1086 Who Is Less Sensible? They just wanted to know whether Qiao Nan had severed ties with the Qiao family and whether the Qiao family did not intend to acknowledge her as their daughter.

Otherwise, why would Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi not help out at all although their daughter was getting married? They behaved like the rest of the neighbors, watching by the side as the Zhai family and the Zhu family prepared for the wedding. It was too odd.

No family would be proud that they married off their daughter in this particular way. It was a shame to the family.

The daughter had married well, but it seemed as if the Qiao family had nothing to do with it.

Everyone seemed to be laughing at the Qiao family, and at the same time, they were baffled by their behavior.

In the past, they knew that Ding Jiayi was unreliable while Qiao Dongliang was a good father. But judging from the current situation, it seemed as if Qiao Dongliang had been led astray by Ding Jiayi, He was behaving strangely as well.

Ding Jiayi did not care that she was being mocked by the neighbors. In fact, she wanted to tell everyone that Qiao Nan refused to acknowledge them as her parents. She even stayed at the Zhu family’s residence days before her marriage.

Ding Jiayi might not feel embarrassed, but Qiao Dongliang felt it unbearable.

Qiao Dongliang knew that Zhu Chengqi liked Qiao Nan very much. He always wanted to take Qiao Nan as his goddaughter. This was why he could accept that Zhu Chengqi helped out with his daughter’s wedding.

Since he was poor, he had no other choice but to accept help from others.

Qiao Nan never demanded any dowry from him and Zhu Chengqi offered to provide the dowry. Therefore, Qiao Dongliang did not read too much into it and accepted his help.

But after being mocked by the neighbors, it dawned on Qiao Dongliang that something was wrong with this arrangement. It was up to Zhu Chengqi to provide dowries for Qiao Nan, but he should not be so shameless to accept them.

Actually, Qiao Dongliang wanted to help out since his daughter was getting married.

But the problem was that it was not that easy to enter the Zhu family’s residence. He would need approval to enter their house.

Even if Qiao Dongliang was willing to make a few more trips to the Zhu family’s residence to help out and the Zhu family did not find it a bother, Qiao Dongliang felt that he seemed to be troubling them instead of helping out.

Besides, during his trip to the Zhu family’s residence, Qiao Dongliang noticed that Zhu Chengqi had everything arranged and settled properly. There was nothing that he could help out with.

The Zhu family worked together to prepare for Qiao Nan’s wedding while he stood by the side in a daze, not knowing what to do. He felt as if he was not needed.

Qiao Dongliang had no other choice but to leave the Zhu family’s residence and to watch by the side with Ding Jiayi as they prepared for the wedding.

As more and more people wondered aloud about the absence of Qiao Nan’s parents in the preparation of the wedding, Qiao Dongliang felt unsettled and began to question himself. Was he marrying off his daughter?

His daughter was getting married, but it seemed as if someone else’s daughter was getting married.

Nan Nan was getting married, but he did not have the chance to have a good chat with her or see how she was doing.

When he first learned that the younger daughter was in a relationship with Zhai Sheng, he treated Zhai Sheng as a bad guy and tried to stop Zhai Sheng from spending too much time with Qiao Nan.

But now that they were getting married, it seemed as if he had washed his hands off them. There was something very odd about it.

“Dad, Qiao Nan is getting married. We are her family. Don’t we need to send her off?” Under Chen Jun’s persistent urging, Qiao Zijin decided to find ways to mend the relationship with Qiao Nan.

But it was not easy to get into the Zhu family’s residence.

Qiao Nan was getting married. She must be proud that the entire quad was busy with her wedding preparations. Qiao Zijin decided that when she married Chen Jun, her wedding had to be grander than Qiao Nan’s wedding and she had to have a more lavish wedding than Qiao Nan.

“Dad, I heard that you have prepared a lot of dowry for Qiao Nan. What have you prepared for Qiao Nan? Tell me about it.” Qiao Zijin was envious that one would have so many dowries when one was getting married.

Qiao Dongliang had been very good to Qiao Nan these past few years to the point he even disregarded her. Qiao Zijin was jealous of Qiao Nan.

Could it be that her father spent all his savings in the past few years to prepare dowries for Qiao Nan?

She was her father’s daughter as well. Since her father prepared so many dowries for Qiao Nan, he had to prepare even more dowries for her when she married Chen Jun!

Qiao Dongliang waved his hand and smiled bitterly. “Nan Nan still has to go to university. Even if she works very hard and is exempted from paying the tuition and miscellaneous fees, we still have a lot of other expenses. I did not have much savings these past few years. How can I be capable of preparing dowry for Nan Nan?”

“Do you mean that you did not fork out a single cent in Nan Nan’s wedding?” Qiao Zijin was surprised and glad. “Zhai Sheng is marrying Qiao Nan. Though you didn’t prepare any dowry, he should have prepared the bride price, right?”

Zhai Sheng was getting married. The Zhai family would not be stingy with the bride price. “Dad, have you kept all the money?”

She might be able to come up with a way for her father to buy a house for her using that sum of money.

Qiao Zijin was tired of staying in the quad.

Everyone in the quad knew about her situation as well as what was going on in the Qiao family.

To Qiao Zijin, Chen Jun was a good match for her. But when compared to Zhai Sheng, every man would pale in comparison.

She had to leave the quad and stay somewhere else so that people would not compare her to Qiao Nan.

Qiao Zijin had done the calculations. She did not want any other dowry other than a house.

After Qiao Nan went to the capital for her college studies, Qiao Zijin had done a check. She knew that the price of housing in the capital was astoundingly high.

The pricing of houses in Ping Cheng had been increasing over the years. Qiao Zijin could tell that a house would not depreciate and was worth a lot of money.

Qiao Zijin might not be good in her studies, but she was very smart in this matter.

Buying a house would be an investment.

In her two lifetimes, when given the chance, Qiao Zijin would make use of the opportunity to buy a house.

Qiao Dongliang did not know about Qiao Zijin’s plan. He was honest with her. “No, I don’t have any money. I couldn’t prepare any dowry for Nan Nan. It is the Zhai family who arranged such a grand wedding for her. I wouldn’t be so shameless to accept the bride price from the Zhai family. My relationship with the Zhai family is not based on money.”

This was the first time that Qiao Dongliang married off his daughter. He only thought of the dowry days before the wedding. How could he possibly be so shameless to ask for the bride price from the Zhai family?

Since the two families never discussed the bride price, Qiao Dongliang did not feel as bad that he was unable to prepare any dowry for Qiao Nan. He was able to watch quietly by the side as the Zhu family busied themselves with Qiao Nan’s wedding preparations.
