Chapter 2471: Seeing Is Believing (3)
In the blink of an eye, Qiu Chenxi had raised the child such that she could run around and even call Qiu Chenxi ‘mom’ and Qi Minlan ‘grandma’.
Seeing that her daughter had truly put her past behind her and that Qiu Chenxi wouldn’t be too sad even if she were to leave because she had the company of this child, Qi Minlan very quickly lost her will to live and left on the very same night as Qiu Qin.
Upon finding out about this situation, Qiu Chenxi had no response at all. She simply said that it was such a coincidence that both of them had passed away on the same night.
Yes, it had truly been a coincidence.
But there were some who wanted to watch a good show and thus stirred up rumors, making it seem as though it had been more than a coincidence.
However, Qiu Chenxi denied and ignored everything and simply conducted a funeral for Qi Minlan.
Even though Qiu Qin was her father, Qiu Chenxi did not attend his funeral.
Why?
Qiu Qin was Qiu Chenxi’s father, but wasn’t Qi Minlan Qiu Chenxi’s mother?
Even if she didn’t return to Ping Cheng to help out, Qiu Qin would still have his son and grandson to mourn for him, at the very least. If Qiu Chenxi didn’t care about Qi Minlan, there wouldn’t be anyone who would conduct Qi Minlan’s funeral.
Besides, hadn’t Qiu Qin always favored his son and grandson instead of his daughter?
What was the point of Qiu Chenxi going then? Should Qiu Qin have to see his most hated daughter even in death? Not turning up was being filial to him.
No one could rebuke Qiu Chenxi when she put it in this way. After all, Qiu Chenxi had only spoken the truth.
Qiu Chenxi had not even turned up for Qiu Qin’s funeral. Of course, there was no way Qiu Chenxi would treat his mistress’ family like her kin after his death either.
Qiu Qin had been broke, but Qi Minlan had left behind quite a substantial sum of money for Qiu Chenxi.
In the end, Qiu Chenxi had taken both her child and money and left Mo Du. No one knew where Qiu Chenxi had moved to. That was why the mistress’ family couldn’t even contact her stepdaughter, Qiu Chenxi, for help when she ran out of money since she had no idea where to find Qiu Chenxi.
After learning of the situation, Zhai Hua still maintained her silence and never mentioned Qiu Chenxi in front of Qiao Nan.
Even though nothing had happened in the three years while Zhai Sheng had been married to Qiu Chenxi, it remained a fact that Qiu Chenxi was Zhai Sheng’s first wife.
However, as Zhai Sheng’s sister, Zhai Hua was pleased that Qiu Chenxi was smart enough not to disrupt Zhai Sheng’s life now after learning that nothing good would come after cheating on Zhai Sheng.
Although she was concerned about Zhai Sheng’s matters, Zhai Hua could not care less about Wei De, who had had no choice but to give up on settling down in Ping Cheng and had returned to his hometown.
She only cared about two points. Firstly, Wei De would never get to appear in front of her in the future. Secondly, Wei De would never have the chance to harass Jiajia again.
Whether Wei De was living well or not was none of the Zhai family’s business. The Wei family had to deal with it themselves.
At the thought of that, Zhai Hua’s expression stiffened and her tone was no longer as light as before.
“Sister Zhai Hua, what’s wrong? Are you really angry at me because of Jiajia’s matters?” Qiao Nan had known all along that Zhai Hua’s so-called anger was no more than a joke. That was why she had not treated her seriously.
But the moment Zhai Hua’s expression changed, Qiao Nan could sense that something was amiss.
Zhai Hua brushed her hair back. “It’s nothing. I just thought of a problem in my business and was out of it for a while. Since Jiajia has already decided to go down your path, I’ll need to make more money, much more than the Zhu family’s wealth. Otherwise, how else will she be able to continue with her charitable actions? It’s really difficult being a good mom.”
“…”
Qiao Nan was too embarrassed to tell her that Jiajia meant to help her out. That included managing the finances for the charitable activities.
In other words, if Jiajia needed any money, she could simply let her know. As a mother, Zhai Hua wouldn’t even have a chance to act as an ATM to her daughter.
Thinking about Zhai Hua’s temper, Qiao Nan wisely chose not to let Zhai Hua know about this at that moment. She would eventually realize that sooner or later.
Even letting her know a few days later would mean a few more days of peace for Zhai Hua.
“Oh right, have you guys picked out a primary school for the triplets? Don’t delay it too much. Otherwise, you guys might not even make a decision before school starts.”
“There’s no hurry.” Qiao Nan felt more assured talking about her own children. “We still have two years to pick one out. They’ll still have to sit for a test after that. It’s not so easy.”
“It’s easy!” Miao Jing disagreed. “Our triplets are so smart. If they can’t even get into a school of their choice, other children had better not think of entering. Nan Nan, being excessively humble is also prideful.”
Miao Jing wasn’t being proud, but not only were their three children smart and inquisitive, but they also grew up in a different environment with a mom like Qiao Nan.
With the country’s development, it was no longer uncommon to see foreigners with blue eyes and blonde hair all over the country.
Of course, central areas like the capital were not spared.
Every time they met foreigners on the streets, the three children were especially bold and would run up to them to chat with them. They were so fluent that it stunned even passersby.
They were all grown up, but they couldn’t even understand what a five-year-old was saying. How embarrassing!
That was when a lot of people realized that the Zhai family’s three children were just as fluent in English as they were in Mandarin. They had no difficulties communicating with foreigners!
No one doubted that the three children would be able to find their way around even if they were left on the streets overseas.
They were impressive indeed.
It was even more apparent since they were in awe of a five-year-old child.
Everyone couldn’t help but ask Miao Jing whom the Zhai family had hired to teach their three children. It seemed like the teacher had high standards and was much better than average ones.
At that time, Miao Jing had proudly announced to her neighbors that they hadn’t even hired a foreign language teacher. It was their mother, Qiao Nan, who had taught the children English.
In fact, when the triplets had met foreigners asking for directions when they were only three, they had already been able to use their chubby little hands to point them in the right direction.
At that time, the triplets had still been young and no one had witnessed that, so Miao Jing hadn’t bothered to explain to her neighbors just how smart and excellent her three grandchildren were.
