Chapter 1033 - A Misunderstanding Due to Overthinking (1/2)

Qiao Nan covered the receiver and walked outside calmly, looking for somewhere isolated before she said coldly to the phone, “You should know very well about Qiao Zijin’s incident. I have already warned you that day at home.”

“H-how dare you!”

“Why not! You kept bullying me. If I don’t retaliate, won’t I be doing an injustice to myself?” Qiao Nan sneered. It turned out that her mother thought that she was merely threatening her and would not really do it.

Ding Jiayi gripped the phone tightly. She had to resist the urge to smash the phone.

She paid a certain amount of money to get the phone. If she smashed it, she would have to spend money to get another phone. “How can you be so evil? Zijin is your sister!”

“I don’t wish to be your daughter. Mom, you should know that certain traits are hereditary. At least, this proves that my sister, you, and I are related by blood.” This was the pot calling the kettle black. She was no better than her.

“If you are angry at me, you can come at me. Your sister is innocent!”

Qiao Nan smiled angrily, looking upward in exasperation. “Innocent? Do you think I will believe you? It seems that I have not made myself clear that day. I knew very well why you came looking for me. Even though you refuse to admit, it doesn’t mean that I will believe you. Since she dared to use you against me, she should be prepared to bear the consequences. I have said long ago that whatever you do to me, I will make her suffer twice. Direct my anger at you? I am not foolish. I will do whatever that hurts you the most.”

“You!” Back then, Ding Jiayi could not make Qiao Nan listen to her. Right now, all the more she could not control Qiao Nan. “What exactly do you want?”

Ding Jiayi was not afraid that Qiao Nan would direct her anger at her.

But Ding Jiayi was worried that Qiao Nan would retaliate against Qiao Zijin. It would be beyond her ability to help her then. Her heart ached that Qiao Zijin had to go through those sufferings.

“Nothing but to leave me alone. Don’t show up in front of me and don’t bother me. Also, stop scheming against me. We are unlike other mothers and daughters. If you are worried about your precious daughter, tell Qiao Zijin not to go overboard and stop trying to meddle with other people’s affairs.”

As long as they did not provoke her, she would not be bothered with them.

“I gave birth to you. I am your mother. Now that you are Cinderella, you want to abandon your mother who is poor and hard up? Aren’t you afraid that the Zhai family will know about it and be doubtful about you? Aren’t you afraid that other people will find out that you abandon your mom and say that you are unfilial? Do you think that you are good enough for Zhai Sheng and will not shame the Zhai family?” No one in this world could abandon their mother and be so brazen about it!

Qiao Nan leaned against the wall, curling the corners of her lips. “I only said that both of you are not to show up in front of me or provoke me. Rest a.s.sured. Regardless of whether you spent any money or effort on me for the past years, once I graduate and earn money, I will do my part to provide for you. I have never thought of s.h.i.+rking responsibility. Let me reiterate. The money that I give you will be subjective to the economic situation in the country.”

She would only give her the amount of money that was needed for her daily expenses. She would not give her any more than that.

Qiao Nan was about to hang up the phone.

“Wait a minute!”

“Is there anything else?”

“Your dad is no longer young. Doesn’t he find it shameful to marry again? We have been married for so long. Tell your dad not to be reckless!”

“Hehehe.” Qiao Nan smiled dryly. “I remember that you mentioned stepmother just now. I agree that a few stepmothers are good, but the problem is biological mothers may not be good as well. Even if the probability of having a good mother is high, I must be very unlucky to have a mother who is worse than a stepmother.”

Qiao Nan ignored Ding Jiayi and hung the phone on her.

Qiao Nan went back to the library to do her reading with a cold look on her face. Five minutes had pa.s.sed and she was still on the same page.
