Chapter 2091: A Mistake

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao Dongliang had intended to meet his mother-in-law first before giving Ding Jiayi a surprise during the wedding. Who would have known that he would be shocked instead of being pleasantly surprised?

After hearing Mother Ding’s words, Qiao Dongliang had decided to simply act as though Mother Ding had never appeared for fear of hurting Ding Jiayi’s feelings. Anyway, Ding Jiayi had already been prepared to not have any of her relatives present at her wedding.

It was not that Qiao Dongliang did not have any opinion on Ding Jiayi’s bias toward Qiao Zijin. It was just that Qiao Dongliang had told himself that Ding Jiayi had had it tough in the Ding family and had willingly married him to live such a life. As a man, he could not possibly treat his wife poorly.

Afraid that Qiao Nan would be upset, Qiao Dongliang had secretly told Qiao Nan about this matter, hoping that Qiao Nan would be more understanding and would not argue with Ding Jiayi. After all, Ding Jiayi was the one who had given birth to Qiao Nan.

At that time, Qiao Nan had been young and gullible. Hearing that she had a grandmother who would curse her own biological daughter, Qiao Nan had indeed taken pity on her mother, Ding Jiayi, as well. Besides, after seeing Ding Jiayi treat Qiao Zijin well, it was inevitable for Qiao Nan to want to perform even better so that her mother would like her as well..

It was a natural reaction of any child.

In her dream, this memory seemed to have been covered by a layer of fog and Qiao Nan could not even recall it. At that time, she had only thought that she could not possibly give Ding Jiayi a second chance to ruin her life since she had been given the rare opportunity of reliving a second time.

As such, Qiao Nan had almost forgotten about why she had allowed Ding Jiayi to treat her in this manner up until the age of forty in reality. In fact, she had no intentions of ever recalling the reason for that.

After living through two lifetimes, Qiao Nan was finally able to gain some understanding of Ding Jiayi. Ding Jiayi was treating Qiao Zijin as her reincarnation and she would make sure that Qiao Zijin had everything that she had never been able to get in the Ding family. Qiao Zijin living a good life was no different from her living a good second life.

While she had been in the Ding family, everything that Ding Jiayi had done was for the good of her two younger brothers. Now, she would reverse that situation and let the younger child do all the work for the sake of her elder child.

If Ding Jiayi had inherited her temper from the Ding family, Qiao Zijin must have inherited Ding Jiayi’s intelligence. Qiao Zijin was never an especially intelligent child, and given how much Ding Jiayi pampered her, her intelligence was seriously limited.

Of course, it was because of such a low IQ that she had lived miserably for forty years. Qiao Dongliang was asking her to take pity on Ding Jiayi and be understanding of Ding Jiayi? Then, who in the Qiao family would take pity on her and be understanding of her?

Ding Jiayi’s mom might not have treated her well, but Ding Jiayi had been no better toward her. Ding Jiayi was indeed Grandma Ding’s biological daughter. Their tempers were like two peas in a pod. Although Grandma Ding had treated her daughter rather poorly, she had had much more courage and backbone than Ding Jiayi.

Ding Jiayi had inherited only the worst traits from Grandma Ding without any of the good ones.

Hearing Qiao Nan’s analysis, Zhai Sheng did not rebuke her. After all, that was indeed the impression he had of Qiao Zijin. There was no use in Qiao Zijin feeling sad about that amount of money. Ding Jiayi had to feel sad too.

“Forget about it. It has nothing to do with you anymore.” Since Qiao Dongliang was already willing to say that, Nan Nan could simply treat this as someone else’s story.

Qiao Nan laughed. There was no way she would return to the same foolish self she had been in the past and carry all the Qiao family’s burden alone. She had sacrificed almost half her life for the family only to receive the title of a ‘wretched girl’! It was more than enough to experience such a painful thing once in her life.

The Qiao family could kick up a big fuss for all she cared. All she needed to do now was to live her own life and to take care of that baby growing inside her stomach. Now, Qiao Nan wondered if she had a baby in her ever-growing stomach, or whether she would have the same good fortune of having three babies at once.

When the fourth month of her pregnancy arrived, Zhai Sheng was no longer at home. Miao Jing was advanced in age, after all, and it was inconvenient to get her to tag along for the prenatal checkup. As such, Qiao Nan had asked the auntie to accompany her this time.

“Doctor, is the baby doing well?” After the ultrasound scan, Qiao Nan straightened her clothes and covered her stomach in case it got cold.

“From what I can see, the baby’s doing very well. There aren’t any major problems.” The doctor replied as she continued writing her notes.

“Doctor, is it possible to find out…” How many babies there were? Qiao Nan wondered if she trusted too much in the triplets but she felt that her stomach was a little bigger than an average pregnant woman’s at the same stage.

The doctor frowned. “Do you want to know the baby’s gender?” It was only her fourth month and she was already in a hurry to find out the baby’s gender. “We’re living in such an advanced society now. It doesn’t matter whether you have a girl or a boy. There are many boys who aren’t as caring and sweet as girls.” The doctor who had done Qiao Nan’s checkup this time was different from the previous doctor. As such, she knew nothing about Qiao Nan’s status and which family she came from.

All she knew was that Qiao Nan was a little old for a pregnant woman and that this was a geriatric pregnancy. Most women only got pregnant at such an age because they longed for a boy. “How many children do you have?” When she had conducted her tests, everything had been normal.

“This is my first.” Qiao Nan answered carefully, not understanding why the doctor would pose such a question. “Doctor, I don’t want to know the gender of my baby. I want to know how many babies there are. Is it normal for my stomach to be of this size? Isn’t it a little larger than normal?”

“…” That was what she had meant. Knowing that she had made a mistake, the doctor was slightly embarrassed. Because of Qiao Nan’s age, the doctor has misunderstood that Qiao Nan was the kind of woman who was intent on having a boy. The doctor had seen countless such cases. Every time she did an ultrasound scan, the patient and her family would always ask about the gender of the baby.
