"Young Master Qiao's wife," Gao Qiang gasped. "Young Master Qiao is demanding a betrothal gift, and it's for his wife. So Jiali asked his wife to borrow the money, just to give it back to Young Master Qiao?" Gao Qiang had to admit, he was impressed by that maneuver. "Did she agree to lend it to you?"
"She didn't agree at first, but then she did." Xu Jiali wrapped her arms around Gao Qiang's neck.
Gao Qiang leaned down and kissed her on the forehead. "What did she want in exchange?"
"She wants me to go with her to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow." Xu Jiali felt very guilty. They were concerned about her health, but she had used her own well-being to pressure them.
"Is she sick?" Gao Qiang asked.
"No, my stomach problems flared up." Xu Jiali shook her head. It was no secret that she had stomach problems.
Gao Qiang's face filled with tension. "Why did they flare up all of a sudden?"
