Zhu Baoguo reached out to catch the pillow. Shi Qing jumped out of the bed and punched Zhu Baoguo in the stomach. She then pushed him at his shoulder and slammed the door on him.

Shi Qing put her hand on her waist, looking like a big teapot. “Do you know your manners? How can you kick the door to a girl’s bedroom? You are not only foolish but an idiot. It is not that you have a low IQ. You are simply not using your brains at all.”

If Brother Zhai found out about what happened tonight, Zhu Baoguo would not be able to bear the consequences.

Furthermore, there were other people in the house apart from the Zhu family.

If this was known to others, how was Qiao Nan supposed to face others?

Public clamor could obscure the actual truth, and rumors could kill a person.

Those who spread the gossip would definitely not be telling the truth. They would not say that she was in the room. They might spread tales that Qiao Nan had a rendezvous with her high school classmate on her wedding’s eve. In that case, Qiao Nan would be unable to clear her name.

Zhu Chengqi, who heard the commotion, saw that there was a pillow on his son’s head and he was pushed out of the room by a young lady. He stopped himself from helping his son and said calmly, “Foolish.”

Zhu Chengqi directed his gaze toward Wang Yang.

Wang Yang stiffened. He was reminded that the Wang family had been going downhill recently. He took a deep breath and smiled at Zhu Chengqi. He then went back to his room and shut the door.

Wang Yang eased slightly after escaping from Zhu Chengqi’s piercing gaze.

Wang Yang knew very well from his uncle’s piercing gaze that if whatever happened tonight was known to other people and Qiao Nan’s reputation was ruined, the Wang family would not escape unscathed.

Zhu Chengqi did not care if Wang Yang spread the rumor or not, and neither would he investigate the matter. Nevertheless, the Wang family would have to bear all the responsibilities.

In this way, Wang Yang could not spread the rumor and make use of this gossip such that the Wang family and he could benefit from it. He had to make sure that nobody spoke of what happened tonight.

If someone found out about the incident, Wang Yang must shut the person up right away.

Otherwise, if Qiao Nan’s reputation was affected, it would be at the expense of Wang Yang’s prospects.

After knowing Wang Yang’s personality, even if his sister was married to the Wang family and was their daughter-in-law, Zhu Chengqi no longer treated the Wang family like how he used to in the past. He would not help his brother-in-law either.

Now that the Wang family was without Zhu Chengqi’s protection, they had a more difficult path ahead of them.

If Zhu Chengqi did anything right now, it would be aggravating their situation.

Since Zhu Chengqi knew Wang Yang’s weakness, he was able to have him under his thumb. There was no need for him to say anything. A glance from him and Wang Yang stopped thinking of ways to scheme against Qiao Nan. He pretended as if nothing happened today.

Since he had no way to defeat Zhu Chengqi, he had no other choice but to submit to him.

After giving Wang Yang a warning look, Zhu Chengqi turned to look at Zhu Baoguo. “It’s late. Why aren’t you sleeping? Since you are so energized, wake up at five in the morning to run a few more laps.”

Seeing that Zhu Baoguo was easily sent out of the room by a young lady, Zhu Chengqi was not worried that his son would not be able to find a wife and start a family. Instead, he was worried that his son would be bullied by his wife.

It was good if his future daughter-in-law was capable and would be able to keep his son in check. But the problem was that his son was such a fool. He might be subdued by his wife.

All of them scolded him for being a fool. Zhu Baoguo punched the pillow in anger and returned to his room.

Shi Qing breathed a sigh of relief after knowing that Zhu Baoguo had left. “Why is Wang Yang still at the Zhu family’s residence?” It was the Lunar New Year. Shouldn’t he stay at his house? Why was he at his maternal grandpa’s house?

Shi Qing knew Wang Yang’s temperament. Seeing that he was at the Zhu family’s residence, Shi Qing had no choice but to be anxious and punched Zhu Baoguo, sending him out of the room.

“No idea.” Qiao Nan yawned. Like Shi Qing, Qiao Nan was startled that Zhu Baoguo kicked the door open.

However, Qiao Nan keenly observed that Zhu Baoguo’s attention was only on Shi Qing when he kicked the door open. It was as if she did not exist. Zhu Baoguo did not even look at her.

Furthermore, even though Qiao Nan was lying on the bed, her pajamas covered her from head to toe, and she had a thick blanket on her. Qiao Nan was certain that Zhu Baoguo could not see anything.

Besides, Shi Qing sent Zhu Baoguo out of the room in the blink of an eye. Qiao Nan felt the least worried about his sudden appearance.

By the time Shi Qing returned to the bed and laid by her side, Qiao Nan was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open.

Qiao Nan was not worried that Shi Qing idolized Brother Zhai.

Even if Zhu Baoguo seemed to be at loggerheads with Shi Qing, his behavior said otherwise. Apparently, the two parties had an interest in each other.

It would not be long before things turned out well for those two who were at loggerheads.

Shi Qing had high IQ and EQ, whereas Zhu Baoguo was working to improve his critical thinking skills. Qiao Nan knew that she could get married with a peace of mind.

Shi Qing wanted to keep chatting with Qiao Nan. However, she noticed from Qiao Nan’s even breathing that she was already sleeping soundly.

Shi Qing was amused. “I have been anxious for nothing. I am more anxious than her. What a heartless little girl.”

Lying down beside Qiao Nan, Shi Qing felt reassured and was at ease. Seconds ago, she scolded Qiao Nan for being heartless, but seconds later, she fell into a deep and was sound asleep.

Everyone in the quad knew that Qiao Nan was getting married to Zhai Sheng. Many of them were discussing their marriage.

When they were engaged half a year earlier, all of them said that it was Qiao Nan’s fortune to be liked by the Zhai family.

Half a year had passed and they were holding the wedding banquet and getting married. It finally sunk in that Qiao Nan was getting married to Zhai Sheng and she was the most independent child in the quad who worked her way to success through hard work. Apart from Zhai Sheng, she was the other child who had good prospects in the quad.

The Zhai family’s residence and the Zhu family’s residence were bustling with activities these past few days. The neighbors were envious of their good fortune.

They could not help but talk about it. “Old Qiao, you are marrying off your daughter. You are blessed to have it so easy.”

“That’s right. The Qiao family has the easiest time ever in marrying off their daughter.”

“Old Qiao and his family have such good fortune.”

No matter how the neighbors put it across, what they wanted to say was that Qiao Nan was getting married, but her parents had an easy time, unlike other parents. It was as if they were not marrying off their daughter. Instead, it seemed as if the Zhu family was marrying off their daughter.
