Chapter 1781: Who Bought the House?

Initially, she had never thought of selling that house for her kidney transplant. Qiao Nan was quite useless, but with some effort, two hundred yuan was not that difficult to attain.

But no one had expected that Qiao Nan would be so heartless and run away secretly with all that money that was meant for Qiao Zijin's treatment, all the while knowing that Qiao Zijin was waiting for her to save her life! If Qiao Nan had not created this mess, she would never have had to act so pitiful in front of a camera. She did indeed have the money to treat her illness, but hadn't Qiao Nan taken all of that money away with her?

There was no way she would touch that house.

"Qiao Zijin, would you like to answer this question personally? After getting a divorce, is it really true that you have absolutely nothing and have no means of saving yourself now that you have uremia?" The reporter did not answer Qiao Zijin and instead relentlessly pursued an answer from Qiao Zijin.

"What are you doing? Don't you know that Zijin's sick? Is this how you treat a patient? I looked for you guys because we're truly out of options. I didn't look for you to get questioned like a suspect. My daughter is sick and frail. What if you scare her and her condition deteriorates even further? I-I'll get you to take responsibility!" Ding Jiayi was guilty and angry all at once.

It was not as though she was a complete fool. She had understood what the reporter meant. The Qiao family still had a house that they could sell, and the money from the sale would be sufficient to pay for Qiao Zijin's treatment. Since they had the means to do so, why had they painted such a pitiful portrait of themselves in front of the camera? The house was not cash indeed, but it was worth some money and could be changed into cash.

If they sold it, would they not have money for the treatment?

The problem was that Ding Jiayi could not possibly say that she did not want to sell the house because she would have nowhere to live after selling the house. Ding Jiayi knew that once she said that, everyone who got to know her through this television program would spit at her in the future whenever she left her house.

Was her family's money money but other people's money not money? Did other people's money grow on trees?

What made Ding Jiayi even guiltier was that it was true that the Qiao family did not own just one property. The Qiao family's small courtyard was actually a rather big plot of land. Although it could not be demolished to make way for a new house, it was still located in a good location and would sell for a good price. But Qiao Zijin's apartment was an entirely different case. Not only was it big, but it was also in a good location and had the best amenities around.

Actually, Qiao Nan had wanted to buy that house for herself at that time. But knowing that Qiao Nan had been saving money for herself and had even made the down-payment for a house, Ding Jiayi was infuriated by the fact that Qiao Nan had been hiding money from her! Ding Jiayi had put in a tremendous amount of effort in wiping Qiao Nan completely dry. From then on, the moment Qiao Nan received her salary, Ding Jiayi would make a trip down to check on how much Qiao Nan had earned. Then, she would take everything from Qiao Nan, leaving nothing to Qiao Nan.

Later, when Ding Jiayi had told Qiao Zijin about this matter, Qiao Zijin thought about how she had nothing except for a pregnant belly when she married into the Chen family. A thought came into her mind. Instead of saving the money that Ding Jiayi had gotten from Qiao Nan, they might as well purchase that apartment that Qiao Nan had her sights on. It was just as well since she had no dowry anyway.

Qiao Zijin had simply done it on a whim. She had never even considered the location of the apartment or the company that was constructing the building. It did not matter to her since she was not the one paying the down payment, and neither would she be the one paying the mortgage in the future. No matter where the house was located, there was no way she would be on the losing end since this house was free anyway.
