“Right, the children have more to prepare, so don’t miss anything. I will take care of myself. Just look after the kids. Bye.” Qiao Dongliang dashed into his room and grabbed a few sets of clothes. He didn’t need a suitcase as he stuffed everything into a hiking bag.

To a man, traveling is as simple as that!

Although the trip was a last-minute call, Qiao Nan and Miao Jing were quick to pack, gathering the essentials within an hour. In the remaining time, they thought about every possible situation to avoid missing out on anything important.

“What? Did Zhai Sheng order tickets to Xi An? How many of them?” The news dumbfounded Peng Yu. Qiao Nan was in trouble, but Zhai Sheng still had the mood to travel with the entire family. What the hell was going on?

He didn’t believe that Zhai Sheng had given up on Qiao Nan. Zhai Sheng would never do that.

“Eight of them.”

“Eight?” Peng Yu did his maths. “Old Master Zhai is gone, so shouldn’t there be seven of them? Are they taking Qiao Dongliang with them?”

After Ding Jiayi arrived in the capital, Qiao Nan would only meet her every month to pass her an allowance. She had never met the Zhai family, and the three kids had no idea that they had a grandma living in the capital. Therefore, the extra ticket wouldn’t be for Ding Jiayi.

If Ding Jiayi couldn’t join the fun, there was no way that Qiao Zijin would be invited. The only one left that could have such privilege was Qiao Dongliang. “How generous of him. Wasn’t he supposed to protect Qiao Nan from her family? Why is he so nice to Qiao Dongliang?”

Shouldn’t he hate the man who allowed Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin to gang up on Qiao Nan?

Shouldn’t he hold onto his principles?

If the Zhai family distanced themselves from everyone in the Qiao family, it would have added fuel to the flame. Qiao Nan would be in a worse situation as a result.

Peng Yu was disappointed that Qiao Dongliang wasn’t on the side of his wife and older daughter, for it would be a great help to his master plan. Why did Qiao Dongliang have to be the special one?

Now that Qiao Dongliang was traveling with the Zhai family, Qiao Zijin wouldn’t have the support from her father for sure. When Peng Yu thought about Ding Jiayi, his head ached in annoyance. That woman was not only nasty to Qiao Nan, but she also treated others just the same. She had the guts to ask for a fortune from everyone. Maybe she was wittier than Qiao Zijin by a little, but her stupidity was immeasurable.

Did she think that money was something so easily obtained?

Peng Yu’s thoughts couldn’t stop the Zhai family from their travel plans. The next morning, Qiao Dongliang took a taxi to the Zhai family enthusiastically. Miao Jing had told the kids that he was coming, so the children weren’t surprised to see him.

They would be delighted to see Qiao Dongliang in the past. Now, their smiles to him were a little forced.

Qiao Dongliang didn’t overthink it. He figured that the kids were simply sleep-deprived due to the early flight.

Despite the children’s awkward expressions, Qiao Dongliang had his spirits high. Alongside the one-sided excitement from Qiao Dongliang, the eight of them headed for the airport.

“What? My dad is traveling with the Zhai family?” When Qiao Zijin received the news, Qiao Dongliang was already on his flight to Xi An. “Why didn’t you inform me earlier? If I knew it, they wouldn’t dream of getting on the plane. It would be the perfect chance to show everyone that Qiao Nan is biased against my mom and me!”

Qiao Zijin’s eyes were crimson red. She didn’t expect that Qiao Nan turned out to be doing fine. She had caused such chaos, but Qiao Nan didn’t even give her a call.

The begging for forgiveness that Qiao Zijin imagined from Qiao Nan never happened. In fact, Qiao Nan didn’t even bother threatening her. All the harsh replies that Qiao Zijin had prepared had no place to be used.

When she was married to Zhou Zheng, she would receive a monthly allowance from him. However, that money was barely enough for her to buy clothes. Things like traveling were too costly for her, so she could only tag along when the Zhou family was to travel.

After giving birth to Zhou Ying, the elders put all their attention on the baby girl, and they wouldn’t leave her side. Since Zhou Zheng’s mother didn’t want to leave her granddaughter, traveling became impossible for Qiao Zijin, who had no earning.

She knew that Qiao Nan was only traveling to another city, but she was still envious that Qiao Nan had such good in-laws. The Zhai family must be rich to bring her father along.

If the Zhai family didn’t mind spending on the Qiao family, was it that big of a deal to give her a house to stay and issue her some allowance? Why did they have to be so stingy? She had also heard that Qiao Nan had loads of money that she inherited from Elder Lin.

Qiao Zijin only found out recently that the master of Qiao Nan years ago helped Qiao Nan make a living and raised her status. Most importantly, that old man was a mogul with tons of money.
