Chapter 2124: I Canât Do This
Lin Huizhen had talked with Father Qiao.
Although Father Qiao knew that Qiao Anxin had done something bad, she was still his biological daughter. He couldnât possibly just let her suffer.
Although Qiao Mianmian was his adopted daughter, Father Qiao knew very well that she was very filial to him.
That was why he pleaded for Qiao Anxin.
Father Qiao thought that this was the last time.
If Qiao Anxin continued to do bad things in the future, he wouldnât care anymore.
Qiao Mianmian held her wine glass with a disappointed expression.
At the same time, she felt cold.
She thought that if Father Qiao still pleaded on Qiao Anxinâs behalf despite knowing everything, it would really disappoint her.
She pursed her lips and kept quiet for a few seconds before asking, âDad, you asked me to forgive Qiao Anxin. Then, do you know what she did to me?â
Father Qiao was stunned. He looked at Qiao Mianmianâs expression and hesitated for a while before saying, âI know a little.â
âYou know, but you still want me to forgive her?â
Qiao Mianmian didnât give Father Qiao any face this time. She said coldly, âDad, if you want me to do something else, as long as I can help you, Iâll do my best.
âBut I canât do this.
âNo matter how forgiving and magnanimous I am, itâs impossible for me to pretend that nothing happened after being schemed against time and time again. Itâs fine if you think Iâm petty, or that Iâm not humane enough, but I canât fulfill your request.â
Father Qiaoâs expression stiffened.
He thought Qiao Mianmian wouldnât reject him.
He raised her.
But even if Qiao Mianmian rejected him, he couldnât say anything.
He knew very well that Qiao Anxin had gone overboard.
It was normal for Qiao Mianmian to refuse to forgive her.
But Lin Huizhen panicked at Qiao Mianmianâs attitude.
She thought that, as it was Father Qiaoâs birthday, Qiao Mianmian wouldnât reject his request.
She didnât expect Qiao Mianmian to reject him so directly.
She didnât give Father Qiao any face.
If it was in the past, Lin Huizhen wouldâve scolded her.
But now, she didnât dare.
Qiao Mianmian was no longer the person she used to be.
Qiao Mianmianâs words were enough for them.
Lin Huizhen didnât dare to offend her and could only curry favor with her.
She immediately turned around and gave Qiao Anxin a look.
Then, she smiled and said, âMianmian, Anxin is young and insensible. She did something wrong. Your dad said just now that weâve already punished her, and she wonât dare to do anything rash in the future.
âDonât stoop to her level.
âIâll get Anxin to apologize to you now.â
She then said coldly, âAnxin, hurry up and apologize to your sister! Promise her that you wonât make her angry again.â
Qiao Anxin bit her lip. She looked as if someone was forcing her to die on the battlefield.
