Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1157 - Prepare to Go Home

1157 Prepare to Go Home

Qiao Nan had become a Cinderella and her life was becoming better. Why would she be willing to bother about poor relatives like her? She would definitely avoid them as much as possible.

Of course, she would do that too if she was Qiao Nan. She would be fearful that her hopeless and incompetent maternal family would drag her down.

It was with much difficulty that they found this chance. She was not pleased that Chen Jun had wasted it.

“Do you still want to borrow Qiao Nan’s glory and receive help from the Zhai family? Qiao Nan is not so easy to talk to. Anything related to Qiao Nan, don’t expect to settle it ‘next time’. If this matter is not successful eventually, don’t blame it on me. I won’t take the blame.”

He wanted her to fake a cry in front of Qiao Nan, but she had never done such an embarrassing thing in her life.

Qiao Zijin did not perform well at all on the grounds today. She really could not bring herself to cry.

She was not an actress. How could she cry so easily? Chen Jun was making things difficult for her with this request.

Chen Jun took a deep breath. “We can’t rush in this matter. You should have heard the saying ‘more haste, less speed’ before. If it is so easy to appease Qiao Nan...” Would he and Qiao Zijin be in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship today?

In the past, if his ploy of ‘the hero saving the beauty’ had succeeded according to plan, he would not need to work so hard now. Wang Yang would have asked the Wang family to make arrangements for his father. His father would not have been demoted and kicked to a small town. Until now, he could not return to Ping Cheng.

“Qiao Nan is not someone who will yield easily.”

His plan had failed in the past. Now, Qiao Nan definitely would not change her mind and bother about the Qiao family just because of a few words from Qiao Zijin.

The relationship between Qiao Nan and the Qiao family seemed to be coming to a standstill, one that could not be changed.

Previously, he allowed Qiao Zijin to be his girlfriend all because of Qiao Nan.

If Qiao Nan, this target, could not be achieved forever, was there still a need for him to continue his relationship with Qiao Zijin?

Undoubtedly, without Qiao Nan, this layer of glow, given Qiao Zijin’s personal qualities and capability, he would not pay special attention to her. He would also not request his parents to agree to let him marry Qiao Zijin.

Chen Jun was also worried that he would gain nothing eventually. After marrying Qiao Zijin, he might not derive any benefit. On the other hand, Qiao Zijin might attract trouble for the Chen family because of her family background and incapability.

Chen Jun really could not help looking down on Qiao Zijin.

If he had a younger sister like Qiao Nan, he dared to guarantee that his relationship with Qiao Nan would definitely be so good such that Qiao Nan would try all ways and means to give him many benefits and ensure his bright future. This was even so if he did not open his mouth to ask for it.

Others were troubled that they did not have the resources. However, Qiao Zijin wasted the best resources.

Qiao Zijin would never be able to understand the pain and distress in Chen Jun’s heart.

“There is no rush?” Qiao Zijin looked at Chen Jun. “Are you really sure that you are not anxious?” If Chen Jun was not anxious, she was even less anxious than him.

If it was possible, she was not willing to bow to Qiao Nan.

Regarding the words that Qiao Nan had just told her, sorry, she did not believe any of them.

There was also another thing. Qiao Nan did not say that she would not support her parents financially in the future.

Qiao Nan was still willing to support her parents financially. As such, the money that Qiao Nan gave her parents would eventually end up in her pockets. She could spend and use them as she wished.

No matter what, Qiao Nan had married well. As her sister, she would definitely benefit from it and bask in some of the glory.

“You say that there’s no hurry at Qiao Nan’s end. Since we are already in the capital, we shouldn’t waste the flight and accommodation. Let’s have fun together. You have studied for four years in college here. It shouldn’t be difficult for you to be my tour guide.” Qiao Zijin had other plans too. She knew that she did not have to act pitiful and fawn on Qiao Nan anymore. Hence, she hoped to tour the capital happily.

Chen Jun was angry and sullen. “Sure.” Although he said that there was no rush, he did not say that they could completely cast this matter aside or ignore it for the time being.

Chen Jun was again apprehensive about whether Qiao Zijin was his best option.

If the Chen family could become associated with the Zhai family, undoubtedly, they would be in great luck.

It would be troublesome if there was no hope in becoming related to the Zhai family, yet he married such a brainless and penniless woman without a good family background like Qiao Zijin. He would suffer a huge loss then.

Chen Jun had never given up his plan to make the Chen family progress and become better.

If Chen Jun could give up on the Zhai family that he could no longer pine any hopes on, Qiao Zijin would lose all her usefulness then.

A waste material that was worthless. If he did not dump it now, was he going to wait until the Lunar New Year?

When he was keeping Qiao Zijin company in touring the capital, Chen Jun started to quietly retreat from the existence of this girlfriend, Qiao Zijin.

The two of them were only dating now, yet Qiao Zijin had no reservation about spending the money of the Chen family at all. The cost of living in the capital was high. Not to mention other things, just food and entertainment alone were enough to cost Chen Jun a bomb.

Between Chen Jun and Qiao Zijin, only one party was giving but not receiving anything.

Gradually, Chen Jun’s attitude toward Qiao Zijin became distant. They had only been in the capital for five days and Chen Jun expressed that he had to return to Ping Cheng. “My dad called me today and asked me to go back. Prepare to go home.”

This was an investment that had only cost and no return. He did not wish to continue with it anymore. This was the same concept as buying shares and having your capital being locked up.

When you are trapped with plunging stocks and could not get rid of them, you would only die.

Qiao Zijin was a stock that had potential at this point. Hence, he could still get rid of it.

“What? We’re going back? We’ve only enjoyed ourselves for four days. I’ve not had enough fun. We have not gone to many nice places yet.” Qiao Zijin was reluctant.

The capital lived up to its name. It was truly different.

There were many beautiful things in the capital but they were too expensive.

When she had money next time, she would definitely buy, buy, and buy. Even if she could not buy all of the items that she fancied, she would buy at least one or two of them. She would not tempt her heart by just looking at them.

“It’s fine if you don’t want to go back now. I will go back first. You can stay here to have fun. Take your time.” Chen Jun’s attitude toward the Zhai family had changed. Naturally, his attitude toward Qiao Zijin also followed suit.

If Qiao Zijin knew what she was doing and joined forces with him to help him fulfill his wish to pull the Chen family uphill, it was fine if she was a little stupid and foolish. He could still persist and continue to guide Qiao Zijin.

However, now, Chen Jun realized that besides being stupid and foolish, Qiao Zijin was also very scheming. The worst thing was that she was not clear-minded and could not figure out the current situation.

He could tell that Qiao Zijin was quite obedient in front of him. She had never retorted his words and would definitely nod and listen to him.

The funny thing was that Qiao Zijin would change greatly and turn into a ‘master’ once she faced Qiao Nan. She felt that Qiao Nan was beneath her, that Qiao Nan was the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal, who could not escape from Wuzhi Hill of Gautama Buddha.
