Chapter 1343: Chapter 1343: He Doesn’t Look Like a Child At All

“Jiasen, this was never a serious matter to begin with, and Dad already apologized to you. Can’t you let it go?”

Qiao Haidong implored earnestly, “All I’ve been doing is for you! I’ve been gathering funds from everywhere, hoping for a comeback, wanting to rebuild a large company; it’s all for preparing for your future! They gave me twenty-five million, can’t you just withdraw the complaint? If you don’t, the money that I’m about to receive will fly away!”

Qiao Jiasen looked at him coldly, “That money was never yours to begin with. Isn’t it only right to return it? Besides, how many times have I told you? I don’t need you to start a company, I don’t need you to make money. All you need to do is stay home honestly, not go out causing trouble and incurring debts. And yet you still want to start a company? I will decide my own future; I don’t need you preparing anything for me!”

Seeing he couldn’t persuade him, Qiao Haidong turned to persuade Qiao Yin, “Qiao Yin, I don’t need your hundred million anymore. Just go and fix Gu Ranmo’s face, that shouldn’t be too difficult for you. Just consider it for Jiasen’s sake, alright? Hurry and make the trip!”

Qiao Yin was so annoyed she laughed, “I didn’t have to give you a hundred million in the first place, so now it sounds as if you’re being so magnanimous by not asking for it! Gu Ranmo disfigured her own face on purpose, only to slander our hospital. What she has in mind is to tarnish the reputation of my hospital, then drive it to bankruptcy and closure!”

“I know Gu Ranmo harbors no good intentions, but her mother has offered money, right? And she only paid half. If you can heal her daughter’s face, she’ll pay me the other half. By then, I’ll have fifty million!”

Qiao Haidong said greedily, “Fifty million, such a huge sum of money. How many years would it take for you to earn that by treating patients? The money comes so easily; you’d be a fool not to treat Gu Ranmo. Moreover, this money is very important to me, it’s the first seed capital for my comeback! I have to get all of it!”

Qiao Yin didn’t bother with him anymore; with his mentality, even if you gave him five hundred million, he could squander it all.

She grabbed Qiao Jiasen’s arm and led him out.

Qiao Haidong quickly blocked her, “What are you doing? You’re really going to take Jiasen with you?!”

“Of course I’m taking Jiasen. Who knows what might happen if I leave him with you!”

Qiao Yin pushed him away and left with Qiao Jiasen.

Qiao Haidong didn’t stop them this time because his phone was ringing off the hook, and he was too busy answering calls to pay attention to Qiao Jiasen; anyway, even if Qiao Yin took Jiasen away, he could snatch him back later. First, he had to deal with Gu Ranmo’s matter!

Qiao Yin drove away with Qiao Jiasen, her eyes red, silent all the way.

She wanted to curse Qiao Haidong for not being decent, but after all, he was Jiasen’s biological father. Insulting him would probably not make Jiasen feel any better.

After getting home, her anger simmered down a bit.

“My grandma has been staying over at my mom’s place these past few days, so tonight you can sleep in my room, and I’ll sleep in grandma’s room.”

As Qiao Yin spoke to Qiao Jiasen, she frowned and looked around her small nest.

The house was still too small; there wasn’t even enough space to sleep with an extra person in the house.

She needed to buy a bigger apartment, at least one with three bedrooms.

Qiao Jiasen had no objections to her arrangements, but he didn’t plan to stay at Qiao Yin’s place for long. He had to keep an eye on Qiao Haidong, or else he might cause even bigger troubles and disasters at any moment.

However, staying with Qiao Yin for a few days and giving Qiao Haidong a scare wasn’t a bad idea.

It would also help soothe Qiao Yin’s emotions.

Seeing Qiao Yin frowning, he reached out and pressed against her brow, “Don’t worry so much. You’ll age yourself with all this stress. You should live a little easier.”

Qiao Yin looked up at him and for a moment felt that he seemed different from before. He was now so mature, so steady; not at all like a child.

People often say that the children of the poor have to take charge early, but in fact, having an unreliable father can have the same effect.

Qiao Jiasen had been forced to grow up.
