Chapter 232: Nothing Was Lost

“Mom, don’t cry, please. I believe Nan Nan did the wrong thing in a moment of folly. As long as we can guide her properly, she’ll definitely change for the better. Nan Nan is just a child. It’s not possible for her to have three hundred yuan. I didn’t expect Nan Nan to actually… I’m the one who’s at fault. Nan Nan has changed so much but I didn’t notice it. I should have shown more concern for Nan Nan. If I had cared more for Nan Nan, she would not have gone astray and done such a shameful thing. Mom, I’m the one at fault. You can’t blame it all on Nan Nan. Blame me if you want to. I didn’t fulfill my responsibility as the elder sister. Nan Nan, don’t worry. No matter what happens, I’ll be there for you. I’ll go with you to admit your mistake and apologize to the Zhai family. If they’re unwilling to let you off and insist on suing you till you go to jail, I… I’ll go with you!”

“Unexpectedly, the elder daughter of the Qiao family is such a good lady?”

“I agree. Clearly, the younger daughter is the one at fault, but the elder one is willing to accompany her to go to jail. Such an elder sister is hard to come by.”

“That being said, the thief is Qiao Nan. You can’t possibly let Qiao Zijin be jailed as well. Do the regulations in the country allow this?”

“c.r.a.p. It’s certainly not allowed. Whoever committed the deed has to be responsible for it.”

Instantly, Qiao Nan’s image as an outstanding student and obedient girl collapsed terribly. It was replaced by the beautiful story of Qiao Zijin, an elder sister who continued to give support and care to Qiao Nan, her young sister, despite the latter’s wrongdoings.

Not long ago, the Qiao family lodged a police report. The scandal about Ding Jiayi, the shameless mother who took Qiao Nan’s money, had transformed into another story: Qiao Nan was, in fact, the one who was light-fingered and stole others’ money. As Ding Jiayi was suspicious, she took the money from Qiao Nan while she tried to investigate the matter. Truly, she had the loving heart of a mother and had good intentions for her child.

The exasperating thing was that Qiao Nan dared to call the police when the money she had stolen was lost. The pot called the kettle black. She was tremendously daring. Was Qiao Nan’s heart so wicked that she had become so lawless and fearless?

The most shocking and scary matter to the people in the quad was that Qiao Nan was courting for death by stealing from the Zhai family of all families.

If the Zhai family insisted that Qiao Nan take responsibility for her action, Qiao Nan would be jailed for life!

As such, within a short span of ten minutes, Qiao Nan’s previous beautiful and legendary reputation became a pile of smelly dog p.o.o.p that was despised by everyone. Anyone who saw Qiao Nan could not wait to cover their nose and take another route to avoid her. They were unwilling to come into contact with her at all.

At the sight of her plan going so smoothly, Qiao Zijin, who was squatting on the ground and hugging Ding Jiayi, could not help burying her head in Ding Jiayi’s shoulders.

It appeared that Qiao Zijin was too saddened by Qiao Nan’s self-abandoning behavior. She was crying uncontrollably as if she was in so much pain that she had to bury her face in Ding Jiayi’s shoulders.

Ding Jiayi was the only one who knew that Qiao Zijin was, in fact, laughing, not crying.

The plan went very smoothly. The entire blame of having offended the Zhai family had been pushed to Qiao Nan. Most importantly, the poor reputations of Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin for the year were finally gone.

Qiao Zijin could not help laughing as she felt elated. She had to bury her face in Ding Jiayi’s shoulders to prevent others from seeing her laugh.

At this juncture, Ding Jiayi could clearly feel that the sound of Qiao Zijin’s breathing was different. Her breathing was due to laughter, not a sad cry. Ding Jiayi knew that very well.
