Space and Rebirth: The Favored Genius Doctor and Businesswoman

Chapter 92 – Plotting Behind Her Back (背后算计)

Even though the way Qiao Hongye was dragging him away to hide from the other students was a bit weird, when he compared Jing Yunzhao’s attitude towards him this morning, Qiao Weimin felt that his own daughter was more considerate.

This was how a lady should act!

Qiao Weimin exhaled a breath of smoke and threw the cigarette in his hand onto the ground, grinding it. “What is up with Jing Yunzhao?”

Qiao Hongye paused, “What’s wrong with Jie-jie?”

“Don’t call her your sister! Like that bastard would deserve it!” Qiao Weimin snorted coldly. “There’s only a single wall between your classrooms. Why didn’t you tell me about her actions? That bastard brought two hundred thousand yuan to town today and bought Lao Li’s stupid jar!”

“Two hundred thousand?!” Qiao Hongye was shocked. “Impossible. There’s no way she would have that much money. Dad, did you give her money in the past?”

Qiao Hongye almost instantly assumed that her parents were treating Jing Yunzhao too well. Even though she and Qiao Zizhou were their biological children, they didn’t even know how much savings they had at home. They usually got a couple of hundred yuan as an allowance, yet Jing Yunzhao got it good. She had cheated so much money from their family!

Was her dad stupid? How could he have given money to Jing Yunzhao?!

Two hundred thousand yuan, that was enough to buy a small house in town!

Qiao Hongye’s eyes gleamed with hints of suspicion, looking as if she had been mistreated. Qiao Weimin was angry and rolled his eyes. “I didn’t give her that money!”

“She dug up two wild ginseng by herself and sold one. I bet it’s priced at least four to five hundred thousand yuan. Otherwise, she wouldn’t use two hundred thousand to buy some stupid jar!”

Just mentioning the ginseng made Qiao Weimin’s heart itch.

How could such a fortune land itself in Jing Yunzhao’s hands? God is truly blind!

When Qiao Hongye heard this, she had the same exact thoughts as Qiao Weimin. Her heart was storming with jealousy. Her mind was blank. Her ear had an overpowering voice as if someone was mocking her without end and saying, ‘See, the further Jing Yunzhao is from the house, the better she’s doing. She’s no longer your family’s servant. You’re not even worth a single strand of her hair...’ [1]

[1] (The raws said “worth a single finger of hers” but I changed it to hair because I like changing things.:/ )

How could this be? Qiao Hongye thought in terror.

After a while, she opened her mouth and inquired, “Dad, she brought the money out at the market? So everyone at the market knows now?”

If that was so, then there would definitely be people mocking their family behind their backs!

Qiao Weimin sighed, “This money was spent regretfully. If you had told me about it earlier, we wouldn’t have lost two hundred thousand.”

“Dad! How could you be feeling regretful [2] for Jie-jie? She doesn’t use her money to respect you, her actions are just too wrong!” Qiao Hongye couldn’t help but remark.

[2] (I know it sounds weird in English. It’s pretty much that “what a waste” kind of feeling.)

“Feeling regretful for her? I’m feeling regretful for myself! This money was mine, there’s no way I’d let it go! Tell me, where does Jing Yunzhao live? Where does she go when she’s out....” Qiao Weimin said.

Qiao Hongye was troubled by his questions.

Whenever she chatted with friends, she would pretend to worry about Jing Yunzhao’s situation. Right now, everyone was guessing whether Jing Yunzhao was living with those homeless people under the bridge or living a harsh life or trying to to find a public restroom.

The rumors may have been so, but in reality, she knew nothing.

But thinking about it, Qiao Hongye suddenly had a clue, “She’s always walking to school with a girl named Su Chu, so she probably lives in a neighborhood near the school...”

“Don’t come home this week. Find out where she lives, who she lives with, and what patterns she has. If Dad can get a hold of that unsold ginseng, I’ll send you to the County’s dance classes. Whatever you want, Daddy will buy for you,” Qiao Weimin said as his eyes burned with malicious greed.
