Qiao Nan had to get someone to show her around the capital. As for the expenses, Qiao Nan would have to pay for it. It had nothing to do with her.
Qiao Nan had to pay for her transport to and fro as well.
Now that Qiao Nan was married and led a pampered life, she must not forget that her parents were not well-to-do. Since her mother was in the capital, no matter how unwilling she was, Qiao Nan had to fork out some money to take care of her.
In short, Ding Jiayi had it all planned out. She would make the trip to attend the one-month-old celebration of the triplets. She would use Qiao Nan’s money to prepare gifts for the triplets so that it would look good on the Qiao family. After she was done with feasting and traveling around the capital, she would get another sum of money from Qiao Nan as a token of appreciation.
Everyone was more than willing to take up such a task.
Therefore, Ding Jiayi was dying to attend the one-month-old celebration of the triplets and she had to go.
She would treat it as a compensation for not being able to go to the capital and spend Qiao Nan’s money during the summer break.
Although Qiao Dongliang could not tell what Ding Jiayi was up to, given her attitude and that they had been married for more than twenty years, he could tell that she must be up to no good. She sounded so happy at the mention of attending the triplets’ one-month-old celebration. She must be thinking of taking advantage of Qiao Nan.
Otherwise, given that the triplets were Qiao Nan’s babies, Ding Jiayi would definitely be angry and jealous that she had such a good life. Even if she had changed her attitude toward Qiao Nan, she would not feel so thrilled at the thought of going to the capital.
Qiao Dongliang was unable to attend the one-month-old celebration of the triplets as he had to work and he felt inferior in front of the Zhai family. As for Ding Jiayi, she did not attend because Qiao Dongliang stopped her from going.
He might not be able to make it look good on his younger daughter and his grandchildren, but he could not allow Ding Jiayi to make things difficult for them.
Previously, Qiao Dongliang did not make a phone call to explain to her. He kept silent and felt that things were over and there was no need to bring it up.
However, now that he made the phone call, Qiao Dongliang wanted to make use of the chance to bring it up and explain to Qiao Nan why he did not go to the capital at the end of October.
“Dad, say no more. I understand.” Qiao Nan interrupted Qiao Dongliang. She would feel more at ease if her father did not explain to her. She was upset that he waited until now to give her an explanation. “Dad, you must have received the money. Buy more good food for yourself for the Lunar New Year. We will let you know when we will go back to Ping Cheng. I will give you a phone call later. Dad, I have to go. The triplets will be waking up anytime soon. They will cry if I am not around.”
Qiao Nan hung up the phone without further ado. Qiao Dongliang felt dejected.
Although Qiao Nan said that she understood, Qiao Dongliang knew that she was angry.
Qiao Dongliang was in a panic that his daughter was angry with him. Although he felt forlorn, he could do nothing about it. He knew that although he was the father, his younger daughter had the right to be angry with him.
Qiao Dongliang was helpless with this dead-knot situation.
“What’s wrong? You look like your mom has just passed away. Did you talk on the phone with the wretched girl? She must have lost her temper at you.” Ding Jiayi noticed that Qiao Dongliang looked gloomy when she walked into the room. She gloated at him and made disdainful remarks. “I have told you long ago what kind of person that wretched girl is, but you refused to listen to me and allowed yourself to be fooled by her. Now that she is leading a good life, she will not remember that her parents are not doing well. No matter how heartbroken you are, she will not be bothered with you.”
At the mention of this, Ding Jiayi felt as if her heart was dripping blood.
It was such a waste to get people to send the three golden bangles that were worth a few thousand yuan to the capital.
The presents that Old Qiao bought might be expensive, but the wretched girl did not appreciate them. If he had extra money to prepare presents for the wretched girl, he should have saved them up to prepare a dowry for Qiao Zijin when she got married.
Ding Jiayi had many friends. She heard a lot from them about what one needed to prepare when the daughter or the son was getting married. Ding Jiayi already had in mind what she would prepare for Qiao Zijin when she decided on the date and was getting married.
Ding Jiayi had a lot of ideas in mind. She wanted to give Qiao Zijin a perfect wedding.
However, she had to wake up to reality.
Now that she did not have any money and the perfect wedding that she had in mind would require lots and lots of money, Ding Jiayi’s dreams were shattered to pieces.
Money, money, money!
Everything needed money.
She was angry at herself for not being able to print banknotes. They did not have any money, yet Old Qiao wasted the hard-earned money on the wretched girl. If he had the money, he should not waste it on the wretched girl.
“Now that the wretched girl is leading a good life, she is very stingy with us. It is no wonder people say that rich people are stingy. From the looks of it, she has totally forgotten about her parents who brought her to the world and took care of her. She does not appreciate us for our efforts. Such a heartless girl will suffer retribution sooner or later.”
Ding Jiayi was getting riled up.
That day, she made a call to Qiao Nan, telling her the amount of money that Old Qiao spent to buy the golden bangles.
Ding Jiayi exaggerated the amount spent so that she could stand to gain.
After the call, Ding Jiayi waited at home for Qiao Nan to send the money to her. After getting the money, she would return the amount that Old Qiao spent on the bangles to him. She would keep the rest of the money for herself so that Old Qiao would not notice that anything was amiss. It would be Qiao Nan’s way of being filial to her.
In that case, Ding Jiayi would not have any qualms about keeping the extra money.
She was not worried that Qiao Nan would bring up this matter to Qiao Dongliang. She knew that even if they really talked about this matter, they would not speak of the exact amount. They would only make a passing remark about it.
To her surprise, Ding Jiayi did not receive a single cent of money. She made the phone call when Qiao Nan was still pregnant with triplets. Qiao Nan had already given birth to them and they were already teething. It seemed as if Qiao Nan had totally forgotten about the phone call.
Since Ding Jiayi exaggerated the amount of money spent, she was not bold and daring enough to demand the money from Qiao Nan. Furthermore, she had to keep it a secret from Qiao Dongliang. If he discovered it, he would demand an explanation from her. After all the things that happened in the Qiao family, Ding Jiayi was quite fearful of Qiao Dongliang.
