Chapter 2214: So Good
After thinking about this, Ding Jiayi didn’t have much energy left in her to continue talking to Qiao Zijin. She knew that after all the talk, it was all about Qiao Zijin’s interests only. This had nothing to do with her. Why should she continue to work hard for ‘someone else’s’ matters?
“…” Ding Jiayi’s reaction caught Qiao Zijin off guard. She never expected that her mom would be able to say such rational words to her one day. Qiao Zijin nearly wanted to ask Ding Jiayi if she had eaten the wrong medicine recently during the time that she wasn’t by her side.
“Mom, don’t rush to tell me about your feelings first. Alright, you could not care that I’m bullied by my dad and Qiao Nan. However, Qiao Nan’s going to be rich soon. Don’t you have any thoughts about this at all? You’re Qiao Nan’s biological mother. There’s no reason for her to be rich but she’s still leaving you alone in Ping Cheng to lead a tough life, right? Based on her current wealth, she can totally buy a big villa in Ping Cheng for you to live in and hire a nanny to take care of you. She’s leading a good life but doesn’t care much about you. Mom, are you willing to take this lying down? Mom, you haven’t come to the capital before. You don’t know how good the capital is. Mom, I feel that you should come over to the capital to enjoy life now.”
She couldn’t persuade her mom to come over to the capital because of her own interests. That was fine. There were still her mom’s interests.
Didn’t her mom used to say that when she became successful and married well, she should afford a bigger and better place for her mom to live in? Her mom even said that before getting married, she was the one who had done all the household chores. After getting married and serving her man, she even had to serve both her daughters.
As such, her mom’s biggest wish in this lifetime was to stay in a big house and hire a nanny to take care of her so that she no longer needed to cook, wash clothes, and clean the house by herself. She could be an old lady enjoying life.
Her mom had such ideals. However, she couldn’t help her mom realize them. Qiao Nan had the opportunity though. Of course, in order to realize her ideals, her mom couldn’t just think about it. She had to take actual actions. As long as her mom arrived in the capital and they combined forces, she didn’t believe that she couldn’t deal with Qiao Nan.
“Mom, let’s do this. Let’s not talk about how much Qiao Nan will be willing to take care of you if you come over to the capital. I still have something on hand now. As long as you help me do this, regardless of whether you want to continue living in the capital or return to Ping Cheng in the future, I’ll give you one million yuan to support your life in the future. How’s that?”
Inspired by Wang Yang and upon thinking about Ding Jiayi’s love for money, Qiao Zijin immediately proposed a monetary transaction. Her mom shouldn’t have seen so much money in this lifetime before, let alone be the owner of this sum of money.
As such, if her mom came over to the capital this time around, it wasn’t to help her. It was to help herself.
“One million yuan?” As a person who valued money a lot, in the face of a huge sum of one million yuan, how could she not be tempted at all? “You only have slightly more than one million yuan on you. If you give me one million yuan, you’ll be left with only two or three hundred thousand yuan. Is that enough for you?” Why didn’t she find these words to be believable? She liked money. Zijin was a child that she raised. As such, she liked money as well. No, she should say that she liked money more than her.
What matter would allow Zijin to take out most of her savings just so that she could get her, the biological mother, help?
“You shouldn’t be still thinking about marrying Zhai Sheng, right? Zhai Sheng isn’t Chen Jun. You can succeed with Chen Jun. However, if the same situation happens to Zhai Sheng, it will definitely not succeed. Don’t even think about it.”
Ding Jiayi still understood this. Chen Jun was flawed. If not for Qiao Zijin being pregnant with Chen Jun’s child, Ding Jiayi wouldn’t have turned him from her little son-in-law to her eldest son-in-law. If Ding Jiayi was really bad-hearted, once she heard about Chen Jun’s conditions, she would have relentlessly forced Qiao Nan to break up with Chen Jun and get Qiao Zijin to try her best to seduce Chen Jun.
In reality, before knowing that Chen Jun and Qiao Zijin had already done the deed, Ding Jiayi never did anything like this before. The problem was that after Qiao Zijin got pregnant, it wasn’t difficult for Ding Jiayi to sacrifice a daughter whom she didn’t like for the daughter that she liked and a grandson.
However, there was a big premise for these things to happen. Chen Jun had made such a mistake. Upon thinking about the Zhai family, Ding Jiayi felt that it was impossible for Zhai Sheng to do such a thing.
When Chen Jun made a mistake, although Qiao Zijin wasn’t as good-looking as Qiao Nan, she was, after all, a virgin. Now, Qiao Zijin was still not as good-looking as Qiao Nan and she had derailed in her marriage before. Furthermore, Zhai Sheng was more of a gentleman compared to Chen Jun. Ding Jiayi knew that the righteous Zhai Sheng would never do such a ridiculous thing.
Zhai Sheng wasn’t related to Qiao Zijin at all. Even if Ding Jiayi had given birth to Qiao Nan and she was Zhai Sheng’s mother-in-law, she wasn’t capable of getting Zhai Sheng to divorce Qiao Nan and remarry Qiao Zijin instead. She was Qiao Nan’s biological mother, not Zhai Sheng’s biological mother. She couldn’t bring herself to do such coquettish acts.
“…” Qiao Zijin gritted her teeth. It wasn’t that she didn’t have such thoughts, but she just didn’t have a chance to say it. She had already succeeded with Chen Jun. Who said that it would only be a failure if she tried it on Zhai Sheng this time? Of course, in order to succeed, Ding Jiayi had to cooperate and work hard alongside her too. However, Ding Jiayi was the first to say no now and wanted to distance herself from her. That means she didn’t even need to think about what happened later. “Mom, what are you talking about? It’s not about this. I want to tell you that after Qiao Nan went to the capital, she acknowledged a wealthy godfather. Now that this old man is dead…”
Qiao Zijin took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her throat back into her stomach. “After that old man died, he left everything to Qiao Nan.”
“Is there such a good thing?” Ding Jiayi didn’t understand. Why was it that to others, the daughter she didn’t like had so many positive qualities? She couldn’t even control herself to spend less money on Qiao Nan. She didn’t understand why there were still people her age who ‘couldn’t think through things well’ and left behind their hard-earned money of a lifetime to a child with whom they had no blood relationship. “Is there a lot of money? How much is there?”
