Chapter 2410: Good Fortune (3)
The old Father Chen understood that if he knew Qiao Nan was good, the rest wouldn’t be blind and not know that she was good as well.
He could see Qiao Nan’s merits. Even if there weren’t a lot, sooner or later, other old people like him would be able to see her merits as well.
To Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi, she was an old virgin who couldn’t get married. In Father Chen’s heart, she had a good image. The score he gave Qiao Nan wasn’t low.
Qiao Nan was good, but their Chen family was not lucky enough.
After that, Chen Jun went to find Qiao Nan, but she personally rejected him. Within a year, Qiao Nan even got married to Zhai Sheng. Father Chen no longer had any ideas about Qiao Nan.
However, the current situation made Father Chen extremely worried and he couldn’t help but think that if both Qiao Zijin and Chen Jun had problems at the same time, Qiao Nan, as Chen Feng’s biological aunt, was their only last hope for help.
What?
Let Qiao Dongliang or Ding Jiayi raise Chen Feng up?
Father Chen and Mother Chen immediately dispelled this thought when they thought of the living example of Qiao Zijin.
Rather than let their grandson grow up under the hands of Ding Jiayi and become like Qiao Zijin who was unreasonable and brainless, they’d rather their grandson support himself without anyone taking care of him and grow up slowly and suffer more during this process.
One had to know that if their grandson relied on his own efforts to survive and grow, it would be worthwhile even though it was going to be tougher on him.
On the contrary, if their grandson grew up with Ding Jiayi, an unusual grandma, they were afraid that the formidable Ding Jiayi would teach him to become the second Qiao Zijin and destroy the only descendant of their Chen family.
They would definitely not allow such a thing to happen.
They had been divorced for several years now. After leaving the Qiao family and moving out of the Chen family, Qiao Zijin had not lived the past few years for nothing.
Even if Father Chen and Mother Chen didn’t say anything and were just looking at her with concern, Qiao Zijin could tell from the body language of her ex-parents-in-law what their thoughts and considerations were.
“I know Feng Feng likes Qiao Nan since young and she has raised him up well. However, you also know that not only is Qiao Nan married now, but she even gave birth to triplets for Zhai Sheng. She has two sons and a daughter…”
Speaking of this situation, Qiao Zijin paused for a while and deliberately sized up her ex-parents-in-law.
Indeed, when they heard that Qiao Nan gave birth to triplets and there were even two boys and a girl, the envy and regret in their eyes nearly angered Qiao Zijin until she wanted to fall out with them and leave.
Did they really think that she was so bad and wasn’t worthy to be Feng Feng’s mother? Did they also think that Qiao Nan was the best? If that was the case, why did the Chen family approach her first and not call Qiao Nan when they knew Chen Jun was in trouble and couldn’t be saved?
Was she the second-best choice because her ex-parents-in-law couldn’t find Qiao Nan?
Upon thinking about this possibility, Qiao Zijin was so angry that she wanted to leave immediately.
However, there was no choice. She appeared at this place now not as the ident.i.ty of someone’s daughter or someone’s sister. She was Chen Feng’s biological mother. She was the most qualified person in this world to take care of Chen Feng after something happened to Chen Jun.
Qiao Zijin was already so angry that she wanted to spit fire, but she had to take a deep breath and hold back the fire for her son’s sake.
It wasn’t only today that she found out how much Chen Jun’s parents despised her and how much they liked Qiao Nan.
It was still alright now. Chen Jun’s parents were her ex-parents-in-law.
A few years ago, before she and Chen Jun were divorced, these two elders always found her to be an eyesore and looked at her as if she couldn’t be compared to Qiao Nan at all, and that hurt.
Back then, in Ding Jiayi’s eyes, Qiao Nan could never be compared to Qiao Zijin.
Who knew that after getting married, Qiao Zijin’s and Qiao Nan’s relations.h.i.+p became completely reversed in the eyes of the Chen family?
As such, unless it was necessary, even the pregnant Qiao Zijin never appeared much in front of Father Chen and Mother Chen and would always hide as far as possible from them so that she would not be hurt by her parents-in-law’s look.
Upon encountering such a situation, most people would treat Qiao Nan better as they understood that Ding Jiayi didn’t like her. They would persuade Ding Jiayi not to have such opinions and great dissatisfaction toward Qiao Nan.
However, was Qiao Zijin ‘most people’? She was extraordinary.
Not only did Qiao Zijin not pity and understand Qiao Nan because of this situation, but she even felt that Qiao Nan deliberately played tricks for want of revenge because she had s.n.a.t.c.hed Chen Jun from her. As such, she hated Qiao Nan more and couldn’t bear for her to lead a good life.
Speaking of this, for Qiao Nan to have the opportunity to meet Zhai Sheng when she was close to forty years old and marry him, Qiao Zijin was considered indispensable.
She always said to Ding Jiayi that if Qiao Nan got married, her in-laws would definitely take away Qiao Nan’s monthly salary and not let her use the salary she had earned to support them.
Qiao Nan was brought up by the Qiao family. Her life was given to her by the Qiao family as well.
Why was it that Qiao Nan couldn’t give the money she had earned to the Qiao family? On what basis should the daughter she had raised benefit others in the future? It was as if she was raising a daughter for others.
On the contrary, as long as Qiao Nan didn’t get married temporarily and stayed at home to be an old daughter, she would have to care about her family and continue to provide for Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi.
In short, Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi had given birth to Qiao Nan. Rather than letting Qiao Nan spend her money on others, she should naturally let Ding Jiayi use the money instead.
After being instigated by Qiao Zijin, Ding Jiayi thought carefully and felt the same way.
Qiao Nan had just broken up with Chen Jun. She was also looking at the pregnant Qiao Zijin getting married to Chen Jun.
It was normal for Qiao Nan, who was hurt in relations.h.i.+ps, to not want to marry within a short period of time. However, after a long time, Qiao Nan could always meet a satisfactory marriage partner.
It was up to Ding Jiayi to keep a tight watch on her.
Qiao Zijin was all talk while Ding Jiayi was all action. Indeed, Qiao Nan was controlled tightly. Initially, she didn’t want to get married temporarily. Later, she was controlled by Ding Jiayi so much that she didn’t dare to find a marriage partner.
Qiao Zijin had never forgotten all of this.
Different from Qiao Zijin, after Qiao Nan married Zhai Sheng, Ding Jiayi expressed that it was all her credit that Qiao Nan could marry well. Without her, would Qiao Nan have such a blessing?
If she didn’t keep a tight watch on Qiao Nan previously, how would she be blessed enough to marry Zhai Sheng now? That said, Qiao Nan had borrowed her blessing as a mother to be blessed now.
