“Mom, the matter has been clarified. You can pa.s.s the key back to Nan Nan.” Zhai Hua looked at Miao Jing pleadingly. This was truly her dearest mother. Nothing could escape her eyes.

“Since this is the case… You’re Qiao Nan, right? You can continue to keep the key. If there’s a need, you can still come to our house to study.” Miao Jing seemingly agreed to pa.s.s the key to Qiao Nan, but she gave Zhai Hua a look of warning, hinting that she would have a private talk with her later.

If Zhai Hua could not give her a satisfactory explanation, she would deal with her accordingly!

Qiao Nan, who was frozen to the bones as if she was in an ice house, only began to feel some warmth like an autumn tiger when she had the key in her hands again.

“You… you all… did you all make a mistake?” Qiao Zijin’s face looked pale at one moment and red on another. She could not believe that Qiao Nan had such connections with the most powerful family, the Zhai family, in the quad. Furthermore, she was able to obtain a key from the offspring of the Zhai family.

That was such a great honor!

In other words, if Qiao Nan encountered any problems in the future, judging by the relations.h.i.+p, the Zhai family would definitely help her.

The Zhai family had a chief of the army, which was a very senior government post in China. If her family could be good friends with the Zhai family, there was nothing for her to be worried about or fearful of anymore. She could effortlessly find a rich and powerful man among those who would be queuing to marry her.

When the time came, she would be the one choosing her partner and not the other way round!

Wasn’t this the kind of a.s.surance that Qiao Zijin had long been yearning and working hard for?

However, the Lee family ignored her. The Zhu family was not within her reach. Why was it that Qiao Nan could have the best of everything? It was so unfair!

Now, it was not only the Lee family and the Zhu family that Qiao Nan had close connections with but also the Zhai family, the most powerful family in the quad.

Qiao Zijin could clearly imagine how quick the news of the relations.h.i.+p between Qiao Nan and the Zhai family would be spread in the quad. When the time came, Qiao Nan would be highly regarded, gaining the attention and praise of many without the need for her to do anything!

“I handed the key to Nan Nan personally. Do you think I will get this wrong? You’re so strange. Aren’t you Nan Nan’s biological sister? You know now that this is a misunderstanding. Nan Nan did not steal the key, and neither did she steal anything else. She has a morally upright character. Instead of being happy for her, you seem very disappointed that she did not do anything wrong!”

Zhai Hua narrowed her eyes and spoke in an unhappy tone.

“That’s right. It’s just a misunderstanding. It’s good that this matter has been clarified. Nan Nan, this child. Why didn’t you explain this earlier?” Mrs. Ma walked over to Nan Nan’s side. But at the thought of Ding Jiayi’s behavior, she did not continue to question Nan Nan. “I’ve mentioned before that Nan Nan is such a good child. How can it be possible for her to do such a shameful thing? It must be a misunderstanding.”

“That’s right, we watched Nan Nan grow up. How can we not know her temperament? Don’t be a busybody and spread false rumors. Nan Nan is such a good kid.”

With lightning speed, the three women who spoke the loudest earlier changed their stance. They immediately reprimanded those who joined the commotion and emphasized repeatedly that they already knew and said that Nan Nan was a good child. They were full of hindsight.

Mrs. Ma, particularly, stood beside Qiao Nan and intimately wrapped one of her arms on Qiao Nan’s shoulder, as if she was protecting Qiao Nan. It was as though she was Qiao Nan’s biological mother and Ding Jiayi was the outsider who kicked up such a shameful fuss.
