Qiao Xin was silent for a moment, trying to digest what Xiao Chen had said to her.

Didn't she hear wrong? She suddenly looked at Xiao Long, but Xiao Long turned his face to Qiao Xin.

"Mr. Han isn't joking right?" Qiao Xin then asked. She was not at all sure if what Xiao Chen said was severe. "I can't believe what Mr. Han is saying,"

"I really mean it, Miss Liu. Believe me if what I say is true. Since we met for the first time, on that day I knew that you were a good woman, you were also weak and fragile. Seeing you sad made me I want to protect you, you are like my own granddaughter. So I thought that it would be very nice if you became my granddaughter-in-law. You will be a perfect match for my grandson, you will definitely be able to make my grandson even better," Xiao Chen said. He then tightly gripped Qiao Xin's hand, his hands looking at Qiao Xin expectantly as if he was begging Qiao Xin to agree to his request.

Meanwhile, Xiao Long appeared to be smiling wryly. He knew that Qiao Xin wouldn't agree to it, especially when his grandfather said that he would get along with that trash woman was something Xiao Long didn't like. How could such a perfect and wealthy figure be compared to that useless trash woman?

Qiao Xin smiled stiffly. She then let go of Xiao Chen's grip and grabbed Xiao Chen's hand.

"Grandfather..." she said then. She had to be careful with this because she couldn't possibly shock Xiao Chen with her words. "Marriage, is not something that can be decided by others. But by the two people who are getting married. Not by the family or anyone else. Moreover, your grandson, Young Master Han is not an easy man. He is very arrogant and very bad. He is far from my criteria, Grandpa. Moreover, I am not even his criteria at all. So I beg you, stop wishing for something impossible like this. Because I can't, Grandpa,"

And Qiao Xin's answer seemed to make Xiao Chen sad. The look on his face was gloomy. He had no idea that Qiao Xin and Xiao Long would refuse his last request.

"Never mind, Grandpa. Stop begging this shameless woman. I've done a lot of things to get her to marry me. But she refused, so Grandpa's request failing wasn't my fault," Xiao Long said later.

"Um, Grandpa, I'll say goodbye first. I have a little business with Young Mr. Han," Qiao Xin finally decided.

Xiao Chen just nodded. He didn't even reply to Qiao Xin's words at all. He looked at Xiao Long with an annoyed expression on his face.

"Young Mr. Han, can we talk? I have something important to talk to you about,"

Xiao Long followed Qiao Xin's footsteps Reluctantly, walking out of his grandfather's room while looking at his grandfather, who seemed to be sleeping. Although it seems that Xiao Long feels strange because his grandfather sleeps so fast.

"If you want to say something say it, I'm not used to talking to rotten trash like you," Xiao Long said.

Qiao Xin seemed to be suppressing her emotions, and then she looked at Xiao Long for a moment. How could she be asked to marry a bad boy like Xiao Long? Of course, Qiao Xin would never be able to do it.

"I'm fine, and I want to get out of the hospital. I asked the administration, but you forbade the hospital to let me out. So, I beg of you, please let me out. I have a lot of things to do and I have to do it soon. ,"

Hearing this, Xiao Long smiled. He didn't expect Qiao Xin to be so bold with him.

"Scum, looks like you've forgotten who you are? That's why you're acting so haughty now. Now listen to me, I won't let you get out of here before you can pay off all you owe me. You can go wherever you want, but you will be escorted by my driver, and again you can go nowhere but come back here as a guarantee that you have to pay the debt for me,"

"So you held me captive in this hospital?" Qiao Xin asked in disbelief.

Xiao Long didn't answer, and he went straight back into his grandfather's room with that arrogant look.

*****

This morning, Qiao Xin was sitting in a tavern. Because her best friend--Zhaou Jia Ming, kept asking to meet her. And of course, just like the agreement Xiao Long had made, today Qiao Xin was escorted by two men dressed in all black with a chauffeur. Qiao Xin let out a long breath, and she even felt like a prisoner now.

Then, she saw a coffee in front of his desk. She just looked at Qiao Xin silently, and even the coffee was getting cold now.

Qiao Xin pondered for a moment, and she remembered many events before she came here. Qiao Xin had tried to apply for a loan from the banks, but no one believed her and wanted to give her a loan. She tried to contact her friends, but they didn't care. None of Qiao Xin's friends were willing to pick up a call from her. She had already made ten job applications. But none of the companies are eager to accept it. Now that Qiao Xin didn't know what to do anymore, she tried to squeeze her trembling hands, and a sob escaped her mouth. Her tears dripped perfectly on the map that she had been holding in her lap.

"Qiao Xin, is that you?" Ji Ming asked.

Qiao Xin looked up at Jia Ming, and then she smiled wryly.

Jia Ming looked at Qiao Xin with a worried expression on his face, and he could see that his best friend had been crying. Meanwhile, Qiao Xin seemed to be cursing herself. She knew two men with the same name, and both of them were the meanest men in the world. Yes, Jia Ming, one is her best friend, and one is her ex-girlfriend.

"What do you want to say? I'm busy, don't have much time," Qiao Xin said.

Jia Ming saw the many job applications in his best friend's hand, and he seemed to be moved too.
