Chapter 2416  : Bring Along the Triplets (3)

“Is the school built?”

He knew that Qiao Nan couldn’t stop once she started on something. Of course, they had relied on the inheritance left behind by the Zhu family to hire someone to help Qiao Nan manage the finances properly.

Qiao Nan had obviously spent a sum of money so huge that ordinary people couldn’t earn in several lifetimes in a short span of three years on the project pertaining to the family left behind by revolutionary martyrs and widowed elders. Who knew that while doing a good deed, she met a reliable asset manager? He had pretty much helped her earn back the money that she had spent. Even if there was a loss, it was little.

With such a reliable asset manager around, Qiao Nan became ‘lawless’. She went to do whatever she thought of and didn’t control herself at all.

Qiao Nan summarized the regrets she had in this lifetime. There were three.

Number one, although old people like Zhu Chengqi and Lin Yuankang had wealth that made everyone envious, they didn’t have any relatives to take care of them. Even when they died, they were lonely.

In response to this, Qiao Nan had long taken action. The results obtained thus far were quite good.

Number two, she didn’t have good relationships with her parents.

In response to this, Qiao Nan felt that the only way out was to change her parents and had nothing to do with Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi. Otherwise, even if she were to reborn a hundred or thousand times, she would still be unable to change this situation.

Qiao Zijin’s existence proved this point well.

It wasn’t that Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi didn’t know how to treat their child well or dote on and protect their child. It was because she wasn’t their target that she didn’t receive such treatment.

Qiao Zijin was the targeted daughter. Since young, Qiao Zijin had led such a pampered life.

After thinking about this, Qiao Nan expressed that she’d rather reincarnate and change the two people who had given birth to her. Who knows? She might have the chance to grow up under the care of normal parents.

Number three, she had quit school after being forced by Ding Jiayi and under Qiao Zijin’s scheming plan.

In her dreams, she persevered and didn’t leave any regrets. However, after returning to reality, this regret still existed.

Even if she had studied in adult school and successfully graduated with decent grades, there was always a pain in her heart. She just wanted to walk the path of a normal person. Why was it so difficult after having parents like Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi?

Qiao Nan’s life situation couldn’t be changed anymore. She hoped that other children would have the chance to change their situations and not be like her.

As such, after finishing the work on the nursing home, Qiao Nan donated supplies to schools in the poor mountainous areas.

Qiao Nan discussed with others how much she should donate and what she should donate after inspecting the situation.

Regardless of if Qiao Nan was overthinking or not, compared to donating money, Qiao Nan preferred to buy some in-kind items for the children. She was different from others. Who asked her to be free? She had a lot of leisure time.

Qiao Nan was setting off this time as she wanted to fund her first primary school.

She heard that this school only had thirty-six students. The problem was that these thirty-six students were all left-behind children. Aside from children, they only had elderly people in their homes.

The parents who went out to work only returned home once a year. The elders at home didn’t have much money or food. As such, it was a very difficult thing for the old and the young to lead a good life.

Of course, until now, the information she had on this school was only hearsay. She decided to take a look for herself before proposing a detailed plan.

As such, Zhai Sheng had time to stay at home and be with his wife and children. However, Qiao Nan didn’t have time as she had to return to Ping Cheng and take a look at that school’s situation herself.

In order to avoid causing Zhai Sheng dissatisfaction, Qiao Nan enthusiastically invited Zhai Sheng to participate in this activity of hers. “Brother Zhai, shall we bring along the triplets as well? It can be considered a family trip.”

Zhai Sheng wasn’t as busy as in her dreams. However, he didn’t spend much time with the three children.

Even if Zhai Sheng had time, he mostly stayed at home to accompany the three children. He didn’t have many opportunities to bring them out for a walk.

Qiao Nan felt that they could take advantage of this opportunity. As she worked, it could also be considered a family trip.

Qiao Nan went there to work. If she really brought along the three children and Zhai Sheng, one could imagine that when Qiao Nan was busy, Zhai Sheng had to take care of the three children.

Qiao Nan was also thinking of ways so that Zhai Sheng could have more time interacting with the three children. When they were with him, it was like a cockfight where nobody would give in.

Qiao Nan didn’t understand. Could it be that absence made the heart grow fonder?

In her dream, Zhai Sheng had few opportunities to accompany the three children. However, their attitude toward Zhai Sheng was great. Whenever Zhai Sheng was at home, they would only want to cling to him.

However, in reality, the three children weren’t as affectionate to their father. They even liked to go against him.

It was also because of these differences in reality that Qiao Nan started to be clearer about the differences between her dream and reality.

“…”

How would Zhai Sheng not understand Qiao Nan’s intention? Zhai Sheng knew how the three children were often going against him. However, he didn’t mind.

He had walked this path before as well. There were times when he and Zhai Hua found Zhai Yaohui, their biological father, to be unpleasing to the eye. This even lasted until they became adults.

Compared to them back then, the three children’s attitudes could be considered to be much better.

As such, Zhai Sheng didn’t feel that his relationship with the three children wasn’t good enough and that they needed a family trip to improve the relationship.

However, this was Qiao Nan’s good intentions, after all. Zhai Sheng did intend to accompany Qiao Nan. As for bringing along the three children, it was completely incidental.

It was good to expose the three children so that they understood how blessed they were. They had to cherish their good fortune and not bicker with him so often.

Compared to other fathers, Zhai Sheng felt that he was pretty good and successful as a father.

There was no harm if there was no comparison. The triplets didn’t know how other fathers were, which was why they often went against him.

As a father, he was magnanimous and wasn’t calculative with the three children. However, Zhai Sheng felt that it was a pretty good idea to let the three children understand different ‘styles’.
