Chapter 855 - Invitation to the Banquet (1/2)

At this moment, if Qiao Nan revealed even a tinge of scorn and blame at Qiao Dongliang, he would only feel more nervous.

Zhai Yaohui did not lie to him. This young lady certainly exuded the charisma of a well-bred individual. If they were to nurture her properly, she would not be weak.

She was a good seedling!

The first impression of Old Master Zhai on Qiao Dongliang and Qiao Nan was not bad. “The two children have known each other for a long time. That said, your family’s daughter is actually very young. It’s my family’s grandson who is thick-skinned and shameless. Nevertheless, since the children have already decided, Comrade Xiao Qiao, what’s your view regarding the matter regarding the two of them?”

Old Master Zhai did not give any face to his grandson when he derided him. Anyway, he was telling the truth.

The other party was just a young lady at a nominal age of twenty years old. His own family’s grandson was already of a nominal age of twenty-six years old. According to the time, when his grandson had his eyes on the young lady, she was only a teenager who was less than her twenties.

Zhai Sheng had given his promise to Old Master Zhai previously. Hence, Old Master Zhai knew that Zhai Sheng would not do anything to Qiao Nan even if he liked her. Otherwise, when Old Master Zhai heard such a matter, instead of feeling happy, his first reaction would be to catch hold of Zhai Sheng and give him a beating.

It was too shameless!

“This… I will obey the orders of Old Chief Zhai,” Qiao Dongliang said forthrightly without thinking. As long as the Zhai family made the proper arrangements, he did not have any opinion. Everything was good.

Old Master Zhai turned his glance toward Qiao Nan. “Daughter, do you have any opinion on this?”

“I’ll listen to Brother Zhai.” As she felt her hand being grabbed tightly by Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan could only respond with this in an abiding manner.

In fact, even if Zhai Sheng did not remind her, Qiao Nan was prepared to say this. Zhai Sheng had been anxious for nothing.

It was just an engagement. She would not delay it.

Old Master Zhai stared at his grandson from the corners of his eyes. Do not think that he was long-sighted and could not see his grandson’s cheap trick under the table. He even threatened other family’s young daughter. He was bullying the young as he was older. He was too shameless.

Facing the look of blame from Old Master Zhai, Zhai Sheng not only did not slant his eyes but also looked so righteous and full of justice. It was as if he was not the one who squeezed Qiao Nan’s hands earlier.

As for the glance of Old Master Zhai, Zhai Sheng simply ignored it.

At this juncture, he would put everything, including his grandfather, aside temporarily. His daughter-in-law was the most important.

“When school reopens, Nan Nan will have to study at the college in the capital. Why don’t we let them get engaged in early August next month?” Miao Jing, who had accepted this matter, considered the practical issues well. They had to find a suitable date that matched Qiao Nan’s schooling schedule.

“That’s fine.” Zhai Yaohui made the final call on this. “We can fix it on 1 August. It’s the Army Day[1]. It’s a good day.”

“…But it’s the end of July now…” Qiao Nan could not help but interrupt with one sentence.

In other words, if she really wanted to be engaged with Brother Zhai, there was only less than a week of preparation time left.

“If we arrange a simple event, it can actually be done in time. It’s basically engagement and it doesn’t need to be so complicated. 1 August. This date is good. It’s excellent and meaningful. We’ll fix it on that day then.” Qiao Dongliang, who was emotionally affected when he saw the old chief, did not have any stand at all. He agreed to whatever the Zhai family proposed.

“Not bad. If we wish to make it a major event, we can wait until their formal wedding.” Old Master Zhai also agreed on the date fixed by his son. “1 August then. Miao Miao, work harder and quickly make arrangements for this. Of course, if you can’t handle this alone, you can get Zhai Hua to come back from the army. I heard that she is not carrying out any mission now. She’s just training some new recruits in the army. There are many people who can do this in the army. We can ask her to come back and help with Zhai Sheng’s matter first.”
