Chapter 1782: Shameless


“Madam Ding, didn’t you say that you have never worked before? How did you get the hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy a house for Miss Qiao?”


Qiao Zijin basically never worked. For the old Qiao couple, one of them was paid a fixed salary while the other did housework at home without earning any salary. Where did the hundreds of thousands of yuan come from then? At this time, everyone couldn’t help but think of the younger Qiao sister, the one who so-called ran away with the life-saving money for her biological sister’s treatment.


Some things were not based just on Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin’s words alone. What they said wasn’t facts that everyone should believe right away. It wasn’t the truth at all. Of course, their words naturally couldn’t stand scrutiny.


Out of the Qiao family of three, two of them were full-time housewives and led an idle life. The pillar of the Qiao family was getting older and was paid only a fixed salary. Going by this, wasn’t the only person actually working in the Qiao family the younger Qiao sister who had ‘ran away with the life-saving money’?


The three from the Qiao family couldn’t earn much money. Qiao Zijin’s kidney transplant operation needed quite a sum of money. Here was the issue again. Where did the money the younger Qiao sister ‘ran away’ with come from? It couldn’t be that someone had donated to Qiao Zijin, right?


The only explanation was that this sum of money originated from the younger Qiao sister!


If Qiao Zijin really didn’t have any a.s.sets and could only rely on her biological sister to save her life, and her biological sister had left with her own money, then from the legal side of things, the younger Qiao sister didn’t have to bear any obligations. However, from the morals and kins.h.i.+p side of things, Miss Qiao was indeed to be blamed.


However, the relations.h.i.+p between Qiao Zijin and the younger Qiao sister wasn’t like that at all, alright?


Qiao Zijin had already obtained a house from the younger Qiao sister. She still wanted to continue exploiting the younger Qiao sister and get her to fork out the money for her medical treatment. Even Ding Jiayi, the biological mother, didn’t treat Qiao Zijin this well. On what basis should Qiao Zijin ask her biological sister to fork out money and sacrifice for her in this way?


Qiao Zijin clearly took advantage of her biological sister.


The person who claimed to be miserable was, in fact, not miserable at all. Instead, the sister who was almost lambasted to be heartless was the real and only tragic character in the Qiao family.


“Miss Qiao, according to our investigations, when you were ill, your sister ran into a car accident. You said that your sister had taken away all your life-saving money. That was, in fact, the monetary compensation to her by the driver who had knocked her down. Is what we have found out true? Is the truth like this?”


Qiao Zijin regarded the monetary compensation from the car accident as her own and felt that it was wrong for the younger Qiao sister to take it away. Should the whole world belong to Qiao Zijin? How shameless.


The reporter today was twice as angry as compared to when she had first heard about this incident. What was different was that the reporter’s anger was initially directed at Qiao Nan. Now, it was directed at Qiao Zijin. Ever since working as a reporter, she had often seen shameless people, but not such shameless ones. Her lower limit was repeatedly refreshed by these shameless people.


“You…” Qiao Zijin’s face turned pale. This time, she wasn’t pretending. She was really frightened. “I’m not feeling well. I’m really not feeling well now. I’m not going to accept your interview. I want to rest. Please go out. Doctor. Doctor!” In the face of the camera, Qiao Zijin didn’t act as skillful and calm as before. She pulled up her blanket in embarra.s.sment to cover her face.


Actually, this guilty action of Qiao Zijin had already answered the reporter’s question. Everything the reporter found out was the truth. The Qiao family wasn’t poor at all. In fact, their family conditions were pretty good. They had two houses with a total value of more than three million yuan.


Was such a person pitiful? Did she really need the donations?


Whoever donated was a fool. If the TV station wanted to continue helping Qiao Zijin, it would just be ruining its own reputation.


Qiao Zijin must have been extremely bold to fool the public and the media. She was courting her own death!


Everyone didn’t understand why Qiao Zijin did such a thing when she was really sick. They couldn’t figure out Qiao Zijin, who had pulled up the blanket to cover her face on TV. Qiao Nan expressed that she understood this. In her dreams, she had already seen such a similar scene once.


Indeed, as long as she didn’t cooperate, Qiao Zijin would always put on a pitiful act, regardless if this was in her dreams or not. The reason why she dreamed about a similar situation might be because she had long guessed that Qiao Zijin bore such temper. Upon thinking of her dream where Qiao Zijin gave birth to a daughter and Zhou Xing became a celebrity eventually, Qiao Nan laughed coldly. Qiao Zijin had an innate desire to put up a performance, she supposed.


“Sorry for the long delay again. I’ll check out these items for you.” After watching the news, the lady boss realized that she had once again kept Qiao Nan, the customer, waiting. She didn’t know why, but she seemed to see this customer often recently. It seemed like this customer didn’t like to order takeaways and liked to cook for herself at home. She used up oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar faster than others.


Qiao Nan pointed to the items on the counter. “Yes, these items.”


“Okay.” The lady boss calculated the price quickly. “You’ve seen the news just now as well. I didn’t expect that there would be such shameless people in this world. The family owns two houses. If she casually sold one away, she would still have a place to live in and would have plenty of money to spend on medical treatment. Now, she even wanted people to donate money for her operation. Isn’t this a scam?”


The lady boss muttered and started to discuss Qiao Zijin’s news with Qiao Nan. “Thankfully, I didn’t donate. If those people who had donated suddenly realized that the recipient of their donation was much richer than themselves, I don’t know how they would feel. Initially, I was still quite angry at that younger sister for being mean. Now, it looks like the younger sister is quite pitiful. Needless to say, that old couple wasn’t the one who bought the house. It should be the younger sister who forked out the money.”


The younger sister forked out the money for a house that became the older sister’s. The older sister wasn’t willing to sell the house when she was sick and expected the younger sister to fork out the money…


Upon thinking that the money claimed by Qiao Zijin to have been taken away by the younger sister was actually the monetary compensation received by the latter for the car accident, the lady boss became even more speechless. In this world, only Qiao Zijin treated her own life as important. The lives of others were not important at all.


“That mother is too overboard as well. Both are her daughters but she’s so biased. Do you think that younger daughter might have been adopted?” Otherwise, why was it that one was the money-making machine for the family while the other could just sit idly and enjoy the fruits of others’ work? Even the monetary compensation from the car accident belonged to her.


Qiao Nan laughed sarcastically. “Who knows? If that’s really the case, it might even be considered a blessing for that younger Qiao sister.”
