Chapter 2365: Sticking to One’s Opinions (3)
“Nan Nan’s having the examinations in a few days. Mom said that Nan Nan has a strong knowledge foundation and doesn’t need to revise for these couple of days. Rather than making herself so tense, why doesn’t she relax and take the examinations in the most relaxed manner? She’s not taking the college entrance examinations. Based on Nan Nan’s usual performance, as long as she maintains her standards, it’s not difficult for her to handle the examinations at all.”
“So…” Qiao Dongliang only felt that Zhai Sheng was saying that Qiao Nan’s results were not bad and she had studied well. He couldn’t tell where Qiao Nan and the three children were now.
Zhai Sheng was speechless at how Qiao Dongliang was unable to grasp the important points of his words. Sure, treat it that he had said nothing just now. He heard from Nan Nan that his father-in-law liked smart children who knew how to study. If the Qiao family hadn’t harmed Nan Nan, based on her hardworking character, even if she didn’t use the Qiao family’s money, she would definitely have relied on her efforts and thought of ways to graduate from university.
Nan Nan was completely delayed by the Qiao family.
“Nan Nan’s playing with the three children in the playroom.” Since Qiao Dongliang couldn’t grasp the main point and feel the central meaning he had wanted to express in his words, Zhai Sheng kept his thoughts and no longer wasted his breath.
Based on Qiao Dongliang’s attitude today, he had made this call in vain. In the future, unless Qiao Dongliang took the initiative to call them, they shouldn’t call him and disturb his exciting life alone.
“Dad, there’s nothing else. I’m hanging up the call.”
After having this thought, Zhai Sheng no longer continued to waste his phone bill. He hung up the call with a slam.
He was going to treat it as if he hadn’t made this call today.
“What’s wrong?” Qiao Nan, who came out to pour water for the three children, saw that Zhai Sheng didn’t look too good. “Were there changes in Ding Jiayi’s illness? Or did Qiao Zijin kick up a fuss in a public place like the hospital?”
Zhai Sheng said to hand over all the Qiao family’s matters to him. Qiao Nan knew too clearly how formidable the Qiao family was and didn’t really throw the entire burden to Zhai Sheng for him to carry alone. She still remembered how tough it had been for her to carry this burden initially and didn’t dare to forget it. She had suffered before. How would she let Zhai Sheng, her lover, suffer such hardships again? “Tell me the situation. If there’s really no other way, I’ll make a trip back to Ping Cheng. There will always be a solution to the matter. Anyway, no matter how much Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi kick up a fuss now, I won’t give them face and let them succeed.”
That was right as well. Aside from her father, she was the only one left in the Qiao family. Regardless of if it was Ding Jiayi or Qiao Zijin kicking up a fuss in the hospital, no one could hold them back. She was different. She was also surnamed Qiao. The people in the Qiao family were the kind who only wanted to enjoy life and not work.
Based on Qiao Dongliang’s pension alone and without Qiao Nan’s monthly subsidies, it would have been impossible for the Qiao family of three to live until today.
How much money was there in Qiao Dongliang’s monthly pension? How much money was required for a family of three’s daily meals? Qiao Dongliang didn’t even spend a single cent of the pension he received monthly. All of it went into Ding Jiayi’s pockets, and he watched silently as Ding Jiayi made plans using this amount of money.
Once Qiao Dongliang left, this small pension no longer had anything to do with Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin. This retirement sum might not be a lot. However, Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi were unemployed and didn’t earn any salary.
Having meager benefits was better than nothing.
The problem was that Qiao Dongliang’s pension was so low and it was gone now. As such, Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi could only rely on the small sum of money that Qiao Nan provided every month. Didn’t they say that those with money had the biggest say?
Qiao Nan had provided Ding Jiayi’s and Qiao Zijin’s living expenses. Thus, they had to listen to Qiao Nan’s words. If they were disobedient? If Qiao Nan was annoyed and reduced or even cut off their living expenses, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin would only suffer then. Ding Jiayi had never gone out to work in this lifetime, let alone save part of her money for rainy days. Qiao Zijin had quite a lot of money in her pocket. She still had one million yuan.
The problem was that Qiao Zijin didn’t want to use this sum of money at all. If it wasn’t that Qiao Zijin was reluctant to part with her money, seeing that Ding Jiayi was picking on her, would she have thought of all ways to fight with her biological mother and anger her such that she was admitted into the hospital? Qiao Zijin had more than a million yuan. As long as she wasn’t willing to use this sum of money, to Ding Jiayi, this sum didn’t exist at all. She wouldn’t have a chance to use it.
Unless Qiao Zijin no longer wanted to take advantage of Ding Jiayi, Qiao Nan, who gave Ding Jiayi monthly living expenses, would be Ding Jiayi’s and Qiao Zijin’s sugar daddy. If they wanted to spend Qiao Nan’s money, they had to listen to Qiao Nan. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t have money.
It was still that saying. Whoever had money was the boss.
After slowly grasping this reason, Qiao Nan no longer armed herself with indifference like before when she saw Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi. To put it bluntly, the more indifferent her attitude was to Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin, to the extent that she avoided seeing them, the more it would seem like an act of evasion. She had money and a good husband like Zhai Sheng. Her in-laws were willing to support her. What was there to be afraid of when she saw Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi?
In a few years, after the triplets grow up, she would have three more people supporting her. There were so many people behind her. Who were Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi?
After cheering herself up, Qiao Nan’s frown disappeared. Her face seemed to be covered by a layer of sunshine, making her performance seem even brighter.
To Qiao Nan, the existences of Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were like curses. If she ignored Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi, Qiao Nan could truly liberate herself and be reborn.
Zhai Sheng didn’t expect that because of that call where he was dissatisfied with his father-in-law, Qiao Dongliang, Qiao Nan would become more open-minded after those words. She was different from before as well. Even if it was just a misunderstanding, it was definitely a beautiful one. “Don’t worry. This has nothing to do with Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi. I just called Dad.”
“My dad?” Qiao Nan didn’t misunderstand who this ‘dad’ was. If it was referring to Zhai Yaohui, there wasn’t a need to call.
