Even though she was currently penniless and didn’t have her identity card with her, Ding Jiayi had already traveled miles away from Qiao Zijin. More importantly, she had been able to do so all thanks to Qiao Nan. As such, she was extremely bold. “I’m calling you to let you know that your dad isn’t young anymore and needs someone by his side. You’re sick but I know that the doctors are skilled and I’m sure you’ll be fine now that you’ve already paid to stay in the hospital. Your dad needs me much more than you do, so I’ve gone back. You can do as you please in the future. Your dad and I aren’t going to care anymore.”
Ding Jiayi knew that Qiao Zijin was not one to give up so easily. Neither had she forgotten that threatening gaze Qiao Zijin had given her back in the hospital. Ding Jiayi had already been thinking about whether she should move out with Qiao Dongliang to start afresh in a new environment.
It wasn’t Zijin who was hiding from them. They were the ones hiding from Qiao Zijin. It was better not to have such an outstanding daughter.
“You went back? You were the one who sent me that text? Where did you go?” Qiao Zijin’s eyes widened and she toughened her stance. No, that couldn’t be possible. Her mom had no money, and her identity card was still with her. How had her mom managed to return? Was her mom so determined that she had decided to return on foot?
If her mom had the guts and ability to do that, she would immediately chop her head off for her mom to sit on. From now on, she would never dare to go against her mom’s wishes ever again.
“Where to? Your mom has only ever had one home after getting married. I’m going back to Ping Cheng. I’m already on my way back. I should be back before the end of the day. Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of myself along the way. I’ll text you again when I arrive in Ping Cheng. Oh right, my phone’s running out of battery. I’m going to have to switch it off. After all, I still have to get in touch with your dad once I arrive in Ping Cheng. Goodbye.”
After crying all night, Ding Jiayi’s attitude toward Qiao Zijin had undergone a hundred-and-eighty-degree change now that she no longer had to tolerate Qiao Zijin since she was heading back to her familiar Ping Cheng.
After explaining the situation to Qiao Zijin, Ding Jiayi decisively hung up and even switched off her phone in case Qiao Zijin annoyed her with endless phone calls. Having done all that, Ding Jiayi straightened her back proudly.
“…” Qiao Zijin was at a loss for words. She had always thought that she had had a firm hold over her mom, Ding Jiayi, but her mom had given her such a big surprise today! Thankfully, Qiao Zijin remembered that it cost money to buy a phone and no one would compensate her for it if she were to smash her phone.
How? How had her mom returned to Ping Cheng?
Could it be Qiao Nan?!
Qiao Zijin felt dizzy from anger and her neck was steaming. She felt as though she couldn’t even catch her breath. Ding Jiayi had felt the same way the previous night. Now, it was Qiao Zijin’s turn. It was just that Qiao Zijin knew nothing about this situation.
Qiao Nan, Qiao Nan, and Qiao Nan again. Why did Qiao Nan always appear in such moments to remind them of her existence? She had the urge to kill her right now! Was Qiao Nan even capable of doing something beneficial to her instead of ruining her plans all the time?
Ding Jiayi had probably been sent away, and now, she didn’t even have a helper by her side. With the court date approaching, Qiao Zijin felt as though the chips were down.
In the end, Qiao Zijin could not resist the urge to make a call to the Zhai family.
“Oh, has she changed her phone number?” The Zhai family’s auntie took a look at the display on the phone, realizing that it seemed different from Ding Jiayi’s number. The problem was that no one usually called this landline.
“I don’t think so.” Miao Jing glanced at it. “Ding Jiayi’s number is from Ping Cheng, but this is obviously a local one. It’s not Ding Jiayi. But since it’s a local number, why did they bother calling the landline instead of our cell phones?”
“Should we answer it, then?” The auntie glanced at Miao Jing.
Miao Jing contemplated for a moment before replying. “Answer it.” Hadn’t Ding Jiayi already been sent back to Ping Cheng? As long as Ding Jiayi was willing to return to Ping Cheng, she probably wouldn’t be able to cause any more trouble for Nan Nan.
“Alright.” With Miao Jing’s approval, the auntie quickly picked up the phone. “Hello, this is the Zhai family. Who are you looking for?”
“Hello, I am…” Qiao Zijin had initially wanted to introduce herself as Qiao Nan’s sister, but she was clear that the Zhai family knew about her relationship with Qiao Nan. Then, she remembered how Ding Jiayi had never been able to reach the Zhai family after coming to the capital to take care of her and also about how Qiao Dongliang had mentioned Qiao Nan returning to school after having given birth. With that, Qiao Zijin changed her mind. “Hello, I’m Qiao Nan’s classmate. I lost her mobile number and only remember her landline. Could you get Qiao Nan on the phone, please? I have something to tell her.”
The Zhai family had no reason to prevent Qiao Nan from taking a call from her classmate, right? If they really did that, the Zhai family would be terribly unreasonable.
Because Qiao Zijin rarely called the Zhai family, the auntie was not especially familiar with Qiao Zijin’s voice. Even though she thought that it was strange for someone to know their landline but not Qiao Nan’s phone number, she was afraid that the other party had something urgent, so she quickly called for Qiao Nan, who was at home that afternoon.
“My classmate?” Initially, the auntie had only told her that she had a call, so Qiao Nan had gone downstairs. But the moment she heard that it was her classmate on the line, Qiao Nan thought that it was strange. A classmate?
Having been in school for such a long time, she had never gotten close to anyone but Li Yayan, who harbored ill intentions. So, how could a classmate have called her? If they were on such good terms, shouldn’t they have called her on her mobile phone instead? Besides, Qiao Nan had never given out her landline or her own mobile phone number. “Hello, who are you?”
“Wow, you don’t even recognize your classmate’s voice?” Qiao Zijin tried to suppress her sarcasm, but it still sounded weird.
