1095 Make Use of the Chance to Benefit from I

“To put it bluntly, the Zhai family is an illustrious family. It is not that easy to be married into such a family. All that talk about equality is crap. By the time Zhai Sheng is tired of Qiao Nan, he will divorce her and kick her out of the Zhai family. By then, it will be our turn to shine.”

Ding Jiayi believed that the day would come. She also believed that it would come very soon.

“Mom, don’t worry. I understand. I have the same sentiments.” Qiao Zijin nodded. “Therefore, before Zhai Sheng divorces her and we are still in-laws, I will think of ways to benefit from their relationship.”

Qiao Nan did not know or care to know what Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were thinking about.

To many people, this was a long night.

Qiao Dongliang, who barely had any sleep, looked at the clock that said it was four o’clock in the morning. He sat up from the bed, put on his clothes, and rode his bicycle to the Zhu family’s residence.

The Shi family drove the car to the Zhu family’s residence. They could tell that they were not the only ones on the road.

Feng Cheng was not in a hurry. She was not marrying off her daughter.

If not for Shi Qing, who was willing, and Shi Peng, who agreed with her, she would not allow her daughter to be Qiao Nan’s bridesmaid. Given Qiao Nan’s family background, she did not deserve Shi Qing as her bridesmaid.

However, in the Shi family, Feng Cheng was the minority. It was one against two. Even if they were democratic, her objection would still be invalid.

“Shi Peng, it’s so early in the morning. You don’t even allow me to have a good sleep. It’s just a meal. Do we have to be there at such an early time?” Feng Cheng felt sleepy, so she was easily rattled. She was reluctant to get into the car. She wanted to rest at home.

If she reached there before the stipulated time, it would be showing respect to Qiao Nan. Why should she do that?!

Shi Peng pulled a long face. “Today is the day Qiao Nan is getting married to Zhai Sheng. Everyone is in a good mood. Stop throwing tantrums and making everyone unhappy. You must not forget who you are. If you feel sleepy, fine, you can go back to sleep. You can come by yourself after you have rested well.”

Shi Peng knew the reason why his wife disliked Qiao Nan.

He did not think of changing Feng Cheng’s attitude. He knew that she was unhappy. He had even thought of giving her some money for her to go on a holiday to have some fun. Shi Peng would not care whether she went shopping or go on a trip with the money.

Although Shi Peng suggested her to take a break, Feng Cheng refused to listen to him.

After knowing that Shi Peng and Shi Qing were determined to attend Qiao Nan’s wedding, an unhappy Feng Cheng insisted that she wanted to tag along as well.

The Shi family would be giving a red packet to Qiao Nan. Since they had given her a large amount of money as her wedding gift, Feng Cheng had to attend the wedding.

Even if she did not have a big appetite, she could still have her meals at the wedding banquet.

Feng Cheng was not calculative. But at the thought that the bride was Qiao Nan, Feng Cheng refused to be taken advantage of by her.

Although Feng Cheng insisted on going, she was upset that Shi Peng insisted on going early in the morning. “As I have said, we are only there for a meal. We are not there to help out. Why do we have to be so early? Shi Peng, don’t you find your behavior unreasonable? It’s fine that you are behaving oddly, but why do you allow Qing Qing to go along with you? Luckily, we have been married for years and I know you well. Otherwise, I would have suspected that Qiao Nan is the daughter that you have with another woman.”

The Feng family had many grandchildren, but Shi Peng did not treat them as good as how he treated Qiao Nan.

Feng Cheng was upset that he treated an outsider better than the children of his relatives.

Shi Peng was already in a bad mood. His mood turned sour and his expression darkened at Feng Cheng’s words. “You can get down the car. You can disregard Qing Qing’s friendship with Qiao Nan, but I cannot disregard that Zhai Sheng is my disciple. If you don’t want to have this meal, you can go back home. Let me tell you. It will not do the Feng family any good to provoke the Zhai family.”

“I won’t get down the car and I won’t go back as well.” Feng Cheng closed the door shut. “Fine, I will not throw any tantrums or make any comments. Will that do?”

Feng Cheng behaved herself after seeing that Shi Peng was angry with her.

One of them was her husband while the other was her daughter. It was not worth it to affect her relationship with them because of an outsider. She was not that stupid.

Feng Cheng sighed. Had she known this would happen, back when Shi Peng arranged for her to leave Mo Du to go back to her parental family, she should not have followed his arrangements to go to the capital just because she missed her parental family.

If she gave up everything and went to Ping Cheng to stay with Shi Peng and Qing Qing, all these would not have happened and they would not have been so close with Qiao Nan.

During the years that she was away, it was Qiao Nan who was with Shi Peng and Shi Qing.

Feng Cheng felt that it was her fault that Qiao Nan was able to take advantage of her absence to be close to her husband and her daughter.

She was Shi Peng’s wife and Shi Qing’s mother.

As long as she was willing, she would be able to regain their trust and affection.

By the time the family of three was back on good terms, she no longer needed to be mindful of Qiao Nan. When that day came, even if she asked Shi Peng to help Qiao Nan when she was in trouble, he might not be willing to help her.

Feng Cheng might be unhappy, but she was aware of her position in this relationship.

Shi Peng reined in his temper now that Feng Cheng behaved herself. He did not insist that she get down the car. “Remember your words. Consider it for the Feng family’s sake. You must know what to say and what not to say on such an occasion. Everyone in the Zhai family, from the old master to the siblings, likes Qiao Nan very much. Don’t look down on Qiao Nan in a pique of anger and offend the entire Zhai family. If you really do that, you will have to think about how you are going to explain to the Feng family by the time you go back to the capital.”

Shi Peng did not ask too much of Feng Cheng. She only needed to stand by his side and refrained from making any comments.

If needed be, he would be in charge of mingling with others.

“Understood.” Feng Cheng might have looked down on Qiao Nan, but the Zhai family was not to be trifled with.

Feng Cheng knew that her parental family wanted to be on good terms with the Zhai family.

Feng Cheng had to think of ways to be on friendly terms with the Zhai family for her parental family’s sake. She would never offend the Zhai family.

It was because of the Zhai family that she allowed her daughter to be Qiao Nan’s bridesmaid. If not, even if they got into a serious quarrel because of the issue of being Qiao Nan’s bridesmaid, she would never allow her daughter to go with her wishes. Qiao Nan did not deserve it.

Feng Cheng calmed down. “The Zhai family has always been staying in the quad. Why is it that no one arranged for you to stay in the quad after you left the army?”
