Chapter 2211: Whose Idea Was This?
“However, now won’t do. You suddenly want me to find another place to live in. How can I find it? Dad, you also know that it isn’t easy to rent a house in the capital. It’s expensive too.”
“For an urgent situation like mine, I definitely won’t be able to rent a cheap and good place. It’s easy for me to be taken advantage of as well. Dad, it’s not easy to earn money. We don’t have to let others earn so much of my money, right?” Let her move out? She wouldn’t. She didn’t believe that she couldn’t get her mother to come over from Ping Cheng to the capital within three months.
As long as her mother was in the capital, Qiao Nan didn’t need to think about taking back this house. If Qiao Nan made her anxious and she became angry, when her mother arrived, she would definitely let her know that although Qiao Nan was wealthy and married a good husband, she actually arranged such a small place for her biological mother to live in.
Qiao Nan had to acknowledge her mother and admit that she was a daughter of the Qiao family. It was either she invited their mom to the Zhai family to stay or change a bigger house for her so that she could live more comfortably.
Of course, if Qiao Nan knew what to do and listened to her advice on that matter so that it could be resolved quickly and she could earn the money she required in this lifetime, she wouldn’t create so much trouble for Qiao Nan.
They were biological sisters. Reciprocity should be valued. If Qiao Nan gave in, she would also back down. What’s wrong to be kind relatives? Why did they have to fight until they were both red in the face? That would be ugly.
“Three months?” Qiao Dongliang asked, “Do you know how much money it costs to rent such a house for three months? It’s easy for you to just relax and open your mouth. You want others to fork out three months of rent for you? If you really want to stay and find that it’s not easy to find a place to live in, that’s fine as well. Go according to the market price. Pay Nan Nan the rent for as long as you want to live here. How convenient is that? Don’t worry. Nobody will take advantage of you. Nan Nan wouldn’t do that. At the very most, she just wouldn’t give you any benefits.”
Qiao Dongliang didn’t know if this house belonged to the Zhai family or if the Zhai family rented it. Regardless, there was no reason for their family to continue living here without paying any money. He had already lived in the capital for a month. How would Qiao Dongliang have the cheek to continue living here? He only wanted to quickly return the house to the Zhai family and stop wasting their money. Even if this house really belonged to the Zhai family and they didn’t need to spend any money, the Zhai family could still earn some income if they rented this out.
“Dad, can you not be so hard-headed? I’m Qiao Nan’s biological sister. She married well and I’m divorced. I don’t ask for you to take the initiative and get Qiao Nan to take care of me more. However, do you have to guard against me and help Qiao Nan? It’s as if she’s your daughter but I’m not. Yes, I’m not as capable as Qiao Nan, but I’m still your relative. When I’m facing difficulties, is it that overboard for you to lend me a hand? Why do you have to force me so tightly? Are you trying to drive me to my death?!”
She didn’t believe that this house rental alone would affect Qiao Nan’s life adversely. Let’s not mention the Zhu family’s inheritance first. As the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law, the rental of this house was nothing to Qian Nan.
This wouldn’t cause Qiao Nan any trouble. However, her dad was placing Qiao Nan’s interests above everything else. Why was that so? This would hurt their father-daughter relationship too much.
“Drive you to your death?” Qiao Dongliang was angered and he slapped the table hard with his hand. “When you snatched Chen Jun away from Nan Nan’s hands in the past and became the Chen family’s daughter-in-law, Nan Nan was always single. Why didn’t you think that based on your good conditions, you could help Nan Nan as well? You only told us that it wasn’t easy for you to marry Chen Jun, so we shouldn’t burden you. Based on Nan Nan’s previous relationship with Chen Jun, they must not get too close to each other lest scandals arise. Did you treat all the words you said as nonsense? You say this set of words to Nan Nan but another set to yourself. Does that mean you’re human and Nan Nan isn’t?”
It wasn’t as if a similar situation didn’t happen in their family before. It was just that after the situations were reversed, Qiao Zijin’s rhetoric completely changed as well.
She shouldn’t treat Qiao Nan well as she wasn’t proper and was in an ambiguous relationship with her brother-in-law. Qiao Nan should treat her well as Qiao Nan married well and she was divorced. Qiao Nan was the stronger party here. If Qiao Nan didn’t take care of her, could it be that she should take care of Qiao Nan instead?
However, the situation between Qiao Nan and Qiao Zijin was like that two years ago. Qiao Zijin’s conditions were obviously much better than Qiao Nan’s. All along, not only did Qiao Zijin not help Qiao Nan at all, but she also kept asking for money from Qiao Nan through Ding Jiayi.
Qiao Zijin didn’t remember these matters anymore but Qiao Dongliang did. “Zijin, it’s indeed comfortable for you to do things like this. Everything must be based on your interests. Everyone must stand in your position to think for you. Zijin, you’re already a mother. Your mom and I can no longer do things like this, yet you still have so many demands from Nan Nan. I don’t even want to ask if you’re still a person with a conscience.”
After saying this, Qiao Dongliang’s shoulders collapsed. “I’m not going to argue with you. It’s not good if anyone hears about this. However, I can tell you that you don’t even need to think about what you just said. Once I leave, this house will be taken back. If I don’t leave, all the water and electricity supplies will stop in this house at seven in the morning tomorrow. Oh, right. Although I’m boarding the plane at nine, I’m coincidentally leaving the house at seven as well. Figure things out yourself in the future. If you really don’t want to leave, I can’t do anything. If you don’t want to hand over the keys, it’s not a big issue either. At the very most, the owner of this house would come and change locks.”
As such, unless Qiao Zijin locked herself in this house without water or electricity in the future, she wouldn’t be able to step back in again once she stepped out of the house as the locks would have been changed.
“Dad, did you come up with this idea, or is Qiao Nan really so ruthless to me?” Qiao Zijin’s face turned pale. She decided that in this world, there was no use being a good person. She shouldn’t have been so polite toward Qiao Nan and even harbored thoughts of getting along well with her. If Qiao Nan was unkind to her, she would be unkind as well.
No matter what she encountered in the future, she no longer needed to think for Qiao Nan. She only needed to think of what she should do to obtain the biggest benefit. She no longer needed to consider if what she did would affect Qiao Nan negatively or if she should think of a way that allowed both her and Qiao Nan to get the best of both worlds.
