In the Rose Garden in the Qiao Family's villa.
Qiao Weimin just reached home when he received Aunt Chen's call. He irritably pulled off his tie and handed it to Shen Qiongzhi, saying, "Wait. Aunt Chen is calling me."
Shen Qiongzhi asked in surprise, "Why is she calling you?"
"I don't know."
The Qiao Family's arrogance seemed to be engraved on their bones. Shen Qiongzhi frowned and said unhappily, "Does she want to borrow money from you? I heard that her family is living miserably now. Her husband is suffering from a strange disease and hasn't recovered after a year in the hospital..."
After all, Aunt Chen was related to his mother-in-law. Aunt Chen's mother and her mother-in-law were cousins. One married a small local boss, while the other married a poor man.
Afterward, He Yujuan followed her husband to develop the city. Aunt Chen's family stayed in the house. After she gave birth, her family needed help.
He Yujuan didn't want to help out with the children and got her niece to help.
She was Aunt Chen.
From the beginning, Aunt Chen helped her out a lot. However, she realized that Aunt Chen was treating Qiao Nian better than Qiao Chen. She was buying Qiao Nian candy behind her back and brought Qiao Nian to her house to play. As a result, she found a reason to dismiss her out of anger.
After all, Qiao Nian wasn't her biological daughter, and Qiao Chen was her precious son.
Qiao Weimin picked up the phone and said, "She has never asked to borrow money from Mom. It doesn't make sense if she wants to borrow money now. No matter what, let me pick up the call first."
Shen Qiongzhi helped him to keep his clothes and said, "If she wants to borrow money, don't lend her too much. Ten or twenty thousand should be enough. Given their family situation, it's unlikely you will get the money back. Our family is not a charity, and there are many poor relatives around. Once you agree, they will all come and borrow from you...."
After all, Aunt Chen was a relative of their family. Shen Qiongzhi's words made him frustrated, even though he agreed with her.
Ten or twenty thousand was doable and could be considered as charity.
He picked up the call and held the phone to his ear.
