Chapter 1823: Made Her Stand Clear

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Upon hearing Qiao Nan’s cool tone in blessing his son’s remarriage, Father Chen sighed. Having missed it once, his son had missed it for his whole life. Qiao Nan truly did not have feelings for Chen Jun anymore.

Father Chen did not think that his son would not be able to find a suitable partner for marriage even if he were to leave the Qiao sisters. But it would probably be hard to find someone as suitable for marriage as Qiao Nan. He already had an extremely good understanding of Qiao Nan. If a new lady were to appear, no matter how much effort he put in, most of what he understood of that lady would still be superficial or even fake. If they were not careful, they might even end up with another troublemaker in the Chen family. That would not be an ideal situation at all.

It was easy to simply talk about understanding a person and marrying that person. But Qiao Nan was such a person!

“Truthfully.” Qiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Father Chen had understood her intentions. Father Chen was a sly old fox and would never do anything that disadvantaged himself. Chen Jun was still young, after all, and could not stand it. Indeed, she had only been able to convince Father Chen. “Let your son leave. Chen Jun said something that is absolutely right. I’m not young anymore, and I don’t have much time to waste. If someone else sees us and misunderstands, I’ll have no explanation for them. Uncle Chen, you should know that the Chen family still owes me an apology for what happened that year. You misunderstood me once. It shouldn’t happen again, right?”

Qiao Nan deliberately remained ambiguous, allowing Father Chen to misunderstand her words in hopes that he would chase Chen Jun away.

“You have someone in mind?” Father Chen’s tone was a little different. It was not just Chen Jun who misunderstood but Father Chen as well. Would Qiao Nan really not get married if Ding Jiayi did not allow her to do so? Qiao Nan was not a three-year-old child! Could it be that Qiao Nan still had some feelings for Chen Jun? Was that why she had remained single up until the age of forty?

But Father Chen knew that he had been overthinking. It was not that Qiao Nan could not get over his son, Chen Jun, and had been unwilling to start a new relationship. In fact, it was because of the Qiao family that Qiao Nan could not get married even if she wanted to.

If that was not the case, why was it that Qiao Nan suddenly had someone in mind and seemed to be getting married soon after leaving the Qiao family for no more than two months?

Everyone had dignity, after all. After understanding that Qiao Nan did not intend on getting back with Chen Jun, Father Chen did not want his highly-respected son to cling to an old single unmarried lady like Qiao Nan. As such, Father Chen came to a decision. “All right. I’m happy for you too that you’re living a good life. You’re right. The Chen family owes you an apology. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can still come and look for us. I’ll ask Chen Jun to leave.”

People were just so complicated sometimes. Father Chen knew that it would not be easy to find a lady that was more suitable for Chen Jun than Qiao Nan. Thus, he had only allowed Chen Jun to reconcile with Qiao Nan because Qiao Nan would be advantageous to the Chen family.

But now that Qiao Nan had refused and had subtly hinted that she was taken, Father Chen was not going to insist on it and persistently chase after her. In fact, how he truly felt was that Qiao Nan should scram since she was being so picky and choosy even though the Chen family did not even mind her age.

“All right, thank you.”

Even though Qiao Nan had no intention of ever looking for the Chen family, she simply agreed. All she wanted was for Father Chen to chase Chen Jun away as quickly as possible. She was especially afraid that other people would see Chen Jun looking for her.

Then, she might even have to come up with a ton of explanations for Chen Jun’s visit. Qiao Nan did not wish to explain anything personal.

Thankfully, Father Chen was a man of actions. For the sake of his dignity, Father Chen was unwilling for his son to die for Qiao Nan. After a moment of music, the knocks on the door and the confessions ceased. Qiao Nan guessed that Chen Jun must be talking to Father Chen on the phone.

At this moment, Qiao Nan could not help but frown and try to recall what had happened in her dream. In her dream, she had not taken the same path as she had in reality. She had not gotten back with Chen Jun, and she had even suspected that Chen Jun had originally dated her with an ulterior motive. In the quad, the Zhu family had been pretty impressive.

But in reality…

In her dream, she had been a little firmer in her stance. Chen Jun had not continued to pester her and had, in fact, given up. Why were the Chen Jun in real life and the Chen Jun in her dream so different? The Chen Jun in real life was even thinking of marrying her! How frightening!

Qiao Nan, who had goose bumps all over, had overlooked one fact. She had never gotten into a relationship with Chen Jun in her dream. The ever-successful Chen Jun had met with countless obstacles while chasing her. With no feelings between them, there was no way Chen Jun would have developed any feelings for Qiao Nan in the face of all these obstacles.

In reality, Qiao Nan had dated Chen Jun for a period of time and had even reached the point of discussing marriage. Without a solid foundation, after achieving his own goals, Chen Jun could have simply dumped Qiao Nan, let alone marry her. No matter how bad Chen Jun was, it was only natural that he could not be as proud as he had been in her dream because of his feelings.

After hanging up on Father Chen, Chen Jun was flabbergasted. “That’s impossible. He’s lying. I don’t believe him.” How could that be? Qiao Nan was leaving him and had fallen for another guy? And she was even getting married to that guy? That was impossible!

“Qiao Nan, open the door. Tell me truthfully. Which man did you hook up with behind my back? Who could you possibly marry apart from me? Who? Bring that bast*rd out right now. Open the door! Right now!”

On his way here, Chen Jun thought that he might need to suffer a little before getting back together with Qiao Nan. After all, Qiao Nan was not going to forgive him so easily. Chen Jun had been prepared for all that. But Chen Jun had been absolutely confident that he would never fail this mission.

Upon hearing that Qiao Nan no longer liked him and that she even had someone else in mind, Chen Jun could not help but fly into a rage. “Open the door now! Open it!”

Chen Jun shouted as he pounded against the door. After a while, he even used his leg to kick against the door. Looking at the door quaking and the position of the lock shifting a little, Qiao Nan was taken aback.

Chen Jun had once been part of the military police and had spent time in the military. It went without saying that he was powerful. With Chen Jun’s way of kicking against the door, it was highly likely that he would eventually kick the door open. No one would know what might happen once Chen Jun saw her.
