Chapter 305 - The Adults’ Affairs (2/2)

Since she was not in any way related to them, it would not be appropriate for Qiu Chenxi to always spend time at the Zhai’s residence.

“Auntie Miao, I will get going. When I have time, I will definitely come over to accompany Grandpa Zhai.” Qiu Chenxi did not notice that Miao Jing was displeased. After all, Miao Jing had been very good to her and would like for her and Zhai Sheng to be together. Hence, it never occurred to Qiu Chenxi that there would be a day where Miao Jing would be dissatisfied with her.

Qi Minlan stood next to her husband and daughter. “Then, we will go first. Next time, we will discuss what we talked about previously.”

“Let’s talk about it later,” Zhai Yaohui said in reply.

“Brother Zhai, you are back!” Qiu Chenxi turned when she heard the sound of a car approaching. Zhai Sheng and Zhai Hua came back home in the same car.

Today, at the Zhai’s residence, Qiu Chenxi’s biggest regret was that she did not get to see Zhai Sheng. She did not expect to see him right before she left. Obviously, she was destined to be together with him!

“Grandpa, Dad, Mom,” Zhai Sheng greeted his family before politely acknowledging the guests. “Secretary Qiu, Madam Qiu.”

“Zhai Sheng is back.” As soon as he saw his beloved grandson, a big smile broke across Old Master Zhai’s wrinkled face. “Come here. Let Grandpa have a good look at you. Recently, did you have a lot of missions in the army? You haven’t visited Grandpa for a long time that I had to come here personally to see you. If you were still young, I would give you a good spanking.”

“We must serve the country wholeheartedly. Grandpa used to teach me one’s loyalty to the family and country and the delicate balance between them. I have remembered your words by heart.” Upon seeing Old Master Zhai, it was as if a spring breeze had swept across the barren winter land. Zhai Sheng’s love for his grandpa could be seen from his eyes. “Grandpa, let’s have a seat inside.”

“Let’s go. I shall have a good chat with my grandson.”

Old Master Zhai kept nodding. His eyes shone with excitement and said, “Zhai Sheng, I came prepared this time. You will suffer a crus.h.i.+ng defeat and beg me for mercy!”

Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing, who stood behind, stiffened at Old Master Zhai’s words. They had no idea whether they should smile or be angry.

“Goodbye.” Her father-in-law walked into the house with her son with no regards to the guests. However, Miao Jing could not possibly leave them to stand awkwardly in the doorway.

“There’s no need to send us out. We will make a move first.” Fortunately, the chauffeur from the Qiu family had driven the car to the front door. Qiu Qin opened the door for his wife and daughter and they got into the car.

When the car was driven out of the Zhai’s residence, Qiu Qin said coldly, “Why did Old Master Zhai come back at this time?”

“I have no idea.” At the mention of Old Master Zhai, Qi Minlan felt uncomfortable and her face stiffened.

“What’s wrong, Mom?” Qiu Chenxi sensed that Qi Minlan’s hands were cold. She asked out of concern, “Mom, are you not feeling well? Do you want to go to the hospital?”

“No need…”

“After seeing Old Master Zhai, I suppose your mom will feel uncomfortable everywhere. Most important of all, her heart will not be at ease,” Qiu Qin said bitterly.

“Old Qiu!” Qi Minlan sounded helpless. “It has been ages ago. Why would you bring up something that happened a long time ago? Aren’t you afraid that your daughter will laugh at you?”

“What do you mean? Is it something I don’t know of?” Qiu Chenxi knitted her brows. “Mom, what happened between you and Grandpa Zhai?”

Qi Minlan shot Qiu Qin a warning look. She then smiled and patted Qiu Chenxi’s hand. “That is the adults’ affairs. You don’t have to know.”
