Chapter 238: Whose Key Was That?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Don’t worry. As long as someone in Ping Cheng remembers that Qiao Nan, me, is a thief. There will always be someone who remembers what kind of sister you, Qiao Zijin, are and the kind of mother we have!”

She would like to find out whether Qiao Zijin’s tarnished reputation would still grant the latter her wish to marry into a rich and powerful family like she did in her previous life and lead an easy life as a wealthy man’s wife with everything provided for her!

Qiao Zijin’s face turned pale. She was so scared that she gasped a mouth of cold air. What Qiao Nan was saying was that she would drag her reputation down along with hers so that she would also not have a good life in the future.

Qiao Nan’s thievery was not a glorious matter. It was very shameful. However, Ding Jiayi, despite suspecting that Qiao Nan had stolen money, stole Qiao Nan’s money and bought new clothes for Qiao Zijin. Was this considered a dog-eat-dog situation?

Even if Ding Jiayi gave a hundred reasons to justify her actions, no one would believe her.

Her biological mother’s and sister’s reputations had been damaged. It was only at this moment that Qiao Zijin realized that two out of her four family members were deemed as light-fingered thieves with immoral characters. In the future, if others knew about her family situation, what kind of impression would they have of her?

Although she had successfully ruined Qiao Nan’s reputation, at the same time, she seemed to have dragged her own future down!

Qiao Zijin’s face turned pale upon realizing the gravity of the matter. At the sight of this, Qiao Nan smiled revengefully. They were bounded together for good or ill. Qiao Zijin was already a high school student, but she actually didn’t understand this. It was ridiculous!

Great. Although her life was ruined, Qiao Zijin could also forget about leading a good life. They would perish together!

Qiao Zijin, who finally understood, fully regretted her actions. However, as it was, it would be too late to change her stance.

Qiao Zijin s.h.i.+vered. She felt as if she was in h.e.l.l, in desperation and despair.

“Hey, what’s happening? Is the back door of our house so popular?” Zhai Hua, who had been watching the ‘good show’ for some time, slowly sauntered over as she yawned. “Nan Nan, you’re here. Did you come to read books again?”

“?” Miao Jing, who had wanted to ask Zhai Hua if she had been sleeping and awakened by the noise, was stunned when she heard Zhai Hua greeting Qiao Nan in such a friendly tone. “Hua Hua, do you know Qiao Nan?”

“Yes, I do.” Zhai Hua nodded her head, then she walked over to Qiao Nan and held the latter’s arm.

The members of the Zhai family were mostly tall. Although Zhai Hua was a lady, she was about 1.7 meters’ tall. Qiao Nan was only 1.6 meters’ tall. Hence, it was quite funny when the two of them stood together. “Mom, Nan Nan is my sister.”

Qiao Nan, who was hugged in the arms of Zhai Hua, turned stiff. Then, she asked hesitatingly, “Sister Zhai Hua?”

How did Sister Zhai Hua know her? Did Brother Zhai mention to her?

Zhai Hua rubbed Qiao Nan’s head. She discovered that Qiao Nan’s hair felt great to the touch as it was silky and soft. It was more wonderful than touching the soft toy from America that someone gave to her. “What’s wrong? We’ve not seen each other for more than a month and you don’t recognize this sister anymore? I even pa.s.sed you the key to my back door to lend you a place to study. Fortunately, you’re capable. I heard that you are the top scorer in the middle school examination. You didn’t make me lose my face. Lending you a place was the right choice.”
