Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 2024: Settling Scores

Qiao Dongliang pulled down his eyebrows. "So it's like that." To think that he thought the two of them were somewhat more humane today. Even if they wanted to continue making trouble for Nan Nan, they would have chosen another day and be more restrained today. It turned out that this mother-daughter pair didn't appear as they were stuck at the bureau.

It wasn't that they didn't want to come. It was that they couldn't come!

No matter what Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi were thinking, today was Qiao Nan's big day. Qiao Dongliang still had some persistence. "Police officer, I'm sorry. I'm a little busy now and can't make my way. Can I go over after an hour?"

The police officer at the other end frowned. At this moment, shouldn't it be more important to get people out of the police station? Why wait for another hour? "Okay, come over immediately after an hour and fetch them away. No matter how small the matter, we can only keep them at the station if the procedures are not done. Don't worry. This isn't troublesome at all. The procedures are not complicated either. You can fetch them away after signing the documents."

"Okay, thank you."

"Police officer, when can we go?" Once she saw the police officer hang up the phone, Ding Jiayi stepped forward and asked carefully. At this age, apart from the time Qiao Nan was hit by a car, this was the first time she entered a police station in this capacity.

Seeing that everyone in the police station looked stern, Ding Jiayi felt panicked and wanted to leave this place quickly. Not only did Ding Jiayi feel this way, but Qiao Zijin did too.

In the past when she was still Chen Jun's wife, she liked to come to such places. Even if it was the Ping Cheng Public Security Bureau, she could walk in openly and let everyone address her respectfully as Mrs. Commissioner, let alone a small police branch.

However, after the divorce with Chen Jun, there was no doubt that such a treatment was naturally gone. Forget it that she was no longer Mrs. Commissioner. She was even arrested today. Upon thinking that she was 'invited' to the police station as she was creating trouble, Qiao Zijin felt angry.

Who was so wicked? She was just going to attend her birth sister's wedding. Why was she arrested by the police? Could it be that Qiao Nan was the one who called the police to arrest her and her mom?

"Wait for a while. Your lover said that he's busy now. He'll come over an hour later to fetch you and your daughter away." The police officer relayed Qiao Dongliang's exact words to Ding Jiayi. As a couple, upon hearing that his wife was in the police station, his tone and attitude weren't nervous at all. He even said that he would arrive an hour later. He could tell that this couple didn't have a good relationship.

"An hour later?" Ding Jiayi's face couldn't help but turn green. She didn't want to stay in a broken place like the police station for another minute longer. "Can I trouble you to give him a call again? I'll tell him personally to come over immediately and fetch us back." If they waited for another hour, by the time Old Qiao completed the procedures and brought her and Zijin back, Qiao Nan's wedding and banquet would have been over.

Her daughter was going to marry the chief. As the only birth mother of the bride, how could she be absent?!

"Why are you kicking up a fuss? Do you think the police station is your home? Don't you have a phone? We're not restricting you from contacting the outside world. If you want to call, use your own phone!" The police officer was unhappy. They were already in the police station but dared to speak louder than them. No wonder someone would call the police and send this mother-daughter pair over.

As soon as the police reminded them, Ding Jiayi sat back next to Qiao Zijin. "My mobile number is in arrears. Zijin, you call your dad."

Qiao Zijin frowned. "If it's in arrears, pay the bill. This is a small matter. Unless you're not going to use your phone anymore, you will have to pay the bill sooner or later." Why did she have to use her phone to make this call? A call would only cost a few cents.

She had given her mom a few tens of thousands yuan. Could it be that she was unwilling to fork out over a hundred yuan for the phone bill?

Ding Jiayi didn't say anything. When she was getting along with Qiao Nan, she always took care of her living expenses. Once there wasn't enough money for her phone bill, she would directly ask Qiao Nan for help. When she felt like eating something, she would get Qiao Nan to return home and buy over the things she wanted to eat. She got the money and Qiao Nan continued to take care of all the miscellaneous expenses.

Ding Jiayi only paid the phone bills twice. However, she was already not used to it and missed her previous life very much. She didn't only have Qiao Nan as a daughter. Would Qiao Zijin, who was more filial, not be able to do what Qiao Nan could do?

Ding Jiayi was very confident of Qiao Zijin. However, reality gave Ding Jiayi a slap and told her that she had thought too beautifully.

Qiao Zijin was finally willing to fork out some money. She couldn't wait for Ding Jiayi to be frugal and avoid spending money as much as possible. She wanted her to use that few tens of thousands yuan she provided her with until the end of time. At the very least, before Ding Jiayi and Qiao Dongliang died, they shouldn't spend all the money and ask her for more again.

As such, Qiao Zijin wouldn't care that Ding Jiayi's mobile number is in arrears, let alone take the initiative to pay the bill for Ding Jiayi. "Mom, who do you think sent us to the police station today? I guess it's very likely the person who's getting married today. Why did she do that? It's all because you were usually too overboard. No wonder Nan Nan would run away and refuse to acknowledge you as her mom and me as her sister."

"I shan't calculate for you how much Qiao Nan used to provide you as monthly living expenses. She gave you all her salary and even had to pay for everything in the family, including Dad's and your mobile phone bills. Doesn't Qiao Nan need to lead her life? Doesn't she have to eat or drink? You used to be so overboard to Qiao Nan. Now that Qiao Nan's out of your control, are you trying to be as harsh to me as you were to her before?"

She wasn't as stupid as Qiao Nan. She had a full-time job and two part-time jobs. She earned twenty to thirty thousand yuan a month. However, she spent less than two thousand yuan on herself each month. If her mom was trying to make her the second Qiao Nan, she would smile and tell her mom to stop dreaming.

Ding Jiayi's face flushed red. She dared not look at those police officers. She lowered her voice and said, "What kind of attitude is this? Am I that bad to Qiao Nan? Furthermore, weren't you the one who told me earlier that Qiao Nan was alone, didn't have a boyfriend, and had minimal expenses?"

As such, she could totally spend more of Qiao Nan's money.

When Qiao Nan was older, Zijin told her again that there were a lot of ugly duckling men in society today. After marrying a wife, they would sleep with her. After she gave birth to children, they would spend her money.
