Chapter 1062 - If He Doesn’t Want, I Do (1/2)

This set of clothing belonging to Qiao Nan had been worn before. Of course, they could not compensate her according to the original price. Whoever did that would be a fool.

“We’ll talk about it again.” Qiao Zijin did not agree immediately. She knew in her heart that she was not the one who would call the final shots on this matter. It would depend on Chen Jun’s att.i.tude.

If she were to really bargain with Qiao Nan as per her mother’s suggestion, Chen Jun would definitely be unhappy if he knew about it.

Qiao Zijin was aware that Chen Jun wanted to curry favor with Qiao Nan and acknowledge her as his sister-in-law. She had already made a concession and decided to listen to Chen Jun. No matter what, she would stick to Qiao Nan so that others knew that they were, in fact, quite deeply bonded to each other.

Qiao Zijin was not even able to control her own behavior according to her wishes. Why would she have the right to control Chen Jun?

“You have to remember Mom’s words. Don’t let that wretched girl take advantage of you. You have to know. For some people, the richer they are, the stingier they become.” Ding Jiayi reminded again as she did not feel at ease.

“I know.” Qiao Zijin brushed her off with a few words before returning to her bedroom.

In the small courtyard of the Qiao family, the conversation between the mother-daughter pair had ended. However, the conversation between two men in the same quad had just begun. “Zhai Sheng is not back yet?” Zhu Chengqi was sizing up the living environment of the Zhai family’s residence with picky eyes.

Zhai Yaohui said nonchalantly, “Most likely, he can only come back on the night of the 30th.”

“He went to the capital to collect the marriage certificate?” Zhu Chengqi pinched his fingers and counted the time.

“Yes, coincidentally, everything is happening at the same time. I have to thank you for this matter,” Zhai Yaohui looked at Zhu Chengqi and said sincerely.

The Zhai family’s move to the capital during the coming year was also because Zhu Chengqi had done a lot to help them.

Zhu Chengqi did not need these words of grat.i.tude from Zhu Yaohui. “If you are sincere, remember to treat my G.o.ddaughter well.” Although Qiao Nan did not agree previously, Zhu Chengqi had already treated her as his daughter.

As such, when he knew his son’s thoughts and confirmed that he was not suitable for Qiao Nan, he then threw Zhu Baoguo into the camp during the summer vacation that Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng got engaged. This was in case Zhu Baoguo did anything that would embarra.s.s everyone.

Until now, Zhai Yaohui was still very shocked regarding this matter. He secretly felt bad for Zhu Baoguo. This was the latter’s biological father.

Zhu Chengqi was willing to give the Zhai family convenience and help the Zhai family all because of Qiao Nan.

Without Qiao Nan, Zhu Chengqi could not even be bothered with the matters of the Zhai family.

When the two of them were young, they were also considered opponents. Even though the two parties admired each other’s behavior and style, they did not intend to have a friendly relation.

It was also because of Qiao Nan’s appearance that the Zhu family and the Zhai family, two families that were on par with each other, had some interactions.

“I came today to formally inform the Zhai family. Don’t think that Qiao Nan only has Qiao Dongliang, her biological father, as her maternal family. I can help you because of Qiao Nan. I can also step on you like how I help you today if you shortchange Qiao Nan. Understand?” Zhu Chengqi was unruly with his words. It was obvious that this was a threat.

If Zhai Yaohui had a bad temper, given such words of Zhu Chengqi, Zhai Sheng could forget about marrying Qiao Nan. If this was not handled properly, the two families would simply become enemies.

Fortunately, Zhai Yaohui did not flare-up.

Zhai Yaohui laughed in a relaxed manner. “You really don’t need to warn me on this. That young lad of my family is very stubborn. Otherwise, I wouldn’t need to wait until today to prepare for my son’s wedding banquet.”

Zhu Chengqi’s warning was not considered a warning.
