Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Novel - Chapter 1759

Chapter 1759: Angry

There had been several instances where Qiao Nan’s birth mother had barged into the factory, demanding to check for herself how much Qiao Nan earned in a month.

At times, when it came to the day when the factory gave out their wages, Qiao Nan’s mom would immediately appear at the factory and wipe Qiao Nan’s salary clean.

That was why Qiao Nan’s superior did not care about Qiao Nan’s private life. Qiao Nan did not live with the Qiao family and had to pay for her own expenses. But every month, her mom would take away her entire month’s worth of salary without fail. If Qiao Nan did not take on part-time work, she would probably starve to death.

Because he knew that the Qiao family pestered Qiao Nan like blood-sucking devils, Qiao Nan’s superior was full of doubts when Qiao Nan approached him to tender her resignation.

It was true that the work intensity at the factory was slightly higher than usual, but the pay was good and their wages rose a little every year. Now that society had progressed and developed, the living standards had also been raised. They would not be able to survive without a raise in their salaries.

Initially, he had thought that the Qiao family would force Qiao Nan to work in the factory up until her death because of her high salary.

“No, I’m thinking of moving away and changing my lifestyle. I’m sorry for the trouble I caused in the past, but I guess there might be more trouble brewing. When that time comes, just leave them alone. Anyway, I won’t be around, so they won’t be able to do anything.”

“Oh!” Her superior was taken aback and asked cautiously, “Have you finally come to a realization?” Even as a bystander, he could not bear to see how the Qiao family treated Qiao Nan. Qiao Nan’s temper was too good for her own good. In fact, Qiao Nan probably did not have a temper at all. For her whole life, she had always been listening to the Qiao family and had never had her own personal space.

“Yes, I’ve already died once. I’ve come to my senses.” Qiao Nan did not elaborate on that, but Qiao Nan had taken note of what her superior had said earlier. “I don’t have any impression of anyone from the factory coming to visit me in the past two months.”

“…” Her superior bit on his lip. “They were not careful and ran into your mom…”

As for what had happened afterward, her superior did not want to talk about it. He knew that it would just be a waste of his breath talking about it. Qiao Nan had no reaction to being bullied by her mom, so it went without saying Qiao Nan would not be able to do anything now that the employees of the factory had been scolded and insulted by her mom.

Qiao Nan had gotten into a car accident, after all, and had sustained injuries serious enough to warrant hospitalization. Everyone knew that Qiao Nan led a hard life. As such, everyone had chipped in and pooled together a sum of money to express their concern for Qiao Nan after such a tragedy had happened to her.

The representative had not been able to meet Qiao Nan but bumped into Ding Jiayi instead. Ding Jiayi kept Qiao Nan’s monthly salary, and as such, she had a faint impression of Qiao Nan’s colleagues at the factory.

The moment she saw the other party, Ding Jiayi guessed the situation and quickly said, “Are you here to see Qiao Nan? I’m sorry that you had to make your way down. Qiao Nan sustained quite severe injuries in this accident and is still recuperating in her ward. The doctor won’t let any outsiders in. When Qiao Nan recovers and returns to the factory, I’ll be sure to get her to thank you all for your concern. Oh, you guys are too kind. You shouldn’t have bothered bringing so many things to visit. Come, hand all these things over to me.”

Ding Jiayi had sharp eyes and could tell straightaway that the fruit basket was worth several hundred yuan. Amongst them were several expensive and nutritious fruits that Ding Jiayi had never been willing to splurge on. This was just as well. She could wash them and let Qiao Zijin have them!

The valuable fruit basket caught Ding Jiayi’s eyes indeed, but none more so than the envelope in the fruit basket. It was so thick. It could not possibly contain fruits. No matter how she looked at it, the envelope had to contain cash.

Looking at its thickness, Ding Jiayi guessed that it should contain at least ten thousand yuan. Ding Jiayi had not expected that Qiao Nan’s colleagues from the factory would be so generous as to send so much money over to Qiao Nan now that she was hospitalized.

With ten thousand yuan, she would be able to make Zijin’s stay in the hospital even more comfortable. Didn’t Zijin want some magazines? She would go to the newsstand and ask for similar titles and buy them all for Zijin.

After making up her mind, Ding Jiayi did not even care about the other party’s astonishment and grabbed the fruit basket over from the other party with great force. “Thank you. You can leave.”

Knowing the kind of person Ding Jiayi was, the colleague refused to let go.

Ding Jiayi was no match for that young man. Upset, Ding Jiayi spat out unpleasant words. “Hey, I think you’re really strange. Isn’t this for our Qiao Nan? Aren’t you giving it to my daughter? Why aren’t you handing it over? This isn’t yours! It’s probably something that your colleagues came together to give to my younger daughter, isn’t it? Are you trying to claim this fruit basket for yourself because it’s valuable and even has a huge sum of money in it?”

The colleague flushed red with anger and barely stopped himself from rebuking her.

This was like the pot calling the kettle black!

Because they knew that Qiao Nan led a hard life under her mom’s control, they were afraid that Qiao Nan would have no money to buy supplements for herself now that she was hospitalized. That was why they had pooled together some funds for Qiao Nan. If the money were to fall into Ding Jiayi’s hands, Qiao Nan would not get a single cent of it. No way was he going to let go. He wanted to personally hand it over to Qiao Nan.

But he had never expected that Ding Jiayi would be just as thick-skinned toward other people as she was toward Qiao Nan. She was completely shameless!

As a grown-up man, he was being accused by Ding Jiayi in public of wanting to steal a patient’s money. Especially given Ding Jiayi’s relationship to Qiao Nan, a normal bystander would simply assume that a biological mother would never hurt her own daughter. In that way, it was definitely the colleague, who had come to send the money over, that was at fault.

In the face of such public criticism, the colleague felt that he had never been so embarrassed in his entire life. He had done nothing, yet he had to become the scapegoat and take the blame!

In the end, that male colleague could not stand it any longer and his face turned purple. He let go of the basket and it landed right in Ding Jiayi’s hands. Following that, the male colleague immediately ran out of the hospital. If he were ever to fall sick in the future, he would never visit this hospital. It was way too embarrassing.

The male colleague then told his boss about this incident. He had no other choice. After all, he owed his boss an explanation since the money had not been handed over to Qiao Nan. What if Qiao Nan returned to work knowing nothing about that ten thousand yuan? If their boss were to ask her about it and there was a discrepancy, everyone would misunderstand that he had been greedy and stolen Qiao Nan’s ten thousand yuan.

If that really happened, he would feel so wronged.

Knowing that his good intentions had been trampled upon by Ding Jiayi and that Ding Jiayi had even humiliated his own employee, their superior was infuriated. Who on earth had no temper?
