Chapter 1049 I Don’t Care Anymore
Thinking of this, Miao Jing felt pleased and energized as if she had drunk some tonics. “Today, Nan Nan will sleep in Hua Hua’s room. The two young ladies can have more time to chat and discuss life. Isn’t that good?”
Miao Jing could finally set her mind at ease now that Zhai Hua was willing to leave Wei De. But she had another problem to worry about.
Her daughter was no longer young. Since Wei De was not suitable for her, they had to break up right away. But she had to find another boyfriend as soon as possible.
She wanted both her son and daughter to be married and start a family.
“Alright,” Zhai Hua replied. The other rooms were not as comfortable as her room. Besides, she also wanted to discuss with Qiao Nan regarding the issue of having children.
The Zhai family was chatting happily when the auntie was needed outside the house. By the time she returned, there was a strange look on her face. She kept looking at Qiao Nan as if she had something to say.
“Auntie, what’s wrong?” Qiao Nan did not make things difficult for the auntie. She waited until the auntie returned to the kitchen before she came up with an excuse, saying that she was thirsty, and went to the kitchen to pour a cup of tea for herself. Now that they were alone by themselves, she took the chance to ask the auntie what was wrong.
There was evident concern in the auntie’s eyes. “Nan Nan, I don’t know if I should tell you or not. I feel that you will be upset if you find out about it. But at the same time, I am worried that if you are kept in the dark, you will be deceived by others.”
“What happened? Is it that serious?”
“One of the neighbors in the quad told me that two hours ago, your mom and your sister carried a lot of bags with them and went out.” Today was the day before Lunar New Year’s eve. Most people would spend their time with their families.
Besides, everyone in the quad knew that the Qiao family did not have many relatives.
Qiao Dongliang and the two daughters were the only ones left in the Qiao family. Moreover, Ding Jiayi had severed all ties with the Ding family.
Where could Ding Jiayi be going with so many bags on a special day like the day before the Lunar New Year’s eve?
She would most probably be looking for Qiao Dongliang.
The couple had a divorce and they did not part happily. Why would they be in contact with each other now? Were they thinking of reconciling with each other?
Otherwise, why did they not have another partner despite having divorced many years ago?
The auntie would side with Qiao Nan no matter what. She felt that as long as Ding Jiayi was around, Qiao Nan would not have good days ahead of her.
Thankfully, Qiao Nan was about to be married to Zhai Sheng and she would be part of the Zhai family.
Perhaps Ding Jiayi had yet to reconcile with Qiao Dongliang and Qiao Nan would have already married Zhai Sheng.
Ding Jiayi might be harsh to Qiao Nan, but after Qiao Nan left the family, she could not possibly go to the Zhai family’s residence to bully her.
“Two hours?” Qiao Nan lowered her eyes and curled the corners of her lips. “Auntie, you don’t have to worry about me. But I have to thank you for telling me about this piece of news. If they want to get back together, so be it. Back then, my dad felt that he could not live the rest of his life with my mom, so he filed for a divorce. Perhaps he now feels that he will have a better life being with my mom. I did not stop him from getting a divorce. If he wants to marry, I will not object either.”
Two hours…
If her father did not accept Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin, they did not even need two hours to travel to and fro the Qiao family’s residence in the small quad. At most, they would only need one and a half hours.
In that case, although her father did not agree to go back to have dinner with them on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he allowed Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin to have dinner with him on the day before the Lunar New Year’s eve.
Qiao Nan could not help but feel disgusted.
She was relieved that back then, she had not thought of taking advantage of Ping Cheng High School. She intended to return the house to the school after she had some money. That was why she never told her father that the house actually belonged to her.
Otherwise, some people might become ill-disciplined and out of control when they were at the house.
“It’s good that you have sorted out your thoughts. You are about to get married. Times have changed, but some old sayings are still very true. A daughter married is like water spilled. In the future, you have your in-laws, the chief, madam, and the entire family on your side.”
The auntie patted Qiao Nan’s hands. Some people did not know to cherish her or realize her value. However, there were people who treasured Qiao Nan and recognized her value. They would do anything to protect and safeguard her.
She should not be bothered with these people!
“Auntie, I will leave the kitchen first.” Qiao Nan brought a teapot of freshly brewed tea out to the living room. She remembered that she came up with this excuse to go to the kitchen.
Even though the auntie and Qiao Nan kept a low profile, the Zhai family was sharp and perceptive. Their behavior did not go unnoticed.
There were only a few members in the Qiao family.
There were only a few people that would be able to irritate and upset Qiao Nan.
The elders in the Zhai family kept their silence, but Zhai Hua could not contain her sharp tongue. “Did you leave any valuables at home?”
Perhaps after spending a night at the Zhai family’s residence, the valuables would be gone by the time Qiao Nan went back home.
“No.” Qiao Nan poured tea for everyone. “I have deposited all the money that I earned while working and studying to my bank account. It’s easier for the school to deduct the tuition fees. As for the card, I did not bring it with me. I have left it at my master’s house.”
Valuables?
Although the house belonged to her, she was not used to keeping any valuables at the place where she seldom stayed in.
Zhai Hua had not been to the Lin family’s residence in the capital.
Therefore, she was not aware that Lin Yuankang’s house was not a place that anyone could enter.
In Lin Yuankang’s house, there was a safe deposit box hidden behind one of the drawings that were hung on the wall in the room that Qiao Nan stayed in. Lin Yuankang told Qiao Nan the password so that she could keep her valuables inside the safe.
After opening the safe deposit box, Qiao Nan realized that Lin Yuankang had left many valuables in the safe.
Initially, Qiao Nan thought that she would not have the chance to use the safe deposit box. However…
After Qiao Nan went to the capital for her college studies, Qiao Dongliang handed all the important documents like her identity card and household register of family members for Qiao Nan to safeguard.
As time passed by, Qiao Nan began to use the safe deposit box to keep her valuables.
Qiao Nan would be staying in the capital for four years. She would have to keep her valuables in the safe deposit box.
When she was in Ping Cheng, she would not keep her valuables at the house that Ping Cheng High School gave her. She would pass all the valuables to Zhai Sheng for him to bring it back to the Zhai family’s residence.
“I heard from Zhai Sheng that the house that you and your dad are living in belongs to you. Where is the title deed?” Zhai Hua felt that it was better to be on the safe side.
Ding Jiayi took the money from Qiao Nan’s scholarship four to five years ago and spent it on the other daughter.
