Chapter 413: 413: The Rebel Qiao Jiasen
He felt suspicious, “Qiao Haidong, what sort of mischief are you up to now?”
Qiao Haidong swiftly hid the bank card, “Nothing, what could I possibly get up to?”
“Give me the bank card!”
“There’s nothing on this card.”
“Hand it over!”
Qiao Haidong resolutely refused to give it this time: “You already took away one card of mine last time. That card had five million on it. Have you spent it already?”
“I’ve spent it.”
Qiao Haidong could hardly believe it: “It’s only been a few days? How did you spend it so fast? What have you been doing?”
“I didn’t do anything, I just spent it.”
“Did you spend it on women? Son, you’re still young, you can’t be spending it on women this early, it’s not good for your development. It could cause problems!”
Qiao Jiasen was furious, “What nonsense are you spouting?! I haven’t been spending time with any women!”
“Then what have you been doing? Are you using any substances?”
Qiao Jiasen scowled, “No! I used it to pay off debt!”
“What debt? Did you start owing money outside?”
“I didn’t owe anyone, it’s your debt!”
“My debt? Who? Old Hu? Old Wang? Old Zhang? Or Old Ma?”
Qiao Jiasen was speechless, “Did you borrow money from everyone in this city? How much do we owe in this house!”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Haidong was extremely cautious, “You don’t need to know about this, son, all you need to do is focus on your studies. With me here in the house, there’s nothing to worry about. You absolutely should not join any mercenary organizations again. I only have one son, if something were to happen to you, how would I be able to live?”
“It would be pretty good if you didn’t.”
“That’s not anyway to talk. Everything I’m doing is for your good, for you! You must not walk down the wrong path, understand?”
“You’re the one who’s treading down the wrong path, and you still have the nerve to lecture me?”
“Don’t spout nonsense, I’m walking down the right path! That’s enough. Let’s not argue anymore. I recently made some money. I’ll transfer you a hundred thousand for spending money first. If you need more, just let me know.”
Qiao Jiasen frowned, “You made money? How? How much did you make?”
“You don’t need to worry about how I made it. All you need to know is that it’s legal.”
Qiao Haidong looked extremely serious, “I wouldn’t do anything illegal or criminal. Our money is made honestly!”
Skepticism was written all over Qiao Jiasen’s handsome face, “I don’t believe you.”
“Son, whether you’re meeting friends or just going out, don’t be stingy with your spending. I have money. You just need to spend it. Out in the world, boys need to be generous. Show that you can spend money so that others will respect you. Do you understand?”
“I don’t.”
“Stop trying to aspire to be an assassin or a successor, they’re just lying to you. In this world, the one who cares about you the most is me, your dad. You can’t trust anyone else. Always be on guard. But, especially Qiao Yin, even if she is your sister, she was not born from the same mother. She can be crafty, so you should be wary of her, understand?”
“I didn’t hear.”
The caring look on Qiao Haidong’s face froze, “You–”
“I’m starving. I’m going to eat.”
“Hey, Jiasen, I haven’t finished speaking–”
Qiao Jiasen dismissed him without a second thought, burying his head to eat.
The training intensity of these past few days left him especially hungry.
Seeing his ravenous feeding, Jiang Huiru helped him select dishes while gently patting his back.
But when Jiang Huiru’s hand hit a bruise, Qiao Jiasen recoiled with a painful grunt.
Jiang Huiru stopped at once, anxiously asking, “Son, what’s wrong?”
“Just move away from me.”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t like others being too close to me.”
Jiang Huiru promptly began to shed tears, “Am I also ‘others’? Am I? I was the one who gave birth to you, raised you, and now you can’t even stand me sitting next to you?”
“No, you cannot.”
