Chapter 966 - You Are Not Anxious, But I Am (1/2)
“None of that.” s.h.i.+ Qing was hugging a bolster. “In the past, I felt quite happy visiting grandma’s house. However, this year, I feel exhausted each time I go. We are all relatives. Clearly, we were getting along quite well. Since when did they have to beat about the bush when talking to me? They don’t find that tiring but I do.”
Regarding the text message, s.h.i.+ Qing did not mention it to the Feng family at all. That was because she knew that even if she were to bring Qiao Nan to the Feng family for a confrontation, the Feng family might not be willing to admit to their doing and motives. In addition, she would not be able to find a way to bring Qiao Nan to the Feng family to clarify this.
If she were to bring this up, she would not receive any clarification. Instead, the Feng family might feel more disappointed.
Instead of creating an outcome that would upset her, s.h.i.+ Qing would rather not talk about it. She would stomach this matter and let it rot.
“What is wrong with you then?” Qiao Nan sat beside s.h.i.+ Qing and got her a cup of tea. She even ma.s.saged the acupuncture points at s.h.i.+ Qing’s temple to help the latter relieve her stress.
“I’m alright. Don’t worry about me. You should know that a woman’s temper is always not good for the few days after menstruation.” For women, there would always be such days. “Wait for a few more days. I will automatically recover by then.”
Qiao Nan laughed. “Do you think I don’t know when your period is due? It is not due yet. Did anything happen at the Feng family?”
“It is useless for them to kick up a fuss. Even if they do, I won’t concede defeat. What’s the use of kicking up a fuss?” s.h.i.+ Qing snorted satisfactorily.
“So, they really did kick up a fuss?” Qiao Nan sighed. It was no wonder that s.h.i.+ Qing was in such a bad mood. “However, you should have been prepared before you went back to the Feng family. At this moment, Zhai Sheng’s family is in the capital. I guess Brother Zhai must have expressed his stand to them. In the future, don’t be sandwiched between the Feng family and me. As for what the Feng family has to say, it could go in one ear and out the other. You will be upset if you take them to heart. There is no need to do so.”
Even if s.h.i.+ Qing was willing to pa.s.s messages to her on behalf of the Feng family, would she listen to them?
In fact, the relations.h.i.+p between s.h.i.+ Qing and the Feng family was not that difficult to resolve.
“I know. But when my temper rises, I can’t control it as I wish. Most importantly, the Feng family came up with a new issue today. What kind of era is this? My grandpa wishes to matchmake me with someone.” At the end of her speech, s.h.i.+ Qing sneered continuously. “Most likely, my paternal grandpa has been focusing all his effort on Qiu Chenxi. He did not even talk about who I should be engaged to. Why are my maternal grandparents getting involved in this matter? Unfortunately, my mom listens to them in everything that they say, going along with them.”
Yes, Brother Zhai was now engaged with Qiao Nan. It was now impossible between Brother Zhai and her.
However, although she was obviously the one who had fallen out of love, she did not give up on herself. Why did her maternal grandfather take the matter into his own hands and decide that she would be quickly engaged to someone she did not even know and had only met for just a few days?
At the thought of this, s.h.i.+ Qing was so enraged that she wanted to scold someone.
“Engagement! What engagement!” At this moment, Qiao Nan was anxious. “This won’t do. Immediately call your dad and report this matter to him.”
Of course, the Feng family was not the one who would call the shots. The problem was that s.h.i.+ Qing’s biological mother was still staying with the Feng family now.
s.h.i.+ Qing can choose not to listen to the Feng family’s words but her biological mother’s words would certainly impact her. What exactly was the Feng family trying to do now?
“Forget it. It’s already so late.” s.h.i.+ Qing was unhappy but her heart ached for her biological father, who was not in good health. He was also very busy. If she refused to agree, whatever her maternal grandfather’s family said would not have an impact on her. Why did she need to inform her father about this?
“What do you know? If you don’t call him, I will. If I really do call, I won’t be able to control my comments about the Feng family. The rights are in my hands,” Qiao Nan said without any reservation.
