Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 2271-2280

Chapter 2271: Useful

The thought of Qiao Zijin's temper made Ding Jiayi's head hurt. She had worked hard the whole day, and in the end, she had ruined Qiao Zijin's plan. Leaving aside how she had worked in vain, she might even get a good scolding from Qiao Zijin. How terrible!

No wonder Old Qiao had remained indifferent even after hearing that Zijin had fallen ill. Perhaps, Old Qiao had already guessed that Zijin had faked her own illness.

Obviously, Qiao Zijin had no intention of answering Ding Jiayi's question. She had already made such a huge sacrifice, but Qiao Nan hadn't even taken the bait! In that case, how was she ever going to meet Qiao Nan, convince Qiao Nan to settle with Wang Yang, give up her inheritance, and not pursue the lawsuit?

If she didn't get to meet Qiao Nan, she wouldn't even be able to tell Qiao Nan all that.

"Mom, did you tell Qiao Nan that I contracted pneumonia? Mom, I'm so seriously ill. Just make a call and tell her to visit me." Qiao Nan would probably feel better seeing her in such a sorry state. Then, it would be even easier to discuss the matter.

"No, I'm not calling them." Ding Jiayi refused. "While you were ill, I kept calling the Zhai family. That family is really vicious. They knew that I have a Ping Cheng card, and they picked up every time but refused to say anything. Do you know that I have less than ten yuan in my phone card now?"

It would just be giving those people another opportunity to waste her money if she made another call.

She had intended on getting Qiao Nan to pay for all of her expenses this time, including Zijin's medical expenses and whatever she would need to nourish herself afterward. But Ding Jiayi couldn't even get through to Qiao Nan! She even had to fork out a hundred yuan to top up her phone card!

"Mom, just try making a call. I think they might have thought that we were lying. They might not have known that I was really sick with pneumonia. We're all relatives. How could Qiao Nan not visit me when I'm so seriously ill? Mom, I know that it's hard on you, but try to tolerate it for my sake. Qiao Nan's living so well now. After you and Dad pass away, I'll have to rely on Qiao Nan. I can't afford to have a strained relationship with her. We're sisters, after all."

Before making this trip to the capital, Qiao Zijin had already made up her mind. She would try her best not to provoke Qiao Nan. That way, there would still be room for discussion. Just as she had said, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Dongliang were already advanced in age and might pass away at any moment. Then, Qiao Zijin wouldn't have many relatives left.

Amongst them, Qiao Nan was the one who gave her the most security, and Qiao Nan was the only one whom Qiao Zijin felt that she could rely on.

That was why Qiao Zijin had decided to hurt herself instead of stirring up trouble for Qiao Nan. She was counting on her younger sister, Qiao Nan, to take care of her once Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi passed on.

As for her son, Chen Feng, she wanted him to live well. So, there was no way she was going to become a burden to him. Supporting him would be Qiao Nan's responsibility. Qiao Nan probably wouldn't refuse to spend a little money on her once she grew older. After all, she couldn't possibly leave her sister to starve to death.

"I can't do anything." Ding Jiayi refused without any hesitation. "Qiao Nan doesn't even think of herself as my daughter or as your sister anymore. I think Qiao Nan might burst out in laughter if she hears your ideas. Sisters? A daughter? Qiao Nan is not acknowledging any of us now. If not for the blood ties between us, Qiao Nan wouldn't even bother about us now. Zijin, you'd better sober up. None of your dreams will become reality."
