Chapter 2015: Didn’t Understand It

Zhai Sheng patted Miao Jing’s shoulders in comfort. Then, he wanted to carry Qiao Nan downstairs.

Qiao Nan immediately thought of Zhu Chengqi. “Brother Zhai, before we go, should we visit Old Chief Zhu?” Zhu Baoguo was gone. The entire Zhu family was left with Old Chief Zhu. Old Chief Zhu was willing for her to be married off from the Zhu family again. This meant that he similarly wanted to treat her as a daughter, just like in her dreams.

Upon thinking about this, a trace of gloom flashed past Qiao Nan’s beautiful face for the first time. Qiao Nan didn’t forget how Chen Jun, that scumbag, had appeared in her life. The culprit who caused all of this was staying in the Zhu family, just like her. This made Qiao Nan feel extremely uncomfortable.

If not for Zhu Chengqi’s kindness and compassion toward herself, Qiao Nan would never want to have anything to do with Wang Yang in her life.

Zhu Baoguo was gone. Wang Yang had deliberately attracted that group of gangsters to teach Zhu Baoguo to commit crimes. However, that happened so many years ago. Also, most from that group of gangsters had escaped back then. Even if Qiao Nan wanted to clarify the matters, she didn’t have any evidence and they were mere words without a factual basis.

Wang Yang, who was walking over, heard Qiao Nan’s words. Wang Yang raised a corner of his lips and there was a trace of contempt in his eyes. If not for Zhai Sheng being blind and willing to marry Qiao Nan, a person with Qiao Nan’s background would definitely not have the chance to enter the Zhu family’s house in this lifetime. With him around, he would definitely not let Qiao Nan lower the Zhu family’s status.

That was just a thought. Qiao Nan’s lowly status was a thing of the past. After Qiao Nan married Zhai Sheng, her status would skyrocket. As such, Wang Yang was polite and cheerful on the surface. “The bride looks beautiful and her heart is more beautiful. Thank you for your kindness. My uncle’s not in good health and prefers the quietness. It’s your big day today. Don’t delay it and keep your relatives and friends waiting.”

“…” Qiao Nan clenched her hand on Zhai Sheng’s shoulders tightly and grabbed his shirt unhappily. She wanted to ask if it was really Old Chief Zhu who wanted the quietness or that Wang Yang deliberately wanted to prevent him from seeing outsiders.

Upon thinking that Wang Yang was now young, strong, and in his heyday, even if Old Chief Zhu was a mighty tiger, he was now an old one. If Wang Yang was up to no good, Old Chief Zhu might not necessarily be Wang Yang’s match. Furthermore, Wang Yang always had ill intentions toward the Zhu family and was eyeing it.

“We’re not in a rush.” Zhai Sheng understood Qiao Nan’s insistence. After carrying Qiao Nan downstairs, they headed to Zhu Chengqi’s room. “Old Chief Zhu, it’s Nan Nan’s and my big day today. Thank you for your help in making our wedding run so smoothly. Nan Nan and I would like to offer you a cup of tea. Is that alright?”

Zhu Chengqi lifted his weak eyelids and responded. “Drinking a cup of tea is alright.” If Baoguo was still alive, he would already have grandchildren now.

“Old Chief Zhu, please drink tea.” Qiao Nan’s face lit up when she heard Zhu Chengqi’s agreement. Perhaps Zhu Chengqi’s kindness to her incorporated a little of the intention to do bad things with best intentions. However, from Qiao Nan’s perspective, she was still thankful to this elder who didn’t have any blood relationship with her for willing to treat her as his daughter for two lifetimes. Such kindness was not given to her by her blood relatives.

“Old Chief Zhu, drink tea.” Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan knelt side by side. It was considered that they had given a big present to Zhu Chengqi. With such a formal tea ceremony, it was as if Qiao Nan wasn’t borrowing the Zhu family’s house to be married off but instead, the Zhu family’s daughter was about to be married off.

When Wang Yang, who had been standing by Zhu Chengqi’s side and guarding him, saw this scene, the sense of uneasiness in his heart returned again. If Wang Yang’s eyes could turn into daggers now, Qiao Nan would have been stabbed to death.

If you’re getting married today, just get married. Why must you offer tea? Our Zhu family has nothing to do with you, Qiao Nan. You’re not going to depend on our Zhu family just because we lent you a piece of land, right?

If there was a choice, Wang Yang would prefer to spill Qiao Nan’s and Zhai Sheng’s cups of tea. If his uncle wanted to drink tea, he could make ten pots for him, let alone a cup. After all, they were outsiders pretending to be good. Who cares about their tea?

Regardless of Wang Yang’s mentality, Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng eventually offered tea to Zhu Chengqi. Not only could Wang Yang not splash the tea, but he even had to properly receive both cups of tea from their hands and hand them over to Zhu Chengqi. “Uncle, blow it. Be careful. It’s hot.”

Zhu Chengqi looked at Wang Yang. “There’s no need to. It’s good enough that I’ve received their kind intentions. Leave them aside. Since you have offered me tea, I can’t possibly let you do so for nothing. I’ve prepared this red packet for you. Take it. Since you’ve decided to get married, both of you have to accommodate each other and lead a good life. Don’t get addicted to divorces after experiencing it once.”

Zhu Chengqi’s last sentence was directed at Zhai Sheng. Zhu Sheng was remarrying now. This was Qiao Nan’s first marriage. As such, the problem of being addicted to divorces didn’t fall on Qiao Nan.

Zhai Sheng was once again surprised. It seemed that it wasn’t accidental that Old Chief Zhu asked Nan Nan to be married off from the Zhu family. At least, these words proved that Old Chief Zhu had a good impression of Nan Nan. “Old Chief Zhu, don’t worry. I’m marrying a wife home to love and will take care of her well. Nan Nan’s different from the previous one.”

The other was given to him by his parents. He had found the person before him himself and worked hard to pursue her. As such, both of them couldn’t be compared together. This was unfair to both Nan Nan and him.

“Yes.” Zhu Chengqi agreed with Zhai Sheng’s explanation. To be honest, if Zhu Chengqi didn’t think this way as well, how would it be so easy for Zhai Sheng to marry Qiao Nan? He wanted to acknowledge Qiao Nan as his goddaughter but had not succeeded until now. However, if he wanted to be a matchmaker and introduce someone good to Qiao Nan, that was much easier. “Both of you will lead a good life. Go ahead. Don’t delay the auspicious timing. I’m tired as well, so I have to rest.”

“See, Chief Zhai?” Once Zhu Chengqi said he was tired, Wang Yang immediately chased them away. When Zhu Chengqi didn’t want to drink the tea Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng offered to him initially, Wang Yang couldn’t help but curve his lips. He thought that Zhu Chengqi treated Qiao Nan just like that and didn’t have any special significance. He had really scared himself previously.

Who knew that his happiness didn’t last for more than three seconds?

Zhu Chengqi’s final words to Zhai Sheng seemed to strike Wang Yang’s heart as well, and Wang Yang felt a headache. Wang Yang looked at Zhu Chengqi with complicated eyes. What exactly was his uncle thinking? He really didn’t understand him.
