Chapter 446 - Not Against It (2/2)

Nan Nan was a heroine.

Zhai Yaohui finally understood the reason Zhai Sheng wanted him to look for Qiao Nan. It seemed like he had fallen for Zhai Sheng’s tricks again.

Qiao Nan was indeed smart. It was no wonder that Zhai Sheng liked her so much.

However, he maintained his stand. At least for now, Qiao Nan was not suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the Zhai family and she could not marry Zhai Sheng. “Why are you in a daze? Go back with me.” Zhai Yaohui looked at Zhai Hua. She had just returned to Ping Cheng and should stay at home instead of hanging out at the Qiao family’s residence. What was wrong with all of them?

“No!” Zhai Hua leaned back in a relaxed posture, refusing to leave the Qiao family’s residence. “I rushed back from the army since I was worried about you and Mom. I am exhausted to the bone. In order to complete the previous mission, I haven’t been sleeping for three days. I’m too tired to move now. I have to rest at Nan Nan’s house for a while.”

Her father would not be able to make up with her mother within such a short time. She did not want to be sandwiched between both of them. Since it was her father who created the trouble, he should suffer for the mistakes that he made.

He was not young anymore, yet he had to seek advice from a young lady. It was so embarra.s.sing!

“Up to you.” Zhai Yaohui left for the Zhai family’s residence.

Qiao Dongliang walked Zhai Yaohui to the door. He had thought of going back home after sending Chief Zhai off, but he remembered that Chief Zhai’s daughter was still in his house. He thought for a while, looked up to the sky, and heaved a sigh. Since it was still early, he decided to look for Old Yang to chat with or to have a game of chess.

Zhai Hua found a comfortable position by leaning back against the sofa. She was in high spirits. She motioned for Nan Nan to sit beside her. “Nan Nan, my dad has left. Come and sit over here.”

“I can’t.” Qiao Nan had a bitter smile on her face.

“What’s wrong?” Zhai Hua sat up and looked at Qiao Nan with a perplexed look on her face. “Are you not feeling well?”

“No, my legs are weak. I can’t move.”

“Your legs are weak… Were you frightened by my dad? Hey, Nan Nan, you are so incredible. When my dad was there, I couldn’t tell that you were scared. I thought you were so much stronger than me and that you were not afraid of him.” Zhai Hua laughed until she cried. It turned out that it was only a false show of bravery.

“No matter what, I couldn’t show him my weakness. How could he question me in an interrogative manner in my house?” Qiao Nan patted her thigh, refusing to back down to Zhai Yaohui. At least, she must not reveal any sign of weakness before the ‘enemy’ left.

“Come here, I will give you a hand.” Zhai Hua helped Qiao Nan over to her side and sat down. “But it’s good to have the confrontation, lest my dad keeps on meddling with Zhai Sheng’s affairs. By the way, were you telling the truth just now? When my mom was young, did someone hint to her that he liked her and ask for her hand in marriage even before my dad?” She had never heard of this.

“It’s true.” She did not fabricate it.

“But my mom never told me about it.”

“Sister Zhai Hua, you have to do some reflection.”

“After telling my dad to reflect on himself, you are telling me to do so as well?” Zhai Hua stretched her hands out in a bid to tickle Qiao Nan.

Qiao Nan grabbed her hands and fixed her gaze on Zhai Hua. “Sister Zhai Hua, I am serious. You have to do some reflection and the same goes for Chief Zhai and Brother Zhai.”

Zhai Hua felt uncomfortable at Qiao Nan’s words. “Nan Nan, are you joking or are you serious?”
