Chapter 856 Blame Each Other

So what if they were engaged? There were also many people who divorced after marriage.

Having said that, this person was given a round of scolding by his own elderly father after he arrived home.

The Qiao family of four was considered good-tempered and quite reasonable. This included Ding Jiayi’s behavior when she was with outsiders. Everyone would see each other frequently. Hence, they got along quite well.

From all perspectives, as a neighbor, no one would behave like his son who harmed his neighbor for the sake of a few yuan. It was too embarrassing.

This elderly man used to serve in the Red Army. After he retired from the army, he had seen less of his former comrades, let alone meeting a character like the old chief.

This was a good opportunity and his only one but it had been ruined by his son for the sake of a meager sum of money. How would this elderly man not feel angry?

He was so furious that he wanted to search out that rattan cane that he had used to discipline his son thirty years ago so that he could give him a good beating. His son was really too materialistic.

Fortunately, the Qiao family was very benevolent. Clearly, his son had done something so mean but the Qiao family had never spread this incident to others in the quad. At most, they just did not invite his family when Qiao Nan was getting engaged with the chief’s son this time.

At the thought of this matter, the elderly man felt so flustered and embarrassed that he did not have the shame to go out and meet anyone.

On the second day, the elderly man was simply taken ill. He spent a lot of money after visiting the hospital.

This neighbor then pulled Qiao Nan aside and spoke to her briefly. He told her that he only earned fifty yuan but he spent two hundred and fifty yuan for his father to seek medical consultation at the hospital.

Hearing this figure, the neighbor kept having the feeling that he was slapping his own face.

It was just that it was too late for regrets now.

This was not the only family that had a dispute because of Qiao Nan’s engagement.

Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi had gotten a divorce. Although Ding Jiayi did not appear throughout the entire divorce process, the divorce certificate still reached her hands.

Holding the divorce certificate, Ding Jiayi seemed very out of sorts. Tears rolled down her eyes uncontrollably and she did not eat for the whole day.

They had divorced. They were truly divorced. From today onward, Ding Jiayi was really no longer Qiao Dongliang’s wife.

At the thought that she lost her husband despite the fact that she was already not young, Ding Jiayi even thought of dying. “Look, it’s all your fault. You kept asking me to make a fuss. Your dad has divorced me. Are you happy now? The court has awarded me custody of you and your dad custody of Qiao Nan. I… Your dad and I will be considered as two separate families from now onward!”

Qiao Zijin, who was similarly feeling angry and sullen, did not like to hear this from Ding Jiayi most. “Can you blame me? I gave you a suggestion but look at what you have done. You clearly know that my dad is still angry and that he cares most about Qiao Nan, yet you had to be at odds with him in front of the Zhai family. It’s no wonder that Dad would divorce you.”

At the thought of Ding Jiayi’s behavior that day, Qiao Zijin was enduring a tummy full of anger.

If Qiao Zijin had not played a part in Ding Jiayi’s hospitalization-she was the one who asked Ding Jiayi to appear at that place that day-given Qiao Zijin’s temper, she would have flared up badly at Ding Jiayi long ago for the incident that happened on the day that Qiao Nan became the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

“Don’t forget. You, and not Dad, Qiao Nan, or me, are the one in the wrong for matters in the past. Clearly, you have such good requisites…” Qiao Zijin looked at Ding Jiayi, who was covered with injuries and bandages from tip to toe. “Humans will always sympathize with the weaker ones. You can kneel down, and you can cry. If Dad dares to pull you up, you can simply pretend to faint on the ground. No matter what, there will definitely be someone who will be willing to help you. Who would know that you’re so stupid? You are so fierce and aggressive to Dad. You’re afraid that no one will know that you call the shots in our family.”

If public opinion had sided with them, Qiao Nan would not even have had a chance to win.

However, her mother simply made a mess out of such a good opportunity. Today, her mother still had the cheek to throw tantrums at her?

“Do you know that Qiao Nan is going to be engaged with the son of chief today! From today onward, Qiao Nan will be the fiancée of the regiment commander. She’s the future daughter-in-law of the chief!”

At the mention of this, Qiao Zijin was so resentful that she nearly broke all her teeth from the grinding.

She was already in the second year of her diploma studies but she could not even find a decent boyfriend. The Chen family seemed to have been defeated but Chen Jun was still very capable and resourceful. She had the intention but Chen Jun did not. He purely saw her as someone who could collaborate with him to deal with Qiao Nan.

She could not even deal with someone like Chen Jun and Qiao Nan had become the wife of a regiment commander!

In the past, Qiao Zijin really did not look up to Zhou Jun. She disliked soldiers and shunned the Zhou family for being farmers. It was not easy for Zhou Jun to have to rely on his own effort to climb up the ranks. She shunned Zhou Jun for being promoted too slowly, that his rank was too low.

However, the wife of a regiment commander or the future wife of a chief-Qiao Zijin was interested in these two positions not only in reality but also in her dreams!

She had not assumed these roles but Qiao Nan had done so easily. Why was this world so unfair to her?!

“Is the Zhai family still willing to accept her? That day, I saw that Madam Zhai fainted when she knew about the relationship between Qiao Nan and Regiment Commander Zhai.” Ding Jiayi was very surprised. She thought that the matter between Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng would be a fiasco because of that day’s matter.

“However, don’t also forget that Madam Zhai gave you a slap before she fainted. She even retorted, scolding you back on Nan Nan’s behalf.” Judging from this point alone, Madam Zhai did not seem to detest Qiao Nan very much.

“This…” Ding Jiayi felt depressed. The situation had escalated so badly. Regiment Commander Zhai could not find a wife and wanted someone like Qiao Nan. The Zhai family had such poor taste. They had to take in a jinx and ignore Qiao Zijin who was the good one. “Something is not right. How did you know about that day’s matter? I didn’t mention it to you before. You described it in such detail. It was as if you were present and had seen it for yourself on that day.”

IIII

“You were present that day!” At this moment, Ding Jiayi came to her senses. “You were there that day. You went there. You saw me being hit by others. You saw your dad dragging and pulling me. My injuries almost came apart. You saw them. Why didn’t you come out and help me? You allowed others to bully me? You even saw the doctors treating me like they would a madwoman and injecting sedatives into me. Zijin, what do you mean by this?”

At the thought of the humiliation she suffered that day, Ding Jiayi’s face turned crimson.

What happened that day was the most embarrassing moment in Ding Jiayi’s life.

The look of despise, the words of sarcasm of those people, and the cold and aloof demeanor as they stood aside and watchedhow could Ding Jiayi not feel embarrassed and upset? It was not as if she did not have a heart.

It was just that as a mother, she was putting on a false strong front before Qiao Zijin, lest Qiao Zijin also became sad and angry along with her.

Who would have known that there was no need for her to keep the matter a secret? Qiao Zijin basically followed her there but did not tell her. She had been watching others bully her and ignoring it. She refused to help her.

“The situation that day was so complicated. Would there be any use if I stepped out? Would I be of any help?”
