Chapter 1988: Don’t Fancy Her

“Our Feng Feng has such a good family background. He could marry any girl. Why would he want someone like Qiao Nan?” Qiao Nan was totally unqualified to stand next to Feng Feng. Even if Ding Jiayi was just using an analogy, Qiao Zijin felt that using her son as an example together with Qiao Nan was an insult to him.

Ding Jiayi smiled. Indeed, she didn’t think wrongly. “That’s correct then. The Zhai family’s conditions are much better than the Chen family’s. You yourself aren’t willing for Chen Feng to marry a girl like Qiao Nan. The Zhai family’s requirements would definitely be higher than ours. It’s either that this matter’s fake, or Qiao Nan forged her identity to deceive the Zhai family. Qiao Nan’s from our family. By doing this, she is embarrassing us. We cannot let Qiao Nan ruin the Qiao family’s reputation. Zijin, if you do this well, our family might really have a chance to be in-laws with the Zhai family. It won’t be a lie.”

Ding Jiayi felt that Qiao Nan was impossible, but she was full of confidence in Qiao Zijin.

Qiao Zijin blushed. “Mom, what are you talking about?” Compared to Qiao Nan, her conditions were naturally better. However, if their hypothesis was valid and Qiao Nan forged her identity, this meant that the Zhai family had pretty strict requirements on Zhai Sheng’s other half.

She was only much better than Qiao Nan’s real conditions, not better than Qiao Nan’s forged conditions. The Zhai family had a good sense of judgment and might not necessarily fancy her. “Mom, the reason why I want to say everything clearly to the Zhai family is not to leave a good impression in front of them so that we can have a good relationship. I just feel that since Qiao Nan’s from our family, I don’t wish for a liar to be in our family.”

Of course, if the Zhai family really felt that she had a good character, she was very willing to interact with them. Qiao Nan had lied to the Zhai family. Actually, she should indeed get closer to the Zhai family and treat them well to compensate them for being cheated by Qiao Nan.

“Something’s wrong with all of you. You shouldn’t go to the Zhai family now but the hospital!” After looking around for a long time, Qiao Dongliang felt quite helpless that he didn’t have much money in his pockets to prepare a dowry for Qiao Nan. There wasn’t a choice. When he was working, his salary wasn’t high. The Qiao family had relied on Qiao Nan for a living.

Later when Qiao Zijin fell sick and was hospitalized, Qiao Dongliang used most of the money he had saved with great difficulty to treat Qiao Zijin. After seeing the numbers on his passbook, Qiao Dongliang realized how embarrassing he was. Based on those pitiful numbers in the passbook, how would he have the face to say that he would prepare a dowry for his younger daughter? Even if he couldn’t let his daughter marry off in a glorious state, it had to be at least decent.

At this time, Qiao Dongliang couldn’t help but think of the remaining money Qiao Zijin had from selling the house. Qiao Dongliang didn’t mention this previously not because he really felt that the house Ding Jiayi bought with Qiao Nan’s money should all belong to Qiao Zijin. If one wanted to be calculative, this sum of money belonged to Qiao Nan.

Qiao Dongliang said nothing when Qiao Zijin waited for this life-saving money earlier. Now that Qiao Zijin’s illness was better and she still had so much money in her hands, he didn’t want everything. He only wanted Qiao Zijin to fork out three hundred thousand yuan, of which he would use two hundred thousand yuan to buy Qiao Nan a car and give Qiao Nan the remaining to buy home appliances.

With this three hundred thousand yuan as a base, Qiao Dongliang felt that if Qiao Nan were to really marry Zhai Sheng, her dowry wouldn’t look too shabby.

Qiao Dongliang had been thinking about how to convince Qiao Zijin to fork out this sum of money. Before he could do so, he first heard Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin discussing how they wanted to reveal Qiao Nan’s ‘secret’. Qiao Dongliang was so angry that his face turned green. “You always say that Nan Nan has no conscience. I think both of you are inferior to pigs and dogs. You’re simply perverse!”

The furious Qiao Dongliang poked Ding Jiayi’s head with his hand. “Nan Nan’s a piece of meat that fell from your body after you were pregnant for ten months. Do you not want to see Nan Nan well? Will you be happy only after you step on her? Did Nan Nan owe you? You’re the one who owes Nan Nan! I’ve never seen a mother more ruthless than you. You don’t even treat Nan Nan as your daughter. However, you have the cheek to snatch Nan Nan’s things and give them to Zijin on the basis that you’re Nan Nan’s mother. You’re really shameless.”

“And you, Qiao Zijin. You’re really your mom’s good daughter. Your cold-bloodedness is exactly the same as your mom’s. I haven’t said it, but do you really not remember what shameless things you did before? The thing I regret the most was that you asked Nan Nan to drop out of school back then and I agreed in cowardice as I felt that it would be too tough to provide for both children’s studies. Back then, how did you marry Chen Jun? Chen Jun was Nan Nan’s boyfriend and your brother-in-law. You slept with him and even got pregnant with his child. You have really thrown our Qiao family’s face for eighteen generations straight! I really regret it. Why didn’t I give you a beating back when I knew about this so that you would be scared and understand what face and values are all about? I should never have let you give birth to Chen Feng!”

Qiao Dongliang was really filled with hatred. Qiao Zijin was already forty-two years old. He didn’t know if it was still useful to beat her now. However, he simply couldn’t tolerate it anymore.

Both of them scolded Nan Nan like she was their enemy. However, once they talked about snatching Nan Nan’s things away, they became excited. It was as if Nan Nan’s things should rightfully belong to them. Those ugly looks were simply unbearable!

Qiao Dongliang didn’t understand how one of these two ugly women could be his wife and the other, his elder daughter. His father was still an old revolutionary who had killed foreigners on the battlefields.

If his father knew that there was a granddaughter like Zijin in the Qiao family, he would have been angered to death alive. He was wrong. He didn’t know how to teach children, but Ding Jiayi only knew how to lead them astray!

Qiao Dongliang, who was filled with hatred, couldn’t be bothered if Qiao Zijin was already a grown-up and even a mother. He picked up things and started to hit Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin with them. Both of them couldn’t escape.

To Ding Jiayi, who had been beaten and had bruises on her body that hadn’t completely disappeared, this didn’t seem to be something unusual. She gradually got used to being beaten. However, to Qiao Zijin, who had always been spoiled, that was completely different.

Even when Qiao Zijin was young and didn’t do well in her exams, Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi never scolded her, let alone hit her. Even when she was pregnant with Chen Jun’s child back then and had forced Qiao Nan to break up with Chen Jun so that she could marry Chen Jun, Qiao Dongliang didn’t lay a hand on Qiao Zijin either.
