The sleeping Qiao Xingyin was awakened by the sound of beatings and scolding.
She rubbed her eyes and walked to the stairs in her slippers.
When she saw the situation in the living room below, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"Wei Mingxia, I've raised you and that oil bottle for so many years. Now that I'm in trouble, can't she sacrifice?"
Stepfather Nan Qingyuan pointed at her mother drunkenly.
Wei Mingxia sat on the ground with messy hair, crying like a tearful person, "Then the sixth master of the Jiang family is notoriously cruel, or her sleeves are cut off. Any girl who comes close to her will either have their arms broken or their faces slashed. I'm still young, how can I suffer that?"
It was because of her inability. Twelve years ago, her husband died and she became a nightclub singer. Fortunately, she was attracted by Nan Qingyuan and moved her daughter into a luxurious villa.
But the sadness that followed was not enough for outsiders.
She was often beaten, and her daughter was often bullied by the daughter left by Nan Qingyuan's ex-wife.
Now, in order to get the Jiang family's investment, Nan Qingyuan wanted to send her daughter to the wolf's den. How could she be willing?
Nan Qingyuan looked at her in disgust and jabbed her forehead with his finger.
"Look at how useless you are. The Jiang family is the largest family in Imperial. Even if they were to risk their lives if they were to get close to Sixth Master Jiang, women who wanted to marry him would still be able to get out of the city. The old lady of the Jiang family specified that she wanted Xingyin, do you think such a good thing would be her turn?"
His biological daughter, Nan Ruoxi, was twenty-two years old this year.
Wei Mingxia hugged Nan Qingyuan's thigh as if ashes, "I'm willing to be a bull and a horse to repay your kindness to our mother and daughter, but Yin'er is only 20 years old. her student, I beg you to spare her!"
Nan Qingyuan kicked Wei Mingxia away. "Woman with no vision, let me tell you, Qingyin must marry the Jiang family. If you don't agree, don't blame me for being rude."
After he finished speaking, he picked up the whip hanging on the wall and prepared to hit Wei Mingxia.
"Stop!"
Qiao Xingyin hurriedly ran downstairs and hugged Wei Mingxia in her arms.
"Mom, are you alright?"
Wei Mingxia shook her head, "Mom is fine, hurry up and go back to sleep!"
Now that Nan Qingyuan's head was unclear, she was afraid that he would even fight Qiao Xingyin.
"No, I don't want to go to bed. I can't sleep on this soft gold bed. Let's go now!"
She had been living on campus for so many years, and occasionally she would see her stepfather insulting her mother when she came back.
She had also persuaded her to divorce. Even if she was poor, she did not want her mother to live in such humiliation, but in the end, it was to no avail.
This time, she had to take her mother out of this place.
Wei Mingxia held her daughter's hand and bit her lip, tears streaming down her face.
"Yin'er, mother can't leave. If mother leaves, your grandmother will die."
Qiao Xingyin was stunned for a moment, then she understood.
Her grandmother had had a heart attack for many years and had undergone several surgeries to no avail. Every day she relied on expensive imported medicines to hang herself.
Qiao Xingyin fell to the ground. A strong sense of powerlessness welled up in her heart. Her originally clear eyes were dry and painful. She really wanted to cry, but there was no tears.
After a long time, she took a deep breath and said softly, "I'll marry ... but I have one condition. You are not allowed to embarrass my mother in the future."
Nan Qingyuan was overjoyed, "Good! Good! I'll agree to whatever you say. It's still my daughter who knows the current affairs!"
