Chapter 1712 Asking
"Okay." Qiao Dongliang's face froze. He didn't expect that Zhou Xing would be so straightforward when he calmed down: "You...you understand better than your mother. Fortunately, you have only lived with Ding Jiayi for three years, and the old couple of the Zhou family taught you well. I don't want to discuss you in this regard. What I can say is that if you have been growing up with Ding Jiayi, I am very worried that you will become the second person like your mother."
Qiao Dongliang finally understood why Zhou Xing did not return to Ding Jiayi until the Zhou couple died.
It seems that Zhou Xing grew up with the Zhou couple, and Qiao Nan must have arranged it. Ding Jiayi is completely abnormal, or she really doesn't know how to teach children at all. Ding Jiayi can only mislead children.
Zhou Zheng was very ruthless to Zijin, but Zhou Zheng's performance in other aspects was normal. If he hadn't been deceived by the woman behind him, Zhou Zheng wouldn't have been so cruel to Zhou Xing. Compared with what Ding Jiayi did, what Zhou Zheng did was just a drop in the ocean.
"Grandpa, it's getting late. I have to go back to school first. Can you go back by yourself?" Zhou Xing didn't want to sit there any longer. After her grandparents passed away, her world collapsed. She felt that the world was so big, and she was the only one left. Her biological father showed his claws and was planning how to skin her alive and swallow her into his stomach.
When she was about to feel helpless and hopeless, her grandmother appeared and pulled her out of the Zhou family's quagmire. She cared for her, took care of her, and considered her in everything she said and did, which made her feel warm again as if her grandparents were still alive.
"Oh... What a sin." Seeing Zhou Xing's devastated look, Qiao Dongliang was also heartbroken. Zhou Xing's failure to express his opinion at this time was the most obvious statement. Others say that children of poor families grow up early. When Zijin was young, he was too happy and had never suffered any hardship, so he was so naive. After being taught badly by Ding Jiayi, he could never learn his lesson.
Zhou Xing is different. Zhou Xing is a child who has suffered and endured hardships.
In this life, it is true that people cannot have it all smooth sailing. Only by knowing what is sweet and what is bitter, and after experiencing all kinds of hardships, can such children stand firm.
Zhou Xing promised Qiao Dongliang that she would not look for Zhai Xin anymore, and would not have any ideas about Zhai Xin for the time being. Later, she really did so. Usually, Zhou Xing has a lot of tasks to learn dance at school. Even without Zhai Xin as a boyfriend, Zhou Xing is still very busy and has no time to investigate the things that Qiao Dongliang told her.
When the May Day holiday came, Zhou Xing did not tell Ding Jiayi that she was going back to Pingcheng, but quietly bought a plane ticket back to Pingcheng and secretly went to Qiao's courtyard.
Zhou Xing lived with Ding Jiayi in the Qiao family compound for three years, so she knew Ding Jiayi's daily routine very well. She knew that Ding Jiayi must not be in the compound at this time, but went out to buy groceries. So Zhou Xing knocked on a few neighbors who were closer to the Qiao family and asked about some things that happened in the past.
Everyone in the compound knew that Ding Jiayi took Qiao Zijin's daughter to raise. At that time, some people expressed doubts, hoping that Zhou Xing would become the second Qiao Zijin.
Qiao Nan was the most proud child in their compound, and was a role model for everyone to set for their own children. However, facing such an outstanding child, Ding Jiayi just couldn't like him, and even tried to create trouble for Qiao Nan, which made Qiao Nan's career suffer a lot.
If Zhou Xing really becomes the second Qiao Zijin, these old neighbors can't help at all and can only feel sorry for Qiao Nan. How come such a good child has such stubborn relatives? Fortunately
, Zhou Xing didn't have any special performance in the past three years. Three years passed without any trouble. Zhou Xing knew that her academic performance was only above average and not excellent. If she took her academic performance as an example, she wouldn't have any good performance or development.
Fortunately, she practiced dancing since she was a child and
had a lot of skills. In the three years she lived with Ding Jiayi, in order to fight for a good future for herself, Zhou Xing knew what her strengths were and simply put all her time on her strengths so that her strengths could be better demonstrated. Zhou Xing lived in the Qiao family's small courtyard for three years, and had no contact with the neighbors in the large courtyard, nor did they talk to each other. But when
Zhou Xing asked about the Qiao family's life when the four of them were still together, the neighbors were very surprised. It was rare that Zhou Xing was willing to ask, and these neighbors told him everything they knew.
After finishing speaking, the neighbor was afraid that Zhou Xing would not believe what he said, and he also said: "What Ding Jiayi did was too ugly. How many people were lost in our compound. Your mother...your mother was corrupted by Ding Jiayi. Really, I'm not afraid of you asking, but everyone who lives in the compound knows about your Qiao family. Also, if you still don't believe it, I'll write you an address. After Lao Qiao divorced Ding Jiayi, he took Nan Nan to live in this place. The father and daughter hid like this, but Ding Jiayi didn't let Nan Nan go and always made trouble for Nan Nan. Therefore, people nearby will also remember these things."
"You are Zijin's child. Zijin is gone. Besides, when Zijin was young, he was a very good child. We won't say much else, lest you, the child, be sad. Your mother was delayed by Ding Jiayi. She didn't meet a good mother. Old Qiao... only knew how to work and didn't care about the family too much. Sigh, now that I think about it, your mother is actually a pity."
When he was alive, Qiao Zijin, like Ding Jiayi, was hated by everyone in the compound. But now that he is gone, everyone's attitude towards the deceased is always softer. Gradually, they feel that if there was no misleading by Ding Jiayi, how could such a good child in childhood become like that after growing up.
"These are all matters of your Qiao family. It is not convenient for us outsiders to say too much or to intervene too much. But child, you are Zijin's daughter, and we really don't want to see you follow your mother's old path. Your grandmother may not have bad intentions towards you and your mother, but she really doesn't know how to be a good mother to a child. In the future, you just need to come back and see her occasionally."
"Thank you, thank you, I know." Zhou Xing replied dryly.
