Chapter 1918: How Wonderful
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
If she continued to stay in Ping Cheng, Qiao Nan was afraid that her affairs with the Qiao family would become more troublesome. Her father already knew that she was back. It was hard to say when Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin would find out as well. She didn’t want her trip to Ping Cheng to become her nightmare.
In front of the Zhai family, she was naturally unwilling to let the Zhai family see her in a sorry state, even if she had just accompanied Zhai Hua through one of the darkest periods in her life.
Zhai Hua didn’t hold her back this time as she knew it clearly that Qiao Nan was scared away by the Qiao family. Just like how Qiao Nan didn’t bring her away during the divorce and only wanted her to consider some things carefully, Qiao Nan eventually wanted to avoid the Qiao family by hiding. Zhai Hua didn’t approve of the way Qiao Nan handled things. “Okay, you can leave first. I’ll tell my family about your matters. When Jiajia is on holiday, I’ll bring her over to play with you.”
Jiajia really liked Qiao Nan, the future little auntie. Zhai Hua was very happy for Jiajia to interact more with Qiao Nan. After seeing how shameless the Wei family was, Zhai Hua’s thoughts were no longer as naive as when she was young, and she started to become more realistic.
Wei De had such a relationship with Wei Xiaomei, and the both of them even gave birth to a son like Wei Wei. They had been husband and wife for more than ten years, but Wei De never broke the relationship with Wei Xiaomei and only maintained a distance from her like how siblings would. He continued to lead a husband-and-wife life with her behind her back. All of these were enough to prove that on a relationship level, Wei De favored Wei Xiaomei more, and not her. The person Wei De wanted to lead his life with was Wei Xiaomei, and not her.
Then, why did Wei De still want to marry her and was unwilling to get a divorce? It was all because she was the Zhai family’s daughter and was Zhai Sheng’s birth sister.
The most promising person in the Zhai family was naturally her brother, Zhai Sheng. Jiajia would have to largely depend on her uncle, Zhai Sheng, for her future development. For the sake of Wei De, she had long used up almost all her resources. If Jiajia and Qiao Nan had a good relationship, she believed that with Zhai Sheng around, Jiajia’s future wouldn’t be that bad.
Although she didn’t have the capability to influence Wei De, this didn’t mean that Zhai Hua didn’t understand the power of influence. Based on how serious Zhai Sheng was about Qiao Nan, as long as Qiao Nan accepted Jiajia sincerely, Qiao Nan wouldn’t have any opinion on how good Zhai Sheng treated Jiajia.
He was obviously her closest kin. However, because of her own stubbornness, she had to be calculative and see how well an uncle could treat his niece now. Zhai Hua knew that she had already paid a painful and severe price for her stubbornness when she was young.
“Okay, as long as you and Jiajia are free, you are welcome to come and play anytime.” Qiao Nan smiled for overestimating her capabilities. In Qingshui Town, she rented a house, unlike the Zhai family, who owned a house. However, it was fine as long as everyone understood what she meant.
After greeting Zhai Hua, Qiao Nan immediately bought a train ticket to Qingshui Town without a second word.
After knowing that Chen Jun had told on Qiao Nan and the Qiao family now knew about her address, Qiao Nan naturally couldn’t foolishly rent the same house again. Thankfully, Xiao Xu had a number of houses. Once he heard that Qiao Nan wanted to live in a different place, he immediately got his mother to take care of this.
After changing a new environment, Qiao Nan told Zhai Hua her new address in Qingshui Town so that she wouldn’t go to the wrong place when she brought Jiajia over to play in the future.
Zhai Hua raised her eyebrows. Qiao Nan really acted fast. Upon thinking of the content that she had guessed in Qiao Nan’s letter before tearing it up, Zhai Hua touched her chin and smiled. She didn’t expect Zhai Sheng to have a love rival.
“Why is it only you? Where’s Nan Nan?” When Zhai Sheng returned home after dealing with outside affairs, he realized there was only Zhai Hua sitting in the living room. At this time in the past, Qiao Nan would be together with Zhai Hua. The relationship between the two was as good as birth sisters, and they would be chatting with enthusiasm.
It was coincidental that Zhai Sheng headed out today as he had something to do, and Zhai Yaohui and his wife were out as well as they wanted to visit friends. Actually, before the couple headed out, they wanted to bring Qiao Nan along. She was the female owner of the Zhai family in the future. It was necessary for her to interact with the Zhai family’s circle of friends earlier. However, due to Zhai Sheng’s slow actions, Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing could only dispel this idea.
Upon thinking about the watch and bracelet that had been lying in their house for almost two months now and had not been given out yet, Miao Jing looked at Zhai Sheng with disdain. She felt that he was too disappointing. At this age, she really didn’t understand why her son was taking his own sweet time.
“Nan Nan…” Wow, he had called her so intimately. “Nan Nan returned to Qingshui Town today. She asked me to tell you, Mom, and Dad, sorry and goodbye. Oh right, she invited me and Jiajia over to Qingshui Town to play together when we are free.”
Zhai Hua’s ostentatious expression was quite annoying. Zhai Sheng dismissed her little tricks. “That’s fine. The lantern festival is over. I should return to Qingshui Town as well to recuperate.”
As such, what was there for Zhai Hua to be proud of? For Jiajia, Zhai Hua had to wait until it was her school holidays before they could go to Qingshui Town to visit Nan Nan. He was different. He was someone who was going to recuperate at Qingshui Town.
Upon hearing that Zhai Sheng was going to abandon her and chase after Qiao Nan, Zhai Hua couldn’t help but scold him. “You’re such an ungrateful thing. I’m still battling a lawsuit here. Do you only want your wife but not your sister?” As long as her marriage relationship with Wei De didn’t end for a day, Zhai Hua would feel extremely uncomfortable all over.
With regard to this matter, Zhai Hua only hoped that there could be a result as soon as possible so that she and her daughter could have a new beginning.
Zhai Sheng wasn’t prepared to accompany her even though she was facing such a major matter like a divorce lawsuit. Zhai Hua expressed that she was upset and heartbroken and that her sibling relationship with Zhai Sheng was so vulnerable.
Zhai Sheng wouldn’t fall for Zhai Hua’s tricks. “You’re not even prepared to appear in court for the next hearing as you have passed all the authority to your attorney. What difference would I make to you if I stay or not?” He wasn’t the one battling the lawsuit. He was also not the one who’s getting a divorce. He wasn’t obliged to be present.
Zhai Hua rolled her eyes. “Anyway, you’re just lacking conscience. It looks like I, the sister, don’t have to give Qiao Nan’s new address to you. Serves you right for taking so long to chase after your wife. You can be prepared to remain single for a longer period of time.” She had a trump card in her hands. She didn’t believe that Zhai Sheng wouldn’t take the bait.
At this time, Zhai Hua felt that life was beautiful with Qiao Nan’s appearance. She had grown up together with Zhai Sheng.
