Chapter 1099 - You Could Not Win Against Zhai Sheng (1/2)

“If I were a man, Brother Zhai would no longer be in the picture. Qiao Nan would then belong to our family!”

s.h.i.+ Peng smiled at his daughter’s words. “If that is the case, you should thank us that you are a girl. Otherwise, you would not be able to win against Zhai Sheng. You would be heartbroken and wasting your efforts.”

Didn’t she see that Zhu Baoguo had been kicked out of the game by Zhai Sheng before he could even have a go at it?

It was not that s.h.i.+ Peng did not have confidence and looked down on his child. It was just that Zhai Sheng was such a formidable opponent. Ordinary men would not be able to defeat him.

Instead of suffering from heartbreak, it would be better to have a daughter. She did not need to compete against Zhai Sheng and she could keep a low profile, leading a simple life like what she was doing now.

s.h.i.+ Qing curled the corners of her lips unhappily. “You’re right. Brother Zhai is too ruthless. He has claimed Qiao Nan as his own when she was still very young. He has cut off all possibilities for Qiao Nan to be in a relations.h.i.+p with other men. He is too shameless.”

In terms of being shameless, no woman or man could defeat Brother Zhai.

Qiao Nan was so outstanding, but Zhai Sheng used all means and ways to stop her from receiving any love letters from other men. He was too ruthless.

Given Qiao Nan’s intelligence, s.h.i.+ Qing was baffled that Qiao Nan never once suspected that it was odd that she did not receive any love letters all these years.

However, today was their wedding ceremony. s.h.i.+ Qing would not be so foolish as to ask such a stupid question of Qiao Nan on her big day.

Today, she was a bridesmaid. It was the day she could make things difficult for Brother Zhai.

If she brought up this topic to Qiao Nan, Brother Zhai would make sure she got it from him.

The s.h.i.+ family of three was having a good time.

By the time Feng Cheng went looking for Qiao Nan, she was already dressed up in her wedding costumes. It was rare that she did not treat Qiao Nan with cold indifference. Instead, she handed her a red box graciously. “Congratulations.”

“Thank you.” Qiao Nan was very surprised, but she maintained her composure and accepted her gift. “Auntie Feng, you are being too polite. s.h.i.+ Qing, you have to work harder and get a boyfriend as soon as possible. I look forward to the day when you get married.”

Qiao Nan was aware of the gifts that s.h.i.+ Peng prepared for her.

The red box that Feng Cheng gave her was heavy. There seemed to be jewelry inside.

Therefore, Qiao Nan had stated clearly that when s.h.i.+ Qing was getting married, she would not be stingy with the gifts.

Feng Cheng smiled and nodded. She did not speak further.

Feng Cheng did not need gifts from Qiao Nan, but she welcomed people who returned politeness for politeness.

Since Qiao Nan knew what to do and appreciated their kind intentions, Feng Cheng found her somewhat pleasing to the eye. In fact, if it was in the past, Feng Cheng would definitely mock Qiao Nan for bragging. How could she possibly afford to give them any valuables gifts? The s.h.i.+ family would be on the losing end.

However, after s.h.i.+ Peng’s talk with her, Feng Cheng no longer felt that way.

“Mom, why don’t you have some tea downstairs first?” s.h.i.+ Qing was the bridesmaid and she knew that Feng Cheng did not really like Qiao Nan. She could sense that they were still uncomfortable with each other.

Before things took a turn for the worse, s.h.i.+ Qing had to think of ways to separate them.
