Chapter 1027 Mistook the Bright Pearl for Fish Eye

Miao Jing was showing concern for Qiao Nan like gentle breeze and drizzle.

Before Qiao Nan could utter a word, her stomach grumbled a few times and replied to Miao Jing’s question on her behalf.

“You must be starving.” When Miao Jing was facing Qiao Nan, she was smiling. However, when she turned her head, she shot Zhai Sheng a glare of warning. She seemed to be reprimanding Zhai Sheng for being too much. He should not ‘bully’ Qiao Nan without allowing her to rest.

If he had bullied Nan Nan too much and made her run away, what should they do?

“Auntie, those dumplings that you made earlier, is there still some in the fridge? Quickly prepare a bowl of them for Nan Nan to eat.”

“Aye.” The auntie had long treated Qiao Nan as part of the Zhai family and one of her masters. In fact, that portion of dumplings was specially set aside for Qiao Nan.

She was aware that Zhai Sheng went out to fetch Qiao Nan yesterday. The Zhai family members waited until seven o’clock in the evening, but Zhai Sheng had not brought Qiao Nan home. As such, the auntie had already set aside dinner for Qiao Nan, afraid that they would come back later.

“Thank you, auntie.” Qiao Nan’s head felt stiff as she endured the few pairs of eyes that seemed to be looking at her. She took up the bowl of freshly cooked dumplings and started eating them.

In actual fact, Qiao Nan was really feeling hungry.

Ding Jiayi came in the afternoon. After Ding Jiayi left, Qiao Nan was so angry that she had been drinking. She did not even take her dinner.

Besides skipping a meal, she had been forced to ‘exercise’ with Zhai Sheng for a long time. As one could imagine, Qiao Nan was exhausted and her muscles were aching all over.

In addition, she did not take her breakfast. At the sight of the bowl of dumplings, both of Qiao Nan’s eyes were popping.

The more Qiao Nan behaved this way, the more Miao Jing glared at Zhai Sheng. ‘Look at how you had starved Nan Nan. Clearly, you are so much older than Nan Nan. Don’t you know how to take care of people?’

When she married Zhai Yaohui, although Zhai Yaohui was quiet and had a tough and unyielding appearance, he was very meticulous.

In comparison, Miao Jing suddenly felt that she had not taught her son well. At least, she was worse than her mother-in-law who had already passed on. Both of them had to teach a son. However, this son of hers was too lousy.

It was not only Miao Jing. Even the two ‘old’ men of the Zhai family gave Zhai Sheng negative scores.

At the sight of this, Zhai Hua, who was initially in a bad mood, felt amused. She kicked Zhai Sheng with her leg.

From now onward, Qiao Nan would become the family’s favorite. When Qiao Nan really had children, both Qiao Nan and the children would be the bosses.

Zhai Sheng ignored Zhai Hua. He accepted the looks of blame from his elders and became the scapegoat for Qiao Dongliang, his father-in-law.

As Qiao Nan was in college and often not at home, besides the fruits that the Zhai family insisted to give to Qiao Dongliang, the fridge in the Qiao family was totally empty.

You can’t make bricks without straws.

Even if Zhai Sheng did not wish to starve Qiao Nan, he could not simply cook only white rice for her.

Qiao Dongliang was aware that there was nothing at home but he did not want to trouble Qiao Nan to go marketing and cook herself. He thus allowed Qiao Nan to go to the Zhai family to get a ‘free’ meal.

Zhai Sheng expressed that, from last night onward, Nan Nan had been stamped with his chop from tip to toe and in and out. She was truly his wife now.

Zhai Sheng, who had gotten himself a wife, was in an excellent mood. This was just a small issue. He did not mind taking the blame for his father-in-law whose daughter had just been kidnapped.

Finally, when Qiao Nan felt that she was about fifty to sixty percent full, Miao Jing asked gently, “Nan Nan, did you rest well last night? Do you want to take a nap in Sister Zhai Hua’s room?”

Fortunately, Qiao Nan had already finished eating her dumplings. Otherwise, she would definitely spit them out when she heard Miao Jing’s words.

Even if the deed had already been exposed, Qiao Nan really did not wish to mention what happened last night. Who knows…

“Hahaha, my goodness, this is so funny. Qiao Nan, come and stay at my house. With you around, my broken heart will definitely heal faster.” When she saw Qiao Nan’s extremely red face and that smoke was almost rising from the top of her head, Zhai Hua held her tummy and laughed out loud.

She discovered that her life was actually quite good when she saw someone being more miserable than her.

Qiao Nan was both angry and annoyed. She rolled her eyes at Zhai Hua to complain that Zhai Hua had no conscience.

Zhai Hua patted her chest and laughed. “Don’t be angry. You will be married to Zhai Sheng in two months’ time. You will have to call me sister. Now, just take it that you are pleasing your seniors and elders.”

When she said this, Zhai Hua did not feel bad at all.

At the sight that Zhai Hua’s mood became better because of Qiao Nan’s arrival, the Zhai family was happy. They felt even more satisfied with this daughter-in-law (granddaughter-in-law).

In the future, Zhai Sheng would definitely be the one heading the family. As Zhai Sheng’s wife, if Qiao Nan did not have the capability to help Zhai Sheng manage the domestic affairs of the Zhai family or if she were to add on to his woes, that would be terrible.

At this juncture, Qiao Nan had been doing very well.

It was not just the Zhai family who valued Qiao Nan. The elders in the Zhai family were all aware that Zhu Chengqi also liked Qiao Nan very much and treated her like his goddaughter.

The Lee family also had interactions with the Qiao family.

The Lee family had such connections with the Qiao family all because of Qiao Nan.

Otherwise, even though Qiao Dongliang’s deceased father had saved Elder Lee’s life and had a strong friendship with the latter, the relationship between the two families had already been thoroughly ruined by the unreasonable, shrewish, and ‘short-term thinking’ Ding Jiayi.

In addition, Lin Yuankang, the famous and prominent figure of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was Qiao Nan’s master. He doted on Qiao Nan so much.

Old Master Zhai had received news recently. Although Lin Yuankang did not personally go to the capital, he had already informed his former subordinates and disciples in the capital to find time to guide Qiao Nan so that she could widen her horizons and learn gradually.

Was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs a place for people to learn?

Was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs a place that would casually allow a college student to go in?

Even if Qiao Nan had entered it, she could not do anything. She could only hear with her pair of eyes and listen with her pair of ears.

Nevertheless, as long as Qiao Nan was smart and quick-witted enough, she would be able to pick up skills and gain experience. These were knowledge that an average person could pick up only after going through a lifetime of obstacles.

Old Master Zhai was aware that Lin Yuankang wanted to make Qiao Nan a female diplomat in The Ministry of Foreign Affairs!

Half a year ago, when Zhai Sheng was engaged with Qiao Nan, many people said that Qiao Nan was very lucky. Some said sarcastically that great happiness had befallen the Qiao family as they were able to find such a good marriage.

In one leap, Qiao Nan, a pitiful child who did not receive any love from her biological mother, became the chief’s daughter-in-law. She had designated cars to fetch her everywhere. Wasn’t that akin to the Cinderella in television shows?

Old Master Zhai had never taken these words too seriously. Since he was willing to acknowledge Qiao Nan as his granddaughter-in-law, naturally, he did not mind the Qiao family’s situation.

Old Master Zhai did not bother but this did not mean that he did not understand the situation.

Given Qiao Nan’s current qualities, not to mention the Zhai family, even those few families in the capital would be willing to nod and accept Qiao Nan as a new member of their family.
