Chen Jun’s words echoed in Qiao Zijin’s ears. She had thought that there was no chance of her ever getting together with Chen Jun. So what if she had slept with Chen Jun? He wasn’t owning up to it.

But two months later, the depressed Qiao Zijin found that she hadn’t been getting her period.

Qiao Zijin had gone to the gynecologist to test her urine uneasily. When she received the news that she was pregnant, she was over the moon. She was pregnant with Chen Jun’s child!

When Qiao Zijin had told Ding Jiayi about this, Ding Jiayi had chosen to stand on Qiao Zijin’s side without any hesitation.

Ding Jiayi had already been complaining about how such a good man like Chen Jun should have been Qiao Zijin’s instead of Qiao Nan’s to begin with.

Now, everything was falling into place! Chen Jun was going to become her elder son-in-law instead of her younger son-in-law!

Upon hearing that Chen Jun had refused to admit to sleeping with her, Ding Jiayi used Qiao Zijin’s pregnancy to force Qiao Nan to back down. Then, she contacted Chen Jun’s parents to let them know that Qiao Zijin was pregnant with a son.

They were both adults, and Ding Jiayi didn’t think that the Chen family would place more importance on their daughter-in-law than their grandson.

Just as Ding Jiayi had expected, the Chen family insisted on Chen Jun breaking up with Qiao Nan and marrying Qiao Zijin for the sake of that child.

The day she married Chen Jun, Qiao Zijin felt like she was the most blissful woman in the whole world.

But when Chen Jun refused to hold a grand wedding, Qiao Zijin gradually realized that her marriage with Chen Jun would never be as blissful as she had imagined.

In their ten years of marriage, Chen Jun had gradually started spending less time at home and was spending more time sleeping outside instead.

The scratches on Chen Jun’s back, the hickeys on his neck, and perfume that didn’t belong to her constantly reminded Qiao Zijin of what Chen Jun was doing outside.

What annoyed Qiao Zijin the most was the smell of perfume on Chen Jun that would always change from time to time.

Qiao Zijin understood that this change meant that Chen Jun’s mistress had changed again.

Under such torment, Qiao Zijin had been unable to hold it in and had followed in Chen Jun’s footsteps. Unfortunately, Qiao Zijin had been caught red-handed by Chen Jun on her second time, and they had quickly gotten a divorce.

From then on, Qiao Zijin felt that Qiao Nan had found a shaman. Qiao Zijin’s life was going downhill, while Qiao Nan’s life was only getting better and better.

While she had gotten a divorce, Qiao Nan had gotten married.

Her dad had become biased toward Qiao Nan, and she had lost a supporter.

In the end, she hadn’t even managed to keep her mom, Ding Jiayi, and she had even become the woman whom Ding Jiayi hated the most because she had driven her husband to death.

Hahaha.

But nothing mattered to her. So what if her father died? So what if her husband got a divorce from her? She had nothing to fear. She had a son, after all!

What brought Qiao Zijin to her ends was that it seemed like she wouldn’t even be able to hold on to her son. Her son gravitated toward Qiao Nan, treating Qiao Nan like his biological mother.

Qiao Zijin felt aggrieved. She didn’t believe that the heavens would be so unfair to let Qiao Nan suppress her for her whole life.

Qiao Zijin had waited and waited. And finally, Ding Jiayi died.

It was just as well. After her death, Ding Jiayi could finally reunite with her father. At the very least, Ding Jiayi would no longer blame her for her father’s death.

And then Qiao Zijin waited and waited. When she heard that Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng had passed away on the same night, she had laughed so much that her stomach hurt.

Hahaha! Reality proved that she was the final victor. Qiao Nan had died before her, and she was the one who had won!

Because of how hard she had laughed, Qiao Zijin had been sent to the hospital.

After doing a full-body checkup on Qiao Zijin, the doctor diagnosed her with end-stage cancer. There was no cure. If Qiao Zijin wanted to undergo chemotherapy, it would be a great burden on her body.

Even if they could prolong Qiao Zijin’s life, they wouldn’t be able to cure her.

It wasn’t that Chen Feng and Jiajia didn’t have the money to pay for the chemotherapy. They could help Qiao Zijin prolong her life.

Qiao Zijin would probably have kicked up a fuss if they hadn’t been willing to fork out that sum of money.

Besides, the couple had lost the mood to do anything after attending Qiao Nan’s and Zhai Sheng’s funerals. They simply wanted to solve Qiao Zijin’s problems as soon as possible without any trouble.

To Chen Feng and Jiajia’s surprise, Qiao Zijin decided not to treat her illness.

She didn’t have much longer to live anyway. It was much better to die in peace and comfort than live in torture.

Within a month of being discharged, Qiao Zijin passed away. To be honest, Qiao Zijin felt that she had lived a sufficiently long life. Especially after knowing that Qiao Nan had passed away, Qiao Zijin felt that there was no meaning to her life anymore.

Before taking her last breath, Qiao Zijin couldn’t help but think about how Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng had died while holding each other’s hands. It went without question that their ashes had been placed together and that they would be together even after death.

As for her mom…

No matter how much conflict they had had while they had been alive, her parents’ ashes had been placed next to each other after their deaths.

As for Chen Jun?

That man who had been dead for decades wasn’t lonely either. He had his parents, at the very least.

What about her?

Her son?

Qiao Zijin didn’t even dare to think about it. Qiao Nan’s three children and Zhai Sheng practically treated Qiao Nan like a princess and pampered her endlessly.

Apart from transferring a monthly allowance to her, her only son would visit her only once a year during the new year.

Worse still, they lived in the same city.

While Qiao Nan was still alive, Chen Feng almost visited her every day with her granddaughter and grandson. Yet, she had never even met her grandchildren.

Her son was closer to Qiao Nan than her! Could Qiao Zijin possibly count on her grandchildren, whom she had never even met, to place more emphasis on their biological grandmother than Qiao Nan?

In fact, the two children might not even know of her existence!

As Qiao Zijin felt her breathing getting more labored and that she was getting more tired, she knew that she was about to die. Qiao Zijin’s lips had been curled upward even after her death. She had finally been able to escape this life.

But as she smiled, she shed an especially bitter tear.

All of Qiao Zijin’s last thoughts could be summarized into a sentence. If she had a next life, she didn’t want to meet Qiao Dongliang, Ding Jiayi, or Qiao Nan. All she wanted were normal parents and to grow up in a normal environment…

She had lived an exhausting life!
