Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1041 - Finally ‘Enlightened’

1041 Finally ‘Enlightened’

She must be blind to treat something precious as garbage.

Chen Jun was envious of the fact that Qiao Nan had such important networks. Even if he could not marry her, he would want to be on close terms with her and treat her like a younger sister so that he and the Chen family could be successful.

Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin tried all means and ways to get what they wanted, but what they needed to do was, in fact, to mend the relationship with Qiao Nan. If Qiao Nan was willing to help them, they could get whatever they wanted easily.

The mother and daughter were too foolish!

Chen Jun could not help but massage his temples. He was drained of all energy when he recalled the stupid deeds that they were up to.

Wei De, Ding Jiayi, and Qiao Zijin were fools.

He could not understand why those helpless fools had such good opportunities, while he, who worked hard all these years, had nothing in the end. It was too unfair.

“I won’t break up. I will never break up.” Qiao Zijin, who was given a scare by Chen Jun, dared not lose her temper. She grabbed Chen Jun with one arm and acted coquettishly. “Didn’t you say that I am spoiled by my mom? At times, I cannot help but lose my temper. I am serious about being with you. Please don’t shun me. I will change. Please don’t bring up breaking up with me again.”

Since Qiao Zijin admitted her mistake, Chen Jun no longer took issue with her. “Alright, but there is a limit to my patience. Apart from my feelings for you, I am with you because of the Chen family. If you are serious about being with me, you must understand one simple truth. If the Chen family is doing well, you will have good days ahead. Therefore, you must do things that are beneficial to the Chen family. On the contrary, you must not do anything that is detrimental to the Chen family. You must avoid it at all costs.”

“I understand.”

“Really?”

“Yes!” Qiao Zijin nodded and plastered a smile on her face. “You want me to mend the relationship with Qiao Nan. I understand what you mean. From this moment on, I will tell myself that I am on close terms with Qiao Nan, that I love my sister. In the future, even if she shows her displeasure to me, I will maintain a smile no matter what.”

Unless she was very sure of it, she would never target Qiao Nan again. “I will treat her like a princess and wait on her. One would never be angry at someone who is nice to them. If I don’t scheme against her but suck up to her, even if she is not as close to me, at the very least, she would not treat me like an enemy like what she used to do in the past.”

She would act shamelessly and suck up to Qiao Nan.

Back then, Qiao Zijin always felt that she would definitely be more successful than Qiao Nan. When she was younger, she was troubled with how she was going to make sure that Qiao Nan did not take advantage of her like a parasite.

Now that the day had come, and their situations were reversed, Qiao Zijin was so upset that she felt like vomiting blood. She was too young back then. She had been overthinking...

“Zijin, I know that I have made the correct judgment.” Chen Jun cradled Qiao Zijin’s face in his hands tenderly. “True enough, you are the woman who is qualified to stand by my side and walk the path with me.”

Chen Jun was most afraid of Qiao Zijin, having been spoiled rotten by Ding Jiayi, seeing herself as a princess. In that case, she would not be able to understand the hard facts that Qiao Nan had outshone her in all aspects and would insist on being haughty and looking down on Qiao Nan instead.

If Qiao Zijin was really like Ding Jiayi, Chen Jun would not hesitate to break up with Qiao Zijin.

Chen Jun mentioned breaking up because he knew that Qiao Zijin would not bear to part with him.

He knew that Ding Jiayi was the biggest troublemaker in the Qiao family. Whoever wanted to make use of the Qiao family to be close to the Zhai family only needed to do some investigations and they would find out the situation in the Qiao family.

Because of Ding Jiayi, Qiao Zijin was like a scorching brazier. Not everyone was capable of handling her.

“Chen Jun, you can rest assured. I will definitely change.” Qiao Zijin clenched her fist, looking totally different from before.

If the former Qiao Zijin was as proud as the swan, Qiao Zijin was now like an ugly duckling. She had seen her true self in the reflection of the pond and knew that she was just an ordinary girl.

“My dad forbids me from entering the house. What am I going to do next?” Since she was not allowed entry, how was she going to be close with Qiao Nan?

“Don’t be anxious.” Chen Jun smiled. “As long as you have sorted out your thoughts and are willing to work hard, your dad is not a problem. Sometimes, other people may not be able to know the real situation. They would only have a superficial understanding of what’s going on.”

It would be best if Qiao Nan was willing to accept Qiao Zijin.

However, Chen Jun knew that telling Qiao Nan to accept Qiao Zijin without any misgivings was akin to telling Zhai Hua to reconcile with Wei De. It was impossible.

If one would not accept the other party or reconcile without any misgivings, then what they could do was to make it seem to others that they were on close terms and were one family. Chen Jun could use this false impression to his advantage.

“Do you understand what I mean?”

“Yes.” Qiao Zijin nodded. “When Qiao Nan and other people are around, I will definitely side with her and ‘protect’ her so that Qiao Nan will not be bullied by others. Qiao Nan is reserved and introverted. As her sister, I must protect her from being bullied or misunderstood.”

In other words, Qiao Zijin only needed to act as if she was being nice to Qiao Nan. There was no need for Qiao Nan to accept her.

Chen Jun was glad that Zijin understood his words. “Zijin, you are indeed smart. You can tell what I mean right away. Let’s go! We didn’t get to see your dad, but let’s meet my parents. I shall introduce their future daughter-in-law to them.”

“Really?!” Qiao Zijin was overjoyed. This was the first time that Chen Jun introduced her to her future father-in-law and mother-in-law. “Should I go back to have a change of clothes and buy some gifts for uncle and auntie?”

“No need.” Chen Jun answered with a smile. “You only need to be present and it will be fine.” Furthermore, no matter what she bought, she was spending the Chen family’s money. Nothing comes for free. Qiao Zijin was smart to make the suggestion.

“So let’s go now?” Qiao Zijin was thrilled now that there was no need to buy anything. It seemed that Chen Jun was really in love with her. “How about we give them some fruits? At the very least, we are being polite and I will not be embarrassed by arriving empty-handed.”

“Sure, we will do as you said.” Chen Jun did not object to her suggestion. He accompanied Qiao Zijin to choose a fruit basket. He bought whatever that Qiao Zijin picked.
