Chapter 1354 Men Were the Source of Trouble

Qi Minlan and Qiu Chenxi did not feel embarrassed at their own behavior. Qiu Chenxi even blamed Shi Peng for favoring an outsider instead of someone on his own side.Shi Peng knew that Qiao Nan was the woman who snatched the man from his niece, yet he continued to help Qiao Nan and hurt Qiu Chenxi. Whenever Qiu Chenxi saw her uncle, there would be a glint of hatred in her eyes.

Qiu Chenxi and Shi Qing did not get along well either. Their relationship was worse than before.

Back then, everyone persuaded Shi Qing to be polite to Qiu Chenxi. However, ever since Shi Qing was friends with Qiao Nan, she no longer gave in to Qiu Chenxi. Since Qiu Chenxi did not know the basic courtesy of a guest, Shi Qing did not go easy on her as well.

Since Qiu Chenxi was shameless, Shi Qing would not suffer in silence or treat her well for the sake of keeping up appearances. Qiu Chenxi was no longer the princess that she used to be and everyone would not suck up to her or give her the best treatment.

Now that Shi Qing changed her attitude toward Qiu Chenxi, Qiu Chenxi did not have a good time staying with the Shi family in the capital. She could not wait to find a suitable man and get married.

She did not want to stay at the Shi family and be given the cold treatment by Shi Qing.

Qiu Chenxi was being treated like a princess for more than twenty years due to Zhai Sheng. It was a pity that he had been snatched away by Qiao Nan. She finally set her sights on Tian Dong a few years later. She thought that she would definitely be able to marry him. To her surprise, someone threw a wrench in the works. Zhai Hua ended up married to Tian Dong and she was pregnant. There was no way they would get a divorce.

Whenever she met Qiao Nan, everything seemed to go wrong for her. It was frustrating.

Qiao Nan was her nemesis.

As long as Qiao Nan was around, she would not have good days ahead.

Several years had passed. Qiu Chenxi was not able to prove that she was better than Qiao Nan so that Zhai Sheng and the Zhai family would regret choosing Qiao Nan instead of her. On the contrary, once again, she fared worse than Qiao Nan. Moreover, when she finally found another suitable man, it was thwarted by Qiao Nan again.

“Qiao Nan, don’t be too smug. You will not win every time.” Qiu Chenxi could not help but shout toward Qiao Nan, who was leaving. “Even if you are impenetrable like a metal bucket, I will be able to make a hole out of you one day.”

She believed if she spent her entire life trying, she would definitely be able to do Qiao Nan in.

Qiao Nan could hear Qiu Chenxi’s threats and ravings. She did not stop but ran all the way and got into the car. Qiao Nan already knew years ago that Qiu Chenxi was dying for her to fall from grace.

Although it was illegal to murder someone, Qiu Chenxi was reckless and could not be bothered. She hired a group of men years ago to give her and Shi Qing a thrashing. They almost ended up maimed or dead.

Initially, Qiao Nan had no intention of getting embroiled into things. But with the appearance of Qiu Chenxi, Qiao Nan felt that it might seem to other people that she was a pushover. Everyone had no qualms about bullying her. Since the other party had gone all out to deal with her, it would be too embarrassing if she continued to take it lying down.

Upon reaching home, Qiao Nan was determined to sort out the complicated relationship between the higher-ups.

She even went into Old Master Zhai’s study room, asking him to help her out. Qiao Nan was busy with sorting out the relationship between the influential families, and she had no time for the triplets. They almost threw their tantrums at her.

Miao Jing was surprised. Qiao Nan seldom acted like this. “I heard that Nan Nan has completed all her lessons in school and she can apply for graduation. What is she up to? Could it be that she wants to take the entrance exams for postgraduate schools and study for a doctorate?”

Miao Jing knew that Qiao Nan was good in her studies. She was unlike her son and daughter. If not for the triplets, given Qiao Nan’s abilities, it was an easy task for her to take the entrance exams for postgraduate schools and study for a doctorate. She had never been to college, so she did not know the details. However, she knew that her daughter-in-law had good results in school and could apply for further studies after she graduated.

Thereafter, she would be able to take the entrance exams for postgraduate schools.

“No. The daughter from the Qiu family is making trouble for Nan Nan.” Zhai Yaohui knew what was going on. There was a harsh competition between different groups in all levels. Since they were of differing views and interests, people would form different factions.

Zhai Yaohui had no intention for his daughter-in-law to get embroiled into the power struggle. The Zhai family would deal with it by themselves. As the daughter-in-law of the Zhai family, it was good enough that she took care of the three children and made sure that she did not make any mistakes.

To Zhai Yaohui’s surprise, Qiao Nan did not shy away from problems or challenges. Now that she was being bullied by other people, she was ready to flash her claws and retaliate so that the enemy would know that she was not someone to be trifled with.

Qiao Nan’s personality made her particularly suitable as part of the Zhai family.

“What has happened?” Miao Jing glared at Zhai Yaohui angrily at the mention of Qiu Chenxi. Whether it was Qiu Chenxi or Qi Minlan, Zhai Yaohui was the one who invited the trouble.

Zhai Yaohui smiled, embarrassed. “Qiu Chenxi wanted to start a relationship with Dongzi, but in the end, Dongzi became our son-in-law. I suppose Qiu Chenxi is angry about it. If not for Nan Nan, she would be able to pick from Zhai Sheng and Tian Dong. She could reject suitors, but the suitors could not reject her.”

Zhai Yaohui was indeed guilty of the accusations.

Since his son did not express his strong opinions of who he wanted to be with and he watched as Qiu Chenxi grew up, Zhai Sheng and Qiu Chenxi might have ended up getting married to each other if Qiao Nan was not in the picture. Zhai Sheng would have agreed to the marriage under the elders’ pressure.

Although he would marry her under the elders’ pressure, Zhai Yaohui knew that they had no control over their married life.

The elders still had the traditional thinking that children had to marry when they grew up.

This was one of the reasons why Qiu Chenxi was bent on making life difficult for Qiao Nan.

Another reason was that if not for Qiao Nan, before Dongzi returned to the country from America with his family, Hua Hua would have been discussing marriage with Wei De. Perhaps, on the day that Dongzi returned to the country, instead of attending the wedding banquet of Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan, the Tian family might be attending Hua Hua and Wei De’s wedding banquet.

Now that he thought about it, Zhai Yaohui could understand why Qiu Chenxi had so much hatred and resentment toward Qiao Nan.

Of course, he could understand but he would not agree with her actions.

“Is she here to make trouble for Nan Nan?” Miao Jing was furious. She could not help but reach her hand toward Zhai Yaohui and give him a pinch. “All that said, it is your fault. You invited the troubles home. If not for you, there would not be all these troubles. Qiu Chenxi would not dash to the Qiao family’s residence, kicking at the door and ranting at Nan Nan like a madwoman.”
