Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ding Jiayi wasn’t young anymore. However, in this lifetime, she had never dealt with any serious matters independently before. When she was young, she relied on Qiao Dongliang. When Qiao Nan grew up, Ding Jiayi would push all the important matters to her. When these two people weren’t by Ding Jiayi’s side, Ding Jiayi panicked.

Thankfully, Ding Jiayi’s brain was still working. Indeed, she couldn’t contact Qiao Dongliang. However, she should be able to contact Qiao Nan. Without Qiao Nan’s help, she, who had ‘lost’ her identity card, wouldn’t have been able to return to Ping Cheng.

Upon thinking about this situation, Ding Jiayi felt that Qiao Nan wouldn’t ignore her. Furthermore, she was approaching Qiao Nan this time around not to find her trouble or for herself. Qiao Dongliang was her man and Qiao Nan’s biological father. Old Qiao was missing. As Old Qiao’s biological daughter, shouldn’t Qiao Nan care about Old Qiao’s situation?

Upon thinking that she could find Qiao Nan, Ding Jiayi immediately stopped panicking and her hands and legs no longer trembled. She dialed the Zhai family’s number quickly. “Hello, I’m looking for Qiao Nan. I’m her mom. Don’t worry. I’m not here to find her trouble. I just want to talk to her about her dad.”

Ding Jiayi could understand now that the Zhai family really hated her and Qiao Zijin. As long as she found Qiao Nan not for herself or for Qiao Zijin, the Zhai family’s attitude toward her wasn’t bad.

Ding Jiayi felt both helpless and angry that her in-laws, the Zhai family, couldn’t wait to not see her. What was different was that in the past, Ding Jiayi only knew how to be angry at Qiao Nan as she felt that she was too stupid. Qiao Nan told her in-laws all of her family’s scandals. The Zhai family would naturally not have a good impression of the Qiao family. The problem was that with such a lousy family, this wasn’t an honorable thing for Qiao Nan.

Was Qiao Nan really not worried that after the Zhai family knew how unreliable the Qiao family was and how Qiao Nan suffered in the Qiao family such that no one would stand up for her and seek justice, the Zhai family’s attitude toward her would change and become perfunctory?

In short, Qiao Nan was stupid for letting the Zhai family have a poor impression of the Qiao family, causing them to not be polite to them as in-laws. Based on the difference between the Qiao family and the Zhai family, of course the Qiao family would be taking advantage. Anyway, they wouldn’t be taking advantage of Qiao Nan. Shouldn’t Qiao Nan just let them take it?

To put it bluntly, she used to take advantage of Qiao Nan in the past. Qiao Nan didn’t dare to retaliate and would listen to her obediently. Didn’t she give her all her money?

Now that they were not taking Qiao Nan’s money, why was Qiao Nan so nervous for the Zhai family? If the Qiao family took advantage of the Zhai family, the Qiao family’s situation would improve day by day. If the Qiao family’s conditions became better, Qiao Nan’s position in the Zhai family would become more stable. At the very least, Qiao Nan wouldn’t be despised because her in-laws looked down on her own family.

It was obviously a win-win situation. Why didn’t Qiao Nan agree? Moreover, when her family was placed together with her in-laws, as the daughter of the Qiao family, shouldn’t Qiao Nan stand by her family’s side? No matter what, Qiao Nan was born and raised in the Qiao family. Without the Qiao family, how could Qiao Nan live until today, marry Zhai Sheng, and enjoy life as the chief’s wife?

Thankfully, these were all Ding Jiayi’s thoughts in the past. She no longer had such thoughts. She knew that the Zhai family didn’t like her. It shouldn’t be simply because Qiao Nan had said bad things about the Qiao family in front of the Zhai family.

There was no choice. Qiao Zijin had already surfaced in front of the Zhai family and made her presence known. Ding Jiayi could still deceive herself and others in the past about what kind of person Qiao Zijin was. Now, Ding Jiayi no longer dared to do so.

She went to the capital, but her money was taken away by Qiao Zijin. Even her identity card was detained by Qiao Zijin. If there was a next time, Ding Jiayi wasn’t sure what Qiao Zijin would do to her, the biological mother. It was better to live than die. Ding Jiayi never thought of dying. After sensing danger from Qiao Zijin, a normal person’s reaction would be to pursue good fortune and avoid disasters.

Ding Jiayi, who was no longer ignorant, knew what she should do when she called the Zhai family again. She knew what kind of tone should be carried and what kind of content should be shared such that her call would be handed over to Qiao Nan.

Ding Jiayi’s tone wasn’t as arrogant as before and the topic she mentioned wasn’t something that the Zhai family was averse to. Indeed, within a minute, the call was handed over to Qiao Nan. “Hello, I’m Qiao Nan. What’s the matter?”

Of course, Qiao Nan knew that she must be calling to take advantage of her. Otherwise, Ding Jiayi would never find her or keep in contact with her just because she was her daughter.

Upon hearing Qiao Nan’s voice, Ding Jiayi became distracted and she couldn’t react in time.

“Qiao Nan, this is Mom. The person you found today has already sent me to Ping Cheng. However, I realized that your dad’s missing. I just left for two days. That isn’t a long period. However, there’s no one at home. The kitchen’s clean and there’s even a layer of dust in the house. Qiao Nan, your dad’s missing and I don’t know where he went. What should we do? You have to take care of this matter. If you don’t, what will happen to your dad?”

After returning to Ping Cheng and realizing that Qiao Dongliang was ‘missing’, aside from calling the police, Ding Jiayi had no idea what to do at all. Ding Jiayi was really afraid that something happened to Qiao Dongliang or that he was kidnapped. If the police investigated this matter slowly, Qiao Dongliang might not be able to survive by the time they found his whereabouts.

Ding Jiayi didn’t want to leave and didn’t want to be an old widow when she was old. She just wanted to spend the rest of her life with Old Qiao peacefully. Why was that so difficult?

“…” Qiao Nan didn’t know what to say to Ding Jiayi. “You think my dad went missing? Why did you think so? Could it be that you didn’t think before that it’s not that he went missing but that he left?”

An hour after Ding Jiayi left Ping Cheng for the capital, Qiao Nan received Qiao Dongliang’s call. Qiao Dongliang had always been tolerating Ding Jiayi. This time, Ding Jiayi didn’t listen to his dissuasion. She obviously knew that Qiao Zijin’s illness was a trap but still looked happy to be led by the nose. Qiao Dongliang no longer wanted to reconcile with Ding Jiayi.

Qiao Dongliang wanted to live in a different place and no longer wanted to have dealings with Ding Jiayi. As his daughter, Qiao Nan didn’t have anything else to say besides being supportive. There was no choice.. Qiao Nan wasn’t willing to keep in contact with Ding Jiayi much either.
