Chapter 1769 - How Harsh

Chapter 1769: How Harsh Earlier, Ding Jiayi had not been able to get in contact with that driver. Of course, she had gotten angry over it, but she had not been in the least bit worried. She knew that her demand of five hundred thousand yuan was indeed on the high side. Thus, it was only natural for the other party to be upset and try to avoid her because of the fuss she was making.
But that driver should not expect to live a comfortable life as long as they did not go down to the police station to sign an agreement. Before long, he would ruffle the feathers of their family so much so that she would directly send the driver to jail. There was no way there would be anyone who would willingly go to jail.
But now, Ding Jiayi was truly starting to get afraid. After considering the situation thoroughly, she thought of a solution.
I just remembered that I couldn’t get in contact with that driver after Qiao Nan awoke from her coma. Could that wretched girl really have… No, that won’t do. That’s the money Zijin needs to save her life. If I had known that that wretched girl would be so heartless, I would have just thrown her away after I gave birth to her even if it was illegal. Does she really want to see Zijin die? No wonder Zijin said that it’s entirely Qiao Nan’s fault that she had to get a divorce from Chen Jun. That wretched girl must have interfered in it!

With a loud sound, Qiao Dongliang’s slap landed hard on Ding Jiayi’s face after he heard Ding Jiayi’s response.
Are you awake now? Whose fault did you say it is that Zijin got divorced? Whose fault did she say it is?

Qiao Dongliang’s gaze cooled. Could she simply push the responsibility of something that everyone knew about to anyone just like that? At the thought of all the things that Qiao Zijin had done, Qiao Dongliang was no longer like before. He no longer pitied his elder daughter for having gotten divorced and becoming single at this age, and he retorted impatiently.
Was it Nan Nan who asked Zijin to get into an affair and ask her to get caught red-handed by the Chen family? Did Nan Nan force Zijin to sleep with another man? Did Nan Nan threaten to kill Zijin if Zijin didn’t sleep with another man? Tell me again whose fault it is that Chen Jun wanted to get a divorce from Zijin. Whose fault is it?

The slap stunned Ding Jiayi for a moment, but upon seeing Qiao Dongliang, she retracted her cocky attitude and covered her face and started sobbing.
It’s her fault. It’s her fault. It’s true that Zijin was confused for a moment and committed a folly. But husbands and wives should always resolve their differences after a quarrel. If it was not for that wretched girl, Chen Jun would definitely have given Zijin a second chance even after her mistake given their years of close relationship they shared with each other. They would never have gotten a divorce.


He…
Qiao Dongliang laughed.
You might be a woman, but don’t say something like that so easily. What do all men hate the most? Being cheated on! Do you really not know what kind of family background the Chen family has? Or what kind of temper your son-in-law has? I would find it even stranger if Chen Jun tolerated this. Do you really think that I wouldn’t know about what happened that year because I didn’t ask about it? Chen Jun was snatched over from Nan Nan by Zijin. Nan Nan was already being very generous by not blaming Zijin. Now that she’s done something wrong and gotten a divorce, she’s still trying to pin the blame on Nan Nan? She’s already a mother. Does she even think about that? As a grandmother, where’s your dignity? Have you fed it to the dogs?

Qiao Dongliang took a deep breath.
You’ve gone around for a whole day but look where you’ve gotten. It seems that Nan Nan’s really left. It’s good that she’s left. She’s finally come to her senses and is leaving after so many years. In the future, Nan Nan will never contact us, so don’t bother Nan Nan either. Nan Nan’s almost forty years old. How she chooses to lead her life in the future has nothing to do with you and you shouldn’t try to interfere either. Stop spouting all that nonsense. Do you really think she’s unfilial? Ever since she started working, all her income has gone into your pockets to fund Zijin!


She’s my daughter. I was the one who gave birth to her and raised her. It’s only right for her to give me her salary.
That was what Qiao Nan should do. Otherwise, Qiao Nan would be in the wrong. How was Qiao Nan any good? On what basis should she stop contacting Qiao Nan? Every single cent of Qiao Nan’s earnings was hers!

You gave birth to Zijin and raised her too. But why don’t I see you asking her for money? Instead, you’re always giving her money. Do you mean that Zijin is filial, but Nan Nan is not? How can you have the cheek to say such a thing when you’re using Nan Nan’s money? You’re so ungrateful! You’re a mother and Nan Nan’s your daughter. But everything seems topsy-turvy when it comes to you and Nan Nan. Don’t you think it’s embarrassing at all? In the future, let your filial daughter support you. I want to see how filial that filial daughter of yours will be once Nan Nan’s out of the picture.

Qiao Dongliang was truly incensed by what he had seen today.
He had been confused and had even pretended to be clueless, but he indeed had no idea about the actual situation. Based on Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin’s relationship, Qiao Dongliang knew that Qiao Zijin definitely knew about Qiao Nan’s living conditions.
With such a huge premise, Qiao Zijin had not only snatched Qiao Nan’s boyfriend away from her but had also failed to cherish her days as part of the Chen family and had done such a shameful thing instead. Then, Qiao Zijin had even made use of her mother, Ding Jiayi, to suck Qiao Nan’s blood, leaving Qiao Nan with no space to breathe at all. Qiao Dongliang was heartbroken at the thought of that.
He could not wrap his mind around this situation. They were a family, after all. And all these years, Qiao Nan had treated them so well and had sacrificed so much for the family. How could Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin be so heartless toward her? Even if one’s heart were made of stone, Qiao Nan’s persistence and actions would have probably warmed and melted that stone heart by now.
All these proved that Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were the truly heartless ones.

There are some things I don’t wish to talk to you about anymore because you’ve done more than enough for me to understand everything. You’re always scolding Nan Nan, calling her a wretched girl and saying that you should have killed her the moment you gave birth to her. Since that’s the case, just treat it as though Nan Nan’s dead from today onward. In the future, we’ll only have one daughter—Zijin. You don’t have a second daughter anymore, so it’s only right that Nan Nan’s money has nothing to do with you. Don’t only remember that Nan Nan’s your daughter when you want her money. Anyway, I’m exhausted. I’m going to bed. Do whatever you want.

Even if Qiao Dongliang did not ask about the matter, he had already guessed that Qiao Nan had probably resolved the matter with the driver personally behind the family’s back.
As for the compensation, it went without saying that Qiao Nan would have taken all of that herself.
Unlike Ding Jiayi, Qiao Dongliang did not hate Qiao Nan to the core for doing that. But he did feel slightly uneasy because he was clear that without Qiao Nan’s help, he and Ding Jiayi would never be able to afford the two hundred thousand yuan needed for Qiao Zijin’s surgery even if they were willing to wait for a kidney donor.
