Chapter 1510: What Reason Do You Have?
“I am the best in the Ding family. The Ding family will have to depend on me to live well. Me! Ding Jiayi!”
Who else could raise a child to be as successful as hers? It didn’t matter if it was a boy or a girl. The only thing that matters was that her child was the better one. Who else could find a job in the capital? Who else could become a politician?
Who?
Who?
Ding Jiayi was the only one! Her belly was the most worthy of all!
“Mom, what’s wrong with you!” Qiao Zijin grabbed Ding Jiayi’s sleeves. “It’s been so long. People might think that you are crazy if you keep acting like this. Also, don’t forget about our relationship with Qiao Nan. Would she even admit that you are her mother? What does her success have to do with you?”
“Why would she not admit it? She has no reason not to admit it. She is a governor now, and the whole country has got eyes on her. I raised her, and no one would forgive her if she doesn’t admit it. If she dares to do that, I will create a scene and bring her down with me!”
Against Qiao Nan, Ding Jiayi would never go easy. If she were a normal mother, she would never threaten Qiao Nan’s job despite her anger. However, Ding Jiayi had no such worries. If she couldn’t enjoy Qiao Nan’s success, why would she allow Qiao Nan to hold such a high status?
She gave Qiao Nan her life, so what’s wrong with making Qiao Nan repay her? How could Qiao Nan reach that position without her?
Although Qiao Nan’s hard work was important, she was the one that gave birth to Qiao Nan, and she was the one that allowed Qiao Nan to do anything in the first place.
Ding Jiayi felt that there was nothing wrong with Qiao Nan repaying her, and she definitely didn’t feel bad. “I’m moving out of Ping Cheng, I’m going to live in the capital. I will never be a loser again. Hahaha!!”
No one was as lucky as her, and she had the best child.
She always knew that she was an extraordinary woman. The Ding family was ignorant, for they disliked her and sold her to an old and ugly man in exchange for her brother’s wedding gift. Everything was the Ding family’s fault, and she did nothing wrong!
“Zijin, I hate to say this, but how can you behave like this as a university graduate? Staying up through the night and sleeping during the day, what have you turned yourself into? Also, how long has it been since you visited your daughter? Do you still care about your marriage? Don’t stay with me all the time. Go back to your husband!”
She wanted to leave for the capital, and the house here would be empty. If no one took care of Zijin, Zijin would live like a pig. This house carried Ding Jiayi’s memories, and she didn’t want Qiao Zijin to turn it into ruins. The best solution was for Qiao Zijin to go back to her in-laws.
“No!” Qiao Zijin’s expression changed. “The reason for me being here is that Zhou Zheng slapped in the face. I’ve never even been beaten by you. How could Zhou Zheng have the guts to slap me?” Her parents never laid a finger on her before, so Zhou Zheng had no reason to beat her.
Why would she need a man like that?
He wouldn’t compare to a fraction of Zhai Sheng, and Zhai Sheng would never beat a woman. These thoughts elevated Qiao Zijin’s burning anger. She wanted to divorce and make the Zhou family return everything they had received from her.
Didn’t she have a mirror? Why was she acting like the victim when she was the one cheating? How shameless!
Ding Jiayi frowned. “How can you blame Zhou Zheng for this? I think it was your fault. I have divorced with your father for so many years, but have I ever disgraced myself? Your father is still the only man in my life. You, on the other hand, are already messing around with other men while being married. As long as Zhou Zheng is a man, he would never forgive you for this.”
Ding Jiayi found her embarrassing.
Qiao Zijin had given birth to a daughter after two years into the Zhou family. Thankfully, the Zhou family didn’t discriminate against her. The elders cherished their granddaughter, and they didn’t even need Qiao Zijin to take care of her.
Not only the elders, but Zhou Zheng loved his daughter as well.
For that, Ding Jiayi was satisfied with the Zhou family. She had the right to discriminate against her daughter, but she wouldn’t allow others to judge her granddaughter. Nothing meant more than that to Ding Jiayi.
Who would have known that Qiao Zijin would start making a scene just a few years in.
She was caught in another man’s bed by Zhou Zheng. Instead of apologizing, Qiao Zijin went rampant. Zhou Zheng, enraged, gave Qiao Zijin a slap across her cheek. Qiao Zijin then returned to her mother’s place in a fit of anger. It’s been two months ever since, and Qiao Zijin hadn’t gone back to her in-laws.
Qiao Zijin demanded Zhou Zheng’s apology, or she would never return to the Zhou family. Why did he have to hit her? As long as Zhou Zheng raised his hand, he was the one at fault. There was no other way around this!
At home, Ding Jiayi took care of Qiao Zijin just like before. Other than the fact that Qiao Zijin had to pay for her expenses, it was the same as the old days. Of course, Qiao Zijin had forgotten about returning to the Zhou family after she got comfortable at home.
When Ding Jiayi wanted to go to the capital, Qiao Zijin couldn’t control her temper. Ding Jiayi’s scolding made her mood even worse. “Mom, are you my mother or Zhou Zheng’s mother? How can you turn against your daughter? Aren’t you angry that Zhou Zheng hit me? He doesn’t have the right to hit me no matter what the reason is!”
Ding Jiayi snorted as she packed her clothes. “Did Zhou Zheng not have a reason to hit you?”
