Chapter 1107: Don’t Be So Sure

From this moment on, Qiao Nan truly was part of the southern quad.

“Zijin, have more of the food.” Ding Jiayi noticed that her daughter did not look too well. She did not want other people to laugh at them, so she kept putting food into her bowl.

The food was indeed delicious. One could not have such good food outside. It was a waste not to have them.

Ding Jiayi found it a pity that she was seated at the northern quad instead of the southern quad.

Ding Jiayi was unhappy and perplexed that Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan invited many of the neighbors from the northern quad to the wedding banquet. It was such a waste of money.

If Qiao Nan had so much money and had more to spare, Qiao Nan should give them to her. She would make sure to spend all the money.

Ding Jiayi did not spare a thought for Qiao Nan. The Qiao family did not have any relatives. Although Ding Jiayi’s relatives were still around, she was estranged with them. She was in a similar situation as Qiao Dongliang.

Therefore, Qiao Nan did not have any relatives who could attend the wedding banquet.

If the newlyweds did not invite the neighbors from the northern quad to the wedding banquet, Qiao Nan would be the laughingstock of the quad for not inviting any relatives.

“Of course I will eat them.” Qiao Zijin could feel the stern and unfriendly gazes that were directed at her. However, she could not contain her anger and was aggrieved at the thought that Qiao Nan was basking in glory.

To be honest, Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng had such a smooth wedding. They did not encounter any obstacles.

Her thoughts drifted to her relationship with Chen Jun. It was not simply based on love. There were many other agendas and motives. Qiao Zijin was angry that her love-life was not smooth-sailing.

Not only was her father biased toward Qiao Nan, but even heaven was also biased. Heaven was too nice to Qiao Nan. Why did heaven gift Qiao Nan with all the good encounters while it was so stingy with her?

“Zijin, what did the Chen family say about today’s wedding?” After the meal, Ding Jiayi went back to the Qiao family’s residence together with Qiao Zijin.

They were denied entry to the southern quad, but Qiao Dongliang was able to attend the wedding banquet at the southern quad.

Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin had intended to kick up a fuss so that the Zhai family would be left with no choice but to allow them into the southern quad.

Qiao Nan invited all the neighbors from the northern quad to the wedding banquet, treating them as her parental family. She was also well-known for being the top student in the middle school examination and the college entrance examination. Everyone in the quad was willing to give face to Qiao Nan.

Even if Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin made a din at the wedding, their neighbors would not be bothered with them. Their futile attempts would only make them a laughingstock.

The Chen family’s goal was to be on close terms with Qiao Nan and in turn, build a strong tie with the Zhai family.

Today was Zhai Sheng’s and Qiao Nan’s wedding. Ding Jiayi was worried. How should she answer if the Chen family wanted to attend the wedding banquet?

If the Chen family was denied entry to the southern quad and had to have a meal at the northern quad, she would be thoroughly embarrassed.

Qiao Zijin’s expression darkened. “Don’t worry. They did not say anything.”

“How is that possible? Did they not want to be on close terms with the Zhai family?” Ding Jiayi asked in disbelief. The Chen family did not seem to be easy-going people.

She remembered how the Chen family had trailed right behind Qiao Dongliang, following him all the way to the Shi family’s residence.

Qiao Zijin sighed. “Chen Jun is smart and he is the only son in his family. His parents will listen to him.”

She might have disregarded everything to make a din, but Chen Jun would not do that. He was prideful. He would not do such foolish deeds.

Unless she had gotten a definite answer from Qiao Nan beforehand, Chen Jun would not take the risk to make a din at the wedding with her and allowed the Chen family to be laughed at by everyone.

Qiao Zijin felt that she seemed to be sending the helve after the hatchet. She did not have any self-respect in front of Qiao Nan. Since that was the case, she would rather take the plunge to achieve her aim.

Sadly, she might have given her all until now, but she did not achieve any of her goals.

Ding Jiayi seemed disheartened. “Zijin, you have seen the situation today. Qiao Nan has consolidated her position in the Zhai family. What do you intend to do in the future?”

The wretched girl would not make any allowances for the needs of her relatives. It was useless to create a din.

Divorce?

Given today’s situation, it was hard to tell when Zhai Sheng would divorce that wretched girl.

All that said, when faced with the reality, Ding Jiayi had to admit that the truth was far from what they had imagined.

Qiao Zijin was fuming mad, her nostrils flaring with anger. “Consolidated her position? Don’t be so sure. One’s luck will run out eventually. I don’t believe that she will be lucky forever.”

So what if the people from the southern quad had accepted Qiao Nan? They might have accepted her on account of Zhai Sheng.

Nevertheless, let’s wait and see how her life would turn out in the future.

Today was Qiao Nan’s and Zhai Sheng’s wedding. Apart from Qiao Zijin, there was another woman who was in a foul mood. Unlike Qiao Zijin, she was allowed entry to the southern quad, and because of this, she felt even more frustrated and aggrieved than Qiao Zijin.

“Why did we come back here?” Qi Minlan did not know what to do with her daughter. “It is better if we don’t come back. Coming back will only make you feel worse. In the past, you didn’t…”

Qi Minlan felt that she and her daughter must have committed a lot of evil deeds to have to go through the same sufferings.

Back then, she was not really in love with Zhai Yaohui. But after Zhai Yaohui married Miao Jing, she refused to give up on him.

Although her daughter was more serious in the relationship than her, Qi Minlan knew that Qiu Chenxi did not really love Zhai Sheng.

It was true that no one wanted to work on an unfertilized land, while it was the opposite in the case of a fertilized land.

Ever since Qiao Nan came into the picture, Qi Minlan watched helplessly as Qiu Chenxi invested more and more feelings in Zhai Sheng.

Qi Minlan felt painful at the sight of her daughter and was full of regrets.

If she had known it would turn out like this, she would not think of ways for her daughter to be with Zhai Sheng in the first place.

Now that Zhai Sheng married someone else and Chenxi had grown more attached to him, the pain she felt would be twice the pain she felt back then.

“Mom, stop it. We have already come back and I have witnessed their wedding.” Qiu Chenxi patted her chest, breathless from her heartache. She could not understand why she would ask trouble for herself by coming back to Ping Cheng to witness Zhai Sheng’s and Qiao Nan’s wedding.

Qiu Chenxi had no idea what she wanted to prove by coming back to Ping Cheng, but when she witnessed the bright smile that Zhai Sheng had when he brought Qiao Nan back to the Zhai family’s residence, her heart felt as if it was ripped to pieces.
