Chapter 2490: No Longer Staying with You (1)
Her younger siblings truly had it hard having a father who was crazy for his wife. “Alright, don’t complain about it. I heard my mom saying that Uncle treated you guys very well when you were young. He always played with you guys and always got Auntie to coax you guys to sleep. Every time your family went out, Uncle and Auntie always let you sleep in the middle while they slept by the sides. My mom often says that she had never thought that Uncle would have such a tender and considerate side to him.”
Her mom even said that she thought that her younger brother was made of ice. Any time he warmed up and the ice melted, he would disappear from this earth.
“Are you serious? Why do I have no impression of that?” San Bao cupped her face in disbelief.
Every time they asked their mother to put them to bed, their dad would say that there was no need for their mother to coax them to sleep since they were all grown up. If they couldn’t fall asleep, it was better to put on a lullaby so that they could fall asleep themselves.
Thinking about how her father had even slept by her side, San Bao thought that it was incredulous.
Jiajia helped San Bao tidy her hair. “It’s not strange that you don’t remember it. That all happened before you turned three. After you guys turned five, Uncle…”
Got much stricter.
But her younger siblings had better memories of everything that had happened after turning five. On the other hand, they seemed to have no memories of the times before they were five.
“Are you guys ready?” Chen Feng couldn’t help but remind the two sisters of their main objective of the day.
They had already finished their outdoor photoshoot that morning and were here to take some additional indoor photos.
“Alright, alright. I’ll return my sister to you. Sigh. You were so nice to us in the past. Now that you’re my brother-in-law, you’re just like my dad and not friendly to us at all!”
San Bao pouted, expressing her unhappiness.
It was indeed true that men changed after marriage.
Her brother would never have hurried her like that in the past. Now that he was getting married, his younger siblings were being cast aside.
Sigh. Men were all the same. Even if she found a man like her brother, he would eventually end up like her father.
San Bao was disappointed. Why couldn’t she get a perfect man?
Thankfully, she was still young and only fourteen years old. She still had at least ten years to find that ideal man in her heart.
With that thought, San Bao felt much more at ease and didn’t take issue with how her brother had cast his sister aside now that he had a wife.
Of course, Chen Feng could not hide the fact that he was getting married to Jiajia from his mother, Qiao Zijin.
Mother and Father Chen had left over the past five to six years, but the one who was the greatest troublemaker, Ding Jiayi, was still well and alive.
The elderly in Jiajia’s family were all gone too.
That was why Jiajia hesitated, not knowing whether to let Ding Jiayi attend the wedding. She wasn’t particularly interested in inviting her, but it didn’t seem right not to do so either. After all, Chen Feng was Ding Jiayi’s eldest grandson.
Thinking about how Ding Jiayi was so old, and how they had already invited Qiao Zijin, they seemed to be left with no other choice than to invite Ding Jiayi since she was his ‘grandmother’.
Forget it. They would invite both of them.
It was such a joyful occasion that her son was getting married, but when Qiao Zijin learned of the news, she couldn’t even let out a smile. In fact, her heart was full of hatred.
If her son was going to marry Jiajia, she would rather her son not get married at all.
So many years had passed. Qiao Zijin would be a fool if she couldn’t sense how Chen Feng had a closer relationship with Qiao Nan than herself.
But she was Chen Feng’s biological mother, after all, and she was still alive. How could Chen Feng be filial to Qiao Nan instead of her? Who was the one who had given birth to Chen Feng?
Qiao Zijin was already unable to tolerate how her son didn’t have much feelings for her and was biased toward Qiao Nan.
Now, her son was going to marry Qiao Nan’s in-law’s niece! This made Qiao Zijin even more upset, and she wanted to prevent this marriage at all costs.
She clearly knew just how much Zhai Hua’s daughter liked Qiao Nan. While she had been in Ping Cheng, she had always talked sweetly about her auntie, so much so that it was disgusting to hear.
Jiajia shared a close relationship with Qiao Nan, and Chen Feng liked Qiao Nan too.
If she were to let the two of them get married, she would be cast aside.
Besides, it had been a long time since Chen Feng had started dating Jiajia, but he had never once mentioned Jiajia to her. He had been trying to protect her!
That wasn’t wrong since she didn’t like Zhai Hua’s daughter and would never let Zhai Hua’s daughter be her daughter-in-law. She had to let her son marry another woman!
Qiao Zijin knew just how impressive Zhai Hua was.
Considering Jiajia and Zhai Hua had a similar temper, Qiao Zijin was sure that Jiajia would never let her have it good if Chen Feng were to marry Jiajia.
Daughters-in-law suffered for years before becoming mothers-in-law themselves. She had finally been able to become a mother-in-law, but not only would she not be able to assert her position as one, but she would even have to live according to her daughter-in-law’s whims and fancy. That made absolutely no sense!
Her son could marry anyone but Zhai Hua’s daughter!
She would not agree!
Seeming to have guessed Qiao Zijin’s attitude, Chen Feng made a call to her. “I’ve bought you a ticket to the capital. If you want to come, you can just bring your identity card along. It’s fine even if you don’t want to come. It’s quite tiring to come to the capital from Ping Cheng anyway. My wedding with Jiajia will be recorded. You can watch it on video next time if you’re interested.”
If Qiao Zijin didn’t come, Chen Feng would feel even more relieved.
But Chen Feng knew that Qiao Zijin wanted to attend her son’s wedding. She simply didn’t want him to marry Jiajia.
Of course, because she had not achieved her goal, there was no way Qiao Zijin would give up. She had to go to the capital.
But Chen Feng held on to that sliver of hope. He felt that Qiao Zijin not coming to the capital to attend his wedding would be the best wedding present she could ever give him.
Every son hoped to receive a present from his mother when getting married. The thought of how he wanted such a present made Chen Feng feel that he shared this misery with Qiao Zijin.
Thankfully, all of his other relatives were very normal and treated him well apart from Qiao Zijin.
Now that he was getting married, his auntie had taken over the duties of his parents and had helped him settle everything. This had lessened the burden on him and Jiajia.
In this way, he had quite a good fortune. Although his mom was unreliable, he had a reliable younger auntie, with whom he shared an even closer bond. There was nothing he could complain about.
After hanging up the call, Chen Feng continued with his preparations.
