Chapter 842 What Kind of Logic Was That?
How Wei De had relied on Zhai Hua to rise previously, he would definitely fall in the same way.
“Alright, Hua Hua. I admit that I’m in the wrong in this matter. I didn’t handle it well enough. I apologize to you. Actually, I didn’t target Qiao Nan because of Zhai Sheng. I’m afraid that you will laugh at me if I tell you. Qiao Nan’s background is not much better than mine but she’s smart and your mother treats her like her own daughter. I’ve been thinking. Why do humans have different fate? I’m jealous of her. She can easily receive your family’s affirmation while your parents are not even willing to address me as Xiao Wei after I tried so hard for so long.”
Once Wei De acted pitiful, Zhai Hua really could not bring herself to flare up. “Don’t be like this. In comparison, Qiao Nan has worked harder than you. She has known Zhai Sheng for more than four years. My mom has also known her for more than four years. In the initial few years, my mom clearly expressed that she would not accept a daughter-in-law such as Qiao Nan. Nevertheless, it has not even been two years since I first brought you to see my parents. Qiao Nan did not have it easier than you.”
The only edge that Qiao Nan had over Wei De was that she appeared early and she was young when she did. She did not miss out on much of her youth during these four years.
Even if it was another four years, Qiao Nan could also afford to go through them.
She was different from Wei De. She was already thirty years old and Wei De was older than her by a couple of years. At the thought that very few people at this age were not married or did not have kids, Zhai Hua felt very vexed too. “How is auntie’s health recently?”
“How else can she be? Yearning for a grandson has almost become her psychological problem. Actually, my parents prefer grandson to granddaughter but I’m already at this age. A few days ago, they called me and told me to quickly give birth to a grandchild, be it a grandson or a granddaughter, for them. There are so many people in the countryside. Peers of my age already have kids who are schooling. I’m the only one left. Clearly, I’m the most successful one but I have not married, let alone have kids.” Wei De smiled grimly and he sounded very pitiful.
“Since auntie has already said that, why didn’t I see you try harder? Instead, you keep provoking my parents, testing their limits. Even Zhai Sheng is annoyed with you now. Everyone says that he that loves the tree loves the branch. You know that Zhai Sheng loves Qiao Nan. Although you shouldn’t be the one currying favor with Qiao Nan, you’re in a relationship with me and my parents approved of Qiao Nan earlier. You can’t be jealous of her. We will be one family eventually. If you can gain Qiao Nan’s favor earlier and let Qiao Nan help you put in a few good words in front of Zhai Sheng, it’s much more useful than you doing ten things.”
If they could not succeed by working on Zhai Sheng first, then they would work on Qiao Nan first.
If Qiao Nan was willing to acknowledge Wei De, this brother-in-law, Zhai Sheng would certainly silently approve of him as time passed.
After winning over Zhai Sheng, as long as he nodded in front of their father occasionally, her father’s attitude would soften and her mother would not be a problem anymore.
This was a chain with links. It was just that from now onward, Qiao Nan was the first link in their family!
It was fine that Zhai Hua did not mention this. Once she talked about it, Wei De’s face turned black. It was not as if he had not tried it before. In the beginning, he had tried to work on Qiao Nan but failed.
Now, in hindsight, Wei De admitted that he had looked down on Qiao Nan being just a senior high school student then. He felt that with the existence of Qiu Chenxi, this bright pearl, the Zhai family would not be so muddleheaded to really allow Zhai Sheng marry Qiao Nan. At most, he would date Qiao Nan to pass time.
Who would have expected Qiao Nan to have such great capability? She actually sweet-talked Zhai Sheng into marrying her and even the two main elders in the Zhai family had agreed.
If he had known that there would be today, he would have treated Qiao Nan with a better attitude during that time. At the very least, he would not act and think so highly of himself.
Between Qiao Nan and him, whoever entered the Zhai family first had won. Qiao Nan was the victor. He had to concede defeat even if he did not wish to do so.
“Qiao Nan… Teacher Xiao Qiao is not old but she’s quite mature. Most likely, she won’t be cajoled so easily. After much difficulty, she has finally been acknowledged by the old chief and Madam Zhai. Once she knows that the old chief and Madam Zhai did not acknowledge me, will she be willing to care about or even help me?” If it were him, he certainly would not lest he became implicated in the end.
“Qiao Nan is quite a good person. She’s different from those mercenary people. Shi Qing, the daughter of your former Officer Shi in the army, actually likes Zhai Sheng since she was a child. Initially, she was studying at Mo Du but she specially transferred to Ping Cheng High School to compete with Qiao Nan for Zhai Sheng. It is just that Shi Qing is a good lady. Even if she needs to compete, her methods are open and honest. She never uses underhand methods. Qiao Nan is so big-hearted. She became good friends with Shi Qing. Now, Shi Qing has forgotten me, her sister. She sides with Qiao Nan so much. As such, one can definitely trust Qiao Nan’s character.”
How many women had the capability to transform her rival-in-love to friend, let alone best friend?
When she thought about how much Shi Qing sided with Qiao Nan, Zhai Hua still felt so jealous even today.
The praises that Zhai Hua had for Qiao Nan angered Wei De so much that he rolled his eyes. “Fine, then I’ll give a good thought on how to make Qiao Nan affirm me and be willing to help us.”
Shi Qing was the good one, so although she was Qiao Nan’s rival-in-love, she could receive Qiao Nan’s affirmation.
That said, he had looked for Qiao Nan twice but she rejected by him without any hesitation or giving him any face. That meant that he was the bad one?
What kind of great logic was that?!
After Wei De hung up the phone, Zhai Hua frowned and continuously stared at the phone.
Qiao Nan had guessed one thing correctly. Zhai Hua liked Wei De so much because she experienced from Wei De all the love, care, and concern that her parents did not give her sufficiently during her childhood.
Wei De, who was usually cared for and doted on her in all ways, now treated her like any other lady and hung up the phone first. How would Zhai Hua feel in her heart? Furthermore, Wei De was the one who was in the wrong.
Since that phone call until today, Zhai Hua had not contacted or even met Wei De.
Since the two had been in a relationship, this was the first time that Zhai Hua had not contacted Wei De for such a long time. On the other hand, Wei De wanted to let Zhai Hua use this period of time to calm down and think carefully about their future.
Given such thinking and behavior of Zhai Hua, god knows when he would be able to marry Zhai Hua. One could not always be so inflexible. She should know how to improvise.
As such, the situation between the two became somewhat stagnant. Undoubtedly, the Zhai family was very pleased to see such a scene.
Marriage was not dating. There were many opportunities to quarrel in the future because of matters pertaining to daily necessities or even children.
During dating, before a couple was married, the couple should quarrel more. After more quarrels, they would have an idea on whether they were suitable for each other without the need for others to advise them.
Zhai Hua did not mention Wei De in front of the Zhai family members. The atmosphere in the Zhai family became more harmonious. “I think when the old master knows about this, he will be quite happy. The old master should arrive tomorrow, right?” Zhai Hua reminded them.
“I’ll go and fetch him,” Zhai Sheng immediately replied.
