Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

1156 Take Your Time to Leave. I Am Not Sending You Off

“Both Dad and I completely could not persuade Mom. Mom’s ‘monologue’ has caused you a lot of trouble again, right? Did she make you worried?”

There was a vague flash in Qiao Nan’s eyes. These words did not seem like the usual speaking style of Qiao Zijin. “Certainly, there is some trouble. You have also seen it yourself. I have to rely on others to take care of me now, yet Mom called me and insisted that I take care of you. However, Mom’s bias is not something new. You don’t need to persuade me. I have never taken Mom’s words to heart.”

Qiao Nan said this to let Qiao Zijin understand one situation. In the past, regardless of how much Qiao Zijin wanted to make use of Ding Jiayi to derive benefit from her, just like today, the outcome would always be the same—she would not get anything.

Listen to her mother’s words?

Sorry. She could not do that since six years ago.

Qiao Zijin’s expression changed. “It’s also good that you can sort out your thoughts. I won’t persuade you then. If Mom’s words are unreasonable, you can ignore them. Don’t argue with her. It’s meaningless. In this lifetime, Mom only has the two of us, her children. Actually, it’s not easy for her too.”

She could choose not to listen to her mother if the latter was wrong in her words. However, Qiao Nan had to listen to her mother if the latter was right!

No matter how stubborn Qiao Nan was, she could not change the fact that her mother gave birth to her.

How could it be so easy to have a clean break?

Chen Jun narrowed his eyes and gave Qiao Zijin a nudge.

He had just reminded Qiao Zijin a few minutes ago, yet Qiao Zijin had obviously turned defensive in front of Qiao Nan and Zhai Hua. It was true that one could not make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.

Qiao Zijin was long used to having conflicts with Qiao Nan during their interactions. As soon as she heard Qiao Nan say something she was not pleased or satisfied with, she would let the cat out of the bag despite having put up a good pretense earlier on.

After receiving Chen Jun’s reminder, tears welled up in Qiao Zijin’s eyes. “Nan Nan, don’t take my words to heart too. Mom is biased and good to me, so it is only right that I support and repay her. I always hope that Mom’s life can be better and smoother. As such, my words most probably did not make more sense than those of Mom. Don’t be angry. I apologize to you.”

Qiao Zijin made it sound as if her unreasonable words resulted from her loss of temper out of filial piety for Ding Jiayi.

Although her words were not pleasing to the ears, there was a valid reason for it.

“Ha”. Qiao Nan laughed. “Thank you for coming to visit me.”

Chen Jun tightened his fist that was holding on to a present. After adjusting his mindset, he put down the present. “We only know that you are pregnant but don’t know the gender of your babies. Hence, we just bought a little children’s stuff.”

“Thank you.” Zhai Hua took a glance at those items. They were neither pricey nor extraordinarily costly, so it was not a problem to accept them.

Zhai Hua looked at Qiao Nan. Qiao Zijin wasn’t that smart but she had found herself a boyfriend that seemed capable. At the very least, he was much more intelligent than Qiao Zijin and seemed to be someone difficult to deal with.

She had Wei De as an example. Hence, when she saw Chen Jun’s behavior, Zhai Hua did not feel positive about Chen Jun just because of his good performance.

He had already come to this place. This boyfriend of Qiao Zijin was definitely aware of what kind of family Qiao Nan had married into.

Given this point alone, Zhai Hua had a reason to believe that this boyfriend of Qiao Zijin was willing to date a foolish thing like Qiao Zijin not because of love. It should be for the sake of his interest.

“Do you want a cup of tea?” Qiao Nan did not respond to Zhai Hua. Of course, she was aware of how smart Chen Jun was.

If he was not smart, how could he have cajoled her so well in her previous lifetime? After he gained something from Wang Yang successfully and completed his mission, he even two-timed her and made Qiao Zijin pregnant.

Qiao Nan knew in her heart that if she did not have a second chance, given that head of hers, she would not be able to see through Chen Jun’s true colors that were akin to a wolf in a sheep’s clothing.

“Sure...” Qiao Zijin wanted to agree. Didn’t Chen Jun ask her to come to the capital for a holiday because of Qiao Nan?

It was rare that Qiao Nan still had some shame. She knew that she could not lose all of her maternal family members. There was no reason for Qiao Zijin to decline. She bent her knee and wanted to land her bum on the seat so that she could bond with Qiao Nan and Zhai Hua.

Besides, didn’t they say that the chief’s wife was also at home?

Everyone was one family. They should get the chief’s wife to come out and acknowledge them, lest the family members fail to recognize one another and a friendly fire occur in the future.

Qiao Zijin wanted to take a seat but Chen Jun swiftly grabbed Qiao Zijin’s arms. As such, she could not sit down. She lost her footing but did not fall as Chen Jun was holding on to her. “No, thank you. Zijin and I will be in the capital for a few days. We just came to pay a short visit today. As for having tea, we can talk about it again when we have the chance.”

As long as he retained the tea session, he and Qiao Zijin would have another opportunity to come again.

Most importantly, Chen Jun noticed that Qiao Nan had been yawning.

Qiao Nan was pregnant. Most probably, it was normal for her to feel sleepy.

In the Zhai family, Qiao Nan was the only one who was Qiao Zijin’s sister. Qiao Zijin did not know Zhai Hua well. He was even less familiar with Zhai Hua.

They came to pay a visit and not to trouble others.

If they were to insist on holding on to Qiao Nan, this sleepy pregnant woman, for a chat, the gossip from others would drown him and Qiao Zijin.

On the contrary, he was willing to let Qiao Nan return to her room to rest. They did not seem to have any common topic of conversation with Zhai Hua anyway. They would only sit down and face each other awkwardly.

If that was truly the case, the so-called relatives’ visit today would seem too imposing. It would make people feel unhappy.

Rome was not built in one day. In particular, Qiao Zijin and Qiao Nan’s relationship was so poor. It was not easy to become relatives with the Zhai family. This could not be rushed and they had to take their time.

Chen Jun took a breath and revealed a polite smile to Qiao Nan and Zhai Hua. “Zijin and I will be leaving. Let’s meet again another time when we have the chance.”

“Take your time.” Zhai Hua was very surprised. Once Chen Jun spoke, he had already fixed the subsequent date. He was quite a capable individual.

Ouch. Although Qiao Zijin was much lousier than her, the boyfriend that she found was also better than Wei De.

Could it be that she was too outstanding in all other aspects? Hence, her judgment of character was much worse than others?

“Why did we leave just like that? It’s not easy to get in. I don’t know how to meet up with Qiao Nan again.” After leaving, at the sight of vehicles coming to and fro and the endless flow of traffic, Qiao Zijin was so furious that she felt like vomiting blood. “Haven’t you already seen how bad Qiao Nan’s temper is? It’s stinky and stubborn. We can’t always pin our hopes on next time. Instead, we should try our best to resolve the matter once and for all.”

Next time? She very much doubted when Qiao Nan would be willing to bother about the Qiao family again. Would it happen only when one of her parents died?
