Chapter 2114: Unlucky


Furthermore, how long ago was this matter? Ding Jiayi didn’t remember that Qiao Nan had also lived in this house for a long time. “Old Qiao, let’s lead a good life and stop making trouble, alright? You could discuss anything with me. I’ll listen. Old Qiao, you have to know that we will be spending a lot of time together in the future. Qiao Nan… Alright, treat it that I wasn’t good to Qiao Nan in the past, but that’s all in the past.”


“It’s not that I’m trying to be wise now, but if I didn’t manage Qiao Nan in the past and prevent her from finding a man to marry casually, do you think a man with good conditions like Zhai Sheng would be able to fancy Qiao Nan? Would Qiao Nan have the chance to marry Zhai Sheng? Let me tell you. Qiao Nan’s biggest blessing in this lifetime is that she has a mother like me who brought her luck. If not for me, she wouldn’t have the chance to become the chief’s wife and live in the capital.”


Qiao Nan had good days like today as she had depended on her. If Qiao Nan dared to be unfilial toward her in the future, G.o.d would definitely be intolerant and take back everything Qiao Nan had now, causing her to be unhappy.


How many mothers in this world could help their daughters be the chief’s wife? Qiao Nan was lucky to have been born to her. She didn’t give birth to other daughters. See? None of them could marry Zhai Sheng.


“Old Qiao, you have to think of it this way. In the TV show ‘Journey to the West’, Tang Seng had to go through many sufferings before obtaining the sacred texts. Qiao Nan suffered in the past. That was fine. As long as she’s living better than anyone else now, isn’t that enough? Isn’t Qiao Nan more blessed than a lot of people now?” At least, she was more blessed than her. She couldn’t compare to her at all.


When she was at the Ding family, her life wasn’t as comfortable as Qiao Nan’s. In fact, she suffered more than Qiao Nan. After looking at Qiao Nan, she looked back at herself. Qiao Nan suffered for forty years. However, she was going to lead a glorious life for the remaining forty years. When she was at the Ding family, she suffered for twenty years. After marrying Old Qiao, she continued to suffer for a few years.


It wasn’t easy for them to be nearly successful. However, after giving birth to Qiao Nan, her life was immediately beaten back to its original shape. Until now, in order to please Old Qiao and appease him, she could only throw tantrums at Zijin and ask for two hundred thousand yuan. With her as an example, what was Qiao Nan dissatisfied with?


As humans, one had to cherish one’s life and be grateful. She was to be blamed for not teaching Qiao Nan well when Qiao Nan was young. Otherwise, how would Qiao Nan have the habit to be hypocritical?


Once Ding Jiayi said these words, everybody would have to concede defeat to her. Qiao Dongliang suddenly remembered that after confirming that Qiao Nan was going to marry Zhai Sheng, he went to see Qiao Nan. Back then, Qiao Nan said that the reason why she could marry Zhai Sheng was because of her personal luck. It had nothing to do with others, especially Ding Jiayi’s harshness toward her. That wasn’t the original condition to fulfill her happiness.


Back then, Qiao Dongliang only treated it as Qiao Nan having thought too much. Because of the past, she had said such ridiculous words. It was when Ding Jiayi said something similar did Qiao Dongliang realize that Qiao Nan’s understanding of Ding Jiayi was deeper than him. Look. Ding Jiayi didn’t seem to think so.


She used to treat Nan Nan so badly in the past but still felt that she was really meritorious. Without her, it was impossible for Nan Nan to marry Zhai Sheng and have such good happiness now. This wasn’t the first time this topic was brought up. However, it was the first time that Qiao Dongliang found it ridiculous. “If that’s the case, the content of our chat last time is correct. The person you’re really biased toward isn’t Zijin but Nan Nan. You couldn’t bear to be cruel toward Zijin, thus the person who became the chief’s wife is Nan Nan. Could this be considered no pain, no gain? If Nan Nan should thank you, what do you think Zijin should think of you?”


Wonderful. Such an explanation was wonderful. He gave it one hundred marks.


“I…” Once Qiao Zijin was involved, Ding Jiayi couldn’t answer. If she had long known that by managing Qiao Zijin ruthlessly and making her life a little more difficult in the past, she would have a chance to marry Zhai Sheng after the age of forty, she would have definitely done so.


Who was Chen Jun? He couldn’t compare to Zhai Sheng at all. However, she didn’t know that being fierce toward Qiao Nan actually helped her in the end. If she had known earlier, this honor and treatment would definitely belong to Zijin.


“Our conversation is over. I’m tired and want to rest. You should watch your TV now as well. Also, I’m used to sleeping alone in this room. I don’t want another person to squeeze with me. If you really want to, you can clean up the study room and live there yourself.” No matter how disappointed he was with Ding Jiayi, Qiao Dongliang wasn’t the kind of person who could be completely unsympathetic to Ding Jiayi.


The room Qiao Nan had lived in in the past was extraordinarily small and cramped. He only wanted Ding Jiayi to experience Qiao Nan’s sufferings back then. He thought that in this way, Ding Jiayi would cultivate her morals and no longer scold Qiao Nan like she had in the past.


It was a pity that his method wasn’t effective at all.


Ding Jiayi had already stayed in the living room for the entire summer. It was nothing to let her stay in the study room. The study room couldn’t be bigger than the living room. Furthermore, the Qiao family only installed a large air conditioner in the living room.


Ding Jiayi had been staying in the living room all summer. This caused Ding Jiayi to be the most comfortable person in the Qiao family.


Sigh… How was Ding Jiayi willing to accept such a result? She had already forked out two hundred thousand yuan. She didn’t expect Old Qiao to accept the money but was still angry at her. It didn’t seem like his anger was appeased. As such, Ding Jiayi got neither the person nor the money.


Ding Jiayi stomped her feet and complained to Qiao Zijin, “Zijin, your dad is becoming more out of hand. He has already accepted the money but refuses to let me return to the room. As a man, where is his backbone? He really doesn’t want to reconcile with me and return me the money.”


Old Qiao was only taking the money and not doing anything.


“Who asked the both of you to be a couple?” They were both horrible. No wonder the elderly often said that people of the same family had similar personalities and temper. Her parents’ greedy faces were exactly the same. A few days ago when she ordered takeaway, didn’t her mom eat her food while remaining angry at her?


When she no longer ordered takeaway and her mom started preparing her own meals again, she similarly didn’t prepare her share. Upon thinking how she had such a shameless pair of parents, Qiao Zijin only felt that she was too unlucky.
