Chapter 1188 - Goodbye, Second Brother (8)

Chapter 1188: Goodbye, Second Brother (8)
She had worked so hard for something she had deeply believed in for eight years, and her hopes had all collapsed in that moment. She felt as though her whole life had been a joke.
Full of grievance, she cried heart-wrenchingly.
As she was crying, she suddenly heard a voice behind her,
Qiao Lian, now you know who Second Brother likes the most?

Qiao Lian froze and turned around. She saw Qiao Yiyi’s silhouette through her tears.
Qiao Yiyi stood there and said haughtily,
Qiao Lian, I’ll have you know that Second Brother and I are getting married soon. We are a match made in heaven. You and he will never be together!


Second Brother ultimately chose me and his father.


Qiao Lian, I’ll have you know that in the past I had to live in your shadow. Both of us are granddaughters of Grandad, so why were you the favorite? Was I born with a lower status? Just because your father was born two years before mine? I’m telling you now, I will not just accept this.


I’ve worked hard for eight years and finally, Second Brother is taking a second look at me. Now I’m going to be Mrs. Lu. Hahaha, I’ve finally succeeded!

Qiao Lian’s nails dug into the palms of her hands.
She had had all her hopes destroyed because of the destruction of the account book, so she didn’t register any of Qiao Yiyi’s words in that instant.
She could only stare at Qiao Yiyi and say with an icy smile,
Qiao Yiyi, did your father betray the Qiao family for all of this?

This was just too ridiculous to conceive.
When the Qiao family was doing well, Qiao Zhigang was, at the very least, brother of the head of the family and Qiao Yiyi, at the very least, would have had the Qiao family to rely on after getting married, but now…

The most important thing in a political marriage is family. Do you think that a woman who marries into the Lu family without family support can survive?


Qiao Yiyi, you are so foolish. If I were you, I’d never have handed the account book to him, never. I’d have kept the account book as leverage against him forever. Like this, at the very least, he’d never mistreat me.

These words stunned Qiao Yiyi. She widened her eyes.
She remembered what her father had said—that she must never give the account book to Lu Nanze.
But still, she had.
Because the marriage had been announced. How could Second Brother not fulfill the marriage arrangement? If he really didn’t and the matter blew up, it would severely damage the Lu family’s reputation. At that point, their company’s share price would surely tumble.
Besides, she was carrying Second Brother’s child.
The moment she thought of the child, she immediately straightened her posture and smirked in confidence.

Even if Second Brother doesn’t treat me well, I am bearing his child. He’s always been a responsible person, he will not abandon us. Qiao Lian, on the contrary, you will have to bear a sullied reputation. Everyone who sees you will say, look, that’s the daughter of those scammers. I wonder how that will feel?

The moment she said this, Qiao Lian straightened her posture.
She walked towards Qiao Yiyi. The latter retreated a step in fright and asked,
What- what do you want?

Before she could finish speaking, something flashed before her eyes and a sound slap landed right across her face.
Bam.
The crisp and clear slap echoed through the corridor.
Qiao Lian glared at Qiao Yiyi and said in a dangerous tone,
What did you just say? If you have the guts, say it one more time!

Her face was burning with fury. Her parents could never be proven innocent ever again, it was a topic she couldn’t let slide.
