Qiao Lainan's eyes reddened in an instant, her tone gentle yet aggrieved: "Brother Jiasen, I'm at my wit's end, so I had to find cousin for help. I was forced by my parents to marry a grotesque old man. You probably didn't know about this, right?"
Qiao Jiasen was taken aback; he really didn't know.
He never questioned the mess back home, and Qiao Haidong wouldn't voluntarily tell him.
After all, in Qiao Haidong's eyes, studying was the most important thing; he couldn't possibly let his son be distracted by the family mess.
He didn't even bother about the matters back home anymore.
From Qiao Jiasen's reaction, Qiao Lainan knew he wasn't aware. She burst into tears, "I married a old man who's not only physically, but mentally defective. He beats me every day and doesn't even feed me. My in-laws insult me daily, making me do all their laundry and cooking. If anything's not up to their standard, they'd give me a fierce beating. They've nearly killed me several times!"
