She had not seen Ding Jiayi for four to five years. Ding Jiayi's power must have increased and she might do things that were multiple times worse than before. Ding Jiayi should be the kind of person that did not have a limit in her behavior.
"Nan Nan, that house belongs to you?" This was the first time that Miao Jing heard about this.
"Yes, earlier on, the owners of the house came back. They were willing to give me the house at no cost. Their children seem to be planning to return to Ping Cheng to collaborate with Ping Cheng High School. I am not sure about the specific arrangements. Brother Zhai said that they will never shortchange themselves. After the ownership was transferred, I passed the deed title of that house to Brother Zhai. Hence, it should be with the Zhai family."
Even if her mother were to spend the Lunar New Year in that house and turned it upside down, she would not be able to find anything.
"It seems that they took some actions this year. The good thing is that this is just the beginning. They may be too much, but most likely, they won't do that yet. My dad's temper is not that soft and my mom won't be so foolish." Of course, if there were increasing conflicts after some time, her mother might dare to do such things.
"The title deed is at my house!" Zhai Hua spoke as she was stunned by this news. "Zhai Sheng's actions are so quick." Qiao Nan had not been officially married but her house had entered the Zhai family first.
Not to mention Zhai Hua, even Old Master Zhai and Zhai Yaohui were surprised by this situation.
Old Master Zhai's face twisted a little. "It seems that he has been harboring 'intentions' for a long time."
When the young lady was still a junior high school student, he had already helped link her up with such a prominent master like Lin Yuankang. Following that, the title deed of the house that she was staying at had become his.
Old Master Zhai did not believe that Zhai Sheng did not do anything about the matter regarding that house.
Of course, Old Master Zhai believed that, at most, Zhai Sheng only acted as a catalyst. He wouldn't resort to shameful means such as force, deception, coercion, or bribery.
However, this proved that his grandson's feelings toward the young lady started a long time ago.
"Once he fixes on a target, he is vicious and accurate in taking action. This is truly the style of a soldier." It was seldom that Zhai Yaohui expressed his approval instead of trampling on his son at this moment.
This was such a fine lady. Of course, the earlier one took action, the better.
Otherwise, how could the Zhai family have meat now while the Zhu family only had soup to drink?
Under Qiao Nan's influence, Zhu Baoguo had been led to the right path and his strayed mindset had been corrected. Zhai Yaohui could understand why Zhu Chengqi wished to acknowledge Qiao Nan as his goddaughter.
Zhu Chengqi had secretly spoken about this matter to Zhai Yaohui.
It was also because of Qiao Nan that the relationship between the Zhai family and the Zhu family became very good. Zhu Chengqi and Zhai Yaohui had formed a secret alliance.
Zhu Chengqi openly and honestly told Zhai Yaohui that his son had feelings toward Qiao Nan but Zhu Chengqi only saw Qiao Nan as his daughter.
Once Qiao Nan was married to Zhai Sheng, in his eyes, Zhai Sheng would be his son-in-law.
Everyone would become in-laws. Naturally, he had to interact more closely with the Zhai family.
He was going to have an additional formidable ally such as the Zhu family. There was no reason for Zhai Yaohui to decline or feel unhappy about this.
Besides the Zhu family, the Lee family had also been on good terms with the Zhai family recently.
Zhai Yaohui did not just stay at home all day and do nothing. He had been taking care of these relationships. Hence, he was well aware that the Zhai family's power had been strengthening gradually. Amidst all these, the greatest credit went to Qiao Nan, this future daughter-in-law.
As for Lin Yuankang, he had not expressed anything until now.
However, this did not bother Zhai Yaohui at all.
Although Lin Yuankang did not express his stance to the Zhai family, his care for Qiao Nan was not any less.
Lin Yuankang had been nurturing his little disciple wholeheartedly. This was a great thing for the Zhai family and would also benefit them eventually.
With this, Zhai Yaohui had already categorized Lin Yuankang as one of his people.
The few truly powerful figures in Ping Cheng had been secretly twisted into a rope because of Qiao Nan. The people in the capital did not know much about this situation but Zhai Yaohui was aware in his heart.
As he drank the tea prepared by Qiao Nan, he felt so happy and at ease.
It was true. Where could he find such a good daughter-in-law?!
Zhai Yaohui had not spoken about it before, but his thoughts were similar to his wife, Miao Jing: Their son was very capable. The best thing that he had done was to find the right wife.
"Hahaha." Hearing Zhai Yaohui's praise for Zhai Sheng, Zhai Hua sneered continuously. "This is a May-December romance, yet everyone is so smug about it. Where is your shame?" They felt proud instead of shameful about it. Where were the values, morals, and characters? Where were the boundaries?
Zhai Yaohui put down his cup of tea and looked at Zhai Yaohui indifferently. "You can do the same too."
If Hua Hua could find someone similar to Qiao Nan—no, half as good as Qiao Nan, regardless of the other party's age and situation, he would accept him as long as he was true to Hua Hua.
"Sister Zhai Hua, do you have a tendency toward May-December romance?" Qiao Nan blinked her eyes. So, Sister Zhai Hua also wanted to find someone younger than her?
Zhai Hua tugged the corners of her lips weakly. "I have not met anyone suitable currently. If I like him, I am not particular about his age!"
After meeting a scum like Wei De, Zhai Hua discovered that her tolerance level and resilience had improved tremendously.
The rest of the things did not matter. Most importantly, she would have to like the person first.
"Old master, dinner is ready," the auntie wiped her hands and said softly.
"Ready?" Old Master Zhai took a glance at the clock. "It's already seven old o'clock. The sky is getting darker. No wonder I am feeling hungry. Let's quickly have our meal."
Once Old Master Zhai gave the orders, everyone from the Zhai family proceeded to the dining table.
It was the day before the Lunar New Year's eve. There were a few more dishes on the dining table in the Zhai family today. There were also the auntie's specialty dishes.
Miao Jing was piling Qiao Nan's bowl with dishes enthusiastically. "Nan Nan, you have to go to school and take exams in normal times. Eat more and well. Never shortchange yourself. Don't be polite with us. If there is anything you want to eat, you have to tell auntie and ask her to make it for you."
"Thank you, Mom." Looking at the bowl that was piled with a mountain of dishes, Qiao Nan smiled. The burden in her heart disappeared and she started eating happily.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' contents, the family sat together to watch television and chat. About nine o'clock, one by one, everyone returned to their rooms.
The clothes that Zhai Hua bought for Qiao Nan today were new and could not be worn yet.
Fortunately, Qiao Nan still had Miao Miao, this mother-in-law. After knowing Qiao Nan's size, during the six months Qiao Nan was studying in college in the capital, Miao Jing had helped Qiao Nan organize and decorate the latter's wardrobe according to her preferences.
