Chapter 163: Differential Treatment

Facing the situation where Ding Jiayi only selectively listened to what she wanted to hear without understanding the meaning in others’ words, Qiao Dongliang wondered for the first time why he previously felt that Ding Jiayi was quite good as a potential wife. “Sorry about the embarra.s.sing behavior.”

“No, no.”

“No worries,” The Zhou Bing couple replied at the same time.

The corners of Ding Jiayi’s mouth became stiff. What did that mean?

At the sight of the decent-looking Zhou Jun, Ding Jiayi’s thoughts were back to him again. “Zijin, the weather is so hot. There are not many suitable things to buy. Why don’t you go and buy some fruits such as watermelon or something?”

Ding Jiayi took out some money from her pocket and tucked it in Qiao Zijin’s hands. “Remember to ask the boss to pick a good one.”

“Oh.” Qiao Zijin was quite happy to take the money. However, at the thought of the big and heavy watermelon which she had to carry back by herself, she felt that it was too hard on her. “Mom, why don’t we let Nan Nan come with me? The watermelon is too heavy. I can’t carry it. Nan Nan is quite strong. If she accompanies me, she can help carry the watermelon.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Qiao Zijin’s words made the Zhou family of three had the same expression. This expression was exactly the same as when they just heard Ding Jiayi’s earlier words.

Zhou Jun inconspicuously knitted his brows. None of them were blind. The elder sister obviously looked stronger than her younger sister. In what way did the younger sister seem to have more strength than the older one?

Although in the recent year, Qiao Nan ate much better than before, she was born to be slim. Regardless of how much she ate, her body still looked slender.

The difference was that Qiao Zijin resembled Ding Jiayi, and she would become fat if she ate too much. Hence, she had to control her diet.

In comparison to Qiao Nan, Qiao Zijin was not considered fat but she was as round as a pearl.

“Silly child! What a remark to make! I know that you are very close to Nan Nan and wanted Nan Nan to go along with you, but Nan Nan is your younger sister. It’s not possible for her to have more strength than you.” Ding Jiayi realized that Qiao Zijin’s words were inappropriate. Most importantly, with this, she could say the words that followed, “Zhou Jun, why don’t we do this? Can you accompany Zijin to buy the watermelon?”

When it came to carrying the watermelon, there was no one more suitable than Zhou Jun for the task.

Zhou Jun’s mother’s face turned black. She immediately pulled Zhou Jun’s hand and said, “Jun-er, you must have rushed here when you heard that your dad is in hospital. Look at all your sweat. You must be tired. Take a good rest.”

Zhou Jun blinked his eyes and replied smilingly, “I am really quite tired. Before I came to see my dad, I was in the midst of a mission and just returned to the camp. So I came late.”

Zhou Jun was not lying. He was indeed carrying out a mission before he rushed to the hospital.

Nevertheless, this little amount of exercise was nothing to him.
