Ding Jiayi replied impatiently, “Don’t think that I’m good to bully just because I haven’t entered yet. Let me tell you. My younger daughter lives here. My son-in-law is the chief. My in-law was the old chief of the army. If you dare to offend me, I’ll make sure you’ll end up in a sorry state.”

At the entrance of this quad, once Ding Jiayi thought of the Zhai family, she would be full of courage and confidence. She wasn’t afraid of the rest of the people in there at all.

Ding Jiayi knew that the people who lived here were ordinary cadres. Unless there were people who were willing to become the country’s leaders, they basically were no match for her son-in-law. One had to look at the master before hitting a dog. Furthermore, she was Zhai Sheng’s mother-in-law.

Qiao Zijin tugged at Ding Jiayi’s shirt and said softly, “Mom, it seems to be Qiao Nan.”

“What? That wretched—no, it is Qiao Nan?” Ding Jiayi held back her words in time. Qiao Nan had married well and she was now successful. She didn’t dare to call her a wretched girl anymore. Ding Jiayi hurriedly looked over. Huh, it was really Qiao Nan. “Nan Nan, it’s you. Have you returned from work? Let’s talk at home?”

Qiao Nan opened the car door. “Get in.”

“Ah, okay.” Ding Jiayi’s eyes shone and got into the car happily. See? She had said long ago that she had given birth to Qiao Nan and she was her daughter in this lifetime. Regardless of how she treated Qiao Nan in the past, Qiao Nan had to provide for her. Furthermore, there wasn’t any overnight hatred between mother-and-daughter. The past had already passed.

Qiao Nan had never visited her for so many years. She didn’t even mind that she only gave her a small amount of living expenses. It was rare to have a magnanimous mother like her. Qiao Nan had to count her blessings.

Qiao Zijin was surprised as well. She thought that based on Qiao Nan’s behavior for the past few years, it was definitely impossible for her to bother with her and her mother, and the two of them had to work extremely hard to get into Qiao Nan’s car and make her relent.

Ding Jiayi sat in the passenger’s seat. Qiao Zijin naturally sat in the backseat.

“Fasten your seat belt.”

“Ah?” Ding Jiayi didn’t understand and blinked her eyes.

Qiao Nan pulled at the seat belt in front of her chest. “Fasten your seat belt.”

Ding Jiayi said in dissatisfaction, “How do I fasten this? I don’t know how to. Let’s forget it. We’re about to reach home anyway. Why do I have to fasten this? It looks uncomfortable.” When she was in Zhou Zheng’s car, Ding Jiayi didn’t have a chance to sit in the passenger’s seat. She naturally didn’t come into contact with a seat belt.

Looking at the strap in front of her chest, Ding Jiayi naturally felt that once this belt was fastened, it would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Qiao Nan took a deep breath. She unfastened her seat belt first, stood up, helped Ding Jiayi put on her seat belt, then returned to her position. After this was done, Qiao Nan backed up, turned the car around, and drove out of the quad.

“Hey, hey, hey, aren’t you heading home? Where are you driving the car to? Where do you want to bring me to?” Ding Jiayi became anxious. This obviously wasn’t the way to the quad. Qiao Nan shouldn’t want to take her and Zijin out to the wilderness and abandon them there, right?

Qiao Zijin’s face changed as well. She couldn’t help but position her hand on the car door. “Qiao Nan, don’t do anything foolish. Think of your identity now. Furthermore, this is the capital. If something happens to me and Mom, you won’t be able to hold on to the minister’s position for long. The Zhou family knows that we came to the capital this time. If I don’t contact the Zhou family tonight, do you believe that they will call the police immediately? You can’t run away.”

Qiao Nan saw Qiao Zijin’s pale face from the rearview mirror and laughed coldly. “Oh, you share such a good relationship with the Zhou family, huh? I really couldn’t tell. Did Zhou Zheng decide to forgive you for making a cuckold out of him? Did the Zhou family decide not to take this matter to heart? I really didn’t expect Zhou Zheng to tolerate this. Your parents-in-law aren’t ordinary people as well. They are alright with you making a cuckold out of their son? Are they all ‘Ninja Turtles’?”

“…”

“Don’t worry. I won’t do anything illegal to the both of you and get myself into trouble. I’m not that stupid.” Both of you weren’t as valuable as me!

Qiao Nan stopped the car in front of a tea house.

Seeing that the place Qiao Nan parked her car was extremely lively and crowded, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin felt safer. However, the mother-and-daughter pair still followed Qiao Nan closely. They were afraid that if it got too crowded and they didn’t take notice, Qiao Nan would have left them behind there.

“I want a room.”

“Okay, please follow me.” The waiter brought the three of them to a room. “Do you need any tea and snacks?”

Qiao Nan picked up the menu, casually pointed to a pot of tea and some set snacks, and got the waiter to prepare them. “Okay, say whatever you want now. Why did you come to the capital for no apparent reason? It shouldn’t be for travel, right? Also, Qiao Zijin, if you can’t continue your life now, don’t burden others. Just get a divorce. It’s cleaner that way.”

Brother Zhai had said before that among the Zhou family, Mother Zhou was the most aware of current affairs and wouldn’t do anything muddleheaded. As such, even though Father Zhou and Zhou Zheng might be more foolish, both of them listened to her words. At least, there wasn’t a big mess in the Zhou family before Qiao Zijin married over.

As to whether Mother Zhou could manage Qiao Zijin or not, that was another matter.

It was proven that Zhai Sheng had a very accurate eye for people. After all, Qiao Nan had led a peaceful life for many years—at least until today, where she met Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin, these two ‘familiar faces’ again.

“Divorce? What divorce? Who said anything about a divorce? Will Zhou Zheng bear to leave me?” Qiao Zijin felt guilty and wasn’t willing to admit that she and Zhou Zheng were getting a divorce. “Don’t listen to hearsay. There’s nothing. Zhou Zheng and I are well.”

“If you and Zhou Zheng shared such a good relationship, would Zhou Zheng have caught you finding another man outside? Why do you think I would mention the divorce? I’m not sure if you want to get a divorce or not. What I know is that the Zhou family doesn’t want Zhou Zheng to continue spending his life with you.” She didn’t stop the Zhou family from getting a divorce. “Do you understand? It’s the Zhou family who wants Zhou Zheng to get a divorce with you.”

Upon mentioning Zhou Zheng, Ding Jiayi rubbed her lips tightly and didn’t dare to say anything.

“What are you doing? Don’t forget that I’m your sister. If not for me, would Zhou Zheng be your brother-in-law? Aren’t you helping the wrong person?” Qiao Zijin felt irritated at the mention of divorce. She initially did have some thoughts on this. However, she was now a little unwilling to get a divorce.
