Chapter 2206: Nonsense
It was good if they could still do something at the last minute. However, they didn’t have any contact with Qiao Nan before. What was Qiao Nan’s mobile number? What was her QQ code? What was her Weixin code? Was she on Weibo? In a developed society where there were so many communication tools available, they didn’t know any to reach Qiao Nan. If that was the case, how were they going to befriend her?
It was so difficult for Qiao Nan to give birth to three children. The Zhai family was going to organize their triplets’ full-year celebration? Of course this would be a small event.
If they didn’t have a close relationship with the Zhai family, they wouldn’t even be qualified to visit them. It wasn’t easy for them to finally have this one chance, but it was ruined. A few months ago, they were still looking down on her and found her disdainful. Now, she became a mysterious and inaccessible character. It was infuriating.
However, in order to succeed, how could they give up so easily? Everything in the Zhu family hadn’t landed in Qiao Nan’s hands, right? It was enough as long as they became friends with Qiao Nan before the matter’s done. It couldn’t be that Qiao Nan wouldn’t participate in social gatherings outside just so that she could stay at home and look after the children, right? As long as Qiao Nan stepped outside, they would seize the opportunity and not miss it again.
It was fine for outsiders to be stopped outside. There was someone who was stopped but felt that she shouldn’t be stopped.
The first time when Qiao Nan got married, she, as the biological sister, couldn’t attend the wedding. This was already the second time. Her nephews and niece were celebrating their full month. As their biological aunt, she was stopped outside. Were they insane? “Haven’t I said this clearly? My sister is the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law. We are biological sisters. It’s my nephews’ and niece’s full-month celebration today. I came here specially to see them. Hurry up and get lost!”
She couldn’t even enter where Qiao Nan was living now. No wonder Qiao Nan no longer paid attention to her family and ignored her, the biological sister. Upon thinking that Qiao Nan was going to inherit a huge sum of inheritance soon, Qiao Zijin’s eyes were red with envy.
She called her mom a few times and wanted Ding Jiayi to come over to the capital. By then, it would be better for Qiao Zijin if Qiao Dongliang left and Ding Jiayi stayed. Compared to her dad, of course her mom would help her more.
It was just that until now, her mom hadn’t agreed to come to the capital. She kept saying that it was going to be the new year soon and she didn’t want to run around. She wanted to stay in Ping Cheng with her dad to celebrate the new year.
Back then, Qiao Zijin nearly thought that her hearing was poor. Her dad was going to divorce her mom soon. They didn’t sleep in the same room or on the same bed. Why were they celebrating the new year together? Her mom had such thoughts, but did she ask her dad for his opinion? Would her dad agree to this? Oh, please.
However, that was fine. She would work harder. If she gave up so easily, she wouldn’t be called Qiao Zijin.
“I’m sorry. There are a lot of people who wanted to congratulate them. However, you can’t enter if you don’t have an invitation. Actually, your dad is here today as well. He also entered with an invitation.” They treated everyone the same here.
“You know that my dad is here. How dare you stop me! I’m just careless to have lost the invitation. I’m the triplets’ biological aunt. You should use your brain and think. How would the Zhai family not invite me?”
Anyway, this was the capital. No one knew about her relationship with Qiao Nan. She could say whatever she liked.
“If that’s the case, please give us five minutes. We’ll make a call to confirm.” Did she really lose her invitation? It was easier to just make a call directly to the Zhai family. They would be able to figure out immediately if that was the truth or not. “Hello, there’s someone here who claims to be Chief Zhai’s wife’s biological sister. She wants to attend the triplets’ full-month celebration but accidentally lost the invitation. Is it okay for us to let her in?”
How would Qiao Zijin have thought that the other party acted fast and called the Zhai family directly in front of her?
After hearing this call, Qiao Zijin felt pretty guilty. There was no choice. In the past, she used this tactic in Ping Cheng before. This time, Qiao Nan had been destroying her image in front of the Zhai family. How would they agree to let her in? If the person receiving the call was Qiao Nan, it was even impossible for Qiao Nan to agree. If Qiao Nan still considered that they were blood relatives, she would have long informed their dad to bring her along as well.
“Oh, I see. Sorry to have disturbed.” The call was hung up quickly. “I’m sorry. The Zhai family said that no matter who it is or whichever relative it is, they can only enter with the invitation. Anyway, it is still early now. Why don’t you head back to find the invitation? Once you find it, we’ll let you in.” These words were said in a fake manner. If they really gave her an invitation, based on their relationship, they could let her in even if she had lost the invitation.
However, the Zhai family’s attitude said one thing. They didn’t welcome this person at all. If they didn’t, how would they have given her an invitation in the first place? As such, losing the invitation was most probably just an excuse.
It was an important matter to attend the Zhai family’s triplets’ full-month celebration. Until now, they hadn’t encountered anyone who had lost the invitation. Was the invitation a kind of hard card that could be lost so casually?
The other party had already said it so clearly. Qiao Zijin couldn’t kick up a fuss even if she wanted to. Her parents weren’t around to coax her. Furthermore, in the unfamiliar capital, Qiao Zijin wasn’t so bold.
“You’re surnamed Qiao?” Just when Qiao Zijin didn’t know where to go and was feeling reluctant but had no choice but to leave, a person stepped forward and leaned in. “You’re Qiao Zijin, Qiao Nan’s biological sister?”
“Yes. Who are you?” Qiao Zijin tilted her head. It was a good-looking man who was younger than her. “I don’t seem to know you. How do you know my name?” Even if the news was widespread, she only appeared on Ping Cheng’s regional news channel before. She shouldn’t be so infamous in the capital yet, right?
“You don’t have to know who I am. Let me ask you something. Do you want money?”
“Nonsense!” Who in this world wouldn’t want money?!
The other party showed her a palm. Qiao Zijin raised her eyebrows. “Fifty thousand yuan? On what basis are you giving me that? There’s no free lunch in this world. Also, I’m not an indecent woman.” Even if she wouldn’t be at the losing end for being together with this man, she had to ask this. Also, if she could receive fifty thousand yuan, she was going to make it big.
