Chapter 1105: Comparing Husbands

Chapter 1105 Comparing Husbands

As they were aware that Ding Jiayi wanted sons, these few neighbors often used the topic of son to agitate and mock Ding Jiayi.

After the occurrence of Qiao Nan's matter, these neighbors deliberately came over to watch Ding Jiayi make a fool of herself.

Although these people seemed to be speaking good words and providing good advice, they might not have kind intentions. Ding Jiayi was well aware of this. As such, she couldn't possibly take such hypocrisy in stride.

"Bah, what a shameless fool."

"You don't want such a good daughter. I will wait and see how good your future life will be by relying on your precious darling."

The neighbors were not pleased either. Regardless of their thoughts, they were not wrong in their words.

This was unlike Ding Jiayi, whose words were not only ugly but also boorish. "Ding Jiayi, you show favoritism toward Qiao Zijin and don't treat Qiao Nan well at all. Was Qiao Nan picked up on the streets by Old Qiao and you? Given your behavior, we cannot tell that you are Nan Nan's biological mother at all."

"What biological mother? Since she doesn't treat Nan Nan as her biological mother, Nan Nan may not have this mother in her heart too. We're in for a good show."

The power and wealth that was within her easy reach were gone. Given Ding Jiayi's character, this was worse than dying for Ding Jiayi.

Today, so many people were fawning on and praising Qiao Nan. In contrast to Qiao Nan, who had been flattered as if she was from heaven, Ding Jiayi had been shot with ugly and infuriating words from the few extremely sharp-tongued aunties. Moreover, each of their words was directed at Ding Jiayi.

In stark contrast with the limelight on Qiao Nan was the scoff on Ding Jiayi that was marked with sarcasm. Ding Jiayi was so agitated. She wished that she had never given birth to Qiao Nan, this unfilial daughter.

"Mom, the bridal car fleet should be arriving soon. Should we proceed to the house of the Zhai family for the wedding banquet? No matter what, the one getting married today is my biological sister." Qiao Zijin spoke. Most likely, she had finished noting down the dowry. "Mom, don't drivel with these people. Don't you feel hungry after talking so much? The wedding banquet organized by the Zhai family does not welcome any Tom, Dick or Harry."

The Zhai family had so many formidable friends and relatives. Certainly, they would not invite any Tom, Dick or Harry to their house for the banquet.

These people were, at most, good at quarreling and using their mouths. In reality, what else were they good at?

"Right. What you have said is correct." Ding Jiayi was at the top of her anger. "Today, my daughter is getting married. The main entrance of the house of the Zhai family welcomes my attendance. This door is not open for anyone on the streets."

"Hahaha, so shameless."

Instead of feeling angry, the neighbors laughed with amusement. "A few days ago, which mad woman was shouting and yelling at the main door of the house of the Zhai family? In the end, her voice even turned hoarse. Yet, she did not manage to meet the family. This is truly a very successful biological mother, one who is dignified. Wonderful."

"Why are we driveling with this kind of people? Do you think such a good child like Nan Nan will be as stuck up as her? Nan Nan has already said. She grew up in the quad and received so much care from us over the years. She is getting married. Of course, as old neighbors, we are privileged to attend her wedding banquet. In terms of handling interpersonal relationships, Nan Nan is a lot more successful than her biological mother. Who exactly is the mother, and who is the daughter?"

"Isn't that so? I have prepared a big red packet for Nan Nan. This child is very pitiful. Fortunately, she is also very blessed."

"Yes, yes. Her biological mother doesn't dote on her. As aunties and grandmothers, we should take more care of her."

"What is happening? What do you mean?" Each and every of the neighbor's words, flaunting their prowess, went into Ding Jiayi's ears. "How is it possible that you're fit to attend this wedding banquet?!"

"Nan Nan invited us. Why can't we do so?"

"Nan Nan is getting married. As a mother, you don't even know what is happening, yet you still have the shame to mention this. How embarrassing. Nan Nan is someone with a conscience. Otherwise, why do you think the canopy is set up in such a way?"

Having finished their words, these people were really unwilling to bother about Ding Jiayi anymore.

They did not expect that, as the bride's biological mother, Ding Jiayi's knowledge of the situation was not more than that of them, the neighbors.

It was obvious that Ding Jiayi's attitude to Qiao Nan had not changed at all although four to five years had passed. Qiao Nan did not have many feelings left for this mother.

After figuring out this situation, the neighbors felt that poking any more fun at Ding Jiayi would be a waste of their time. There was no need for them to bother about such people. She deserved it.

Qiao Zijin's expression changed. "Mom, did Qiao Nan really invite everyone in the quad to the banquet?" She did not believe it!

When she was a child, she was clearly the one who was being praised the most in the quad. She was labeled as the most obedient child. Now, many of her childhood playmates and former classmates from junior and senior high school looked down on her. They were all unwilling to talk to her, and they rolled their eyes as soon as they saw her.

Qiao Zijin had always thought that the residents from the northern district of the quad would feel envious of her or bitter that they did not have the chance to participate in the wedding banquet organized by the Zhai family.

When the time came, she would lift her chest and walk into the southern side of the quad in front of the envy eyes of those childhood friends. She would attend the wedding banquet that they were not eligible to.

Although she had a very poor relationship with Qiao Nan, she was still Qiao Nan's biological sister. Qiao Nan could not kick her away at such times. She could still enjoy the limelight and be proud of it.

Qiao Zijin had it all planned, but the blow of reality was too great.

"The bride is here. The bride is here."

Before Qiao Zijin could come to her senses and receive a response from Ding Jiayi, she heard the children's shouts and cheers. "The bride is so pretty."

"Sister Nan Nan, you're so pretty. Your clothes are so beautiful."

"Yes, yes. Sister Nan Nan is so pretty."

Clearly, Qiao Nan was wearing a veil that covered her head. Nevertheless, children's minds were pure. They felt that the bride was the most beautiful person on earth. They did not even see Qiao Nan's face but the words of praises popped out from their tiny sweet mouths as if those words did not cost any money. There was so much joy. It was rare that even Zhai Sheng, this ice mountain, melted. He took the red packets from his hand and distributed them to those sweet-tongued children.

It was as if the wedding sweets did not cost money. They were continuously stuffed into the hands of the old and young friends in the quad.

Very soon, with the joyous atmosphere, everyone had almost forgotten about their unhappiness with Ding Jiayi. They were immersed in the event and even squeezed the mother-daughter pair, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin, to the back of the crowd.

The sharp-eyed Qiao Zijin could clearly tell that the phoenix coronet and robes that Qiao Nan was wearing today was that beautiful and elegant dress that she and her father saw when they were at the house of the Zhu family.

Qiao ZIjin clenched her fists and punched her thighs a few times. She silently vowed to remember the total number of sets of clothes that Qiao Nan changed into on this wedding day.

On the day that she married Chen Jun, she must have one more set of clothes than Qiao Nan!

Qiao Zijin was taking it very seriously. She really wanted to make comparisons in everything, including the clothes.

Qiao Zijin, who was beyond self-redemption, forgot to compare one thing: the husband! If Qiao Zijin could compare her husband with that of Qiao Nan, that was true capability then!
