Chapter 2405: Bad Temper (1)

He knew for a fact that Qiao Nan would inform him if anything happened to them. If Qiao Nan didn’t say anything, it meant that Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi were in good health even if they were not living a luxurious life.

After knowing that, Qiao Dongliang had no interest in their lives anymore. Other than taking care of himself, Qiao Dongliang’s only anticipation was meeting his grandchildren on holidays.

Qiao Dongliang’s looked better after getting rid of the negativities in his life. If his old friend from Ping Cheng saw him, he would be surprised to see how youthful Qiao Dongliang was.

On the contrary, Ding Jiayi was suffering every day. Elders at her age should be enjoying a joyous and contented life.

What about her? Her unfilial daughter wouldn’t spend a single cent on her, and her older daughter would quarrel with her over money every day. All Qiao Zijin wanted was to take everything away from her.

They were like archenemies.

Since Ding Jiayi was sent to the hospital for food poisoning, the relationship between Qiao Zijin and her went from bad to worse. They couldn’t even pretend to be nice to each other.

One saw money as something more important than her daughter, while the other thought that her mother was too old to hold onto any cash. Her mother was no longer as reliable as she had been before. In fact, she would say that it was unfortunate for Qiao Nan and her to be born into this family. Ding Jiayi had never been a parent that they could rely on.

Knowing what kind of parent Ding Jiayi was, Qiao Zijin felt justified taking the money. Was Ding Jiayi expecting her to live on the streets with her son?

Recalling Chen Feng, Qiao Zijin’s expression changed.

Qiao Zijin rarely contacted Chen Jun. Actually, they didn’t contact each other at all. She was still in the capital the last time they met. Chen Jun once said that he hoped to meet Zhai Sheng so that he could get closer to his once brother-in-law. After all, they were ‘relatives’ for some time.

His pride was worth nothing when it came to getting a promotion. To get on the Wang family’s good side, he first agreed to hit on Qiao Nan before marrying Qiao Zijin. It was obvious that Chen Jun would do anything to get what he wanted.

Compared to Qiao Zijin, he liked Qiao Nan more. In other words, Qiao Nan was the only woman he liked. Unfortunately, Chen Jun chose his career over Qiao Nan. He went into a relationship with both of them for his future, so it was a given that he could ignore his feelings for Qiao Nan as he focused on his job.

Qiao Nan had married Zhai Sheng anyway.

Qiao Nan had rejected him three years ago, so there was no way that she would give up Zhai Sheng for him now. However, if Qiao Nan still treasured their memories and cared about Chen Feng, it would be a great opportunity for Chen Jun and his son.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that he couldn’t afford to miss.

With such determination in mind, Chen Jun had already put his pride behind him. He wanted to get whatever he could from Qiao Nan to pave the path for him and his son. For that, he even contacted Qiao Zijin.

Chen Jun’s thoughts were idealistic. Before Qiao Zijin called Chen Jun to tell him to forget about Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng, he had already figured things out for himself. He got the news that Wang Yang was in a lawsuit against Qiao Nan for the Zhu family’s inheritance.

Chen Jun had no choice but to be worried when Wang Yang and Qiao Nan got involved. He remembered clearly how he got to know Qiao Nan in the first place, and he knew how furious Qiao Nan was when she found out the ugly truth about her first love.

He lied to Qiao Nan about his love and cheated on her with Qiao Zijin. When Qiao Zijin was pregnant, he forced Qiao Nan to leave him. The ugly past was reminding Chen Jun that he had absolutely no right to show up before Qiao Nan again.

If Qiao Nan held grudges against him for all his wrongdoings, she could destroy him with her power and authority.

In the end, he might lose everything that he had.

After considering the risks, Chen Jun decided to tuck his tail and live a normal life.

Since Chen Jun didn’t contact Qiao Zijin, she had a rough idea of his decision. It didn’t take long for her to forget about the incident. She thought that this meant that she wouldn’t see Chen Jun again until the end of his life. However, she didn’t expect that day to come so soon. “What? Are you sure that Chen Jun is dying?”

At first, Qiao Zijin thought that it was a lame scam call that would never work on her. She wouldn’t be worried if a man like Chen Jun were on his deathbed. In fact, she might be glad to witness his death.

Chen Jun was wealthy, and he had everything he needed. She was the tragic one that deserved a little financial help.

Why would he be calling her? She no longer had anything to do with Chen Jun.

Qiao Zijin wanted to hang up the phone, but the man on the phone continued. “Mr. Chen’s situation is complicated, and we will have to meet up for the details. Your son is still a teenager, and he will need a legal guardian. For now, it seems like that person has to be you.”
