Chapter 2267: Fulfilling Her Wish

Qiao Dongliang knew that he would never be able to rein in Ding Jiayi because of Qiao Zijin. Since that was the case, it was better for them not to live together and hurt each other. In the future, Ding Jiayi had better live with Qiao Zijin. He didn’t mind living alone. In Ping Cheng, he still had his old neighbors and old colleagues. Without Ding Jiayi, he would be able to continue with his life all the same.

After coming to that conclusion, not only did Qiao Dongliang change all the locks at home, but he even changed them to high-quality ones.

What Qiao Dongliang was grateful about was that he had already given Qiao Nan the property deed to this courtyard a long time ago. Once Ding Jiayi returned from the capital, they would get a divorce. Ding Jiayi had better not even dream of taking a step into the courtyard.

Ding Jiayi had been rather nervous sitting on the plane, and she had needed to ask around before managing to arrive at the correct gate. Looking at the crowds in the airport, Ding Jiayi was resentful and angry about having such an unfilial and heartless daughter like Qiao Nan.

She wasn’t highly educated and recognized only a few simple characters. Besides, this was her first time taking a plane. At her age, it was only right for someone to be taking care of her. But Qiao Nan had left her in the lurch! If anything were to happen to her, it would be entirely Qiao Nan’s fault! Was Qiao Nan not afraid that she would become a child without a mom? Was she hoping that her mom would get into an accident?

How much evil had she committed in her past life that she had gotten her retribution in the form of a daughter like Qiao Nan?

Ding Jiayi, who went on cursing Qiao Nan in her heart, had never paused to think about why she always seemed like an unbeatable giant in front of Qiao Zijin who was always willing to bear the brunt for her. Why then was she so delicate in front of Qiao Nan, thinking that Qiao Nan had to arrange everything for her?

She treated Qiao Zijin as her daughter. But every time she thought about Qiao Nan, she felt that it was Qiao Nan’s duty to take care of her. It was as though their roles of mother and daughter were reversed.

Who was the true debtor in this lifetime? Everyone else apart from Ding Jiayi could understand the situation clearly. Just like how Qiao Nan had once lamented to Qiao Dongliang, perhaps, she had owed Ding Jiayi too much in her previous lifetime that she had to repay her to such an extent now. All she asked for was to have nothing to do with Ding Jiayi after she repaid her debts.

With an aggrieved mentality, Ding Jiayi held it in for almost two hours in the air. Her eyes were bloodshot by the time she landed. Everyone reacted differently to plane rides. There were those who got nauseous. As such, no one thought that it was strange for Ding Jiayi to behave in this manner. Besides, there were those who slept throughout entire plane rides. Perhaps, her eyes were red because she had just woken up.

Ding Jiayi couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed when she saw such a huge airport after alighting from the plane. She didn’t even know where to go next. She was in a frenzy. She didn’t even know if she would be able to navigate around the airport, much less the capital.

That wretched girl was probably hoping that she would get lost in this place. That way, she wouldn’t need to worry about her mom in the future! Fat chance! She would never let that happen. Not only would she survive, but she would even live her life well and live a long life! Qiao Nan had better not dream of getting rid of her!

Huffing, Ding Jiayi gained some strength and decided to make a call directly to Qiao Nan. “h.e.l.lo, it’s your mom!”

“Whose mom?” Miao Jing answered with a cold tone. How could Ding Jiayi be so confident in yelling that right away? She had the urge to retort her.

“…” Hearing that it wasn’t Qiao Nan on the line, Ding Jiayi cooled down. “Excuse me, you are…” It didn’t sound like that auntie that Qiao Nan had hired.

Miao Jing pursed her lips. “I’m Nan Nan’s mother-in-law.”

“Oh, it’s you.” It was the old chief’s wife, her in-law. Even though they were communicating over the phone and they couldn’t see each other, Ding Jiayi reflexively let out a smile and her tone was incredibly courteous. “In-law, I’m looking for my daughter. Could you get her to the phone, please?”

“What kind of mother are you? Don’t you know that Nan Nan has lessons in school today? Do you think that the Zhai family’s matters are less important than the Qiao family’s? How bold of you!” Only a fool like Ding Jiayi would be able to stop Nan Nan from attending school just to let that stupid Qiao Zijin go in her place.

When it came to her most beloved daughter, Ding Jiayi’s temper had never been good. “What? She went to school? What a joke! She didn’t even graduate from high school. Why doesn’t she just live a simple life? What’s the point of going to school? She knows that I’m coming and that her sister’s dying, and she doesn’t even wait in front of the phone! How dare she!”

If Qiao Nan was in front of her, she would have given Qiao Nan a good beating. She had to let Qiao Nan learn how to prioritize matters!

“Why not?” Miao Jing was infuriated. “Nan Nan’s the daughter-in-law of the Zhai family now, not the daughter of the Qiao family. Do you really think you’re the empress? You always lose your temper in front of Nan Nan but serve Zijin like she’s your master. Our Zhai family doesn’t welcome you. Take a look at yourself. It seems like you don’t need our help now that you’re in the capital. Alright, I’ll tell Nan Nan about this so that she won’t have to worry about it. I’m hanging up.”

Miao Jing was terribly reluctant to help Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin. A good kid like Nan Nan had been dragged down by both of them. Even after hurting Nan Nan so badly, they still dared to treat Nan Nan with that arrogant att.i.tude. How shameless!

Was that an att.i.tude Ding Jiayi should have if she was asking for help? How ridiculous!

After hanging up Ding Jiayi’s call, Miao Jing was still infuriated. As such, Miao Jing made a call to the person who had been sent to pick Ding Jiayi up. “She’s already in the airport but you don’t have to pick her up. Just give her Qiao Zijin’s address. You can come back home.”

Didn’t she love Qiao Zijin very much? And didn’t Ding Jiayi only have one daughter, Qiao Zijin? Since she only had one daughter, Ding Jiayi had better not dream of enjoying the benefits of having Nan Nan as a daughter. Miao Jing would fulfill this wish of Ding Jiayi.
