Chapter 1512: The Zhou Family Is Getting a Divorce

“You’ve finally completed the last mission your master left for you. He should be feeling at ease now.” Upon mentioning Elder Lin, Qiao Dongliang’s voice was full of regrets. It could be said that after Elder Lin left, aside from Qiao Nan’s family, only Qiao Dongliang went to visit him.

He knew that when he was still committing mistakes and hadn’t fulfilled his duty as a father, Elder Lin was the one who gave Qiao Nan recognition, care, and concern when she was going through difficult times. It could be said that without Elder Lin, there wouldn’t be the Qiao Nan today.

Based on this point alone, Qiao Dongliang felt an infinite amount of gratefulness to Elder Lin. Elder Lin had made up for his shortcomings so that Qiao Nan, who was a good child, didn’t go to waste. The most important thing was that such a good child shouldn’t have been treated that way.

Upon mentioning this, Qiao Nan smiled. It was just that her smile wasn’t deep and there was a hint of worry hidden in it. Blessing and misfortune come hand in hand. Qiao Nan never felt that good things could happen to her consecutively.

“What happened? Is someone causing you trouble?” Qiao Dongliang knew that it wasn’t easy to be the minister of foreign affairs. A lot of people were eyeing that spot. It was just that the person who filled up that position was his daughter. Some people played tricks when their wishes weren’t fulfilled. Qiao Dongliang had already seen all of these when he was in the army. “Isn’t Zhai Sheng spending more time at home now? He no longer has to perform missions outside for a long time like before. If you really face trouble, give Zhai Sheng a call and get him to return to help you resolve the matter.”

Nan Nan didn’t need to be too independent such that Zhai Sheng couldn’t be of help to her.

Qiao Nan shook her head. “I’ve been in the ministry for seven to eight years now. I’m considered a veteran. The leaders above recognize my ability as well. Even if some people want to cause trouble, they can’t afford to.”

“If it isn’t about the ministry, why are you unhappy?”

Qiao Nan smiled bitterly. “Dad, you have stayed in the capital for almost five years now, right?”

“Yes.” It was true. His daughter had fetched him to the capital to stay for almost five years now. Time flew.

“As such, have you forgotten those two people from Ping Cheng?” All these years, she didn’t keep in contact with Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin. However, she never forgot their characters. “The Zhou family called Brother Zhou a few days ago. Zhou Zheng wants to get a divorce with Qiao Zijin. We didn’t stop Zhou Zheng and asked them to consider their own decisions.”

Qiao Dongliang became agitated. He was afraid he would scare the three children behind, thus he said in a normal tone, “Divorce. Why?” It was only after marrying Zijin off to Zhou Zheng that he felt relieved. Whatever happened to Zijin in the future had nothing to do with him and it would be managed by the Zhou family.

However, once Zijin got a divorce with Zhou Zheng, then…

“Qiao Zijin had an affair.” Upon mentioning this matter, Qiao Nan’s looks became terrible. Qiao Zijin wasn’t married to Chen Jun but Zhou Zheng now. However, she still had an affair. Compared to her previous life, Qiao Zijin had an affair much earlier this lifetime. “She was caught by Zhou Zheng and became angry. Not only did she admit it, but she even pushed the responsibility to Zhou Zheng. Zhou Zheng couldn’t help but hit Qiao Zijin. After Qiao Zijin returned to her mother’s home, she didn’t return to the Zhou family for two months and didn’t even care about the children.”

“…” After listening to Qiao Nan’s words, Qiao Dongliang was completely speechless.

Qiao Dongliang really couldn’t put the blame on Zhou Zheng for this divorce. All in all, Qiao Dongliang had to blame himself for not knowing how to teach and raise his daughter well. Her having an affair was something Qiao Dongliang didn’t even dare to think about.

After getting a divorce with Ding Jiayi and having separated for so long, Qiao Dongliang didn’t even find another woman, let alone having an affair. Based on Qiao Dongliang’s temper, he would definitely scold Qiao Zijin harshly for having done such a shameless thing if she was in front of him. “Your mother has completely raised this child up badly!”

Qiao Dongliang was so angry that he didn’t have the strength to speak. He didn’t understand how ‘capable’ Ding Jiayi was to have raised up such a child. “To think that when you were young, your mother didn’t value you. I only realize today that your mother’s bias toward your sister was simply the greatest gift to you. I dare not imagine if you were the same as your sister. What a failure I would have been in this lifetime!”

If both daughters turned out to be like that, Qiao Dongliang was about to suspect that his family’s genes were bad.

“Perhaps.” Qiao Nan really couldn’t deny Qiao Dongliang’s words. Qiao Zijin always had this temper. Nobody knew if this was really attributed to Ding Jiayi’s unique way of education. “I’m prepared not to care about Zhou Zheng’s and Qiao Zijin’s matters. I’m worried about what kind of reaction my mother and Qiao Zijin would have after seeing the news from the ministry.”

It was said that in times of prosperity, friends would be aplenty.

Unless both of them hadn’t seen the news, Qiao Nan felt that she was about to receive ‘visitors’ soon.

“…” Qiao Nan’s words always made Qiao Dongliang speechless. “If they really dare to cause trouble, no matter what they ask for, don’t agree to them. If they become too overboard, don’t worry. I’ll help you.” Qiao Dongliang didn’t say these words with much confidence.

If Qiao Dongliang could really manage Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin, their family of four wouldn’t have ended up in such a state today.

As they chatted, the five of them had already reached the Zhai family’s home. Qiao Nan unfastened her seatbelt. “Forget it. Let’s talk about this another time.” She hoped that she had thought wrongly and read too much into things. After all, the triplets were already about to graduate from primary school. For such a long period of time, Qiao Nan didn’t contact Ding Jiayi or Qiao Zijin.

Compared to her previous lifetime, she was thirty-four years old this year. However, she still hadn’t given her salary to Ding Jiayi to raise Qiao Zijin.

“Nan Nan, the triplets are about to graduate from primary school. Have you thought about what kind of junior high school to send them to?” Seeing that the three children were upright, Qiao Dongliang changed the topic and started caring about the triplets’ studies.

“I’ll let them take the exams.” Exams need to be taken to enter the capital’s key junior high schools. Qiao Nan was optimistic. “They usually have good results. The junior high school they enter wouldn’t be any worse.”

With the approval of their mother, the children were especially happy. Er Bao and San Bao lit up with pleasure. Only Da Bao rubbed his lips slightly and suppressed his smile.

“You’re back?” Zhai Sheng heard the sounds and opened the door. Indeed, he saw his beautiful wife and three adorable children.
