Chapter 1561: Shameless

“But I have one question. It costs money to have a good education.” Money. Did she even have it? Did she have enough?

If raising a child well was just a matter of talk, would she have forced Qiao Nan to work part-time while she was still in junior high school just so that she could pay for her elder daughter’s school fees? It was exactly because studying was too expensive and having two children studying was too heavy of a burden that she had made such a decision, offending that foolish girl Qiao Nan.

Without what happened then, her relationship with Qiao Nan would not have deteriorated to such a bad state, so much so that Qiao Nan no longer recognized her as her mother.

“…” In the face of such a realistic problem, Qiao Zijin gritted her teeth. “I don’t, but Qiao Nan does! Mom, you also know that Qiao Nan struck a fortune! A huge one! The money that Qiao Nan has in her hands is more than we’ll ever have in a few lifetimes! No matter what, Qiao Nan is still Ying Ying’s aunt. Even if Qiao Nan were to raise ten Ying Ying, she would still have loads of money leftover!”

After learning that Qiao Nan had such a huge fortune, Qiao Zijin had been so angry that she had been unable to sleep for three nights. Was it not enough that she was the Minister of Foreign Affairs? Now, she was even filthy rich! Even Chen Jun said that he could not tell how much Qiao Nan had on hand now. Qiao Nan could very well be one of the richest invisible tycoons in the whole of China!

“Mom, do you not know? Ten million yuan, ten million yuan! She just donated it out! And do you know who Qiao Nan donated it to? She started a foundation specially to support lonely old people to let them live out the rest of their lives comfortably. How about me? We’re her relatives, but we’re living such hard lives. If she was really so kind, why didn’t she come and help her relatives first? Mom, don’t tell me you’re still happy that she rented you a house in the capital. I’m telling you that Qiao Nan has many houses in her possession. And those are big houses. These houses are all hers, but she didn’t even tell you about it, much less let you into her houses. She’s so heartless! Are you still thinking about her?”

The more she said, the angrier Qiao Zijin got. After a while, Qiao Zijin started shouting.

She wanted to get remarried too, and she knew that it would be inconvenient to have her daughter with her. But she had no other choice. She had to keep Zhou Ying by her side. Zhou Zheng wanted her to get divorced without receiving any alimony or marital assets, but Qiao Zijin refused to do so. Knowing that the Zhou family did not favor boys over girls, Qiao Zijin knew that they loved their granddaughter, Zhou Ying, greatly.

Thus, Qiao Zijin made use of Zhou Ying and asked for a huge sum of alimony. Only then was she willing to get a divorce. Otherwise, since Zhou Ying was her daughter, she would bring Zhou Ying away with her.

She had not expected that she would lose this game. Initially, the two Zhou elders were reluctant to give up their granddaughter. Even if Qiao Zijin had been at fault, they were still willing to give Qiao Zijin a sum of money. But the amount of money that the Zhou family was willing to part with was far from what Qiao Zijin demanded. Seeing how Qiao Zijin’s attitude was worsening, Zhou Zheng was furious. Since Qiao Zijin was Zhou Ying’s mother, Zhou Zheng pushed Zhou Ying over to Qiao Zijin’s side without hesitation. “You hardly spent any time at home in the past, so you were never able to spend much time with your daughter. It’s rare that you’re willing to have your daughter by your side. It’s just as well. Make it up to your daughter and let her feel how it’s like to always have her mother by her side!”

Had Qiao Zijin really thought that she held the upper hand over the Zhou family because of her daughter and could get away with anything? Where did she get such a naive idea?

In this way, when Qiao Zijin finally returned from her trance, she had not only gotten her divorce from Zhou Zheng but also Zhou Ying’s custody.

After struggling for so many months, other than taking her daughter with her, Qiao Zijin had really been chased out of the Zhou family with nothing to her name. From then on, she had nothing to do with the Zhou family.

Qiao Zijin had no money but still had to raise her daughter. How was she going to do it? She could only think of giving in to others. She wanted Chen Jun to marry her, but Chen Jun had only been playing with Qiao Zijin. He had wasted a huge sum of money on Qiao Zijin when he was young but had gained nothing from it at all. Now, he would just take it that Qiao Zijin was repaying her debt to him.

Why would he get a divorce from his wife and wreck his family for such a foolish woman like Qiao Zijin?

Not wanting Qiao Zijin to continue bothering him, Chen Jun thought of the perfect plan. He decided to tell Qiao Zijin about Qiao Nan’s enviable circumstance. Compared to him, Chen Jun knew that Qiao Zijin hated Qiao Nan much more.

To push Qiao Zijin further, Chen Jun specially gave Qiao Zijin a plane ticket to the capital on the account of their relationship, knowing that Qiao Zijin herself did not have much money.

Knowing that Qiao Nan was living the high life now, it was not only Qiao Zijin who was unhappy. Chen Jun was the most unhappy. Initially, he had worked together with Wang Yang to chase Qiao Nan. In the end, when he finally got in touch with Qiao Nan, the playboy Chen Jun felt for the first time in his life that there was a woman whom he was willing to be long-term boyfriend to, and perhaps marriage was not such a ridiculous thought either. At least when he faced Qiao Nan, he felt that life was worth living.

He did not know why, but the moment he saw Qiao Nan, Chen Jun immediately felt that Qiao Nan was a suitable candidate for marriage and would be a woman who would take good care of her family. Every time he thought about getting married to Qiao Nan, Chen Jun felt a warm fuzzy feeling within his chest. But Qiao Nan never even bothered about him.

Nothing that happened afterward was anything that Chen Jun had expected. He saw Qiao Nan marry Zhai Sheng and then move to the capital. Chen Jun himself did not know why he had never given up his obsession over Qiao Nan after so many years. He even spent money keeping track of everything that Qiao Nan did.

He learned that Old Lin had paved the way for Qiao Nan, and that Old Lin had left his entire fortune to Qiao Nan alone. He also knew that the intelligent Qiao Nan was a shareholder of the Tian Corporation. Chen Jun suppressed something inwardly. It only accumulated as time passed, almost to the point of explosion.

At this time, Qiao Zijin appeared in front of Chen Jun.

Although he was angry, Chen Jun did not want to go against Qiao Nan, for fear of backlash from the Zhai family. After being punished once, he was not going to be a fool a second time. Otherwise, he was not worthy to be a Chen. At this time, Qiao Zijin was Chen Jun’s best choice.

When Ding Jiayi asked about how Qiao Zijin was planning to raise Zhou Ying, the question was not about whether Qiao Zijin was going to raise her child well. The question was where she was going to get the money to do so. Without money, how was she going to raise her child? However, Qiao Zijin was so shameless as to directly mention Qiao Nan.
