章 238: Revealing the Secret of Why She Has To Get Married

However, Old Master Qiao did not think so. "If I hadn't taken you in back then, you would have gone to a better family and lived a better life. You wouldn't have been forced to take over all the Qiao family's mess."

Qiao Jingmo didn't want to say anything else. Knowing that he couldn't persuade Old Master Qiao, he turned around and was about to leave.

Old Master Qiao looked at Qiao Jingmo's back as he left. "Jingmo."

Qiao Jingmo stopped in his tracks.

Old Master Qiao's tone was filled with self-blame. "Back then, my bet with the Bai family was the wrong start. All these years, you were the one who turned the tide and slowly brought the Qiao family back to the right track. Although you've reached a high level, you can't easily resolve the promise of losing to the Bai family back then. I can't watch helplessly as Qiao Guigui is taken away by the Bai family, but I can't do anything to protect her. From now on, only you can protect her."
