Chapter 557: Touching

If not for the sake of being together with Brother Zhai, Qiao Nan’s life could, in fact, be very carefree and happy.

“Qiao Nan has better tolerance of stress than you. It’s clear from your auntie’s matter that she’s actually very quick-witted and agile in handling problems. She’s quite a bright young lady. The Zhai family is very blessed to be able to meet such an intelligent lady. Unfortunately, you’re not a man.”

It was fine that his daughter was not intelligent enough. Unfortunately, his daughter could not ‘kidnap’ the intelligent lady from another family.

s.h.i.+ Qing pulled a long face. “How do you know I definitely won’t be able to kidnap a bright and intelligent son-in-law back?!” She was a girl. Of course, she could not be together with Qiao Nan. But she could find a husband that was similar to Qiao Nan! Would that not do?

“Is that so? Then, I shall wait and see. Your emotional intelligence is a little low. Find me a son-in-law who’s better in emotional intelligence. Then, our s.h.i.+ family will be able to burn incense and thank our ancestors. When the time comes, if the other party is also an only child, you will then give birth to two children and one of the children will take our surname. Then, our s.h.i.+ family will really have someone to carry on the family line.”

Why was there a need for a son? Would this not do as well?

s.h.i.+ Qing tugged the corners of her lips. “You’re happy about this. Will grandpa and grandma be pleased?” The child given birth by their granddaughter was not the real paternal great-grandchild!

“I’ll acknowledge the grandchild. I’m happy to do so!” s.h.i.+ Peng did not even wish to talk about the situation of the s.h.i.+ family. “Alright, Qiao Nan has already gone back. You should go back soon too. One is marked by the company one keeps. I hope you will be influenced by Qiao Nan and improve your emotional intelligence. I can’t be vicious to you but Qiao Nan can. In the future, regardless of whether Qiao Nan’s advice to you sounds good or not, you have to reflect on them carefully. Don’t reject everything because of your bad temper. With that bad temper of yours, besides Qiao Nan, most likely, I can’t find you another friend who can subdue you.”

s.h.i.+ Peng understood her daughter very well.

If Qiao Nan’s grades were not better than his daughter, and the way Qiao Nan handled situations was many times more mature than her, his daughter would have raised a rumpus. His daughter listened to Qiao Nan now as the latter was better than her in everything. She was thus subdued.

At the thought of his daughter’s intelligence and physical strength, s.h.i.+ Peng was, in fact, most worried whether he could really find a son-in-law.

It was not easy for a talent such as Qiao Nan to appear. For another similar individual to appear, and it had to be a man, it was simply searching for a needle in the sea.

Even if he could not be a paternal grandfather, it was fine if he could be a maternal one.

Previously, Zhai Sheng was a suitable candidate. Now that Zhai Sheng belonged to Qiao Nan, s.h.i.+ Peng started to feel worried for his daughter.

After Qiao Nan finished memorizing one-fifth of the Oxford Dictionary, her ‘teaching career’ in the army was also coming to an end. “Okay, this is my last lesson with you, so let’s cherish our final cla.s.s.”

The two sentences in English spoken by Qiao Nan stunned the audience for a moment. They could not understand most of the words. Nevertheless, Qiao Nan had taught the word ‘last’ before. Hence, everyone knew the meaning of that word.

There was also once when Qiao Nan taught everyone to daringly try to guess the meaning of the sentence based on the standalone words that they had learned so far.
