Chapter 692 - Held a Grudge On Behalf of Qiao Nan (1/2)
“Mom, there’s no issue.” Zhai Sheng changed his shoes and removed his s.h.i.+rt. He only took a glance at Zhai Hua before returning to his bedroom to bathe.
After bathing, when Zhai Sheng came out from the toilet in his boxers, Zhai Hua had been waiting with a long face for some time.
Zhai Sheng knitted his brows. He took out a T-s.h.i.+rt from his closet and put it on. He then sat on the bed and looked at Zhai Hua in the eye. “Speak if you have something to say. Scram if you don’t.”
“Zhai Sheng, am I still your biological sister? Just because of Qiao Nan, you’re not giving me any face?” Zhai Hua was really unhappy. Since she was a child, she had never asked Zhai Sheng for any help. Yet, she was rejected the first time she did. On top of that, it was a matter regarding Wei De. Zhai Hua’s unhappiness was thus amplified.
Zhai Hua flared up but Zhai Sheng was not afraid of her. “Is that so? Then, should I settle old scores with you? To count how many times you have plotted against me, your biological younger brother, because of an outsider?”
Having said that, Zhai Sheng’s sullen face seemed to have lingering anger.
Zhai Hua was a little guilt-stricken. “Isn’t that over already? As humans, we have to move on. Let bygones be bygones. Is settling old scores meaningful?”
“Do you think this excuse of yours will work?” Zhai Sheng crossed his arms and shot an eagle eye at Zhai Hua. “Zhai Hua, you should know that your tactic doesn’t work on me. I’ve already told you before that I don’t really look up to Wei De.”
Yes, Zhai Sheng not only knew that Zhai Hua was in a relations.h.i.+p but also knew that her boyfriend was actually a junior soldier in the army.
“What’s not good about him!” Zhai Hua was unconvinced. “Just because he’s an ordinary soldier and not even a platoon leader, you are judging him just by this point alone and disapproving of my relations.h.i.+p. Then, what about Qiao Nan? How good is Qiao Nan? Yes, you’re the one who lent the Qiao family money, but it’s still a fact that they are in so much debt. In comparison, Wei De has never used my money or owed me any! On what grounds can you be together with Qiao Nan while I can’t be with Wei De?”
Zhai Sheng sneered. Could one Wei De be compared to his Nan Nan? “Wei De has joined the army for a number of years. If not because of you, given Wei De’s situation, he would have retired long ago. Nan Nan is just a student now. If you give Nan Nan the period of time that Wei De spent in the army, do you think Nan Nan’s situation will be the same as today wherein you could look down on her?”
Zhai Hua could not answer that question.
Zhai Hua knew how hardworking and intelligent Qiao Nan was.
Furthermore, Qiao Nan’s personal qualities would suffice. In addition, she had Lin Yuankang as her master. When Qiao Nan graduated from school and stepped into society, Qiao Nan would definitely not going to be a n.o.body like now. She would be a woman of substance.
This was the truth that was irrefutable.
In short, although Qiao Nan was still a student now, Zhai Hua was certain that the road ahead of Qiao Nan would not be bad even if she did not rely on Zhai Sheng and the Zhai family.
“In terms of family situation, yes, Wei De and Nan Nan are similar. But when you talk about the individual, how can Wei De be compared to Nan Nan? Still the same saying, if you want me to help, impossible. He didn’t know how to grab the opportunities and resorted to cheap and dark tricks. I can’t take such a soldier under my wing. If you really think that Wei De is so good, I’ll give you a chance. Dad already knows the matter between Nan Nan and me for one to two years. I didn’t keep dad in the dark as I feel that Nan Nan is good. Dad guessed it too. Until now, dad hasn’t done anything overboard to deal with Nan Nan and
me.”
