My Identities Were All Exposed After I Was Pampered by Everyone at My Grandfather’s House! - Chapter 308

308 The Household Account

With Qiao Xin suspended from school indefinitely, Qiao Yue’s school life became more pleasant.

She would go to school and play games with Qiao Ying and Qiao Yu every day. When they came home, she would help Qiao Ying with household management.

For a large household like the Qiao’s, there were many flaws in its management.

The two of them would often work past midnight. Qiao Yu would bring them delicious supper and they would eat together before going to bed.

!!
Today, Qiao Yue and Qiao Ying were sorting out household procurement over the past few years.

They realized there were many mistakes in their procurement over the past few years.

“Look at this, this pen was logged as a gift, but the invoice didn’t match what was in our procurement list. There’s a difference of hundreds of thousands of yuan. Where did the money go?”

Qiao Ying pointed at the discrepancies and showed them to Qiao Yue.

Qiao Ying was very smart. She had only been learning for a few days, and she could already spot accounting problems.

Qiao Yue patted Qiao Ying’s shoulder. “Good job. You needed my hints in the beginning, but now you can spot the problem on your own.”

Qiao Ying scratched her head in embarrassment. “Fifth brother has also worked hard to teach me. If I’m still clueless, I’ll be letting fifth brother down.”

Qiao Yue looked at the accounting problem Qiao Ying pointed out with a smile. “There’s indeed a problem with this. We’ll investigate later where the money went.”

After Qiao Yue looked through household procurement from the past few years, she realized that Tao Xi had used procurement as cover to siphon off a lot of money to fund Qiao Li and Qiao Yi’s business.

Qiao Ying was a little confused because the Qiao family seemed very rich in the past few years, so there was no need to care about a few hundred thousand yuan.

After hearing Qiao Ying’s words, Qiao Yue explained, “The Qiao family doesn’t need to worry about money now, but if this money is used to fund illegal business, the Qiao family will be held accountable. It won’t be good for us.”

Qiao Ying nodded, not fully understanding.

Qiao Ying had never cared about what happened at home. Firstly, because her past experience had made her a little fragile. Secondly, because Qiao Li valued Qiao Xin more and spent most of his money grooming Qiao Xin. He hadn’t paid much attention to Qiao Ying’s development.

Looking at Qiao Ying’s careful expression, Qiao Yue felt a little sad. If it weren’t for Qiao Li’s eagerness to succeed, his two daughters would have good lives and bright futures.

Unfortunately, Qiao Xin was unruly and domineering now while Qiao Ying was overly cautious.

“You’ve been learning well, don’t worry. I’ll let you handle this year’s procurement.”

Qiao Ying opened her mouth wide in shock when she heard this.

The New Year procurement list was already very long and required her to apply everything that she had learned.

But managing all procurement for the year would be even more challenging. This was something that her mother and Tao Xi had worked on together before. And it was now on her alone.

“I… Will I be able to handle it? I’ve just started to manage these things.” Qiao Ying was a little hesitant.

She didn’t know if she could do a good job.

“Don’t worry, it’s not that difficult.” Qiao Yu pushed the door open and entered. “If you need any help, I’ll help you.” Qiao Yu ruffled Qiao Ying’s hair.

Among the younger sisters in the family, Qiao Yu liked Qiao Ying more.

If Qiao Li and his wife hadn’t been negligent back then, that incident would have never happened.

“Thanks. I will do my best.” Qiao Ying turned on her computer as she spoke. “This is the New Year procurement list I’ve prepared. Fifth brother, please take a look.”

Qiao Yue took Qiao Ying’s laptop and started reading the list while eating the snacks that Qiao Yu brought.

Qiao Ying’s list was very detailed. It even included which store to buy which things from and what discounts to use. Based on Qiao Ying’s plan, they would end up below budget for the New Year purchases.

“Well done.” Qiao Yue patted Qiao Ying’s head.

Qiao Ying smiled in embarrassment.

Qiao Yue picked up a cookie and handed it to Qiao Ying. “Eat this. Give yourself a little reward.”

Qiao Ying shook her head. “Fifth brother, there’s a final exam tomorrow morning. I can’t eat anything, or I’ll be so nervous that I’ll throw up tomorrow.”

Qiao Yu and Qiao Yue sighed almost at the same time.

It seemed that Qiao Ying’s affliction could not be cured.

Qiao Yue handed the cookie to Qiao Ying. “I’ll help you settle things tomorrow morning. Eat first.”
