Chapter 1314 Not Giving Her Anything

These words were true. Qiao Nan was not merely brushing off the Qiao family of three.Having been used to wearing the clothes tailored by their mother, Da Bao and Er Bao could not accept other ‘non-mama brand’ clothes.

San Bao was young and liked to imitate others. When she saw Da Bao and Er Bao insist their mother tailor their clothes… Well, San Bao did not want the ready-made bridal gown now. She also insisted her mother make her a beautiful little dress.

The triplets ‘assigned’ this last-minute mission to her. Qiao Nan had been busy with selecting, purchasing, cutting the fabric, and sewing the clothes. She was busier than Zhai Hua, the bride.

At the moment, she had already settled Da Bao’s and Er Bao’s western suits. Her little daughter’s dress was a little tricky. Hence, she had not finished making it.

Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were surprised at Qiao Nan’s words. There were looks of doubts beneath their eyes.

Now, in this era, who would tailor their own clothes? The clothes in the shopping mall were not only good-looking but also inexpensive. It was very convenient to buy clothes.

The Zhai family had its own properties everywhere and did not seem to lack money. Did Qiao Nan need to be so stingy to personally tailor her children’s clothes? Would the clothes that she made look good? Could they be worn by the three children?

Was Qiao Nan afraid that they would ask her for money? Was that why she deliberately made up such a ludicrous lie to bluff them?

Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were unaware of Qiao Nan’s abilities but not Qiao Dongliang. Qiao Dongliang was full of smiles. “Yes, Nan Nan is very skillful in tailoring clothes. The clothes she tailored are both good-looking and durable. It also feels very comfortable wearing them. Da Bao, Er Bao, and San Bao, all of you are very blessed to be able to wear the clothes made by your mom.”

Qiao Dongliang had been Qiao Nan’s father for more than twenty years. He had only worn one set of such clothing before. Thereafter, he had never received any more clothing personally tailored by Qiao Nan.

When Qiao Dongliang said that, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin could only take it that Qiao Dongliang was giving face to Qiao Nan in front of the Zhai family.

Qiao Zijin was holding a tight rein on Ding Jiayi. Hence, this time, Ding Jiayi was very smart. She did not say anything else to berate Qiao Nan. She continued to sit down in an abiding and honest manner.

Qiao Zijin smiled and said to Qiao Nan, “Nan Nan, in that case, go ahead and be busy with your stuff. Mom and Dad are both tired. I will accompany them to the hotel and let them have a good rest tonight. We’re family. We can talk again tomorrow. It’s not too late either. Nan Nan, Dad, Mom, and I will leave for the hotel then.”

“Sure, goodbye.” It was rare for Qiao Zijin to know what was good for her. Qiao Nan almost did not know who Qiao Zijin was anymore. In order to achieve her aims, shouldn’t Qiao Zijin utilize all ways and means and kick up a fuss to stay behind? Usually, she would not care whether she or others lose face.

The Qiao family of three was so peaceful and normal today. Be it Qiao Zijin or Ding Jiayi, they had been very cooperative. That was extremely surprising to everyone.

Old Master Zhai and Zhai Yaohui, who came home late, did not even meet the Qiao family of three.

After having dinner, when Qiao Nan was bringing the triplets to bed, Miao Jing told Qiao Nan. “Your sister has ‘matured’ in her mindset and intellect. You have to be more careful in the future.” Miao Jing vaguely saw the shadow of the Qi Minlan from the past in Qiao Zijin.

Although Qiao Zijin did not kick up a fuss, it did not mean that she had turned into someone better. At most, she was ‘wiser’ now. Unlike the past, she did not use Ding Jiayi as a gun and do distasteful matters that would make others laugh.

This time, Qiao Zijin restrained herself. She was not as direct and predictable as in the past. She had become more sinister and gloomy.

Given this change of Qiao Zijin, it was only fearful that she would become more difficult to deal with in the future and would create many troubles for Qiao Nan.

Qiao Nan nodded. “Mom, don’t worry. I can tell. My dad told me that most likely, she and Chen Jun have broken up. I think she insisted on coming to the capital so that she can make use of Sister Zhai Hua’s wedding to get to know more people.”

This time, Qiao Zijin had really become smarter.

Qiao Zijin would definitely not succeed if she wanted Qiao Nan to help her.

Instead of going head-on with Qiao Nan, of course, Qiao Zijin would depend on herself and make use of Qiao Nan. It was not possible that she would introduce Qiao Zijin to a man that the latter wanted. On the contrary, if Qiao Zijin could mix around in the wedding banquet of Sister Zhai Hua, she could rely on herself to get to know some men. This was much easier than waiting for someone to introduce her to others.

Qiao Zijin did not plot on her this time. Moreover, she was indeed her sister. She could not stop them if they wanted to attend Zhai Hua’s wedding. This time, Qiao Zijin’s plan seemed to be quite good on the surface.

After entering her own bedroom, Qiao Nan smiled the moment she closed her door.

She had never minded but it did not mean that she was unaware. Many years ago, in Ping Cheng, even Qiu Chenxi warned her more than once that she was not compatible with Brother Zhai, given her family background. She was taking advantage of Brother Zhai by being with him. She was the one who lusted after Brother Zhai’s family status and his position in the army. Hence, she pestered Brother Zhai shamelessly.

Qiao Nan was aware of many of such unpleasant sayings. Those people could make it sound so disgusting. They could not wait to use such vicious rumors to drive her to the grave immediately so that she could give up her seat of the daughter-in-law of the Zhai family.

Yes, Brother Zhai was too outstanding and exemplary. Hence, her union with Brother Zhai had attracted so many ‘vilification’ from others.

As such, even if Qiao Zijin were to really succeed by finding someone, the gossip and rumors that she would have to face in the future would not be less than what she had endured in the past.

No matter what, if Qiao Zijin were to know anyone from Sister Zhai Hua’s wedding, they would have greater status than Chen Jun.

In her previous life, Qiao Zijin also heard many such sayings when she married Chen Jun. In the end, her mother pestered Qiao Nan and took all her money for Qiao Zijin to prepare Qiao Zijin’s dowry by buying a house. As a result, Qiao Zijin had property and car in her possession without using the Chen family’s money. Qiao Zijin could then gradually establish herself in the social circle of the Chen family.

Of course, in this life, Qiao Zijin’s situation was not better than that in her previous life.

In this life, Qiao Zijin did not even have a car, big appliances, and everything else, let alone a house.

When she got married, Qiao Zijin did not give her anything. When Qiao Zijin was getting married, at most, she would do just a little better than Qiao Zijin. No one could change this, no matter who came to make a din.

“Mom, come.” San Bao, who was already lying on her bed, patted on the position beside her pillow. She wanted Qiao Nan to quickly come over and sleep.

Looking at the extremely adorable faces of her three children, all the troubles in Qiao Nan’s heart disappeared. With a happy smile on her face, she walked toward her children in leisurely steps before lying down beside them. “Be good. It’s already very late. It’s time for my good children to go to bed. Sleep well and grow taller.”

Qiao Nan lowered her head and gave each child a kiss on their face.
