Why was it that others could lead a good life, but she only had the share of watching others lead a good life?
This was unfair. She was unwilling to accept this! Heaven didn't help her but let her enemies lead a life so happy that they didn't remember her mother's existence instead. That was fine. She could take action personally and seek justice for both her and her mother.
Zhou Xing believed that she was no longer related to anyone from the Zhou family. Her father had treated her as dead, and they hadn't been together to celebrate the Lunar New Year in ages, especially since her grandpa's and grandma's deaths. When the Zhou family's inheritance was in her hands, the way her father looked at her was as if she was the one who had killed his parents. She had even changed her name.
Traces of Zhou Ying's existence were wiped clean. The one who was alive now was Zhou Xing. As such, how would Qiao Nan have guessed that Zhou Xing was Zhou Ying and that it was Qiao Zijin's daughter who had returned to seek revenge?!
Ding Jiayi felt a headache. She didn't know why, but listening to Zhou Xing's words, she seemed to have seen Qiao Zijin's shadow from that year faintly on Zhou Xing now."That year, your mother... It was really an accident. Your mother... Xingxing, listen to me. If your mother was willing to open her mind that year, the things that followed wouldn't have happened. I really don't wish to see you follow your mother's old road. Grandma only has you as my kin now."
Ten years ago, she had to send her own child off and she nearly didn't survive.
Her only obsession in life now was Zhou Xing, her granddaughter. If something happened to Zhou Xing, she would really lose all courage to live. She could lead a good life in Ping Cheng and help Zhou Xing keep safe everything from the Zhou family only if Zhou Xing was well. This was because all the work belonged to Zhou Xing alone.
"Grandma, I've chatted with you for a long time now. I'll stop now. The sky is turning dark soon. Goodbye, grandma. I'll call you again. I'll return to the bedroom first." Zhou Xing hated listening to Ding Jiayi's words of asking her to give up on revenge.
Give up on revenge? On what basis?
Qiao Nan was the one who did something sorry to her. It wasn't the other way around.
If Qiao Nan had shown a little guilt and tried to compensate her in the ten years her mother had died, she wouldn't have hated Qiao Nan so much. Since Qiao Nan could cause her mother her death and ignore her existence, then no matter what she did to Qiao Nan, it was just the retribution she deserved. She would give up on revenge only if Qiao Nan died first!
Zhou Xing knew that it wouldn't be an easy task to take revenge on Qiao Nan. Qiao Nan was already part of the central government while she was still an underage girl who hadn't stepped into society. The money she had in her hands was only enough for her father and stepmother to be jealous of. However, based on Qiao Nan's wealth, she wouldn't have taken into account that little money she had seriously.
Zhou Xing thought about it. She was still young, so there were very few ways to take revenge on Qiao Nan. Finally, Zhou Xing focused her attention on Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin. f𝔯𝑒e𝓌ℯ𝐛𝑛oѵel - 🅽🅽novel
There was no other reason. Zhou Xing remembered that when her grandparents were still alive a few years ago, her grandmother had felt uncomfortable about how that vixen was treating her badly and had complained about her to her father. Her father didn't rebut but sided with that vixen wholeheartedly. Her grandmother was so angry that her face turned green.
She remembered very clearly that her grandmother was exceptionally angry then and had said, "Forgetting one's mother after having a wife." After a few years, Zhou Xing had a deeper understanding of what this sentence meant.
Thus, she was prepared to take on the path of her stepmother and be Qiao Nan's daughter-in-law. As long as she had Qiao Nan's son's heart in her hands, she could make Zhai Xin do things that could anger Qiao Nan to her death. This would be better than her angering Qiao Nan directly. The latter would feel more agitated easily and pained this way.
Wasn't there a saying that only those one cared about would be able to hurt one the most?
Compared to a daughter-in-law who had emerged halfway, a disobedient son would be the biggest blow and the cruelest torment to Qiao Nan. Like what she told Ding Jiayi, she initially had her eyes on Zhai Yi, not Zhai Xin. Zhai Yi was Zhai Sheng's eldest son and was more valued by the Zhai family. She also heard that Zhai Yi was more outstanding than Zhai Sheng when he was young, and he had a more promising future.
If Zhai Yi became her boyfriend, the entire Zhai family would be hers. At that time, it would be really easy for her to deal with Qiao Nan.
It was a pity that either Zhou Xing was too young or that Zhai Yi was completely uninterested in girls like Zhou Xing. After Zhou Xing had her eyes on Zhai Yi, she tried her best to create many encounters with him. However, after trying for a month, she still hadn't gotten Zhai Yi to remember her face.
Only when she changed her target to Zhai Xin did Zhai Yi start to have an impression of her. Forget it. As long as she could achieve her goal, take revenge on Qiao Nan, and anger her to death, Zhai Xin would do. At the very most, he wouldn't have as great an effect as compared to Zhai Yi.
With Ding Jiayi around, it wasn't difficult for Zhou Xing to understand the Zhai family's situation and how their temperaments were. Thus, she knew that as long as she was recognized by Zhai Xin, even if she was young or if there were countless girls who were older and prettier than her around, Zhai Xin would definitely not be seduced by these women. He was completely different from her father, who had completely forgotten her mother's existence and treated her like an enemy just because her stepmother was a little prettier than her birth mother.
Thankfully, a good man like Zhai Xin would be hers soon.
Zhou Xing was completely unwilling to listen to Ding Jiayi, who disallowed her from doing so. Aside from taking revenge, Zhai Xin was good-looking and had a strong background. In the face of such an outstanding man, it would be a waste not to get him as her husband. She couldn't bear to leave such a good man to someone else.
As to whether close relatives could get married or not, Zhou Xing sneered coldly.
Anyway, not a lot of people in this world would know that she was Qiao Zijin's daughter. In other words, she and Zhai Xin were relatives and she should rightfully call him cousin if she saw him. If there was really a day she got married to Zhai Xin and was pregnant with his child, it would be their blessing if the child was born healthy. If the child was born abnormally, she wasn't to be blamed either. It was all because the child's grandmother had done too many evil deeds and the child had to suffer the retribution now.
No matter what method she used, she would make Qiao Nan receive her retribution!
Hearing Zhou Xing hang up the call and listening to the beeping sound on the phone, the silver-haired Ding Jiayi suddenly squatted down and started sobbing after putting the phone back.
