Was she the one who committed adultery? Was it her father? Her auntie did not look for her uncle-in-law and had to keep going after her father and her. What did she mean by that?

Qiao Nan was flipping her book and reading it. “It’s not as if this is the first day you know her temperament. You should have been used to it. Now, what I’m worried about is…”

Although s.h.i.+ Qing had previously managed to dismiss Qi Minlan when the latter inquired about Brother Zhai and Qiao Nan’s relations.h.i.+p, at this juncture, Qi Minlan seemed to have been cornered to desperation. She would have no rationality to speak of and would hold on to anyone that she could.

“There won’t be any problem,” s.h.i.+ Qing said confidently. “When I helped you shake her off previously, I’ve tested her. Even though she saw with her own eyes that you were shopping with Brother Zhai, she was not entirely sure that the woman with Brother Zhai was you. You don’t know where they gathered such a theory from. They think you’re definitely not involved in a romantic relations.h.i.+p because your grades are still good.” Hence, when her auntie tried to find out about the relations.h.i.+p between Brother Zhai and Qiao Nan, the first question she asked was whether there had been any changes to Qiao Nan’s grades recently.

After knowing that Qiao Nan was still the top scorer in the cohort and the top in the humanities course, her auntie had already dispelled her initial suspicion on Qiao Nan before she could tell her about what happened to the Zhai family.

Qiao Nan stopped writing for a while. “Could it be that when Qiu Chenxi was with Brother Zhai in the past, her grades dropped because of Brother Zhai?”

As a student, once in love, nine out of ten of them would suffer a drop in their grades.

Qi Minlan had been using Qiu Chenxi as a benchmark. That could only mean that they had gone through that situation before. “Moreover, perhaps your auntie had also encountered the same situation while she was still studying.”

“I’m not too sure about this. Have to ask my dad.” Since she disliked Qi Minlan, this auntie of hers, why should she be willing to understand Qi Minlan so thoroughly? “I’m not pleased that she’s coming after me now. Why did she?”

“She’s couldn’t find your dad, so she came after you.” This was called a daughter paying for her father’s debts.

“There’s no use looking for me!”

“Looking for your dad is no use either.” Qiao Nan was amused. “This matter was not caused by your dad. At most, your dad and you discovered it.”

“Don’t tell me she’s going to continue pestering me if she can’t find my dad? Does she not want to resolve the issue regarding my uncle-in-law anymore? I heard that my uncle-in-law has not broken up with that woman. Most importantly, the att.i.tude of the elderly couple in the Qiu family is very strange.”

Although their son had a mistress behind their daughter-in-law’s back, the elderly couple of the Qiu family was not angry with their son. At most, they only chided him slightly and did not punish him at all. s.h.i.+ Qing thus could not understand their thoughts.

“They’re acting smart and also want to test what Qi Minlan’s status in the s.h.i.+ family is now.” The Qiu family and the s.h.i.+ family became in-laws on the pretext of self-interests. They could be considered united by marriage.

s.h.i.+ Peng had resigned from the army. The power of the s.h.i.+ family had been greatly reduced to almost nothing.

Without s.h.i.+ Peng, the s.h.i.+ family was only left with an empty sh.e.l.l.

In the face of such an in-law family, of course, the Qiu family had to consider carefully whether they would continue to acknowledge the s.h.i.+ family in the future. Additionally, if they disallowed Qi Minlan to leave, what was the appropriate distance they should maintain with the s.h.i.+ family?

The state of Qi Minlan’s status in the Qiu family would now depend on the value that she could bring to the Qiu family and whether the s.h.i.+ family was willing to bother about Qi Minlan, this daughter.

The att.i.tude of the s.h.i.+ family would be the determining factor for all these.

“Since that’s the case, she still dared to create troubles for me and my dad?” s.h.i.+ Qing was glaring. “Is she brainless?”
