1039 Take It as a Compensation for Breaking Up

“Uncle, don’t say that. Both auntie and you are parents who gave birth to and brought up Zijin. Zijin and I have to be filial to you. We won’t drop any of you.” Despite Qiao Dongliang’s attitude, the smile on Chen Jun’s face did not change or become stiff at all. He was still smiling so naturally and happily. He did not seem any less affectionate than when he saw his own father. Qiao Dongliang felt goose bumps all over immediately.

If Chen Jun were to flare up, Qiao Dongliang could still chase him away.

However, Chen Jun did not show any temper at all. He was appeasing him as if he was his own father. Qiao Dongliang really did not have a way with him.

The more Chen Jun behaved this way, the more revulsion Qiao Dongliang felt toward him.

He was a straightforward person. He liked to be direct and honest and also could not hide his temper. He disliked someone like Chen Jun who knew how to control his emotions very well.

“You really don’t need to be so polite. To be honest, Zijin was taught and brought up by her mother. I didn’t do much. If you really want to be good to Zijin or filial to the elders, treat Zijin’s mother well. When we got a divorce a few years ago, we agreed that Zijin will be under her custody and Nan Nan under mine. Zijin’s future matters do not have anything to do with me. I don’t have the right to interfere. You don’t need to feel sorry for me. I already have a son-in-law who is filial to me.”

In other words, Qiao Zijin could be her daughter, but he might not treat Chen Jun as his son-in-law.

It was not his turn to accept Chen Jun’s filial piety.

“Dad!” Tears welled up in Qiao Zijin’s eyes. She did not expect that Qiao Dongliang would not give her any face in front of Chen Jun. He even said such ugly words.

Qiao Dongliang let out a sigh of exasperation. “Zijin, you have chosen your own path. You have to decide what to do.”

He was aware that Chen Jun had wooed her younger daughter before becoming her elder daughter’s boyfriend. Qiao Zijin completely did not want to heed his advice and objections. No matter how fatherly and benevolent Qiao Dongliang was, he could not be bothered to put in any more effort in this.

Qiao Zijin was Ding Jiayi’s biological daughter. They had the same temper. They could make as much fuss as they wanted to.

A few years ago, at the time of his divorce, he had already given up the rights to intervene in the lives of this mother-daughter pair.

Qiao Zijin was losing her temper. She looked as if she was going to argue and fall out with Qiao Dongliang. At the sight of this, Chen Jun’s eyes turned sullen and he quietly gave Qiao Zijin a squeeze. “Uncle, you seem busy. Most likely, it is not convenient today. Next time... If there is a chance next time, we will chat again.”

He knew that Qiao Zijin and Qiao Nan were not on good terms. However, Chen Jun did not expect that Qiao Zijin was also on such bad terms with Qiao Dongliang.

His objective was very clear—to marry Qiao Zijin and become Zhai Sheng’s brother-in-law.

Henceforth, the Chen family and the Zhai family would become in-laws. Regardless of whether the Zhai family was willing to, the Chen family would definitely benefit greatly with this layer of connection.

If the Qiao Dongliang couple could become the mediator between Qiao Zijin and Qiao Nan, this pair of sisters, Chen Jun would stand to gain more then.

If Qiao Zijin wanted to have a good relationship with Qiao Nan, Qiao Dongliang was the only avenue for this breakthrough.

As for Ding Jiayi...

He had widened his horizons after witnessing this future mother-in-law courting trouble time and again. Chen Jun was full of regrets. In the Qiao family of four, Qiao Zijin was quite clever but he could completely manage her.

After thinking through, Ding Jiayi was the only one who gave him the most headaches. She was the only one that he shunned and was most unwilling to face.

“Chen Jun, are you angry?” When they were a hundred meters away from the house of the Qiao family, Qiao Zijin saw that Chen Jun was keeping quiet. She then realized that Chen Jun was angry and asked him.

“What do you think?” When Chen Jun said this, his tone was very indifferent. However, as soon as she heard it, Qiao Zijin was certain that he was angry.

Qiao Zijin’s expression changed. “I didn’t manage to restrain myself for a moment.”

“Even if you didn’t, you have to!” This had a lot to do with the Chen family and his future!

Chen Jun halted his steps. “I have always thought that you are smarter than your mom. I hope that you won’t let my past ‘belief’ become a joke.”

Qiao Nan was already engaged with Zhai Sheng. She would definitely become the daughter-in-law of the Zhai family in the future.

Under normal circumstances, wouldn’t any normal people let bygones be bygones and work hard to fix the relationship with Qiao Nan in order to enjoy a free ride?

Qiao Zijin’s face turned red with anger. “Didn’t you let me be your girlfriend because Qiao Nan is my sister? I am thinking. You should not be the only one in this world who wishes to become the brother-in-law of Zhai Sheng, right?”

She knew that Chen Jun actually liked Qiao Nan too.

Previously, Chen Jun wanted to woo Qiao Nan but Qiao Nan completely did not fancy him and had never been nice to Chen Jun.

Chen Jun then gave up his first choice and became her boyfriend instead. She might not have Chen Jun as the only option!

Chen Jun laughed. His laugh was so cold. “Do you know what the greatest difference between Qiao Nan and you is? You always pay lip service while Qiao Nan takes action. Do you need a breakup?”

Chen Jun was never someone who would persist on the same road that would lead to nowhere.

Otherwise, Chen Jun would be tapping on his relationship with Wang Yang most now.

In this life, Zhu Baoguo was still alive. He was also promising. However, although Wang Yang could not get everything that Zhu Baoguo had, as long as Chen Jun was by Wang Yang’s side to give Wang Yang ideas, Wang Yang would be able to receive more care from Zhu Chengqi.

If the Wang family’s status improved, they would also have to repay the Chen family for their help.

Chen Jun had been targeting Qiao Nan for a few years. He knew the situation of the Qiao family at his fingertips.

Ding Jiayi’s attitude to Qiao Nan was akin to a stone in a latrine. It was both smelly and tough.

Whether it was a daughter or son, whoever was successful and could let her lead a good life, have money and face would be a good child. Both of Ding Jiayi’s children were daughters. There was no need to compare.

Qiao Nan was better in her studies than Qiao Zijin. Her interpersonal relationships were also better than Qiao Zijin’s. She was even engaged with Zhai Sheng.

It was not just Qiao Zijin. Even Qiu Chenxi, whom Chen Jun had wanted to hit on previously, would have difficulty surpassing Qiao Nan in this life.

The situation was already as such, but instead of finding ways to mend the mother-daughter relationship with Qiao Nan, Ding Jiayi was still so foolish to keep troubling Qiao Nan for the sake of Qiao Zijin.

Toward this situation, Chen Jun felt his head aching badly.

This was because he knew that no matter what he did to gain Qiao Nan’s favor, he was afraid that Ding Jiayi would appear to drag him down.

One Ding Jiayi was not enough. Now, Qiao Zijin was also joining in the fun.

It was certainly quite difficult to find a way to climb to the top.

Chen Jun already knew that this was an extremely difficult path. There was also the existence of people who were a lion at home and a mouse abroad. Chen Jun expressed that he would, at most, return to Wang Yang’s side to help him and give up on Qiao Zijin.

Chen Jun was definitely not just giving Qiao Zijin empty threats. She was already not someone that he fancied. She had many issues and even had a bad temper. “It’s alright. Keep these things. Take it as compensation from me for breaking up with you.”
