Chapter 2121: Unsuitable

Zhai Sheng could read Qiao Nan’s thoughts. “Qiao Zijin? How can you tell?” How could she know who had bought these things just by looking at them?

Qiao Nan replied lazily as she munched on her fruits, “Qiao Zijin has a son named Chen Feng. I found out her style of picking out clothes for children.” Qiao Zijin had a special way of choosing clothes for children. She never cared about whether the design was comfortable or whether the material was breathable. The only thing she cared about was whether the colors of the clothes were bright and eye-catching.

It was not just about the brightness of the color. She even considered whether the clothes could reflect light!

In short, Qiao Zijin did not buy clothes for everyday wear. She bought clothes suitable for fashion shows. At that time, Qiao Zijin had constantly flaunted her wealth, saying that not only did she not need to work after marrying Chen Jun, but she could even spend money without any care, buying fanciful pieces of clothing for Chen Feng. Qiao Nan had been left speechless by Qiao Zijin’s way of thinking.

Why?

Because just one look at the clothes that Qiao Zijin bought made it obvious that the child would be uncomfortable in them. Qiao Nan had to take her hat off to Qiao Zijin because of that. Where had Qiao Zijin managed to find such a huge pile of clothes? It would be difficult to find just one or two pieces of such clothes even in maternity shops.

Qiao Zijin was rather ‘capable’ indeed for being able to buy such clothes in this quantity. If she was in Qiao Zijin’s place, she would never have been able to find any shops selling such clothes.

Of course, because Qiao Nan was so familiar with Qiao Zijin’s taste that she did not even need to consider it before determining that those sequin clothes were bought by Qiao Zijin. That meant that Qiao Zijin had been the one to send the parcel to her?

“That can’t be right!” Miao Jing’s jaw dropped. It would be shocking enough if Ding Jiayi had sent this parcel over. Miao Jing could not return from her trance upon learning that Qiao Zijin had been the one to send this parcel over. “Nan Nan, what’s with your family?” Why were they getting weirder and weirder?

Miao Jing did not believe that they suddenly understood the importance of family and how well Nan Nan had been toward them. There had not even been a trigger, so there was no way the Qiao family would suddenly come to a realization.

Qiao Nan, who was still eating her fruits, was clueless too. “I don’t understand either. I thought that she would hate me because of that incident over the civil service examination. It’s good enough that she doesn’t scold me every day. But now, she’s even sending things for my children. Something must be going on. One who’s unaccountably solicitous must be hiding evil intentions.” That could not be truer when it came to Qiao Zijin.

Zhai Sheng picked up a tissue and wiped Qiao Nan’s mouth. “That’s up to her. I’m here anyway.” In the face of guns, all reactionaries are nothing more than paper tigers. No matter how scheming Qiao Zijin was, he would definitely be able to find a way to counter them and leave Qiao Zijin helpless. “Do you still want more?” Looking at Qiao Nan’s stomach and thinking about Qiao Nan’s appetite, Zhai Sheng could only say that food would not go to waste.

To think that Qiao Zijin had even been afraid that Qiao Nan would not know that she had been the one to buy all those things. Qiao Nan had immediately recognized them because they had been so representative.

Qiao Dongliang thought that it was about time that Qiao Nan would have received the package and made a call to her. “Nan Nan, have you received it? Do you like it?” Qiao Dongliang had taken a lot of effort in picking out clothes for his three grandchildren. He had even constantly asked the shopkeeper what kind of clothes would be the most comfortable for newborn babies.

Qiao Dongliang might not have had much experience being a grandfather, but he did know that it did not matter whether the clothes that newborns wore looked pretty. All that mattered was the babies’ comfort. If their clothes were uncomfortable, the babies would definitely cry.

Besides, from the way he saw it, newborn clothes were small and soft to the touch. That was pretty enough to him. No wonder people said that it was easy to earn children’s money nowadays. A piece of clothing the size of his palm was much more expensive than a grown adult’s! Moreover, children grew quickly and had to get new clothes every so often.

It was only when he thought about the two hundred thousand that he had received did Qiao Dongliang finally decide on buying some things for his grandchildren.

“The few that you bought are quite good. As for the rest, you can tell her not to waste her money. There’s no need for that.” Qiao Nan was direct with her words. She would accept the clothes that her dad had bought, but she did not really want the pile of clothes that Qiao Zijin had bought. If Qiao Zijin kept sending such clothes to the capital, they would just take up space in her house.

Qiao Dongliang was taken aback. He had not even mentioned it, yet Qiao Nan knew that the clothes had come from the both of them. Of course, the person Qiao Nan was referring to was not Ding Jiayi but Qiao Zijin. Between the two of them, Ding Jiayi was the one without any money. Thus, it was obvious that the only one who could afford to buy so many clothes at once was Qiao Zijin.

Qiao Zijin, who had perked up her ears to listen in on the conversation, was elated to hear that Qiao Nan knew that she had sent those clothes over. At least, she had not spent money in vain. Qiao Nan knew that she had been the one who had bought those clothes and whose credit it should be. But Qiao Nan’s words that followed caused Qiao Zijin’s face to turn sour and she looked pitifully at Qiao Dongliang, begging him to speak up for her in front of Qiao Nan.

She had already given in to Qiao Nan. Why was Qiao Nan still being so petty and refusing to give her a chance to atone her sins and reconcile with her?

Qiao Dongliang rolled his eyes at Qiao Zijin and covered the microphone of his phone. “Zijin, be honest with me. What did you put in the parcel? Why does Nan Nan know that you were the one who sent those things?” Were they not all things for the children? Had she written her name on them to let Nan Nan know that she had been the one who bought them? Otherwise, how would Nan Nan have found out about it?

If Zijin had done that behind his back…

“Dad, you’re maligning me.” Qiao Zijin nearly jumped up in anger. “I admit that I did think of doing so initially. But you were right. As long as I’m sincere and Nan Nan feels my sincerity, we’ll make up eventually. Besides, I have indeed made Nan Nan suffer all these years. Now, it’s my fault that she doesn’t care about me even when I’m treating her well. It’s what I deserve. But I swear that I didn’t put anything weird in the parcel to let Nan Nan know that I was the one who sent most of the clothes over.”
