Chapter 1609: Dead

Seeing Qiao Dongliang’s eyes turn red and him panting, Zhai Sheng understood immediately why Qiao Dongliang would ask Ding Jiayi to get lost.

That was because Qiao Dongliang was afraid that if he looked at Ding Jiayi any longer, he would really lose control and kill Ding Jiayi to take revenge for Qiao Zijin and himself.

“What are you doing? This is a hospital…” The medical personnel was stunned. The couple had lost their daughter. Why was it that the husband was still hitting his wife and taking it out on her as if she was the one who had caused their daughter her death?

“Ding Jiayi, get lost!”

When Qiao Dongliang shouted Ding Jiayi’s name, the nurse who had helped convey Qiao Zijin’s last words on behalf of her looked shocked. “The Ding Jiayi whom the daughter shouted before her death not to let her attend her funeral was her birth mother?”

“…”

The people who came over to watch the fun became speechless when they heard the nurse’s words. Before the daughter died, the last person she wanted to see was her birth mother. Everyone understood why the birth father would hit his wife after their daughter’s death. There was a very high chance that this woman lost her life at such a young age due to this mother. Who would not feel hatred having to send one’s own child off?

“No, it’s not like this!” Ding Jiayi, who had lost two teeth after being beaten, refuted after spitting out a mouthful of blood. “It’s not because Zijin hated me that she didn’t want to see me. She knew that the person I loved most in this lifetime was her. She’s worried that I would be too upset if I see her corpse. Zijin said this so that I wouldn’t be sad! Silly child. No matter whether I can see you or not, I would feel such great heartache that I couldn’t wait to leave together with you if you’re gone.”

Yes. This was the case.

When she saw Zijin’s lifeless face, she couldn’t wait to leave together with her. Zijin understood that she had the loving heart of a mother. Zijin only told the nurse because she didn’t want her to feel too upset. In this world, only Zijin knew her the best.

“…”

Everyone else looked at one another. It was the same result, but different reasons. One reason was that she hated her mother too much. The other reason seemed to be that she loved her mother too much. Thus, was it hatred or love?

A number of people looked at the nurse, wanting to get a response from her. The nurse smiled and didn’t reveal the patient’s privacy. As to whether it was love or hatred, the nurse dared to say with certainty that before this woman died, she heard her gritting her teeth at the mention of Ding Jiayi’s name.

Love? Would one grit their teeth because of love?

Hatred. One would only grit their teeth because of hatred!

“Zijin, how would I lead my life in the future after you have abandoned me? Zijin, take me away with you. Otherwise, your father would misunderstand your words, think that I was the one who caused you your death, and couldn’t wait for me to die. Zijin, why didn’t you say your words clearly, causing your mother to be misunderstood by your father?” She loved Zijin so much and had given her most of her feelings in this lifetime. Zijin wouldn’t hate her. The person Zijin loved most in this lifetime was her, the mother!

Qiao Dongliang couldn’t tolerate it any longer and pushed Ding Jiayi away. “If you don’t want to die, get lost now. Zijin said that she didn’t want to see you again. Don’t come to the funeral I’ll be planning for Zijin. Even if you come over, I’ll not let you kowtow to Zijin.”

He was so foolish this lifetime. He didn’t take care of his younger daughter well, and neither did he take care of his elder daughter well. Zijin only had this one small wish before she died. No matter what, he couldn’t let Ding Jiayi bother Zijin again.

After pus.h.i.+ng Ding Jiayi away, Qiao Dongliang retrieved Qiao Zijin’s body alone and left. He was certain that Qiao Nan’s forgiveness of Qiao Zijin was limited. Qiao Zijin sought death by choosing to collide with Qiao Nan’s car out of so many other cars. Qiao Dongliang couldn’t go against his conscience and say that Qiao Zijin didn’t do this deliberately to pick on Qiao Nan.

As such, no matter if it was to take care of Qiao Nan’s emotions or to preserve what was left of Qiao Zijin’s dignity, Qiao Dongliang didn’t ask Qiao Nan to manage Qiao Zijin’s funeral. Qiao Zijin had parents. Naturally, they would be the hosts of the funeral instead of her sister, Qiao Nan, who was already married.

“It’s not early anymore. Let’s head back.” Zhai Sheng hugged Qiao Nan and let her place most of her weight on him. The soles of Qiao Nan’s shoes didn’t touch the ground much. She was practically being carried away by Zhai Sheng.

In a confused state, Qiao Nan asked in disbelief after sitting on the pa.s.senger seat, “Qiao Zijin is gone just like that?” Did their family have a grudge against cars? All four of them had been in car accidents and sent to the hospital. She and Qiao Zijin had even died in the hospital because of this relations.h.i.+p.

Upon thinking that the one who had pa.s.sed away in the previous lifetime was her and Qiao Zijin was the one who had pa.s.sed away now, Qiao Nan didn’t know why, but she felt uncomfortable in her heart. She had always thought that Qiao Zijin would marry Zhou Zheng in this lifetime instead of Chen Jun. However, she still betrayed Zhou Zheng to be together with Chen Jun, thus ending up in a divorce.

Then, a few years later, Qiao Zijin should have realized that she had uremia and needed a change of kidney, just like in her previous lifetime. Some trajectories should have been the same and not changed. In her previous lifetime, she refused to donate her kidney. It was definitely not possible in this lifetime as well. When the time came, she would take out money to send Qiao Zijin off. At this time, it was considered a blessing to have used money to send Qiao Zijin off.

Unexpectedly, before Qiao Zijin reached the age of getting uremia, she had first rushed out and collided with her car. This collision had caused her to lose her life.

Wasn’t this world too incredible?

Knowing that Qiao Nan was feeling uneasy, Zhai Sheng held her hand. With a touch of his fingertips, Zhai Sheng felt that Qiao Nan’s hands were cold and didn’t have any temperature at all. She was no better than a dead person. “Frightened? You should have understood matters of birth, death, illness, and old age when Old Master Zhai and Elder Lin were gone.” At the very most, Qiao Zijin’s death was more abrupt.

Qiao Nan shook her head, feeling complicated. This wasn’t the real knot in her heart. It was a pity that Qiao Nan couldn’t say out loud these concerns for Zhai Sheng to understand.

That night, Zhai Sheng slept while wrapping around Qiao Nan tightly as he realized that after Qiao Zijin’s death, Qiao Nan was cold all over. If he didn’t wrap around Qiao Nan to warm her up, Zhai Sheng was worried that he would really have to bring Qiao Nan to the hospital for an examination.

He had never seen Qiao Nan like this, not even when they had to send Old Master Zhai and Elder Lin off back then. Qiao Nan didn’t have a close relations.h.i.+p with Qiao Zijin. Zhai Sheng didn’t feel that Qiao Nan’s reaction was because of the agitation suffered from Qiao Zijin’s death.
