Chapter 2475 - Mushy (1)

As such, Chen Feng couldn’t even be bothered to waste his breath on Qiao Zijin. She could do whatever she wanted. He wouldn’t try to stop her.

But now that Chen Feng was no longer trying to stop her, Qiao Zijin felt a little uneasy. Since when had Feng Feng been this way?

Qiao Zijin didn’t suffer from Alzheimer’s and knew that Chen Feng preferred his aunt, Qiao Nan, to his own mother.

It was obvious that she wanted Qiao Nan to support her if she were to live in the capital. But Chen Feng had shown no response at all. What did that mean? Something seemed amiss.

Not caring about how Qiao Zijin was now in a dilemma, Chen Feng returned to his room and packed his belongings, getting ready to move to the capital for his studies.

It was only at the last minute when Chen Feng was about to purchase two tickets that Qiao Zijin suddenly regretted it. “Feng Feng, you don’t have to buy my ticket. I won’t be going to the capital. Actually, I think it’ll be better for me to remain here. I’m familiar with the surroundings here. But Feng Feng, are you going to remain in the capital to establish your career, or…”

“I’ll return to Ping Cheng.” If his grandparents were still alive at that time, he would bring them over and live with them.

Of course, given his father’s situation, it seemed like his father would no longer be around by the time he graduated.

That was why Chen Feng could tell Qiao Zijin with certainty that he would return to Ping Cheng and that she had no reason to worry.

“Alright then. Feng Feng, remember to give me a call once you reach your school safely. And remember to study hard. Only with good results will you be able to find a good job in Ping Cheng. Mom will be waiting for you at home.”

Thankfully, Qiao Zijin seemed to have regained her senses because of her son, Chen Feng, and could even sensibly remind Chen Feng to study hard to prove his worth.

If she were in his position, Qiao Zijin would definitely say that it was useless to work hard. Anyway, she had an impressive sister like Qiao Nan.

With Qiao Nan around, she could simply lie around and wait to be fed since Qiao Nan was so capable.

“Oh right, you won’t have to worry about having any trouble finding a job after graduating. We have your younger auntie. There’s nothing we won’t be able to resolve.”

“…”

Chen Feng had just thought of praising Qiao Zijin for being clear-headed.

Who would have known that Qiao Zijin’s next words would strike like lightning?

Chen Feng, who had just been provoked by Qiao Zijin, couldn’t help but admit that this woman in front of him was his mom indeed. He had no other choice.

There were some things he should just let go of after hearing. It would be too tiring responding to everything she said.

After coming to a consensus, Chen Feng got on the bus to the capital with his admission notice. After a long day of travel, he finally arrived in the capital.

Chen Feng had not met Qiao Nan, and neither had he had any contact with her throughout the past two years.

But when Chen Feng arrived in the capital, he couldn’t help but want to meet Qiao Nan since they were living in the same city.

Thankfully, although Qiao Zijin didn’t have Qiao Nan’s address and couldn’t contact Qiao Nan, she knew Qiao Nan’s address at the very least.

Chen Feng hadn’t even needed to ask Qiao Zijin before he received Qiao Nan’s address. “Feng Feng, remember to find your younger auntie here if you have any problems you can’t solve.”

Qiao Zijin had been to the capital.

It wasn’t Qiao Zijin’s first time trying to leech on Qiao Nan to stay in the capital.

She still remembered how she had been to the capital before the Zhu family’s lawsuit had come to an end.

Although this had happened several years ago, there was no way she would forget about this matter no matter how bad her memory was.

As such, the moment she finished speaking to Chen Feng, Qiao Zijin chose to have some time to herself. But the thought of the past upset her.

Previous incidents proved that her younger sister, Qiao Nan, was exceptionally vicious.

Even when she had been critically ill and had been hospitalized, Qiao Nan had never even visited her, much less footed the bill for her.

Every time Qiao Zijin went to the capital, she intended to take advantage of Qiao Nan. Then, she would return home with a sum of money to spend.

If not for the fifty thousand yuan that Wang Yang had given her, Qiao Zijin would have returned home even poorer. Not only had she not earned any money, but she had even spent her own money.

Would Qiao Nan really agree to fork out money for her to rent an apartment or give her a living allowance if she were to go to the capital?

It was too dangerous.

What if Qiao Nan decided to get revenge on them if she were to kick up a fuss at the Zhai family’s house and force Qiao Nan to agree to her terms?

It didn’t matter to her. She didn’t think she stood to lose anything no matter how much Qiao Nan tried to get back at her.

But Qiao Zijin had a weakness: her son, Chen Feng.

She wasn’t afraid of what Qiao Nan would do to her, but if Qiao Nan were to try to deal with Chen Feng, his future might very well be ruined.

Of course, Qiao Zijin had to consider the dire consequences before acting rashly.

Then, Qiao Zijin thought about how Ding Jiayi had never contacted her in the two years since moving away from the Qiao family’s courtyard. Qiao Dongliang, who had moved out earlier, was no different from a dead person and had not contacted her either.

Without the elderly couple with her, Qiao Nan didn’t have to worry about giving them a living allowance since Qiao Zijin wouldn’t be able to take a single cent of that.

Qiao Nan knew that she was jobless and was living off her savings. Even in such a pitiful state, Qiao Nan had never been concerned about her, much less provided her with a living allowance. The moment Ding Jiayi moved away, Qiao Nan seemed to have disappeared from her world too.

Qiao Nan never tried to contact her, and neither was she ever able to reach Qiao Nan again.

It could be said that Qiao Zijin had lost all three closed ones at the same time, and only her son, Chen Feng, was left by her side.

Otherwise, Qiao Zijin wouldn’t have felt so insecure to insist on going to the capital with Chen Feng.

Thankfully, Qiao Zijin finally calmed down. She couldn’t afford to act rashly and provoke Qiao Nan for the sake of her son.

Forget it. She would keep the peace. She didn’t dare to touch Qiao Nan’s money.
