Chapter 1584: We Are Going Together
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“I will join you. It’s been long since we went out as a family.”
Zhai Sheng knew that he was the reason that they didn’t get to travel together. He worked hard for many years to become the youngest chief in the country, and he finally had some free time after achieving his goals. This would be the perfect chance to view the magnificent sceneries of his beloved nation.
In a few years, the kids would have to focus on their academics, and there wouldn’t be much time to travel. Their work and marriage would follow soon after, and Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng might be too old to have fun when the children were finally free.
San Bao’s eyes lit up. “Dad, are you serious? Are you really joining us?” She had dreamed of this day since she was a child. The problem was that she could only meet her father a few times a year.
To her surprise, her childhood dream was about to be fulfilled, and she couldn’t contain her excitement.
At this moment, San Bao was ready to cheer as long as Zhai Sheng nodded. This would be the best news that she’d heard in a few days.
Da Bao and Er Bao didn’t say anything, but their curved lips reviewed their joy.
“Yes.” Zhai Sheng didn’t disappoint. He had seen the anticipation in Qiao Nan’s eyes. He loved his wife, and he wouldn’t leave her hanging.
Da Bao showed a bright smile for the first time today. “What about grandma and grandpa?” They were spending less time with their grandparents after starting school. If they were to travel during the holidays, grandma and grandpa would be lonely. “Dad, can we bring grandma and grandpa together with us?”
“That’s right. We should do that!” Er Bao agreed. It would be fun to travel as a family. “We will have enough people to form a tour group if all seven of us travel together!”
Miao Jing was interested in the plan.
Things were a mess in the capital as Qiao Zijin framed Qiao Nan. However, Zhai Yaohui and Qiao Nan told her to stay calm, and all Miao Jing could do was to suppress her anger. When she saw the gloat in the neighbors’ eyes, Miao Jing could feel her blood boil.
It was as if these neighbors wanted to watch the Zhai family fall. If Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan were demoted because of the scandal, someone would have to replace them.
In other words, Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan’s failure would give others in the neighborhood a better shot at promotions. Although they pitied Qiao Nan for having a sister like Qiao Zijin, they were more than happy to watch the show. Most of them were secretly pushing their children to high positions.
Miao Jing really couldn’t bring herself to like these selfish neighbors. When they were in Ping Cheng, the atmosphere was way friendlier than the capital.
That was why Miao Jing was interested in traveling with the family.
The children rarely spent their holidays at home. Before Qiao Nan became the minister, she would take time to bring the kids overseas when she traveled to work. After finishing the job, Qiao Nan would let the kids participate in local events and enrich their lives.
Miao Jing had not had the chance to travel other than business trips with Zhai Yaohui. “Let’s go! Staying in the capital only makes my mood worse. We should free our minds.” Miao Jing raised her hands in concurrence.
Seeing Miao Jing support whatever Da Bao said, Zhai Yaohui glared at her. “Go ahead. I’ll pass.” How could Miao Miao not bring him up when it was a family trip?
“Grandpa, join us!” San Bao knew that grandpa was the final target, and she wouldn’t give up including the whole family. She shuffled to Zhai Yaohui’s side and grabbed onto his arm. “Grandpa, come with us. If you don’t join us, I won’t get to see you for a week. What should I do if I miss you too much? Do you not love me anymore?”
Although Elder Lin and Old Master Zhai had passed, San Bao had never forgotten about them. She knew that this trick would always work on the two of them.
Grandpa was younger than the elders, but she figured that it would work the same.
Just as she expected, Zhai Yaohui couldn’t win against his cute granddaughter. “Alright, stop shaking my arm. Grandpa’s bones are falling apart from this.” He had been trying to remain reserved all these years.
Miao Jing knew that Zhai Yaohui wanted to go with them, but he needed the kids to appease him. ‘How childish. Shouldn’t he be the one coaxing the kids?’
Miao Jing didn’t say her thoughts out loud; all she did was mocking her husband in her heart.
