Chapter 2166: Concern
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qiao Nan already knew that Chen Jun had made a shady deal with w.a.n.g Yang, but there was still something that Qiao Nan didn’t know. It was that Chen Jun had thought of betraying w.a.n.g Yang to spend the rest of his life with her.
If w.a.n.g Yang inherited all of the Zhu family’s a.s.sets, the Zhu family’s power and authority would never be Chen Jun’s no matter how much w.a.n.g Yang helped him. w.a.n.g Yang would still be in the equation. In fact, it would all depend on how much w.a.n.g Yang was willing to help him.
On the other hand, if Qiao Nan had indeed become Zhu Chengqi’s G.o.ddaughter and received all of the Zhu family’s a.s.sets, all of that would become his once he married Qiao Nan. Then, he wouldn’t even need to rely on anyone else. It would be easier for him to climb up that way. Perhaps, he could even reach the very top.
w.a.n.g Yang was no fool and knew that Chen Jun was rather scheming as well. Chen Jun had not approached Qiao Nan with pure intentions in the first place. As such, before Chen Jun had done anything concrete, w.a.n.g Yang had warned Chen Jun that he would expose his deeds to Qiao Nan if he dared to do anything funny.
If that happened, there was no way Qiao Nan would continue being in a relations.h.i.+p with Chen Jun, and there was no longer a point in helping Chen Jun either. Not only would he stop helping Chen Jun, but he would also take back all those advantages the Chen family had already enjoyed. Chen Jun was intelligent and he did not wish for such a situation to occur. Hence, he had no choice but to buckle down and live his life honestly. Sometimes, that was an intelligent choice.
Very quickly, Chen Jun got rid of all those memories. Even though he had already gotten divorced from Qiao Zijin, no one could know about the deal he had cut out with w.a.n.g Yang, especially not Qiao Nan. If Qiao Nan were to find out about it, there was no way he would stand to gain from Zhai Sheng anymore.
As long as he managed to pull some strings with the Zhai family, he would never have to worry about his career development in the future with the help from both the Zhai family and w.a.n.g Yang.
“When… when is she due?” In the blink of an eye, not only had he gotten remarried, but Qiao Nan had even gotten pregnant after getting married.
“She’s eight months pregnant with triplets, so it’ll probably be a premature birth. She is currently in the hospital.” Qiao Zijin had no qualms about sharing this piece of ‘good news’ with Chen Jun. “I don’t know if I’ve told you but my grandpa was a triplet too. I heard that it’s genetics. Don’t you think that Qiao Nan is really lucky?”
What good fortune! Indeed, three children could be good fortune to the Zhai family, but it was not necessarily so for Qiao Nan as a mom. Because of the existence of these three children, Qiao Nan’s life was on the line.
“Qiao Nan is turning forty this year, right? And she’s pregnant with three? Is it dangerous? What did the doctor say? How could Zhai Sheng allow her to do that? Does he only care about the children and not the mother?” Chen Jun was anxious. Even he himself was unsure of whether he was simply concerned about Qiao Nan, or whether he was worried that he would never be able to take advantage of the Zhai family if Qiao Nan were to pa.s.s away. Perhaps, it was a mix of these two feelings.
Qiao Zijin gritted her teeth. “She’s fine. She’s Zhai Sheng’s wife, not yours.. You seemed rather concerned about her.”
