The six million in this card was his working capital, but she had spent it down to just three yuan.
This matter was too embarrassing to mention.
Let the third brother think he was stingy; it was better than being made a fool of himself.
"Second Brother, you're not short on cash, are you?"
Qiao Penghua still remained silent, his face dark.
Qiao Pengjian, as if enjoying the drama, said, "Don't tell me I guessed right?"
"Second and Third, are you listening to me?" Qiao Pengyu, seeing Qiao Pengjian whispering to Qiao Penghua, felt his authority as the eldest brother challenged and was very displeased.
Qiao Penghua glanced at the third brother.
Qiao Pengjian somehow understood that look and immediately behaved.
Qiao Penghua said to Qiao Pengyu, "Big Brother, I heard you, but I really have no money left. She spent the six million down to three yuan. Why don't you cover this amount? The money in this card was my emergency fund."
"Don't you get spending notifications on your phone? Why didn't you keep an eye on her?" Qiao Pengyu strongly disapproved.
"The notifications all went to the spam folder." Qiao Penghua shrugged.
He was sure he hadn't set that up. He could guess who did with his toes.
Qiao Pengjian quickly added, "Last night, she had dinner at a four-star hotel in Goose City and spent three hundred thousand yuan in one meal, charged to my credit card. Big Brother, you need to plug this hole for me too."
Qiao Pengyu couldn't believe it: "How is that possible? She's a hardworking and thrifty good girl. How could she spend three hundred thousand on one meal?"
Spending three hundred thousand on one meal—what kind of family could afford to support that?
There must be some misunderstanding.
Otherwise, she must have been set up.
Qiao Pengjian and Qiao Penghua both looked at Qiao Pengyu. What they cared about now was when their money would be returned.
What Qiao Shiyue had eaten was no longer important.
Seeing Qiao Pengyu frowning, Qiao Penghua added, "Big Brother, you know how Third and I treated Shiyue before. Now we're really strapped for cash. You know our family's situation, Big Brother..."
Qiao Pengyu listened to Qiao Penghua and thought about how the second and third brothers had indeed spoiled Shiyue before. This time, they must be making a fuss because they were out of money.
He took out his phone and transferred one million to each of them.
After transferring the money, he also noticed that his phone hadn't received a deduction notification.
After carefully searching, he found that his messages had also gone to the spam folder.
Digging through the spam folder, he discovered that Qiao Shiyue had actually spent over ten million from his account.
He quickly pinched his philtrum.
One more second and he would have fainted.
Over eight million—what on earth had she used it for?
Qiao Penghua and Qiao Pengjian, seeing their eldest brother suddenly pinching his own philtrum, were startled.
"Big Brother, are you okay?" Qiao Pengjian quickly reached out to steady him.
Qiao Pengyu waved his hand and called his assistant to cancel the supplementary card.
Qiao Penghua and Qiao Pengjian exchanged a glance and quickly guessed what had happened.
Qiao Shiyue must have spent Big Brother's money too, and it looked like a lot.
Qiao Penghua asked, "Shiyue has everything she needs at home and gets fifty thousand in allowance every month. Where does she spend all that money?"
"Enough. This matter ends here. No one is to bring it up again. Shiyue grew up in the mountains. Seeing the dazzling outside world, it's not impossible for her to lose her way occasionally. As her brothers, we need to be patient and teach her properly." Qiao Pengyu started putting on his eldest brother's airs again.
Qiao Pengjian shrugged and said nothing.
He didn't think Qiao Shiyue would change.
