Chapter 2488: Dad’s So Fierce (2)

Zhai Hua had suffered at the hands of her mother-in-law and was not willing for Jiajia to go down the same path. Besides, it was obvious that Qiao Zijin was much more difficult to handle than Mother Wei.

“Jiajia, don’t be upset. I didn’t agree to her demands.” Chen Feng quickly tried to coax Jiajia, knowing that she was truly incensed.

Jiajia’s anger subsided slightly. “You know the kind of person your mom is. What will you do if she insists on it? You’re quite softhearted to your mom. My auntie was finally able to get away from her because she had gotten married. Do you think you’ll be able to escape as her son?”

Given how ‘amazing’ Qiao Zijin was, Chen Feng was truly the most pitiful one as her son. This meant that whoever married Chen Feng and became Qiao Zijin’s daughter-in-law would be the second-most pitiful person.

In the past, Jiajia had simply watched on from the sidelines. But now, Jiajia couldn’t seem to control her emotions since she was about to become the second-most pitiful person.

Jiajia finally understood that it didn’t matter whether she broke up with Chen Feng now. As long as Qiao Zijin was around, Chen Feng’s marriage would definitely end in divorce no matter whom he married.

Qiao Zijin was truly a jinx. She harmed one person after another, and it was soon to be her son’s turn.

But Chen Feng had been raised by Qiao Nan, after all, and he wouldn’t be able to be vicious to Qiao Zijin. “It’s not that she can’t come to the capital. It’s true that my conditions aren’t that good, but I’ll work hard. I’d rather have it a little harder and rent a small room for my mom than let her live with us.”

After all, Chen Feng had Qiao Nan as a role model to learn from.

He had to support his parents, but he had control over how he would do that.

He would provide a roof over Qiao Zijin’s head and provide her with meals and a living allowance. That way, Qiao Zijin would live like a worm that could live comfortably without even doing anything.

He felt that he had already fulfilled his responsibilities as a son by going this far.

Truthfully, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to wage a cold war against his mother.

After all, everyone had their limits. He would soon have his own wife, and he would have to work to support his family as well as Qiao Zijin.

As such, he didn’t have any time or energy to try to right his mother’s flawed character.

To put it bluntly, educating children well was the responsibility of their parents. Teaching a wife was a husband’s duty. He had never heard of a son needing to teach his mother well.

The ones who should have educated Qiao Zijin hadn’t done so, and he still had to take care of so many other people. He couldn’t possibly take care of her too.

“Are you sure? Are you just trying to appease me by saying that you’ll rent a place for her but let her move in later?”

If Chen Feng dared to do that, Jiajia was sure that she would definitely take her children and return to her family with her children until Qiao Zijin moved out of their house.

Even if she had to go to the extent of getting a divorce, she wouldn’t give in to Qiao Zijin.

She liked Chen Feng, and Chen Feng treated her well too.

She would get married because of love and would get a divorce because of how much she valued respect and freedom. She didn’t care so much about marriage or divorce. She simply wanted the best things.

But she wondered how Qiao Zijin would respond if she caused her son to get a divorce. She probably wouldn’t even reflect on herself even then.

“No, definitely not.” Chen Feng laughed bitterly. “If I wanted my mom to do that, do you think I would have come to the capital to study or gone abroad?”

Chen Feng had chosen a faraway place just to avoid Qiao Zijin.

When he had just started to live with Qiao Zijin, Chen Feng had still been a minor and needed a guardian.

No one else in the Chen family was suitable, and Qiao Zijin naturally became the first choice.

Even though Chen Feng didn’t need Qiao Zijin’s care, neither the Chen family nor Chen Feng could change the law that required minors to have a guardian.

Because they had lived together, Chen Feng was the clearest about how he had been taking care of himself and how Qiao Zijin had never taken care of him.

To be honest, Qiao Zijin had done nothing for her son, Chen Feng, apart from giving birth to him.

No matter how much Chen Feng had yearned for motherly love in the past, that desire had all faded away in the face of a mother like Qiao Zijin.

Chen Feng had never enjoyed motherly love, and Qiao Zijin had never fulfilled her obligation as a mother. He felt that he was already going above and beyond by being willing to support her in this way.

If Qiao Zijin had any more demands than that, he wasn’t going to accede to them.

“Fine, I’ll believe you this once. But I’ve already made myself clear. I’m not joking. If you can’t do as you said, don’t blame me for being heartless.”

Jiajia had learned something from Zhai Hua, and that was to not put herself at a disadvantage.

Sometimes, that wouldn’t bring peace and happiness to the family and would only make others go overboard.

Because the young couple had finally come to a consensus, Jiajia did not break up with Chen Feng in the end.

After their favorite elder sister and brother had gotten together, some were against it, some were happy, and some were confused.

Once, San Bao asked Qiao Nan privately, “Mom, when Sister gets married to Brother, should I address him as ‘brother-in-law’ or address her as ‘sister-in-law’?”

Besides, could their elder siblings get married to each other?

Although Jiajia and Chen Feng were considered to be relatives, they didn’t have any blood relations and weren’t considered close relatives. There would be no problem for them to get married.

Such was fate.

Who would have thought that the two of them would develop feelings for each other and start dating even after Jiajia had gotten such a bad first impression of Chen Feng and had even been so nasty to him? They had never fought or gotten close to a breakup over the years.

The only conflict that they had gotten into was all due to Qiao Zijin.

It could be said that Jiajia and Chen Feng were exceptionally loving as compared to their peers who were always squabbling.

But after they had been dating for almost seven years and had been working for three, there were some topics that were inevitable.

Although Qiao Nan’s triplets were only fourteen, they had already finished their middle school examination because they had skipped grades. They had even been accepted by a top high school in the capital and were now first-year students.
