"Jingyu is the only son of the Xia Family and also the nephew of the Li Family. Qiao Shan is going to marry into a rich family someday. He is a perfect match no matter in age, appearance, and character, not to mention that Qiao Shan really likes him." Qiao Wenyuan took it for granted.

Finally, he showed his real purpose.

"Qiao Shan is your daughter, am I not?" Qiao Ning said sadly.

Qiao Wenyuan remained calm and silent as if he did not want to acknowledge her as his daughter at all.

Qiao Ning smiled, yet her eyes filled with tears. Sure enough.

He had divorced her mother when she was still a baby. She should have known that her father was already "dead", and the father who was still alive should be Qian Shan's.

In the bar

Xia Jingyu kept pouring wine into his mouth and soon got very drunk.

Qiao Shan sat beside him and put her hand on his shoulder, "Jingyu, don't be like this, okay? I'll be sad if you do. She doesn't love you, but I do! I'm the one who loves you the most in the world."

"Qiao Ning, Qiao Ning." Xia Jingyu began to cry and kept murmuring Qiao Ning's name.

Qiao Shan bit her lower lip. She had made the decision. She picked up the drunk Xia Jingyu and hardly helped him out of the bar to a hotel.

A month later.

"Qiao Ning, Qiao Shan and Xia Jingyu come here." Qiao Ning's colleague Xu Meng walked over and said to her with a weird expression.

Qiao Ning frowned. She had already moved out of that house. She didn't know what they were doing here.

"What are you doing here?" Qiao Ning asked with a grim face.

She once tried to explain to Xia Jingyu, but not only did Xia Jingyu not accept, she even saw Qiao Shan in her pajamas, walking out of his bedroom. At that moment, she knew that they were over, so over.

"Sister, don't be so cold. Jingyu and I are getting married soon. You are my only sister. I certainly want you to attend our wedding." She leaned shyly on Xia Jingyu and smiled with pride.

Qiao Ning sneered and said sarcastically, "You want me to attend your wedding? Are you out of your mind!"

"Sister, why are you so cruel?" Qiao Shan asked with her mouth pursed.

Xia Jingyu frowned and said to Qiao Shan with a cold face, "I told you so, we shouldn't have come to her."

"Jingyu, don't say that. Although it was my sister's fault to mess with others first, we're sorry for being together now. She's my sister. I don't want her to hate us even after we get married." Qiao Shan said even more piteously.

There were many people in the sales office, although they were standing afar. Qiao Shan's voice was so loud that it wasn't easy to make it inaudible.

So some people immediately came over and looked at them, gossiping. Some of them were Qiao Ning's colleagues. 

Qiao Ning was so angry that her face turned red. Qiao Shan did it on purpose.

Out of anger, she cursed, "Qiao Shan, don't be shameless. You framed me first. How dare you to say this here?"

Xia Jingyu's face darkened and said, "Qiao Ning, it's you who are shameless! Qiao Shan is your own sister."

Xu Meng rushed through the crowd to stand in front of Qiao Ning.

"What are you doing? Do you think you can bully Qiao Ning? Do you know who is shameless? It's the one who cheated on Qiao Ning first and makes troubles in her workplace now."

Qiao Shan said to Xia Jingyu aggrievedly, "Jingyu, let's go! It's all my fault. I shouldn't attach any false hope to it."

"Hmph." Xia Jingyu gritted his teeth and snorted at Qiao Ning, and then turned around and left with Qiao Shan in his arms.

Qiao Ning shivered with anger. She had known Xia Jingyu for two years. The tenderness and sweetness of the past between them were still vivid. She had never expected things would turn into such a mess. 

"Qiao Ning, are you okay?" Xu Meng asked worriedly.

Qiao Ning shook her head. She couldn't work anymore, so she asked Xu Meng to ask for leave and got off work early to visit her mother at the hospital.

Her mother was hit by a car when she picked her up from school 15 years ago. Ever since then, her mother has been in a coma and has been lying in a hospital bed, turning into a vegetable.

It was also because of this that she had to ask Qiao Wenyuan for help and live together with his family.

Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the hospital, she met Qiao Wenyuan, who never appeared before.
