In this case, was it still necessary to continue kicking up a huge fuss?
It was probably better to simply cherish the life she had instead of letting her life get ruined and never being able to live in peace.
Qiao Zijin sobbed uncontrollably.
Why didn’t you tell me this when I was three? Why didn’t you tell me this before you got divorced from Dad? Why didn’t you tell me this before I got married to Zhou Zheng? What’s the use of telling me all these now? Mom, you’ve ruined my entire life. Mom, I hate you! Don’t you care about this! I won’t call you my mom anymore, and neither will I ever come to see you again! Are you happy now?

She would much rather go to jail than listen to her mom reason with her. In this world, her mom was the only person who had no right to reason with her. In her next life, she would rather be an orphan than Ding Jiayi’s daughter.
Hearing Qiao Zijin’s sobs and her accusations that came from deep within her heart, Ding Jiayi was completely stunned. She was in a trance for quite a long while and was rendered speechless.
She had been biased her whole life, left everything good for her elder daughter, and spoiled her elder daughter rotten. Even though her elder daughter’s results had not been as stellar as her younger daughter’s, she had chosen to let her younger daughter work part-time while studying just to pay for her elder daughter’s school fees. After sacrificing so much for her elder daughter, this was what she had gotten in the end? Three words of ‘I hate you’?
If it had not been for her elder daughter, there was no way her relationship with her younger daughter would have deteriorated to such a state. She had sacrificed her marriage and her younger daughter. In the end, her elder daughter still hated her guts!

After hanging up the call, Ding Jiayi hugged her knees tightly and squatted down. She wept loudly, even louder, even more helpless, and even more aggrieved than Qiao Zijin over the phone earlier.
Qiao Zijin had completely fallen out with Ding Jiayi, and Qiao Zijin had even come up with the same idea as her. In her next life, she would never want to be Ding Jiayi’s daughter. Qiao Nan knew nothing about all these. After the National Day holiday, the storm that Qiao Zijin had stirred up had calmed down drastically. Qiao Nan had successfully proven her innocence and restored her reputation.
Even after going through the worst situation, such magazine publishers were still being stubborn and insisted on reporting on what Qiao Nan had done to Qiao Zijin. Even that was still acceptable. But how about how Qiao Nan had never spent the new year with her mother in over ten years? Apart from providing for Ding Jiayi materially, Qiao Nan could not be considered to be a good daughter.
In over a decade, the mother and daughter had not met more than ten times. In fact, they had only met after Ding Jiayi moved to the capital. Qiao Nan’s three children were already in junior high school, but they had never met their maternal grandmother even once.
All these different things showed that Qiao Nan was extremely aloof toward her mother, Ding Jiayi. Could it be that it was all right to just provide for one’s parents materially with no emotional attachments in this day and age? These facts proved that what they had reported in the past was not completely untrue. After Qiao Nan gained success, she indeed did not pay attention to her family and did not have a good relationship with her relatives. They were on the verge of breaking off all contact.
No matter how one saw it, it was clearly Qiao Nan’s fault for treating her mother in this manner.
All that trouble that Qiao Zijin had created had served as a foundation, and as such, such news no longer drew much attention from the public. There was a huge societal pressure to find a job and get married once one became an adult. Then, young people would not only have to work hard for themselves but also to take care of their elderly parents on both sides and raise their children.
Taking care of the elderly and raising children? All of these revolved around money.
If one did not work hard, who would pay them a salary? There was no choice but to work hard and even work overtime so as to fulfill one’s responsibilities. If one worked overtime, they would naturally have less time to sleep every day. Who would have the time to care about visiting the elderly? Was this a joke?
Was it not the norm to only meet the elderly a few times every year after coming out into society to work? If that was the life of ordinary people, national cadres would only be even busier and have to work even harder.
It was already considered good that Minister Qiao had never shortchanged her parents. Moreover, the last time Minister Qiao’s sister kicked up a huge fuss, even an idiot would realize that Minister Qiao’s family was not harmonious. In fact, there was probably a huge problem within their family.
But it would really be no one else’s business to interfere in her family affairs.
As such, all the media reports that followed did not cause huge uproars, but rather just rode on the waves that had yet to cease.

You’ve really made your decision?
Upon hearing Qiao Nan’s words, Deng Wenchang stared at Qiao Nan in amazement.
You… you know our family’s relationship with the Peng family but you’ve still decided to do that? Are you sure you won’t regret it?

Qiao Nan’s face was indifferent. She was not in the least bit bothered by Peng Yu.
I’ve already said it. Of course I considered it for a long while before making such a decision.


Why?
Why did Qiao Nan choose a person like him at such a time? Deng Wenchang looked forward to Qiao Nan’s answer. Why him? After all, there were quite a few capable newbies in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Qiao Nan’s choices were not limited, so why had Qiao Nan chosen him of all people?
Deng Wenchang knew that he should not be so excited, but he could hardly control his rapidly pounding heart.

You entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs around the same time as me. In theory, you should have as much experience as me. I thought long and hard about letting you take my place. Secondly, your educational qualifications are good since you studied abroad. Thirdly, haven’t you always wanted to be the minister of foreign affairs? Shouldn’t you be happy that I’m letting you take my place? Why do you care about my reasons for that?

With that, Qiao Nan sighed heavily. She had thought through such a decision carefully. It was definitely not something she had done on a whim. There were too many eyes on her while she was in such a position, and there were too many people with first-hand information about her work schedule.
In the long term, this was not beneficial to the development of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Everyone worked for the country and the people, but each department was independent. There was really no reason for other people to know so much about what was going on in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was full of ambitious people like Li Dawei and Xu Xinming. Deng Wenchang was hardly the only one. Now that Xu Xinming and Li Dawei had been chased away, there would surely be new people who would appear. Since all these people did not think that this woman could be their ‘boss’, then she would simply help a man into the position. That would do it, right?
