Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

After the Qiao family of three appeared, Miao Jing did not interrupt much of their conversation. She was thinking that no matter what, they had to say hello to Qiao Nan and chit chat a little.However, Miao Jing was surprised that besides Qiao Dongliang, Qiao Zijin, Ding Jiayi, and Qiao Nan had reached the stage whereby they had nothing to talk about. That was truly ‘amazing’. “You came here all of a sudden. We didn’t prepare anything at all. Have you found a place to stay?”

There were extra bedrooms in the Zhai family’s residence but not many. There was only about one or two.

Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi’s relationship was too complicated and the pair could not sleep in the same room. In that case, Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi would have to sleep together in one room whereas Qiao Dongliang alone in another room.

However, given what the Qiao family had done before, Miao Jing was extremely unwilling to let them stay in her house. This time, Miao Jing felt very helpless that the Qiao family of three came to the capital. She gathered that it was most likely because of Qiao Nan’s earlier phone call to Qiao Dongliang to inform him of Zhai Hua’s marriage.

Given the relationship between the Qiao family of three and Qiao Nan, since Qiao Nan’s sister-in-law was getting married, the Qiao family could just politely send one person to attend the wedding. That would be enough. No matter what, it was quite a distance between Ping Cheng and the capital.

Last year, the Qiao family of three did not appear during the triplets’ full-month celebration, their hundred days’ old celebration, and even their first birthday party. As such, even if they continued to do the same, Miao Jing expressed that she was already used to it.

However, the Qiao family of three acted abnormally and came together this time. Miao Jing felt a little uneasy at heart.

Upon hearing Miao Jing’s words, Ding Jiayi laughed heartedly. “Indeed, we came here in a rush. Zhai Hua is getting married. As elders, we certainly should come and attend the wedding banquet as well as give our blessings to Zhai Hua. As for accommodation, most likely, we have to trouble in-laws to help us arrange. We are not picky. You may just casually arrange two bedrooms for us. The size doesn’t matter.”

Due to Qiao Zijin, Ding Jiayi knew that property prices in the capital were terribly high. It was certainly not cheap to rent a room, even a double-bed room for one night.

Given Ding Jiayi’s stingy character, how could she be willing to throw her money into this?

After arriving in the capital, the Zhai family was the host. It was reasonable for the host to take care of them properly. Furthermore, besides the Zhai family who was their in-law, Qiao Nan was their biological daughter.

The biological parents and sister had come to the capital. Ding Jiayi did not believe that Qiao Nan would be as unreasonable as when she was in Ping Cheng and let the family of three wander on the streets and sleep on the bridge.

Qiao Dongliang’s face turned red. “In-law, don’t listen to her. We came here in a hurry but we can arrange our own accommodation. Zhai Hua is getting married. Your family is very busy at this point in time. Forget it if we can’t provide any help. We can’t add on to your troubles. Don’t worry. We will settle our own accommodation.”

Initially, Qiao Dongliang intended to find the accommodation and buy some gifts before coming to the Zhai family.

However, they had finally arrived in the capital and could see his maternal grandchildren soon. In addition, under the cajoling by Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi, Qiao Dongliang succumbed to temptation and immediately came to the Zhai family’s residence to see his grandchildren. He absolutely did not intend to take advantage of the Zhai family.

If he were to do that, it meant that he was not giving his daughter face. Nan Nan would not be able to lift her head in front of the Zhai family then.

When Qiao Dongliang said that, Miao Jing’s expression eased a little. “It’s not easy to find accommodation in the capital. I will get someone to settle this for you.” If she were to allow the Qiao family of three to remain in her own house, Miao Jing was afraid that she would feel upset. She was more fearful that Qiao Nan would feel unhappy.

Qiao Dongliang was right in some of his words.

Zhai Hua was getting married and the Zhai family was very tied up. They could not split themselves.

When the Qiao family of three appeared at this juncture, Miao Jing would count her blessings if the Qiao family did not create trouble and affect their works in progress, let alone help them.

Ding Jiayi’s past reputation and honor were too poor. She had even wanted to steal the money of her own daughter, Qiao Nan. There was a lot of valuable stuff in the Zhai family. Miao Jing would not take issue if just a little stuff went missing. She was most worried that if any of the ‘missing’ items belonged to Zhai Hua, who was getting married, this marriage would not be as wonderful.

Qiao Nan agreed with Miao Jing’s view. “Let me make this call.” Qiao Nan did not call the hotel directly but looked for Gao Yan instead.

Due to Fang Fang, Gao Yan was aware of the situation of the Qiao family. He quickly helped Qiao Nan reserved two rooms.

“Alright.” Qiao Nan copied the address and contact number before passing it to Qiao Dongliang. “When you go back later, I will get the chauffeur to send you. However, it’s better that you keep this address and telephone number, in case you encounter any problem and can’t find the place.”

Ding Jiayi’s expression turned stiff. “What do you mean by this? We’ve not seen each other for a few years. Don’t you miss me at all? Do you still treat me as your mom?” She had not even warmed up her seat and this white-eyed wolf could not wait for her to scram. She was so heartless.

“Cough…” Qiao Zijin coughed twice to remind Ding Jiayi not to reveal that unreasonable side of her each time she met Qiao Nan.

Ding Jiayi restrained her expression. Her angry look disappeared and the corners of her lips even curled up. “During wintertime, the weather is too dry. Hence, I feel very hot. Nan Nan, don’t mind me. Mom is not directing my anger at you. Don’t misunderstand Mom. We’ve not seen each other for so long. Initially, I was thinking of having a good chat with you since we have finally met. You can let me know how you are doing recently, whether you are happy or not. Nevertheless, your opinion is the most important. No matter what arrangements you make, Mom will listen to you.”

If they were not staying at the Zhai family’s residence, so be it. This house was not built with gold anyway. It was not as if she could extend her lifespan by one year with every night that she stayed.

Sizing up the Zhai family’s residence in the capital, which was bigger than the small courtyard of the Qiao family in Ping Cheng, Ding Jiayi felt so envious.

However, after so many years, Ding Jiayi still could not understand what was so good about such a dim-witted and dull child like Qiao Nan.

What did the Zhai family see in Qiao Nan? They treated and cherished this white-eyed wolf so much like a treasure.

On the contrary, her beloved Zijin had poorer luck in this area. After much difficulty, she finally found Chen Jun, who was very much lacking in comparison to Zhai Sheng, but the relationship was still unsuccessful in the end. Furthermore, Chen Jun and not Zijin was the one who initiated the breakup.

“Do you have time to chat?” Ding Jiayi had such a fierce temper but she could finally speak like a normal person. Qiao Nan could not possibly scold her and not give her any face. “It’s late now. Why don’t you go back to rest? We can find a chance to talk again if there is any matter. The triplets have to be flower children for Sister Zhai Hua. I have to tailor-make their clothes but I have not finished making them.”
