Chapter 2358: Breaking In (2)

When San Bao saw her mom eating, she couldn’t stop herself from salivating. “Ahhh!”

Qiao Nan saw right through her daughter. When she lifted San Bao with her arms, Qiao Nan frowned. “San Bao, it seems like you are gaining weight again. At this rate, Mom won’t be able to carry you anymore.”

San Bao had no idea what Qiao Nan was thinking. Her sparkling eyes were fixed on the bowl. Qiao Nan scooped up a spoonful of porridge and sent it to San Bao’s mouth. She was old enough to eat it.

San Bao clicked her tongue as she chewed on the porridge. It was soft and sweet, and San Bao liked the taste. She opened her mouth again, just like a chick waiting to be fed. Qiao Nan gave her about three spoonfuls, then brought her to the toys room to play Da Bao and Er Bao. “The two of you have to take care of San Bao. If I find any one of you bullying each other, you are going to be punished. Is that understood?”

There was no need for Qiao Nan to warn them. Da Bao and Er Bao would always give in to San Bao. As Qiao Nan spoke, Da Bao had already brought San Bao her favorite toy and left it in her arms. San Bao giggled as she tried to put the toy into her mouth. “San Bao, no biting.”

San Bao stopped the chewing for a while but continued after Qiao Nan got back to her breakfast. She knew that grandma and grandpa wouldn’t stop her from doing it.

Miao Jing ran her hands through San Bao’s hair. “Bad girl, it seems like you would only listen to your mother’s scolding. Am I too kind to you?” The three children were never so obedient under Old Zhai and Miao Jing’s care.

Er Bao and San Bao gave Miao Jing their brightest smiles, and Da Bao gave a toy to Miao Jing. It was like the children were trying to please their grandma to soothe her anger.

Miao Jing wasn’t really angry, to begin with, and the kids’ action blew her last bit of displeasure away. She looked at the children and gave each of them a kiss on the cheek. True enough, she had the prettiest and the most adorable grandchildren in the world.

Qiao Nan’s life was getting better day by day, but Qiao Zijin was running downhill these days. It was no wonder that Qiao Zijin thought of Qiao Nan as her nemesis.

Qiao Zijin clearly remembered the days that Qiao Nan suffered under Ding Jiayi’s oppression. The worse Qiao Nan’s life was, the better Qiao Zijin lived. Now, however, Qiao Nan had married Zhai Sheng and inherited a huge fortune from the Zhu family. It was no doubt that she was a winner in life. Looking back at her own life, it seemed like divorce, sickness, and poverty were all that she had. What angered her most was that Ding Jiayi was no longer on her side.

She had moved back to Ping Cheng for a month, and Ding Jiayi had yet to contact her. On the day she arrived in Ping Cheng, Ding Jiayi even locked her outside the door. Qiao Zijin felt her rage rising.

If it weren’t a rented house, Qiao Zijin would have smashed everything in sight.

Qiao Zijin had always been the one ignoring Ding Jiayi, and her mother used to do whatever she wanted. She thought of Ding Jiayi as an obedient dog that would run over with her tails swinging whenever she called. It’s been a month since Ding Jiayi stopped listening to her, and Qiao Zijin thought that she couldn’t let her mother get away with such an attitude.

“Are you sure that this is your house?” The locksmith asked again before working on the lock.

Qiao Zijin rolled her eyes. “Sir, this is Ping Cheng Residence. Would the guard let me in if I didn’t live here? This is where I grew up, and I just happened to lose my key. No one is coming home anytime soon; Otherwise, I wouldn’t be spending money on you. Do you really think I want to pay for a new lock?”

The locksmith would always ask his clients the same question. He couldn’t find fault in her words, but he didn’t understand why she had such a strong reaction. “Fine, I’ll start.” It wouldn’t hurt to double-check.

“Yes, please.”

Qiao Zijin folded her arms as she watched the locksmith work. Qiao Zijin couldn’t enter the house, but she did come by once in a while. Ding Jiayi hadn’t responded to her for seven days straight, so Qiao Zijin had an idea how mad her mother was.

Qiao Zijin didn’t care about what Ding Jiayi thought. She was merely worried about her expenses if she had to live outside.

Since her mother could change the lock, she figured that she could do the same.

Qiao Zijin knew that Ding Jiayi was out for groceries, and she wouldn’t return any time soon. Therefore, she called for the locksmith right away.

It didn’t take long for the skilled locksmith to do his job. After setting up a new lock, he took two hundred yuan and left.

With the keys in her hand, Qiao Zijin dragged her luggage into the courtyard. Although the lock had changed, she was happy to see that her room still looked the same. The only thing that put a frown on her face was the moldy stink coming from her sheets. It seemed like they hadn’t been washed in a long time.

Qiao Zijin’s room was the second biggest in the house, and everything in it belonged to her. She scanned around the room and found a few layers of cotton sheets lying around.

Yes, cotton.

It was June, and warm cotton sheets were obviously no use in this heaty weather.
