Chapter 1077 - I Am On Good Terms with Director Shi (1/2)

Now that the two soldiers stopped her from entering the house, Ding Jiayi felt anger rising within her. She resorted to kicking up a fuss to get Qiao Nan to come out of the house.

“Even so, you are not allowed entry.”

Ding Jiayi, who was denied entry, saw red. She paced around in circles, not knowing what to do. She stomped her feet and made a move to dash into the house.

The two soldiers saw what she was doing. They stretched out their hands to stop her from entering.

There was no way that the old lady could bypa.s.s them to enter the house. If they could not even stop an old lady from entering the house, Regiment Commander Zhai would definitely kick them out of the army. The woman must be out of her mind.

“You…” Ding Jiayi’s eyes turned red. She ground her teeth and turned to walk in the direction toward her house. She seemed to have given up.

Ding Jiayi might have it all planned out, but Qiao Nan chose to ignore her. After creating a commotion, Ding Jiayi felt that her throat had turned hoa.r.s.e from the shouts. Despite all this, Ding Jiayi did not even manage to see Qiao Nan, let alone for her to agree to her requests.

Ding Jiayi was not the only one who was faced with setbacks, the Chen family, who went with Qiao Dongliang to the s.h.i.+ family’s residence, did not fare any better. In fact, they were in an even more awkward situation than her.

Feng Cheng spent the Lunar New Year with her husband and daughter. She had yet to return to the capital and still stayed with them in Ping Cheng.

Feng Cheng was just an ordinary woman. Previously, she had been staying in the capital, but she did not have any commitments there. Now that she came to Ping Cheng, she had no intention of leaving. She had to stop outsiders from deceiving her husband and her daughter.

Feng Cheng was very unhappy that s.h.i.+ Qing refused to listen to her and was very close to Qiao Nan.

Feng Cheng knew that her parents’ family thought highly of her daughter. Therefore, she decided to stay in Ping Cheng this year and work on her relations.h.i.+p with her husband and daughter.

She believed that she was more important to her daughter than an outsider and that her daughter would listen to her words.

Feng Cheng sneered when she knew that Qiao Nan’s father came looking for them. “I am sorry, but I don’t know you. s.h.i.+ Peng has gone to work. He is not at home.”

Feng Cheng did not make any harsh comments, but she was not very polite to the guests.

“That is impossible. Director s.h.i.+ does not need to go to work today. He should be at home.” Qiao Dongliang had spent several Lunar New Years with the s.h.i.+ family. He was very clear of Director s.h.i.+’s work schedule. “Sister-in-law, I have something to discuss with Director s.h.i.+.”

“Something to discuss?” Feng Cheng smiled. “What is it? Tell me about it.”

“…” Qiao Dongliang was not close with Feng Cheng. Besides, he was here to discuss where he should place Qiao Nan’s dowry. Qiao Dongliang was at a loss for words. “Sister-in-law, do we have any misunderstanding?”

From his experience of dealing with people, Qiao Dongliang could tell from Feng Cheng’s indifferent att.i.tude that there must be some misunderstanding.

“How could there be any misunderstanding?” Feng Cheng said coldly. “Is Qiao Nan your daughter?”

“Yes.”

“Then, there is no misunderstanding.” A crooked stick would have a crooked shadow. How could he seek help from s.h.i.+ Peng regarding his own family matters? He was trying to take advantage of them. Qiao Nan behaved in the same way as her father. She would always take advantage of Qing Qing.

Qiao Zijin suppressed her smile. She leaned toward Chen Jun and whispered. “Look, I have already told you that Qiao Nan tends to offend many people with that att.i.tude of hers.”
