Chapter 838 I Have Seen This Person on Television
Furthermore, Qi Minlan was still considering whether she should continue to stay at Ping Cheng or to go to Mo Du after her divorce.
“Mom, have you gotten a divorce?”
“Yes.” Qi Minlan shook the divorce certificate in her hands. “Chenxi, should we go to Mo Du? Once what your dad did is exposed, we will be implicated if we stay in Ping Cheng. Although we are divorced, if I don’t lend a helping hand, people will say that I am heartless. It is better that we stay away from trouble.” She had already reminded Qiu Qin. It was up to him to save himself.
In the meantime, another pair of father and daughter was discussing the same topic. “Nan Nan, there is no need to be afraid anymore when you are with Zhai Sheng in the future.”
Looking at the divorce certificate, Qiao Nan did not know what to say. She had mixed emotions, feeling bitter and uneasy. “Dad, are you sure you have no regrets?”
“Don’t worry. I have no regrets. Besides, I did not get a divorce because of you. I made the decision for myself. Your mom could not bear to leave Qiao Zijin, while Qiao Zijin cannot stand the sight of you... Given what your sister has done-unless we are millionaires, we do not have the money for her to squander away. Not only is she squandering money, but she almost caused your mom to lose her life too!”
This time, it was Ding Jiayi who was pushed onto the path of a moving car. Qiao Dongliang really feared that he would be the next victim. He even dreamed of it yesterday.
Now that Ding Jiayi was in an accident, the police officers would definitely investigate.
During the investigation, the police officers asked the witnesses what exactly had happened.
Many people could prove that the accident was not caused by the driver. In fact, it was Ding Jiayi who dashed out to the road.
However, after Ding Jiayi woke up, she insisted that she was pushed by someone.
Qiao Dongliang believed her words.
He had said long ago that Qiao Zijin’s plan this time was too dangerous. There was no way that Ding Jiayi would take part in her plan. Since she did not play a part, it would not be possible for the car to run into her. There was only one possibility-she was pushed.
Qiao Dongliang could feel the shivers at the thought of that.
It was such a dangerous move to push Ding Jiayi onto the path of a moving car. Why was Qiao Zijin so certain that she would not die?
Would Qiao Zijin not be anguished at the sight of Ding Jiayi lying prone in a pool of blood? Would she not be worried and scared?
Qiao Dongliang could not understand why Qiao Zijin would be so vicious. Why would she do all these just to stop Qiao Nan from sitting for the college entrance examination?
Could it be that to Qiao Zijin, it was alright to sacrifice Ding Jiayi for an exam?
Qiao Dongliang had no wish to ponder further. The more he thought about it, the more he felt the shivers despite the hot summer in July to the point that he would have to use a blanket at night. “Nan Nan, have you filled in your aspiration and the college that you are going to?”
“The college in the capital,” Qiao Nan replied.
In the previous life, she did not have the chance to go out of the province, let alone the country.
Now that she had the chance, Qiao Nan wanted to visit the capital. As for her college, both she and Shi Qing were not given the choice to choose their own school. Her master, Lin Yuankang already picked a school for Qiao Nan. He also contacted the personnel at the school, saying that his disciple would be studying at the school.
As for Qiao Nan’s teachers... her seniors...
Lin Yuankang had ordered his disciples to coach Qiao Nan. It was brilliant of him to do that.
“Peking University?” Qiao Dongliang knew that Qiao Nan was interested in humanities. He had heard that Peking University’s humanities courses were good.
“Yes.” Qiao Nan nodded. “In fact, Peking University’s humanities and science courses are good. Therefore, Shi Qing is going to Peking University as well.”
“Can she not go...” Qiao Dongliang remembered the conversation between Zhai Sheng and Shi Peng.
Shi Qing was given no choice as to which school she was going to.
“...” Qiao Nan rolled her eyes. Brother Zhai was too much. Why did he insist that Shi Qing went to the same school as her to keep a watch on her?
Qiao Nan knew very well what was on his mind. He wanted Shi Qing to keep a watch on the boys at the school.
“Hahaha, don’t be upset. Peking University is indeed a good school. No matter what, you won’t suffer with Shi Qing around.” It was great that they could study at Peking University together.
There were a lot of students who sat for their college entrance examination every year. Only a few of them would be able to get into a good school.
In the past, Qiao Dongliang felt that it was fine as long as his children could get into a college. Peking University and Tsinghua University were just like a dream to him.
Their financial situation did not allow them to dream of going to such schools. It was beyond their reach.
One should not be too hard on oneself. It was fine as long as they could get into a college.
To Qiao Dongliang, the dream that used to be beyond his reach had come true. There was nothing more joyous than that!
After he was utterly disappointed by Qiao Zijin-if not for Qiao Nan who stayed by his side-Qiao Dongliang might not be able to recover from the hurt.
Because of Qiao Zijin, he doubted his ability to educate and nurture a child. What had he done to raise a child like Qiao Zijin?
Furthermore, he was slowly getting to know Qiao Zijin better. Ding Jiayi, who was with her every day, was hoodwinked by her. Who exactly was the mother and who was the daughter?
Qiao Zijin was very young, but she was able to control Ding Jiayi.
No matter how hard Qiao Dongliang thought about it, he could not understand how Qiao Zijin turned out to be like this. Why did she have such a deformed relationship with Ding Jiayi?
“Hey, I have seen him before.” The Ping Cheng news was on television.
An ancient tomb was discovered in the countryside of Ping Cheng. The tomb owner came from a prominent family and many treasures were buried with him. However, this had already been on the news previously.
Since part of the ancient tomb had been discovered and more would be excavated, it was on the news again to highlight the cultural heritage of Ping Cheng.
As the person who was in charge of the town, Qiu Qin had to go on television as well. He had to talk about how they discovered the ancient tomb and the preservation work that was to be done.
Qiao Dongliang pointed toward Qiu Qin, remembering that he had seen him before. “It turns out that he is the person who discovered the ancient tomb.”
“He did not discover the ancient tomb. He is the director of the town. The villagers at the town discovered the ancient tomb and reported it to the authorities. As the director of the town, he has to be responsible and attend such events.” Qiao Nan knew that compared to the other officials in the town, Qiu Qin, who used to be in Ping Cheng, held a higher position.
Qiu Qin was more adept and experienced at handling such events. Therefore, he had the chance to be on television.
“Wait a minute...” Qiao Nan was stunned. Qiu Qin was Qiu Chenxi’s father. Her father did not know Qiu Chenxi, so how would he know Qiu Qin? “Dad, when did you see him before? Was it on television?”
If her father saw him on television, he should not be so surprised.
“No, I just saw him today.”
