Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Chapter 1770 - Guilty Conscience

Chapter 1770: Guilty Conscience

Indeed, two hundred thousand yuan was Qiao Zijin’s life-saving money.
However, Qiao Nan had sacrificed too much for this family and Qiao Zijin in the past. With the money Qiao Nan earned over the years falling into Qiao Zijin’s pockets, it was enough for Qiao Zijin to change several kidneys, let alone just one.
With this thought, Qiao Dongliang’s heart became calm. It wasn’t that easy to get the money from the car accident. His younger daughter had lost half her life! To put it bluntly, this was the money of his younger daughter’s life.
His younger daughter had already contributed her earnings from the past twenty years to the family. Could they still get her to leave behind all her life’s money to Qiao Zijin, her sister? There was no such reason.
“I knew it. You’re biased toward Qiao Nan and you don’t like Zijin. To think that Zijin always remembered you as her father in the past. Whenever there was something good in the Chen family, she would think about you and leave it to you. You don’t have any conscience. Qiao Nan’s just like you in this aspect. Don’t you know what situation Zijin is in? When Qiao Nan leaves, Zijin would neither have a kidney nor money. Do you want Zijin to die?!”
Ding Jiayi didn’t retaliate when Qiao Dongliang gave her a slap. Now that she heard Qiao Dongliang saying that she was not to go and find Qiao Nan in the future and take her money as it was right for Qiao Nan to take away all her earnings and compensation without leaving a single cent for the family, Ding Jiayi patted Qiao Dongliang’s back angrily and accused him of not caring about Qiao Zijin’s life and death.
Qiao Dongliang was someone who often worked. Even if he was already a grandfather, his strength would still surpass Ding Jiayi.
Qiao Dongliang didn’t get angry at Ding Jiayi and was holding back his temper as he knew that it wasn’t easy for Ding Jiayi to take care of Qiao Zijin during this period of time as well.
Now that Ding Jiayi was attacking him, Qiao Dongliang could no longer control himself and threw her to the ground. “Ding Jiayi, don’t go too overboard and force me to settle old scores with you. I’ve already seen what kind of place Nan Nan was living in for the past ten years. I didn’t mention it to save you some face. If you continue making trouble… Ding Jiayi, have you really forgotten my temper when I was young?”
She had let Nan Nan live in a place like that and even told him daily that even though the place was small, the entire house was only occupied by Nan Nan alone. No matter how small it was, it was still considered big to Nan Nan. Nan Nan was really leading an enjoyable life outside by having a whole house to herself.
It was precisely because of Ding Jiayi’s words that Qiao Dongliang was misled. He had always thought that although Qiao Nan’s rented house was small, it was still complete with a bedroom and a bathroom.
Qiao Dongliang didn’t dare to see what kind of environment Qiao Nan lived in as he felt guilty.
There were two daughters in the family. When they were young, Ding Jiayi’s and his plan was to introduce a son-in-law who would bear their family name to their elder daughter. The younger daughter would be married away sooner or later. As such, the difference between the two made Qiao Dongliang spend more time and effort on Qiao Zijin.
After the incident with Chen Jun, Qiao Dongliang felt unhappy in his heart. Based on the status disparity between the Chen family and the Qiao family, would Chen Jun be willing to be a son-in-law who bore the Qiao family name?
After Qiao Zijin got married to Chen Jun, Qiao Dongliang made up his mind. His elder daughter wouldn’t be able to bring in a son-in-law who bore the Qiao family name. Perhaps he should change his target to his younger daughter?
Who knew that at this time, Ding Jiayi said that whoever was willing to be a son-in-law who bore the bride’s family name was usually a good-for-nothing? If one was capable, he would be like Chen Jun. What was the use of bringing in a useless son-in-law?
Moreover, she wasn’t going to let Qiao Nan continue living at home and wanted her to move out. Firstly, Qiao Nan had already grown up and was of age to get married. It was good for Qiao Nan to have her own independent space. Secondly, the relationship between Qiao Nan and Chen Jun, the older son-in-law, was too sensitive.
After Qiao Zijin got married, she would have to often bring Chen Jun back to the Qiao family as a guest, right?
No matter the reason, even if it was only to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles, it was best for Qiao Nan and Chen Jun not to meet each other whenever possible. If Qiao Zijin brought Chen Jun back to the Qiao family, Qiao Nan couldn’t stay at home as it would be awkward. It wouldn’t be good if the brother-in-law got too close with the sister-in-law because tongues would wag.
In short, Qiao Nan and Chen Jun must avoid suspicion. Chen Jun was already a married man. He shouldn’t get too close with an unmarried woman like Qiao Nan. Even if Qiao Nan and Qiao Zijin were biological sisters, the relationship had to be clarified clearly without the slightest ambiguity.
Qiao Dongliang felt that Ding Jiayi’s words were not completely without reason. Qiao Dongliang was a man. He understood Chen Jun’s heart better than Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin did.
Qiao Dongliang didn’t know exactly how Chen Jun got together with Qiao Zijin and made her pregnant behind Qiao Nan’s back, but he could guess a little. Between the two, Qiao Dongliang believed that Qiao Zijin had unethically snatched away his younger daughter’s boyfriend and took the initiative to be with Chen Jun.
Men, especially young ones like Chen Jun, were weak in their abilities to hold themselves back. Anyway, he had foolishly got together with his elder daughter and even made her pregnant.
If not for his elder daughter being pregnant with Chen Jun’s child, in his opinion, Chen Jun clearly had deeper feelings for his younger daughter. It was estimated that Chen Jun had reached the age of wanting a child. The child in his elder daughter’s stomach led her to win against her biological sister.
Knowing that Chen Jun’s thoughts were still on Qiao Nan and that his feelings for her were true, what else could Qiao Dongliang do? He could only continue to be biased toward Qiao Zijin, agree to Ding Jiayi’s request, and let Qiao Nan move out.
After all, no matter how immoral his elder daughter was, she was already married and pregnant. One should destroy ten temples rather than ruin a marriage. For his elder daughter’s happiness in marriage, the small sacrifice his younger daughter had to make by moving out was worth it. To be honest, it wasn’t that big a deal to move out.
It was just right. After Nan Nan moved out, she would be free of Ding Jiayi’s control and gain more freedom.
The Qiao family’s courtyard wasn’t small. The house was big and complete with a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. However, even though the Qiao family had married a daughter off and the huge courtyard was left with only him and Ding Jiayi, Qiao Nan had moved away as well.
Qiao Dongliang kept comforting himself in his heart that this was to keep Qiao Zijin’s marriage safe. To let Qiao Nan move out was something small, and everything would be worth it.
However, in reality, Qiao Dongliang felt guilty when he had to face Qiao Nan. He felt that he wasn’t worthy of Qiao Nan to address him as her father.
