1053 ‘Borrowing’ of Clothes

After all, Nan Nan would belong to the Zhai family by then. Miao Jing was all smiles when she thought of it.

Zhai Hua drove and sent Qiao Nan home. She arrived in about ten minutes. “Should I send you in?”

“No need.” Qiao Nan shook her head. Why was there a need to? The most terrifying person had already left.

“Alright, bye then. When Zhai Sheng is back, come to our house again to have meals during the Lunar New Year.” Zhai Hua closed the car door and went home thereafter.

Upon hearing sounds at the door, Qiao Dongliang hurried over to open the door. “Nan Nan, you’re back?”

Qiao Dongliang seemed to be in a good mood. However, the speed at which he opened the door was too fast. This gave Qiao Nan a feeling that he was guilty-conscious.

“Yes,” Qiao Nan replied indifferently. “Dad, did you eat well during the day before the Lunar New Year’s eve yesterday?” Did you have a good day?

“Quite good.” At the thought of what happened last night, Qiao Dongliang frowned. A flash of annoyance came over him. He was considering whether to tell Qiao Nan about yesterday’s matter.

Qiao Nan sat down and took a glance at her bedroom. Her door had been opened…

Qiao Nan endured for a while before she stood up and went into her bedroom to look at the situation. On the surface, the things in her room appeared to be the same as when she left.

However, everyone had habits, and of course, it was impossible for Qiao Nan not to recognize her own habits.

Based on the blanket on the bed, Qiao Nan could differentiate that it was not folded in the way that she did before she left. Someone had folded it again.

Qiao Nan then searched her closet. When she found out that her clothes had obviously become less, Qiao Nan’s face turned stiff.

Qiao Dongliang, who felt the movements, followed over. He was so embarrassed that he did not know what to say. “I wanted to tell you just now. Your mom brought your sister and stayed over at our house yesterday. I… I didn’t want to let them stay over but your mom has twisted her ankle and she couldn’t walk. I wanted to send your mom back with the bicycle but my tires were punctured and fully deflated.”

In the Qiao family, only Qiao Dongliang had a model ’28’ bicycle. If this vehicle was spoiled, the Qiao family would be left with no other modes of transport.

“So, they slept in my room?” And even conveniently took her clothes?

Qiao Dongliang nodded helplessly. “I have divorced your mom. You also know that there aren’t many rooms in this small courtyard.” Even if there was a room, there wasn’t any extra blanket or bed. “So, your mom and sister slept in your room for a night. Your sister bathed yesterday but did not bring any clothes. She thus borrowed yours to wear. You were not at home, so…”

When he thought of the poor relationship between Qiao Nan and Qiao Zijin, Qiao Dongliang did not even think of giving Qiao Nan a phone call to seek her opinion.

Qiao Dongliang thought that Qiao Nan did not have many clothes but it was actually much more than before.

Given Qiao Nan’s situation, she might not discover it if one piece of clothing was missing. Even if she did, she probably would not take issue.

Qiao Dongliang did not expect Qiao Nan to have known what had happened. Within five minutes of arriving at home, she had discovered everything that he wanted to cover up. “Nan Nan, are you angry? I didn’t do it on purpose. I know you don’t like them…”

Qiao Nan took a deep breath. “Dad, it’s okay. I don’t like them but it’s fine if you do. Moreover, Dad, that set of clothing was given to me by my mother-in-law. Qiao Zijin’s taste is so good. She picked the good one over the rest. Dad, can I trouble you to get her to return the clothes to me as soon as possible? It’s not convenient for me to give her the clothing from my future mother-in-law. Also, doesn’t she find my clothing too small for her?”

Qiao Zijin had always been meatier and heavier than her. However, she was shorter than her by about one to two centimeters.

Once Qiao Nan said this, Qiao Dongliang felt his face burn with embarrassment. It was as if he was the one who had stolen Qiao Nan’s clothes without uttering a word.

Qiao Dongliang was a grown-up man. Certainly, he would not pay attention to such details.

He had never paid attention to which of Qiao Nan’s clothes were bought by Qiao Nan herself or given by Miao Jing.

If Qiao Nan did not mention it today, he really would not know that the clothes that Qiao Zijin took and wore this morning were a gift to Qiao Nan by Miao Jing.

How could the clothes gifted by Miao Jing to her daughter-in-law be cheap?

At the thought that Qiao Zijin was only borrowing the clothes but picked such a ‘good’ one, Qiao Dongliang felt shameful on Qiao Zijin’s behalf. “I… I didn’t know. Don’t worry. Your sister is just borrowing it for one day. She will definitely return it.”

Return it?

Qiao Nan scoffed at these two words.

Qiao Zijin had always been a petty and jealous person. In her previous life, Qiao Nan did not accept many gifts from Chen Jun, but there were a couple of them.

All those things—Qiao Zijin said that she was borrowing from her but when did she ever return them?

Even after Qiao Zijin was married to Chen Jun, she had never brought up the fact that she had borrowed those items before.

“Dad, let her wash it clean and return it to me by today. If the clothes are torn or lost, please get her to pay me back at the market price.” She was too experienced in being bullied. Qiao Nan told Qiao Dongliang clearly about all the possible scenarios.

Qiao Dongliang waved his hands, amused by Qiao Nan. “How can that be possible? Your sister’s temper is quite bad but she is not someone who will not return something after borrowing it. Nan Nan… Forget it. The two of you sisters are angry with each other. I won’t persuade you either. We are one family. I believe that things will become better. I will give your sister a call now and ask her to return the clothes. I will also definitely get her to wash them clean for you.”

Wasn’t it just a set of clothing?

Qiao Dongliang felt that this was not a big deal and the clothes were not too costly too. Qiao Zijin would not do such a shameless and embarrassing thing.

If the elder daughter lusted after the younger daughter’s clothes, that would be a huge joke. He did not believe that his daughter would be so improvident.

Moreover, Qiao Nan’s demeanor made Qiao Dongliang think that it was very normal that one should not be tempted by riches and honors. This was a good value that everyone should certainly have, especially people from his family who bore the surname of Qiao.

His younger daughter had done very well in this aspect. His elder daughter was also his daughter. She would certainly possess the same value.

Qiao Dongliang was very confident of Qiao Zijin. He called the small courtyard of the Qiao family in front of Qiao Nan. He even deliberately turned on the speaker to let Qiao Nan listen together. “Hello, Dad, is that you?”

Qiao Zijin’s voice was soft and sweet. It was as if she had reverted to the famous sweet-tongued, pretty, and smart Qiao Zijin from six years ago.

“Right, it’s me.” Qiao Zijin’s attitude had improved. It was unlike her disobedience when she brought Chen Jun over last time. Qiao Dongliang was delighted to see and hear that. “Zijin, you borrowed one set of Nan Nan’s clothing yesterday, right? Your mom and you should have arrived home by now. Have you changed the clothes and washed them? If you have, can I trouble you to make a trip to bring the wet clothes here to dry?”
