1141 To Say or Not to Say

It was rare that the Zhai family was in such a good mood, and Old Master Zhai and Chief Zhai did not give him the cold shoulder. If Miao Jing did not ask him to stay, he would find ways to stay for dinner.

Tian Dong had high emotional intelligence. He sat down and gave Miao Jing his name card. “Auntie, this is the hospital that I opened with my friend. It is not established for long, but it has a good reputation. We have famous doctors in the capital with us. My friend is a doctor as well. He came back from studying overseas in America. If needed, Qiao Nan can continue to go to the hospital for her checkup. I have already talked to my friend. It will be more convenient for Qiao Nan when she goes for her medical checkup in the future.”

Miao Jing looked at the name card. The doctor that Tian Dong recommended to them was a female doctor. From the information on the name card, the female doctor seemed to be very competent.

But the Zhai family had just been to the capital. They had not been to the hospital and did not know much about the hospitals in the capital.

Qiao Nan was pregnant with her precious grandchild, who was the fourth generation of the Zhai family. Miao Jing had to be very cautious. “Dongzi, thank you for the recommendation.” She would take her time to check. If the doctor was indeed highly skilled, she would then allow Qiao Nan to continue to go to this doctor for her checkup.

“You’re welcome.” Tian Dong smiled politely.

Qiao Nan was pregnant. Everyone in the Zhai family was elated. Even if the men in the Zhai family knew that he had other intentions toward Zhai Hua, they also did not give him the cold treatment.

Tian Dong knew this would be the case and so he made use of the chance to stay for dinner.

This was the best time to leave a good impression on them.

Since Qiao Nan was pregnant, she was the most precious person in the family.

Qiao Nan woke up feeling good the next day and intended to return to her work at the Palace Museum.

Initially, the Zhai family was against it. Qiao Nan was pregnant. She could not afford to have any accidents or to take a fall.

Qiao Nan assured them that she was well. If she was uncomfortable, even if she had to give up on her social practice, she would make sure to take a leave to stay at home.

Furthermore, she was already two months pregnant. In the past two months, she had been studying at school and working as a volunteer guide at the Palace Museum. This proved that the work was not too tiring for her.

What happened yesterday was purely an accident. If not for Yu Xiaoxiao who kept pestering her, Qiao Nan would not have felt giddy or almost took a fall.

Qiao Nan sounded convincing and she looked energetic and healthy.

Her eyes were sparkling clear, and her cheeks were rosy red. She looked like her usual self. Miao Jing debated with herself for a long time before she agreed for Qiao Nan to continue with her work as a volunteer guide.

Qiao Nan went to work at the Palace Museum as a volunteer guide and interpreted for the visitors. What she did not know was that Miao Jing, who did not feel assured, asked Zhai Hua to go with her to watch Qiao Nan secretly, making sure that she was alright.

The mother and daughter kept a close watch on Qiao Nan for the entire day.

Miao Jing had to be sure that Qiao Nan was able to handle the job as a volunteer guide and that she did not put up a strong front.

Thankfully, Qiao Nan was telling the truth.

Qiao Nan was young and pretty, and she was good with her words. Whenever she helped out at the Palace Museum, she would take the initiative to attend to the visitors.

Therefore, Qiao Nan was very well-liked by everyone and they took great care of her. Her peers also treated her courteously. They would never ask her to carry heavy things or do tiring work.

When it was time to change the large carton of drinking water at the office, Qiao Nan only needed to call for help and someone would help replace the carton of water on the water dispenser.

Zhai Hua observed anxiously while she assured her mother. “Look. As I have said, apart from the Qiao family who are blind, everyone gets along very well with Qiao Nan. If she is willing, I don’t think anyone will dislike her. She has high emotional intelligence.”

Qiao Nan had told her about her classmates at the university and Zhai Hua could totally understand her situation.

In the past two months, Qiao Nan either went for classes or studied at the library. She also needed to work as a volunteer guide at the Palace Museum. She did not even have time to miss her husband, let alone develop new friendships at Peking University.

One would certainly be proud to be a student at Peking University.

Qiao Nan was cool and reserved and she would not join in the fun. Moreover, she performed very well in school. It was not surprising that other students were jealous of her.

Zhai Hua had done a check on Yu Xiaoxiao.

Yu Xiaoxiao had said that she would not show up at Qiao Nan’s workplace again and would not pester Qiao Nan. She would work on improving herself before she applied to be a volunteer. True enough. She did not show up today. Since she no longer bothered Qiao Nan, Zhai Hua decided to let her off and did not ask her to be responsible for her actions yesterday.

Zhai Hua did not tell Miao Jing about Yu Xiaoxiao. She was worried that if she told Miao Jing about yesterday’s incident, Qiao Nan would not be allowed to work at the Palace Museum anymore. Her mother might even feel that it was too dangerous for Qiao Nan to study at Peking University. After all, Yu Xiaoxiao was in the same faculty as Qiao Nan and she used to share the dormitory with her.

Yesterday, she felt awkward to spend such a long time with Tian Dong by herself, so she brought Tian Dong with her to visit Qiao Nan.

Thankfully, she was there. Otherwise, Qiao Nan might have really taken a fall and her nephew and niece might be in danger.

But since Qiao Nan and her baby were alright and Yu Xiaoxiao did as she promised and never came to pester Qiao Nan again, Zhai Hua had no wish to take issue with her.

“Mom, you should be assured now. Qiao Nan is smart. She would not commit such a mistake. The baby is very precious to her. She must be even more anxious than us.” Zhai Hua acted wisely in retrospect and reassured her mother on their way home.

Miao Jing, who was going to be a grandmother, was in a good mood. She could not be bothered with her daughter. “Yes, you are right. Nan Nan is sensible and well-behaved. I should trust her.”

Qiao Nan had been married for less than three months and she was two months pregnant. She was a good daughter-in-law!

Zhai Hua, who drove the car, stole glances at Miao Jing. Seconds ago, her mother looked ecstatic but she would look sullen the next instant. Zhai Hua was puzzled. “Mom, what’s wrong?” Was she unhappy?

Miao Jing sighed, feeling weary. “It is good that Qiao Nan is pregnant. I am considering whether to share this news with the Qiao family or not.”

The entire Zhai family was truly happy that Qiao Nan was pregnant.

She told her son over the phone about the good news yesterday. He was so thrilled that he kept his mother on the line, while he ran out cheering and wrestled with his soldiers to express his happiness. He came back to continue talking to his mother after he was done with the wrestling.

If Qiao Nan’s parental family was like any other parental family, both families would be elated that Qiao Nan was pregnant.

The problem was the Qiao family was unlike any other parental family.

As the mother, Ding Jiayi would be angry to know that Qiao Nan was leading a good life. She might even curse Qiao Nan, hoping that she would suffer a miscarriage.
