Chapter 1511 - Whos Your Daughter? (2/2)

Qiao Zijin looked meaningfully at her newly manicured nails and huffed. “What’s the hurry? Why do I have to break it off? I think the situation now is pretty good.” She was legally married, and her lover outside was handsome. Initially, she had liked it too, but she had not expected to become a mom and sleep with others.

“Whatever. I’m was.h.i.+ng my hands off you.”

So, it was just as Qiao Nan took over He Yi’s position that Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin finished their discussion, bought plane tickets, and flew to the capital to find Qiao Nan.

“Grandpa, we’re here to bring you for lunch.” In the capital, Qiao Nan had just picked the three children up from school. On the way home, she took a detour and stopped by the small apartment that she had purchased in the capital to bring Qiao Dongliang along to the Zhai family’s house for lunch.

The reason why Qiao Nan had brought Qiao Dongliang over to the capital was so that he could rest well in his golden years. She was afraid that he would be too lonely living alone in Ping Cheng. Therefore, on the weekends and during special festivals, Qiao Nan would always bring Qiao Dongliang over to the Zhai family’s house to have a meal together.

In the beginning, Qiao Dongliang was rather embarra.s.sed. He always felt out of place in the Zhai family’s house. Qiao Nan was the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law and part of the Zhai family, but he was only an outsider.

Fortunately, after the pa.s.sing of Old Master Zhai, Qiao Dongliang felt a little less stressed out. Moreover, Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing had a pleasant att.i.tude toward Qiao Dongliang. Now that he visited frequently, Qiao Dongliang had started to accept it as part of his life.

“Why are you three children so happy today?” Seeing his granddaughter, Qiao Dongliang took her schoolbag from her. “Nan Nan, don’t you think teachers nowadays are too much? These children are still so young, but they have to carry around so many books. They even have a stack of never-ending homework! I heard from Old Chen next door that his grandson had so much homework that he stayed up until eleven in the evening but still could not finish it and ended up crying. Do our family’s children have to work so hard?”

“Grandpa, you’re thinking too much. We always finish our homework before eight o’clock. Mom said that children have to go to bed early and wake up early. This way, we’ll grow up quickly. The three of us go to bed by nine.” Er Bao stopped himself from commenting about how ‘efficient’ that kid must have been to not have finished his homework even by eleven.

Qiao Dongliang laughed. “Is that so? That’s impressive. When your mom was younger, she was so intelligent too. She would never fail to rank in the top three every exam. In my memories, she would not do homework until eleven in the evening, let alone read a book. She always went to bed by ten.” In other words, it was just a difference in talents.

“Grandma said that we’re smart like Mom. We’re Mom’s children!” San Bao added excitedly. The way this young lady hopped around with her pigtails made her seem like a little bunny.

Qiao Dongliang smiled widely and his eyes curved into crescents. “Smart! Nan Nan is smart and you three are like her, so you’re all smart. Amongst the five of us, your grandpa is probably the dumbest.”

“Grandpa, hurry and get in the car.” Da Bao, who was walking ahead of them, had already opened the door of the pa.s.senger’s seat to invite Qiao Dongliang in. Qiao Dongliang felt moved by this small gesture of Da Bao. This was not the first time Da Bao had done it, but every time he did it, Qiao Dongliang was always equally moved.

Only after he got into the car did Qiao Dongliang have the chance to congratulate Qiao Nan. “Congratulations, Nan Nan.”
