“You’re a college graduate who doesn’t even earn as much as Nan Nan, who didn’t even graduate from high school. What do you have to be proud of? Your mom always praises you, saying that you’ll accomplish great things someday, that Nan Nan can’t compare to you, that Nan Nan’s results weren’t as good as yours, and that Nan Nan’s pay is not as high as yours. But were you the one who found that son-in-law that your mom looks so highly upon? If not for Nan Nan, do you think you would have been able to marry into the Chen family and get married to Chen Jun?”

Yes! Of course!

Zijin could not match up to Nan Nan in every way, and whatever she had was snatched away from Nan Nan, yet what Ding Jiayi was saying was that Zijin was very capable herself!

In the past, he had been muddleheaded and had allowed Ding Jiayi to do as she wanted. But now, he was no longer muddleheaded. His elder daughter had better not treat him as a fool either.

Qiao Zijin’s face paled. “Dad, are you despising me for earning less than Qiao Nan?”

Qiao Dongliang sneered. “Am I the one despising you for that? These are your mom’s words. Your mom is the one despising you. Ding Jiayi, haven’t you always praised Zijin for everything and said that Nan Nan is no better than Zijin? Come. Why don’t you tell me in detail everything that Zijin has done well in without Nan Nan’s involvement? What has Zijin done alone that has pleased you? It’s best you explain clearly what’s good about this perfect daughter you care so much about. If you can really prove it, I might just agree with you and acknowledge Zijin as our only daughter and abandon Nan Nan!”

While saying this, Qiao Dongliang yanked Ding Jiayi over in front of him. Ding Jiayi felt pain from Qiao Dongliang’s vigorous pull. She stumbled and nearly fell. Ding Jiayi’s expression was blank. “Zijin is a university graduate!” Zijin was obviously better than that wretched girl. Was there a need for any comparison?

“Wasn’t Zijin the one who completed her university course by herself? Do you mean that that wretched girl helped Zijin study, take exams, and graduate?”

Qiao Zijin puffed up her chest. That’s right. Had she not relied on her own efforts to graduate from university? Even if she had not passed her exams, she had taken supplementary papers herself. When had Qiao Nan ever helped her?

Qiao Dongliang rubbed his face. “While Nan Nan was studying, she always ranked among the top three. When has Zijin ever ranked among even the top five? If Nan Nan had not gone out to work before graduating from high school, do you think Zijin could have finished her three years of high school relying on just you and me? Yes, Zijin did go to university and she was indeed the one taking the exams, but is that something to be proud of? Didn’t all of Zijin’s classmates do that too? Why do you think she’s the most special and the most hardworking? Everyone will laugh at you if they hear what you’ve just said. The problem is that if Nan Nan had not gone out to work to support Zijin, could Zijin have graduated just by taking an exam? Money! It’s all about money!”

At the mention of this, Qiao Dongliang’s heart broke. “Did Zijin manage to get into Tsinghua University or Peking University? You’ve been bragging but don’t you remember what kind of school Zijin studied in? As long as you have money, you’ll definitely be able to graduate from that school! I’ve never said it, and neither has Nan Nan, but are you two not clear about that? To put it bluntly, Zijin’s identity as a university graduate was bought with Nan Nan’s money!”

It was just an educational certificate that had been bought with Nan Nan’s money. He could not understand why Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were proud of it. Thinking about it, it was actually humiliating. Was a university graduate like that a true university graduate? But there were two people in his family who could never understand the situation and had been proud of it. Initially, he had had such foolish thoughts as well. Just thinking of it gave Qiao Dongliang the urge to slap himself. How shameless!

Qiao Dongliang was the one arguing rationally, but Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were both people who did not care about rationality. Neither of them could convince the other, and Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin insisted that the courtyard should be Qiao Zijin’s.

It was not right for Qiao Dongliang to have secretly given Qiao Nan the property deed. They would have to get it back. Apart from the property deed, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin had other devious plans in mind.

Firstly, Qiao Nan had left with a few hundred thousand. Would they be willing to let Qiao Nan ‘take advantage’ of them just like that? Secondly, Qiao Zijin had some feelings for her son, after all. Besides the mother-son bond, she cared more about everything the Chen family had. Upon getting a stepmother, a father was bound to become a stepfather too. If all of the Chen family’s assets went to the second child, what would her son do?

Chen Feng was her son. The Chen family’s assets landing in Chen Feng’s hands was no different from landing in her hands. It did not matter if she would have to wait for a few years. Would Chen Feng disregard her, his mother, in the future? The better Chen Feng’s conditions and background was, the more she would be able to enjoy her life in her old age.

As such, before her son gained control of the Chen family’s assets, she would have to find a way to keep a close eye on all of their assets. Qiao Zijin had no way of controlling other women, but she did think that she could, at least, control Qiao Nan. All the while, Qiao Nan had been pretty good to Chen Feng. Besides, Qiao Nan was already turning forty. Perhaps, if they scolded her, she might just get married to Chen Jun and not have kids anymore.

As long as Chen Feng remained as Chen Jun’s only child, there was nothing Qiao Zijin had to worry about. Thinking about how Chen Jun had feelings for Qiao Nan and how Chen Jun might no longer lead a wild life outside after marrying Qiao Nan, Qiao Zijin was miserable, feeling that this was the only way to ensure Chen Feng’s and her survival.

If Chen Jun did not play around with other women, there would be no illegitimate children to fight over the Chen family’s assets with her son.

As Chen Jun’s rank rose and his path got smoother, there would be even more young ladies willing to marry him, even if he was in his fifties or sixties.

As such, they had to take the opportunity before all these women appeared and get Qiao Nan to marry Chen Jun as soon as possible so that Qiao Nan could help them keep an eye on Chen Jun. This should happen sooner rather than later. They had not had the chance to broach the topic since they had not even met her. This time, they could kill three birds with one stone. They had to find Qiao Nan and settle these three matters once and for all.

Knowing that Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi were about to find Qiao Nan, Qiao Dongliang thought that the pair simply meant to retrieve the property deed. He had not expected that the mother-and-daughter pair had so many other devious schemes up their sleeves. But even if it was just for the property deed, Qiao Dongliang would not let them go either. “No, you can’t go. It’s my name on the property deed and this house is mine. I’ll give it to whoever I want.”

At this moment, the person who frustrated Qiao Dongliang the most was not Qiao Zijin but Ding Jiayi, who had not fulfilled her role as a mother.
