Chapter 1412 - Unrealistic (1/2)

Even if Deng Wenchang had such an intention long ago, since Qiao Nan already said so, Deng Wenchang was unwilling to make the same remarks. It would seem as if he copied her and that he lost to her once again.

Since Deng Wenchang was born, he had never been thoroughly defeated like today. No matter how hard he tried, he could not turn the tables on Qiao Nan and he was ridiculed by his colleagues time and again because of her. The worst part was that the other party was a woman and she was younger than him and had lower educational qualifications than him!

n.o.body stopped Deng Wenchang from leaving.

When Qiao Nan left, everyone watched her as she made a move. They reminded her to be careful on the way back and pay attention to safety and contact her family in the car.

When Deng Wenchang made a move to go, no one bothered about him. They did not say a word but continued with their drinks. It was as if Deng Wenchang was already old enough to take care of himself. He could not possibly want the seniors to care for him as if he was a young man and to worry about his safety.

Deng Wenchang did not drink, but he staggered as if he had finished one bottle of white wine by himself. The only way to prove that he did not have any drinks was the pallor on his face.

People inside the room were full of laughter and fun, while Deng Wenchang was all by himself outside the door.

Deng Wenchang gritted his teeth such that his gums were bleeding. He finally made his way back home.

As soon as he opened the door, Father Deng began to ask how the situation was today. He had yet to ask and he saw the pale look on his son’s face and knew the outcome even without asking. “How can this be? It is impossible.” The Zhai family did not do anything. It was impossible that Qiao Nan found out more information than his son.

Even if He Yi showed favoritism to Qiao Nan, his son would still be the winner.

Deng Wenchang laughed at himself. “It was useless to prepare any amount of information. We might have gone to great lengths to do research, but did we find out that the amba.s.sador’s wife is pregnant?” Qiao Nan went out for a short while before dinner. When she returned, he noticed that she had a receipt for mother and baby products in her pocket.

He remembered that before the amba.s.sador couple left, Qiao Nan was being very careful with his wife, and she would give her gentle reminders. When the amba.s.sador couple chatted with Qiao Nan, he faintly heard the mention of ‘child’. He knew that the amba.s.sador couple did not have any children. Therefore, he initially thought that the amba.s.sador couple was talking about other people’s children.

But after seeing the receipt that Qiao Nan had, he realized belatedly that the amba.s.sador’s wife was pregnant!

Qiao Nan was privy to such personal information. No matter how much research his family did, they could not possibly know more than Qiao Nan.

Deng Wenchang was not lauding the spirit of the enemy and belittled that of his own. But this was the harsh reality and he had to face up to it. He could not possibly deceive himself now and close his eyes and cover his ears, pretending that he did not see or hear anything.
