  In that way, she would own a house again, giving her a sense of security. On the other hand, if they drafted a will, as long as her parents were still alive, her dad could still change his mind and leave the house to Qiao Nan. Then, she would have nothing.

  It was always best to have it for herself. It was not as though she was her parents’ only daughter. It would be safer and reliable to claim all of the family’s assets as her own now.

  Qiao Zijin had been in such a hurry that she had almost directly asked Ding Jiayi for the house. But then, Qiao Zijin suddenly had a brilliant idea. Her mom hated Qiao Nan. Her mom would never be able to bear the thought of Qiao Nan claiming half of such a valuable property. Her mom would be even more miserable than her if that were to happen!

  After a while, her mom would definitely think of a solution. “That’s alright with me. Now that you’re healthy, you’re thinking about your dad and me. About the courtyard, your dad and your opinions matter most. If you guys really want to give half of this courtyard to Qiao Nan, I’ll respect your decision even if I’m unhappy. It’s alright. Nothing will happen.”

  Knowing Ding Jiayi’s thoughts toward the matter, Qiao Zijin comfortably stood up and sat back down on the sofa, switching on the TV to watch a drama series after leaving Ding Jiayi with such heartwarming words. Qiao Zijin had banned all of Ping Cheng’s news channels. She was fed up with those people attacking and reproaching her.

  “Zijin, I think your phone in the room is ringing. Is someone calling you?” Ding Jiayi had not understood the situation before she heard Qiao Zijin’s phone ring.

  Qiao Zijin replied to Ding Jiayi without even looking at her. “You should have just brought my phone over when you heard it ringing. Do I have to tell you to do that? Hurry up, Mom.” Ever since she was hospitalized, she had not received any calls for a long time. Could it be someone who dialed the wrong number or a salesperson promoting some useless item? That would be meaningless if that was the case.

  Qiao Zijin had not yet guessed the caller before Ding Jiayi ran out with a wide smile on her face. “Zijin. Hurry and answer the call! It’s Chen Jun! It’s my son-in-law! Maybe Chen Jun’s regretting it now and wants to reconcile with you! If that’s the case, Zijin, you must not flare up. You were in the wrong when you guys got divorced. Now that Chen Jun’s willing to put his pride aside and call you first, you must grasp this opportunity. Remember to live a good and honest life once you remarry Chen Jun. Don’t create so much trouble anymore!”

  Ding Jiaiyi thanked the heavens. Blessings were coming one after another. First, Zijin had been cured of her illness. Now, her son-in-law was no longer upset with her daughter and wanted to reconcile with her! Without that jinx, Qiao Nan, the Qiao family’s lives were indeed getting better day by day. Perhaps, all of the family’s bad luck might go away now that Qiao Nan was gone. If that was the case, even if Qiao Nan were to return with the four or five hundred thousand yuan that she deserved, she would accept the money and chase Qiao Nan away, in case the family’s feng shui was affected again.

  Qiao Zijin had not even thought about that when she had heard that Chen Jun was calling her. But now that her mom had said that, Qiao Zijin blushed and her expectations rose. “Mom, don’t talk about that. I’ve already died once. How could I still be that insensible? I’ve thought about it in this period of time. My life was pretty good when I was with Chen Jun. This time, I’ll really cherish it.”

  Because of the news, Qiao Zijin felt that she would never be able to find a second man willing to marry her. But who would have expected Chen Jun to call her? Chen Jun had even been promoted! Qiao Zijin knew that it would not be easy for her to find another man, much less one who was more qualified than Chen Jun.

  Chen Jun was well-qualified and was willing to be with her. What else could Qiao Zijin be picky about? This time, she would lead an honest life, just like her mom said. She would not even spare those men outside a glance.

  Actually, if Chen Jun had not been so cold toward her and spent time with those vixens out there, she would never have gotten so angry, leading to her learning from Chen Jun and sleeping with other men.

  Forget it. She was already at this age. As long as Chen Jun did not cross the line in the future and get those vixens to call her to complain, forcing her to get a divorce, Chen Jun could have as much fun as he wanted outside. All she asked for was to be the only Mrs. Chen. “Hello?” Qiao Zijin answered the call with her gentlest voice. “It’s you.”

  Qiao Zijin felt that she had been gentle, but Chen Jun, who was on the other end of the call, was incensed. “Look carefully at who I am before trying to hook me up. I’m not a stray dog that you’re raising. Speak to me normally.” Humph! She was already trying to hook up with men right after her surgery. This woman did not know her place at all.

  “.……” Qiao Zijin’s expression soured. “What do you mean? It’s because I knew who called me. That’s why…… Chen Jun, can’t we have a peaceful conversation as a couple? How’s our son? I miss him.” Did the Chen family not care greatly about her son? They would probably let her return on her son’s account, right?

  Thankfully, she had the good fortune to not only have married Chen Jun but also to have given birth to the Chen family’s grandson.

  “You’re thinking about your son only now? It’s too late. Anyway, I don’t want to waste my time on you. I’ll delve straight into it. Qiao Nan ran away. Since when have you guys been so generous not to deal with her?”

  Up until today, Chen Jun still thought about the beating he had received at that time. He had not even looked down on Qiao Nan for her age and had chosen to marry a woman in her forties instead of a young lady in her twenties. Any other person would have been moved to tears, but Qiao Nan had not only rejected him but had even found someone to beat him up!

  Qiao Nan’s rejection seemed like a hundred slaps in the face to Chen Jun, humiliating Chen Jun. Qiao Nan had never even hated Chen Jun for starting an affair, but Chen Jun hated Qiao Nan to the guts for what happened that day.

  Did Qiao Nan mean to embarrass him? All right. Then, Qiao Nan should not hope to be able to lead a peaceful life either. Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were two blood-sucking devils. As long as these two women were alive, he would just wait and see how tough Qiao Nan’s life would be. This was the consequence of provoking him!
