Chapter 1413 - Worried (1/2)

Father Deng sighed. His heart ached at the dejected look on his son’s face. “Don’t think about it. It’s all in the past. Instead of dwelling on the past, you might as well spend more time thinking about the future. You only lost to her this once. It does not mean that you will always lose to Qiao Nan. The most important thing is to look at the future. We have a lot of time, and we have the Peng family as our ally. We haven’t lost yet!”

Father Deng pulled Deng Wenchang up, telling Deng Wenchang not to think too much. He should take a bath, have a full meal, and go to sleep. He should have a good night’s rest and recharge so that he would be ready to fight the hard battle tomorrow.

After comforting his son, Father Deng went back to his room. His wife was waiting for him. “How’s our son doing?”

“How can he feel good? Since a young age, I’ve never seen him in this state. If he were still young, I reckon he would have cried now.” Father Deng was worried. Although it was summer, and summer was unbearably hot in the capital, Father Deng felt a chill inside. He covered his tummy with a thin blanket. “It would be good if we know that there is such a young lady like Qiao Nan in Peking University.”

Mother Deng did not understand. “Why would that be good?” Why would it be good for their family and their son if they knew about Qiao Nan earlier? What was the link between the two?

Seeing that Mother Deng did not understand his words, Father Deng sighed with regrets. “Wenchang is not young. These two years, he did not have the time to get a girlfriend. You should help Wenchang keep a lookout for ladies who are suitable and come from a good background. It would be good if they can aid Wenchang in his career.”

If Qiao Nan was married to his son, Qiao Nan and Wenchang would be able to work hand in hand in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ministry would be their stage.

Moreover, even if Qiao Nan was more competent than Wenchang, she would not make things difficult for him. Instead, she would take the backstage and support him. If so, instead of Qiao Nan, Wenchang would be the one who shone today.

In fact, it was beneficial to the Deng family to have a daughter-in-law like Qiao Nan. Unless she was too obstinate and strong-willed, she would be a good help to them. After cooperating with the Peng family, Wenchang did not seem to be doing better than before. He seemed to be in the same position, not making any improvements.

“What’s the hurry!” Mother Deng was unhappy.”Wenchang studied abroad for so many years, and he just returned two years ago. He has to work, and I only get to see him in the morning and at night for two meals a day. For instance, Wenchang did not have dinner at home today.”

The family only had one son. Her husband was busy with work and she seldom saw her son. She did not spend much time with the two men that she loved most. If they had a daughter-in-law at this time, her son would belong to someone else.

Since she had a son and he was still in his prime and she did not need to be concerned about his fertility, she was in no hurry to find a wife for her son. One had to take a long time to find a good wife. They would not take any daughter-in-law randomly.

“What did you say just now? Why didn’t our son have a girlfriend in the past two years?” She thought that her son just returned from overseas and was not in a hurry to get a girlfriend. But from what Old Deng said, it was as if something had happened to her son. Could it be that he had no time to find a girlfriend?

Her son returned from overseas study. He was highly educated and good-looking. Moreover, the Deng family was well-to-do. As long as her son wanted to get a girlfriend, the women would rush toward him just like how bees were attracted to honey.
