Qiao Dalin was interrupted by her sister and felt a bit displeased. She always looked down on this sister, and although they were biological sisters, they hardly ever interacted.
"Brother, I heard you’re developing a new real estate project again? Can you give your sister a discount? I want to buy a unit," Qiao Xiaoling, who was an enthusiastic real estate buyer, said. She had bought quite a few properties over the years, especially since having a brother in real estate was a beneficial connection.
"Where do I have a new project? Those were developed the year before last. Didn’t I give you a 50% discount on a unit?" Qiao Yaozu said.
Qiao Jiezhe and Qiao Qiqi exchanged glances, amazed. Wow, a 50% discount on a house! That’s a million! Dad is really generous.
"Oh, I already sold that unit and made quite a bit, but you know, I invested with my friends, and lately, money is tight. Your nephew is about to study abroad, and that’s a million a year. Brother, as an uncle, don’t you think...?" Qiao Xiaoling laughed while rubbing two fingers together, clearly hinting.
More money!
"..." Qiao Yaozu was speechless as he glanced at his own sister and ignored her comnt.
Qiao Qiqi knew her little aunt’s ways; even if you ignored her, she wouldn’t get angry. She would keep pestering you until you had no choice but to agree.
"Brother, where did you buy this jade jewelry set you got for your wife and daughter? The quality is so good; it must have cost a lot. You’re really willing to spend on them."
Qiao Dalin kept staring at the jade on her sister-in-law’s neck, eyes gleaming. With jade of that quality, she would be quite distinguished even in the Capital City!
Old Mrs. Qiao was deeply pained hearing this. In her opinion, all her second son’s money was hers! And now, it’s being spent on those two little tramps!
"This isn’t sothing I bought for them. Qiqi is lending it to us to wear temporarily," Qiao Yaozu explained truthfully.
Qiao Dalin obviously didn’t believe it. "Brother, when did you beco so stingy? I’m not asking for yours, just curious."
"I’m telling the truth. Seriously, I didn’t buy them. Your brother here is just a simple man; how would I know how to buy such things?" Qiao Yaozu replied helplessly.
Qiao Dalin looked at Qiao Qiqi, sizing her up. She had to admit her niece did have an extraordinary aura. "Qiqi, tell your aunt, where did you get this?"
"Aunt, I’ve been into gambling on stones recently, and I got a few good ones. The set our family is wearing ca from one of those stones," Qiao Qiqi explained.
Qiao Dalin looked at this niece with suspicion, not knowing whether to believe her or not. "Did you really gamble it out yourself? What else did you get?"
"Quite a lot, actually. There’s one piece that’s even better than this. If you want, I can give you a 99% discount," Qiao Qiqi said generously.
Qiao Dalin’s face imdiately darkened. "Qiqi, I’m your own aunt! You could just give a set."
Qiao Jiezhe almost jumped up in anger upon hearing his aunt’s shalessness, but Qiao Qiqi held him down. She wasn’t upset at all and smiled as she said, "Aunt, you’re asking to give you sothing, but today is my birthday. What gift did you bring ?"
Qiao Dalin’s face flashed with embarrassnt. "Of course, I prepared a gift for you, but I left it at the hotel, didn’t bring it with ."
