Chapter 1061 Don’t Be Taken Advantage of

Upon hearing that, Shi Qing rolled her eyes continuously. “He is so foolish. What kind of person is Qiao Zijin? Don’t tell me that he still can’t tell clearly now? Brother Zhai was the one who prepared the dowry for you. However, on your wedding day, when people see the generous spread of dowry, will the Zhai family publicize that they were the ones who provided them? That they are putting up an appearance for you since the Qiao family can’t afford any dowry?”

Shi Qing really took her hat off to Qiao Dongliang. “In the past, you said I don’t know how to manage interpersonal matters. You taught and chided me. Compared to Uncle Qiao, I can become a veteran master.”

Qiao Nan covered herself tightly with her blanket and laughed. “If we swap Qiao Zijin with someone else, my dad will definitely come to his senses immediately.”

Those items were prepared by Brother Zhai to keep up an appearance for her father and her. Of course, this situation must not be let known to outsiders.

Furthermore, sometimes, the truth did not matter. Most importantly, it was what some people wished to see.

The dowry that Brother Zhai prepared for her was so generous. The day that Qiao Zijin married Chen Jun, they would be in for a good show if her father could not cough up all these items.

Regarding this situation, Qiao Nan did not wish to remind Qiao Dongliang anymore. This was because she knew that Qiao Dongliang would not believe her. He might even turn around and reprimand her for thinking of Qiao Zijin in that way.

Qiao Nan really felt despaired about Qiao Dongliang, her father.

Life was an outcome of one’s own doings. Did she have to keep her father company by the side and help him keep a watch forever?

It was not feasible.

Upon figuring this out, just as how she felt about Qiao Zijin, Qiao Nan also lost all her hopes on Qiao Dongliang.

It was Qiao Nan’s school holidays but she did not stay at home. Qiao Dongliang was already used to this situation. He had been through it for the past half a year.

When he recalled that Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin stayed in Qiao Nan’s room last night, he vaguely felt that something was not right. He seemed to have gone overboard in allowing that.

Sigh. Old Ding and Zijin also deserved it. They just had to provoke Nan Nan.

Most of the time, Nan Nan was not a petty person. One just had to look at how Nan Nan treated Shi Qing.

Nan Nan treated Shi Qing much better than she did Zijin. This meant that the way Zijin treated Nan Nan was not any better than how an outsider did.

Lying on the bed in the dark and dim room, Qiao Dongliang also began to do some self-reflection.

He wanted to help but his elder daughter would not cooperate. She had to continuously provoke his younger daughter. Even if he had the will, he lacked enthusiasm and power.

Well, if his elder daughter could behave well next time, he would help her put in some good words to the younger daughter then.

Of course, if something similar to what happened during the day occurred again, no matter how pleasant the elder daughter’s words, he would not be able to intervene in the matters between his two daughters.

Recently, Chen Jun would enquire about Qiao Zijin’s situation every day. Without exception, he called Qiao Zijin today. “Did your mom and you stay in your father’s house yesterday on the day before the eve of Lunar New Year?”

“We did!”

Chen Jun’s tone improved tremendously. “Very good. It seems that your relationship with your father is improving. How about your relationship with Qiao Nan? Did your father help you?”

“…” Now, the person that Qiao Zijin did not wish to mention most was Qiao Nan. She still owed Qiao Nan money for a set of clothing. “My dad certainly did help.”

Chen Jun was not so easily taken in. “Your dad has helped, but did you shoot yourself in the foot?”

Qiao Zijin and Qiao Nan were on bad terms and it was all because of Qiao Zijin’s doings. Chen Jun was well aware.

As such, Qiao Dongliang’s help was secondary to whether Qiao Zijin could reconcile with Qiao Nan. The primary factor was Qiao Zijin’s own attitude.

“I…”

“Speak. What stupid thing did you do again?” The moment Qiao Zijin hesitated, Chen Jun could tell that there was a problem.

“I didn’t do it on purpose. When I went there yesterday, I borrowed Qiao Nan’s clothes to wear because I didn’t bring any. Thereafter, I accidentally spoiled them. Qiao Nan is so petty. She shrewishly insisted that I pay her back.” Qiao Zijin was both angry and anxious. “Isn’t it just a set of used clothing? I am her biological sister. She still has the shame to request compensation from me. She doesn’t take into account our kinship at all.”

Chen Jun could not help twisting the corners of his lips. “Did you really spoil the clothes accidentally? Qiao Zijin, did you forget my words?” He was still troubled that he did not have a chance to give Qiao Nan anything. If Qiao Nan was willing to, he was willing to give her anything.

He did not even have the chance to send a gift and Qiao Zijin had the guts to spoil Qiao Nan’s clothes. Every word of hers revealed the same intention—not compensating, moronic…

“Forget it. Perhaps this is also an opportunity for us.” A bright idea flashed in Chen Jun’s mind. He thought of a solution. “Qiao Nan wants you to compensate, right? You don’t need to fork out this sum of money. I will. However, if you fail again, you have to watch it in the future.”

No matter how formidable his means were, he could not afford to have a noob ally by his side.

Chen Jun often doubted whether his encounter with Qiao Zijin was an opportunity or a disaster.

Qiao Nan was so smart. She had such a wide interpersonal network. As her elder sister, Qiao Zijin was like a piece of shit. No matter how he taught her, she could not understand.

“Okay.” When Chen Jun spoke, Qiao Zijin could only agree.

When the two hung up the phone, Ding Jiayi leaned over with a bright and cheery face. “What did my son-in-law say to you?” Certainly, Chen Jun’s family background could not be compared to that of Zhai Sheng. However, they might only find a few in the entire country who could be compared to Zhai Sheng.

Regardless of how proud Ding Jiayi was, she still had this little sense of self-awareness.

She could not yearn for Qiao Zijin to find a man like Zhai Sheng. Nevertheless, if she could find someone like Chen Jun, whose family members were government officials, it was not bad too.

As expected, Ding Jiayi was quite satisfied with Chen Jun, this son-in-law. After all, he was much better than the people in the quad.

“He asked me to compensate Qiao Nan. He will fork out this sum of money.” Qiao Zijin’s feet had been stomping on the ground. She was very reluctant to compensate. “She is going to be married to Zhai Sheng soon. She will get whatever she wants in the future, yet she is still so petty. She can’t even bear to part with a set of used clothing and insisted that I return them. When she found out that I spoiled it, she even picked a fight with me and insisted that I compensate her.”

Ding Jiayi’s stiffened her brows. “This wretched girl has no conscience. It’s not the first day that we know this. Fine. Now, we know. No matter how well this wretched girl marries, we won’t be able to bask in any of her glory. However, we can’t let her take advantage of us. Since she wants us to compensate, we will do so. My son-in-law doesn’t lack this little sum of money. However, we can’t let her ask for the sky regarding the price of that set of clothing. You have to think about it more. Don’t let her take any excess money from us.”

Ding Jiayi was worried that Qiao Nan would inform them of a false price for the clothes. In her opinion, even the price of new clothes could be bargained.
