Chapter 2236: Couldn’t There Be Peace?
However, when Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi sat next to him and kept glancing over at the triplets’ faces, Qiao Dongliang felt particularly uncomfortable.
Ding Jiayi was the triplets’ grandmother and Qiao Zijin was their aunt. However, their thoughts were impure and they wanted too much. They didn’t do anything good before. They could not even recognize Qiao Nan, their daughter or sister. Would they care about the children?
If not for Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi being too pretentious, they could just look at the triplets openly if they were curious. Why did they have to be so sneaky?
Being affected by the things that happened before, it seemed that Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi wouldn’t be able to reconcile with Qiao Nan. As such, Qiao Dongliang dared not bet that Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi could have a good relationship with the triplets. How could they be on bad terms with Qiao Nan but like the three children?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDifferent from Qiao Nan, Qiao Dongliang always wanted to try if their family of four could return to the way it was before. It was just that when the same situation and same problem happened to the triplets, Qiao Dongliang shook his head. There wasn’t a need for everyone to get too close. It was better to maintain a distance.
After Qiao Dongliang switched off the video, Qiao Zijin pouted. How petty. Didn’t she just take a look at them? Did he have to be so nervous? There wasn’t much to see either. When her Feng Feng was young, he was much cuter than the three children. As she thought about this, Qiao Zijin focused on the TV and expressed that she really didn’t care about it.
If not for Qiao Dongliang doing a video call next to her, she wouldn’t have been affected and turned her head to take a look.
Ding Jiayi looked a little depressed. “Those three children are born to Qiao Nan?” Ding Jiayi really wanted a son. She tried so hard to give birth to two children, but who knew that both were daughters? Ding Jiayi always thought that if she had given birth to a son, so be it that Qiao Zijin wasn’t filial to her. If Qiao Nan was a son, everything would become more perfect.
Her son would be as clever as Qiao Nan. Her son would know how to make money like Qiao Nan. Her son would be filial toward her like Qiao Nan. Was there a life better than this?
If Qiao Nan were a son, she would have long married Qiao Zijin off and so many things wouldn’t have happened afterward. After getting married, everything related to Qiao Zijin, no matter good or bad, would be related to her in-laws. She wouldn’t have much to do with her. It was like how after she was married to Qiao Dongliang, she didn’t keep in contact with the Ding family anymore.
Everything, be it good or bad, was her matter alone. It had nothing to do with the Ding family.
She wanted to give birth to a son but didn’t manage to. Qiao Nan gave birth to three children at one go and two of them were sons. Upon thinking that the triplets were fair-skinned and chubby, Ding Jiayi felt happy in her heart. Once she saw their faces, she knew that the Zhai family had treated them as their treasures and couldn’t bear for them to suffer any grievances or harm.
Ding Jiayi expressed that if these three children were her grandsons or sons, she would also dote on them a lot. It was a pity that they were neither but her maternal grandsons. With the word ‘maternal’, even if they were males, they became invaluable.
“Yes, Nan Nan gave birth to them with difficulty.” Qiao Dongliang nodded. As he said this, his eyes changed and he glanced at Qiao Zijin. Upon thinking that it was the last day of the year today and that tomorrow would be the start of the new year, he didn’t want to mention things that could make people angry on such a festive day, ruining a good year. “Oh, right. After the new year, I would like to ask the both of you something. Seeing that there’s still time now, you’d better think of how you would like to answer me then.” action
Qiao Nan didn’t mention this explicitly but had hinted to Qiao Dongliang why Qiao Zijin insisted on coming over to the capital then.
Leave aside Chen Jun’s matters. But when such a situation happened to Zhai Sheng again, not only did Qiao Nan feel disgusted, but she made it clear that this was intolerable. No matter what excuses Qiao Zijin made in the future, she didn’t need to think about entering the Zhai family’s door. As for her, Qiao Zijin had never regarded her as a sister. As such, it was really best if everyone kept a distance and not met one another anymore.
Qiao Nan mentioned it vaguely but Qiao Dongliang was confused. After all, Qiao Dongliang was someone with proper worldviews. He never would have thought about certain possibilities and naturally didn’t push Qiao Zijin’s behavior toward that direction.
Everyone was happily celebrating the new year. However, after the celebration was over, old scores that should be settled had to be mentioned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmQiao Zijin’s face changed and her lips formed a straight line. She knew that Qiao Dongliang’s words were mainly directed at her. However, if Qiao Nan didn’t explicitly tell her dad what the situation was, as long as she didn’t admit to it, her dad couldn’t do anything to her. However, the most important thing was that her mom shouldn’t betray her.
She didn’t want her mom to not even think about it and just explain the situation clearly when her dad asked.
As if sensing that the father-daughter pair would sweep their gaze over her, Ding Jiayi straightened her back. She stared fixedly at the TV and dared not let her eyes wander.
Upon mentioning the troubles Qiao Dongliang encountered when he last went to the capital, Ding Jiayi felt guilty. When Qiao Dongliang returned, he didn’t ask much. Ding Jiayi initially thought that this matter was over. She wanted Qiao Zijin to take care of herself in the future so that she could lead a peaceful life with Qiao Dongliang. She didn’t expect Qiao Dongliang to insist on settling old scores. She also wasn’t sure how the relationship of their family of three would be like in the future.
Sigh. Did they really have to continue kicking up a fuss? Couldn’t there be peace?
Ding Jiayi didn’t understand. Other families led their lives. They did too. Why was it that theirs were so exciting whereas hers was so frightening? If she didn’t know that she had never violated the law, based on this uneasy feeling, Ding Jiayi would have suspected that she was an absconding criminal.
No matter how the Qiao family spent the new year, the Zhai family felt very satisfied and couldn’t feel more blessed.
The grandchildren whom Miao Jing and Zhai Yaohui wished for were all there. Although they were triplets, they looked clever and didn’t seem to have major problems. When someone else’s multiple births were born prematurely, they would often go to the hospital if they didn’t grow well. However, the triplets from the Zhai family didn’t.
Upon thinking about the Zhai family’s personalities, many people had to admit that these three children were surnamed Zhai indeed.
