novelA Problem
| ← Ch.2195 | Ch.2197 → |
Ding Jiayi was truly happy about Qiao Dongliang returning.
"Mom..." Qiao Zijin was upset. In the past, her mom would have thought of such a plan without her even probing. Now, she had already analyzed the situation for her mom. Why was her mom still hesitating? Did her mom really want to live such a hard life with her dad in Ping Cheng? Was she crazy?
Her mom was never this way when they were younger. It really seemed like her mom had become an 'old foggy' and was now confused about many things."Mom, trust me. Once you come to the capital, Qiao Nan and I will take care of you and you'll definitely be able to live the way you dreamed of when you were younger. Don't take Qiao Nan's attitude to heart. No matter how much she dislikes you, she still has to support you. It's only right for children to support their parents, after all. It's not something Qiao Nan can run away from. Mom, Qiao Nan doesn't want to acknowledge you and she doesn't care for you. I don't know why you're still hesitating. How can Ping Cheng compare with the capital?"
It was truly strange that her mom had not agreed to her suggestion right away. It was like she was possessed.
In recent years, none of them in the Qiao family had been the least bit normal. Even their tempers had become strange.
"I know. I know. I heard everything you said. Alright. I'm hanging up." It was not that she had not been moved. It was just that it wasn't so difficult to make a decision on something as important as this, especially since she knew that Qiao Dongliang was about to return. Ding Jiayi felt as though her earlier loneliness was on the verge of dissipating. It was really a little difficult for Ding Jiayi not to be paranoid since she was living such a comfortable life now.
It was all Qiao Nan's fault. Ding Jiayi had always felt that Qiao Nan had forgotten all about her family after marrying into the Zhai family. But later, Qiao Dongliang had told Ding Jiayi that Qiao Nan had not actually forgotten about the Qiao family. In fact, she had continued sending money back to the Qiao family. It was just that Ding Jiayi had not known about it before the lawsuit.
Because of what Qiao Nan did, Qiao Zijin wanted to encourage Ding Jiayi to move to the capital so that she would be close to Qiao Nan. In that way, Qiao Nan would never be able to leave her in the lurch again. But Ding Jiayi didn't really believe Qiao Zijin about that. After all, the heavens were always watching one's actions. Even Ding Jiayi herself had a sense of whether Qiao Nan would abandon her.
Given how Qiao Nan had continued to send two thousand yuan back home even with such a situation, Qiao Nan would definitely not leave her to die in the hospital without helping her if she were to really fall ill, whether it was for her or for Zhai Sheng's reputation.
"..." Upon hearing the beeping sounds at the other end of the call, Qiao Zijin felt as though she was so frustrated that all her hair was about to fall off. Ever since that 'takeaway saga', her mom's behavior had become very strange. After that incident, no matter how much effort she put into coaxing her mom, her mom was no longer the same person. This time too. Her mom had even dared to hang up on her! She had really lost all status and position in this family and had even become the person of the least importance!
There was no way Qiao Zijin could accept falling from being the most important to the least important person in the family.
"I really don't believe that both of you want to be good parents to Qiao Nan and that I'm the only bad guy here." Qiao Zijin scolded as she looked toward the phone. There was no way Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi had suddenly changed for the better. What she did believe was that Qiao Nan would definitely remember what they had done to her in the past. Would Qiao Nan really not mind how Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi had treated her in the past?
If Qiao Nan refused to acknowledge her as an elder sister, her parents had better not expect to be a happy family with Qiao Nan either!
Qiao Dongliang's attitude had changed, and even Ding Jiayi had started to place less emphasis on her. Qiao Zijin felt a rage burning within her given the change in both her parents, so much so that she tossed and turned in bed, unable to go to sleep. It was only until a certain incident happened that Qiao Zijin's dissatisfaction and envy of Qiao Nan reached a whole new level.
"What? Chief Zhu willed everything of the Zhu family to our Nan Nan? Are you sure? Our Nan Nan doesn't really know Chief Zhu well. They've probably only met once." Miao Jing was dumbfounded when she heard about Zhu Chengqi's will.
Ever since Miao Jing had accepted Qiao Nan as her daughter-in-law, she had never had any expectations of Qiao Nan. It didn't matter that Qiao Nan had a poor family background since she had a good character and a fair temper. Most importantly, Qiao Nan was the woman whom her son loved, and she was even the mother of her three grandchildren now.
From the beginning, Miao Jing had never nitpicked on Qiao Nan. After Qiao Nan gave birth to her three grandchildren, there were even fewer things for Miao Jing to nitpick on. She truly treated Qiao Nan as her biological daughter.
Miao Jing had already accepted Qiao Nan's 'shortcomings', ignoring those who looked down on Qiao Nan as well as those who mocked their family for having bad judgment. But now, there was suddenly a lawyer telling her that her daughter-in-law who came from the 'countryside' had an especially well-to-do godfather who was just as impressive as her own husband. Not only was that person a chief, but he was also wealthy!
Most importantly, the Zhu family had gotten all their money through legal means, and none of it involved anything illegal. Qiao Nan could inherit it with no worries.
This will mean that Qiao Nan would be the chief's goddaughter as well as an outstanding lady with looks, money, and background. From then on, Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng wouldn't have to worry about not matching up to each other. They would be the best-matched couple!
One was a young chief, while the other was a chief's daughter. The Zhai family's background was good, and so was the Zhu family's. In the past, it had not been easy to find a woman with a background that matched up to Zhai Sheng's. Now, they had one. Coincidentally, Zhai Sheng had already married her, and she had already given birth to three children for him.
"Madam Miao, we haven't made a mistake. Chief Zhu made this will voluntarily in a clear state of mind. He intended to hand everything over to his goddaughter, who's currently your daughter-in-law, Madam Qiao Nan. This is the copy of Chief Zhu's will that our law firm has made. You can take a look at it. This will is definitely valid legally and will stand up to any investigation." The lawyer explained calmly and professionally to Miao Jing, who was still in shock and disbelief.
Actually, it was no wonder that Miao Jing was in such disbelief. When Zhu Chengqi had first found the lawyers to make such a will, even they had wondered if they had heard something wrongly. 𝘧𝗿𝑒e𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞𝙡 - 🅽🅽novel
