1055 Can You Let It Go Just Like That?

If it was possible, Qiao Zijin very much wished to wear this set of clothing to school to let her cla.s.smates take a look.

Qiao Zijin was thinking that this set of clothing was not bad. Furthermore, as the daughter-in-law of the Zhai family, Qiao Nan should have many more clothes that were better than this.

Perhaps Qiao Nan could not even recall that she had such a set of clothing, which she had tucked at the bottom of her closet such that it could not even see the daylight.

By wearing this set of clothing, one set of Qiao Nan’s clothing would not go to waste. It was so environmentally friendly.

Who would have known that Qiao Dongliang would be calling and chasing her to return it after she had worn it for only a few hours? Qiao Zijin felt very unhappy over this.

If she had not remembered deeply what Chen Jun had taught her, Qiao Zijin would have long retorted. Qiao Nan had so many pieces of good clothing. She had only worn this one set, yet she had the shame to ask her to return it. She was too shameless!

She could not provoke her father. No matter how unwilling she was, Qiao Zijin had to feel the pinch and return the clothes to make Qiao Dongliang happy.

Qiao Dongliang wanted her to hurry but Qiao Zijin was a lazy one. She had to wash a set of clothing in winter. Her hands would have to soak until they were red and swollen in the icy water. She was not going to do that.

As such, Qiao Zijin thought of removing the clothes and putting it back in Qiao Nan’s closet. Everything would be resolved then, no?

“You!” Qiao Dongliang was stupefied. Subconsciously, he glanced at Qiao Nan. It was as if he had been given a few slaps on the face by someone. “Zijin, it’s Lunar New Year. Are you kidding with me on purpose? How can clothes that are worn not be dirty? Can you let it go just because no one can tell? Let’s not talk about those outer wear. Those… those inner wear, can you just put them back like that!”

How dirty was that!!!

Qiao Dongliang was easy-going on such matters but he could not accept putting the inner wear back without was.h.i.+ng after wearing them for a few hours. Furthermore, they were borrowed from others!

Upon hearing the gentle reprimand from Qiao Dongliang, Qiao Zijin said reluctantly, “Why don’t we do this? I will return the outer wear first. For the inner wear, I will send them over after I wash and dry them. Qiao Nan has quite a lot of clothes too. She should not discover it if I return it one or two days later.”

“…” Qiao Dongliang’s expression was frozen and stiff. If Qiao Nan had not been listening, Qiao Dongliang had wanted to hang up the phone and run to the small courtyard of the Qiao family to retrieve and wash the clothes himself.

After talking so long to the elder daughter, she refused to abidingly wash all the clothes.

Qiao Dongliang covered the phone receiver and let out a long sigh of exasperation. He looked helpless as he told Qiao Nan. “Your sister is not a bad person. She is just a little lazy. You can’t blame her. She has been spoiled by your mom. It’s quite a torture to wash clothes in the cold winter too.”

So, Nan Nan, please be more forgiving toward your sister.

Qiao Nan did not speak. She allowed Qiao Dongliang to continue with his one-man show. This was because she knew that the matter was not over yet.

“Alright, you don’t need to talk anymore. Return the clothes.” Qiao Dongliang could not flare up at Qiao Nan. In the first place, Qiao Zijin was the one who was in the wrong.

“Dad, is there such a hurry?” Qiao Zijin was really reluctant to remove the clothes from her body. She looked so good wearing them. Although there was no time for her to wear them to school to let her cla.s.smates see, at least, she should be given some time to wear them and take a photo as a memoir or go on a date with Chen Jun. She could then let Chen Jun understand that she could be more dazzling and mesmerizing than Qiao Nan. She was not any less than Qiao Nan.

“Dad, I am not going to lie to you. I’m telling you the truth. This is the first time that I am wearing such good clothes in my entire life. Can you lend them to me to wear for another day? Nan Nan has so many pieces of good clothing. Just one day. She won’t find out. I promise you that I will return them tomorrow.”

She was only borrowing them for one day. Surely, this request was not too much?

In the past, everything in the family belonged to her. Qiao Nan was not even fit to fight with her for things that she wanted.

Now, she could not touch anything that belonged to Qiao Nan. She had to beg and plead to borrow her clothes for one day. She felt so depressed.

Qiao Zijin felt that after knowing Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan had become Cinderella. She was thus leading a life of the upper cla.s.s. However, Qiao Dongliang very proudly knew in his heart. He had very strict and high expectations of Qiao Nan, and Qiao Nan had met them very well.

Precisely, due to that, he could not tolerate such an unreasonable request of Qiao Zijin. “No. Not even for one day. Not even for an hour. Immediately return the clothes. Let me tell you. Nan Nan is a good lady. No matter how good the situation of the Zhai family is, it’s the family’s business that they are wealthy. It has nothing to do with Nan Nan. I can’t interfere in Nan Nan’s life after she is married but Nan Nan is not married yet. Our family does not owe the Zhai family anything. This set of clothing is a gift from the chief’s wife to Nan Nan for reaching adulthood. She accepted it as she didn’t manage to reject it. There are only two sets of clothing given by the chief’s wife in Nan Nan’s closet. Quickly send it back!”

“Two sets?” Qiao Zijin was shocked. So few? “The Zhai family is so petty!”

Perhaps Zhai Sheng did not like Qiao Nan at all. The Zhai family was not that satisfied with Qiao Nan after all.

No matter how honest and upright the Zhai family was, they certainly had some spending power.

However, they were not willing to spend money on Qiao Nan. Hahaha. She had thought that Qiao Nan was having a good life.

“P-petty?” Qiao Dongliang was so angry that his liver trembled. “The Zhai family is willing to give but Nan Nan is not willing to accept. I don’t approve of accepting too! They are not married yet and not one family. Why will one have the shame to accept so many valuable stuff from others?!” He was going to marry off his daughter. He was not selling her!!

Qiao Zijin’s eyes were full of question marks. “Why don’t you approve? Why don’t you let Nan Nan accept them? They are not spending your money anyway.” The Qiao family would be the one benefiting, no?

Since the Zhai family was willing to give, her father should allow them to do so.

Qiao Nan was a little slimmer than her. However, winter clothes were normally bigger. If Qiao Nan had too many gifts, she would not be able to wear all of them. She could give them to her to wear then!

At this moment, Qiao Dongliang already did not wish to continue his conversation with Qiao Zijin. “In short, return the clothes in one hour. It’s fine if you do not wash them. I will get Nan Nan to wash them herself. It’s just that when the time comes… Whether Nan Nan will be angry with you or how long she will be angry at you, you will have to bear the responsibility!”

Qiao Dongliang really could not understand. Qiao Zijin had been telling him many times and seeking his help to make her and Qiao Nan reconcile.

However, at the same time, Qiao Zijin continued to commit foolish acts time and again. She was doing all sorts of things that would make Qiao Nan unhappy.

Qiao Dongliang felt like asking Qiao Zijin whether she really wanted to reconcile with Qiao Nan.

“Dad, don’t… Please don’t.” Qiao Zijin’s face was red with anger. She wanted this set of clothing and she did not want to return them. However, she also did not want to make Qiao Nan angry and caused her father to ignore her.

She had too many wants. However, there was not a single way in this world that could satisfy all her ‘wants’ at the same time.
