Chen Feng gradually understood that Qiao Nan’s words were for his sake.
Chen Feng wasn’t a fool. When his family, especially that mother who left, mentioned his young aunt, their words were always unpleasant and scolding her. Chen Feng couldn’t help but ask Qiao Zijin once, “Mom, isn’t young aunt your biological sister? Why do you have to scold her?”
Chen Feng was just a child who asked questions. Who knew that this question would turn Qiao Zijin into an exploding firecracker? From that day onward, Chen Feng understood that Qiao Nan’s words were meant to protect him.
Chen Feng liked to play with Qiao Nan. His young aunt had said before that as long as he did this, he would have a chance to follow her in the future. He did whatever his young aunt had said. As for the rest, he didn’t care.
Perhaps it was Qiao Nan who had taught well or Chen Feng who was a great actor at a young age, but before today, no one in the Chen family had expected Chen Feng to like Qiao Nan much more than his biological mother, Qiao Zijin. In the few months that Qiao Zijin left, they had never seen Chen Feng crying for his mom.
When they mentioned Qiao Nan today, Chen Feng had a happy look of approval on his face. His reaction made the Chen family hate Qiao Zijin extremely. How big a failure was Qiao Zijin as a mother? Even her biological son didn’t need her.
“Feng Feng, you really like your young aunt?” Father Chen wasn’t concerned about others. He only cared about the words Chen Feng used to describe Qiao Nan. It was undeniable that Qiao Nan wasn’t married, was childless, and had never been a mother before. However, it was obvious that Qiao Nan could teach children better than those women who had given birth before.
His grandson was taught well by Qiao Nan. He knew that his grandson was close to her, but she didn’t sow discord between his grandson, the Qiao family, and the Chen family. If his grandson hadn’t been honest today, even he would not have realized that his grandson unknowingly had a deep relationship with Qiao Nan.
“Yes!” Chen Feng replied very loudly. “If you let young aunt be my mom, I won’t be against it.” Anyway, his young aunt had long existed as a mother in his heart.
“Dad, Mom, see?” Chen Jun was happy. He didn’t expect that there was hope again to what was already deemed as impossible with the help of his son. He could feel that his parents’ hearts were wavering. “Nan Nan is nice and smart. You know about the Qiao family’s situation as well. She’s just unlucky to have such parents and sister. Otherwise, based on Nan Nan’s conditions and intelligence, the university she could be admitted to might even be better than mine. It’s okay not to have high educational qualifications as long as one is progressive. Look at how well she has taught Feng Feng. You don’t know that Qiao Nan has always been doing translation, right? Her command of English is great.”
What were educational qualifications? Having real capability was what mattered most.
Qiao Nan’s English had passed the test. It wasn’t any worse than the university students who had taken the foreign language course. In fact, her actual working ability was better than those students.
Compared to Qiao Zijin, Father Chen and Mother Chen recognized Qiao Nan more. Only Qiao Nan was the daughter-in-law they were willing to acknowledge back then. Now that their son was still interested in Qiao Nan and even their grandson didn’t mind Qiao Nan becoming his mom, what else could they say?
Once Chen Jun’s transfer order arrived, Father Chen and Mother Chen let Chen Jun go to find Qiao Nan. They would leave together with Qiao Nan and live in an unfamiliar city. Chen Jun would remarry Qiao Nan and hold a banquet there.
It was estimated that the people from Ping Cheng and the Qiao family would know about Chen Jun remarrying Qiao Nan only after a very long time.
Once Father Chen and Mother Chen were agreeable, Chen Jun’s plan to pursue Qiao Nan no longer faced any obstacles. He guessed that Qiao Nan was no longer in Ping Cheng. However, before Qiao Nan left, she had bought a train ticket and that would require an ID card.
Chen Jun used a little of his abilities and found out that the last train ticket Qiao Nan bought after leaving Ping Cheng was headed toward Qingshui Town. Then, Chen Jun checked on Qingshui Town’s temporary residence information registered by outsiders.
Chen Jun had a vast network. There was only information that Chen Jun didn’t want to know and nothing that he couldn’t find out.
Chen Jun stood in front of Qiao Nan’s door excitedly. After staring at the door for three minutes and preparing the words he wanted to say, he lifted his hand to knock on Qiao Nan’s door. He had already thought of how to apologize for his mistake back then and seek Qiao Nan’s forgiveness so that she would be willing to leave with him and start anew, giving each other a second chance.
A misunderstanding was a misunderstanding. Happiness was the most important. He and Qiao Nan had already missed a happy life for more than ten years. How many years were there in one’s lifetime? He and Qiao Nan had to cherish all the years after this and not waste time on quarreling.
“Who is that?” Qiao Nan was quite sensitive to knocks on the door recently. Once she heard knocking sounds, she would react like a cat that had gotten its tail stepped. Qiao Nan sighed. Perhaps she should really consider renting another house before getting her own.
That day, Zhai Sheng came over for no good reason and even said strange things. That wasn’t a good sign.
“It’s me.” The voice outside the door clearly sounded like a man, but she was not familiar with it. The hand that Qiao Nan placed on the door stopped. “Who are you?” When she asked, Qiao Nan couldn’t help but laugh. What kind of reply was this?
There are 4.1 billion people in China. Was she a supercomputer? Would she be able to remember the other party’s identity whenever they said ‘it’s me’?
Chen Jun was embarrassed for a while. “Nan Nan, are you doing this deliberately? Do you really not recognize my voice?” In the past, every time he went to find Qiao Nan for a date, Qiao Nan could immediately recognize him once he spoke, even if she hadn’t seen him yet. The importance his girlfriend placed on him made Chen Jun feel proud for quite some time.
He thought that by coming over to find Qiao Nan today, she would definitely be very agitated and recognize him the first instance, just like before. ‘Who are you?’ made Chen Jun feel extremely embarrassed. It was as if what he had thought of was too narcissistic. The good memories the two of them once shared seemed to be just his own imagination.
Qiao Nan’s face darkened. Aside from her dream, only two people would call her Nan Nan in reality. The first was her dad when he felt guilty toward her, and the second was Chen Jun, her ex-boyfriend before he had hooked up with Qiao Zijin. “How do you know I’m here? Did you inform the Qiao family?”
She thought that it wasn’t easy for Chen Jun and Qiao Zijin to get a divorce, so he shouldn’t be interfering in the Qiao family’s messy matters anymore. Now, it seemed that it was imperative for her to move house.
