“I was using Feng Feng to provoke Qiao Nan and laugh at her failure. Not only did she have to take care of a child that caused her to break up with you, but she even had to treat him well. I only did that to make Qiao Nan suffer and prove to her that my life was better than hers. It was to remind her to be obedient to me and not try to rebel against me.”

Chen Feng’s existence was like Chen Jun being snatched away by Qiao Zijin. They were both great shames in Qiao Nan’s life.

Chen Jun had asked Qiao Nan to face her own shame and to show concern for him. Wasn’t it truly ridiculous that he had come up with such an idea?

“Don’t put it that way and make me sound like an idiot. Didn’t you say that you once thought of getting Qiao Nan to marry me and be Feng Feng’s stepmother so that I would get my way and Feng Feng would be well taken care of? Don’t you think that that idea is even more stupid?”

To Feng Feng, Qiao Nan was his younger aunt.

There was nothing wrong with an aunt looking after her nephew. But it was ridiculous to expect a woman to marry her brother-in-law just to take care of her nephew. This was not a historical drama series! How could Qiao Zijin think of such an impractical and unrealistic plan? Qiao Zijin truly had no right to be so proud in front of Chen Jun.

Talk was cheap. Anyone could do that.

“We’re the same. Stop using such sarcasm. Do you want to join in for the meal?” Was she going to help him out so that he would have a chance to meet Zhai Sheng?

Qiao Zijin sighed. “Even if I want to help you, I’m in no place to do it. If you’re in a good place, Feng Feng will prosper in the future. Even if it’s for Feng Feng’s sake, I should help you. You’re no longer my husband, but Feng Feng is still my son.”

“It’s good that you know that.” Chen Jun breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Qiao Zijin would think that she was of a higher status now that Qiao Nan had married Zhai Sheng and would be arrogant in front of him. That would make it difficult to implement his plan.

Qiao Zijin had not gone over her head just because Zhai Sheng was her brother-in-law. She still had a little bit of common sense left.

“So…” Chen Jun wanted to ask when Qiao Zijin would arrange for the meal since she was going to help out in this matter, even if it was just for the sake of her son, Feng Feng, and not him.

But Qiao Zijin’s words were a slap in Chen Jun’s face. She told Chen Jun not to count his eggs before they hatched. “But you know about my relationship with Qiao Nan. She doesn’t like you and your relationship with her might be different now. Qiao Nan is no longer as gullible and easily manipulated. If she was, would there have been such a huge scandal when I had contracted uremia in the first place? Qiao Nan has changed. In the past, she only treated you as a brother-in-law, but now, she might not even be willing to acknowledge me as her sister.”

Before Qiao Nan had gotten married to Zhai Sheng, she had listened to Qiao Zijin well and had always helped her out. But after getting married to Zhai Sheng, she had the power and ability to help her even more, but she refused to even acknowledge her family. She wouldn’t even help her get a lowly civil service job. That was why she was still unemployed.

How would a Qiao Nan like that agree to have a meal with her or even bring Zhai Sheng along?

If it was so easy, would she still be in such a struggle that she would even bother talking to Chen Jun? She would have taken advantage of her status as Qiao Nan’s sister, moved in with the Zhai family, and gotten close to them and Zhai Sheng to lay a solid foundation for her marriage to Zhai Sheng.

“Why don’t you give it a try? How would you know that you’ll fail if you don’t even try? Qiao Nan is not such a heartless person.” Apart from the fact that Qiao Nan had rejected his request for reconciliation and had even found someone to beat him up, the Qiao Nan he knew was a softhearted and family-oriented woman. The Qiao Nan that Qiao Zijin described was too foreign to Chen Jun.

“He…” Bystanders were able to see the full picture the clearest. Somehow, after speaking with Chen Jun, Qiao Zijin had a slight realization that her plan and goal seemed a little ridiculous. Qiao Nan refused to see her because of the same reason she refused to see Chen Jun. If Qiao Nan couldn’t accept Chen Jun, she might not accept her elder sister either.

But she was different from Chen Jun. Chen Jun had no blood relations with Qiao Nan, so it was natural for her to kick him to the side. She was different. She and Qiao Nan shared the same parents. Based on this alone, she was a thousand times better than Chen Jun. “Fine. Since you’re so persistent, I’ll see if I can help you out. But it won’t be so soon.”

“Why?” Since she had already agreed to help out, she should do it straight away. Did she have to check the calendar and find an auspicious date?

The corners of Qiao Zijin’s lips curled up into a cold sneer. “Do you really not know, or are you pretending to be dumb? You dared make this call without even knowing Qiao Nan’s condition? You’re really quite bold. No, where did your confidence come from? Qiao Nan has been married to Zhai Sheng for almost a year. Even an idiot would know that Qiao Nan is pregnant with Zhai Sheng’s child. She’s about to give birth. Do you think she’ll have time for a meal with her ex-brother-in-law?”

Given Qiao Nan’s current status, no one would be able to invite a pregnant lady like Qiao Nan out for a meal, unless he was an extremely important official. There was no way Qiao Nan would bother about Chen Jun, with whom she had such a complicated relationship.

“She’s about to give birth?” Chen Jun had not expected that at all. After that rejection, Chen Jun had chosen to ignore all news regarding Qiao Nan, especially after Qiao Nan had gotten married to Zhai Sheng.

If not for the fact that he had gotten into some trouble recently and needed help from Zhai Sheng, he was prepared never to contact the Qiao family again. Anyway, Zhu Chengqi wouldn’t last for very much longer. He had played an important role in helping Wang Yang secure the Zhu family’s assets. Wang Yang had already promised him that he would help him out then.

As such, Chen Jun preferred to follow Wang Yang.. After all, he had paved that road for himself step by step.
