The fact that her father was willing was one matter, but forced to submit his resignation letter was a separate matter.

Since a young age, she had suffered too much under Qi Minlan and Qiu Chenxi. This time, the matter was right before her, so how could s.h.i.+ Qing not want to know about it?

Qiao Nan thought for a while. “I only have a rough guess.”

“Guess, what guess? Didn’t Brother Zhai already silently confirm your guess? The facts can’t deviate too much from your guess. Hurry.”

“I think Chief Zhai was most likely able to win against your dad and a.s.sumed the position of chief many years ago because he wanted to aggravate your auntie. Or put it in a different way, he was motivated because of your auntie. He knew best what your auntie cared about most. In order to make your auntie feel bad, Chief Zhai purposely took on this position. To put it in ugly words, all these years, the Zhai family and the Qiu family have always been in contact. It was as if they were relatives. Although the Qiu family benefited much from the glory of the Zhai family, when your auntie sees the Zhai family leading such a good life and is well respected by others—that even her own spouse had to bow, bend his waist, and lower his neck to the Zhai family—how do you think your auntie feels?”

“If, if she was the one and not Auntie Miao who married Chief Zhai in the past, she, in fact, needed not to depend on the glory of others. All these actually belonged to her,” s.h.i.+ Qing said in a gloating tone. “The more the Qiu family gains from the Zhai family, the more auntie feels unjustified, and the worse she will feel. This is because she thinks she can get more than this. Therefore, she did not gain much. In fact, she lost even more. Won’t this drive my auntie to the grave?”

That auntie of hers liked to take advantage of others the most. After doing so, she still acted as if she looked up to them and gave them face.

Reversing the situation now, the Zhai family gave the Qiu family benefits on her account. Wouldn’t that drive her auntie mad?

“Isn’t that so?” Qi Minlan basked in glory in the recent few years of her life. She was the childhood friend of Chief Zhai and was also on quite good terms with the chief’s wife.

However, no matter what, despite all the glory, she relied on the Zhai family and could only s.h.i.+ne with their help.

In short, the more Qi Minlan gained from the Zhai family, the more dissatisfied she was. She would feel worse at heart and also be tortured by the many ‘ifs’ in her heart.

“This is possible!” s.h.i.+ Qing clapped her hands. “Given what you said, Chief Zhai and my auntie are actually not on such good terms. He even set up such a psychological barrier and tortured her for so many years. Why did he?”

s.h.i.+ Qing did not really understand this point. Didn’t they say that Chief Zhai and her auntie were very much in love many years ago?

If Old Master Zhai had not forced Auntie Miao in between the two of them, Chief Zhai would have married her auntie long ago.

In the end, Chief Zhai was the one who chose to dump her auntie and marry Auntie Miao. The revenge sequence was now reversed?

“You have to ask your dad about this. Qi Minlan is your auntie. It’s not convenient for me to say certain things. Also, if you hear it from your dad, it will be more convincing. Of course, I’m not sure if your dad is willing to tell you.”

The confidential topics that involved the s.h.i.+ family and the Zhai family, Qiao Nan would not delve into them too deeply. It was inappropriate.

“Fine, then quickly return to your bedroom and do your homework. I’ll give my dad a call. If I don’t get this clear today, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep tonight. I won’t be able to study well in school tomorrow.” s.h.i.+ Qing robbed the place of the host and chased Qiao Nan into her bedroom. She even helped Qiao Nan close the door in case Qiao Nan heard anything.

Qiao Nan, who was pushed into the bedroom, tweaked her lips. The speed that s.h.i.+ Qing kicked someone to the curb when they’d outlived their usefulness was not slow at all.

s.h.i.+ Peng had never brought up these matters that happened when he was young. Now that his daughter was interested and seemed to have found out something, s.h.i.+ Peng told her what happened in the past to prevent unnecessary trouble.
