Chapter 1 Conspiracy and Calculation

At five oclock in the afternoon, Qiao Nian took a taxi to the Qiao residence at No. 8 Yunjin Road. As soon as I entered the door, I saw a red Porsche parked in the yard with a ribbon tied on the front of the car. No need to guess, this must be a twentieth birthday gift for the little princess of the Qiao family. Thinking of the economic crisis reported by the Qiao family before, Qiao Nian couldnt help but reveal a sneer at the corner of her mouth.

Walking into the house, several servants in the family were busy coming in and out, preparing for Qiao Ans birthday party in the evening. When Zhang Ma saw Qiao Nian, she hurried over and smiled, "Miss, youre back!"

Qiao Nian nodded, looked around, and then asked, "Where are my dad and Aunt Hui?"

Zhang Ma didnt say anything, just pointed in the direction of the second floor. Qiao Nian frowned, and then realized that there was a noise upstairs.

Going up the spiral staircase, the voice became clearer. The door of Qiao Ans room on the second floor was ajar. Qiao Nian looked inside through the gap...

"I dont care. You lied to me. You said Mr. Xi was a 30-year-old man with a beer belly and a bald head. I saw him today and he is not at all!"

Qiao An cried bitterly. Thinking of the 80th anniversary celebration of the school this morning, when the CEO of Hengtai was the last guest to give a speech, she could hardly believe her eyes.

That man was tall, handsome, and charming... Most importantly, he would become the heir of the Xi family and own billions of assets.

"Why did you marry Qiao Nian to him? Why that illegitimate daughter... and not me!" Qiao An looked at her parents with resentment on her face.

"You silly child, we did this for your own good!" Fu Minghui sat next to her daughter and wiped her tears, feeling very distressed.

"How can it be good for me? I think I am even worse than that illegitimate daughter!" Qiao An pushed her mother away angrily, and Fu Minghui stumbled and almost fell.

"Have you had enough of making a scene!" Seeing his daughter throwing a tantrum like this, Qiao Jianguo could no longer hold back and shouted angrily, "You are young, what do you know? How can we not plan for you!"

Qiao An was about to refute, but was stopped by Fu Minghui: "An An, stop making a scene. Mom is not afraid to tell you that the marriage between our Qiao family and the Xi family will not last long!"

Qiao Jianguo looked at Qiao An, who looked confused, and said slowly: "Although our two families have an engagement, the Xi family is no longer affordable for us now. How can Qiao Nian have a good life if she marries there? Besides, Mr. Xi is very cunning and will not be easily restrained by anyone. He agreed to the marriage but refused to make it public. He was just filial to the old man of the Xi family and did not want to disobey his wishes, but this old man..."

At this point, Qiao Jianguo couldnt help but sigh: "I have already inquired with the private doctor of the Xi family. The old man will not live for more than two years. By then, Mr. Xi will easily kick our Qiao family away!"

Qiao An was stunned and took a breath: "Dad, you mean..."

Qiao Jianguo shook his head and continued: "You are still young, and you cant see through some things. Dad doesnt blame you. You just need to know that what I said to you will rot in your stomach. It will not be good for our Qiao family to tell it out!"

He did not forget that the economic crisis that Qiao had just solved was still relying on the funds of the Xi family.

"Yes, if you listen obediently, we will definitely find you a young talent with good character, appearance and family in the future. It is better than becoming an abandoned woman of a wealthy family in the future!" Fu Minghui quickly agreed. Her precious daughter could only marry in glory in the future, and she could not live a life without a name and status...

Qiao Nian stood outside the door, her heart was completely cold. Even though she could remain indifferent to the bullying and sarcasm of the Qiao family mother and daughter over the years, when she heard her biological fathers calculations against her, the little thought she still had about this family was shattered into slag.
