You Are My Unforgettable Love

Chapter 1159: He Actually Likes Her This Much... (15)

Qiao Lian stood in the washroom, listening to the conversation, and was stunned at once.

The account book from that time.

Narrowing her eyes, she placed her ears against the door and listened with great attention to what was happening in the office.

Following this, she heard Lu Nanze lower his voice as he said, “He’s using the account book to threaten you again? Dad, it’s been so many years. Are you going to be held hostage all your life?”

Dad Lu narrowed his eyes and replied, “Don’t speak nonsense. As long as you marry Qiao Yiyi and our families become in-laws, it will be ok. On top of this, after Qiao Yiyi has your child, we’ll be a family. At that point, they will surely destroy the account book.”

Lu Nanze laughed coldly and said, “So, you’re using my marriage as a transaction?”

Dad Lu coughed awkwardly and said, “How can you call this a transaction? Besides, Qiao Yiyi is pregnant with your child, it’s only reasonable that you marry her! Haven’t I told you before? All these years, you managed to keep Qiao Yiyi under control and now it’s great, you’ve gotten her pregnant, you have to be responsible somehow. I can’t let my grandson or granddaughter bear the label of an illegitimate child all his life.”

Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

Qiao Lian, in the washroom, on the other hand, was shaken.

Prior to this, she had only been guessing but unexpectedly, in this moment, she actually had a confirmation.

Qiao Zhigang was definitely involved in her parents’ tragic ending.

Qiao Lian’s fingers curled tightly as the thought ran through her mind.

She couldn’t think of a good reason why her uncle would do this.

Thinking back, her grandfather had left everything to Dad when he died. At that time, Uncle and his family should have moved out. But Dad had said that Uncle was family, and the Qiao family belonged to him too. Hence, Dad had always been kind to their family. Although Uncle wasn’t the head of the Qiao family, and neither was he the CEO of the company, her family had always made sure he didn’t lack anything.

Even when Qiao Yiyi was born, Dad had asked Uncle to come over and they opened an account for the newborn. Every year, two percent of the company’s profits would go into it. And Dad told Uncle that this would be Qiao Yiyi’s dowry in the future.

They had been nothing but kind to Uncle’s family, so why had he treated them like this in return?!

With her fists tightly clenched, she leaned against the wall, shutting her eyes after a pause to take a deep breath.

In reality, she only felt anger for all the things her uncle’s family had done. She wasn’t sad.

What was sad was that she had been betrayed by such a close family member. At the time, Dad had trusted Qiao Zhigang so much, he had even allowed him to work in the company.

After the Qiao family business got into trouble, Dad had, in the first instance, removed Qiao Zhigang from any implications and bore the burden himself.

But what about them?

Qiao Zhigang. Qiao Yiyi.

Qiao Lian was determined that she would never coexist with their family in this lifetime.

At this point, she heard the voices outside continue, “Nanze, are you still enamored with that silly girl from the Qiao family? I’m telling you, she’s already married, I will never agree to her remarrying you! If you really want her, then find another way to get her. Women. Once you have them, they’re all the same.”

Qiao Lian frowned at once.

Then she heard Lu Nanze interrupting his father, “Dad! Don’t insult Qiao Lian! I won’t let her be without status, I won’t cause her such grief. I can tell you something for sure: in this lifetime, I will marry no one but Qiao Lian.”
