Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

That being said, Qiao Dongliang, who had already failed to communicate with Qiao Zijin once today, didn’t expect to be able to say things clearly to Ding Jiayi to make her understand.

However, before doing certain things, some words had to be said. If there wasn’t any explanation, everything would be unclear. “Let’s go out and talk.”

Qiao Zijin felt that the atmosphere was strange. She wasn’t sure if she would be able to help Ding Jiayi if she was around. As such, Qiao Zijin hurriedly said, “Dad, Mom, I suddenly feel a little sleepy. Go ahead if you need to talk. I’ll return to my room to rest first.” Anyway, even though she didn’t linger here, she would still be able to listen to their conversation as long as the door was left open with a small gap.

She believed that not too long later, once her parents raised their voices, she could hear clearly the contents of their conversation.

Qiao Dongliang shook his head. “There’s no need to. You’re already forty-three years old. There isn’t anything in this house that you can’t listen to. Instead of trying to figure out how to listen to our conversation, it’s better that you just sit here.”

Every time he talked to Ding Jiayi, Qiao Zijin deliberately left the door open with a small gap. Qiao Dongliang might not have thought about this if it only happened once or twice. However, if it happened too many times, how could Qiao Dongliang not know at all?

Upon thinking that his daughter had so many tricks up her sleeves against him, her father, there was nothing else Qiao Dongliang could do except to admit his failure. “Just listen to what we say. There’s no need for you to express your opinions, just like before. Your mom and I are elders, after all. It’s not your turn to take care of us yet.”

He allowed Zijin to stay only as an observer. It didn’t mean that she could change from an observer to a participant.

Qiao Zijin pouted. She felt that her father’s attitude was pretty hurtful. She’d rather return to her room and eavesdrop than listen to them so openly. Not only did this treatment fail to prove her status and treatment in this family, but it even made her feel like she was looked down upon. He allowed her to listen but not care. Wasn’t this bullying her?

“Sure!” Ding Jiayi slammed the table hard. “I was still thinking to save you some face in front of Zijin. Since you don’t want face, I won’t stop you either. I’ll ask everything directly. You just have to answer me honestly and clearly. Let me ask you. Ever since Qiao Nan left this house, did she give this family two thousand yuan monthly? Did you keep all of this money and not tell me before? Even when you were hospitalized, you didn’t take this money out or intend to tell me about this money. You even let me put Zijin in a spot and ask her for money for daily living expenses!”

After saying this long string of words, Ding Jiayi’s face turned purplish-red.

When she was in court, she accused Qiao Nan of living to forty years old but being no better than a three-year-old child as she didn’t support her parents. Not only was her behavior not worthy as a child, but she was also obviously not qualified as a person as she went to enjoy blessings by herself and ignored her parents.

Ding Jiayi really didn’t like her daughter, Qiao Nan. She also hated Qiao Nan later for no longer being under her control, causing her to lose face and Qiao Zijin to not become a civil servant. Once these emotions came up, Ding Jiayi didn’t control herself. She scolded all kinds of ugly words until the other people in court became stunned and tongue-tied.

The lawyer Ding Jiayi hired was also stunned by Ding Jiayi’s skills of scolding Qiao Nan. When he recovered himself, Ding Jiayi had already scolded a lot of ugly words. He quickly stopped her.

The lawyer had forbidden Ding Jiayi from speaking, suggesting that she had better cooperate and shut up. It was just that Ding Jiayi had gotten so much satisfaction from scolding that she initially didn’t think of what the lawyer had told her earlier. Only when she saw that the lawyer’s face didn’t look right and he asked her to shut up did she realize the court was quiet and many people seemed to be looking at her strangely. Ding Jiayi couldn’t help but shrink her neck when she saw the way the judge was looking at her.

The judge quickly stated that Ding Jiayi should be quiet and that she was no longer allowed to curse and shout in public. If there was a second time, Ding Jiayi would be taken out from the civilized courtroom.

In order to win the lawsuit, Ding Jiayi closed her mouth under everyone’s warning looks.

When the plaintiff’s side was over, the lawyer representing Qiao Nan didn’t have much to say. He only presented a statement of bank transfer records to the judge and jurors. “All parents would want the best for their children. I have parents as well, and my parents are like that. If it’s possible, I wish for all parents to be like that as well. It’s a pity that the truth tells us that there are all kinds of people in this world. Even if some of them became parents, they cannot be that kind of parents.”

“These bank transfer records prove that even though such a family treated my client badly in every way, didn’t give my client the warmth, help, and support a family should be giving, and made the term ‘home’ to be cold and hell-like for my client, my client still adhered to filial piety and fulfilled her responsibility and obligation as a daughter. She had never shirked her responsibility. As such, my client does not and will not admit what the plaintiff mentioned before. I hope that the judge will give the justest decision.”

Two thousand yuan was transferred to the Qiao family monthly. Even though this amount indeed wasn’t particularly a lot, it couldn’t be considered little either. No less than two thousand yuan was transferred every month without fail. His client was still sued for not supporting the elderly and ignoring their life and death? Sorry, but his client would not bear this and become a scapegoat.

With these bank transfer records, the lawyer representing Qiao Nan felt that this lawsuit was too easy to win. This wasn’t fabricated evidence. No matter what reason, he felt that his client had already done her duty and no one could pick her fault.

Seeing Ding Jiayi’s hired lawyer’s face turn green, he sympathized with him. Really, in this industry, if the clients they met were smarter, they would be god-like teammates. One wasn’t afraid of god-like opponents but lousy teammates. He had never seen lousy teammates before. However, after seeing his client’s birth mother, he realized that that was how lousy teammates looked like.

That round of scolding had already reduced the opponent’s odds of winning by one-third.. Now, he produced evidence of his client fulfilling her basic responsibilities and obligations as a daughter after being betrayed, bullied, and oppressed by the Qiao family.
