Chapter 1153 - Take It That I Have Never Said This Before

1153 Take It That I Have Never Said This Before

“I’m here.” Upon hearing Qiao Nan’s voice, Qiao Dongliang suddenly felt guilty-conscious.

Qiao Nan tugged the corners of her lips, her eyes looking cold. “So, do you mean that both you and Mom are not going to work and earn money in these two months? You’re all coming to the capital for a ‘holiday’ and to spend money? Does the family have a sum of money that can cover the costs of this holiday? It’s not cheap to stay even for one night in the capital, not to mention the cost of other things. You’re coming to stay in the hotel for two months and then going home after having fun in a carefree manner. Dad, did you buy the lottery and strike three million yuan?”

“I...” Qiao Dongliang almost could not answer. “Don’t listen to your mom. Zijin is the only one who is going. Your mom and I are not going. It’s not as if you don’t know our family’s situation. How will we have so much money? I don’t have the habit of buying the lottery either. It won’t be my turn to strike it anyway. Your mom likes to talk nonsense. Don’t take her words for real or to heart.”

Qiao Dongliang did not know how to answer the question. If he did not do it in this way...

If he had a choice, Qiao Dongliang could not wait to hang up the phone immediately.

All the neighbors in the quad had seen the shrewish behavior of Ding Jiayi.

He was still a reasonable and civilized person. He would not be as thick-skinned and shameless as Ding Jiayi to do such embarrassing stuff.

“What? Don’t take my words to heart? She must take my word to heart!” Ding Jiayi could not help flaring up and kicking up a fuss.

As soon as Qiao Nan left Ping Cheng, Qiao Dongliang moved back to the small courtyard of the Qiao family and lived together with Ding Jiayi.

Despite that, two of them had not slept in the same room. They also did not do the most intimate thing between a couple.

The problem was that Ding Jiayi’s confidence came back after this period of six months.

When he heard that Qiao Dongliang dared not speak to Qiao Nan according to her wish, she was so furious that she snatched over the phone. “Qiao Nan, listen properly. Don’t think that I can’t control you anymore after you are married and went to the capital. Don’t forget that your dad and I gave birth to you. You have to support us financially in this whole lifetime and obey our words. I will give you a bank account number. Quickly transfer 10,000 yuan to it. You have married into a good family. Your dad and I are already so old. Shouldn’t you let us enjoy life? As a human, you need to have a conscience!”

“If you really have so much conscience, Mom, why haven’t I seen my maternal grandmother before? Your life in the past was not bad either. Why didn’t I see you fetching my maternal grandmother over and be filial to her? Mom, you’re also someone who has a mother. Why don’t you set an example for me first and I will follow accordingly?” Qiao Nan was both angry and amused by Ding Jiayi’s words.

Fortunately, Ding Jiayi had done things that were more absurd and cold-blooded. Since Ding Jiayi got married, she had severed interactions with her maternal family for more than twenty years.

Her mother did not even send a single cent back to the Ding family, let alone transfer 10,000 yuan to the maternal family for her parents to go on a holiday.

“Mom, a crooked stick will have a crooked shadow. With you as the crooked stick, don’t expect me, the shadow, to perform too well. This is not realistic. As a human, you should be more realistic.” Qiao Nan’s tone was neither hurried nor slow, yet she very firmly rejected all of Ding Jiayi’s requests.

“Dad, regardless of whether you can hear me, I will be frank in my words. First, I am already six months pregnant and my tummy is extremely big. Besides the necessary pregnancy exercises, my mother-in-law is not willing to let me step out of the door. The air in the capital is not that good. Second, it is all of your business where you want to go on holiday and have fun. Whether one person or the whole family is setting out on this trip, you can decide it for yourself. I am just a poor student. All the money for my studies is given to me by my generous in-law family. I already need my in-law family’s help to support me financially. I really don’t have the shame to ask them to support my maternal family financially too.”

Who would take leave from work to go on a two months’ holiday?

This was such a ‘heroic’ move and they still needed to take money from her pocket?

It was ludicrous!

However, no matter what, regardless of what the Qiao family said, she would not agree. This was her attitude and it would not change.

“You!” As soon as Qiao Nan disagreed, Ding Jiayi was so enraged that she nearly jumped onto the roof to settle scores with Qiao Nan. “What kind of tone is this!”

“Shut up!” Qiao Dongliang pushed Ding Jiayi’s face away with one slap. Upon hearing Qiao Nan’s words, Qiao Dongliang felt so embarrassed that he could not wait to dig a hole and bury himself in it.

It was right that children had to be good to their parents. However, this situation could not be applied to Qiao Nan.

It was not because of other reasons. It was because Qiao Nan was just a student.

Qiao Nan had to rely on others to support her financially, yet Ding Jiayi had to ask for the sky. She greedily requested Qiao Nan to buy three flight tickets and even ordered her to transfer 10,000 yuan to sponsor their holiday.

When it was the beginning of 2000, traveling was not so costly. It was not as if the family was going to an overseas country.

Hence, Ding Jiayi was extremely unreasonable to have said that.

Qiao Dongliang was easily cajoled by others but he would not be cajoled to this extent.

Next, Qiao Nan could no longer hear any complete sentence. On the other side of the phone, Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi seemed to have different opinions. They started to argue before they even hung up the phone.

Qiao Nan held her forehead in agony. She really could not understand. Her father had already divorced his mother and climbed out of this huge pit, which was her mother. How badly could he not sort out his thoughts that he had to jump back into it?

Without her mother’s influence, her father’s worldviews and values were quite upright.

As long as no one had a conflict with her father’s worldviews and values, her father seldom argued with people.

Was it because her father had led too much of a peaceful life during the past four years? Hence, he felt that there would be more passion and excitement if he were to live with her mother and argue and fight with her from time to time?

When they argued until the situation was unresolvable, Qiao Dongliang finally seemed to have realized that he had not hung up the phone. He pushed Ding Jiayi away and said to Qiao Nan while panting heavily, “Nan Nan, take it that I did not make this call today. Take care of yourself at home.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone with a bang.

Qiao Nan placed the phone back and gave a huge sigh.

The person who would have such an idea was certainly not her father.

Ding Jiayi might not have the brains to think of this either.

After Brother Zhai found someone to cut Qiao Zijin’s hair, Ding Jiayi had been quite abiding for a long time.

In that case, Qiao Zijin was the one who wanted to come to the capital for a holiday and even wanted to stay at the house of the Zhai family so that she could take care of her?

Qiao Nan rubbed her temple. She did not say a word. She also did not tell the Zhai family about this and quietly hid this matter.

Anyway, her father had already said it. She would take it that her father had never made this call.

“Tsk...” The child in her womb seemed to have been affected by Qiao Nan. It was so angry that it formed a little fist.

Rubbing the round and tiny bun that was bulging on her tummy, Qiao Nan smiled gently. “Baby, don’t be angry. Mom is not angry anymore.”
