Chapter 12 Condition

Qiao Yuqi was locked up for three days, and besides a mouth of water, she'd never seen a grain of rice. And on the third night, she was so hungry that she could hardly breathe. Just then, the door opened from the outside. It was Qiao Wenyu. Looking at Qiao Yuqi's haggard appearance, she couldn't hold back her laughter, “Yuqi, I heard from brother-in-law that you wanted a divorce. I didn't know you'll make such a huge fuss about it.” “What are you doing here?” Qiao Yuqi clenched her teeth. “You think I wanna come? Dad told me to come over and persuade you after hearing about your affairs. “Persuade her, again? Didn't you guys sell Yong'an Group already? Why? Do you still need me as a steppingstone?” “Well, you can't just say that, but with a good son-in-law, we and dad can live a more comfortable life, no?” Qiao Yuqi finally learned that Qiao Wenyu did not come to persuade her at all, but to see her as a laughingstock. “If there's nothing else you wish to say, get lost!” she snarled. “Come on, don't be like that! Yuqi!” Qiao Wenyu's expression was disingenuous. “Deep down, I agree with you. What's the point of staying together if there's no affection between you and brother-in-law? So, you've got to hang in there...” “What are you yapping about in front of your sister, Wenyu?” Mo Jingwen voice sounded from behind. Qiao Wenyu's expression changed within a second, putting away her sinister and malicious side. “Jingwen,” she greeted, smiling innocently. “My sister is too stubborn, so I was just trying to persuade her!” Mo Jingwen sighed helplessly, “If only your sister is as sensible as you.” Qiao Wenyu stole a greedy glance at Mo Jingwen and said, “You're so nice. I'm sure she'll understand.” “Mm!” Mo Jingwen nodded half-heartedly. “Why don't you go home first? I need to speak with your sister.” Qiao Wenyu looked daggers at Qiao Yuqi before turning away unwillingly. “Alright, I'll make a move.” Qiao Yuqi snorted inwardly at the scene before her. Only a shallow woman like Qiao Wenyu would fall for a jerk like Mo Jingwen, perfect match indeed! As the door shut again, Mo Jingwen helped Qiao Yuqi up to her feet. “Qiao Yuqi, do you really wanna divorce me so bad?” Qiao Yuqi ignored him. Wasn't it obvious through her actions? “Fine!” Mo Jingwen paused. “I can promise you a divorce. But you know, our company is not doing well, and the case with Yuandong Group wasn't successful. Do you think you can walk away that easily?” Qiao Yuqi gritted her teeth and demanded, “What do you want?” Mo Jingwen was stilled for a while before replying, “I'll give you a way out, and, it's the only way out. That is, I'll let you out and give you a job. I'll let you go if you make up for the loss we have incurred.” “What do you mean by make up for the loss? You have to give me a number?” The number of hardships she had went through made her smarter not to believe in Mo Jingwen easily. “Not much, just a few tens of millions. You just have to negotiate a few big deals for me and you'll returned, isn't it?” “I want to sign a written pledge!” said Qiao Yuqi. “Sure!” Mo Jingwen cooperated surprisingly. He rose and went over to the study table, found a paper and wrote a pledge, which was then handed over to Qiao Yuqi. “Here, how is it?” Qiao Yuqi read through twice to make sure there were no problems before she finally signed it. “When do I start to work?” “Tomorrow morning.”
