Chapter 1666: Car Accident
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was time for Qiao Nan to suffer a little and know what hards.h.i.+p was!
She was going to be the one to end Qiao Nan’s happiness!
“What if the Zhai family finds out about your ident.i.ty? Don’t forget that marriage isn’t easy. If you really get to that stage with Zhai Xin, they would definitely find out about your background before you get married. Furthermore, if you get married to Zhai Xin, aren’t you afraid…” Based on the relations.h.i.+p between the two, it was obviously impossible for them to get married.
“What’s there to be afraid of?” Zhou Xing was fearless. “Let them investigate then. Anyway, they wouldn’t be able to detect any issues from my ID card and family register. Grandma, as long as you don’t tell anyone and betray me, my plan will definitely succeed. Grandma, you won’t do that, right?” No one from the Zhou family knew what she was doing. Grandma was the only one who knew.
Zhou Xing was confident that if her grandmother didn’t betray her, she would definitely be able to smile while watching Qiao Nan cry in a few years’ time!
The other party felt a headache. “I’ve already said that it’s not as simple as you think. Qiao Nan is extremely blessed. Let’s not talk about whether Zhai Xin could do as what you’ve described, helping his wife, and not his mother. Zhai Sheng would be the first not to tolerate his son being disrespectful to Qiao Nan and making her angry. Based on how much Zhai Sheng values Qiao Nan, if Zhai Xin dares to make Qiao Nan angry, he would dare to kick Zhai Xin out of the Zhai family. Once he loses his ident.i.ty as someone from the Zhai family, Zhai Xin would be of no value to you. Lastly, never belittle the men from the Zhai family. Zhai Sheng dotes on Qiao Nan a lot. I feel that Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin are the same. Perhaps the image you have imagined would never appear.”
If Zhai Xin’s heart was always biased toward Qiao Nan, his birth mother, no matter how hard Xingxing tried, they would all be in vain.
When the time comes, Zhai Xin could break up with Xingxing in the blink of an eye if she disrespected Qiao Nan. At this time, she herself wasn’t sure how her granddaughter thought of Zhai Xin.
At the mention of Zhai Xin, she could tell that her granddaughter’s tone carried traces of happiness. However, at the mention of Zhai Yi, her granddaughter seemed conflicted and reluctant to part from him. She felt really troubled. “Xingxing, I’ve told you before. Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin could be considered as your brothers. Xingxing, stop this nonsense, alright?”
It wasn’t for anything else, but if the Zhai family really found out about what her granddaughter had done and wanted to deal with her out of rage, she couldn’t stop them at all. One had to know that all the grudges were from the previous generation. If Xingxing took the initiative to acknowledge Qiao Nan, she might even take care of her and help her fulfill her dream of being a celebrity.
The problem was that if Xingxing insisted on taking revenge on Qiao Nan, her relations.h.i.+p with the Zhai family could be as bad as her mother’s relations.h.i.+p with them when she was still alive. “If we make our ident.i.ties known now, Xingxing, you might be able to become a celebrity and sing and act now. It isn’t your ultimate goal to be a military performer. You have already met both of Qiao Nan’s sons. Let’s take a better path for you, alright?”
“No!” Zhou Xing rejected without thinking. “It’s Qiao Nan, this wretched woman, who had caused me to lose my mother since I was young. You know how bad and ruthless that woman from the Zhou family was. I nearly lost my father as well. However, there’s no difference whether I have a father or not now. He only has that woman in his eyes and the son whom she had given birth to in his heart. He even treats the child that that woman had from her preceding marriage as his precious. Out of the three children in the family, it’s as if I was adopted. My parents don’t love me. If my birth mother was still alive, do I have to be bullied so pitifully by that woman in my house?”
She wasn’t willing to take this lying down!
When she was young, she had led such a tough life. Her mother didn’t take care of her and she couldn’t even get to see her father. This was all thanks to that woman named Qiao Nan. Since Qiao Nan dared to harm her, why couldn’t she take revenge?
Qiao Nan made her a child without her mother’s love and protection. She wouldn’t let Qiao Nan lead a good life. Qiao Nan and her three children had been leading a happy life until now. She would wait for the day when Zhai Xin no longer had Qiao Nan in his heart and always sang a different tune to her, angering her to her death. At that time, she wanted to see how Qiao Nan could smile happily when she was crying.
“Xingxing, not all men are like your father. Your grandparents have treated you really well and left everything at home to you. If you rely on the things they left for you, you can lead a good life in this lifetime.” Her grandmother felt heartache for Zhou Xing’s unfortunate encounters when she was young.
She always thought that even though her elder daughter was gone, she was still around. More importantly, aside from Zhou Xing’s father, who was a fool to be fascinated by that vixen, Zhou Xing’s grandparents doted on Zhou Xing the most. In their hearts, even the grandson who was born later couldn’t compare to her.
It was a pity that her granddaughter’s life was similar to her daughter’s. Both of them didn’t lead a good life. Her granddaughter didn’t have a mother to dote on her and a father to protect her. She only had her grandparents and her by her side. Who would have expected Father Zhou and Mother Zhou to get into a car accident on their way back from a trip three years ago? They died on the spot before the ambulance could arrive.
After Father Zhou and Mother Zhou pa.s.sed away, both of them left behind a huge inheritance. Zhou Xing’s father thought that since he was an only child, his parents’ inheritance would undoubtedly be inherited by him alone.
At that time, Zhou Xing felt extremely desperate. Her father didn’t like her, let alone treated her well. She was already thirteen years old, but during the years after her mother pa.s.sed away, she had never lived with her father for more than a week. If not for her grandparents protecting her, she might not even get a chance to study in school, let alone have a house to live in or pretty clothes to wear. It would be as if her parents were gone.
With a stepmother, she would also have a stepfather.
If all of the money landed in her father’s hand, she didn’t need to think about spending a single cent in the future. It wouldn’t be like when her grandparents were still alive, where the amount they spent on her alone was twice the amount spent on her stepmother and the two children.
Zhou Xing was afraid that the huge inheritance her grandparents left behind would have nothing to do with her and she would have to lead a bitter life from then on. Unexpectedly, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou actually left behind a will when they were alive.
The will stated that the house their son was currently living in now would belong to him. Apart from that, all the a.s.sets under their names would belong to their granddaughter, Zhou Xing.
