Chapter 712 - Not Typical of Zhai Sheng (1/2)
At this juncture, Qiao Nan would be too silly not to take the money. In fact, she would be an idiot if she did not do so.
s.h.i.+ Qing dared not let Qiao Nan had the chance to be so silly. She grabbed over the money and tucked them into Qiao Nan’s hands. She made the decision for Qiao Nan first and then said, “Why are you standing there in a daze? Quickly put away the money in the room. If you lose it, do you deserve the well-meaning intention of Uncle Qiao?”
After it was stored away properly and deposited in the bank tomorrow, this sum of money would really belong to Qiao Nan.
This would not do. Tomorrow, she would come and look for Qiao Nan early in the morning and accompany her to the bank to deposit the money. This was in case Uncle Qiao decided to change his mind.
Also, she should go home later today. If not…
s.h.i.+ Qing’s bright eyes rolled a few times. “Qiao Nan, we’ve not had late chats for some time. Why don’t I stay here tonight so that we can chat? We can hat about the students that you are giving tuition to or chat about your study plan for the next semester. I want to use your study plan as a reference to decide on my own study plan, can I?”
As long as she was around, she did not believe that Uncle Qiao would have the shame to take back the money that he had given out and leave it for Qiao Zijin.
Qiao Nan could not help smiling. “No need. I suffer from summer ailments. I feel hot even when I sleep alone. I’ll shun your presence.”
Her father gave her this sum of money in front of Director s.h.i.+ and s.h.i.+ Qing because he did not want to give himself a chance to regret it.
Once her father took out the money out in front of others, he would definitely not take it back regardless of the reason.
This time, it was truly strange. In the past, Qiao Zijin would definitely appear as long as there was money to be taken. There was such a good opportunity and excuse but why didn’t Qiao Zijin appear at all?
“You’re sure?” s.h.i.+ Qing pouted to express that she was concerned if Qiao Nan alone would be able to deal with the situation of Qiao Dongliang regretting.
Qiao Nan nodded with certainty. She had never been crafty toward her father. It was rare that this sum of money would go into her pocket. She, too, wanted to be the mythical creature in ancient China for once, which would only receive and not give out wealth.
Given her understanding of her father, her father would not take this sum of money back regardless of the reason.
However, if there was a possibility of it happening, Qiao Nan expressed that she also had a way not to return the money.
“Fine, then I’ll keep a watch on my dad.”
“Why are you keeping a watch on me?” At the sight of the two ladies hinting to each other, s.h.i.+ Peng was initially happy to watch the show. Suddenly, his name was called. s.h.i.+ Peng had not come to his senses and realized what mistake he had committed that his daughter had to use ‘keep a watch’ to describe him.
“Keep a watch on you. You have no self-awareness. Alright, it’s already half-past eight. Let’s go home. Fortunately, Qiao Nan did not need to attend cla.s.ses at school today. Otherwise, you’d have not only affected Qiao Nan’s meals but also her tuition cla.s.ses which she needed to conduct to earn money. Dad, see, just because of you, so much of Qiao Nan’s time was taken. Don’t you feel ashamed?” s.h.i.+ Qing pulled s.h.i.+ Peng home, chiding him along the way. Those seemingly impatient words of hers were filled with her concern for s.h.i.+ Peng.
“Dad, it’s late. You rest early too. The weather in summer tires people out. You still have to go to work. I’ll clean up.” Qiao Nan asked Qiao Dongliang to go to bed. She had already almost finished cleaning up.
“I’ll help you put away the table first. You can wash the utensils when you wake up tomorrow. You didn’t have it easy today either.” In this home, he was only afraid that it was never easy on Nan Nan.
Earlier, s.h.i.+ Qing had been fighting injustice for Qiao Nan. How could Qiao Dongliang not sense it? It was just that he tolerated it and did not speak out. Of course, he was ashamed to say anything.
“Okay.” Qiao Nan agreed.
