1041 Finally ‘Enlightened’
She must be blind to treat something precious as garbage.
Chen Jun was envious of the fact that Qiao Nan had such important networks. Even if he could not marry her, he would want to be on close terms with her and treat her like a younger sister so that he and the Chen family could be successful.
Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin tried all means and ways to get what they wanted, but what they needed to do was, in fact, to mend the relations.h.i.+p with Qiao Nan. If Qiao Nan was willing to help them, they could get whatever they wanted easily.
The mother and daughter were too foolis.h.!.+
Chen Jun could not help but ma.s.sage his temples. He was drained of all energy when he recalled the stupid deeds that they were up to.
Wei De, Ding Jiayi, and Qiao Zijin were fools.
He could not understand why those helpless fools had such good opportunities, while he, who worked hard all these years, had nothing in the end. It was too unfair.
“I won’t break up. I will never break up.” Qiao Zijin, who was given a scare by Chen Jun, dared not lose her temper. She grabbed Chen Jun with one arm and acted coquettishly. “Didn’t you say that I am spoiled by my mom? At times, I cannot help but lose my temper. I am serious about being with you. Please don’t shun me. I will change. Please don’t bring up breaking up with me again.”
Since Qiao Zijin admitted her mistake, Chen Jun no longer took issue with her. “Alright, but there is a limit to my patience. Apart from my feelings for you, I am with you because of the Chen family. If you are serious about being with me, you must understand one simple truth. If the Chen family is doing well, you will have good days ahead. Therefore, you must do things that are beneficial to the Chen family. On the contrary, you must not do anything that is detrimental to the Chen family. You must avoid it at all costs.”
“I understand.”
“Really?”
“Yes!” Qiao Zijin nodded and plastered a smile on her face. “You want me to mend the relations.h.i.+p with Qiao Nan. I understand what you mean. From this moment on, I will tell myself that I am on close terms with Qiao Nan, that I love my sister. In the future, even if she shows her displeasure to me, I will maintain a smile no matter what.”
Unless she was very sure of it, she would never target Qiao Nan again. “I will treat her like a princess and wait on her. One would never be angry at someone who is nice to them. If I don’t scheme against her but suck up to her, even if she is not as close to me, at the very least, she would not treat me like an enemy like what she used to do in the past.”
She would act shamelessly and suck up to Qiao Nan.
Back then, Qiao Zijin always felt that she would definitely be more successful than Qiao Nan. When she was younger, she was troubled with how she was going to make sure that Qiao Nan did not take advantage of her like a parasite.
Now that the day had come, and their situations were reversed, Qiao Zijin was so upset that she felt like vomiting blood. She was too young back then. She had been overthinking…
“Zijin, I know that I have made the correct judgment.” Chen Jun cradled Qiao Zijin’s face in his hands tenderly. “True enough, you are the woman who is qualified to stand by my side and walk the path with me.”
Chen Jun was most afraid of Qiao Zijin, having been spoiled rotten by Ding Jiayi, seeing herself as a princess. In that case, she would not be able to understand the hard facts that Qiao Nan had outshone her in all aspects and would insist on being haughty and looking down on Qiao Nan instead.
