Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 2203: Family Matters

Upon hearing such a piece of news, no one could understand how uncomfortable Qiao Zijin felt in her heart. Qiao Zijin was particularly upset and felt that something was amiss. That feeling made her feel so uncomfortable that she wanted to die. If Qiao Nan didn’t die, she didn’t need to think that she would get her hands on a husband like Zhai Sheng. It wasn’t enough that Qiao Nan had Zhai Sheng as a husband. She didn’t know where she got to acknowledge a godfather. Coincidentally, the other party was seriously ill and didn’t need Qiao Nan to take care of him. Instead, in the blink of an eye, she could get a huge amount of inheritance.

Qiao Zijin wouldn’t even dare to think of such a good thing. However, this happened to Qiao Nan. Qiao Zijin felt that Qiao Nan really had the ability to anger herself to death. “Dad, do you know how much money that old chief who passed away left behind for Qiao Nan?”

It was particularly difficult for Qiao Zijin to speak when she was asking this. She wanted to know but also didn’t want to know for fear that she would be furious if it was a large sum of money. However, even if she had to suffer agitation, she also wanted to be in the know and not be kept in the dark.

No, she had to persuade her mom and get her to hurry to the capital. How would Qiao Nan spend this huge sum of money that she had just obtained? No matter what, she should be filial toward her biological parents, right? If her mom could get some money from Qiao Nan, it meant that she could also follow suit and take advantage of her. This concerned her own interests. Qiao Zijin wouldn’t be careless in any way.

Qiao Dongliang was naturally happy for Qiao Nan that she encountered such a wonderful thing. Qiao Nan was a good person. That was why someone doted on her. This meant that Qiao Nan didn’t suffer in vain previously. There was still someone who saw the good in Qiao Nan. Qiao Dongliang only felt regretful that the person who had brought Qiao Nan this large amount of wealth wasn’t himself. One had to know that he was Qiao Nan’s biological father. “Don’t you think that this question is strange? How would I know how much money there is?”

“Why not? You’re her father. Is it too overboard to let you know how much money she has? Dad, why don’t you call Nan Nan and ask her? This is a major event in our family. We, as a family, should discuss together so that no one’s confused. Don’t you think so?” The sentence ‘this is a major event in our family’ revealed Qiao Zijin’s plans of getting involved in this sum of inheritance. She even wanted to regard everything Qiao Nan had as her own.

How was Qiao Dongliang willing to bother about Qiao Zijin, who had wishful thinking? “This doesn’t have anything to do with us. It’s Nan Nan’s matter. It is something major, but Nan Nan only needs to discuss it with Zhai Sheng. We’re not in the position to be involved. Don’t say that it’s all for Nan Nan’s good. You have the cheek to say this, but I don’t believe it. Zhai Sheng treats Nan Nan well. He won’t let her suffer.”

Indeed, the ‘outsider’ Zhai Sheng was much more reliable than Qiao Zijin, the birth sister. After clearly distinguishing this point, Qiao Dongliang didn’t have any thoughts at all. He was genuinely happy for Qiao Nan. He knew that after inheriting this wealth, nobody would feel that Qiao Nan was unworthy of Zhai Sheng and that Qiao Nan could marry Zhai Sheng because of his bad taste.

Qiao Dongliang was uncooperative. Even if Qiao Zijin had other thoughts, she couldn’t realize them. Qiao Zijin couldn’t help but send Qiao Nan a text as she knew that Qiao Nan wouldn’t pick up her call. “Nan Nan, I heard that someone gave you a huge sum of inheritance. How much is it? We’re a family. On the surface, the Zhai family is treating you well. However, once money is involved, you have to understand something. We are the most reliable people you have. You have to be more careful. After all, money is something good. Everyone likes it.”

Qiao Zijin deliberately didn’t mention who she was. She only used the identity of a relative to remind and persuade Qiao Nan not to make a mistake. It was fine to share this with the Zhai family, but she shouldn’t share so much money with them. If she really wanted to share the money, she should have shared it with the Qiao family. How long had Qiao Nan been living with the Zhai family? However, she had spent close to forty years with the Qiao family.

Even if Qiao Nan wasn’t well-educated, she should know how to make a sound judgment, right?

Qiao Zijin had long thought about it. If she suddenly had five million yuan one day, she would definitely not share this matter with the Chen family. She would only tell her mother and help her buy a house. She would hold on to this five million yuan alone and wouldn’t share it with Chen Jun.

Back then, after knowing that Chen Jun had a lot of women outside, Qiao Zijin spent whatever she could from the Chen family and didn’t save a single cent. Similarly, as long as something belonged to her, she would try her best to make sure that it had nothing to do with Chen Jun.

Qiao Zijin felt that since she already had such a mindset, how would Qiao Nan be so foolish to think that her in-laws were better than her own family? This was such a huge sum of money. Even if it were the Zhai family, they would be envious. Why should Qiao Nan let the Zhai family, who were outsiders, gain from this? Shouldn’t she give this amount of money to her biological family instead?

It was fast to send a text message. Qiao Nan read it immediately. After reading the contents, Qiao Nan curved her lips and smiled coldly. She deleted this ridiculous text message without saying a second word. She had understood something long ago. Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were less reliable than outsiders. Outsiders would still provide some form of protection and help to her. However, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin wouldn’t.

Once she read the contents, she knew that it was someone other than Qiao Dongliang who had sent the message. The content was too obvious. Her father wouldn’t focus on the inheritance which had not yet reached her hands. Ding Jiayi was in Ping Cheng. She would receive news at a slower speed compared to Qiao Zijin, who was in the capital. As such, this relative who was ‘thinking for her’ was none other than Qiao Zijin.

“Mom, who’s going to pick up Jiajia and Sister Zhai Hua today?” Jiajia had finished her examinations. As such, she didn’t want to stay in Ping Cheng for another day and wanted to see her younger siblings. Zhai Hua had no choice but to relent. The moment Jiajia finished her examinations, she picked up Jiajia from the examination hall and went straight to the airport with their luggage.

“Who else? Of course, it’s Zhai Sheng. He’s the one who’s the idlest in our family now.” With the triplets in her arms, Miao Jing felt that her life was complete. “Nan Nan, the triplets look just like you. When they grow up, I’m sure there will be a lot of wolf cubs who want to abduct them. No, when Zhai Sheng is back, I have to tell him that he can’t be too good-tempered. In the face of those wolf cubs, to be polite to them is to be cruel to oneself.”

Miao Jing knew how old she was. She felt that she wouldn’t have the chance to watch the triplets grow up and get married.
