Chapter 1976: Something Happened to Jiajia
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This time, Qiao Nan was moving into the Zhai family’s old villa as half the owner. She felt different. However, Qiao Nan’s room was unchanged. After all, they weren’t married yet. There wasn’t a need for them to stay in the same room before getting married. Thankfully, when Qiao Nan was living in the Zhai family’s old villa before, her room was just next to Zhai Sheng’s. Now that Qiao Nan was moving in, of course her room would remain the same.
On the way back, Xiao Xu gave Sister Zhao a call and asked her to clean up the room Qiao Nan previously lived in. Sister Zhao said that she had always been cleaning Qiao Nan’s room. Even her quilt was exposed to the sun in the day. She guaranteed that there would be no problem.
Upon hearing Sister Zhao say this, Xiao Xu became completely relieved.
Sister Zhao diligently brought water and fruits into Qiao Nan’s room. From the corners of her eyes, she saw Zhai Sheng standing next to Qiao Nan all the time like her protector. Sister Zhao understood it more in her heart now. “Sister Qiao, if there’s anything missing, remember to let me know.”
Even though Sister Qiao might be more familiar with this house than her, her ident.i.ty was different now. When Sister Qiao returned this time, she was going to be the mistress of the house and her master.
“I’ve taken a look. Everything’s complete. Thanks for your hard work, Xiao Zhao.” Qiao Nan shook her head. She could tell that someone had been cleaning up her room all this while. Even before sitting on the bed, she could faintly feel the warmth and dryness of the room from the sun.
“Alright, I’ll get going first.” Sister Zhao didn’t forget her ident.i.ty. After doing what she was supposed to do, how would she dare to continue staying and prevent her owners from dating?
Zhai Sheng pulled Qiao Nan and sat down. “You can tell me now, right? Aside from Qi Minlan, did you run into anything else?”
Qiao Nan sighed. She initially didn’t want to say this. However, Qiao Nan felt that she should say this now. “Sister Zhai Hua called me. The Qiao family already knows that I had been living in Qingshui Town. The landlady later told me that there was a mother-daughter pair from Ping Cheng who came to find me yesterday. Brother Zhai, you should understand, and you should be able to tell that the Qiao family isn’t planning to just let me off like that. There’re four people in the Qiao family. However, the only one who’s capable of earning money is me. They are still expecting to count on me to provide a living for them. They want me to work hard so that they can lead a good life.”
Qiao Nan understood this very clearly.
She hadn’t outlived her usefulness yet. If she still had something of value, how would Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin be willing to let her off?
Zhai Sheng narrowed his eyes. “So it’s regarding this. Before deciding to be together with you, I’ve long known about your family situation. I still want to marry you regardless. This means that I’ve long considered it carefully. From a legal or human perspective, children have the obligation and responsibility to support their parents. However, there’s no reason to provide for them together with your sister. Even if you are providing for your parents, they can’t demand everything. Rest a.s.sured. No matter how unreasonable the Qiao family is or how much they kick up a fuss, it doesn’t mean that everyone is obliged to indulge them.”
More importantly, he and the Zhai family would provide support to Nan Nan. They wouldn’t let her be controlled without limits by the Qiao family anymore. Yes, Zhai Sheng wasn’t willing to use the term ‘family’ to describe the Qiao family.
At this time, both Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan thought that the main reason why Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin came all the way to Qingshui Town to find Qiao Nan was the money in her pockets. When they found out that Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin even planned for Qiao Nan to marry Chen Jun, be Chen Feng’s stepmother, help Qiao Zijin keep an eye on the Chen family’s inheritance so that it could be handed to Chen Feng completely in the future, and do all the hard work for Qiao Zijin so that when everything in the Chen family became Chen Feng’s in the future, she could return the position to Qiao Zijin, both of them knew that not only was the Qiao family’s mindset absurd, but also very scary.
Qi Minlan and Qiu Chenxi couldn’t think as much as Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin.
Zhai Yaohui initially planned for Zhai Sheng to bring Qiao Nan back to Ping Cheng so that the Zhai family could hold a wedding banquet for the couple. However, an unexpected incident disrupted Zhai Yaohui’s original plan such that Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan had to return to Ping Cheng in a rush ahead of schedule.
When Qiao Nan met the Zhai family again, it was in a hospital. Seeing that the Zhai family didn’t look good, Qiao Nan stepped forward and walked next to Zhai Hua. “Sister Zhai Hua, why did Jiajia get into a car accident out of the blue?”
Hatred flashed in Zhai Hua’s eyes. “It’s all Wei De’s fault. It’s fine that he doesn’t cherish a daughter after having a son. But he even wanted to kill Jiajia!” If not for Wei De finding Jiajia at school and pestering her on the main road, how could Jiajia have been knocked down by a car?
What made Zhai Hua infuriated was that everything was just an accident. Wei De didn’t do this on purpose, and he was Jiajia’s father. Even if this matter was investigated, Wei De didn’t need to bear any legal responsibility. Upon thinking that her daughter was still in the operating theatre receiving treatment but nothing was happening to the culprit, Wei De, who caused all of this, Zhai Hua wished she had a gun beside her so that she could rush over and kill Wei De.
If the law couldn’t punish Wei De, then she would do it!
Seeing the hatred in Zhai Hua’s bloodshot eyes, Qiao Nan could only continue to comfort Zhai Hua. “Sister Zhai Hua, don’t be too worried. Jiajia is a good child. Nothing will happen to her.”
Didn’t the call say that although Jiajia ran into a car accident, her condition wasn’t too serious? The other party was driving carefully and not at a fast speed. Moreover, after Jiajia was knocked down, the car owner immediately sent Jiajia to the hospital and also contacted Jiajia’s family.
Jiajia wasn’t the Qiao Zijin in her dreams. As such, Qiao Nan believed that nothing bad would happen to an obedient child like Jiajia.
Indeed, within half an hour after Qiao Nan’s words, Jiajia’s operation was over. “Don’t worry. The patient’s operation was very successful. Thankfully, that car wasn’t speeding and the patient’s injury was quite minor. Except for a slight fracture in some places, no internal organs were injured. The patient is young and has a fast metabolism. I believe her recovery speed wouldn’t be too slow.”
“Thank you, doctor.” Upon hearing that his granddaughter was fine, Zhai Yaohui hugged the frightened Miao Jing and thanked the doctor.
The doctor knew Zhai Yaohui’s ident.i.ty. How would he dare to accept the old chief’s word of thanks? However, being thanked by the old chief undeniably made the doctor feel very proud.
