Chapter 1671: Watching Closely

No matter how much Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi wanted to deal with her, Qiao Nan would still be able to keep her cool and not get too angry. But once they brought her three children into the matter, Qiao Nan would be like a provoked lioness that could not wait to tear apart the other party.

In the face of Zhou Xing's unreasonable revenge, Qiao Nan could not accept it and was understandably infuriated.

"No, you're mistaken. I know. I know everything. I did tell Xingxing about the whole matter. I didn't malign you..."

"Hehehe... Your favorite daughter did die under my wheel after all. I don't believe that your tone and comments could have been fair and unbiased when you told Zhou Xing about this. It's your emotional memories that affected Zhou Xing, right? Ding Jiayi, Qiao Zijin would rather die than acknowledge you as her mom. You already ruined the life of your favorite daughter. Do you intend to ruin your favorite granddaughter's life as well?"

She had been Ding Jiayi's daughter for two whole lifetimes. Ding Jiayi could deceive others about her true nature, but Qiao Nan was definitely not going to be fooled.

She did indeed believe that Ding Jiayi did not intentionally smear her name in front of Zhou Xing. But when speaking of the past, Ding Jiayi's words were bound to be biased and were sure to be laced with her own subjective opinions, emotions, and judgment.

What would a child like Zhou Xing know? When everything happened, Zhou Xing had not been in the capital, and neither had she experienced it first-hand. Everything she knew, as well as everything she based her emotions on, was from Ding Jiayi's descriptions of the matter.

Naturally, Ding Jiayi had to bear the responsibility for Zhou Xing's huge misunderstanding about what had happened in the previous generation.

"No, I didn't. I loved Zijin the most, and Xingxing is my only granddaughter who grew up by my side. At that time, I was willing to leave the capital and return to Ping Cheng for the sake of staying by Xingxing's side, taking care of her, and watching her grow up. How could I bear to hurt Xingxing? You've misunderstood me. I'm not that kind of person." Ding Jiayi continued to deny it. Her heart ached dearly.

In this lifetime, Qiao Zijin's death had become her greatest regret. Even her divorce from Qiao Dongliang ranked below that. Without Qiao Zijin, Zhou Xing had become the only kin that Ding Jiayi cherished. Otherwise, she would not have called Qiao Nan to let her know of Zhou Xing's true identity.

"Alright. You should be clear of whether you did so or not, and I'm sure you know best who influenced Zhou Xing such that her judgment is so warped today. I can't be bothered to waste my time on you. I can't manage someone else's daughter, but I'll very well manage my own son!"

Initially, Qiao Nan had been prepared not to interfere in Er Bao's relationship. But now that she had found out that Zhou Xing was actually Zhou Ying, there was no way she could not interfere. This was her biological son they were talking about!

She could not be sure whether Zhou Xing had gotten together with Er Bao just to get revenge on her and how far Zhou Xing wanted to go with Er Bao. But no matter what plans Zhou Xing had, she had to stop them right then and there. She would have to make things right and let Er Bao know about the situation.

After hanging up on Ding Jiayi, Qiao Nan asked Minister Deng Wenchang for a long leave for the first time ever.

Because Qiao Nan worked all year and hardly asked for leave, Deng Wenchang was rather surprised. "Is something wrong with your health? It's rare for you to be applying for leave!" Although he said that, Deng Wenchang approved Qiao Nan's request at once.
