NOVEL NEXT Chapter 60
Chapter 60: Daughters Are Meant to Be Used:
“Forget it, Uncle Wang. What’s done is done. Even if you beat Wang Cheng to death, it won’t change anything.”
“Right now, you should be thinking about how to pay back the 5,000 yuan for him.”
At this moment, Qi Lin appeared as the good guy, smiling kindly as if he truly cared for his classmate while holding Wang Dongcheng back.
“Qi Lin? You—why are you here?”
Wang Dongcheng was shocked to see him.
“It’s just a coincidence. I saw a group of people chasing after Wang Cheng, calling him a pervert and saying they wanted to beat him to death. I was worried something might happen to him, so I stepped in to stop them and dispersed the crowd. After all, we’re classmates—I had to help.”
Qi Lin waved his hand with a smile, looking as if he regarded Wang Cheng as a close brother and was sincerely looking out for him.
Hearing this, Wang Cheng almost died of anger.
What did he mean by stepping in to stop them?
It was this bastard who tripped him! Otherwise, he would have already escaped!
Unfortunately, after being kicked by his father a few times, Wang Cheng was in too much pain to argue or expose Qi Lin’s lies.
Knowing that Qi Lin had once again helped his son, Wang Dongcheng was deeply moved. “Wang Cheng is really lucky to have a good brother like you. If only my son could be as sensible as you, I wouldn’t have to worry so much.”
Seeing that Qi Lin and Wang Cheng knew each other and seemed to be on good terms, Xia Sha sighed. “Fine, fine. Since you all know Qi Lin, I won’t demand compensation for emotional distress or damage to my reputation. Just pay me the 5,000 yuan, and you can take him away.”
She was giving Qi Lin face, making it clear that as long as they paid, she wouldn’t pursue anything further.
“What exactly did my son do? Why does he have to pay so much?”
Wang Dongcheng was heartbroken over the money and asked cautiously.
The moment she heard that, Xia Sha got angry again. “Your son spat chewing gum into a customer’s soup! The customer almost smashed my restaurant! In the end, I had to compensate them with 5,000 yuan. Tell me, should he pay or not?”
“He spat chewing gum into a customer’s soup?”
Even Wang Dongcheng was shocked at how disgusting that was.
“You disgraceful brat! You never do anything good, always up to no good! I’ll kick you to death!”
Furious, he gave Wang Cheng another hard kick.
After venting his anger, a glint flashed in Wang Dongcheng’s eyes as he looked at Qi Lin.
At that moment, many thoughts ran through his mind.
“You all wait here. I need to discuss something with my daughter first.”
Forcing a smile, Wang Dongcheng pulled Wang Siling, who had been silently hiding behind him, outside the restaurant.
“You useless girl, you always cause trouble at home, but now that your brother is in trouble, you don’t even say a word?”
“You and Qi Lin are on pretty good terms, right? See if you can ask him to cover this 5,000 yuan for us.”
He spoke in a hushed voice.
Wang Siling’s face froze. She had never expected her father to pull something like this.
“I—I won’t do it!”
After a brief moment of shock, she shook her head like a rattle, refusing outright.
Qi Lin’s money wasn’t easy to take.
Because of Yu Chen yesterday, she already owed Qi Lin 10,000 yuan and hadn’t even repaid it yet.
And now, her father wanted her to borrow another 5,000 from him?
If this continued, how would she ever pay it back?
By the time she managed to repay everything, Qi Lin would have played her to his heart’s content.
“That’s your brother!”
Hearing her refusal, Wang Dongcheng immediately glared at her.
“Your mother and I don’t have much money. If we use our savings to cover this 5,000 yuan, how will your brother afford college?”
“What about your tuition next year? What about his?”
“Think about it yourself. Either you and your brother drop out next year, or you ask Qi Lin for help now.”
Wang Dongcheng laid down the ultimatum.
Wang Siling’s beautiful eyes filled with panic. Her lips trembled, and she nearly burst into tears.
She was just an obedient girl—why did all these burdens fall onto her fragile shoulders?
“Dad, aren’t you afraid that if I borrow money, I’ll be taken advantage of?”
She choked as she spoke.
Wang Dongcheng sighed, his tone softening slightly. “What father would want his daughter to suffer? But Qi Lin is a good guy, and I can tell he likes you.”
“That kid comes from a billionaire family. If you really end up with him, you’ll definitely have a good life in the future.”
Qi Lin? A good guy?
Wang Siling wanted to tell her father what Qi Lin had done to her.
“But Dad, I already like someone else! Don’t I have the right to choose who I love?”
She sobbed.
“Love? You’re only sixteen and still in high school! Who do you think you’re in love with? That little bastard Yu Chen?”
“Let me make it clear—he will never step foot into our house, let alone date you!”
“Go ask Qi Lin for help right now, or you and your brother can forget about school!”
Wang Dongcheng had run out of patience and shoved Wang Siling back into the restaurant.
At that moment, she felt the most despair she had ever experienced in her life.
Under everyone’s surprised gazes, Wang Siling, with tears streaming down her face, stood pitifully in front of Qi Lin, her watery eyes meeting his.
“Brother Qi Lin, my father doesn’t have enough money right now. Please help our family.”
Hearing his sister begging Qi Lin, Wang Cheng, who could finally speak again, shouted angrily, “Siling, don’t beg this bastard! He set me up!”
“Shut up! Are you trying to make me die from anger?!”
Wang Dongcheng, furious that his disgraceful son was still being stubborn, gritted his teeth and kicked him again.
