Chapter 939 Soft or Vicious Heart

“Nan Nan, has the matter in the school been resolved?” When she saw Qiao Nan, Miao Jing asked as she was very concerned.

Qiao Nan smiled. “Mom, don’t worry. It has been resolved.” Given that her father-in-law was involved, Peking University would not dare to turn a blind eye. “Mom, this matter is not difficult to handle. Certainly, many people have been misled by that thread. Nevertheless, many did not believe it. Think about it. What kind of place is Peking University? However, there will always be a few exceptions in any place regardless of how good the place is.”

In Peking University, most people were rational and logical. If that was not the case, Qiao Nan would not be able to overcome this so easily in three days.

“That’s good.” Miao Jing understood and nodded. “However, what was the person who posted that thread thinking?” A kept womanwas this something that could be casually said?

Although gender equity was advocated nowadays, to Miao Jing, their society was still more benevolent towards males.

Qiao Nan checked on Miao Jing and found that Miao Jing had almost recovered. She then replied, “Humans are too complicated. I can’t figure out what they are thinking of.”

“How did the school settle it?”

“Issue demerits.”

Miao Jing was a little displeased. “This is such a serious matter and your school only issued demerit. Is the school siding with and covering up for that student? This will not do. I have to tell your dad and ask him to look for your principal. It is fine that they did not take the Zhai family seriously. However, do they not even have basic discipline and values?”

This was heartwarming for Qiao Nan. Her mother-in-law was trying to seek justice for her. “Mom, don’t be anxious. Actually, issuing demerits for that person was my suggestion.”

“Your heart softened?” Miao Jing was puzzled. This matter had already implicated the Zhai family. It did not make sense for the school to settle this matter so easily by issuing demerit.

“Softened?” Qiao Nan gave a complex smile. “I am not sure if my heart is soft or vicious. Mom, have you heard of the saying ‘it’s better to be the head of a dog than the tail of a lion’? That person cannot get up anymore.”

Yu Xiaoxiao and Lü Yan had listened to Tang Jiayun initially mainly because besides Qiao Nan, the remaining three had been reprimanded on their first day of school. Of course, it was also because Tang Jiayun had connections and could help them get into the club of their choice. Yu Xiaoxiao and Lü Yan felt that they had fallen short. That was why they listened to Tang Jiayun and ostracized Qiao Nan.

Due to that matter, Lü Yan already felt that she was lagging behind. Now, Lü Yan had become the only student who had been issued demerit when the school term had just started. In the future, Lü Yan would fall behind even more in Peking University.

Lü Yan would not be able to hide this matter. In particular, Yu Xiaoxiao, who had been deceived by Lü Yan, would find ways to spread this matter to those who were unaware whenever she had the chance to do so.

In this way, who would dare to get close to Lü Yan? Wouldn’t they be afraid to be harmed by her?

Certainly, Lü Yan could continue to study at Peking University, but it meant that all her social ties in the university had been severed due to this matter.

Instead of staying, she might as well leave and transfer to a new place to start afresh. Perhaps her future would be better in that way.

On the contrary, Lü Yan’s development would be restricted from now on. In fact, it could be described as being cut off!

As she was well aware of Lü Yan’s future situation, Qiao Nan really did not know how to reply to Miao Jing’s question of whether she had softened her heart.

Miao Jing smiled. “It’s good that you have a view on this.” After she knew that Qiao Nan did take some issue with the matter, Miao Jing naturally felt more assured.

Given the Zhai family’s status, all sorts of people-fragrant or smelly, good or bad-as long as they encountered a problem, they would come swarming to them like bees and make use of various connections to look for them. If Qiao Nan would relent and help these people when they acted pitiful, to Zhai Sheng and the Zhai family, this was definitely not a good thing. Miao Jing would have to remind Qiao Nan then.

Suddenly, Miao Jing tugged at Qiao Nan and said, “Don’t go back tonight. Your dad is not coming back and I am the only one at home. It’s quite boring. Let’s go marketing and prepare something nice?”

Qiao Nan hesitated for a while. “But when I came out, I didn’t tell Shi Qing that I won’t be back tonight.”

“Isn’t that simple? Just give Shi Qing a call.” Without waiting for Qiao Nan to react, Miao Jing picked up the phone and dialed the number of Qiao Nan’s residence. When Shi Qing picked up the phone, Miao Jing told Shi Qing about the situation.

Shi Qing had always been quite scared of Miao Jing. In the past, she had to respect Miao Jing because she liked Zhai Sheng. It could be because she had been too used to this behavior. Although Shi Qing did not like Zhai Sheng anymore, as soon as she heard Miao Jing’s voice, that cautious manner of hers was exactly the same as that in the past when she was hitting on Zhai Sheng.

As one could imagine, once Miao Jing spoke, besides ‘yes’, Shi Qing could not say anything else. “Thank you, then. Right, remember to help Qiao Nan bring her books to school tomorrow.”

“Okay, Auntie Miao. I will definitely help Qiao Nan bring the books to school.” Shi Qing, who was on the other end of the phone, not only agreed readily but also nodded repeatedly. Although she was doing so, Miao Jing could not see it at all.

After hanging up the phone, Miao Jing raised her brows at Qiao Nan. “Done. Come, let’s go marketing.” Miao Jing held Qiao Nan’s hands as if they were close pals. She then happily pulled Qiao Nan along to shop in the market.

Naturally, the wife of the chief would be chauffeured when she went out.

Hence, it only took a little more than an hour to complete the entire marketing trip and return to the small courtyard of the Zhai family.

“Nan Nan, you will be the main chef. I will help you out, okay?” Miao Jing was bustling in the kitchen. Normally, she hardly cooked when they were in the capital. Now that Qiao Nan was around, of course, they could cook by themselves.

Facing the huge pile of foodstuff on the table, particularly those with a lot of meat and protein, Qiao Nan felt as if she was in a difficult position. “Mom, there is so much meat. There are only the two of us. Can we finish them? It’s better to cook only the portion that we need and store the rest of the vegetables and meat in the fridge. It’s not good for the body to consume overnight food.”

When they were marketing, she had been trying to stop her mother-in-law from buying too much. Unexpectedly, this mother-in-law was an avid shopper. She completely could not stop.

Not to mention half of the food, the two of them could not even finish a quarter of them.

Was it because her mother-in-law’s appetite had improved so much after recovering from her cold and she was craving for meat now?

“No issue, no issue.” Miao Jing smiled and patted Qiao Nan’s hands. “If we can’t finish them, there is still your dad. Your dad may not be coming back for dinner, but when he is back, he will feel hungry no matter how much he has eaten before that. Don’t worry. Our Zhai family doesn’t have the habit of wasting food. Your dad will definitely be able to finish the leftovers that we can’t finish.”

“…” Qiao Nan curled her lips. To let the prominent Chief Zhai eat what was leftover by her… Why did her neck feel cold as if she had been held hostage by someone and there was a knife pointing at her throat?
