Ding Jiayi s.h.i.+vered badly. Did they have to go to this extent?

Seeing that Ding Jiayi still did not take the small knife, Qiao Zijin stubbornly forced it into her hands. “Mom, do you remember what I said?”

“R-Remember.” Ding Jiayi broke out in a cold sweat. She did not know if this cold sweat was for her own sake or Qiao Nan’s, who was at school.

Qiao Dongliang, who had suffered a great blow, had been in a deep slumber the whole morning. He even caught a cold. Besides going to school, Qiao Nan placed all her attention on caring for Qiao Dongliang.

It never came to the father and daughter’s minds that Qiao Zijin, who was dismissed by the school, would be crazy enough to want to drag Qiao Nan to the grave with her.

“Zijin, are you at home? It’s your family’s phone call again.”

The voice of the auntie from the small retail stall shocked the mother-daughter pair. Ding Jiayi was so frightened that she dropped the small knife which Qiao Zijin forced into her hands. Qiao Zijin picked it up and forced it into Ding Jiayi’s hands again. “Mom, it’s not suitable for you to go out now. I’ll go and answer it. Don’t be anxious. We will discuss in detail again about what you need to do after you reach Ping Cheng High School.”

It was either she did not do this at all or if she did, she had to do it successfully. She had to make Qiao Nan end up in the same plight as her: to be expelled from school!

“Okay, sure. Then, you go and answer it.” Ding Jiayi’s hands that were holding the knife s.h.i.+vered badly. At the sight of the back of Qiao Zijin, who was leaving, not knowing why, Ding Jiayi could sense a gush of coldness in her heart. Ding Jiayi quickly used her left hand to grab on her right one, which was s.h.i.+vering, to calm it down.

Didn’t Zijin say that she just needed to pretend? She was not really committing suicide. There was no need to fear.

“Zijin, what a busy day today. However, the person who called is a guy. Don’t tell auntie that you’re in love. You’re already in the second year of senior high school. It’s important to focus on your studies. Don’t be like other young ladies who start dating at a young age instead of focusing on their studies,” the auntie from the small retail stall said affectionately. She sounded a little like a busybody but concerned nonetheless.

Qiao Zijin forced a smile. “Don’t worry. I won’t be involved in any romantic relations.h.i.+p at a young age. I don’t have a boyfriend either. You said that the person who called me is a guy. Did he say who he is? I don’t even know who is calling me.”

“Oh, so that’s the case. Then, the two of you, go ahead.” The auntie sat down. She did not look at Qiao Zijin, but her ears stood up as she really wanted to know the contents of the conversation.

“h.e.l.lo, who are you?” Qiao Zijin turned her body and lowered her voice.

“You are Qiao Zijin?” True enough, the voice of a man came from the other end of the phone. The other party had a nice voice. For a moment, Qiao Zijin felt slightly better. However, the voice was unfamiliar.

Most importantly, the voice might be nice, but there was a hint of coldness in it. This made Qiao Zijin’s mood, which just turned slightly better, worsened immediately.

“You called me despite not knowing who I am? I don’t know you. Did you call the wrong number? I’m hanging up!”

“It seems that you’re really Qiao Zijin. You’re already in dire straits, yet you still want to deal with Nan Nan and drag her down with you?” Listening to Qiao Zijin’s short-tempered voice, the other party seemed to have guessed what was on Qiao Zijin’s mind instantly, as if he had the ability to read minds.

Qiao Zijin’s face turned pale. “Who are you? What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
