Chapter 1015 You Look Down On Me

“…” Qiao Dongliang could not understand what Qiao Nan meant. “Does your sister like Chen Jun or his family background?”

“Chen Jun is good-looking and he is a student from a famous university. My sister likes his looks while his family background is the reason why she would continue with this relations.h.i.+p and to be a couple with him.” It was because of the Chen family background that Qiao Zijin was able to accept Chen Jun and be with him.

“Did your sister accept Chen Jun and be his girlfriend because of his family background?” Qiao Dongliang finally understood, but he felt bitterly disappointed.

Since when did love between two people become based on material gains?

Qiao Nan stood up. “Dad, it’s late. I will wash up and go to sleep. Don’t think too much. Sister has grown up. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, she has the ability to take responsibility for her own life. I am not trying to upset you. But unless she has sorted out her thoughts, she will not listen to what you say even if you come up with a hundred and eight reasons why she and Chen Jun are not suitable. Instead, she will be annoyed with you and will blame you for ruining her happiness.”

After she said that, Qiao Nan left, not willing to persuade her father further.

Qiao Zijin was her father’s biological daughter. He could never bring himself to ignore her. However, she had given up on her and was thus able to make objective comments of her closest relative.

She was once killed by her two closest relatives. Now that she had another chance to live, she would never allow herself to be ruined by the two of them.

Qiao Nan bathed to her heart’s content, not caring about the amount of water that she used. She went back to her room after the shower, hugged her blanket that smelled nice, and slept soundly.

Qiao Dongliang sat alone in the living room for more than an hour, deep in his thoughts.

Even though Qiao Nan had made things very clear, Qiao Dongliang sighed and made a call to Qiao Zijin’s dormitory as soon as he woke up the next day. “h.e.l.lo, I am Qiao Zijin’s father. Yes. Thank you, cla.s.smate.”

After a while, Qiao Zijin came to answer the phone. “Dad, what’s the matter? Oh, yeah, Nan Nan is not at home. You don’t have to worry about anything. Dad, is anything the matter?”

This was not the first time that Qiao Dongliang called Qiao Zijin. Even though he had not been calling her frequently, Qiao Zijin was not surprised that Qiao Dongliang would call her.

“Zijin, you are still young and in school. I feel that it is better to call off what you told me previously.”

“Dad, what do you mean by this? Nan Nan can be engaged while I am not allowed to introduce my boyfriend to you and Mom? Why? Is it because Nan Nan is engaged to Zhai Sheng, while my boyfriend is not as good as Zhai Sheng, so you look down on him?” Qiao Zijin was unhappy.

Qiao Nan was lucky to be engaged to Zhai Sheng.

She always thought that Zhai Sheng was merely toying with Qiao Nan and was not serious about her.

By the time Zhai Sheng grew tired of Qiao Nan, she would be cheated of her feelings and would have lost her chast.i.ty to Zhai Sheng. By then, Qiao Nan must be feeling miserable and it would be time for her to take her revenge.

Unfortunately, she heard the news this summer break that Qiao Nan was engaged to Zhai Sheng. She was so angry that she almost fainted.

Qiao Zijin knew all along that Chen Jun was willing to be her boyfriend and took the initiative to meet her parents was highly due to Qiao Nan’s relations.h.i.+p with Zhai Sheng.

Since Qiao Zijin was left with no other choice and there was no better man than Chen Jun, she agreed to be his girlfriend.

“This is not about whether I look down on him or not!” Qiao Dongliang could not help but raise his voice. Back when he told Nan Nan that Zhai Sheng was unsuitable for her, she might be upset, but she would not talk to him using such an att.i.tude. “You should know about the Zhai family. The situation is different and one has to deal with it differently. It has nothing to do with their social status. Besides, let me ask you. Do you know that Chen Jun used to pursue Nan Nan in the past?”

“…” Qiao Zijin was shocked. She did not expect that Qiao Dongliang would ask such a question.

“Why did you keep quiet?” Qiao Dongliang frowned, widening his eyes in shock. “Did you know about it?!”

“It doesn’t matter if I know about it or not. What’s important is that Chen Jun is my boyfriend now and he will be your son-in-law in the future. This is what you need to know!”

Chen Jun told her that his father almost became the police commissioner of Ping Cheng police headquarters.

He was not too far off now either. At the very least, he was the chief of the police station.

Chen Jun said that once the Chen family and the Zhai family were related by marriage, even if the Zhai family was not willing to help them, it would be a huge help to the Chen family to make use of their reputation to their advantage. Chen Jun’s father would be able to transfer back to Ping Cheng police headquarters in no time.

Everyone in the quad would look up to Zhai Sheng.

Although Qiao Zijin did not dream of a day where Zhai Sheng would take a fancy to her, it was already a dream come true for her to know someone like Chen Jun.

Qiao Zijin was glad that she had a boyfriend like Chen Jun. However, Qiao Nan was engaged to Zhai Sheng that she knew was beyond her reach. On top of that, if Qiao Nan was not engaged to Zhai Sheng, Chen Jun might not be willing to be her boyfriend.

She was older and prettier than Qiao Nan. She was also smarter than her. However, Qiao Nan was doing better than her in all aspects. She could not take it lying down.

Qiao Zijin could not understand why things turned out to be this way.

Qiao Zijin felt much better after venting her pent-up frustration at Qiao Dongliang. She was about to tell Qiao Dongliang to think of ways for her to be closer to Qiao Nan, and for the Zhai family to be on good terms with the Chen family when she heard the dial tone from the other side of the phone. “How dare you hang up on me!”

Qiao Zijin stomped her foot angrily and made a call to Ding Jiayi. “Mom, Dad called me just now and growled at me to break up with Chen Jun. He even hung the phone on me. What did he mean by that? How dare he lose his temper at me?”

“…” Ding Jiayi was silent. “Qiao Nan came back yesterday because of what happened to Zhai Hua. I have seen her.” Qiao Zijin was doing her diploma studies. Since Ding Jiayi was back in Ping Cheng, she would stay at the Qiao family’s residence.

Qiao Dongliang forbade Ding Jiayi from staying or even entering the house that the elderly couple gave to Qiao Nan.

Ding Jiayi could do nothing about it as they were already divorced.

But she felt better knowing that Qiao Dongliang remained single like her. Qiao Dongliang did not have another woman with him. That was why she did not make things difficult for Qiao Dongliang.
