Chapter 1847: Understanding the Situation

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

This was not the first time she was being looked down on by Wei De anyway. In her dream, Wei De had even tried to form an alliance with her even while despising her, wanting to enter the Zhai family with her help.

So Sister Zhai Hua had actually married Wei De and had a daughter, Jiajia?

Zhai Hua had gotten married and had given birth to a daughter. It was just that her relationship with her family had not been as amicable as it had been in her dream. It was obvious that the Zhai family had something against the person whom Zhai Hua had married. As such, Qiao Nan had been curious about whom Zhai Hua had married in this lifetime.

It seemed unexpected, yet expected, that Zhai Hua had indeed married Wei De in the end and that Jiajia was her daughter with Wei De.

Thinking about everything that had happened in her dream, Qiao Nan was unsure of whether she had gotten more muddleheaded, or whether she had gotten clearer in her mind. Was her dream really a dream? Did it really have nothing to do with reality?

Perhaps it was just like the psychiatrist had said. She had not paid attention to these details, but that did not mean that they did not exist. She could have unintentionally seen information regarding the Zhai family, remembered it, and projected it in her dream. That was why everything she knew about the Zhai family was coming true in real life.

Based on this explanation, she must have seen the news of Zhai Hua marrying Wei De and had some impression of it. And she must have heard some rumors to have had a ‘profound’ understanding of Zhai Hua’s relationship with Wei De.

No, that was not the case. Definitely not.

Qiao Nan seemed to have gotten on to something but did not dare to believe that something like that was happening to her. If she wanted to find out whether her guesses were true, it was simple. She would just have to ask a few questions. Given the Zhai family’s status, their family’s affairs had never been exposed to the public.

As long as she looked up all the news reports regarding the Zhai family and compared them to what had happened in her dream, she believed that she would have an answer very soon.

Wei De himself was not welcomed by the Zhai family and had even expressed his own dissatisfaction toward Qiao Nan. This was a rather ridiculous situation. Miao Jing was especially worried that Qiao Nan would be angered by Wei De’s words and attitude. If Qiao Nan bore a grudge against them, she might just move out since she had been ‘kidnapped’ here by her son anyway.

Qiao Nan, who was lost in her own thoughts, had no time to think about leaving or preventing more misunderstandings. Her only thought now was to prove whether her dream had been an illusion or whether her dream reflected reality.

“Auntie Qiao, where’s my room? Can you bring me there?” As a good daughter, she would help clean up the mess her father had created. If Auntie Qiao were to leave, her grandparents would surely hate her father even more. She had finally met her grandparents and wished to spend the new year with them in a joyful mood.

It was just as well since Qiao Nan wanted to prove her suspicions. “All right, I’ll bring you around the Zhai family’s house. We have quite a few empty rooms. You can pick out the one that you like and I’ll help you tidy it up.” Qiao Nan was not the owner of the house, while Wei Jiajia could be considered as half an owner. As such, Qiao Nan would not make the decision of assigning a room to Wei Jiajia.

“All right. Thank you, Auntie Qiao.” Wei Jiajia breathed a sigh of relief. Her dad had treated Auntie Qiao so impolitely, but Auntie Qiao had not even gotten angry and had even treated her just as well as she had earlier. Auntie Qiao was such a good person. No wonder her grandpa and grandma protected Auntie Qiao without even caring about her dad.

In the past, she had never understood why her maternal grandma’s family disliked her father. Today, Wei Jiajia finally understood why her grandma’s family had such an attitude toward her dad.

“Auntie Qiao, I apologize on my father’s behalf for his words. My dad has been spoiled and pampered by my grandma and Mom. He’s like a child. Please don’t hold it against him. Sometimes, I get mad at him too!”

Yes, her dad had been spoiled by her grandma and her mom. Sometimes, her dad was even more childish than her own classmates.

“That’s all right.” Qiao Nan shook her head. Wei De’s attitude would never hurt her. She was already used to such treatment, after all. “Jiajia, can I ask you a few questions? I… I’ve lived with the Zhai family for quite some time, and I know that your grandpa and grandma miss you very much, especially your grandma. She always hugs your photo, saying that you look really good in that photo. But why is it that she only has a photo of you from your childhood? She’s touched it so much that the sides of that photo have turned yellow. Jiajia, do you not like your grandma’s family?”

Zhai Sheng was divorced and was childless. Besides, he was always in the military. Apart from each other, the old chief and Auntie Miao had no one else by their sides. It must have been lonely celebrating the new year alone all these years. Without any doubt, what they looked forward to the most was naturally Jiajia’s arrival.

“Ah…” Wei Jiajia did not want to talk about that since it was her family’s own dirty laundry, but Auntie Qiao seemed to have a special relationship with her family. She could very well become her uncle’s wife in the future. In that case, Auntie Qiao would eventually find out about her family’s situation. So should she tell her about it now?

Seeing that she had put Wei Jiajia in a tight spot, Qiao Nan quickly changed the conversation topic. “Jiajia, I heard that you have an elder brother over at your paternal grandma’s house.” Did Wei Wei really exist like he had in her dream?

Qiao Nan could be sure of one thing. When she had still been living in the quad, Zhai Hua’s marriage to Wei De had not made such a big splash like it had in her dream, and not everyone had found out about how Zhai Hua had found someone who could not match up to the Zhai family. In fact, she had found someone with absolutely no qualifications.

It had been such a huge matter in her dream because of her ‘big mouth’, causing Wei De’s relationship with his ‘sister’ to be exposed. Zhai Hua thought that she had been cheated on. That was why it had gained so much attention. Without all those scandals, her marriage should have been rather low-key in this lifetime.

Since there had not been any news of her marriage, it was impossible for the news of the Wei family having an unmarried daughter who had a son out of wedlock to spread. Dirty linen should not be aired in public, after all. The Zhai family would not want others to know that they had in-laws like that, and neither did the Wei family want others to know about such a stain in the family, which would result in them being even less qualified to be the Zhai family’s in-laws.

“I guess grandma has told you all about it.” Auntie Qiao was indeed going to become her aunt. There was no running from it.

“Is his name Wei Wei?” To be absolutely sure, Qiao Nan was unwilling to let go of even the smallest details. It was best to clarify such matters in case she got into a misunderstanding and thought that she was going crazy because she was unable to differentiate between her dream and reality.

“Yes, his name is Wei Wei.”
