“Why? Is your new wife not as pretty as Qiao Nan? Is she not as considerate or good-natured as Qiao Nan? That can’t be. You liked Qiao Nan so much. Why didn’t you find one like Qiao Nan? Since you already have a new one, why do you still care about the old one?”

  Qiao Zijin was truly jealous of Chen Jun’s feelings toward Qiao Nan. Even a playboy like Chen Jun could be so nervous about a woman, and that woman was her own biological younger sister, no less. Although she had snatched Chen Jun away from Qiao Nan in name, Qiao Zijin felt that she had never once held Chen Jun’s heart.

  Even when she had been in excruciating pain while giving birth to Chen Feng, Chen Jun had not even been this anxious.

  Qiao Zijin was used to being pampered from a young age and had never suffered much. Childbirth was a pain that she had never once experienced in her life. Qiao Zijin nearly gave up on giving birth to that child.

  But her water bag had burst and she had had no other choice.

  \r \r \r

  Since that was the case, Qiao Zijin decided to undergo a cesarean section. She couldn’t take the pain anymore. If she were to undergo a cesarean section, she would feel nothing and would even be able to forgo the terrible childbirth process since the doctors would simply administer anesthetic and cut her abdomen to get the child out. Qiao Zijin couldn’t care less about how she would have to recuperate from that operation.

  Who would have expected Chen Jun to reject Qiao Zijin’s request? Natural birth was better for both the mother and child, so it was best for Qiao Zijin to endure the pain. In the end, Chen Jun had reluctantly agreed and signed the papers for a cesarean section after watching Qiao Zijin struggle for more than an hour.

  At that time, she had been in such pain that death was a preferable option to her. But Chen Jun had still remained calm and could even reason that a natural birth would be better for her and the child. Now, Qiao Nan had not even given birth. All Chen Jun knew was that Qiao Nan had been admitted into the hospital as a precaution and yet, he was already so worried. “Qiao Nan married Zhai Sheng and became the chief’s wife. Does she still need your concern? If you really want to care for someone, why don’t you care for your new wife? Qiao Nan is about to give birth. You couldn’t have gotten married later than Qiao Nan, right? How’s it going? Is Feng Feng going to get another brother or sister?”

  At this moment, Qiao Zijin could not care less about Chen Jun’s concern toward Qiao Nan. If Chen Jun were to have a second child, that child would definitely steal some of Chen Jun’s love away from Chen Feng, whether it be a girl or a boy. The existence of that child would definitely be a great threat to Chen Feng, who did not have his mother around.

  “You don’t have to… Thank you for your concern. I have a good relationship with my wife. You know very well that Feng Feng’s studies are very important, so I’ve already discussed it with my wife. We’ll think about that only after Feng Feng finishes his high school examination. Anyway, my wife is still young. Another two years won’t matter to her. As for me, I’m working out to maintain my body. It won’t be difficult to get my wife pregnant. Alright, let me know when Qiao Nan gives birth. I’ll have to send something over to welcome the three children.”

  Chen Jun could very obviously hear Qiao Zijin’s jealousy in her voice. Yes, he was still unable to put down the past and his relationship with Qiao Nan. He hadn’t found his new wife based on Qiao Nan? Chen Jun had realized after his wedding that this woman was indeed quite similar to Qiao Nan.

  It was just as well that Qiao Nan was giving birth. He would have an excuse to visit the three children. If nothing else worked, he would say that Feng Feng was finally an elder brother and wanted to meet his three younger siblings. That would probably work.

  Triplets… Qiao Nan had good fortune indeed.

  As for whether to worry about Qiao Nan, Chen Jun thought that it was rather ridiculous. Qiao Nan was Zhai Sheng’s wife. Given the Zhai family’s position and status, there was no way the Zhai family would not be anxious now that Qiao Nan was pregnant. Perhaps, they had already found the best obstetrician and gynecologist in the entire country to deliver Qiao Nan’s children.

  Given Qiao Nan’s situation, if even Zhai Sheng could not keep Qiao Nan, she might never have gotten the chance to be a mother in her entire lifetime.

  “Alright, I’ve bothered you for quite a while. I’ll see when I get the chance.” With that, Chen Jun hung up the call. If he had not had urgent matters, Chen Jun would not have bothered listening to Qiao Zijin’s sour tone all day. Before they had gotten divorced, this was exactly how Qiao Zijin had spoken as well. It was unsettling and uncomfortable to listen to.

  “You…” Qiao Zijin’s face flushed red in anger when the call ended. She threw her phone down on the bed. “My dad hung up on me, and now, Chen Jun hung up on me too. Chen Jun, who are you? Don’t forget that you were the one to call me first! What right do you have to hang up on me? I’ll be a fool if I agree to help you with this. You can dream on about taking advantage of Zhai Sheng! You’ll never get your way as long as I’m alive!”

  Qiao Zijin swore to herself that once she married Zhai Sheng, not only would she not help Chen Jun, but she would even try to drag Chen Jun down. She was clear about the Chen family’s situation, having been part of the family for over ten years. The Chen family was not particularly clean. At the very most, they were slightly more cautious than an average person when dealing with matters.

  It would be easy for her to expose the Chen family and Chen Jun for having received gifts from others. She would make Chen Jun regret the things he had done to her and for hanging up on her today.

  Qiao Nan had good fortune? Nonsense! She was the one who had good fortune! So what if Qiao Nan had been in a relationship with Chen Jun? She was the one who had gotten married to him in the end. This time, it would be no different with Zhai Sheng. Qiao Nan would always be the one whose hard work benefitted someone else. All good things in the world were hers alone!

  After throwing a tantrum, Qiao Zijin quickly calmed down. Now, she was even more determined to meet Qiao Nan and gain her trust so that Qiao Nan would agree to let her take care of the three children. As long as she succeeded, she would definitely return the humiliation she had faced at Chen Jun’s hands a thousand times over. Zhai Sheng was the only way she would be able to achieve that goal of hers.

  “Dad!” Qiao Dongliang was holding the soup that he stewed for Qiao Nan. Who would have known that he would be stopped at the door to the hospital by Qiao Zijin? “Why are you here?”

  Qiao Zijin smiled and lifted up the fruits in her hand. “Same as you. I’m here to see Nan Nan.”
