"Why are you here?" Qiao Ning's eyes reddened at the sight of Qiao Wenyuan. She hated him and wished to destroy him even at the cost of her own life. 

Qiao Wenyuan asked coldly, "Did Shan come to see you today?"

"Hmph, just keep a tight grip on your daughter." Qiao Ning thought Qiao Wenyuan was here to apologize.

However, Qiao Wenyuan said in the next second, "She will be married to Jingyu in a few days. If she asks you to attend the wedding, you must attend it. Don't let her down. It's only once in her life. I don't want to see her being disappointed."

Qiao Ning said angrily, "Why should I hurt myself to please her? That's your business, not mine. I don't have to appease her."

"If you don't go, I'll stop paying your mother's medical bills. Think about the consequences, carefully," Qiao Wenyuan snorted.

Qiao Ning didn't believe her ears, "Qiao Wenyuan, be a man, okay? Do you really have to corner me like this?"

"You can just go to the wedding ceremony. You're Shan's older sister. You should make her happy, especially when her requirement is not a big deal."

Qiao Ning was furious at his words.

She used to be too stupid and naive. Although she had started her job just a year ago, she had an outstanding performance and a good salary. But she was so naive that she left only a small portion of the salary to herself and gave the rest to Qiao Wenyuan.

He said he would help her save the money, partly for her mother's medical treatment and partly as a dowry when she got married.

She didn't expect it to become a condition for him to threaten her.

"Okay, I'll go." Qiao Ning said through gritted teeth.

Qiao Wenyuan left with satisfaction. Qiao Ning went to her mother's ward. When she saw her scrawny mother lying on the bed, she couldn't help but cry loudly.

After that, she grabbed a taxi to the most prestigious five-star hotel in the city and walked in after showing the invitation letter to the security.

The wedding photo of Xia Jingyu and Qiao Shan was placed at the entrance, and decorated with big golden letters of "Congratulations on the Newly-wed". When Qiao Ning looked at it, she only felt that it was full of irony, and this hotel was where she had lost her virginity that day.  It's like everything was destined.

The wedding was over, and Qiao Ning was already late. She went in to greet Qiao Wenyuan and Maa Faangyun first, indicating that she was here. But they showed cold eyes to her.

Xia Jingyu's parents were a little embarrassed when they saw Qiao Ning, so she forced a smile and said calmly as she could, "I have work to do at the office, so tell the couple I wish them a happy marriage and I'll leave now."

"Okay! Bye!" Mrs. Xia said immediately.

Xia Jingyu had taken Qiao Ning to the Xia Family before, so Mrs. Xia knew she's his ex-girlfriend. It would only be awkward to see her again now, so naturally, Mrs. Xia didn't want her to stay here anymore.

Qiao Ning breathed a sigh of relief. As she approached the door, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the corner of her eye.

Her face immediately turned white and her body involuntarily trembled.

What a coincidence! Why was he here?

Watching the man take a step towards her, her body reacted faster than her mind. She turned around, intending to leave.

But...

"Sister, why are you leaving? You haven't congratulated me in person yet?" Qiao Shan, this bitch, showed up and held her back.

Qiao Ning gritted her teeth in anger and whispered behind her back, "Qiao Shan, let me go. Don't make me do something embarrassing you. You'll surely regret it."

Qiao Shan froze and subconsciously loosed her hand.

Qiao Ning sighed out of relief, until the man's voice came from behind, "Who is this young lady?"

"Mr. Li, this is my sister Qiao Ning." Qiao Shan immediately pulled Qiao Ning over to introduce her to Li Chengyan.
