In her previous life, Qiao Zijin was the famous wife of the police commissioner in Ping Cheng. Qiao Nan was not clear about how Qiao Zijin’s life was after the latter’s marriage with Chen Jun.

  Qiao Nan only knew that Qiao Zijin had never shortchanged herself in terms of dressing or accessories. She took food and things from her maternal family and even got away with a house from Qiao Nan.

  When the two of them got married, Qiao Zijin wore a complete set of gold jewelry, not any piece less.

  Following the increasing popularity of platinum and diamonds, Qiao Zijin also went home with a bright and shiny diamond ring that was not small in size.

  Later on, there was mosaic gold in the market. Whenever there was a new product, Qiao Zijin never shortchanged herself because of money. She would buy herself everything that was newly launched.

  Under the circumstance whereby she did not lack any materialistic needs, Qiao Zijin still went looking for messy wild men and was caught red-handed by the Chen family.

  From a certain perspective, it was not just the Chen family who had bullied Qiao Zijin. Qiao Zijin did not show them any face either. Neither was kind or pushovers.

  It was the pot calling the kettle back. It was hard to say who was bullying who.

  “Nan Nan, I remember that when that lad by the surname of Chen initially came to our house, he was looking for you. Do you have any impression of this person?” He just had to settle his younger daughter’s marriage properly. Thereafter, he did not need to worry about the rest of his younger daughter’s life anymore.

  The marriage of his younger daughter had been settled. Unfortunately, his elder daughter, who was most disobedient and poor in her studies, was creating troubles for him every now and then. Qiao Dongliang felt very weary.

  Qiao Nan was drinking her water when she said, “Dad, if I tell you that Chen Jun expressed a liking for me, wooed me when I was in junior high school, and even wrote me love letters, will you believe me?”

  \r \r \r

  “.……” Qiao Dongliang was stunned. He did not react after some time. “Nan Nan, is that true?”

  “He came to my school and my classroom before. When I was in my third year of junior high school, my studies were heavy but I would often receive his letters. I don’t have any feelings toward Chen Jun. Furthermore, how can dating be more important than my studies? In the end, I returned him all those letters that he sent me. However, Dad, if you have any doubts, you can go to Ping Cheng High School and ask them about it. I believe that the people in the reception office should have a little impression of this situation of mine.”

  How could it just be a little impression?

  Since Qiao Nan became the top scorer of the middle school examination and college entrance examination, both Ping Cheng High School and Ping Cheng Junior High School treated Qiao Nan as their live ambassador. They made everyone know that Qiao Nan graduated from their junior and senior high school respectively.

  If one were to enquire the reception office about other students’ matters, especially students who had graduated from the school for at least a few years, they certainly would not have any recollection.

  However, if the party concerned was Qiao Nan, the other party would be able to give a clear response then.

  In actual fact, the disciplinary rules of Ping Cheng Junior High School were quite strict. It was not just Qiao Nan’s cohort. The teachers in the reception office had been working for so many years. That was the first time that they encountered a student who had so much mail.

  “However, Dad, let’s get the unpleasantness out of the way. I am telling you because you asked me today. If other people enquire, I will definitely not bring this matter up. About four to five years have passed and I have also returned the letters to him. Even if someone can prove that I often received letters during that period, I can’t prove that those were love letters from Chen Jun. I have not been on good terms with sister since we were a child. My sister will definitely not believe any words of mine. Most likely, Chen Jun will not admit it either.”

  Her father might ask Qiao Zijin or confront Chen Jun about this matter.

  If her father received denials and turned back to question her, she would definitely not take responsibility for it.

  “I know.” Qiao Dongliang nodded. “You’re my daughter. Do I not know you? I don’t trust others but I trust you. Let me ask you something again. When Chen Jun wooed you, you were still in junior…… junior high school. Does your sister know?”

  Nan Nan had never been someone who would brag without a basis. If Nan Nan said that this had happened, it must have happened.

  Nan Nan even dared to tell him to verify this matter with the reception office of Ping Cheng Junior High School. That was enough to prove that Nan Nan had always received Chen Jun’s letters during that period of time.

  As for whether those were love letters from Chen Jun, Qiao Dongliang was not concerned at all.

  Nan Nan was only in her third year of junior high school studies then. Doing well in her studies and achieving good grades for her middle school examination was most important.

  No matter what, Chen Jun was already a college student, yet he picked such a time to write to Nan Nan frequently. Regardless of how he saw it, Chen Jun seemed to be harboring ill intentions.

  Everyone was man. Which men would write to young girls without an apparent reason?

  Qiao Nan leaned on the sofa. “Dad, you’re asking me a difficult question. It’s not like you don’t know sister’s temperament. She never tells me about her matters. However, Dad, you should remember one thing. Sister’s first meeting with Chen Jun was when he visited us to look for me. Dad, tell me, is it possible that sister did not see through Chen Jun’s mind at that time?”

  Chen Jun had already come knocking on their door. Was there a need to be more specific on that?

  Damn, who would have so much spare time to pay a visit to a junior whom he was completely unrelated to on the first day of Lunar New Year? That was amusing.

  However, Qiao Nan did not tell Qiao Dongliang about the transaction between Chen Jun and Wang Yang, in case it caused too much psychological burden on Qiao Dongliang.

  Qiao Dongliang’s expression turned sullen. “This is outrageous. Outrageous!”

  Regardless of Chen Jun’s intention when he visited them, Qiao Nan was the one that he was looking for. If Zijin had some shame, she should have maintained a distance with Chen Jun.

  Fortunately, Nan Nan had Zhai Sheng. What if Nan Nan had been foolish and accepted Chen Jun’s advances? Wouldn’t Zijin’s behavior be akin to double-crossing her own sister? That would be too shameless!

  “.……” Qiao Dongliang wanted very much to discipline Qiao Zijin. He felt that Qiao Zijin’s behavior this time was really too much. “It is not as if Chen Jun is the only man left in the whole world!”

  When she knew that Chen Jun visited them because of her own sister, Zijin even went flanking herself in front of him!

  Qiao Nan gave a yawn. “Dad, don’t be angry. Of course, Chen Jun is not the only man in the whole world. The problem is that Chen Jun’s father used to be the deputy commissioner of Ping Cheng’s police headquarters, but he was demoted later on. I am not sure what mistake he had committed. However, he is still a government official regardless of his current role. It is not difficult to find a man but it is not so easy to find one that has better qualities than Chen Jun. Dad, you don’t need to worry about sister. She is very smart.”

  Qiao Nan’s blunt words were like a hammer that hit Qiao Dongliang’s head. “Your sister is with Chen Jun not because she likes him?”

  “My goodness, Dad, if sister is willing to be with Chen Jun, naturally, she likes him. Chen Jun is the second generation of government officials. It is a part of Chen Jun’s identity. Given this important status, sister likes Chen Jun even more.”
