1073 Clueless

Qiao Nan would move to the capital with the Zhai family in the future. By doing this, Zhu Chengqi had prevented the situation of others looking down on Qiao Nan whenever she mentioned her maternal family.

If Qiao Nan was bullied by others, the Zhai family would naturally stand up for Qiao Nan.

However, Zhu Chengqi’s approach would not only improve Qiao Nan’s status but also save a lot of trouble. The Zhai family felt that Zhu Chengqi’s plan was quite good.

Of course, it did not matter what Zhu Chengqi and the Zhai family think. Qiao Nan’s opinion was most important. Zhu Chengqi and the Zhai family valued Qiao Nan’s personal view most.

Having received great respect from Zhu Chengqi and the Zhai family, Qiao Nan tried her best to smile. “Let me think over this matter.”

Qiao Nan understood Zhu Chengqi’s good intention.

Qiao Nan also did not take very long to consider this matter. Very soon, she replied to Zhu Chengqi. She was willing to marry from the house of the Zhu family.

The situation of the Qiao family was a little special. Whoever knew the Qiao family was aware that Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi were divorced. Furthermore, Qiao Dongliang left the marriage without receiving any compensation. The house Qiao Dongliang and Qiao Nan were staying at now was rented.

Since that was the case, the rented house could not be considered the maternal house of Qiao Nan.

Qiao Nan had saved the life of Zhu Baoguo, the only grandson of the Zhu family, before. Many people knew about this matter.

Everyone knew in their hearts why the Zhu family was willing to do this.

Amidst this, the most interesting factor was that many people were waiting to be in for a good show.

Ding Jiayi disliked Qiao Nan so much. Besides Ding Jiayi, many people were envious of the Qiao family for having such a pretty, smart, and fortunate daughter like Qiao Nan.

It was a sheer pity that such a good daughter did not belong to their family.

What about son? If they had such a daughter, that would be because they had acc.u.mulated a few lifetimes of good fortune. Why would a son certainly be better than a daughter?

In particular, those who knew Qiao Nan’s and Qiao Zijin’s characters were happy to watch Ding Jiayi and Qiao Dongliang become jokes. They threw away the watermelon for a lousy sesame seed like Qiao Zijin. Each one was blinder than the other.

Initially, many people were jealous of the Qiao family because of Qiao Nan. However, Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi could not appreciate good stuff. They did not want such a good daughter and pushed her away. In the future, no matter how successful Qiao Nan was, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Dongliang would most probably not get to enjoy any good fortune. Many people secretly felt overjoyed at the thought of this.

It was fine that they did not have any of it from the beginning.

However, Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi were already going to lead a good life, yet they pushed it away personally. Were they stupid?

They were not as blessed but they were much smarter than Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi.

Anyone would know that becoming in-laws with the Zhai family was equivalent to gaining a huge achievement in life!

Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi were truly foolish beyond cure.

Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi did not know about these people’s thoughts. They only knew that the Zhu family specially sent someone to the small courtyard of the Qiao family to inform Qiao Dongliang that on the wedding day, Qiao Nan would be married from the house of the Zhu family.

Upon hearing these words from the Zhu family, Qiao Dongliang felt very uneasy and humiliated. He felt that his pride was hurt. “Does Nan Nan know about this?” Nan Nan had a father and a mother, a family of her own. Why did she have to marry from another family’s house?

“Don’t worry. Qiao Nan is aware. She is the one getting married. No matter what, we can’t go against her wishes.” The Zhu family did not mind. Their att.i.tude toward Qiao Dongliang was neither considered good nor polite.

Qiao Dongliang did not have great wisdom but he was still quite blessed.

In his previous life, his elder daughter had a sweet-tongue and bitter heart but she married well. This gave Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi face. Ding Jiayi had been used to exploiting Qiao Nan to satisfy Qiao Zijin but was very good to Qiao Dongliang.

Qiao Nan was the only one who was sacrificed for Qiao Zijin’s wonderful life. Qiao Dongliang did not need to be a slave to satisfy Qiao Zijin’s endless wants. Qiao Nan was the only one who took all the suffering. Besides Qiao Nan, the remaining three members of the Qiao family were, in fact, leading rather good lives.

In this lifetime, when Qiao Dongliang was hospitalized due to a car accident, Ding Jiayi did not fork out a single cent.

Nevertheless, Qiao Dongliang had a good daughter. At the important juncture of life and death, Qiao Nan gritted her teeth, borrowed money from Zhai Sheng, and saved Qiao Dongliang’s life.

Although Qiao Dongliang divorced with Ding Jiayi later on, he resumed interactions with Old Master Lee since Qiao Nan saved Zhu Baoguo’s life. This had also saved the relations.h.i.+p that his elderly father had previously built.

This matter alone was enough to make Qiao Dongliang happier than he was in his previous life.

Thereafter, when Qiao Dongliang and Qiao Nan moved out of the small courtyard of the Qiao family, they received help and support from Princ.i.p.al Meng of Ping Cheng High School. In addition, Zhu Chengqi subsidized them in their living needs. Qiao Dongliang’s life was getting better and better. He had a lot of face too.

Qiao Dongliang knew the prominent figure that others could not become a.s.sociated with. The other party even gifted him a huge television and a telephone.

When humans were used to a good life because of others, they also used less of their brains. When it was really time to use them, naturally, the brains became completely useless.

Qiao Dongliang could not figure out something that everyone else could.

Qiao Dongliang kept feeling that his family was in very good ties with the Zhu family. As such, the Zhu family should give him some face. Who would have expected the Zhu family’s chauffeur to speak to him in a manner that was neither warm nor cold?

Although the other party’s att.i.tude was not especially sn.o.bbish, Qiao Dongliang was able to tell that it was a stark contrast with the previous att.i.tude.

Otherwise, Qiao Dongliang would not feel so upset either.

“Although that courtyard is rented, it’s fine if they can’t store all the items. We can store them in the house of the s.h.i.+ family, which is next door.” Qiao Dongliang, who was feeling unhappy, was also daring. He even dared to retort the Zhu family.

If one house could not accommodate all the items, they would store them in two houses then.

Given his relations.h.i.+p with Director s.h.i.+, certainly Director s.h.i.+ would not refuse to help with such a small matter?

He was certain that he still had s.h.i.+ Peng as a friend who would support him and give him face. He did not need the Zhu family and could still marry his daughter off in a glorious manner. Qiao Dongliang had forgotten that without Qiao Nan, he would not even have a chance to get to know a figure like s.h.i.+ Peng in this lifetime, next lifetime, or even the lifetime after next. He would not have such a relations.h.i.+p with him.

He believed that he had everything. However, they were, in fact, brought to him by Qiao Nan.

This was Qiao Dongliang’s good fortune but also his great misfortune.

Qiao Dongliang believed that he had face and could not see the truth of the matter. However, it did not mean that others were also bad judges of characters. The person from the Zhu family laughed immediately. “What you said is fine as well. Why don’t you give a call to Director s.h.i.+ now? When you have a certain answer, you can confirm where to send the dowry of Miss Qiao.”

“Fine!” The clueless Qiao Dongliang agreed readily without another word.
