Chapter 1531: This Divorce Had Better Proceed Quickly

“No, I found someone to rent that house for me. It’s got nothing to do with me.” Her master had indeed left many houses for her in the capital, but she would never let Ding Jiayi live in any of those houses.

Qiao Dongliang initially felt that Qiao Nan was wasting her money by doing that. Qiao Nan herself would never live in those houses that Old Lin left to her. Since that was the case, why would she waste money renting someone else’s house while leaving her own empty?

But when Qiao Dongliang thought about it carefully, he finally understood Qiao Nan’s intention. “That’s true. Anyway, it’s not the time to be stingy about this sum of money. You’ll save a lot of trouble by renting someone else’s house. That’s a good plan.”

If Ding Jiayi found out that she was staying in Nan Nan’s house, it might really just end up in her hands in the end. Ding Jiayi might just refuse to leave and just live in the house forever, thinking that the house should belong to her since it belonged to Qiao Nan.

With such thoughts, along with Qiao Zijin, Qiao Dongliang could see how such an expensive property would eventually end up in the hands of Qiao Zijin through Ding Jiayi.

In summary, there was no other advantage to allowing Ding Jiayi to stay in her own house, other than saving on that little bit of rent. Ding Jiayi knew that Qiao Nan had to fork out a substantial sum every month to pay for her rent. Knowing Ding Jiayi, she would definitely try to get on Qiao Nan’s good side and act carefully.

Living in someone else’s house, Ding Jiayi would not be so irresponsible as to make a mess in the house. But if it were her own house, Ding Jiayi might not only make a mess but might even make holes in the wall.

With such an understanding, Qiao Dongliang naturally agreed with Qiao Nan’s plan and thought that such an arrangement was for the best and the most worry-free.

“Yes.” Qiao Nan responded with a word, not denying it at all. The reason why she was willing to spend that extra five hundred dollars on renting a house for Ding Jiayi was indeed to prevent Ding Jiayi from claiming her apartment as her own and then passing it on to Qiao Zijin.

She did not have to think about being nice to people like Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin. She had to stay a step ahead and play the game dirty. Otherwise, the only one who would suffer was herself.

“All right, I won’t bother you anymore. Don’t fret over your mom. It has passed and everything will be fine. As long as Qiao Zijin is not by your mom’s side, there will be one fewer person to put stupid ideas in her head. Even though she gets muddled sometimes, she won’t cause too much of a problem. After all, she’s already leading quite a comfortable life now because of you.”

“Qiao Zijin got married and has a family and children. She won’t be by your mom’s side for too long. When she returns to Ping Cheng, you won’t have to worry even if your mom stays in the capital. Nothing else will happen.” What he meant to say was that Ding Jiayi would become quite normal once Qiao Zijin left her side.

But the most heartbreaking thing was that Ding Jiayi was the cause of such an abnormal Qiao Zijin.

The thought of this mother-daughter pair caused two words to come to Qiao Dongliang’s mind: pure evil.

After she hung up the phone call, Qiao Nan busied herself with her work. Not only had Ding Jiayi managed to get a living allowance from Qiao Nan, but she had also gotten a place to live. Knowing where she could purchase her groceries, Ding Jiayi gradually started carving out her life.

She did not have to worry about paying for her meals. Even her rent was paid for.

Of course, under such circumstances, Ding Jiayi’s life was such a carefree one that it was almost heartless for her to live such a comfortable life.

Knowing that Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin had come to the capital, Zhai Sheng could not stay still. In the earlier years, these two women had bullied Qiao Nan. But at that time, Zhai Sheng was still unknown and did not have a status. He could not have possibly used his position as a neighbor to fight back against them and teach them a lesson on Qiao Nan’s behalf.

When the two of them got married later, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were threatened by Qiao Nan, and they no longer dared to show themselves before Qiao Nan. Thus, everything had been quiet for a few years, and there was no reason for Zhai Sheng to do anything.

But as Qiao Nan’s status rose and she became a public figure within the country, there were many things that Qiao Nan had to pay attention to. And it was at this time that Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin boldly came to the capital. How could Zhai Sheng possibly give up this opportunity?

“Isn’t your family planning on getting Zhou Zheng to divorce Qiao Zijin? Since you already have such plans, I think it’s better that you don’t drag it on any further. Besides, the reason why you’re getting divorced and why your relationship broke down is all Qiao Zijin’s fault. Remember to prepare everything well before you officially propose a divorce. Many Chinese marriage laws are about the division and distribution of a couple’s shared property and assets at the time of the divorce. Find a lawyer and analyze carefully what you should be getting. Only then can you make sure that you won’t lose out and get taken advantage of. Understand?”

The Zhou family was extremely surprised to receive such a call from Zhai Sheng. They knew that Zhai Sheng was now the chief and was busy meeting important people daily. It was amazing that he still remembered about such unimportant people like the Zhou family. “Chief Zhai, do you really mean it?”

Zhou Zheng really did mean to get divorced from Qiao Zijin. Even before their marriage, he had not really liked Qiao Zijin. He had married her for the benefits such a marriage would bring him, but he had truly been loyal to Qiao Zijin after marriage.

He had not liked the fact that Qiao Zijin was not as beautiful as his ex-girlfriend before marriage. After marriage, it was not as though there were no girls who were younger and more beautiful than Qiao Zijin who threw themselves at him. But for Qiao Zijin and for the sake of his family, he rejected them all.

But Zhou Zheng had never expected that although he was able to resist all temptations and stay loyal to Qiao Zijin and his family, Qiao Zijin had gone behind his back and found a lover for herself outside.

As a man, just thinking about that made Zhou Zheng want to kill Qiao Zijin. He could not understand how there could possibly be such a callous woman like Qiao Zijin. In the few years that she had been in the Zhou family, she had always been treated like a young mistress who never had to do any work. Even then, Qiao Zijin had been dissatisfied and gotten into an affair.

To put it simply, Zhou Zheng could only feel disgusted on all levels at the thought of his wife, Qiao Zijin. He no longer despised Qiao Zijin. Was Qiao Zijin’s heart made of stone? How could she commit such shameful acts?
