章 15: ~Xiao Qin's Mom~

Xiao Long gnashed his jaw when he heard Qiao Xin's daring words. So this was the first time, huh, this was the first time he had been rejected outright by a woman, and that woman was Qiao Xin?

Xiao Long was annoyed, he really couldn't accept Qiao Xin's rejection. However, he had to suppress his anger. Because if he didn't, he was afraid that his grandfather's illness would get worse because he knew that Qiao Xin had refused his request for marriage.

So, what should Xiao Long do to solve all this? Or should he tell Qiao Xin the truth that he had to ask Qiao Xin to marry him? Because he only wanted to make his grandfather happy in his grandfather's last moments.

"I won't ask you twice. Especially in asking for your hand in marriage. You certainly know who I am. I am the owner of the Han Corporation, highly sought after by all the women in this world. Aren't you too arrogant to refuse this marriage offer? You have rejected a once-in-a-lifetime chance, Miss Liu. And I assure you that you will be truly sorry for this," Xiao Long said, trying to make Qiao Xin regret her decision.

"If it's true that all the women in this world really want you, why bother asking me to marry you? Isn't this ridiculous, Mr. Han? You can marry those women who love you. But not me. With all due respect, though you are rich and a very respected Young Master in this country, I see you as nothing more than a cowardly man who often hides behind the power of your family. If you stand alone without bearing the name 'Han' I'm sure that not a single soul will ever care about you. Do you know the reason why women in this world want you so much? They all after nothing but your wealth. Nothing more, Mr. Han,"

Xiao Long clenched his hands tightly as Qiao Xin ridiculed him. He had no idea that Qiao Xin's words would hurt his heart, mock him, and make him hate her even more. He hated Qiao Xin so much, hated it so much.

After that, Xiao Long decided to leave Qiao Xin's room, and then he paused for a moment in front of the door. He was baffled. What should he do now? His grandfather had no time, and how would he grant his grandfather's last wish. Seeing his grandfather cry is the thing that Xiao Long hates the most. Until then, Xiao Long saw a nurse come to give Qiao Xin a cell phone.

"Miss Liu, do you still need a cell phone?" asked a nurse, Xiao Long frowned. He then stood behind the door so that he could hear Qiao Xin's conversation with the nurse.

"May I borrow it?" Qiao Xin asked in the end. The nurse smiled and then nodded.

"Go ahead, Miss Liu. Use it to your needs. I'll go first, Miss Liu. I'll be back later with some medicine for you."

"Thank you, Miss,"

Qiao Xin immediately contacted someone after the nurse left.

Xiao Long also tried to hide so that he would not be seen by the nurse who came out, and then he looked at Qiao Xin. He was so curious about who Qiao Xin would call that she went out of her way to borrow a cellphone.

And not long after that, Qiao Xin smiled as if she had picked up the call from the person she was screaming at.

"Xixin, how are you? I'm your sister Qiao Xin. I borrowed a friend's cell phone because my phone battery ran out and I forgot to bring a charger to work. I suddenly missed you and Mom, so I called you. Are you off school today? How are you doing? Your school, is everything okay? You're going to that university you want? You can send me the details of Xixin's needs to me, okay?"

Xiao Long frowned again. Qiao Xin's voice was quite loud, so he didn't need to try so hard because, with the door open, the conversation sounded very clear.

"Yes, I will do my best. Trust me," Qiao Xin said later. Her mouth trembled. She wanted to say that she had resigned from her job, it was complicated.

"Sister Qiao Xin, Mom is in a bad state right now. I took a week off from school. The money you sent us last month has run dry, I even have mortgaged our property deed for Mom's medical expenses. Can you borrow from your best friend again to reclaim the house certificate? And can you immediately send money to me for our needs here? Your payday is coming soon, right? I'm really looking forward to that, "

"W... what? Mother's condition is declining again? Now how is she, Xixin? Are you okay? Oh my God, how did this happen? You don't have to worry about money, when I receive my salary, I will send it to you. And for the money that you need to reclaim our property deed, tell me, I will send it immediately. You and Mom don't need to worry about money and medical expenses, Mom, yes. I promise I will work hard for you. As long as you can live a better life, as long as you are happy, I will do anything for you,"

"Okay, Sis. I have to go now. I must take care of some other things."

"Yeah, I'll call you later."

After she ended the call, Qiao Xin immediately covered her face with her hands. She didn't know how she would find the money for her mother and sister. She's baffled, she's jobless, and she can't even get a penny. Qiao Xin didn't even know how to carry on living without a single coin at hand.

Meanwhile, Xiao Long, who overheard all the conversation, seemed to have an idea to get Qiao Xin to agree to his grandfather's request. Yes, with some persuasion and a little pressure, everything would go smoothly. Xiao Long then decided to leave from there.
