In that case, Qiao Zijin could maintain her state of ‘only in but not out’. She would be leading a better life, and the money in her pockets would be increasing as well.

Indeed, Qiao Zijin would think about how to make her own life better and more relaxed. No wonder Old Qiao used to lecture her that a child like Qiao Zijin didn’t need them, her parents, to worry about her. She could live well on her own.

Ding Jiayi didn’t pick up Qiao Zijin’s call. After reading Qiao Zijin’s messages, Ding Jiayi immediately deleted them. From the start to the end, she always maintained an ignoring attitude.

“…” Seeing that Ding Jiayi didn’t react to her after a long time, Qiao Zijin, who was in a medical gown, became more temperamental and her looks turned ugly. This caused her ward mate to call a doctor over for her to see if her cold was recurring.

“Ignoring me. She dared to ignore me. Is she seeking death?” The ‘death’ Qiao Zijin was talking about wasn’t an exaggeration but a fact. Qiao Zijin had taken all of Ding Jiayi’s money. Although Ding Jiayi didn’t need to pay rent for the house, she had to spend money on her meals, right?

Qiao Zijin knew very clearly what her rented house contained.

Qiao Zijin didn’t like to cook, especially if the place she rented was so small that there was only room for sleeping. Qiao Zijin couldn’t accept carving out a small corner to serve as a kitchen. As such, she often bought most of her meals.

If she decided to be more luxurious, she would order takeaway. If she felt that she should save a little, she would buy a steamed bun. Anyway, it cost only two or three yuan.

After Qiao Zijin was admitted into the hospital, there was naturally no food in the house. If Ding Jiayi was hungry in the rented house, there would, at most, be only one pack of instant noodles left. The problem was that since Ding Jiayi arrived in the capital yesterday, three meals had already passed.

Ding Jiayi dared to act in a fit of pique and not contact her. If she continued to be hungry for a few more meals, she probably wouldn’t even have the energy to find her to admit her mistake. She didn’t want her to faint from hunger in her rented house, causing her to have to wait on her mom instead.

After losing her temper, Qiao Zijin could only continue calling her. The food in the hospital was both expensive and unpalatable. Even if she wanted to order takeaways, the hospital didn’t allow them to be delivered to her ward. She couldn’t go downstairs and pick up the delivery herself. If she wanted to eat something good, she had to rely on her biological mother, Ding Jiayi. It wasn’t that she couldn’t settle the discharge procedures on her own. She was just lazy. As long as Ding Jiayi came over, not only would she be able to help her buy food, but she could also leave the hospital in a relaxed manner.

“Pick up the call…”

Qiao Zijin gritted her teeth when the call still didn’t get through. She could only continue to send Ding Jiayi short messages. “Mom, don’t make me angry. You know I’m not good-tempered. Don’t make me anxious. This won’t be good for the both of us. We are mother and daughter. If there’s anything, we should discuss it together. If there’s any misunderstanding, we should communicate too. If you ignore me, we will only have more conflicts and the conflicts will become deeper. Mom, you don’t want something to happen until we both can’t salvage the situation, right?”

When it came to Ding Jiayi, Qiao Zijin was too used to being bold and righteous. Even if she needed help from Ding Jiayi, her words weren’t polite at all. The meaning of threat was already very obvious.

In the past, this tactic might still work on Ding Jiayi or Ding Jiayi might have been frightened by Qiao Zijin. However, Ding Jiayi was very insistent this time and wasn’t affected by Qiao Zijin’s messages.

Just when Qiao Zijin was about to flare up, Ding Jiayi, who had been thinking for a long time, finally decided to send Qiao Zijin a short message. Not only did this message not make Qiao Zijin feel better, but it even made her angrier. “Qiao Zijin, you don’t have to wait for me. If you want to be discharged from the hospital, do the procedures yourself. If you’re really hungry, make do with the hospital food. I’ll return first.”

Once Qiao Zijin saw the last sentence of Ding Jiayi’s message, she became furious, let alone the contents in front. Returned? Where to? Her mom’s identity card was still in her pocket. Moreover, her mom didn’t have a single cent on her. Where could her mom go?

Impossible!

Qiao Zijin sent another short message. “Who are you? You’re not my mom. My mom is the owner of this phone. No matter how you managed to get this phone, it’s best to get in touch with me so that I can find my mom back. Otherwise, you’re in deep trouble. Do you know who my brother-in-law is? He’s the chief!”

Qiao Zijin felt that since Ding Jiayi had no money and identity card, she couldn’t go anywhere. It was strict in the capital. Without an identity card, she wouldn’t be able to board the train. From how her dad wanted to come to the capital last year, one knew that since Ping Cheng was so strict, it was impossible that the capital would be less strict than Ping Cheng.

Upon seeing Qiao Zijin’s message, Ding Jiayi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Then, a revenge-like pleasure emerged in her heart. So, she didn’t believe that it was her in person and that she had sold her phone, huh?

In order to clarify Qiao Zijin’s doubts, Ding Jiayi stopped sending messages and called her.

“Hello, let me tell you—”

“It’s me.” Upon knowing that Qiao Zijin really misunderstood about the phone, Ding Jiayi hurriedly stated her identity so that she wouldn’t say anything to make her angry.

“Mom, it’s really you? Did you lend your phone to someone else just now? Forget it. Now’s not the time to talk about this. Mom, look at what time it is now. I’m hungry. Prepare some food and send it to the hospital. I also want to be discharged. Anyway, I’m no longer running a fever. It’s a waste of money if I continue staying in the hospital.”

Qiao Zijin was psychologically scarred about staying in hospitals due to the previous time when she had uremia. She always felt that if she stayed in the hospital for a day longer, she would have to spend a lot less money on herself in the future. Otherwise, her one million yuan would only be enough for her to be seriously ill twice or thrice and stay in the hospital twice or thrice.

Things got out of hand yesterday. After Ding Jiayi left, Qiao Zijin didn’t feel regretful at all. All along, she only had one set of tactics to deal with Ding Jiayi, which was to coax her. They were never harsh to each other before.

Qiao Zijin knew how useful the trick of coaxing was when dealing with Ding Jiayi. Qiao Zijin didn’t know how Ding Jiayi would react if she changed her style and used hard tactics. After a night, Qiao Zijin’s tone softened. Her tone and attitude when speaking to Ding Jiayi returned to how it was before.

“There’s no rush.”
