It was a pity that although Ding Jiayi was living in the house Qiao Nan rented for her and relying on her money to lead a good life, when there was a conflict between Qiao Nan and Qiao Zijin again, Ding Jiayi still chose to give Qiao Nan up and support Qiao Zijin silently.

As such, Zhai Sheng felt that there was really nothing else to be said between Qiao Nan and Ding Jiayi in the future.

Ding Jiayi turned pale. “Then, what should I do? Zijin is really stubborn. She wouldn’t stop unless you agree to her conditions. Even if I kneel in front of her, she wouldn’t let Nan Nan off because of me, let alone me persuading her. I really have no way to help in this matter. If I do, I definitely would help.”

When Ding Jiayi heard about this situation in the past, she wanted to look on and see who would win between Qiao Zijin and Qiao Nan. At this moment, she was anxious but had no means to do anything.

In front of money, the relations.h.i.+p between mother and daughter might not shake Qiao Zijin’s heart at all, let alone the relations.h.i.+p between sisters.

“So you do know that Qiao Zijin is such a person. I thought you didn’t know.” Zhai Sheng chuckled. “Ideas are always thought of by people. Based on your cleverness, I believe that you can think of a solution. Remember this well. Nan Nan only needs to care about the criticism she faces from the society if she is still in that position. Otherwise, based on your relations.h.i.+p with her, it’s useless to use the so-called ethical imperative on Nan Nan.”

Zhai Sheng wasn’t willing to come up with ideas for Ding Jiayi. He only told her the situation and got her to think of a solution.

“Qiao Zijin is already on the train to the capital. You have less than a day. It’s up to you to come up with solutions in order to continue leading a life without having to worry about food and clothes.” After saying this, Zhai Sheng left coldly.

Some things needn’t be said too thoroughly. Based on Ding Jiayi’s urgent desire to lead a good life, this motivation was strong enough for her to come up with a solution.

Ding Jiayi, who was severely agitated, didn’t remember to send Zhai Sheng off. There was a buzzing sound in her ears and she couldn’t recover herself after a very long time. Her mind was in a mess and she couldn’t think of anything.

Qiao Zijin wouldn’t give up. After returning to Ping Cheng and sending her daughter back to the Zhou family, she would definitely return to the capital at the fastest speed. Ding Jiayi had known this for a long time. This was definite and didn’t require any guessing.

However, what she didn’t expect was that her eldest daughter would ruthlessly make her stumble on her way to seeking wealth and cause her to fall as well.

Was there a need to compare who was more important between her daughter and herself? Of course she was more important!

However, what method should she use to stop Zijin from creating trouble so that Nan Nan wouldn’t be angry and she wouldn’t be implicated because of this?

After thinking for a long time, Ding Jiayi made a decision at noon that day.

Qiao Nan was a little surprised to receive Ding Jiayi’s call. After listening to Ding Jiayi’s request, Qiao Nan was even more shocked. “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure. Can we do this quickly? I want to move out today.” She couldn’t continue living in this small community. Anyway, she didn’t make any good friends here. It wasn’t a pity if she really moved away. On the contrary, if she continued to live here, Zijin would impose on her if she wanted to create trouble for Qiao Nan.

Who asked Zijin not to have any extra money on her hands? Living in a hotel in the capital was akin to burning money quickly.

Ding Jiayi felt guilty when she thought about how Qiao Zijin had stayed in the house Qiao Nan rented for her to create trouble for Qiao Nan, forcing her to compromise and fulfill her unreasonable demands. This was too unethical.

What was different was that once she moved away from this small community, it wouldn’t be easy for Zijin to find her again. Without a place to stay, it wouldn’t be that easy for Zijin to create trouble for Qiao Nan. The conditions Zijin wanted weren’t a simple transaction determined by a single hit of a hammer.

As long as Zijin lacked a foothold in the capital whereby n.o.body gave her any place to stay or food to eat, Zijin would have to rely on herself for everything and use up the few yuan she had. As long as Qiao Nan didn’t support Zijin financially, Zijin would be penniless and wouldn’t be able to stay in the capital for three days, let alone a month.

Ding Jiayi knew it clearly that the biggest source of Qiao Zijin’s boldness to create trouble for Qiao Nan was her existence.

At this time, for the sake of her life, Ding Jiayi couldn’t afford to stand by the side and watch on silently. Instead, she had to think of ways to prove to Qiao Nan that she was biased toward her and not Qiao Zijin. Qiao Nan must not take back the days where she could enjoy her life. “I also wrote a clarification note. Can you help me publish it?”

Publis.h.i.+ng a clarification note required money. If she handed this to Qiao Nan so that she could do it on her behalf, she would be able to save a sum of money.

“Okay.” Qiao Nan was curious as to what important matter Ding Jiayi had for her to want to publish a note. Thankfully, Qiao Nan was still satisfied with Ding Jiayi’s att.i.tude today. Qiao Nan didn’t reject any request that Ding Jiayi proposed and agreed to all of them. “Half an hour later, one of my men will go over to your house. Remember to give your things to him. He will naturally pa.s.s them over to me. I’ll help you publish this. As for moving house, you just have to pack your own things. Move out today in the same way you moved in back then. Once I find a house, I will inform you immediately.”

“Oh, okay, thank you.” Qiao Nan didn’t let private matters interfere with public duty. Once she spoke with her in a superior tone, Ding Jiayi’s att.i.tude immediately softened. After all, she had become a minister. Her tone of speech now was different from before. In the past, Qiao Nan would only lower her head and talk to her fearfully.

Now, Qiao Nan wasn’t even standing before her. Both of them were separated by the phone and Qiao Nan’s tone wasn’t harsh. However, Ding Jiayi, who had always been fearless in front of Qiao Nan, actually felt an inexplicable sense of guilt overwhelming her. She had no choice but to answer Qiao Nan’s words carefully and didn’t even dare to speak a little louder.

“I’ll wait for your man then. I have nothing else and won’t disturb your work. Goodbye.” After letting her know what she wanted to do, Ding Jiayi didn’t dare to take up any more of Qiao Nan’s time in office. She hung up the call first, and it was rare for her tone to be so polite.
