Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 2125: Refund

Anyone with the experience of returning clothes would know that it was impossible to get a refund on them once their tags had been cut off.

It would be no wonder if Qiao Nan had really done that. If Qiao Nan had cut off the tags and washed them before returning them to Qiao Zijin, it would not only show that Qiao Nan did not accept Qiao Zijin’s kindness, but it would also mean that those clothes would be useless once they received them. Unless they had other children in the family, that pile of clothes would become rubbish.

As such, Ding Jiayi wanted to thank the heavens when she saw that the clothes had been returned perfectly fine with their tags intact and had no signs of being washed before. She had to thank Qiao Nan for being slightly humane despite having such an evil heart.

If Qiao Nan had done what she had predicted, she would definitely lambast Qiao Nan to death and demand her to pay Zijin ten times what she had lost unless Qiao Nan never showed up in front of her ever again.

Of course, Qiao Nan had not gone overboard and had allowed them to recoup their losses. Since she had not burned this bridge, it would be easier for them to get along in the future.

Ding Jiayi was much faster than Qiao Zijin. With Ding Jiayi’s help, they managed to get through the pile of clothes very quickly. “Zijin, do you still have the receipts for these clothes? You didn’t throw them away, right? The more expensive these things are, the more particular they are. If you threw the receipts away, you wouldn’t be able to get a refund.”

“I still have them.” Qiao Zijin had thought for a long while whether to throw those receipts away. At the thought of the amount she had spent on these clothes, Qiao Zijin had the urge to throw those receipts as far away as possible, lest her heart ache when she saw the receipts again. The problem was that if she were to throw those receipts away, she would never be able to prove to Qiao Nan and the Zhai family just how much she had spent on those three children. Then, how would she prove that she treated the children well and would treat them no different from her own biological children?

As a precautionary measure, Qiao Zijin had kept that receipt well in a place where it would not be seen normally so that she would not catch a glimpse of it and ruin her mood.

After retrieving the receipt, Qiao Zijin hesitated. “Should I really get a refund on all of them?” It was, of course, good to be able to get back her money. The problem was whether Qiao Nan had seen her good intentions. If Qiao Nan had not, she would rather the clothes become a pile of rubbish than return them.

On the contrary, if Qiao Nan had already acknowledged her good intentions, there would be nothing better than getting a refund. Unfortunately, Qiao Zijin had no idea about Qiao Nan’s attitude and did not dare to take it easy.

“Return them.”

“Of course, you should return them. Why would you not return them?” At this point in time, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Dongliang concurred.

Qiao Dongliang eyed Ding Jiayi, whose face was illuminated with red light. “There’s no point in keeping these clothes at home.” The Qiao family had reached the point where they could afford to waste their money in this manner. This pile of clothes had cost them quite a lot. They could not possibly leave them to rot at home. Giving it away? It was too expensive for them.

“That’s right.” Ding Jiayi felt that she was indeed Qiao Dongliang’s wife. They had such chemistry! “We don’t have any more children in the family. When Feng Feng gets older and gives us a great-grandchild, I’m sure fashion styles would have changed and children’s clothes won’t look like that anymore. Prices fluctuate every year, more so for designs. What’s trendy today might be worth nothing next year. It’s not like they’re made of gold. They have no inherent value. It’s better to get a refund as soon as possible and get your money back.”

It was not easy for Ding Jiayi to say such things as a housewife. It was only because she watched quite a lot of television programs and gossiped with her neighbors that Ding Jiayi had some knowledge about these things. “Zijin, do you want me to follow you to get your refund? They might try to bully you and not refund you if you go alone. I know that salespeople earn commissions from their sales. You made such a big purchase, so they must have gotten quite a lot of commission. Now that you’re getting a refund, they’ll definitely be upset about earning less and might cause trouble for you.”

“That sounds good.” Zijin nodded in agreement. When she had still been Mrs. Chen in the past, Qiao Zijin had never gotten a refund even on the clothes that she had not liked. She thought it was a chore while Chen Jun could not afford to lose his face. Even Chen Jun told her to just put those clothes that she did not like aside and not wear them instead of getting a refund.

Having been used to being pampered like that, Qiao Zijin did not have any experience in getting refunds. As such, she was afraid of facing such a situation and of being looked down on by the salespeople. If Ding Jiayi tagged along, she could simply get Ding Jiayi to handle everything.

Sure enough, with Ding Jiayi by her side, the other party’s attitude changed immediately the moment she realized that they were trying to get a refund. That salesperson was no match for Ding Jiayi at all. Besides, she knew that her reputation as a businesswoman would matter much more in the long run and that her service attitude left an important impression on her customers.

With no other choice, the salesperson could only help them go through with their refund.

As expected, Ding Jiayi was overjoyed that they had managed to retrieve their money after returning the clothes. Although she had saved her money, Qiao Zijin did not feel so good. “Mom, Qiao Nan is already six months pregnant. Do you think I will make it in time to let Qiao Nan understand how good I am and make her agree to let me marry Zhai Sheng before she gives birth and dies?”

She had already known that it would be difficult, but she had thought that she would have made some progress, at the very least. But in reality? Childbirth was imminent, but nothing had happened yet!

They were in a taxi, after all, and it was inappropriate to discuss this matter then. Ding Jiayi had already felt the driver looking at them in a different light. Ding Jiayi patted Qiao Zijin on the thigh, asking her to calm down. They would discuss the matter once they got home.

Qiao Zijin was frustrated. Once they got home, it would not be convenient for them to discuss the matter either because her dad would be around. She could never let her dad find out about her plan. Not only would he never agree to it, but he would even try his best to stand in her way!

Her dad had already fallen for Qiao Nan’s trap, but Zhai Sheng would get remarried after Qiao Nan’s death anyway.
