Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Chapter 1778 - Willing?!

Chapter 1778: Willing?!

After he sobered up, Chen Jun did not take this matter to heart. He had just slept with Qiao Zijin for a night. There was no big deal about that. After all, he had spent the night with countless other women in the past. After that night, he had even compensated Qiao Zijin heftily, reminding her that that would be the end of their relationship. He had even reminded Qiao Zijin to eat a contraceptive afterward.
But who would have known that he would fail miserably in such a simple task? Not only had Qiao Zijin done the exact opposite of what he had instructed her to do by not consuming contraceptives, but she had even been in cahoots with the Qiao family to force Qiao Nan to break up with Chen Jun on the basis that she was pregnant. Thus, he had no choice but to marry Qiao Zijin.
Because of his relationship with Wang Yang, Father Chen quickly rose in ranks. After all, reputation was still very important as a new official. Chen Jun had been dating the younger sister and had even set a date for their wedding, but he had gotten the elder sister pregnant! If word were to get around, the Chen family’s reputation would be in ruins. As such, asking Qiao Nan to back down and letting Chen Jun marry Qiao Zijin was already the best outcome there was.
The Chen family understood from the beginning that Qiao Nan was the only good person in the entire Qiao family. The other three, especially Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin, were all slackers. One who was down did not need to fear falling down. Once Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi started creating trouble, the Chen family would suffer great losses. In fact, the Chen family might very well lose everything they had gained after much difficulty thanks to Wang Yang because of this scandal involving Qiao Zijin!
After losing such a good daughter-in-law only to fetch a slacker home, there was not a single person in the Chen family who took a liking to Qiao Zijin. After the child was born, Mother Chen immediately took over the responsibility of raising that child for fear that Qiao Zijin would bring the child astray.
Qiao Zijin did not mind that at all and even felt more relaxed since she did not need to take care of her child. Every month, Chen Jun would give her a monthly allowance, and all she needed to take care of was dressing up, having fun, and living a comfortable life as the mistress of the family.
The more Qiao Zijin acted in this manner, the more displeased Mother and Father Chen were with her. When Qiao Zijin was caught in the act of committing adultery, the Chen family unanimously agreed that the couple should get divorced even if Qiao Zijin argued against it. In actual fact, the Chen family had long been waiting for this moment. They had always wanted to seize upon the chinks in Qiao Zijin’s armor so that they could end this unsuitable and ill-fated marriage between Qiao Zijin and Chen Jun.
But what the Chen family had never counted on was for Qiao Zijin to be so vicious and unreasonable like a white-eyed wolf!
After their divorce, the Chen family thought that they had finally gotten rid of Qiao Zijin and would not have anything to do with her anymore. But Qiao Zijin getting on the news almost drove the Chen family to their graves, especially Mother Chen, who was immediately sent to the hospital after her blood pressure had shot up. In the moment that she was transported into the ambulance, Mother Chen exhausted the last of her energy grabbing onto Chen Jun’s hand, telling him that they could go to any hospital but the one where Qiao Zijin was.
Otherwise, sending her to the hospital would not save her. Quite on the contrary, it would drive her to her grave!
Although Mother Chen’s health quickly stabilized and she was able to return home, her mood had never improved since then. Because Mother Chen spoke brusquely, Father Chen was enraged too. “Qiao Zijin is already in the news. I don’t think our relationship with Qiao Zijin can remain hidden for much longer.”
When that time came, everyone in Ping Cheng would know about what kind of character Qiao Zijin had to be able to have an affair behind his son’s back, humiliating the Chen family. At the thought of that, Father Chen could not help but regret allowing his son to chase Qiao Nan so that he would be able to rise in ranks at that time. If his son had never gotten to know Qiao Nan, would they have fallen into Qiao Zijin’s trap?
He could not wrap his mind around how such a good young lady like Qiao Nan could have such a dysfunctional and abnormal mother like Ding Jiayi, and sister like Qiao Zijin!
“Wrong, wrong, wrong. Every single step we’ve taken has been wrong! At that time, we should never have allowed Qiao Zijin to marry into our family even if she had been pregnant with Chen Jun’s child. She’s capable of snatching the fiancé of her biological younger sister. What else would she not be capable of? Even if it might have affected our Chen family’s reputation, as long as we handled it well and salvaged the situation, with Qiao Nan’s forgiveness and her standing out to speak up for us, that incident might not even have had any impact on my standing!”
But one was just a possibility, while the other was a certainty. As such, they had foolishly chosen the certainty at the point in time and had given up the possibility. At that time, he truly lacked foresight. A troublemaker like Qiao Zijin should not have been allowed into the family!
But it was too late to regret it now. The Chen family had been severely discredited just because of their ex-daughter-in-law, Qiao Zijin. At this time, Father Chen viewed Chen Jun and his wife with a similar gaze: one filled with fury. His son had never lacked any women by his side, so why had he chosen Qiao Zijin of all people? Did he not know about how Qiao Zijin was related to Qiao Nan?
Ancient people were spot-on when they said that lust was dangerous.
But when Father Chen thought about how Qiao Zijin was not even that outstanding in terms of her appearance, he had to resist the urge to kill Chen Jun. He was destined for great things but could not even keep his pants in check. There was no wonder why his son was now being plagued by Qiao Zijin and had even dragged the whole family down with him. With their hands tied and with no chance to perform, their days were only getting from bad to worse.
“All right. It’s too late to be saying these things now. Why don’t we talk about how to resolve this problem? How much face must we lose before this matter will finally die down?” Mother Chen asked wearily. “Juner, it’s already been two days. Have you thought of a solution?”
Chen Jun, who had been silent this whole time, burst out like a frustrated beast. “If killing someone was not illegal, the best way would be simply to make Qiao Zijin disappear from this planet.”
“…How about something else?” Mother Chen rubbed her temples. This method was not feasible since it would be knowingly going against the law. He should not even have brought it up.
“I’ve contacted the Qiao family. Although it was Ding Jiayi who said it, I’m guessing that Qiao Zijin was the one who came up with the idea.” No one was as regretful as Chen Jun. After all these years, Chen Jun had never really entirely given up on Qiao Nan.
Besides, he had not really liked Qiao Zijin anyway. He had only married Qiao Zijin because of his child in Qiao Zijin’s stomach. After getting married, Chen Jun had just as many women outside as he had had while he had still been in college because he had married a woman whom he did not like. But Chen Jun was brilliant and discreet about it. How could Qiao Zijin have found out about it if Qiao Nan herself had never even suspected a thing?
With such a colorful life and with different women in his embrace every night, Chen Jun could not help but wonder if his life would still be in such a state if he had never slept with Qiao Zijin and had instead married Qiao Nan.
When Chen Jun asked himself this rhetorical question, he realized that his answer was actually that he was willing!
