“What Chen Feng needs is his mother, not his aunt. If you really care so much about Chen Feng, you should have a discussion with Qiao Zijin to see how to treat her illness.” Qiao Nan did not want Xiao Xu to misunderstand and have the idea that she was the kind of woman who would abandon her own husband and son, especially when the person concerned was Chen Jun. She had no intention of taking the rap for Chen Jun. “If you can find me, I’m sure you can get in contact with Qiao Zijin. Perhaps she’s been waiting all day for you to call her.”
“Don’t talk about that b*tch!” No matter whom he married, he would never let Qiao Zijin enter the Chen family ever again. “Qiao Nan, you should know that you’re completely different from Qiao Zijin, and you should also know all about what Qiao Zijin did to me. It’s true that I let you down in the past, but I didn’t do it on purpose. I wanted to marry you and you’ve been the only one I’ve loved all along. That was just an accident. Why must you say such things to hurt me and yourself?”
“…”
So the chief’s wife actually knew this guy and had even had a relationship with him. “I knew it! I knew you weren’t any good!” He had already been in a relationship with the chief’s wife but had gotten her sister pregnant! What a bast*rd!
Thankfully, this fool was a bast*rd. Otherwise, Sister Qiao would never have gotten the chance to meet the chief or become the chief’s wife.
Zhai Sheng, who had been much slower than Xiao Xu, finally caught up. “How do you plan on settling this matter?”
“You… Why are you here?” Upon seeing Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan had an inexplicable sense of guilt. She did not dare to look Zhai Sheng in the eye, much less talk about Chen Jun in front of Zhai Sheng. She did not even understand why she felt guilty.
“Oh, I was worried about you.” It was just a simple sentence, but it was rather arousing. “Have you thought about how you intend on dealing with this matter? If it’s inconvenient for you, I can help you out.”
With Sun Guohong’s help, Zhai Sheng knew all about how Qiao Nan had once dated Chen Jun and had even nearly gotten married to him even though Qiao Nan had not said anything to him.
If it had not been for Chen Jun’s own poor self-control that he had chosen Qiao Zijin, Zhai Sheng would not even stand a chance now. In fact, Zhai Sheng had to thank Chen Jun for his blunder at that time. Regardless, he had to punish Chen Jun for hurting Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan eyed Chen Jun. “There’s no need to deal with him. He’s quite a well-known person in Ping Cheng. He’s only here to make a fuss in Qingshui Town because no one will recognize him here. If the news I received is correct, he’s been promoted and will be transferred out of Ping Cheng. From now on, there will be no chance for me to meet him again.”
What nonsense! Chen Jun had not gotten married to her. He had only gotten engaged to her. Even after Chen Jun married Qiao Zijin, he had continued partying and having affairs. Compared to Qiao Zijin, what she had suffered at that time was nothing. Most importantly, Qiao Nan had absolutely no feelings for Chen Jun. Not only did she feel distasteful looking at Chen Jun, but she also felt that Chen Jun was nothing more than an eyesore. She wished that Chen Jun would disappear from her sight as quickly as possible.
If she were to try to deal with Chen Jun, there might very well be no end to this whole matter.
Qiao Nan took a deep breath. “I don’t know what has gotten into you that you’ve made a trip down to spout all this nonsense to me. I’ve made my stance very clear and I believe that your dad has told you all about it. Don’t ever come here again. Even if we bump into each other in the future, I hope that you’ll pretend not to know me. It was probably an accumulation of ten lifetimes worth of bad luck that I met you. Don’t tell me that it was an accident that Qiao Zijin got pregnant with your child. To me, the outcome is the same anyway. If at any point in time you decide to forgive Qiao Zijin and are willing to reconcile with Qiao Zijin to give Chen Feng a complete family, I might forgive you for what you did with Qiao Zijin. If that’s the case, there’s no point in me holding a grudge since the three of you will have a blissful life anyway.”
In short, it was simply impossible between Chen Jun and her.
She would much rather stay single for her whole life than get married to this bast*rd, Chen Jun, much less for Chen Feng’s sake.
“You’re so heartless!” She had already taken Qiao Zijin’s matter out as a basis of comparison. No matter how self-absorbed Chen Jun was, he was able to feel that Qiao Nan’s heart had indeed changed. He was nostalgic about the past he had had with Qiao Nan and wished that those things had never happened. More than anything, he wished that his relationship with Qiao Nan could return to what it had been in the past.
Chen Jun gritted his teeth unwillingly. “I’m sure you’ve heard that children will have stepfathers once they have stepmothers. Do you know how Chen Feng will be affected if I were to marry a woman apart from you?”
Qiao Nan was so angered by Chen Jun’s shamelessness that she could not help but laugh. “You know very well that Chen Feng is your son, not mine. He’s just my nephew. I think I’ve already been very kind and generous by treating Chen Feng just like any other nephew even after what happened that year. Now, you’re expecting me to treat him as my biological son and sacrifice my own happiness for his happiness and his future?”
Chen Feng was Chen Jun’s biological son. Chen Jun had not spared a thought for Chen Feng and had even said such a thing as to how he was willing to let his new wife abuse Chen Feng. So what could she do as an ‘outsider’? There was nothing she could say or do. This was the Chen family’s own matters. She had nothing to do with it at all.
“The ones who should be worried about how Chen Feng is doing should be Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi. Chen Jun, you’re looking for the wrong person.” Qiao Nan was mentally exhausted. With Chen Jun’s background, he could easily find an eighteen-year-old young lady to get married to. Why was he clinging on to an old lady in her forties? What was going on in Chen Jun’s mind? “Xiao Xu, let him go. He won’t be able to leave if you don’t let him go.”
Xiao Xu glanced at Chen Jun and finally let him go after ensuring that Chen Jun would not be a danger to them. “I’m warning you to be more humble in front of us.” If he dared to do anything to the chief’s wife or say anything mean to her, he would no longer be so polite toward him. He might even go all out.
Chen Jun’s hands hurt from Xiao Xu’s grip on him. Chen Jun looked at Qiao Nan with a steely face. “Qiao Nan, you’re turning forty this year. Do you really think you’ll be able to find someone better than me? Will you really not regret it? I’ve already given you a chance. Don’t regret it after today. You’re no different from Qiao Zijin from now on! Don’t think that the Qiao family is the only one with daughters in this world!”
