“Right, Brother Zhai, I want to tell you something. Qiao Zijin is back.” Brother Zhai told her before that it was impossible that Qiao Zijin and her mother would return to Ping Cheng before Qiao Zijin sat for her college entrance examination. Why did Qiao Zijin come back without an apparent reason?

“I’m aware.”

“You’re aware… Was that why Qiao Zijin left in a hurry yesterday?” Qiao Zijin had clearly wanted to stay for a few days but she actually left this morning at around half-past seven. At the thought of this, Qiao Nan then had this realization.

If Qiao Zijin had wanted to leave, how could she have left at around half-past seven or six o’clock? That was too early. The heat from the sun at that time was unbearable.

Hence, Qiao Zijin must have suddenly changed her mind and left.

“Yes,” Zhai Sheng replied and indirectly admitted that he was, in fact, the one who arranged Qiao Zijin’s sudden departure. He did not expect Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi to be so recalcitrant. It had only been six months and they had to create trouble again by returning to Ping Cheng to provoke Qiao Nan.

Zhai Sheng had been away to carry out a mission. Thus, he did not have the time to understand the situation.

When Zhai Sheng returned to the army and knew about this, it was already about seven o’clock in the morning today.

That one phone call of Zhai Sheng made Qiao Zijin leave Ping Cheng abidingly.

This time, regardless of why Qiao Zijin came back, Zhai Sheng did not bother to find out. He only needed to ensure that Qiao Nan had peace. “She didn’t provoke you, did she?”

“Provoked me? This time, she has ‘sorted out’ her thoughts. She knew that she was wrong in the past. Therefore, she wished to bring out her best to get my forgiveness.” Qiao Nan switched off the television, in case she could not hear Zhai Sheng’s voice clearly.

“Do you believe her?”

“Believe her? Unless I’m stupid. Once bitten, twice shy. Would I not be afraid?” Qiao Nan laughed at herself. Qiao Zijin had said it herself that one should never intend to harm others, but should always guard against the harm others might do to them.

She did not care if Qiao Zijin would change for the better, and neither did she want to know. Nevertheless, she would never believe it!

“Did my mom send you back yesterday? Or did Elder Lin send you back?” It was good that Qiao Nan did not believe her.

“Master sent me back. Auntie Miao had wanted me to take your family car. I didn’t agree. Brother Zhai, you won’t be angry, right?”

“Not angry. What you did is right.” Before he and Nan Nan announced their relations.h.i.+p publicly, it was best for Nan Nan to minimize her contact with the Zhai family to avoid the gossip of others.

Given the status and power of the Zhai family, of course, the Zhai family would not be the target of gossip. As such, the one who would suffer was Qiao Nan, this young lady who came from an ordinary family.

“Brother Zhai, did you find someone to keep a watch on my mom and Qiao Zijin?”

“Not considered keeping a watch.” At the very most, it was just keeping vigilant.

“Do you know who she had been in contact with recently? This time, after Qiao Zijin came back, she showed great improvements. She boiled water for me to bathe and even cooked for me. She used many self-torture ruses to try to win my trust. My dad was nearly taken in. She was completely the opposite of the aggressive and overbearing one in the past. She was as sorry and pitiful as the little white cabbage planted next door. Qiao Zijin also knew how to pretend to be sensible last time, but that could not be compared to her acts this time. It was as though a wise man had given her pointers. I don’t feel at ease.”

Fortunately, her father had changed for the better. If her father was still like before, it would not take long for him to be completely coaxed by Qiao Zijin on the very first day.
