Jiajia was the Zhai family’s only child. She did not believe that the Zhai family would remain so cold and indifferent toward her if she comforted Jiajia while she was crying and if she sent her back to the Zhai family.
What angered Qiu Chenxi was that Jiajia had treated her too badly. She had wanted to get closer to Jiajia and hug her to comfort her out of the kindness of her heart, but Jiajia had been so afraid that she had run off in the opposite direction. Jiajia’s reaction had made Qiu Chenxi suspect whether Jiajia saw her as a bad person or even a human trafficker!
Afterward, Qiu Chenxi opened her mouth. “Jiajia, don’t cry. Don’t run away either. I’m your aunt. I’m…”
Before Qiu Chenxi could finish her sentence, Sister Zhao emerged. Her eyes widened. “Why is this liar here again? What are you trying to say to our child? Are you a kidnapper? Do you believe that I’ll call the police on you now and get them to throw you in jail?” She was horrible! Did she not know whom she was dealing with? Was it not enough that she had tried to scam them once? Now, she even dared to kidnap their child! Was she trying to get revenge on them because they had not fallen into her trap the previous time?
The moment Jiajia heard that this was not the first time this unfamiliar woman had come to scam them, Jiajia, who was already fearful, trembled even more violently. “Auntie Zhao, I-I want to meet Auntie Qiao. Let’s go find her.”
This woman had only lied to her and had yet to harm her physically. Apart from lying that she was her aunt, she had not had the chance to lure her away. Jiajia knew that there was no way for them to get the police to arrest Qiu Chenxi.
Upon finding out that Qiu Chenxi was a bad person, Jiajia was even more frightened. All she wanted to do was to have an adult whom she trusted and could rely on by her side.
Sister Zhao nodded. “All right. I’ll bring you to find Sister Qiao. Remember to hide from this woman if you see her again in the future. Do you understand?”
It was then that Qiu Chenxi realized that Qiao Nan, who had only taken care of Zhai Sheng for two days, had left a good impression on the Zhai family. While Jiajia had been scared stiff, she had insisted on looking for Qiao Nan instead of the caretaker who was always in the Zhai family’s house.
Initially, Qiu Chenxi did not know whether to blame Jiajia for not knowing to differentiate between her relatives and outsiders, or whether to blame Qiao Nan’s existence for missing out on such a rare opportunity to prove her worth as an aunt.
It was just that Qiao Nan had sent Jiajia home in the end, and her image had improved even more in the Zhai family’s eyes. Even though Qiao Nan was only an ex-caretaker, as long as Qiao Nan was willing to speak well of her, or even bring her into the Zhai family’s house, the Zhai family would let her in for Qiao Nan’s sake, right?
If she could get to that point and enter the Zhai family’s house, it would not be difficult not to leave. In short, Qiu Chenxi regarded Qiao Nan as a stepping stone back into the Zhai family.
In the face of Qiu Chenxi’s wonderful performance, Qiao Nan thought that Qiu Chenxi had not lived for nothing. At the very least, Qiu Chenxi had grown much more compared to how she had behaved like a madwoman, calling her a shrew in her dream. “I don’t know your name yet, but it doesn’t matter. I’m not sure what a small misunderstanding or a big problem is to you, or where the line should be drawn.”
