“Not this time.” Zhu Chengqi’s expression darkened. He had not expected that his son would be so weak that he would lose to a young lady like s.h.i.+ Qing. Back then, he and s.h.i.+ Qing’s father joined the army at the same time.
At that time, it was s.h.i.+ Peng who lost to him. But every dog has his day. Ten years later, he had a son, while s.h.i.+ Peng had a daughter!
His son had an advantage over s.h.i.+ Qing because of his gender, but he still lost to her. This time, even without Qiao Nan’s reminder, Zhu Chengqi had already decided to make Zhu Baoguo go through hardcore training. He was such a disgrace to him.
“Alright, that’s about all. Uncle Zhu, you must take care of yourself. Goodbye.” After settling Zhu Baoguo’s affair, Qiao Nan had nothing else to say to Zhu Chengqi.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Nan sighed. Because of Chen Jun, she did not wish to keep in touch with the Zhu family if possible, particularly Zhu Chengqi.
In this life, Zhu Baoguo was still alive, but Zhu Chengqi had the intention to take her in as his G.o.ddaughter nonetheless. In the previous life, Zhu Baoguo had pa.s.sed away. If it was according to what Zhu Chengqi said, that she resembled the daughter he and Zhu Baoguo’s mother had wanted to have, then it was highly possible that Zhu Chengqi had wanted to take her in as his G.o.ddaughter in the previous life.
Even though she could only be Zhu Chengqi’s G.o.ddaughter, given her status as his G.o.ddaughter, w.a.n.g Yang, who was the nephew, could never compare to her.
So, in fact, she could say that it was because of the Zhu family that w.a.n.g Yang targeted her and saw her as an eyesore.
Sometimes, when Qiao Nan thought about it, she felt that in a few lifetimes back, not only had she owed her mother and Qiao Zijin, but she might also have owed the Zhu family and Zhu Baoguo.
Two days later, after Qiao Nan had her breakfast, she hummed a rhyme and carried the schoolbag on her back, getting ready to go to school. She was in an especially good mood.
The school would be giving out the report cards, loads of summer break homework, and exam papers for practice to the students today. But it did not affect Qiao Nan’s good mood.
“Nan Nan, you’re in a skirt today!” Nan Nan never wore skirts to school. She would always wear pants to school. Qiao Dongliang was used to seeing her in pants. Today, he was surprised when she came out in a skirt.
“Yes, I’m wearing a skirt today.” Qiao Nan nodded happily. She was in high spirits.
“Is this okay? Ever since you went to high school, I have never seen you in a skirt. Didn’t you say that the girls in your school don’t usually wear skirts?” At the sight of his beloved daughter in a skirt, Qiao Dongliang could not help but find the skirt too short. “Nan Nan, have you grown taller? This skirt is quite short. If you like skirts, I will give you money to buy a new skirt tomorrow. You must make sure to buy a skirt that is long enough.”
“Dad, don’t waste the money. I seldom wear skirts. I just feel like wearing it today.” Qiao Nan looked at her skirt. It was not short. In fact, compared to miniskirts that would be in fas.h.i.+on decades later, it was considered quite long.
“Dad, I couldn’t talk to you any longer as I have to go to school. Dad, if I end up with the second place in the level, you must not be disappointed. I have already preempted you. Don’t think that I was being modest. I have already told you about the past results of the person who has the highest possibility of ranking first in the level.”
“Yes, I know. I’m not muddleheaded. I understand. It is good enough to achieve second place. Don’t think too much about it.” Qiao Dongliang did not know whether to cry or laugh. He was not that concerned whether Nan Nan ranked first or not.
Besides, if Nan Nan ranked second, it was not that she had lagged behind. It was that she had a formidable opponent.
“Alright, Dad, I will go to school now. I am already quite pleased if I could rank second. I may even be selected as the top-three model students.” Qiao Nan put on her white gymnastics shoes and ran toward Ping Cheng High School.
