Chapter 2140: Couldn’t Wait

Her mother actually lost her father’s identity card. Indeed, for a period of time, her father didn’t need to think about leaving Ping Cheng, let alone confirming his identity. It would take at least a month for an identity card to be reissued. By then, Qiao Nan would have long become ashes and she should be able to become the next wife of the chief.

After seeing Qiao Zijin give her a thumbs-up secretly, Ding Jiayi looked at Qiao Zijin warningly to tell her not to be so happy first. If Qiao Dongliang saw this, there would be trouble again. Furthermore, nothing was absolute in this world. Based on Qiao Zijin’s words, she could only delay for a little while and keep Old Qiao here first so that Zijin could go to the capital.

“Dad, the taxi you hailed is about to leave. If you can’t find your identity card now, how are you going to board the train?” Qiao Zijin asked hypocritically.

Qiao Dongliang used his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead. “Zijin, take this one hundred yuan and give it to the driver who’s parked outside our house. I’m sorry to let him wait for so long. There’s no need to return any small change. Let him do his business. Forget it if I can’t board the train today. When I find my identity card, I’ll board the train tomorrow. It’s alright to be late for a day.”

Qiao Dongliang only felt that he had seen a ghost today. When he bought the train ticket yesterday, he had used his identity card. After buying the ticket, he placed all three items back into his wallet at the train station. He didn’t lose his wallet and his train ticket and small change were still intact. Why was it that only his identity card was missing?

Could it be that he didn’t place his identity card properly and it dropped out of the wallet?

As he couldn’t find his identity card at home, Qiao Dongliang couldn’t help but self-doubt. He thought that he didn’t put away his identity card properly when he returned yesterday and thus had lost it. After searching through his luggage and room, Qiao Dongliang confirmed that the identity card shouldn’t be at home.

The identity card couldn’t have fallen into the corners of the house. As such, he should have misplaced his identity card outside. “Both of you will be home, right? I’ll head outside for a while.”

Ding Jiayi’s heart jumped and she hurriedly pulled Qiao Dongliang back. “It’s so early in the morning. You didn’t find your identity card and you can’t board the train to the capital. Where else are you planning to head to?”

Qiao Dongliang took a deep breath. “I’ll go to the police stations nearby and ask around. If the photo doesn’t match the person’s face, an identity card would be useless as it can’t be used. Perhaps someone picked it up and returned it to the police station. I’ll ask around and see if there’s mine.” What if he found it?

To an ordinary person, his identity card was really useless. However, it was very useful to him. If he couldn’t find his identity card back, he wouldn’t be able to visit his daughter.

“Oh, I see. Go ahead then.” Once she heard that Qiao Dongliang was going to look for his identity card, Ding Jiayi felt more at ease and left Qiao Dongliang be.

After Qiao Dongliang left, Qiao Zijin asked Ding Jiayi, “Mom, where did you hide Dad’s identity card? Is it safe? Don’t let him find out where it is and end up delaying him for just a few days. We have to make sure that he won’t be able to go. That way, he won’t pull me back and disallow me to go. Qiao Nan is going to give birth. Someone from the Qiao family should be there as a representative to show care and concern toward Qiao Nan.”

Compared to Ding Jiayi, Qiao Zijin was confident that she would be the one to go to the capital to visit Qiao Nan on behalf of Qiao Dongliang.

Ding Jiayi smiled smugly. “Your dad would definitely not find his identity card back. I didn’t hide it at all. I cut and burned it.” It had already become a small black ball. Even if Old Qiao really saw it, he couldn’t possibly recognize that this was the identity card he was anxiously looking for. “It takes about a month to make another identity card. Qiao Nan is already seven-months pregnant now. She shouldn’t be able to wait for your dad for a month.”

In short, when Old Qiao received his new identity card, Zijin would have already become Zhai Sheng’s third wife. When Qiao Nan’s triplets grew up, they had to call Zijin ‘mom’.

After knowing how Ding Jiayi handled Qiao Zijin’s identity card, Qiao Zijin no longer had any worries. “Mom, you’re formidable.” Compared to her dad, her mom’s skills were great. Her dad couldn’t possibly win against her.

“Alright, when your dad returns later, don’t let the cat out of the bag. Don’t utter nonsense in front of him either. Your dad isn’t a fool. He’s quite smart. If he knows that we have deliberately destroyed his identity card, don’t blame it on me if your matter with Zhai Sheng couldn’t succeed then. Also, hurry up and pack your bags. You are going over in the name of taking care of Qiao Nan. Don’t be lazy such that we don’t know who is actually taking care of whom. Your dad is smart and the Zhai family isn’t easy to deal with. I won’t be by your side. You have to rely on yourself for everything. Think over things properly and don’t always try to appease people by coaxing. A lot of women would want to grab a good man like Zhai Sheng.”

Her daughter was worried about marrying. However, Zhai Sheng wasn’t worried about not having a wife.

“Sure, I’ll remember all your words. I promise not to make these mistakes.” In front of the Chen family, she couldn’t lift her head up. In front of the Zhai family, she would naturally be more careful and work hard so that the Zhai family would accept her. She didn’t believe that she would be worse than Qiao Nan when it came to the things that Qiao Nan could do.

Ding Jiayi already finished saying what she could say. After Qiao Zijin left Ping Cheng and arrived in the capital, even if Ding Jiayi was concerned, it would be beyond her ability to help her. Qiao Zijin had to rely on herself for everything. “Go on. Mom believes that you can definitely do it. You have to remember that you’re more outstanding than that wretched girl and you would do better than her.”

She didn’t know what was wrong with the Zhai family’s eyes. Zijin was obviously better than that wretched girl a hundred and even a thousand times. Why would the Zhai family rather let Zhai Sheng marry Qiao Nan instead of Qiao Zijin? However, gold always shines. When Qiao Nan, the obstacle, was gone, as long as the Zhai family wasn’t blind, they would understand how good Zijin was and let Zhai Sheng marry her.

As a mother, when she thought of Qiao Zijin, her daughter, Ding Jiayi felt confident.

Just as Ding Jiayi said, Qiao Dongliang naturally couldn’t find his identity card despite searching high and low at the Qiao family and all the police stations in Ping Cheng.

When Qiao Dongliang heard that it would take a month to get a new identity card, Qiao Dongliang became anxious. “I can’t wait for a month.”
