Chapter 2124: Deliberately

Facing these two ‘powerful’ women, Zhai Sheng didn’t dare to have any opinion at all. He could only finish his work and send back the big bag of clothes that Qiao Zijin had sent over.

Unlike Qiao Dongliang, who used ordinary delivery, Zhai Sheng used SF Express in order to facilitate the return of Qiao Zijin’s goods. They reached Qiao Zijin the next day. The Zhai family could afford to pay the express delivery fees.

Facing the bag of clothes that was sent back, Ding Jiayi felt heartache, Qiao Zijin felt depressed, and Qiao Dongliang felt sad. It seemed like Nan Nan’s opinions of Zijin were stronger than what he had imagined. “Zijin, you bought these clothes. Go and return them. Since they aren’t suitable, let’s not waste unnecessary money.”

Seeing that Qiao Nan had sent back all the clothes, Qiao Dongliang couldn’t say anything. Who asked Qiao Zijin to buy clothes that weren’t suitable for the children to wear? If these were left at home, it would just be a pile of garbage. Furthermore, who in the Qiao family didn’t know that Qiao Zijin was the same as Ding Jiayi? Both of them loved money as much as life itself. If Qiao Zijin returned this bag of clothes, her loss could be avoided as well.

It was better to return these clothes for money than to let them be garbage piled up in the Qiao family’s house.

“Dad, you really want me to return them?” Qiao Zijin felt uncomfortable in her heart. If she really returned these clothes and got her money back, wouldn’t she have bought them in vain and all her efforts be wasted? No matter how much Qiao Zijin couldn’t bear to part with money, she knew that once she returned these clothes, the image which she had not salvaged yet would collapse once again.

It was unknown what kind of agitation Qiao Nan, who used to be so easy to talk to, suffered. Her temper became strange. All along, Qiao Nan pleased her. She was willing to please Qiao Nan back now. However, Qiao Nan didn’t seem to know her limits.

“Otherwise? Leave them for your second child to use?” Qiao Dongliang had no choice. These clothes weren’t suitable and Qiao Nan didn’t want them. They would just pile up as garbage unless Qiao Zijin remarried and got pregnant with another child again. Perhaps these clothes would be useful then. “I didn’t want to say this, but the clothes you bought for Fengfeng in the past were a mess. Return them quickly. Thankfully, Nan Nan didn’t cut off the tags. Otherwise, we can’t return these clothes and they would only go to waste.”

He didn’t understand. It wasn’t as if Qiao Zijin was childless. However, she bought such clothes for Qiao Nan’s unborn children. She couldn’t even compare to him, the grandfather. No wonder Nan Nan’s tone was like that when she mentioned Chen Feng. He couldn’t help but wonder if Fengfeng was brought up by Zijin.

Qiao Zijin was dissatisfied. “What’s wrong with the clothes I bought? Aren’t they nice? They’re expensive!” If not for the sake of her plan, how would she bear to spend so much money and buy clothes for Qiao Nan’s children? She had spent so much money but didn’t receive any words of compliment and was lectured instead. She felt wronged. She spent so much money just to prove to everyone that she was good to Qiao Nan’s children. In the future, she could really treat Qiao Nan’s three children as her own.

“It’s precisely because these clothes are expensive that they should be returned. You know where they were bought. We don’t. As such, only you could return them. You should return such expensive clothes. Are all the tags still intact?” If they weren’t returned, Qiao Dongliang would feel the pinch. There wasn’t a need to waste unnecessary money.

Qiao Zijin kept the clothes unhappily. “Alright, don’t worry. These weren’t bought cheaply off the streets. They are branded. As long as the tags are intact, we can return them, of course. Dad, since when did Nan Nan become so spoiled? I’m treating her and her three children well but she’s being picky!”

Otherwise, how would someone complain that someone else’s gifts were not good enough and even return them? All in all, Qiao Nan was actually picking on her, right?

She didn’t believe that if this situation happened to someone else, Qiao Nan would not care about face and also return the items. That would be making a lot of enemies for the Zhai family.

If it had been someone else, would Qiao Nan have done the same? Of course not. If it was of use, she would use it. If not, she would just pile it up as garbage at home. At the very most, it could appear in another format as something of equal value when there was a joyous occasion at someone else’s family.

But was Qiao Zijin an ordinary person? Could she be considered as ‘someone else’? After accepting Qiao Zijin’s things, she wanted to use something of equal value to return to her and treat it that they were even? In her dreams! Don’t even think about it! Qiao Zijin was more troublesome than this ‘someone else’.

Thus, when facing Qiao Zijin, there was only one thing to say: If it’s yours, please take it back. Our family doesn’t want anything at all.

Of course, Qiao Zijin wouldn’t self-reflect on the difference between this. She just felt that after Qiao Nan married Zhai Sheng, she became more arrogant and started to look down on them, the poor relatives from her family. Even if she spent a lot of money to buy these baby clothes, Qiao Nan could just send them back via SF Express without blinking! Having done so much, Qiao Nan was just trying to prove to her that she had style now. The Qiao Nan now had long surpassed Qiao Zijin, who had the most glory back when she was still married to Chen Jun.

The more Qiao Zijin thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. When she picked up the clothes, it was inevitable that her movements were bigger. Ding Jiayi felt heartache. “Can your movements be smaller? Didn’t you say that these clothes were expensive? Don’t damage the protective cover. Otherwise, the shop might find an excuse and not let us return them.” It was rare that the tags were still intact. She didn’t want to end up not being able to return the clothes because of Qiao Zijin.

Perhaps it was because she had suffered a loss of two hundred thousand yuan that Ding Jiayi’s mindset was completely different now. Ding Jiayi wasn’t surprised at all that Qiao Nan didn’t fancy the clothes Qiao Zijin sent over. When she heard that Qiao Nan had sent these clothes back, Ding Jiayi felt that Qiao Nan should have done so. If Qiao Nan didn’t like them, what use was there to hang on to them? Of course she should send them back so that they could still return them for money. Money was not easily obtained, after all.

Ding Jiayi’s only worry was that Qiao Nan might have learned Qiao Dongliang’s style. Although she said that these clothes weren’t good and suitable, not only would she cut off the tags in private, but she would even deliberately rinse them in water, being petty and thus ruining the clothes.
