Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief
Chapter 2184

Chapter 2184: Imbecile

Didn’t the Zhai family love Qiao Nan very much? They couldn’t possibly refuse Qiao Nan’s last request, right?

“That won’t be necessary. Thank you.” Holding Miao Jing, Zhai Yaohui asked Qiao Zijin to move out of the way. Even though Qiao Zijin was Qiao Nan’s elder sister and claimed to be their family, Zhai Yaohui had no good feelings for Qiao Zijin at all. Qiao Nan was about to pass away and their whole family was devastated. On the contrary, Qiao Zijin didn’t even seem to be sad at all.

Just based on Qiao Zijin’s behavior alone, Zhai Yaohui could tell how much feeling she had for Qiao Nan. Since Qiao Zijin did not even have much feeling for Qiao Nan, there was no way she had anything to do with the Zhai family. “We’ll go there ourselves. Where’s your dad?” Why was Qiao Zijin the only one here? Where was Qiao Dongliang?

How could Qiao Dongliang be so bold to let Qiao Zijin interact with Qiao Nan alone even while knowing the kind of person she was? Qiao Nan’s condition had better not have anything to do with Qiao Zijin.

Otherwise…

This was a society ruled by the law. Anyone who committed crimes would have to be punished by the law. No one was spared from it.

“What’s wrong?” Speaking of the devil, Qiao Dongliang suddenly appeared. He had wanted to catch up with Qiao Zijin, but he was old and was no match for Qiao Zijin. Actually, Qiao Dongliang was rather unlucky too. He had hailed a cab to get to the hospital but had unfortunately encountered a traffic jam along the way. By the time he arrived at the hospital, Qiao Zijin had already given her performance. “In-laws, what’s wrong?”

Qiao Dongliang warned Qiao Zijin with his gaze, wanting to ensure that Qiao Zijin had not caused any trouble. Then, his heart leaped when he saw Miao Jing in her current state. What had Zijin done this time? Had Zijin angered Nan Nan’s mother-in-law?

Qiao Zijin was aggrieved. “Dad, why are you looking at me like that? I didn’t do anything. Auntie’s feeling unwell because she found out that Nan Nan’s going to pass away soon. She’s just devastated. It has nothing to do with me. Dad, it’s all your fault. Why didn’t you tell me earlier that Nan Nan had already given birth? If I knew about it, I would have come to the hospital yesterday to spend some time with her.”

If she had arrived an hour earlier, Qiao Nan would have an extra hour to explain the situation clearly to the Zhai family. Only then would the Zhai family believe it since Qiao Nan had said it while her mind was still clear. Zhai Sheng might not even take her last words to heart since she had said it in such a rush. Then, it might be a long while before Zhai Sheng decided to get a marriage certificate with her to marry her officially.

That might even take a year or two!

In her opinion, Zhai Sheng had all the more reasons to marry her right away once Qiao Nan passed away so that the joyous occasion would wash away all of the family’s bad luck. This was not purely superstition.

No matter what, it was her dad’s fault. If her dad had told her about this yesterday, she would have spent the night by Qiao Nan’s side in the hospital. That way, she was sure that the Zhai family would see just how much she cared for her sister.

Qiao Dongliang’s flask dropped on the ground with a loud clang. “Nan-Nan Nan’s going to die soon? That’s impossible! She was doing just fine yesterday! How could this be? I don’t believe you! The doctor said that Nan Nan’s condition would stabilize as long as she woke up within twenty-four hours. Two and a half hours ago, Zhai Sheng texted me to say that Nan Nan’s fine now and that she had already awoken. Do you mean that the doctor lied to me? I have to see her for myself!”

The news that Qiao Nan was on the verge of passing away was a bolt out of the blue for all those who truly cared for Qiao Nan, especially since the Zhai family thought that their lives were getting better now that Qiao Nan had given birth to the three children. Yesterday, the Zhai family had rejoiced over the arrival of their three new family members. But today, they had to face such a cruel reality. No one would be able to do so in their place.

“Right, I want to see Nan Nan. She’s clearly awake and she even drank a lot of soup. How could she not be well now? I don’t believe you!” After hearing Qiao Dongliang’s words, Miao Jing seemed to have regained her energy and the three elderly people rushed toward Qiao Nan’s ward.

Not only had she been unable to suck up to her future parents-in-law, but she had even been embarrassed in front of them by Qiao Dongliang! Qiao Zijin pouted. Fake. They were all fake. Her dad was biased toward Qiao Nan, but he had never cared about her so much. As for her future parents-in-law, they were even more ridiculous. Qiao Nan wasn’t even their biological daughter. Being so miserable that she couldn’t even walk? Who was she putting on that act for? She wouldn’t fall for such an act!

Everyone else was in a panic, but Qiao Zijin was extremely calm. Qiao Zijin had felt Zhai Yaohui’s gaze earlier. Leaving Zhai Sheng aside, her future parents-in-law and her father had been overly dramatic upon hearing that Qiao Nan was about to pass away. In fact, she was probably the least dedicated and caring.

Giving it some thought, Qiao Zijin sent Ding Jiayi a voice message to let her know that Qiao Nan was dying and that she had already accomplished half her mission. It would be a done deal once she got a marriage certificate with Zhai Sheng. After that, Qiao Zijin tried as hard as she could to rub her eyes as hard as possible until she teared up. Only then did she rush toward Qiao Nan’s ward with reddened eyes. “Nan Nan, you’re still so young. You just gave birth to three children. How could you leave us just like that? How could you bear to leave your loved ones behind? Nan Nan, you…”

Qiao Zijin’s tone was no different from mourning.

It was just that her hand suddenly stopped midair as she tried to ‘wipe’ away her tears. The atmosphere felt strange. Wasn’t the room too quiet now that they knew that Qiao Nan was dying? Weren’t her father and future parents-in-law devastated by the news just moments earlier? Why had they suddenly stopped in their act?

Opening her eyes, Qiao Zijin saw Qiao Dongliang’s livid expression, Zhai Yaohui’s confusion, and Miao Jing’s disgust. As for Zhai Sheng, he was looking at her no different from how he would look at a dead body. Qiao Zijin shivered in fear. “What’s-what’s wrong?” Were they not going to cry? Were they going to stop her from crying?”

Qiao Dongliang took a step forward and landed a slap squarely on Qiao Zijin’s face. “Imbecile!” Qiao Dongliang wanted to scold her for being such a shameless and evil thing. Nan Nan was still alive and well. Why had she made up such a lie that had almost caused him a heart attack?
