Rebirth to a Military Marriage : GOOD MORNING CHIEF

Chapter 316 - 320

Chapter 316: Wolfish Years

Just like she and Qiao Nan, Qiao Nan might seem to have the upper hand, but it would not last long. She would be the one who had the last laugh.

“Let’s hurry back. Wrap your clothes tightly around you. You don’t want to catch a cold.” Ding Jiayi put the topic of Wang Yang aside. Anyway, Wang Yang was not her son. It did not matter to her whether he was successful or not.

When they finally went back to the Qiao family’s residence at the quad, the first thing Ding Jiayi did was to boil hot water for Qiao Zijin’s foot bath so that she could warm her body.

While Ding Jiayi was busy boiling the water, Qiao Zijin went back to her room quietly. She took out a book and a pen, and wrote down a few English words on the book.

If Qiao Nan was there, she would realize that the few words that Qiao Zijin memorized were none other than the title of the book that Zhu Chengqi gave her at the dining table.

After checking through several times to make sure that she did not spell it wrong, she closed the book and decided to ask around when school reopened next year. She wanted to know what book that was, and why was Qiao Nan so interested in the book that she asked a favor of Uncle Zhu and Zhu Baoguo to find it for her.

If it was just an ordinary book, it meant that what Qiao Nan did at the dining table today was deliberate, and her purpose was to embarrass her.

Qiao Zijin only had a few chances to look at the book, but in such a short period of time, she managed to memorize the title of the book correctly. It showed that Qiao Zijin was smart, but she never used her intelligence in the right places.

“What are you doing? Come and soak your feet before going to bed. If you want to read, do it tomorrow.” Ding Jiayi could not help but sigh when she thought of Qiao Nan’s transcript that recorded her good results and Qiao Zijin’s transcript that paled in comparison.

Since a young age, Qiao Zijin was smarter than Qiao Nan. Why was it that Qiao Nan would always surpass her in terms of studies?

When she was pregnant with Zijin, Old Qiao always said that he hoped for a son who was smart and had good academic performance. Besides not being a boy, Qiao Nan matched Old Qiao’s description of a perfect son.

If only Qiao Zijin’s results were as good as Qiao Nan’s, then it would be good.

That way, even if she had any conflicts with Old Qiao, Old Qiao would give in to her and treat her well on account that Qiao Zijin was closer to her mother.

Qiao Nan, that wretched girl, did not see her as her mother at all. Now that Old Qiao had moved out with Qiao Nan, Qiao Nan might be happy that there was one less person to keep a check on her.

“Mom, why do you keep sighing?” Qiao Zijin pulled a long face. When she was at the Zhu family’s residence, she was not that unhappy as compared to now. “Why did you have that expression and use that tone on me when you brought up the topic of me reading a book?”

“I didn’t mean anything by it. I just feel that you are too hard on yourself. Don’t tire yourself out. In the past six months, I can tell that you have put in a lot of effort. Look at you, your face is getting smaller. Zijin, as long as you have done your best, you shouldn’t be too hard on yourself.”

Actually, Ding Jiayi felt very depressed. For the past half a year, she could tell that Qiao Zijin had studied very hard. But in the end, her results did not show much improvement.

Qiao Nan scored so well even though she was never seen studying at home. Why was it that when Qiao Zijin put her efforts into her studies, she still ended up with average results?
