Qiao Nan was now taking care of Ding Jiayi’s needs. In front of Qiao Nan, it was difficult for Ding Jiayi not to behave herself. Who asked her to be reckless when she was young? She would feel guilty upon seeing Qiao Nan now and couldn’t be self-confident.

After hanging up Ding Jiayi’s call, Qiao Nan raised her eyebrow. Brother Zhai mentioned that he would take care of it. He really did take care of it. The biggest connection between her and Qiao Zijin was that they were born to the same pair of parents. With her father and Ding Jiayi around, she and Qiao Zijin would be sisters. If these two people weren’t around, the so-called sister relations.h.i.+p she had with Qiao Zijin would depend on the situation.

Ding Jiayi’s side was settled. That was to say that her father’s side would have a result soon as well.

As expected, not too long after receiving Ding Jiayi’s call, Qiao Dongliang gave her a call as well. The contents of their conversation were about the same. Both of them wanted to publish a clarification note to remove their parent-daughter relations.h.i.+p. From then on, Qiao Zijin would no longer be a member of their Qiao family.

As an adult, although it wouldn’t be recognized by law that Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi had cut off all ties with Qiao Zijin, it would still have some form of influence in terms of human relations. Moreover, both of them had already fulfilled their duty of support for Qiao Zijin. To them, this clarification note didn’t violate any laws.

How would Qiao Zijin have guessed that things had changed so ma.s.sively when she arrived at the capital again?

The weather in September was terribly hot. The moment she got off the train, Qiao Zijin felt as if she had been scooped up from the water. Thankfully, she was in good health and didn’t feel faint from the heat. Otherwise, under such circ.u.mstances, it was highly possible for her to suffer a heat stroke.

After squeezing the wet towel in her hands and looking at the water being squeezed out, Qiao Zijin’s eyes turned red. All of these were her sweat. After wringing the towel dry, Qiao Zijin continued to wipe her face with it. Qiao Zijin couldn’t remember how many years it had been since she had to rely on a towel to cool down and wipe off the sweat on such a hot day.

However, on the train, it was really the most economical way for her to use a towel to wipe her face. Who asked her not to have any money?

However, that was fine. She would be rich soon. Once she was rich, she would no longer take the train but only the plane. She wouldn’t have to suffer on such hot days anymore. Even if she was taking a car, the car would be air-conditioned.

Qiao Zijin, who was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence, shook her hands and strode forward. She was prepared to find Ding Jiayi first. She couldn’t see Qiao Nan in such a sorry state. She had to take a shower, change her clothes, and do her makeup beautifully first before meeting Qiao Nan.

Qiao Zijin was still quite confident at this point.

When working in the ministry, Qiao Nan had to wear formal clothing more often. The tailor makes the man. Qiao Zijin’s looks couldn’t be compared to Qiao Nan’s. As such, she had to spend more effort dressing up so that Qiao Nan wouldn’t surpa.s.s her.

“On what basis are you not letting me in? My mother lives in this community. A few days ago, I returned to my hometown. I was gone for less than five days and now you don’t recognize me anymore?” Before Qiao Zijin could enter the community Ding Jiayi lived in, she was stopped by the security officer. “The weather is so hot. Get lost quickly. I’m in a hurry to go home.”

If it wasn’t that she had only lived in this community for a few days and wasn’t familiar with the people around here, she would have already quarreled with the security officer, who dared to stand in her way.

“I’m sorry, but you’re not a resident of this community. If you want to enter, you have to register first. Please cooperate with us.” The security officer’s temper was good. He didn’t become fierce toward Qiao Zijin just because she was throwing a tantrum. As long as Qiao Zijin left behind her basic information and fulfilled their work requirements, she could still enter the community.

Qiao Zijin had no choice and rolled her eyes. After registering, she stepped on her high heels and walked in. After Qiao Zijin knocked on the door for a long time, she finally knew from the neighbors that a group of people had helped Ding Jiayi move house that afternoon. Ding Jiayi had already moved out!

As to where Ding Jiayi moved to after leaving this community, they didn’t know as it was none of their business.

“Moved out? Where to? Why did she move out without an apparent reason? Impossible. This is impossible.” How would her mother not let her know in advance that she was moving out? Her mother should know that she would definitely return to the capital in the shortest time possible to negotiate with Qiao Nan. She should also know that she didn’t know anyone else in the capital.

Before Qiao Nan agreed to all her requests, she could only rely on her mother and stay with her here.

Her mother obviously knew about everything. How could she just move out without saying a word to her? Now that she had moved out, what was she going to do next? Where would she stay tonight?

No. It was a definite no!

Upon thinking that she was running out of money, Qiao Zijin became more panicked. She had lived to her thirties, but this was the first time she had encountered such a situation. She was extremely panicked.

She didn’t want to sleep on the bridge. Aside from Ding Jiayi, the only other person she could find now was naturally Qiao Nan, who was about to be extorted by her.

As such, after Qiao Nan got off work and returned to the quad, she saw a pitiful-looking Qiao Zijin at the gate, as if she had been abandoned by the world. The Qiao Zijin now was really in an unprecedented sorry state. The clothes she wore were crumpled. It was obvious that she didn’t manage to change out of the clothes which had dried up from the sweat.

Qiao Zijin loved to look pretty. Not only did she like to grow her hair long, but she even liked to curl and dye it. At this moment, Qiao Zijin’s hair looked greasy and clumpy.

Upon seeing such a Qiao Zijin, Qiao Nan thought of her previous life where she had to run around under the sun in summer to raise medical expenses to treat her uremia. An hour before her death, she should look sorrier than how Qiao Zijin was now.

Qiao Nan shook her head. She honked the horn to get Qiao Zijin’s attention.

Qiao Zijin looked up and recognized Qiao Nan’s car at once. She immediately turned from a pitiful stray dog that was abandoned by the roadside to a wolf dog with rabies. She bared her teeth and pounced toward Qiao Nan, letting out a ‘bang’.

Qiao Nan twitched her lips. Her car was made of steel. Was Qiao Zijin trying to compete with her car to see who was tougher?

Qiao Zijin was too impulsive to have made that pounce and couldn’t hold back that moment of foolishness.
