Chapter 2058: Say It Clearly

Could it be that it was only right for Nan Nan to sacrifice for Zijin, regardless if she was good or bad?
“Forget it. There are some things that can’t be said clearly to you. It’s alright as long as Mom and I understand.” Qiao Zijin refused to communicate with Qiao Dongliang. She had long realized that in this family, only she and her mom had a common language and could understand each other’s words and inner thoughts.
Her dad was biased. Even if what she said was reasonable, when it reached her dad, her reasoning would only become distorted. Since she knew that this was going to be the result, why should she waste her saliva and efforts to argue with her dad? There wasn’t anything to gain from it.
“Dad, take a rest. I’ll just wait for Mom.” Once there was good news, her mom would definitely send a text message to let her know immediately. She was a fool. She had long known that her dad only had a daughter, Qiao Nan, in his heart. Wasn’t she just giving herself trouble by chatting with her dad for so long?
Qiao Dongliang was still wondering if he could help Qiao Zijin and restore her strange worldviews. Who knew that before he could complain about Qiao Zijin’s strange thoughts, the other party had already rejected communication with him and looked as if it was tiring to talk to him?
Qiao Dongliang felt like someone had dealt a strong blow to his head. Although he was sad in his heart, his lips couldn’t help but curve up, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying. “Sure. Go ahead and wait for your mom alone then.”
He was thinking for Zijin but she couldn’t even be bothered to talk to him. Living in such a house, Qiao Dongliang felt cold in his heart. He was about to lose the courage to continue living in this house. He felt timid when he saw Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin.
Qiao Zijin waited for two full hours. Qiao Zijin always thought that this was an easy lawsuit. It was the truth that Qiao Nan didn’t give the family money. Her family would definitely win without a doubt.
However, two hours had passed and she didn’t receive any text message or call. Out of eagerness, even if the signal displayed on her mobile was four full bars, she couldn’t help but take her phone to the yard and try to receive the signal. She was afraid that the signal was affected in the house and her mobile didn’t react in time.
In the end, Qiao Zijin didn’t wait for Ding Jiayi’s call or text message but Ding Jiayi herself. “Mom, you’re back?” Upon hearing the sound of a car from the door, Qiao Zijin looked out. Wasn’t the person opening the door her birth mom that she had waited two hours dearly for?
“Mom, is the lawsuit over? How was it? Did we win? How did the judge decide? How did Qiao Nan look like at that time?” Upon thinking that Qiao Nan couldn’t win against her even if she had become the wife of the chief, Qiao Zijin felt extremely proud.
There was a saying that men conquered the world while women conquered men to conquer the world. The situation between her and Qiao Nan was similar to this saying. So what if Qiao Nan was formidable and married Zhai Sheng? The glorious Qiao Nan had to listen to the words of her, the birth sister, in the end.
She was the one standing on top of Qiao Nan. She was the person at the top of the food chain.
“Where’s your dad?” At this moment, Ding Jiayi’s face didn’t reveal the slightest joy. Her long face and bloodshot eyes showed that not only was the result of the lawsuit not what she expected, but it even developed in the direction that Ding Jiayi didn’t wish for the most. “Where’s your dad? I want to talk to him. There are some things I have to talk to him about clearly.”
First, it was Qiao Nan. Now, it was Qiao Dongliang. Ding Jiayi felt like she was a balloon full of air. If there was a little more anger in her stomach, she would have exploded. No matter Qiao Nan or Qiao Dongliang, they were the ones who did the most but said the least in this family.
Qiao Nan and Qiao Dongliang, who silently sacrificed for the family, seemed to have come to a prior agreement. They refused to be controlled by Ding Jiayi and turned into traitors one after another. As such, two hardworking oxen suddenly became dogs who loved to bite but not bark. What Ding Jiayi couldn’t accept the most and felt most pained about was that these two people were mostly under her control back then. However, the first person they chose to bite was none other than herself.
Now that the situation had developed to this point, Ding Jiayi was so angry that if she didn’t lose her temper now, this father-daughter pair would really treat her as someone without temper. If she didn’t swear an oath of sovereignty now, the people surnamed Qiao would really forget who the head of the family was.
Qiao Zijin frowned. “Dad? He’s always in his room. Mom, why are you so angry? We lost the lawsuit?” It couldn’t be, right? She consulted a lot of lawyers before, and all of them said that if they were to hand this lawsuit over to any one of them, the result would only be a win.
Her mom couldn’t have found a fake lawyer, right? The fake lawyer was so ‘capable’ that he or she could turn a sure-win lawsuit into a losing lawsuit?
“I’ll talk to you later. I have to find your dad to clarify a situation first.” The reason why she would temporarily lose this lawsuit was that not only did someone not have the same mindset as her, but he even secretly hindered her. She had to understand if what Qiao Nan’s lawyer said in court was true first before deciding how to proceed with the lawsuit.
“Old Qiao, hurry up and open the door. I know you’re in the house. It’s useless to remain silent. I’m in a very bad mood now. You’d better hurry up, open the door, and make things clear to me. Otherwise, we won’t be able to continue living together!”
Men really couldn’t be pampered. If not for her willingness to marry Old Qiao back then, would Old Qiao be able to have a wife and two daughters at such a young age? The Qiao family didn’t have any relatives anymore. How would an ordinary girl be willing to marry a man like Old Qiao? She was stupid not to despise Old Qiao. She married him as he had treated her well.
She had waited on Old Qiao all her life. Now that she was old, Old Qiao didn’t give her any face. First, he gave the courtyard to that wretched girl without telling her. Then, he hit her in front of Zijin and chased her to the small single room.
Today, she was going to let Old Qiao remember that without her, he was just a lonely man. She was the one who was willing to marry Old Qiao. She was the one who gave Old Qiao a home. She was the one who gave birth to two daughters for Old Qiao. The person Old Qiao should feel most thankful and grateful to in this lifetime was her, Ding Jiayi!
Qiao Dongliang opened the door. “You’re right.. Let’s make everything clear today.”
