“So you’re saying that Qiao Nan has been keeping all her items in the residence of the Zhai family?” Ding Jiayi was stunned. “Qiao Nan, that stupid girl, her mouth seems to have been sealed by a needle. She doesn’t even know how to properly greet others when she sees them. How’s it possible that she got to know someone from the Zhai family? Impossible!”

Even if the highly-regarded Zhai family was approachable, they would only accept a smart and intelligent child such as Qiao Zijin. How could they be on good terms with Qiao Nan?

“Mom, do you think Dad or Grandpa have any relation with the Zhai family? Maybe Qiao Nan found out about this and simply went to fawn on them?” If that was the case, it would not do. The Qiao family bore the surname Qiao, and so did she. If her grandpa had left this opportunity for them, Qiao Nan should not be the only one who benefited from it.

“How is that possible? This is the Zhai family, not the Lee family. Even when the Lee family sees the Zhai family, they have to courteously greet the old chief of the army. If your grandpa was so capable and knew such a prominent figure, would your dad lose his army job when we gave birth to Qiao Nan?” How she wished she had such a capable and powerful father-in-law. Too bad she didn’t!

“So formidable?” Qiao Zijin was shocked by Ding Jiayi’s admiration and inferiority complex toward the Zhai family.

Could the young man who bears the surname of Zhai, the one she met previously, be related to the formidable Zhai family?

If that was indeed the case, then she had missed an opportunity to become Cinderella!

Impossible. Mom was right. Qiao Nan was not eloquent and did not know how to get along with people. She would not be so fortunate as to get to know that kind of family.

Moreover, she only heard Qiao Nan calling that young man Brother Zhai. She was not even sure which ‘Zhai’ word it was. It could have been a word that sounded similar.

“Mom, I’ll keep a close watch on Qiao Nan tomorrow! It’s around this area right?!”

“Yes, it’s definitely around this area. Qiao Nan gets up early. It’s been hard on you at school. Are you sure you can wake up so early? Don’t tire yourself out. If you can’t, let Mom do it.”

“Mom, don’t look down on me. If Qiao Nan can wake up early, why can’t I? Don’t worry. There won’t be any problem this time!” Qiao Zijin narrowed her eyes and revealed a scheming smile. This time, her name would not be Qiao Zijin if she could not catch Qiao Nan!

“Really?”

“Yes, Mom. Just wait and see.”

This evening, Qiao Zijin stood up as soon as she finished her meal. “Dad, it’s been so tiring these few days at school. It’s late. I’ll be going to bed early.”

“It’s still so early. Are you not going to watch the TV?” It’s only slightly past seven o’clock, and Zijin was already going to sleep. Was the sun going to rise from the west tomorrow?

“No, I’ll sleep early today and wake up earlier tomorrow. I have to put in more effort and study hard too so that I can progress. An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening. I must make use of the morning time. Good night, Dad, Mom. Good night, Nan Nan.” My ‘dearest’ sister, see you again tomorrow morning.

Qiao Dongliang looked at Qiao Zijin strangely. “What’s with Zijin today?”

“Isn’t that good?” Ding Jiayi replied smilingly. “I’ll go and wash the dishes.”

“Nan Nan, what do you think?”

“…” Qiao Nan frowned. Did Qiao Zijin take the wrong medicine today?

Qiao Nan accompanied Qiao Dongliang until about eight o’clock before returning to her bedroom.
