Chapter 1777: Unable To Interfere

Knowing that Qiao Zijin had a house, they were probably not going to hand this sum of money over to Qiao Zijin anymore unless they could be certain that the house at this address had nothing to do with Qiao Zijin.

“There’s no hurry. Let’s leave this aside for the time being and figure out whether these things are true before making a decision.”

Because they had not thought of these things in the past, they had not been able to check on them. But now that the station knew all about it, it would be easy to find out whether Qiao Zijin was truly the mother of Chen Jun’s son.

While Qiao Zijin was the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, she had not kept a low profile. But when Qiao Zijin was caught in an affair by Chen Jun, the Chen family had kept the matters under wraps and not many people knew about this. Since they had been getting along just fine, why had Chen Jun suddenly gotten a divorce from Qiao Zijin?

Chen Jun was the person-in-charge at the Ping Cheng police station. As such, there was naturally no problem at all for him to get divorced from Qiao Zijin and find a younger and prettier young lady. But Qiao Zijin was different. Qiao Zijin was old and had given birth to a child. Although she had been a little tender-looking when she was younger, her looks were nothing out of the ordinary.

If Chen Jun did not have any chinks in Qiao Zijin’s armor, there was no way Qiao Zijin would be willing to get a divorce!

After contacting only a few people to investigate the relationship between Qiao Zijin and Chen Jun, the staff from the station quickly got a definitive answer: Qiao Zijin’s ex-husband was indeed Chen Jun. When the two of them had gotten married, this person had even attended their wedding dinner. Moreover, the couple had gotten into a shotgun marriage.

Now, they had confirmed that half of the rumors were true. Because of that, the manager, who was holding a glass of water, trembled in anger. He was truly infuriated by the Qiao family.

With in-laws like the Chen family, whether Qiao Zijin was diagnosed with leukemia or cancer, the Chen family would have no problems forking out money to pay for Qiao Zijin’s treatment, let alone for uremia. Why did they have to kick up such a huge fuss by coming to the television station to ask for help, all the while smearing the name of their younger daughter?

Because of this, the station manager, who had been elated by Qiao Zijin’s news, was now in a huge dilemma.

Since Qiao Zijin had already divorced Chen Jun, the station manager could not simply ignore Qiao Zijin just like that. Because of the existence of Chen Jun and the Chen family’s status in society, the station manager had no choice but to give them some face. The station manager instructed someone to inform Chen Jun of this situation. After all, there was no way the Chen family did not know about Qiao Zijin’s situation, right? To save the Chen family some face, Chen Jun had better take care of this matter well.

Their station could do their best on their end to prevent Qiao Zijin’s and Chen Jun’s relationship from coming to light, but they would not be able to do anything to stop this news from creating an uproar in society. The station would bear no responsibility if something else caused this relationship between Qiao Zijin and Chen Jun to be exposed to the public.

It was chaotic in the station because of this sudden situation, and the atmosphere in the Chen family was no better. At that time, Father and Mother Chen would never have agreed to someone from the Qiao family being their daughter-in-law if it had not been for the fact that Qiao Nan was of use to Chen Jun and that Qiao Nan had done the Chen family a huge favor.

As a mother-in-law, Mother Chen had already set out her plans. Anyway, Qiao Nan had no idea about how she had helped the husband and son with their careers. Qiao Nan was marrying someone of a higher social status than her, so Mother Chen had to put on some airs to help her son keep Qiao Nan under control. Otherwise, she might very well embarrass the Chen family because of her lowly family background.

Mother Chen had thought about a lot of things, but after interacting with Qiao Nan, Mother Chen’s attitude was not as harsh and haughty as she had expected herself to be. She was only human, after all. Moreover, it could not be denied that Chen Jun had benefitted due to Qiao Nan. Even without Chen Jun, Qiao Nan would similarly be able to rise up in ranks after becoming Zhu Chengqi’s goddaughter, without any help from the Chen family.

Perhaps it was because she thought that Qiao Nan could hitch a ride along with the Zhu family. Since Zhu Chengqi had already taken a liking to Qiao Nan once, there could be a second time. And perhaps it was because Qiao Nan was indeed a good young lady who had a fair temper and spoke gently. Before long, Mother Chen was rather accepting of Qiao Nan as her daughter-in-law.

But who would have known that Qiao Zijin would suddenly come into the picture after Mother Chen finally opened her heart up to Qiao Nan being her daughter-in-law? Compared to the independent and financially-independent Qiao Nan, Mother Chen did not like Qiao Zijin at all. After Qiao Zijin married into the Chen family, there was not a single thing that Qiao Zijin had done to please her other than giving birth to a grandson.

In the end, Qiao Zijin had even cheated on her son! If not for the fact that her son was in a bad mood over it, Mother Chen would have given her son a good lecture: Look how good Qiao Nan is. Just one look at her tells you that she’s a good young lady who’s suitable for marriage. If you want to have an affair outside and play around, Qiao Zijin would be fine for that. But when it comes to finding a wife, one should always look for someone like Qiao Nan.

Mother Chen knew all about her son’s wild actions during his college days. It was exactly because of this that Mother Chen was confused. It was not as though her son, Chen Jun, had not had any women around him. In fact, he had dealt with all sorts of women while in college. What had gone wrong with her son that he had taken a fancy to Qiao Zijin and had even gotten Qiao Zijin pregnant?

But Mother Chen did not mention a thing about the past. When the couple finally got divorced, Mother Chen decided never to bring up the past ever again, lest she disrupt the peace in the family. There was no point in fighting over Qiao Zijin, who was no longer part of the family.

But within a year of Qiao Zijin’s divorce from Chen Jun, such a huge storm started in Ping Cheng, almost utterly humiliating the Chen family. Ever since the news broke, Mother Chen refused to step out of the house and even refused to get in contact with any of her close friends!

No matter how much she liked her grandson, because of Qiao Zijin’s matter, Mother Chen looked at her grandson in a different light now.

“Chen Jun, are you not going to resolve this matter? Do you know how many people are looking at us as a joke now? This is embarrassing! Too embarrassing!” As the matter blew up day by day, Mother Chen only got angrier at her son. But the family’s nanny was rather bright. Knowing that the Chen family had mixed feelings toward Qiao Zijin’s son, the nanny quickly coaxed the child into the room with toys at the mention of this subject.

“Mom, I’ve already said that it’s inappropriate for me to contact the Qiao family now. If I interfere in the matter, won’t it show that I still have a relationship with Qiao Zijin?” Chen Jun felt humiliated too. He felt that the worst mistake he had ever made in this life was having been coaxed by Qiao Zijin that night into drinking with her.

While he was still dating Qiao Nan, Qiao Zijin had her world revolving around him. Chen Jun knew that Qiao Zijin was trying hard to please him and that she had her sights set on him. But because Chen Jun was used to women’s tactics, Qiao Zijin’s actions did not mean much to him.

Besides, Chen Jun was not unlike other men. Not just anyone would have sisters chasing after them at the same time.
