Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief - Chapter 1054

1054 The Wealthier, the Pettier

“…”

There was a moment of silence at the other end of the phone. Qiao Zijin’s voice changed slightly. “Nan Nan is back and she specially requested it back from me?” It was just a set of clothing. She was being too petty.

Her father had told her that Zhai Sheng was going to collect the wedding certificate and hold a wedding banquet with Qiao Nan after the Lunar New Year.

The good days of Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng were approaching. She did not believe that the Zhai family would not bring Qiao Nan to buy more good-looking clothes and jewelry.

This was just a set of used clothing and Qiao Nan had to keep such a tight watch on it. She was too stingy.

“No.” Qiao Dongliang felt that Qiao Zijin was a good one. Of course, he would also find ways to let Qiao Zijin understand that Qiao Nan was also a good sister. “Nan Nan doesn’t know anything. That’s why I am reminding you to come quickly, in case Nan Nan becomes unhappy when she discovers it. When Nan Nan feels unhappy after she discovers it, she won’t listen to your explanation anymore.”

Although Nan Nan had already found out about this, he believed that Nan Nan would gradually accept Zijin as long as Zijin took the initiative.

Yesterday was the day before the Lunar New Year’s eve. The family of three sat together and had a meal. Again, Qiao Dongliang mentioned that he hoped that Qiao Zijin would break up with Chen Jun.

Qiao Zijin’s attitude had improved. She did not lose her temper but she insisted to be together with Chen Jun.

Ding Jiayi helped put in good words for Chen Jun and Qiao Zijin. “Old Qiao, you are aware that I have never been a capable person. Since the two of us divorced, I have always been working but my salary is meager. Not to mention letting Qiao Zijin pay the school fees, I am already having a tough time earning her living expenses. If not for the fact that Chen Jun likes Zijin and treats her well by taking out some money to help her, I’m afraid Zijin won’t be able to continue with her studies.”

“Old Qiao, didn’t you always tell me that you hope that our two children will be more educated? You hope that they will pick up more knowledge so that they will become successful in the future. Chen Jun is quite good to Zijin. The two children have feelings toward each other. You should let nature take its course and let them develop on their own.”

“What do you know?” Qiao Dongliang looked very upset as if his face had been smeared with chili oil.

Initially, this daughter should be raised by him. Having heard what Ding Jiayi said, it was as if Chen Jun was helping him support his daughter. He, and not Zijin, was the one who owed Chen Jun.

After feeling upset for a while, fortunately, Qiao Dongliang was still rational. He immediately recalled that Qiao Zijin was under the custody of Ding Jiayi after their divorce. All the burden of Qiao Zijin’s studies should be borne by Ding Jiayi.

“Old Qiao, it’s already the 21st century. We are talking about the freedom to love. If Chen Jun is a good one and you let them break up, you won’t be doing Zijin any good. Zijin is not stupid. Even if you don’t tell her, she will also break up with Chen Jun if he is a bad one. We shouldn’t interfere in this matter.” Ding Jiayi persuaded Qiao Dongliang. She was very experienced and thus very clear of what to say to convince Qiao Dongliang.

With Ding Jiayi as the mediator, true enough, Qiao Dongliang was not as angry as before on Qiao Zijin’s persistence. However, in his heart, he still disapproved of the relationship between Chen Jun and Qiao Zijin.

Qiao Dongliang felt that Chen Jun was probably not a good man.

Qiao Nan once said that there was a problem with Wei De. In the end, the truth had spoken. Wasn’t Wei De a huge problem?

Chen Jun’s initial target was Qiao Nan, but Qiao Nan disliked him and even said that he did not seem to be a good person. Qiao Dongliang believed Qiao Nan’s words very much. He had some ideas in his mind.

Qiao Nan had exposed Wei De’s true colors for Zhai Hua. If his two daughters could reconcile with each other, would his younger daughter watch on as Zijin jumped into the fire pit?

Nan Nan would definitely think of a way to investigate the background of Chen Jun, lest Zijin continue to be taken in by him.

Fortunately, on the evening of the day before the Lunar New Year’s eve, Qiao Zijin expressed a few times that she liked Qiao Nan, this younger sister very much. She was young and insensible last time and felt that her younger sister was vying for her parent’s love.

Now, she had become sensible and understanding. She would not have such ludicrous thoughts anymore. She very much wished to mend the relationship with Qiao Nan.

When Qiao Dongliang heard Qiao Zijin’s plan, he nodded continuously. “Zijin, it’s right that you think of it this way. Nan Nan is a good child. She has a conscience and is smart. You are the elder sister. You should be taking care of Nan Nan. However, Nan Nan will definitely be very successful in the future. You will certainly need Nan Nan’s help. Zijin, no matter the reasons, you should carefully consider how to reconcile with Nan Nan.”

The elder daughter had to rely on the care of the younger daughter. How would it work if they were not on good terms?

As a father, he wanted to give another try for the sake of his two daughters. Qiao Dongliang anxiously yearned that Qiao Nan could forgive Qiao Zijin before she formally collected the wedding certificate with Zhai Sheng.

Qiao Dongliang was well aware that the difference would be great on whether they reconciled before or after Qiao Nan’s marriage.

Only when this matter was resolved before the marriage that Qiao Zijin would truly receive Qiao Nan’s forgiveness and even be accepted by the Zhai family.

As such, once there was an opportunity, Qiao Dongliag deliberately helped Qiao Zijin gain favor in front of Qiao Nan. It was good if Qiao Zijin could take more initiative. “Zijin, don’t worry. There won’t be a problem if the clothes that you sent over are wet. If Nan Nan asks about it, I will help you shoulder it. I will tell her that I have accidentally wet it.”

Qiao Dongliang seldom borrowed clothes from others. As soon as he arrived home, he had the habit of changing out of someone else’s clothing into his own and asked Ding Jiayi to wash the clothes that he had borrowed.

Qiao Zijin was Qiao Dongliang’s daughter. Qiao Dongliang took it for granted that Qiao Zijin would have the same character as him.

When he asked Qiao Zijin to hurry and send the wet clothes over, his tone was so firm and confident.

“It takes about half an hour to get here from the small courtyard of the Qiao family. I will wait for you. I will leave the house in half an hour.”

Qiao Nan, who had been watching this indifferently by the side, laughed. Her eyes were filled with sarcasm. Qiao Dongliang was having a monotonous dialog and trying to help Qiao Zijin salvage her face and image.

“Zijin?” Qiao Dongliang had said so much but he did not receive a response from the other side of the phone. It was so quiet that Qiao Dongliang, who was feeling hot, could not help turning cold. “Zijin, are you listening?”

“Dad, I am.” Qiao Zijin’s tone shivered gently. “Actually, I have only worn them for a few hours. As long as I put them back, no one should be able to tell.” Wash?

What wash? She was still wearing them!

The clothes that Miao Jing gave Qiao Nan were not only branded but expensive. The materials felt extremely comfortable. It was soft and cozy.

There was nothing better than this to a young lady who loved to be pretty.

Qiao Zijin had always wanted to wear this kind of clothes in her entire life but she did not have a chance to do so until she borrowed Qiao Nan’s.
