This kind of person did not lack any money. They would definitely not keep the blankets and bowls used by others before.

Since everyone was friends, it was not good to be wasteful. When that time came, she would definitely bring back everything and not let them go to waste.

“…” After knowing Ding Jiayi’s thoughts, the more Qiao Zijin understood Qiao Nan’s feelings during normal times. However, Qiao Nan deserved all the unfair treatment, but she did not.

Without a word, Qiao Zijin went to Ding Jiayi’s bedroom and carried the blanket and mattress covers out. She threw them to Ding Jiayi. “Fold and pack them.”

“…” Her plan had been foiled. Ding Jiayi was not pleased. “Zijin, that’s your friend, not your husband. Why are you trying to help them save so much money? You don’t know how to enjoy life. Will used blankets be better than new ones? Even if your friend may really become your husband in the future, you should also remember that you must not save money for a man. Spend whichever way you like. Don’t indulge a man. I’m the best example, having indulged your dad. If you don’t spend a man’s money, you’re shortchanging yourself.”

“We can talk about all these in the future. That’s just a friend and can only help me once. Mom, if you do this again, I’m going to flare up.” Qiao Zijin was having a bad headache. Her mother was of no help at all after so many things happened. Instead, she was adding on to her woes.

It was no wonder that Qiao Nan and her father happily moved away one year ago. Being further away from her mother was really less trouble.

“I’ve already prepared mine. What about you?” Ding Jiayi had no choice. Her elder daughter’s words were orders. How could she not abide?

“Your friend can’t possibly have prepared only your share, right?” And nothing for her? If that was the case, could they still deny that they were wooing Zijin?

Qiao Zijin was so annoyed. Her mother would not change no matter what she said. “Tomorrow, my friend will be bringing me to school to settle the administrative matters for leaving school. I will definitely take away my belongings in school. I bought a blanket at school when I started studying there. Of course, I have to bring those things away since I’m not studying there anymore.”

It was not that she did not need to bring her stuff. There was already one set in the school. It was thus not necessary to prepare another.

“Oh…” Ding Jiayi responded abidingly. This time, she really dared not say anything more.

Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi were also afraid of onlookers in the quad questioning them when they saw them moving house. It was not convenient for them to answer. Hence, as agreed, both mother and daughter woke up early the next day. Qiao Zijin waited at the entrance of the quad early in the morning.

When she saw a minivan that was quite new coming, her sixth sense told her that this was the one. “Qiao Zijin?” the chauffeur asked.

“Yes, my house is inside. There are quite a lot of things. You may have to wait a while.” Qiao Zijin dared to flare up in front of Ding Jiayi but dared not try anything in front of this person.

“Sure, hurry up.” The chauffeur’s att.i.tude was indifferent. After giving a reply, he would rather stare at the streets and daze. He was not willing to say another word to Qiao Zijin.

Qiao Zijin ground her teeth, lowered her head, and abidingly left. She then helped Ding Jiayi s.h.i.+ft their belongings and moved all of them out at the fastest speed. “We can leave now.”

“Alright, let’s go. The administrative matters at The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China have almost been settled. You just need to provide your signature when you’re there. As for your belongings at school, your teachers have helped you pack them. Of course, if you’re concerned, you can run through the items when you arrive later to check if there is anything missing.”

The chauffeur told Qiao Zijin the situation as he drove.

Qiao Zijin acknowledged softly with an ‘okay’. She could not help getting angry as she clenched her hands on her knees into fists.

Her school was really realistic. They could not wait to sweep her out of the door and had even packed her things. Were they afraid that she would dawdle in school?

It was just a senior high school. She did not believe that students from other schools would not be successful in this world. After leaving The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China, she could also advance in life. She would enter a good college and find a good job.

Ding Jiayi patted Qiao Zijin’s hands and comforted her.

That day, Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi left Ping Cheng quietly and went to another town called Ling Cheng to live in.

“What? My wife moved out with Zijin? Are you sure?” After two nights, Qiao Dongliang finally regained his energy and senses. He received a phone call from a neighbor in his quad, telling him that Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin brought their belongings and left in a car early in the morning. They also locked the entrance of the small courtyard from the outside. It was obvious that they would definitely not come back within a short period.

The neighbor sensed that something was amiss and gave Qiao Dongliang a call just in case. “Oh, okay. I know. Thank you.”

After hanging up the neighbor’s call, Qiao Dongliang quickly searched for the phone number of The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China and rang them. “h.e.l.lo, good day. I’m Qiao Zijin’s father. Today, did my daughter… What? My daughter has left the school? Why did she leave? I’m awfully sorry to have disturbed you. Goodbye.”

Qiao Dongliang hung up the phone call, his heart thumping nonstop.

Zijin was expelled from the school due to cheating.

Zijin was not able to continue with her studies anymore. Then… Then, where did Ding Jiayi bring Zijin to? Where could they go?

Qiao Dongliang, who was as anxious as a headless fly, was spinning around.

“Right, call Nan Nan!” At this juncture, Qiao Dongliang only had one next-of-kin, Qiao Nan, to discuss this with.

After Qiao Nan finished her second lesson, she was called to the office by the form teacher who received Qiao Dongliang’s call. “h.e.l.lo, Dad, you called me at this hour. What happened?” When she was having lessons, her father would typically not call her.

“The neighbor said that your mom left with your sister early this morning. They even brought a lot of luggage with them. Nan Nan, tell me, where can your mom and sister possibly go? I just called The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China. The teacher said that your sister has been expelled.”

“Are you certain?”

“Certain!”

“Dad, don’t be like this. You go back to the small courtyard first to see the situation. If the door is locked, get a locksmith. I’ll call others to find out more. I’ll let you know if there’s an outcome.”

“Fine, let’s do that.” Qiao Dongliang, who now had some directions on what to do, sounded calmer. He hung up and rode his bicycle to the small courtyard of the Qiao family’s house at his fastest speed.

Seeing the main entrance tightly shut and the small courtyard without any human presence, tears welled up in Qiao Dongliang’s eyes. He listened to Qiao Nan’s suggestion and found a locksmith to open the door.

“Teacher Liu, can you allow me to make a phone call?”
