Chapter 1771: "Good People" Live Short Lives

There was clearly a large empty room in their house, and Qiao Nan had done so much for the family over the years, even giving all of her earnings to her family. But in the end, after Zijin got married, they chased Qiao Nan out of their family home. They would much rather leave the room empty and let Qiao Nan spend a fortune renting a place for herself in an unfamiliar environment.

Because of their actions, it was no wonder that their neighbors wondered whether Nan Nan was truly Ding Jiayi's biological daughter.

Even Qiao Dongliang himself would have moments of doubt where he thought that his memory might have been hazy. Could it be that he had not seen Ding Jiayi personally giving birth to Nan Nan in the hospital and that Nan Nan was just a kid that he picked up from the streets?

Now that Qiao Nan had left in despair, Qiao Dongliang had finally returned to his senses. He had to make right whatever was wrong in his family. Even if he could not entirely correct it, he could no longer simply accept these wrong attitudes.

"I'm warning you to stop being so unreasonable. You've already made me lose a good daughter. You can deal with Zijin's matter in any way you like. I can't be bothered with it anymore. But I'm curious to see how you'll live your life without Nan Nan sacrificing her whole life for you. Don't disturb me. I'm sleepy. I'm going to bed."

Qiao Dongliang was truly too mentally exhausted to face Ding Jiayi now. At the sight of Ding Jiayi, he could not help but think about how Qiao Nan had been living her life all these years.

It was not until now that Qiao Dongliang finally came to a realization that he could act as though he knew nothing and lived a peaceful life because Qiao Nan had been suffering in silence. It was because Qiao Nan had chosen not to kick up a fuss or argue with the family that he could remain silent and unaware of everything around him.

If Qiao Nan had tried to stand up for herself just a little bit, his ideas would never have been realized.

After glancing coldly at Ding Jiayi, Qiao Dongliang returned to the room with a stone-cold expression and slammed the door behind him.

Ding Jiayi, who was seated on the floor, could feel the coldness of the ground. But at this very moment, she felt that her heart was much colder than the ground. "Sinned? What sins have I committed to have such a heartless daughter and a capricious husband? My Zijin. What will my Zijin do? Zijin's still young and has her whole life ahead of her. We're all a family. Do you mean they're all waiting to see Zijin die from her illness before they'll be happy?"

No, she could not let Zijin die. Zijin was her precious daughter.

Just as Ding Jiayi felt as though her future was bleak, her phone rang. The sight of the caller ID frightened Ding Jiayi so much that her hands started trembling, and she almost dropped the phone. "Zi-Zijin?"

"Mom, what's wrong? Why does your voice sound weird? Are you down with the flu?"

"N-No. I went to so many places today. I was probably out for too long, so I'm feeling a little unwell. I'm afraid that I might pass the flu to you if I were to take care of you. That's why I came home directly instead of going to the hospital to find you. I'll see if I really come down with the flu tomorrow before deciding whether to look for you at the hospital."

"All right, Mom. Oh right, have you settled Qiao Nan's matters?" Qiao Nan was extremely obedient to her mom. If her mom asked Qiao Nan to donate a kidney to her, Qiao Nan would probably not dare to refuse.

Qiao Zijin thought about how she would be able to undergo her kidney transplant soon and would even receive the compensation from that car accident from her mom once she was discharged. With that huge sum of money, she would be able to lead an unrestrained and carefree life! At the thought of all that, Qiao Zijin could not help but laugh.
