Chapter 1499 - Strange Groom (1/2)

Of course, Qiao Nan’s behavior was the very reason there was barely any conflict within the family all these years.

Qiao Nan shook her head. “They belonged to the Lin family, after all. When my master was still alive, they had done worse things, but did you think my master couldn’t contain the Lin family? If my master let a hint loose, there was no way for the Lin family to use my master’s name.”

In short, her master had been giving the Lin family a chance to develop despite his hatred for them. What she did must carry on her master’s purpose.

Since this was what her master wanted, she would continue down the same path.

Tian Dong had no reb.u.t.tal for Qiao Nan’s words. It was true that Elder Lin had been cutting the Lin family some slack. If Qiao Nan did bring down the Lin family, ultimately, it could dirt her reputation. On the contrary, when the Lin family received money from Qiao Nan, they wouldn’t be targeting her like before.

Moreover, Tian Dong knew what others didn’t.

The money that Qiao Nan gave to the Lin family was only part of the earnings s.n.a.t.c.hed from them. It was more like Qiao Nan returned some cash to the Lin family.

Using their own money to buy over the Lin family’s favor, it was a great move that not many people in business could make.

If the Lin family did come back and defeat Qiao Nan with this investment, it would be his fault and not Qiao Nan’s. He would be the one weak enough to allow the Lin family to get the upper hand. For some reason, he had already fallen into the huge web that Qiao Nan had cast. How foolish of him to be calling Qiao Nan a soft girl!

He was the one being deceived all this while.

After reflecting on how stupid he’d been, Tian Dong dared not give Qiao Nan any more ideas. Tian Dong figured that he was affected by Zhai Hua. Zhai Hua always spoke about Qiao Nan’s history of having an unfortunate family background, which led him into thinking that Qiao Nan was an innocent being.

When he gave it some thought, he realized that Qiao Nan had never put herself in a disadvantageous position since the day he met her. Most of the time, Qiao Nan could come up on top with a few words.

It didn’t mean that Qiao Nan was someone who was all-talks. It just couldn’t be helped that Qiao Nan’s words worth more than those of others, and her ideas were innovative. He finally got the realization that Qiao Nan was not a girl who needed a man to protect.

After figuring that out, Tian Dong felt that his mind was freed.

November and December were the months that many walked down the aisles. Among those couples was Qiao Nan’s colleague, Deng Wenchang. Being in the same department, Qiao Nan had the responsibility to attend his big day. At the wedding, Qiao Nan took a glance at the bride; she looked clean and obedient.

Anyway, Deng Wenchang’s age and family would guarantee him a good wife.
