Chapter 2111: Who Was Hindering Who

However, that was fine. As a father, he wouldn’t give up on his own child. As long as Zijin was willing to learn it right and turn back, even if he had to start from scratch, he would be willing to do so. He would be willing to use his last breath and teach Zijin how to be human.

“...” Qiao Zijin’s body shook. “Dad, what are you talking about?” Her ears weren’t working well and she didn’t seem to have heard him clearly. “Forget it. Since I didn’t hear it, let it be. It shouldn’t be anything important. Dad, after chatting for so long, I’m thirsty. I’ll head out to drink water. You said that I’ve grown up and am about to become a grandma in a few years. You and Mom aren’t young anymore. Who am I to interfere in your matters? No matter what decision you make, as a child, I would only express my support. As long as you’ve thought about it, you can decide how you want to interact with Mom.”

She purely volunteered to help as she hoped that her parents would reconcile. Their feelings would then be the same as before and they wouldn’t get into conflicts often. If they reconciled, it was a good thing for her dad as well. She wouldn’t take advantage of it.

She was here to help her parents get back together. Who knew that once her dad spoke, he actually wanted her to return the one and a half million yuan to Qiao Nan? On what basis should she do that? No!

Who said that the money belonged to Qiao Nan? It obviously belonged to her. The name on the bank account was her, Qiao Zijin, not Qiao Nan. Her mom just asked her for one hundred thousand yuan. It was just one hundred thousand yuan and she didn’t agree to it.

She thought that her mother’s attitude of asking people for money once every two days was already hateful and greedy enough. Who knew that the most vicious person was her dad instead? Her mom wanted a six-digit figure. Her dad wanted a seven-digit figure and her to empty her pockets completely.

Without money, was her dad planning to let her beg for food on the streets in the future?

That was too overboard!

Qiao Zijin didn’t want to completely fall out with Qiao Dongliang yet. Even if she couldn’t accept Qiao Dongliang’s words, Qiao Zijin only pretended that she didn’t hear them. She casually said a few vague words and let this matter pass.

Qiao Zijin had such thoughts but Qiao Dongliang didn’t. “Zijin, I know you heard what I’ve just said and you understand them too. So, are you going to return the one and a half million yuan in the bank to Nan Nan? It’s just a simple yes or no. As an adult, you should speak and do things in a straightforward manner. There’s no significance in playing dumb. You have to know that if you pretend to be dumb often, you aren’t pretending anymore. You are really dumb.”

It was also because of Qiao Dongliang’s words at the end that Qiao Zijin was sad and ran out crying. Not only did her dad want her to beg on the streets and return all the money to Qiao Nan, but he actually said that she was dumb as well. Even if she wasn’t very good at studying, her teachers and classmates never scolded her like that before in school. However, her birth dad said that she was dumb.

Qiao Zijin, who couldn’t bear this, cried very badly, like a little girl. She ran out angrily from Qiao Dongliang’s room and wanted to complain to Ding Jiayi how pitiful she was so that Ding Jiayi wouldn’t always throw tantrums at her. Otherwise, it would seem that she was going to be blamed either way in front of her parents.

The tragedy was that in the recent period—no, recent year, Qiao Zijin had been extremely unlucky. Whatever she thought of didn’t succeed.

She was completely unsuccessful when she acted pitiful in front of Ding Jiayi. Ding Jiayi had no intention to be fooled at all.

Ding Jiayi proposed that Qiao Zijin had better give one hundred thousand yuan to her so that she could use it to coax Qiao Dongliang. Qiao Zijin became angry and pointed out that Ding Jiayi was like a blood-sucking vampire who leeched on her children. However, after Qiao Dongliang asked her to return all the money she had to Qiao Nan, it didn’t seem that unacceptable when Ding Jiayi asked her to fork out just one hundred thousand yuan.

Compared to her everything, which was a seven-digit figure, a six-digit figure was just one-fifteenth of it. It wasn’t a lot.

Even if the one hundred thousand yuan eventually became two hundred thousand yuan, as long as she could achieve her goal, Qiao Zijin would be more than willing to fork out the money. It was the one and a half million yuan that Qiao Dongliang mentioned that really frightened Qiao Zijin.

Qiao Zijin initially didn’t replace the chance to talk to Ding Jiayi about this one and a half million yuan. After that, she felt that there was completely no need to mention this again. Ding Jiayi only requested two hundred thousand yuan. If Qiao Zijin forked out two hundred thousand yuan, then Ding Jiayi’s side could at least be peaceful for a while.

Qiao Zijin couldn’t help but guard against Ding Jiayi. What if she mentioned this one and a half million yuan and Ding Jiayi developed new thoughts? What should she do then?

Even if her plan could succeed and she could really marry into the Zhai family to take over Qiao Nan’s position, Qiao Zijin was still unwilling to bear with the one and a half million yuan. This amount of money was for her to live. She couldn’t give it to anyone.

However, her mom was the kind of person who might say that since she needed her help and that she would be marrying Zhai Sheng in the future, she didn’t need to worry about money. As such, she could fork out this sum of money first and pay filial piety to her mom.

In order to prevent such a situation from happening, Qiao Zijin dared not start a conversation like this.

After having this new plan, Qiao Zijin hid all the pitiful words and grievances that she wanted to say initially in front of Ding Jiayi. She didn’t give Ding Jiayi any clue. As such, the curious Ding Jiayi could only come over and ask Qiao Dongliang.

Qiao Dongliang didn’t want to say that Ding Jiayi had spoiled Qiao Zijin rotten. Since Ding Jiayi kept saying that Qiao Zijin was the best daughter in this world, if there was anything, Ding Jiayi should ask this representative of a good daughter and not him, the bad representative of a husband. Wasn’t this right?

“Old Qiao, it has been so long. Are you still angry?” With this tone and expression, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were really in sync.

Qiao Dongliang relaxed his shoulders. He couldn’t remember how many times he had sighed. “No, I’m no longer angry as I don’t have the energy to be angry anymore. If I’m angry at the both of you, I’m just going against myself.”

After being angry for half a day, Old Ding and Zijin didn’t know where they were wrong. No, they never realized that they were wrong. Even if he was willing to point it out, Old Ding and Zijin were unwilling to listen. He didn’t understand. He got married and had children. Other people did the same too. Why was it that it was so easy for others to lead an ordinary life? He wanted to lead a simpler life. Were such days so difficult to come by?

Back then, he married Ding Jiayi, causing Ding Jiayi to fall out with the Ding family. Did he make a wrong decision, or did Ding Jiayi make a wrong decision? Did he hinder Ding Jiayi, or did Ding Jiayi hinder him?
