Chapter 230 - The Appearance of ‘Qiao Nan’ (2/2)

On the surface, Ding Jiayi’s face was filled with smiles of grat.i.tude. “Of course that’s right. Nan Nan will definitely remember the three of you and will be grateful to you in the future.”

“Uh, Ding Jiayi. Isn’t that your elder daughter, Qiao Zijin? It’s not Nan Nan, though?” One of the women who bore the surname Ma, Mrs. Ma, saw the young lady who appeared in the small alley. As she fixed her eyes on the lady, she saw that this was the elder daughter of the Qiao family, not the younger one. “Ding Jiayi, have you been mistaken? Is Qiao Zijin the one you’re referring to and not Nan Nan?”

Everyone in the quad knew that Ding Jiayi favored the elder daughter. She treated Qiao Zijin like a treasure but treated Nan Nan like a piece of gra.s.s.

It was possible that Ding Jiayi put all the blame of the elder daughter’s wrongdoings on the younger one.

“I won’t be mistaken.” Ding Jiayi’s expression changed. Why did Zijin come over instead of staying at home? It didn’t matter that Zijin came, but where was Qiao Nan, that wretched girl?

Thereafter, Ding Jiayi did not need to explain further. Qiao Zijin appeared again and even found a place to hide. At the sight of this, Mrs. Ma and the rest felt ridiculous. “Ding Jiayi, Qiao Zijin is…”

“…” Ding Jiayi sighed. Zijin was too anxious. She had already told her that she would handle the matter, but Zijin just had to be so anxious to see it herself. “Zijin is the elder sister. Naturally, she is concerned about Nan Nan and also takes good care of her. I guess she must have found out about Nan Nan’s situation and was worried, so…”

“Oh, I see.”

“Shh, don’t talk. Someone is here.”

It was early in the morning and the back alley was very quiet. Hence, the sound of the approaching footsteps was particularly clear.

Upon hearing the footsteps, the five women in the alley had their eyes wide open. They were staring at the direction where the sound was coming from, following which the five of them saw a young lady in a dress and a straw hat.

The straw hat was oversized and the hat hole was gigantic. The young lady had her head down. Therefore, they could not see clearly how she looked like. However, her slim and tender figure resembled that of Qiao Nan. Moreover, the dress the young lady was wearing was the one that Ding Jiayi bought for Qiao Zijin. How could Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin not recognize this dress?

She had finally appeared!

Qiao Zijin, who was hiding by the side, knitted her brows. When Qiao Nan left the house today, she did not wear this straw hat.

Could it be that after she left, Qiao Nan went back home and took the hat as she was afraid of the heat from the sun?

Looking at the time, Qiao Nan did reach here a little later than expected. This explanation thus made sense.

“This is Nan Nan?” Mrs. Ma asked suspiciously.

“Yes, it must be her. I bought this dress for Zi… for Nan Nan. I won’t get it wrong!” She would still recognize Qiao Nan even if she was wearing a hat. She gave birth to Qiao Nan. Even if Qiao Nan changed her skin, she would still recognize her, not to mention that she was only wearing a hat at the moment.

“See for yourself. This wretched… Nan Nan actually walked toward the Zhai’s residence!”
