Chapter 961: Chapter 949: Evil Meets Its Retribution, Digging One’s Own Grave
Zhan Nanjing looked at the way the three little ones were eating and couldn’t help but comment, “What’s up with you three? You’re eating like you’ve been starving for three days and three nights!”
Su Manhan immediately shot her a glare and retorted, “Is that how you talk? You look more like a beggar. My three precious grandsons are the cutest!”
Zhan Nanjing was momentarily speechless: “…”
In front of the three little ones, she clearly couldn’t hold her ground!
Nearby, Zhan Yao saw the three precious grandsons eating so “fiercely” and quickly reminded, “You three, eat slowly. Eating like this is easy to overeat.”
The three little ones responded verbally, but continued eating without restraint.
After finishing the meal, their tiny bellies became round.
When Qiao Jing stood up to say goodbye, Zhan Qiaomo suddenly turned dramatic, clutching his belly and started to cry out, “Oh no, my tummy feels a bit uncomfortable…”
Zhan Qiaoyu and Zhan Qiaoze quickly followed, also clutching their stomachs, saying they felt unwell.
Though the three little ones were partly acting, they genuinely felt somewhat uncomfortable, after all, they had really eaten a lot!
“They definitely overate. The way they were eating, it’s strange if they don’t feel unwell afterwards…”
Zhan Nanjing didn’t finish speaking before receiving another eye roll from Su Manhan.
Su Manhan snorted, “How can you talk nonsense here? Didn’t you see your three little nephews feeling so uncomfortable?”
“Where am I talking nonsense? I’m trying to find a solution, aren’t I!”
As Zhan Nanjing spoke, she turned and grabbed Qiao Jing’s hand, “Xiao Jing, please help out, see if there’s a way to make them feel better.”
Actually, even without Zhan Nanjing saying anything, Qiao Jing wouldn’t ignore the three little ones.
She first took each of their pulses and confirmed that they were just overeating, which made her relieved.
“Abdominal massage can help with digestion. Aunt Jing will massage you for a bit, and soon you won’t feel uncomfortable.”
With that, Qiao Jing began to gently massage the three little ones’ bellies.
Her movements were gentle, matched with a special technique, quickly relieving their discomfort.
The three little ones, bellies round, were very much enjoying the moment.
By the time the state of the three little ones completely improved, it was already very late.
Zhan Qiaomo clung to Qiao Jing’s arm, coquettishly saying, “Aunt Jing, Aunt Jing, it’s so late, why don’t you stay here tonight?”
Zhan Qiaoyu clung to Qiao Jing’s other arm, looking at her with anticipation, “Aunt Jing, can you stay with us tonight?”
Zhan Qiaoze couldn’t hold her arm, so he simply threw himself into Qiao Jing’s embrace, “Aunt Jing, don’t go. I want to sleep with you. I also want to hear your stories!”
Seeing the three little ones like this, the hearts of those like Zhan Nanjing sighed again.
These three poor children have never had a mother’s company from a young age, so they long for maternal love so much…
Zhan Nanjing’s heart ached for her three little nephews and she joined in, “Xiao Jing, why don’t you stay tonight?”
“Alright.”
Qiao Jing couldn’t bring herself to refuse and ultimately nodded in agreement.
Seeing her agree to stay, the three little ones were instantly overjoyed, their smiles as bright as flowers.
That night, Qiao Jing slept with the three little ones.
The three tussled with each other to snuggle into her embrace, utterly adorable.
Qiao Jing knew the three little ones regarded her as their mummy.
She tenderly held the three and softly said, “You are so good, I believe heaven won’t be heartless and will surely bring your real mummy back to you.”
The three little ones didn’t say anything, but they still believed that their mummy would return to them one day!
That night, with Qiao Jing’s company, the three little ones slept especially soundly.
The next day, before dawn, Qiao Jing awoke.
When she got up, the three little ones were still deep in sleep.
If the three little ones woke up, they’d surely cling to her and not let her leave.
Thus, she could only leave while they’re asleep.
Truth be told, she was quite reluctant to leave too.
Looking at the three little ones on the bed, Qiao Jing unconsciously raised her hand to touch her belly.
If only her child were alive, they’d surely be as smart and cute as these three little ones…
Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Qiao Jing bent down slightly and gave each of the three little ones a gentle kiss on their cheeks, then quietly left the room.
Exiting the villa, Qiao Jing looked back reluctantly towards the room where the three little ones were.
Until the sky lightened, she finally turned away and left.
When the three little ones awoke and found Qiao Jing gone, their faces immediately fell.
During breakfast, Su Manhan noticed the three precious grandsons hanging their heads, looking downcast like wilting eggplants, thinking they were unwell again, quickly asked, “Yubao, Zebao, Mo Bao, tell grandma, what’s bothering you?”
The three little ones didn’t say anything and just shook their heads weakly.
Zhan Nanjing, however, immediately saw the crux of the issue, speaking while eating, “Mom, can’t you see? It’s because Xiao Jing left, that’s why they’re like this. It’ll be fine in a few days.”
The three little ones only ate a few mouthfuls before setting down their bowls and chopsticks, leaving the dining table.
Without Aunt Jing, even the food wasn’t tasty!
…
In the blink of an eye, over half a month had passed.
Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin had been busy with work recently, finally squeezing some time out for a vacation, decided to go shopping for relaxation.
On this day, when they went out, they brought Qiao Jing along with them.
The three had just arrived at the shopping street, hadn’t even started shopping, and coincidentally ran into Yang Xiaoxiao.
Originally, they didn’t plan to pay Yang Xiaoxiao any attention, but Yang Xiaoxiao liked to cause trouble, deliberately blocking their path.
“Oh! Isn’t this the Qiao Family’s three sisters? These are all name-brand stores along this shopping street. Can you even afford it with your shabby looks?”
As she spoke, Yang Xiaoxiao’s tone was mockingly sarcastic, sizing them up with contempt.
Qiao Lin snorted coldly and retorted, “Whether we can afford it or not has nothing to do with you. Why would you concern yourself with idle worry?”
Though their clothes may not be designer brand-specific, Qiao Family was at least somewhat affluent, so where does the unaffordability come in?
Yang Xiaoxiao truly was insatiably bored, or rather, her brain had been squeezed by a door, using anything to poke fun!
At this moment, Qiao Hong suddenly remembered something and sneered at Yang Xiaoxiao.
“By the way, I heard you made a bet with our Xiao Jing, that if she could cure that Zhao Er’s epilepsy within a month, you’d shave your head and eyebrows to resemble a clean duck egg. Is that right?”
Qiao Hong wasn’t present during the bet, she heard about it from Qiao Lin afterwards, who had forgotten about it.
As Qiao Hong mentioned it, Qiao Lin recalled and glared at Yang Xiaoxiao, “Yang Xiaoxiao, it was you who proposed the bet. It’s not yet a month, and our Xiao Jing has cured that epilepsy patient, accept your loss, you need to shave your duck egg!”
