Chapter 1424 The Pride of the Northern Quad
Looking at the way their daughter behaved, Father Tang and Mother Tang felt glad and proud of Qiao Nan’s accomplishments as well. They were happy that their daughter had such an outstanding classmate.
They smiled sweetly at the thought that their daughter had a close relationship with Qiao Nan in high school. Actually, they also felt that the female diplomat who was in the limelight must have been Qiao Nan. But on the other hand, they were worried that their daughter who was thrilled with the news might brag about her classmate before making sure that it was her. It would be awkward if she found out later that she had made a mistake.
Fang Fang watched the news and was in awe. “Mom, Dad, I have been classmates with Qiao Nan for three years. Why does it seem like a dream to me?” Fang Fang knew that her parents played an important role as to what she was today. Her parents made the necessary arrangements for her to receive a good education. She was one step quicker than other people in her learning progress.
But even so, she still had to rely on Qiao Nan to spot the questions before the college entrance examination. It was with her help that she was admitted to a top tier key university. For that alone, her entire family was very grateful to Qiao Nan.
In the blink of an eye, Qiao Nan had reached such heights in the past four years. She remembered that when they were in high school, Qiao Nan had a troublesome mother and a scheming elder sister who would not hesitate to smear her younger sister’s reputation. At that time, Fang Fang felt particularly sympathetic toward Qiao Nan. Qiao Nan had such a miserable life.
Back then, she might be sympathetic toward Qiao Nan, but Qiao Nan never needed her help. Instead, it was Qiao Nan who rendered her help. And right now, Qiao Nan had become a female diplomat!
Fang Fang, who had strong support from her family, would never dare to dream of becoming a female diplomat!
Father Fang looked at his daughter lovingly and he gave a satisfied glance at Gao Yan who had been silently guarding his daughter. “We always know that Nan Nan is an outstanding child. It is not easy for her to come this far.”
Even so, the moment they saw Qiao Nan on television, Father Fang and Mother Fang still could not help but be surprised by the fact that Qiao Nan could get to such heights.
With such a mother and a sister, most people could not imagine the hardships that Qiao Nan had and how she went through them. Although they knew that Qiao Nan’s father, Qiao Dongliang, was much better than his wife and his elder daughter, his father was softhearted and would be easily confused and influenced by other people.
Father Fang and Mother Fang were proud of Qiao Nan’s achievements, but their hearts also ached for the hardship that she had to go through. Hard work made a great success. Qiao Nan worked hard for what she had today.
“Fang Fang, eat this. It is especially fresh.” Gao Yan did not have any comments regarding Qiao Nan. He had known long ago that Qiao Nan would have great accomplishments. Gao Yan knew that Qiao Nan had many unreliable relatives. But she was lucky to know many powerful and influential people.
As long as Qiao Nan was willing, she could have even greater accomplishments, and she could have achieved success many years earlier.
Everything was favorable to her, but she chose to take things one step at a time, and she waited until she graduated to shine and soar to new heights. In Gao Yan’s opinions, he was considered as a patient hunter and businessman and this was a rare quality in his industry. But he paled in comparison to Qiao Nan. He was full of admiration for her patience.
Qiao Nan was even more patient than him and he seldom saw people who bade her time patiently like her.
Qiao Nan could be high profile, but she insisted on keeping a low profile. Gao Yan would not play the bad guy to publicize her information. It was not that he did not want to flatter the Fang family so that Fang Fang would acknowledge him as her boyfriend as soon as possible and to please his in-laws. Instead, it was because he knew that Qiao Nan was too formidable.
After Fang Fang fell out of love, Gao Yan heeded Qiao Nan’s advice and made a Herculean effort, spending nearly two years to gain Fang Fang’s trust and becoming her boyfriend on probation. Given Fang Fang and Qiao Nan’s deep friendship and Fang Fang’s trust in Qiao Nan, if he told them everything about Qiao Nan, Fang Fang might ‘betray’ him and relay everything to Qiao Nan.
If Qiao Nan was angry…
Gao Yan could not help but have goosebumps all over his body at the thought of the outcome.
In order to gain Fang Fang’s affection, Gao Yan believed that the first thing he had to do to marry Fang Fang was to please Fang Fang and Qiao Nan. The next in line would be to please his in-laws.
Therefore, Gao Yan did not dare to offend Qiao Nan. Even if Fang Fang was angry with him, he was sure that it would not cost him his relationship with her. However, if Qiao Nan was angry, Gao Yan knew that things would get serious! He felt a chill at the thought of that!
As a result, Gao Yan was particularly silent on all topics regarding Qiao Nan. He would only pay attention to getting food for Fang Fang. If Qiao Nan had anything that she wanted to tell Fang Fang, she would do so by herself. There was no need for Gao Yan to interfere.
The Fang family of three was having a good time chatting. They did not realize that Gao Yan, who had a good reputation in the industry and was a seasoned and experienced businessman, would turn absolutely silent at the mention of Qiao Nan.
At this moment, the quad in Ping Cheng was extremely lively as well.
“Hey, did you watch the news on the state-owned television channel? I saw Qiao Nan on the news!”
“Yes. I saw her too. I thought I had made a mistake and that I am suffering from presbyopia.”
“Of course not. I saw it too!”
“Is Qiao Nan a female diplomat?”
“Nan Nan is indeed the most promising child in the quad. It’s good that there is someone so outstanding in the quad.”
Several families chatted within themselves while they walked toward the Qiao family’s residence.
“Old Ding, are you at home? Did you and Zijin watch the news on the state-owned television channel tonight? Nan Nan is indeed the most promising child in the quad. She is amazing. She has become a diplomat and she is on television. Old Ding, you have good fortune. How did you manage to have such a good girl?”
“That’s right. I wonder what Nan Nan usually eats. Can you give us some recommendations?” There was no way that their daughters and sons could match up to Qiao Nan. But they could put their hopes on their grandchildren. It would be just as good if their grandchildren could look up to Qiao Nan.
A large group of people sang the praises of Qiao Nan. Instead of feeling happy, Ding Jiayi, who liked to keep up appearances, looked upset.
How to raise a child?
Ding Jiayi would never forget the glances and stares that the neighbors in the quad gave her when Qiao Nan got married to Zhai Sheng four years ago. If Qiao Nan did well, it would only look bad on Ding Jiayi. Qiao Nan had finally gotten married and studied at a college in the capital. It had been four years since Ding Jiayi was ridiculed and put in a difficult position.
