Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief - Chapter 2476

Chapter 2476: Mushy (2)

If she were to go to the capital with her son, it would cost her money to rent an apartment. Her meals incur expenses too. When added together, it was a significant sum.

Qiao Nan wasn’t willing to fork out money, and she couldn’t possibly ask Chen Feng to pay for it. As a mother, she couldn’t possibly ask her schooling son to pay for her expenses while she lazed around at home.

In front of Qiao Nan and Ding Jiayi, Qiao Zijin lacked any sort of shame and normal worldviews.

But Chen Feng was special. As long as it concerned Chen Feng and his money, Qiao Zijin’s worldviews seemed to be much more normal.

She couldn’t spend Qiao Nan’s money, wasn’t willing to spend Chen Feng’s money, and was reluctant to spend her own money.

After giving it some thought, it seemed better for her to remain in Ping Cheng. At the very least, she had a roof over her head that belonged to Chen Feng. He wouldn’t demand rent from his own mother.

As for her meals, the cost of living in Ping Cheng was much lower than in the capital.

Ever since Ding Jiayi moved away, Qiao Zijin had no choice but to learn to be independent, not just for her own sake but also for her son’s. Over the past two years, Qiao Zijin had learned to cook and was no longer the same Qiao Zijin who relied solely on takeout.

Indeed, Qiao Zijin had been living too comfortably in the past. If forced into a corner, there was nothing Qiao Zijin couldn’t learn or do.

Buying ingredients and whipping up meals at home saved a great deal of money.

After making careful calculations, Qiao Zijin came to the conclusion of allowing Chen Feng to study alone in the capital after getting that promise from him.

Even if Qiao Zijin wasn’t tired from her own antics, her son, Chen Feng, couldn’t help but feel exhausted on her behalf.

Money was impressive indeed. It had changed Qiao Zijin’s mind entirely.

Leaving Qiao Zijin behind, Chen Feng had headed to the capital alone and had written Qiao Nan a letter using the address he had gotten from Qiao Zijin. He had even included his own number in the letter so that it would be easier for Qiao Nan to contact him.

What made Chen Feng feel bitter was that the first thing that came out of his mouth wasn’t asking how his auntie, Qiao Nan, was. Instead, he had to reassure Qiao Nan that his mom wouldn’t make her way to the capital.

Chen Feng sighed. He didn’t have any words for his mother anymore.

“Okay.” Qiao Nan replied with only a word. “Your grandparents are intelligent.”

Of course, Qiao Nan knew that it was all thanks to Father and Mother Chen that Chen Feng had lived with Qiao Zijin for the past two years and was still able to face her so calmly.

As for whether the grateful one was Qiao Nan or Chen Feng, it was hard to say.

“Auntie, I’m here to thank you. Thank you for giving me so much love and care while I was younger. And I’m sorry for all the hurt that people around me caused you. Of course, you don’t have to reply to me. It’s just that I’d feel bad not saying sorry. Lastly, you must live well and be happy.”

That was Chen Feng’s obsession.

Up until today, Chen Feng felt that it was entirely Qiao Nan’s credit that he hadn’t grown up astray even with his parents’ influence.

It was because Qiao Nan had given him sufficient love and care and had guided him to the right path that he hadn’t been negatively influenced by his parents.

Qiao Nan smiled coldly. “Xiao Feng, you’re a good kid. I hope you’ll remain this way and not go astray. It hasn’t been easy persisting until today. Since you’re all grown up and have your own ideas and beliefs, remember to hold firm to them. Don’t be easily swayed by others.”

By ‘others’, there was no doubt that it referred to Qiao Zijin, Chen Feng’s biological mother.

Apart from being excessively ambitious, Chen Jun was still relatively normal. Amongst everyone around Chen Feng, the most abnormal person was undoubtedly Qiao Zijin.

It had truly not been easy for Chen Feng to grow up into the person he was today.

It would be a pity for Chen Feng to be brought down by a rotten worm after blossoming into a healthy tree.

Chen Feng was the first child that Qiao Nan had raised, after all, and Qiao Nan still had some feelings for him. “You have my phone number. Keep it well and look for me if you face any problems in the capital.”

Chen Feng should have looked for Chen Jun instead, but ever since he had caught that illness, he was no longer able to fulfill his duties as a father.

Qiao Zijin wanted to do so but lacked the brains and capabilities.

If Chen Feng encountered any problems and sought advice from Qiao Zijin, it would probably make the situation even worse than how it started.

In that way, the only one Chen Feng could depend on in case of trouble was his younger auntie, Qiao Nan.

“Auntie, I know you have three children. How do they look like?” Chen Feng had been trying to hold his curiosity in but could no longer do so. He wanted to meet the triplets.

A few years ago, Chen Feng had been overjoyed when Chen Jun said that he was going to marry Qiao Nan.

He was waiting for his younger auntie to give him a younger sibling after becoming his mother once she married his father.

Whether it was a boy or a girl, he would cherish them and take good care of them as an elder brother.

In the end, he had indeed gotten younger brothers and a younger sister. Unfortunately, they were not Chens and were only his cousins.

The blow of not having been an elder brother had been quite a heavy one to Chen Feng.

Even if they weren’t his biological siblings, they were still his cousins.

“Alright.” Thankfully, Qiao Nan was a good mother. She had no shortage of photos and videos of her three children on her phone.

Whenever she ran out of storage on her phone, Qiao Nan would meticulously archive them according to the years and transfer them onto her computer.

That way, Qiao Nan had even more storage available, so she could continue taking more photos and videos.

“They’re all grown up! Are they in primary school?” Chen Feng was full of disbelief at the sight of the triplets’ chubby faces. How could his younger siblings have grown up so quickly? He hadn’t even seen them as babies sucking on milk!

Chen Feng was full of regrets.

While the triplets were still young, Chen Feng had been helpless and Chen Jun hadn’t gotten into trouble yet. Even if Chen Feng wanted to, he had no way of getting in contact with Qiao Nan.

Besides, because he had heard Father and Mother Chen talking about Qiao Nan, he had developed his own thoughts about her too.
