Chapter 1376 - Which Zhai Family Was That? (1/2)

Deng Wenchang could feel a throbbing pain in his hand. It reminded him that he had already suffered once because of Zhai Sheng. Since he was a formidable figure, it was impossible that he had not heard of him before.

“His surname?” He Yi gave Deng Wenchang an odd look, as if asking Deng Wenchang whether he was playing dumb or was really foolish. “Don’t you know his surname?”

“Why must I know his surname?” Deng Wenchang found it weird. “I have never seen him before. This is the first time I saw him.” He was not lying. He was telling the truth.

He Yi curled the corners of his lips, feeling perplexed. What was the Deng family up to? “Qiao Nan is married and her husband’s surname is Zhai.” It was impossible that Deng Wenchang had no idea who his enemy was and could not recognize him when he saw him.

Deng Wenchang’s heart jumped a beat. He was trembling. “His surname is Zhai? What a special surname. In the capital, the only Zhai family that is well-known is the family who was transferred to the capital two years ago. Uncle He, is there any relations.h.i.+p between them?” It turned out that the man had the surname of Zhai. His family did not know much about the Zhai family, but they were destined to be enemies.

Deng Wenchang knew that the Peng family’s target was the Zhai family, and Peng Yu was at loggerheads with a man named Zhai Sheng.

If the Deng family wanted to have a strong foothold in the capital, they had to depend on the Peng family. The only chance of the Peng family being successful was to usurp the Zhai family and take their position.

“What is their relations.h.i.+p?” He Yi was certain that Deng Wenchang was not playing dumb but was really clueless. “There aren’t that many Zhai families. Didn’t you see the car plate number of the Land Rover car just now? Apart from the people from the political and military families, who else could have this car plate number?” It was funny that he did not catch on. “Alright, it’s getting late. You should hurry back as well.”

He Yi got into this car and went home feeling invigorating and energized, while Deng Wenchang had a baffled and clueless look on his face.

His little junior was competent and capable, and she had the Zhai family as her backing. To be blunt, if anything happened, he would not be able to help her. Instead, it might be the other way round. The Zhai family might help him on account of her.

Nevertheless, he was glad that he was in this position.

His life was good. He was thankful to his master for recruiting a little junior who was blessed with good fortune at his old age. He was able to have brighter prospects even in his middle age because of her.

With the Zhai family around, the Deng family should abandon all hopes of Deng Wenchang replacing him to be the minister of Foreign Affairs.

When the couple reached home, Qiao Nan had just taken a seat when she received a phone call from Lin Yuankang. “Master, will you be coming back soon? Oh, you will be there for another ten more days. When you are back, I will prepare a feast to welcome you. The triplets are doing well. They are lively and healthy. I do not dare to bring the three of them with me outdoors. I don’t understand. They have just learned to take steady steps now, but why is it that they love to run around?”

Qiao Nan could not imagine what would happen when the children turned two to three years old. Would they go out of control like unleashed horses when they were outdoors and there would be no way to control them? The worst part was that she had three children. If there needed more than one adult to supervise one child, would they need to hire a lot of helpers before they could go outdoors with a peace of mind?

“Sister Zhai Hua? She is only four months pregnant. Her tummy is barely showing. I guess it will be another six months before she will be due for delivery.”
