Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Asking the Ancestor for Advice
Cao Jiadong, upon hearing this, hung his head in defeat, looking utterly miserable.
Seeing him stammer, Xia Xin hastily said, “Ancestor, Mr. Cao, you two chat, I’ll go prepare some hot water.”
Jiangli nodded, “Good.”
Xia Xin scurried off.
Once he left, Jiangli turned to Cao Jiadong and asked, “Now that it’s just the two of us, can we talk?”
Cao Jiadong’s eyes reddened even more, and he looked somewhat aggrieved, “The Qin Family, the Qin Family wants to ask me for money…”
...
Jiangli raised an eyebrow, “How much?”
“They want me to transfer all the properties under my name to Yueyue…” Cao Jiadong said hoarsely, recounting the events that had taken place to Jiangli.
When Qin Guoxiang brought up this matter, Cao Jiadong knew that they were after his wealth.
It was nothing more than wanting to use his fortune to resolve the current crisis of the Qin Family.
Mr. Cao loves his children, and since Cao Jiadong was his eldest son and the child he cherished the most, he gave Cao Jiadong a substantial amount of capital early on.
The assets in Cao Jiadong’s hands added up to a significant sum of money.
Qin Guoxiang suggested that Cao Jiadong transfer this money to Qin Yue’s name first.
If so, even if Mr. Cao turned his back on him in the future, he wouldn’t be able to get the money back.
Allegedly, this was to ensure Qin Yue’s benefit.
But Cao Jiadong knew they were targeting his property.
“I, I really didn’t expect them to be this kind of people…” Cao Jiadong felt his world crumbling, “If they had spoken to me directly and asked for help, I would have agreed without hesitation, but they actually wanted to trick me like this!”
Cao Jiadong wasn’t a bad person.

He genuinely liked Qin Yue.
If the Qin Family had been upfront from the start and asked for his help, he would have agreed without a second thought.
But the Qin Family chose this path.
This was something Cao Jiadong couldn’t accept.
Jiangli asked, “So how did you handle it?”
“I refused…” Cao Jiadong straightforwardly refused, as much as he liked Qin Yue, he didn’t want to be manipulated like that.
If the Qin Family could scheme against him for the sake of profit now, what about the future?
Qin Yue also disagreed, and openly supported Cao Jiadong on the spot, failing to understand why her parents were doing this.
Qin Guoxiang and Ye Xiuyun became somewhat agitated, still insisting it was for Qin Yue’s good.
It wasn’t until Cao Jiadong showed them the emails on his phone that they fell silent.
Only then did Qin Yue understand what her parents were truly after.
In the end, the Qin Family parents even berated Cao Jiadong, calling him irresponsible, ungrateful, and even labeled him an illegitimate child, saying they would never marry Qin Yue off to him, and they kicked Cao Jiadong out.
Cao Jiadong couldn’t accept all this, and without realizing it, he found his way to Jiaoyang Temple.
“Master, what should I do now?” Cao Jiadong wiped the corner of his eyes, sat on the chair, and began to sob softly.
So much had happened today, and each and every incident was like a bolt from the blue, Cao Jiadong felt almost blasted to smithereens.
Jiangli glanced at him and passed him a tissue from the side, “Aren’t you doing well? If this upsets you, just refuse. Xia Xin has told me that you have the freedom to marry here, without parental commands or the matchmaker’s words. Whether you want to stay together in the future is up to you to decide.”
Cao Jiadong, immersed in his emotions, didn’t catch the oddity in Jiangli’s words and shook his head, “It’s not that simple…”
If the Qin Family clearly refuses to marry Qin Yue off to him, the two of them are unlikely to marry smoothly.
This matter will also become like a thorn in both their hearts.
