Luo Nian was so embarrassed and angry that he turned around and called Second Sister Qiao.

Second Sister Qiao felt that she was superior in front of the Qiao family. However, when she was in front of her husband and his friends, she felt inferior even if she did not speak.

Many people were polite to her on the surface, but behind her back, they often criticized her. Some said that she was not educated, and some said that she was a mistress. Every word they said was like a stab to Second Sister Qiao's heart.

Second Sister Qiao could rebuke people who were not as good as her without any hesitation. However, when faced with people who were much better off than her, Second Sister Qiao could only endure it.

Recently, Second Sister Qiao's husband and Luo Nian's family had jointly opened a hotpot restaurant. Second Sister Qiao had never been able to interfere with her family's business. However, she slowly understood that if she did not have any money or business, she would always be stepped on.

Therefore, she pestered them and finally became half the person in charge of the new restaurant.

There was no need to mention how happy Second Sister Qiao was. Every day, she drove her little BMW and enjoyed the days of being a boss.

However, she was scolded by Luo Nian the moment she turned around.

Luo Nian said that Qiao Lan did not know her place. She was a family of country bumpkins who thought that she could fly just because she was good-looking.

Luo Nian scolded Qiao Lan, but Second Sister Qiao felt that Luo Nian was indirectly scolding her and the Qiao family.

Second Sister Qiao was furious. However, when she met these "rich people", Second Sister Qiao could not help but feel inferior. Initially, she only thought that Luo Nian was scolding her. Perhaps after she rebuked him, Luo Nian would directly scold her.

Second Sister Qiao could only endure all the anger. After hanging up the phone, she angrily called Mother Qiao. If not for the fact that she did not have Qiao Lan's contact information, Second Sister Qiao might have called Qiao Lan.

Mother Qiao was in a good mood these days. In order to court Qiao Lan, Luo Nian sent a lot of gifts to the Qiao family, such as fruits and health supplements. Mother Qiao was overjoyed.

Compared to Second Sister Qiao's son-in-law, Luo Nian was much better. He was young, the only son in the family, and he was so generous.

He had already sent gifts to the family. When Qiao Lan married him in the future, not to mention how many benefits there would be in the future, the betrothal gifts would definitely not be small.

The more Mother Qiao thought about it, the happier she became. However, after a few days, Second Sister Qiao called and directly asked her what Qiao Lan wanted.

Mother Qiao was even angrier when she heard this. She walked around the house, not only angry, but also confused.

"Am I harming her?

Isn't the son-in-law I found for her good?

It's rare that Luo Nian likes her, but she's dragging him down! "

Mother Qiao really did not expect that Qiao Lan would directly provoke Luo Nian. When she thought about the hundreds of thousands of dollars in betrothal gifts going down the drain, she could not sit still. After thinking about it for a long time, she could not just let it go. Wouldn't she be heartbroken if the duck in her hands flew away?

However, finding Qiao Lan was another problem.

The Affiliated High School was a very good school in the province. The management was very strict, and it was very difficult for people who did not know to enter the school. Previously, Qiao Yuan said that she was not feeling well. Father Qiao anxiously went to the school to pick her up, but the guard at the gate refused to let him in.

Mother Qiao did not know Qiao Lan's phone number and could not enter the school. In the end, Mother Qiao was at her wit's end. She dug up the phone number of Qiao Lan's grade one class teacher and found the number of Qiao Lan's grade two class teacher.

Even if the teachers wanted to protect the students, this was a call from Qiao Lan's biological mother. Mother Qiao said that she had quarreled with Qiao Lan and that Qiao Lan was angry and refused to answer her call. She had no choice but to go to the class teacher.

Most people would not think that a biological mother would scheme against their own child like this. Mother Qiao seemed to be very concerned about her daughter, so the class teacher did not suspect anything.

On Sunday night, Uncle Chen was worried that Luo Nian would come to the school gate to cause trouble for Qiao Lan again, so he personally sent Qiao Lan over. After he went back, he followed Tan Mo's instructions and asked someone to keep an eye on Luo Nian so that he would not go to the school gate to cause trouble for Qiao Lan again.

Luo Nian purposely called Second Sister Qiao to let the Qiao family handle this matter. Then, he would let Qiao Lan take the initiative to come to him. Therefore, Luo Nian was very well-behaved these two days and waited for Second Sister Qiao to give him good news.

Therefore, Luo Nian did not harass Qiao Lan for the time being. However, on the day of the flag raising on Monday morning, the class teacher said that she had something to discuss with her.

Qiao Lan's grades were good, so the class teacher often asked her for help. Last time, she even helped to grade papers, so Qiao Lan did not think much of it. However, when Qiao Lan went over, she saw Mother Qiao, whom she had not seen for almost a year.

Qiao Lan turned around and wanted to leave, but the class teacher patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't be angry with your parents. Look, your mother is worried about you. She even came to the school to see you. You can't be so stubborn anymore. Talk to your mother properly. There is no overnight hatred between a child and their parents."

After saying that, the class teacher left happily. Qiao Lan did not want to talk to Mother Qiao at all, but when she turned around, she stopped.

She could not keep hiding the matter between her and the Qiao family. She had to find a time to resolve it. She had wanted to find a chance to talk to Father Qiao and Mother Qiao, but she was afraid that if she went back to the Qiao family, she would not be able to leave again, so she could only put it on hold.

Now, Mother Qiao had taken the initiative to look for her.

