"Enough! Stop talking!" Andrew only felt vexation. He didn't like to discuss this issue. In his opinion, he shouldn't worry about these trivial household affairs.
"It's not a problem for you to ask for money, but you offended Mr. Liu yesterday and made me lose tens of millions of money. You have to take responsibility for this!"
Mia looked at him and found that it was the most important thing today. She didn't care if she get more salt on her wounds,"What does Dad want me to do?"
"It's very simple. I will hold a banquet in the Brewmaster Hotel tonight, and you shall apologize to Mr. Liu in person!" Andrew said shamelessly.
Mia laughed grimly: "Simple? Didn't you read Mr. Liu's thoughts? You sold me once, and want to sell me again?"
"Nonsense! Things are not as dirty as you think!" Andrew was furious.
"Nonsense? Everyone here isn't a fool." Mia sneered. "If you don't take me as a member of the Qiao, why did you pick me up five years ago?"
Her eyes were cold and desperate. This was the first time that Andrew had seen her look like this. He always thought that she was as obedient as her mother, but she was not!
"As I said, things are not what you think!" His tone was obviously soft.
Jessie saw Andrew was about to compromise, so she couldn't help adding fuel to the fire.
"You know that our family is going downhill now. I managed to cooperate with Mr. Liu, but you destroyed this relation. Now I want you to apologize, then you start to show your grievance. Don't forget that it is us who are raising you, and paying for your paralyzed grandmother in the hospital,
Andrew was irritated again by her words. He looked at Mia and said, "Mia my dear, just do me a favor. Mr. Liu is angry now. You just need to apologize to him and everything will be fine!"
Mia felt suffocating. She really wanted to say "I'd rather die" to them, but who cared whether she would die or not.
"Dad!" Mia shouted with all her strength. He was supposed to be the closest person to her in the world, but now he was going to drive her to the dead end. "If you still think I am your daughter, please don't force me!"
Andrew saw her desperation in her red eyes, and for a while, he was a little sorry.
Jessie watched Mia turn around and leave, and couldn't help warning: "Listen, Mia, if you dare not be there tonight, I'll cut off your grandmother's medical expenses. You can have a try..."
Mia left without hesitation. In a fit of anger, Ann chased after her to the yard and grabbed her. "Mia, do not think it's safe for you to marry Mr. Xi. You will be abandoned by man sooner or later just like your mother. This is your destiny!"
Mia shook off her hand with cold eyes, and left without saying a word, as if she had just been bitten by a mad dog!
People came and went in the street, but Mia felt aimless and had nowhere to go when she stood at a crossroad.
She couldn't go to see her grandmother anymore. She was afraid that her swollen face would scare her. She couldn't go to the bar to work either, so she sent Brian a message to ask for leave in the bar, and then turned off the phone.
The summer evening was sultry and hot, and the sun had already hidden, leaving only dark clouds in the sky, which was as depressed as her mood at the moment.
She didn't know how long she had walked until the neon lights on the road began to flash and the traffic became crowded. She stood in front of a glass window of a cake shop with tears running down her face. Her mother went out to buy a cake for her on her fourth birthday and never came back...
