The Legitimate Daughter Doesn’t Care!-Chapter 397

Xu Xinduo glanced at the scars on Qiao Nian’s body and suddenly closed her mouth.

She was still not as harsh as Tong Yukai.

Then again, everyone in the Tong family weren’t exactly little white rabbits(1) either.

(T/N: Used to refer to someone who is pure, not cunning and perhaps innocent)

Qiao Nian looked at Xu Xinduo with a poker face and asked, “Your parents are still in a bad relationship these years, aren’t they?”

“Is it something you should care about?”

“It wasn’t Tong Yukai who made me bankrupt.”

“…”

“Tong Yukai didn’t care about me back then. I asked him to try investing, but he didn’t. Despite having the power to be able to help me just by giving me a simple command, he didn’t. He stole my woman and he wasn’t going to help me anyways, so I said a few things that might have pissed him off. Besides, Tong Yukai is not a good person anyways, but Yin Hua believed that he was willing to do anything for her.”

Xu Xinduo knew that the relationship between Tong Yukai and Qiao Nian was complicated at that time. She even felt that Tong Yukai was a little inauthentic.

Tong Yukai pursued Yin Hua generously as he couldn’t care less about the fact that Yin Hua and Qiao Nian were secretly in love. He probably already knew about the duo’s relationship, but he just pretended that he was unaware of it. Then, he sent Yin Hua flowers, invited her to dinner, even investing in movies and TV series for her.

Tong Yukai seemed to be a mere investor at first as he did bet a lot of money on Qiao Nian. Yin Hua only knew about it after some time had passed.

At this time, the chain of interest between Qiao Nian and Tong Yukai was already very deep. It was also not something that could be broken off that easily.

Qiao Nian endured Tong Yukai’s blatant pursuit at first; he could reluctantly accept it as long as Tong Yukai continued to invest.

Yin Hua bluntly stated that Tong Yukai was her ex-boyfriend and she didn’t want to get back together with him. However, Qiao Nian expressed that Tong Yukai was doing it for Yin Hua’s well-being, as he hoped that Yin Hua could take on more dramas.

This was the point of conflict between Yin Hua and Qiao Nian.

The summary of the situation was also basically the extent of the knowledge she had about Tong Yan’s parents.

Xu Xinduo didn’t know how Tong Yukai turned the tide in the later period. In her opinion, it was a dead end. It would be odd for Yin Hua to not hate Tong Yukai, so how did the two end up getting married instead?

Xu Xinduo couldn’t help but be confused, “Why are you telling me this?”

“I’m only telling you because I feel guilty towards what I did to you,” Qiao Nian scratched his cheek with his fingers as he looked towards the gate. He continued, “I was crazy at that time— I had everything I wanted and more, so to lose all of that in a single moment, I went insane. I only had one thought in mind, and that is if I was in a bad situation, no one deserves to be happy either.”

This kind of madness was similar to Mu Qingyao’s.

Xu Xinduo looked at Qiao Nian and suddenly laughed. He then said, “You don’t seem to know your ex-girlfriend.”

Qiao Nian felt strange when he heard her reaction, so he asked, “What?”

“She’s a very smart woman; a research is sufficient to know the things you said.”

“That’s why I produced a lot of evidence that is enough for her to believe me.”
