Chapter 174 - You Will Definitely Like It (2/2)
Talking about phone calls, Zhai Sheng smiled again.
Zhai Sheng had given the telephone number to Qiao Nan one year ago. In the past, he never liked receiving phone calls. However, during the past one year, he had been wis.h.i.+ng for a call from Qiao Nan.
He used to not understand why he would be like this. Now, he no longer had any doubts regarding this matter.
He had initially thought that Qiao Nan had thrown away the phone number. Unexpectedly, Qiao Nan had been keeping it with her all along. There was nothing than this that Zhai Sheng was happier about.
“I am leaving. Go home earlier and put away the money well. Don’t let anyone else find it.” After a few words of concern, Zhai Sheng closed the car door and drove straight to the army.
In fact, Zhai Sheng should have returned to the army three days ago. But in order to let Lin Yuankang take in Qiao Nan as his disciple, he made some special arrangements to delay his return to the army by three days.
Therefore, once today’s matter was settled, Zhai Sheng did not even have any spare time to return home. He must leave for the army immediately.
Looking at Qiao Nan, who was getting smaller as she walked further, from his rearview mirror, Zhai Sheng smiled. It was a pity that he had already returned to the entrance of the quad. Otherwise, he could rub Nan Nan’s head again before he left.
As she did not manage to receive a specific answer from Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan gave a little sigh and said unconvincingly, “If you are not telling me, then I shall find out by myself.”
“Xiao Qiao, where did you go? I have been waiting for you for half a day today!” Someone gave Qiao Nan’s shoulder a strong slap before she could turn around.
Qiao Nan was shocked. “Zhu Baoguo? You… you came back from overseas?”
“How did you know that I went traveling? Were you looking for me?” Zhu Baoguo was pleasantly surprised. He thought Xiao Qiao would not look for him if he did not look for her. “Look, this is the gift I brought back for you this time. See if you like it!”
Zhu Baoguo acted as if he was presenting a treasure and took out the present he was going to give to Qiao Nan.
“Thank you.” Qiao Nan took the gift. “Did you see w.a.n.g Yang when you came back? Did he tell you anything?”
“w.a.n.g Yang? Of course I saw him.” At the mention of w.a.n.g Yang, Zhu Baoguo was unhappy. “I bet you don’t know. We came back yesterday, and it was already past nine when we reached home. Once we arrived home, my auntie brought w.a.n.g Yang back immediately. w.a.n.g Yang called and followed Grandpa around. In the end, my auntie followed Grandpa to his study room. She must be asking for my grandpa’s help because of my uncle. Wishful thinking!” w.a.n.g Yang just harmed him, and he nearly missed the middle school examination because of w.a.n.g Yang. This matter would not be forgotten so easily.
“True enough.” Qiao Nan smiled sarcastically. Fortunately, she did not pine any hopes on w.a.n.g Yang from the beginning. It was lucky that she had Brother Zhai. Otherwise, her father…
“Why did you ask me about w.a.n.g Yang once I came back? Did he bully you?” Zhu Baoguo gave a stare and waved his fists, his aura strong. “Don’t worry. If he really bullied you, I will take revenge for you. I have not been wasting my time in the army. My fists are certainly stronger than that of w.a.n.g Yang!”
It was for the sake of dealing with w.a.n.g Yang that Zhu Baoguo was willing to follow Zhu Chengqi to the army. He was treated like a new recruit as he underwent vigorous training.
He had said that he would deal with w.a.n.g Yang as if he was a small chicken if he dared to do anything to him again!
“Nothing.” Qiao Nan shook her head. “I have received the gift. Go home. My dad will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. I have to tidy up and clean up his room.”
“Uncle Qiao is in the hospital? What happened?”
“Nothing. He had a small accident. He is recovering well now.” Since the matter had already pa.s.sed, Qiao Nan did not want to bring it up again.
“Is he really alright? Since Uncle Qiao is sick, he will have a lot of medical expenses, right?”
