Chapter 1565: Asking For the Sky

Now that all these people who had treated his mother so badly in the past were starting to stick to her, Da Bao frowned uncomfortably. “Mom must be feeling terrible.”

“That’s right. When Nan Nan comes home later, if she doesn’t mention it, don’t ask her about it either. Find a way to coax her and lighten her mood.” Miao Jing nodded in agreement. If that happened to her, she would feel uncomfortable too.

She recalled that she had gone out to hide the moment Qi Minlan brought Qiu Chenxi home as a guest in the past. She had been so foolish to just accept it as it was.

But after all, Qi Minlan and Qiu Chenxi were outsiders. She had accepted this mother-daughter pair reluctantly, but if she was unwilling to meet them, she could choose to hide outside. But Qiao Nan was different. One was her elder sister, and the other was her mother. Where could Qiao Nan hide from these two people? She would never be able to hide from them for her entire life.

While the three children, whose hearts ached for their mother, wished they could hug their mother, their mother was now sitting in a tea house. Qiao Nan looked at both Qiao Zijin and Zhou Ying, who were sitting in front of her.

The last time she came to the tea house, Qiao Zijin’s attitude had been quite good and she had kept rather silent. But today, Qiao Zijin had reached her limit and her tone was sharp. After looking at her provocatively, Qiao Zijin burst out in dissatisfaction. “Qiao Nan, I really don’t mean to say anything about you. But why don’t you think about what your status is? If you really want to drink tea, why don’t you find a nicer place? Why do you still come to such a shabby tea house? Aren’t you afraid that other people will laugh at you? Even though my status is not as high as yours, I wouldn’t even go to such a place like this in Ping Cheng. Places like this are always dirty. You’ll get diarrhea if you eat anything here.”

“Spit it out if you have anything to say. If you’re really dissatisfied with this tea house, you have another choice. We’ll find a quieter part of the park to chat. That works too.” But in a place like that, there would be no tea to drink, and neither would there be any air-conditioning.

Qiao Zijin bit the corner of her lip and decided to give up. “Fine. Since you’re my younger sister, I’ll give in to you. Guests have to go along with their hosts. We’ll stay here if you say so.” She was no fool. How could she bring her daughter to sweat it out under the sun?

Qiao Zijin glanced at her daughter who was sitting next to her and started. “I’m here today to talk to you about a few things. Take note that I’m not here to ask for your approval. I’ve gotten a divorce from Zhou Zheng. From today onward, I’ll bring Ying Ying to the capital and we’ll live here. But you should know my situation well. Ying Ying and I need a place to stay. Remember. Our Ying Ying is used to having only the best. Our residence can’t be small. If it’s small, Ying Ying and I will feel claustrophobic.”

“And also, my health is not too good. My sleep quality is quite poor, so it has to be quiet where I stay. It’s best if there’s no disturbance coming from upstairs or downstairs. Anyway, I will definitely not accept a place like Mom’s, which is small and noisy. Next, Ying Ying is still young and needs to continue her studies. Our Ying Ying will not go to a normal school. If there’s nothing better, I guess she can settle for the school that the three children went to. Lastly, I can’t do without any money. Either you recommend me a comfortable job with a high salary, or just give me a living allowance. I still have a daughter to raise after all.”

Tussling Zhou Ying’s hair, Qiao Zijin sighed and hinted. “It’s not easy raising a child now. Even this hair tie that Ying Ying is using costs quite a lot, so our living allowance can’t be that little. It has to be at least four or five thousand at the very least.”

Qiao Zijin either kept her mouth shut or the moment she opened it, she immediately asked for an allowance that was a few times that of Ding Jiayi.

As Qiao Zijin went on with her monologue, Qiao Nan calmly sipped on her tea without cutting in or giving a response.

As such, Qiao Zijin was elated. “All right, that’s all I have to say. Hurry and arrange all these for me. Especially for the house, Ying Ying and I have to move in today. It’s too small over there at Mom’s. Ying Ying and I tolerated it for a night, but we’re definitely not going to do it again. You have quite a few houses on hand, don’t you? Hurry and arrange something for me.”

After hearing her mother’s words, Zhou Ying looked straight at Qiao Nan.

Even though she had been influenced by Qiao Zijin, Zhou Ying knew that even if she wanted to live like a princess, it would all depend on whether the pretty auntie sitting in front of her was willing to provide for her. But looking at Qiao Nan’s gaze, it did not seem like Qiao Nan was prepared to present them with such a gift. Even up until now, Zhou Ying had not dared to say hello to her auntie.

The slightly raised chin was the spitting image of Qiao Zijin’s when she was younger. Qiao Nan sighed. This young lady was indeed Qiao Zijin’s biological daughter.

She had heard that this child had been mainly raised by the Zhou family. Qiao Zijin had been busy enjoying her life as a young mistress, so she rarely paid any attention to her daughter. Even so, that arrogant and mysterious air of Zhou Ying was identical to the young Qiao Zijin’s. Qiao Nan had to admit that genetics was indeed impressive.

“Did you hear what I said? Since there’s still so much time left today, hurry and get it arranged for me. By the way, I have time today. To avoid any trouble in the future, why don’t you just bring me and Ying Ying to all the houses you have and let us pick the one that we want? This way, it’ll save us a lot of trouble in case our tastes differ from yours.”

At the same time, she would be able to get a feel of how many houses Qiao Nan had in the capital.

One person could only stay in one house at any given point in time. Would it not be a waste since Qiao Nan would not be able to stay in all her houses? Instead of letting them go to waste, why not do something that would benefit everyone? She would stay in one of Qiao Nan’s houses and change the owner of that house.

Honestly, there was no use for Qiao Nan to own so many houses. She was not even being greedy. She wanted only one. She was just trying to help Qiao Nan out by staying in one.

“Ha, hahaha.” Qiao Nan’s laugh was a textbook laugh. It was just for Qiao Zijin to hear. “I was right. You were the most lucid while you were still married. What’s more, your IQ even increased. Unfortunately, once you got pregnant, you became dumb for three years. After having a baby, it seems as though the IQ that went up has come crashing down completely. You haven’t even been able to retain whatever knowledge you gained in university. All right. I’ll go get the bill. Did you like drinking this tea?”

She had known long ago about how shameless Qiao Zijin was, but she had not expected Qiao Zijin to dip to a new low!
