembered that next year, that area in the West Suburb is going to be redeveloped into a high-speed rail station and reportedly an airport as well. By then, that land will definitely be reclaid, and they won’t offer you a high price, aning whoever buys it gets unlucky.
However, there’s currently no hint of this, so land there still remains desirable.
"Dad, I have a friend with so connections. I learned from him that a high-speed rail station and an airport will be built there next year, which makes it unsuitable for a resort."
Qiao Yaozu looked at his daughter in astonishnt, "Is your information reliable?"
"Very reliable!"
Upon hearing his daughter’s words, Qiao Yaozu’s restless heart finally settled down, "Thank you, my beloved daughter! If it weren’t for your reminder, our family would have suffered a great loss!"
"Dad, have you considered changing industries? Real estate will get harder and harder in the future, why not make a switch now?"
"Alright, Dad will think about it. This ti, with the Yu Family bullying so, I must teach them a lesson!" Qiao Yaozu said with a cold smile.
"Mm-hmm, give them a lesson, but Dad, don’t overwork yourself, have so chicken soup to replenish. Money can never be fully earned." Qiao Qiqi now only wished for her parents’ health.
"Dad understands, you should also go to bed early, don’t stay up late."
Qiao Yaozu laughed, his mood instantly improving. Now he understood what blood ties were all about, Qiao Yue’er never ca to care for him on her own initiative, even before knowing she was adopted, she only ca to him for money.
...
On the day of the sports event, the entire school’s teachers and students gathered on the playground. After the school leaders gave their speeches, the competitions began.
The students looked for their individual events on the list to compete.
Lin Tingyu saw Qiao Qiqi’s na conspicuously listed under both the won’s 3,000 ters and 5,000 ters, she instantly widened her eyes and angrily said, "Who ssed with this? Qiqi didn’t register for any event!"
