Chapter 1159 Get More Money
“I am the one who brought you to the capital after all. I’m doing things with conscience and have already purchased your train ticket. You can decide for yourself whether you want to go back. If you don’t wish to go home, you can still return the ticket and get a refund.”
This train ticket was the only thing left that he could give Qiao Zijin.
After throwing the ticket on Qiao Zijin’s face, Chen Jun did not speak any further. He closed the door with a bang.
Qiao Zijin was scared out of her wits when she heard that. In a daze, she picked up the train ticket and walked back to her room like a lost soul.
Qiao Zijin shivered. She felt that Chen Jun’s attitude was very strange. She quickly ran downstairs, found a public phone, made a call home, and told Ding Jiayi everything that happened. “Mom, help me think of an idea. What did Chen Jun mean by this? What should I do? I am scared. I am thinking…”
She was thinking that it might be better if she were to leave for Ping Cheng together with Chen Jun.
She was new and unfamiliar to the capital. Over here, she was not on good terms with the only person that she knew, Qiao Nan. Qiao Nan was also someone that would not care about her life and death.
Ping Cheng was her home. To her, Ping Cheng definitely gave her a greater sense of security.
“Don’t come back. Go and find Qiao Nan.” Ding Jiayi laughed. This was such a good opportunity. “Chen Jun is gone and you’re the only one left. Qiao Nan can’t possibly leave you in the lurch, right? Isn’t she afraid of being scolded by other people? You just need to block the entrance of the Zhai family’s house and force them to take you in.” Zijin could then stay with the Zhai family and enjoy life until the summer vacation ended.
“Zijin, don’t be afraid. Listen to Mom. The status of the Zhai family is different now. They have returned to the central government. It’s fine if the Zhai family doesn’t help you. All those people who visit the Zhai family are not ordinary figures. You will benefit if you get to know a few of them. Besides, Chen Jun dares to treat you in this way because we gave him too much face. It’s just nice. Dump him. When you meet someone better at the Zhai family, don’t let the chance slip.”
The Zhai family had just arrived in the capital. Most probably, their status was not considered high even though they were in the central government.
Nevertheless, the Zhai family’s guests were different. If Zijin could really find someone, perhaps she would be able to marry into a better family than that wretched girl.
“Mom, what are you joking about? Will someone with such qualities take a liking to me?” Break up?
As soon as Ding Jiayi asked Qiao Zijin to dump Chen Jun, Qiao Zijin came to her senses and realized that given his attitude today, Chen Jun seemed to have the intent to dump her.
“Mom, upon hearing what you have said, I have the feeling that Chen Jun doesn’t want me anymore. Even someone like Chen Jun doesn’t want me. Tell me. Do you think those people will fancy me?”
“It’s different.” Ding Jiayi snorted proudly. “Why was Chen Jun willing to spend money on you and be your boyfriend? Wasn’t it all because of that wretched girl? Those who visited the Zhai family know that you are that wretched girl’s biological sister and Zhai Sheng’s sister-in-law. They will be happy to see you too. Zijin, you need to have more confidence in yourself. You’re much more outstanding than that wretched girl. Mom has always believed that you will marry into a better family than that wretched girl.”
Ding Jiayi berated Qiao Zijin harshly with her words. However, she still did not realize that the only reason that the so-called outstanding Qiao Zijin would be fancied by those people was the existence of Qiao Nan, someone whom she shunned very much. Qiao Nan was the reason that Qiao Zijin could feel assured.
What was Qiao Zijin without Qiao Nan, this sister!
“Mom, can you send me some money?” Qiao Zijin dared not completely believe in Ding Jiayi’s words. It was not as if Qiao Nan had not made her suffer before.
She would not be assured just because she had a sister like Qiao Nan. She must have money in her pocket. She would be more daring then!
Ding Jiayi kitted her brows and sounded very reluctant. “Zijin, you should know how much your dad and I earn. There are so many expenses needed for the family. How could I have money? If I did, I would have gone traveling to the capital with you. Without money, although I very much wanted to go, I can only coop at home and go to work abidingly. I can’t even rest when the weather is hot.”
Perhaps it was due to age that Ding Jiayi felt less secure at heart now. There had been some changes in Ding Jiayi’s attitude toward Qiao Zijin.
When one was old, it was inevitable that they would suffer from some body ailments and pain. She would have to visit the hospital for ‘repairs’ from time to time.
Qiao Nan’s resolute behavior in the past had left a deep impression on Ding Jiayi. She dared not put all her eggs into one basket and rely solely on Qiao Nan.
Although she behaved as if she would have Qiao Nan eating out of her hands in front of Chen Jun, how would Chen Jun know how guilty-conscious she felt in her heart?
Similarly, when Qiao Nan was in junior high school, Ding Jiayi was almost imprisoned for the first time in her life because of this daughter, Qiao Nan. When she was older, sick, and could no longer earn money, Ding Jiayi no longer dared to believe firmly that Qiao Nan would be willing to come back to take care of her or give her money to see a doctor.
If Ding Jiayi could not count on Qiao Nan, did she dare to count on Qiao Zijin?
No!
From Ding Jiayi’s mouth, Qiao Zijin was the best daughter in the world. However, she dared not bet all the stakes of her golden age on Qiao Zijin’s filial piety.
Since she was a child, Qiao Zijin knew no restraint when spending Ding Jiayi’s money and she didn’t care about whether Ding Jiayi was suffering. Could Ding Jiayi count on Qiao Zijin to support her and take care of her?
Far-fetched!
As such, Ding Jiayi could only try to earn and save more money when she and Qiao Dongliang could still work.
In the past, when Qiao Dongliang had a car accident, all the family’s savings had already been used for Qiao Zijin’s studies. Qiao Dongliang nearly could not undergo surgery because of that. Ding Jiayi had always remembered this matter. It left a deep impression on her!
Ding Jiayi was one who managed the money. Hence, she definitely could not let what happened to Qiao Dongliang in the past happen to her. She couldn’t lie on the bed and wait to die just because she did not have money for the surgery.
Similarly, Ding Jiayi’s behavior was also formed due to what happened in the past.
The tuition fees for Qiao Zijin’s studies were paid by Chen Jun. Ding Jiayi only needed to fork out the living expenses.
Initially, Ding Jiayi was used to telling Qiao Zijin that she was hard up and had spent all her money. When she saw that Qiao Zijin accepted this explanation, she gradually increased her savings.
Thereafter, Qiao Nan got engaged with and married Zhai Sheng. The Chen family took care of almost all of Qiao Zijin’s expenses then.
In the past, Ding Jiayi did not have a choice as she was used to spending all her money on Qiao Zijin. Now, she was used to saving all her money to prepare for retirement. When Qiao Zijin opened her mouth and asked for money, she could not bear to part with them. “Zijin, listen to me. Chen Jun is still in the capital now, right? Both of you are going to break up. You’re a grown-up lady and will be disadvantaged. Remember to request compensation from him. Kick up a fuss until he is willing to give it to you. Also, don’t let Qiao Nan benefit. Go to the Zhai family. You’re the junior. The Zhai family should give you a red packet.”
Given the status of the Zhai family, the red pocket that they gave Zijin would definitely not be a small sum.
“After taking the red packet from the Zhai family, don’t spend it. Bring them all back. You still have two more years of studies to complete.”
