Chapter 488: A Special Way of Getting AlongTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“If you don’t want any of them to be hurt, give up when there’s still time.”

Having been married for more than twenty years, n.o.body else understood Miao Miao’s temperament better than him.

It was true that Miao Miao liked Qiao Nan, but it was also true that she could not accept Qiao Nan as her daughter-in-law.

If Miao Miao found out about the relations.h.i.+p between Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan one day, the blow and hurt that she would receive would be doubled.

“Why does it have to be harm and not protection?” Zhai Sheng was unconvinced. He looked sullenly at Zhai Yaohui. “Be it Nan Nan or Mom, I will protect them well. I won’t let either of them receive any sort of harm. Nan Nan has the same thought as me. Similarly, she’s not willing to see Mom getting hurt. Regardless of the psychological barrier in Mom’s heart, I don’t believe that Nan Nan and I won’t be able to remove it if we work hard. Dad, you should know better than anyone about Nan Nan’s influence on Mom. What you owe Mom, Nan Nan and I are helping you to repay her. Do you understand?”

All the knots in his mother’s heart were caused by his father.

Despite being understanding, his father was cracking wise with his words. Sorry, he would not accept that.

As a soldier, he did not believe that there was anything impossible in this world!

“Also, this kind of words, I only wish to hear it once. Don’t let me hear it again next time. If you really don’t want Mom to be hurt, even if you’re my dad, I have to remind you that you have to reflect on yourself first.”

Leaving those words behind, Zhai Sheng returned to his bedroom.

As his biological father, Zhai Yaohui not only did not fulfill his responsibility to Miao Jing but also his pair of children.

Nevertheless, after Zhai Hua and Zhai Sheng became military personnel, they were aware of the difficulties and responsibilities that Zhai Yaohui had in the past. Although they knew, it did not mean that Zhai Yaohui’s lack of fulfillment in his duties toward them was correct. It also did not mean that they understood and accepted his doings.

Zhai Sheng could choose not to take issue with what happened in the past. However, his future lay in his own hands. He was not willing to be denied a good future just because his father said it was ‘impossible’.

In the face of his son’s blame, Zhai Yaohui’s face turned sullen. He did not refute him because it was the truth. He had no means to retaliate.

When he was at a young age, he did not let down his father, his country, or the citizens. The only three people that he felt guilty toward were his spouse and children.

His wife had knots in her heart due to him, and his son had resentment toward him.

Zhai Yaohui, who typically had a clear conscience, felt lost and helpless at that moment. Throughout the many years, was there anything that he did correctly?

In the end, all his questions turned into a sigh. When he thought of his son’s words, Zhai Yaohui smiled bitterly. Fine, he fell into that little sly fox’s trap again. What could he do? The little fox held on to his tender spot and targeted his Achilles’ heel. He had to continue to keep the matter between the little fox and Qiao Nan from Miao Miao until the latter could accept Qiao Nan.

When he returned to his bedroom, Zhai Sheng changed his gloomy expression. He happily bathed as he hummed military songs.

That old sly fox. He could deceive others but not him. He was very satisfied with Nan Nan’s resilience and continuous strive for excellence.

When Nan Nan completed her apprentices.h.i.+p with Lin Yuankang, even his mother would not have a reason not to accept Nan Nan.

At this time, Zhai Sheng could not help feeling glad that he had made such a sudden decision back then. He had been so resolute and determined when he brought Qiao Nan to Lin Yuankang. He had even built a foundation for Qiao Nan when she was young by accepting private a.s.signments from Lin Yuankang on behalf of Nan Nan, gaining Lin Yuankang’s favor and affirmation of Nan Nan’s capability.
