Qiao Nan jumped in shock. “Dad, what did you say? Who came?” As she said that, Qiao Nan wore her clothes and shoes.
“Chief… Chief Zhai, good day.” Coming into close contact with Zhai Yaohui, Qiao Dongliang was so emotionally affected that his face turned red. He actually gave Zhai Yaohui a ninety-degree bow.
“You’re Qiao Nan’s father?” Zhai Yaohui was quite satisfied with that perfect standing posture of Qiao Dongliang.
“Reporting to Chief Zhai, yes, I am!”
“Can I go into the house before we talk?”
“Yes, Chief Zhai!”
When Qiao Nan came out, she saw her father looking like an obedient soldier. He was standing up in a prim and proper manner, while Zhai Yaohui, with a serious look on his face, was like the chief that was reviewing the parade. “Dad, Chief Zhai… Chief Zhai, please come in and have a seat.”
“Thank you.” When he saw the main party concerned appear, Zhai Yaohui simply placed all his attention on Qiao Nan. “Qiao Dongliang, right? I wish to speak to your daughter alone. Can I?”
“Yes, Chief.”
“…”
“…”
At the sight of Qiao Dongliang behaving like a junior soldier falling into his position and standing outside with his back facing them, Qiao Nan was speechless for a moment. Zhai Yaohui was extraordinarily silent as well.
In actual fact, Zhai Yaohui had seen many people like Qiao Dongliang. All the soldiers in the army behaved this way. But because this was the house of the Qiao family, he felt that this was a fresh experience. “Do you know why I am here today?”
“I don’t know.”
“Don’t know?” Zhai Yaohui did not believe her. “You should know clearly what you have done. If not for the sake of Zhai Sheng, I wouldn’t come to the house of the Qiao family.”
Qiao Nan clenched her fists and changed from the nervous state she had been in. She lifted her head and looked at Zhai Yaohui. “I’m not sure about that as well. Chief Zhai, please feel free to speak your mind.”
“Zhai Sheng and you are not compatible. I hope you can take the initiative to break up with Zhai Sheng. Furthermore, I’ve found someone suitable for him. They’re going to be engaged very soon.”
“I reject.” Qiao Nan shook her head. “It’s pointless unless Brother Zhai tells me this himself.”
“Won’t it be too embarra.s.sing for him to come and tell you directly?”
“I’m not afraid of embarra.s.sment. I’m just afraid of not understanding what happened and being like a muddleheaded ghost.”
At the sight of Zhai Yaohui’s eyes that were increasingly sharp and piercing, Qiao Nan bit her teeth and endured.
She initially thought that Auntie Miao would be the one telling her all these. Never did she expect that it would actually be Brother Zhai’s father, Chief Zhai. Moreover, she did not expect that Chief Zhai, who was busy with a myriad of state affairs, discovered the relations.h.i.+p between Brother Zhai and her before Auntie Miao did.
Zhai Yaohui was surprised that Qiao Nan dared to be so firm in her replies to him despite her young age.
“Chief Zhai, is there any other matter?” If there was none, he could leave.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll do anything to the Qiao family?” She had the guts to chase him away.
“You’re Brother Zhai’s father. Given my understanding of Brother Zhai, unless he has grown up the ‘wrong way’, you would not do that. You would not bother to either.”
