Chapter 1227 - Continue to Put On the Ac (1/2)

Both had given birth to children. However, the outcome of Qiao Nan’s pregnancy was the complete opposite of hers.

Her man lost his career after she gave birth. On the other hand, Zhai Sheng was motivated to strive for further progress after Qiao Nan gave birth.

Without the need for Qiao Nan to speak much, Ding Jiayi’s liver was filled with anger because of this difference. Her adrenaline was madly rus.h.i.+ng and she looked like she going to bristle with rage.

“Mom, have some meat.” Before Ding Jiayi could speak any awful words, Qiao Zijin picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and placed it into Ding Jiayi’s bowl. She even held on to Ding Jiayi’s hand. “Mom, have more food. Right, didn’t you tell me last time that you’re worried about Nan Nan? She is a first-time mother and thus inexperienced and ignorant about many situations. You said that you wanted to have a good chat with Nan Nan, no? I have seen the photo in Dad’s wallet earlier. The three children are extremely good-looking. Next time, we can visit them when we have the chance.”

After Qiao Zijin tugged at her, Ding Jiayi’s anguish turned into a dud. She said with false concern, “Isn’t that so? I am just worried that my experience is outdated and not suitable for raising kids nowadays. Nan Nan, if you’re willing to, listen to my words. If you’re not, just take it that I’m singing. I am the maternal grandmother of the three children but I don’t have much money and can’t buy anything presentable for them. At the very least, I can share with you my experience as a mother. Take it that it’s the thought that counts.”

Ding Jiayi could choose whether to listen to Qiao Dongliang but she had to listen to Qiao Zijin.

After all, she was still counting on Qiao Zijin to support her financially when she was old. If she angered Qiao Zijin and her elder daughter refused to support her when she was old, she would have to become subservient to the annoying wretched girl.

Although there was only one in a million chance of this happening, Ding Jiayi also had to find ways to avoid this kind of situation.

Even if Qiao Nan was a thousand or ten thousand times more successful than Qiao Zijin and could provide her with a more comfortable life, Ding Jiayi would rather choose the useless Qiao Zijin to support her financially. Unless she had absolutely no choice, she would rather take meat from Qiao Zijin than to take birds’ nest from Qiao Nan.

There was no need to question her why. It was purely that ghost in Ding Jiayi’s heart playing tricks on her. She was obsessed.

Ding Jiayi’s cooperation made Qiao Zijin look more at ease. “Nan Nan, don’t mind Mom’s words. All of us know Mom’s temper. Compared to last time, she’s much better now. Mom was right in something. It’s the thought that counts. There’s nothing more precious than well-meaning thoughts in this world.”

Ding Jiayi’s att.i.tude toward Qiao Nan was so terrible in the past. Today, Ding Jiayi’s manner of speech and att.i.tude was not that good but it had improved tremendously.

She did not expect Qiao Nan to appreciate or gratefully accept such a change in Ding Jiayi.

At the very least, Ding Jiayi was working hard to change herself, yet Qiao Nan was still a stick in the mud, living in the past and refusing to come out of her sh.e.l.l. She continued to treat them as enemies. This was not something that Qiao Zijin wished for.

“Ha.” Qiao Nan laughed. She neither agreed nor disagreed. “Brother Zhai, I am feeling tired.”

Upon receiving Qiao Nan’s hint, Zhai Sheng looked at Qiao Dongliang. “Dad, most likely, Nan Nan has caught a little cold. I’ll bring her back to take some cold medicine first.”

The smile on Qiao Dongliang’s face faded, and his eyes were filled with hurt. “Okay, alright. Bring Nan Nan home to have a good rest then. Zhai Sheng, Nan Nan is unwell now. I can only rely on you to take good care of her.”

Zhai Sheng held on to Qiao Nan as they stood up. “Sure. Before we return to the capital tomorrow, Nan Nan and I will come to visit you again. Dad, Nan Nan and I will make a move first.” After informing the necessary, Zhai Sheng only gave a nod to Ding Jiayi, this mother-in-law, before the couple simply left.

Zhai Sheng, the one with the highest ‘alt.i.tude’ in the house, stood up and was leaving. Who would dare to stop him? Who could do so?
