Qiao Zijin had never been successful in the Ping Cheng quad. Now that she was in the capital alone, Qiao Zijin was even more uneasy and unsure if she would be successful this time. Qiao Nan should probably be quite fearful since she had been admitted into the hospital before reaching her eighth month of pregnancy.

When women were afraid, they would always want one or two familiar faces around to take care of them. Perhaps, she should contact Qiao Nan and let her know that she had rushed down to the capital to take care of her!

If Qiao Zijin had known that such a day would come, she would have rebuked Ding Jiayi years earlier and stood on Qiao Nan’s side instead. In that way, Qiao Nan would have had a good relationship with her. As her only sister, shouldn’t Qiao Nan take better care of her? Why would she have to spare so much effort and money trying to please her to no avail?

At the mention of this, Ding Jiayi felt rather helpless too. “You also know how your dad is. It’s too difficult. Your dad missed the bus this morning, but the moment he woke up, he rushed down to the bus station to purchase another ticket without even taking breakfast. He’s already wasted four or five hundred yuan on bus tickets alone! He doesn’t even feel bad about it.”

.

In the past, Old Qiao would have frowned upon spending such a huge sum of money at once.

Qiao Zijin lay on her bed and sneered. “Mom, are you kidding me? He took two hundred thousand yuan from me. What he’s spending now is my money, not his! Isn’t it obvious why Dad’s behaving in this way?” Since it wasn’t his money, he probably wouldn’t feel bad spending it anyway. Wasn’t it easy to understand?

“Mom, let me know how much longer you can delay Dad for.” What if…

Ding Jiayi held the phone in her other hand. “Your dad probably won’t make it for the bus tomorrow. I put some sleeping pills into his water today and took his bus ticket from him. Initially, I was planning on taking his temporary identity card too, but he probably kept it somewhere safe because he lost it previously. I didn’t manage to find it.”

“Didn’t you say that he won’t be able to make it for tomorrow’s bus? If that’s the case, try to make my dad lose his temporary identity card again. I’ve made my enquiries. It was only because Dad was in a hurry that they rushed it out for him in three days’ time. Workers in that department are pretty slow in their work. This time, it will probably take about a week for him to get a new identity card. Try to persuade my dad and you might just get his identity card in another two days. With that delay, I think I should be able to tie up the loose ends with Qiao Nan and the Zhai family.”

Qiao Zijin was not confident of settling all the matters in such a short span of time. But she would probably be able to do so in half a month’s time. She knew that that was her mom’s limit.

Ding Jiayi put up her fingers and did some mental calculations. “Alright. I’ll try my best. It’s late and you must be tired from a whole day’s journey. I won’t disturb you any further. Go to bed earlier. You must have enough energy to visit that wretched girl tomorrow. Don’t worry. I’ll try my best to keep your dad here.”

“Alright, Mom. Good night.” After hanging up the call, Qiao Zijin was so exhausted that she did not even wash up. All she did was remove her pants before squirming under her blanket.

Qiao Nan, who had Zhai Sheng by her side in the hospital, had absolutely no idea that the Qiao family, whom she hated the most, was now in the same city as her. Moreover, that person was plotting on getting close to her and snatching her husband and children!

Another night had passed and nothing had changed in Qiao Nan’s life. On the other hand, Qiao Zijin had her eyes set on the Zhai family. She was trying to see if she could ‘run into’ the Zhai family and let them know that she had specially made the trip to the capital to take care of Qiao Nan.

The Zhai family had no idea about Qiao Zijin’s ideas, but Qiao Dongliang had found out about Ding Jiayi’s. After falling for her tricks once, Qiao Dongliang was not entirely ignorant anymore.

After hearing that ticket seller’s joke, Qiao Dongliang had had some suspicions of his own. All he needed to do was to confirm them. Ding Jiayi had only seen Qiao Dongliang return after purchasing his bus tickets. What she did not know was that Qiao Dongliang had not only bought his bus tickets but also two bottles of mineral water.

It was convenient for Qiao Dongliang to boil water when he was thirsty at home. He was not so foolish or generous to waste his money on mineral water when he was already used to drinking boiled water at home. All along, Qiao Dongliang had never had such a habit, and as such, Ding Jiayi had not paid close attention to it.

Qiao Dongliang had not purchased those mineral water bottles for nothing. Of course, they were for him to quench his thirst. It was just that he had not done so in front of Ding Jiayi. Qiao Dongliang could only hope that he had overthought everything and that that person’s joke was nothing more than a joke.

But the results of his experiment the next day turned Qiao Dongliang’s face entirely black. action

In the middle of the night the previous night, Ding Jiayi had run into his room. At that time, Qiao Dongliang had originally been asleep but had been awoken by Ding Jiayi calling out for him. When he had first awoken, Qiao Dongliang had not gotten a complete sense of what was going on. All he knew was that it had been Ding Jiayi who had entered his room, not a robber or an outsider. That was why he had remained silent.

It was only when he saw Ding Jiayi looking through his wallet did Qiao Dongliang finally understand the situation. Afterward, Ding Jiayi had even tried to reach around his pillow to find his temporary identity card! Qiao Dongliang had flipped over because of that just to scare Ding Jiayi, and he had even responded when Ding Jiayi called his name.

Thankfully, Ding Jiayi did not have it in her to be a thief. Upon encountering such a situation, Ding Jiayi took it upon herself to exit the room. What Ding Jiayi did not know was that the moment she shut the door, Qiao Dongliang, who should have been asleep, was wide awake, his eyes full of resentment.

After seeing what Ding Jiayi had done, Qiao Dongliang was now unsure about whether the previous two accidents were, in fact, accidents. Although he was not a particularly careful person, he had never lost something as important as his identity card before. Why had he suddenly lost it for the very first time now that he was going to the capital to visit Nan Nan?
