novelNot Blessed (1)

She didn't carry any hopes for Ding Jiayi to begin with. Thankfully, the triplets didn't know about the existence of their maternal grandmother. Otherwise, Qiao Nan would feel uncomfortable in her heart if they kept calling for her.
Anyway, the children and Ding Jiayi didn't care for each other. She didn't need to worry that the three children would feel hurt.
After thinking for a while, Qiao Nan didn't reject Ding Jiayi or promise her anything. She only used a different way to let Ding Jiayi have the chance to know more about the triplets' situation.
Qiao Nan took out her mobile. There were a bunch of photos of the three children in her mobile album. There were some of the three children playing, running, rolling, eating, and playing with water.
Ding Jiayi could pretty much find the corresponding photos of what she thought of in Qiao Nan's mobile."This is Da Bao. This is Er Bao. San Bao is the only girl among the three children. Da Bao and Er Bao know they are older brothers and will usually take care of San Bao. Look at this photo. San Bao is holding Da Bao's favorite toy."
"The little girl has a bad temper and is pampered by everyone in the family. This toy was Da Bao's at first. In order to provoke Da Bao, she insisted on snatching it away from him. Da Bao is good-tempered and gave his toy to San Bao. Da Bao then played with another toy."
There were so many people in the family who pampered San Bao. Qiao Nan was the only exception.
Qiao Nan expressed that if she were to pamper San Bao like her parents-in-law, San Bao would become lawless.
Besides her, Zhai Sheng would also be fierce toward San Bao. It was a pity that Zhai Sheng didn't have as much time and opportunity to take care of the three children at home as Qiao Nan did.
When Zhai Sheng wasn't at home, Qiao Nan could only play both the roles of a stern father and benevolent mother.
Upon hearing Qiao Nan talking about the three children happily, Ding Jiayi opened her mouth but suppressed the words that had reached her throat.
Wasn't San Bao just a cheeky girl? They still had the cheek to give her the nickname of San Bao so that it was similar to their two sons.
How was a girl as good as a son? A little wretched girl even dared to snatch a toy away from her biological brother.
If she had seen this situation, she would have long lectured her.
It was just that the Zhai family wasn't the Qiao family. Ding Jiayi, an outsider, didn't have the right to say anything. The Zhai family was willing to pamper their little granddaughter. This had nothing to do with Ding Jiayi. Ding Jiayi didn't need to make her presence known in the Zhai family and shamelessly get involved in the Zhai family's matters.
Of course, it was also because Qiao Nan's attitude toward Ding Jiayi had hardened recently that Ding Jiayi could only become softer. How would she dare to go against Qiao Nan and say things that she didn't like to listen to?
Ding Jiayi wasn't blind. One look at Qiao Nan's expression and she knew that although Qiao Nan was complaining verbally that San Bao was bad-tempered, she didn't mind it at all. On the contrary, she doted on her a lot.
Aside from when San Bao snatched Da Bao's toy away did Qiao Nan's tone sound a little disapproving, when Qiao Nan mentioned that Da Bao and Er Bao gave in to San Bao and took care of her often, Qiao Nan didn't seem to object to this at all.
What did children know?
The reason why Da Bao and Er Bao treated San Bao well must be because someone had taught them to do so. Undoubtedly, this person was Qiao Nan, their biological mother.
Ding Jiayi didn't dare to say anything. However, she secretly felt heartache for Da Bao and Er Bao, her two grandsons.
She felt that her two grandsons were as pitiful as her, being bullied by Qiao Nan. They were in the same boat.
Ding Jiayi couldn't help but think how good it would be if she had given birth to Da Bao and Er Bao and Qiao Zijin and Qiao Nan weren't her daughters.
She, Da Bao, and Er Bao weren't lucky. She couldn't have two good-looking sons. These two children also didn't have the blessing to be born to her and receive her care and love.
"These were their photos when they were one year old. Photos earlier than these would only be stored on my home computer. There is limited space in my mobile's memory. It can be full easily with just a couple of photos or videos."
It was only because Qiao Nan was so immersed in her children's charms that she could talk so much to Ding Jiayi.
As she looked through the photos of her children's daily lives, Qiao Nan felt like she was reviewing their growth process. She enjoyed it so much that she didn't remember to hate Ding Jiayi.
"What else do you want to know? You can tell me. I'll let you know now."
In short, Ding Jiayi didn't even need to think about meeting the triplets, let alone meet them.
She didn't want her three children to suffer the same pain as she had under Ding Jiayi.
Even if Da Bao and Er Bao were boys which she liked, based on the fact that they were born to her, Qiao Nan knew that Ding Jiayi would dislike Da Bao and Er Bao as they had a mother like her, whom she hated.
No matter where her three children went, there were always people vying to hug them and get closer to them.
On what basis should she let the three children return to their grandmother's house so that Ding Jiayi could roll her eyes at them?
Don't think that the children were young and didn't know anything. In reality, children's smartness could exceed adults' imagination at times. Children were sensitive and could always feel who treated them well and who disliked them at the first instance. They would also know how to pursue good fortune and avoid disasters.
Qiao Nan didn't want to let her three children have an opportunity to be exposed to this at Ding Jiayi's.
The three children could be happier and the rate that they were growing could be slowed down.
"I want to listen to the three children's voices."
Ding Jiayi hesitated for a while. She could only give up after confirming that it was impossible for Qiao Nan to let her see the three children.
She used her IQ and tried to think of the topics that she could chat with Qiao Dongliang as much as possible, then grasped those entry points well and mastered the content of the chat.
She couldn't possibly be speechless and stop the conversation when Qiao Dongliang was speaking with fervor on a topic that she brought up.
If such a situation were to happen, she might as well not contact Old Qiao in the first place.
If the two of them lost contact for a long time, Old Qiao couldn't possibly hate her so badly that he didn't want to see her face at all, just like when he first left home.
If she managed to contact him but Old Qiao felt that she was helpless as she still refused to realize her error and couldn't even like the three cute children, their relationship would definitely worsen.
After Ding Jiayi made the request, Qiao Nan would always think of ways to satisfy Ding Jiayi as long as she didn't get to meet the three children in reality.