Qiao Lan retreated.

At this moment, everyone was raising the national flag, so there was no one else around.

Mother Qiao came looking for Qiao Lan angrily, but when she entered the school, she felt a little uneasy. Then, when she saw Qiao Lan, whom she had not seen for almost a year, she suddenly realized that her third daughter was so unfamiliar that she could not recognize her.

Qiao Lan was much prettier than before. Mother Qiao had never seen such a beautiful girl in her life. However, the timidity that belonged to Qiao Lan in the past was gone, and she was obviously alienated.

Mother Qiao did not know why, but she suddenly felt that she could not be arrogant. She stared at Qiao Lan for a long time before she looked up at Qiao Lan and said, "It's been a year. If I hadn't come to see you today, were you not going to go back for the rest of your life?"

Mother Qiao decided to play the emotional card first. After all, she was the one who gave birth to Qiao Lan. Back then, she might have run away from home because she was really angry. It was impossible for her to not have any feelings for her family.

If Qiao Lan did not know the character of the Qiao Lan's family, and if it was in the past, Qiao Lan would have really thought that Mother Qiao was worried about her.

Qiao Lan listened to the grade director handing out the moving red flag without any expression on her face. "If you have something to say, just say it."

Mother Qiao was about to say, "Mom has been worried about you", but she could not say it out loud.

Mother Qiao glared at Qiao Lan in front of her. "I haven't seen you for a year, and this is your attitude when you see your mother?

Do you still have any conscience? Ah, look at which family's child is like you … "

"No family's parent is like you," Qiao Lan impatiently interrupted Mother Qiao's words. "For a year, you didn't ask about me, you didn't give your daughter a single cent, and you didn't care about her life or death.

Last week, the Luo Nian came to school and almost kidnapped me. This week, you came. You and I both know what you're here for. There's no one else here. If you have something to say, just say it. The flag-raising ceremony will end in ten minutes. "

Mother Qiao had lived shamelessly for more than forty years. She never thought that there would be a day when she would feel guilty because of her own daughter.

However, it was only a fleeting moment. A moment later, her nature was exposed.

"I heard from your second sister that the Luo Nian came to look for you. In the end, you threw a tantrum and even asked your classmate to chase him away?"

"Is there a problem?"

"He came to look for you with good intentions. He sent you messages every day and even went to the school gate to take you out for a meal during the weekend. What's wrong with you? Why is your attitude so bad?"

Qiao Lan was simply unreasonable.

"Did I ask him to come?"

"The Luo Nian's family is so good. It's your blessing that he likes you. Why are you still being so picky? Do you really think that your eyes are in the sky just because you have a few classmates who are studying with you? Your sister and I were kind enough to arrange such a good thing for you and find you a good son-in-law. You've ruined everything."

Qiao Lan took a deep breath.

"Are you arranging it for me or for you?

How much betrothal gift did the Luo Nian give you for you to be so considerate as to send your daughter over? "

Mother Qiao choked again.

Qiao Lan was completely different from before. She was not a little girl who could be fooled by anything she said. Mother Qiao realized that she had really underestimated Qiao Lan. However, she was also a little embarrassed and angry when Qiao Lan exposed her so bluntly.

"What's wrong with asking for betrothal gifts? I've raised you for more than ten years. What's wrong with asking for some betrothal gifts? You've spent my money to eat the food I cooked for you. You've spent more than ten years eating my food for more than ten years.

Now you think you're pretty and powerful. There are quite a lot of rich students chasing after you, so you don't put your family in your eyes, right? Without me and your father, where would your smart brain come from? Where would your face come from? "

My brain has nothing to do with you guys at all.

Qiao Lan couldn't listen to it anymore. "So what exactly do you want?"

Mother Qiao finally stopped in satisfaction. Then, she softened her tone, "I'm your mother. I definitely won't harm you. Luo Nian's family background is so good. He's young and likes you so much. He's much better than your second brother-in-law. Go back with me obediently. Then, apologize to Luo Nian and have a good meal with him …"

"Impossible." Qiao Lan interrupted Mother Qiao's words. "If he dares to do it again, I'll call the police."

"Call the police for what!"

Mother Qiao exclaimed again. She really didn't understand what Qiao Lan was thinking. She immediately became impatient. "Fine, fine, fine. It's fine if you don't want to see Luo Nian. As long as you can give me the betrothal gift money, I don't care what you do."

According to the conditions of Luo Nian's family, the betrothal gift money would definitely be in the hundreds of thousands. She didn't believe that Qiao Lan would be so stubborn.

"I'll give you the money, but not now."

"What?"

Mother Qiao was dumbfounded.

Qiao Lan said, "After the college entrance examination is over, I can give you the money. Just treat it as a reward for raising Qiao Lan."

As long as she could get into the top two universities in the country, she would be able to get a bonus of more than 200,000 yuan. As long as she maintained the status quo or even worked a little harder, Qiao Lan was confident that she would be able to get the money.

Although it was a pity, Qiao Lan felt that everything would be worth it if she could cut off such a disgusting relationship with the Qiao family.

If she gave the money to the Qiao family, she would be repaying the Qiao family's "kindness" for raising Qiao Lan. She would treat it as a reward for using Qiao Lan's body to repay the Qiao family. It would also treat it as all the alimony she would have to give to Father and Mother Qiao in the future. This way, she wouldn't have the obligation to support Father and Mother Qiao in the future.

Using money to buy the rest of her life's peace.
