Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The problem was that Qiao Zijin had forgotten about a situation. Yes, the Qiao family didn’t buy a car. However, a lot of people had private cars. It could be said private cars were a common sight. If Ding Jiayi took someone else’s car to return to Ping Cheng, then an identity card wouldn’t be required.
It was more expensive to take someone else’s car to return to Ping Cheng. However, to Qiao Nan, if Ding Jiayi was willing to leave, even if she didn’t have the Zhu family’s inheritance, this little sum of money was nothing to her. She could afford it.
“Alright…” At this moment, Ding Jiayi was like a headless fly. She naturally did what Qiao Nan said.
Qiao Nan said that someone would call her mobile and contact her. Ding Jiayi kept her phone plugged to the power source to ensure that her battery was fully charged. Then, she stared fixedly at the phone, afraid of missing out on a call or text message.
Indeed, half an hour later, Ding Jiayi’s phone rang. “Hello? Are you the person my daughter found?”
The other party was speechless. If he was a liar, once Ding Jiayi said so, could he still say no? Thankfully, he wasn’t a liar. “Yes. Are you Madam Ding, Qiao Nan’s mother?” It was better to confirm her identity, lest he picked up the wrong person.
“Yes, I’m Qiao Nan’s mother. Qiao Nan’s my daughter.” Ding Jiayi heaved a sigh of relief. Qiao Nan did what she said. She really arranged for her to return to Ping Cheng.
After confirming her identity, the driver heaved a sigh of relief. “Hello. I’ve already reached the destination. The car plate number is… Can you come down? You’re going to Ping Cheng, right?”
“Yes, I’ll come down immediately.” After Ding Jiayi closed the door, she brought her own things and went downstairs. Based on the car plate number, she found the car. “Qiao Nan sent you to pick me up, right? You’re taking me back to Ping Cheng?”
“Yes.”
“May I check if Qiao Nan has already given you the money for sending me back?” He was making a trip to Ping Cheng because of her. This trip would definitely not be cheap. Even if she still had money to pay for this trip, she wasn’t very willing to fork it out as she felt the pinch, let alone the fact that Qiao Zijin had already taken all her money.
The other party looked at Ding Jiayi helplessly via the rearview mirror. “Madam Ding, don’t worry. We won’t charge you twice. Someone will pay for your fare back to Ping Cheng this time. I won’t ask you for a single cent. Don’t worry.” It was all about credit when doing business. Furthermore, he heard that the person who hired him to drive had a strong background. How would he be so stupid?
“That’s good.” After confirming that she didn’t need to pay for anything, Ding Jiayi no longer hesitated. “It’s tough on you. I hope you can drive faster and send me back to Ping Cheng earlier.” Looking at the time, if the driver drove faster, she might even be able to return to Ping Cheng today.
“Alright.” This was a big business. Even if Ding Jiayi didn’t say anything, the driver would have done everything properly.
Ding Jiayi, who was sitting in the car, saw that she was getting further from Qiao Zijin’s rented house. She couldn’t help but loosen her frowning eyebrows. It could be said that she was going to leave this scary place. No matter who called in the future, she was never coming back to the capital.
Ding Jiayi’s phone rang. Ding Jiayi was shocked and took out her phone. It was actually the new number Qiao Zijin was using after she came to the capital. Without thinking, Ding Jiayi cut off Qiao Zijin’s call and refused to pick up. Until now, she couldn’t forget what Qiao Zijin had said to her and her expression yesterday when she had taken her money and identity card from her pockets.
To prevent Old Qiao from coming to the capital earlier, she helped Qiao Zijin steal his identity card and tore his train ticket. In the end, Qiao Zijin actually said that she and Old Qiao were both old and particularly prone to losing things. That period when Old Qiao ‘lost’ his things was the best proof. Until now, Ding Jiayi still felt hatred in her heart.
Because of this, Ding Jiayi was given a slap to the face. What was more infuriating was that she was slapped by both Qiao Zijin and herself. If she had known that Qiao Zijin was so rebellious and would be so ruthless to her, the biological mother, why would she do so many unpleasant things over the years such that Old Qiao had opinions about her and Qiao Nan didn’t want to acknowledge her?
Old Qiao was right. If not for Qiao Zijin teaching her bad things by her side, her relationship with Qiao Nan wouldn’t have been so bad that she didn’t enjoy any blessings after Qiao Nan became prosperous. Based on Qiao Nan’s character, even if she didn’t like Qiao Nan and her attitude toward her wasn’t good, as long as there wasn’t a Qiao Zijin in the middle, their relationship would be poor at most, and not as bad as now.
After Ding Jiayi rejected the first call, Qiao Zijin called again. Ding Jiayi still carried the same attitude as before. She refused to look, listen, or pick up her call.
Qiao Zijin reacted quickly. Seeing that Ding Jiayi wasn’t prepared to pick up her call today, she sent a text message instead. “Mom, are you going to ignore me, your daughter? Don’t forget that you don’t have any money on you now. Aside from Qiao Nan, you only know me. Only I can take care of you. I’m hungry. Quickly make something for me to eat and bring it to the hospital. Also, I think I’m almost healed. Help me prepare the discharge procedures. I want to see Qiao Nan.”
After that, Qiao Zijin sent another text message. “Mom, the house I rented is quite small, right? There’s only one room. When I hadn’t divorced Chen Jun, even my wardrobe was bigger than the current place I’m living in. You must not be used to living in a house like a bird’s nest. However, don’t worry. With me around, I will definitely work hard to make you lead a comfortable life. By then, we will find Qiao Nan and discuss things together. Also, prices in the capital are different from those in Ping Cheng. Qiao Nan used to transfer you one thousand yuan every month previously. That is definitely not enough in the capital. Furthermore, she used to transfer the money to Dad in the past. Let’s discuss it with her so that she would transfer your share to you directly. Ask her to give you five years’ worth of money at once. You can take it easily and she can give it readily. That would be much less troublesome.”
After seeing such a long message, Ding Jiayi felt that her vision was blurred. Although she had a hard time reading it, she understood what Qiao Zijin meant. Qiao Zijin still wanted her to stay and let Qiao Nan provide for her. Of course, at the same time that Qiao Nan was providing for her, Qiao Zijin would be able to take advantage of this as well.
As long as Qiao Nan agreed, it would be very easy for Qiao Zijin to gain a foothold in the capital.. She would live in Qiao Nan’s place and spend her mom’s money for food and everything else.
