Chapter 869 Have Confidence in Qiao Nan
“Although you don’t care about it, there will be someone who does. Actually, you should tell Qiao Nan that Qiu Chenxi went to Mo Du to ask for help from your grandparents. Qiu Chenxi bears a grudge and her only target is Qiao Nan. The connections that your grandpa has are very helpful to Qiu Chenxi.” Qiu Chenxi was Qi Minlan’s daughter. Shi Peng knew Qiu Chenxi’s personality very well.
The mother and daughter had a similar personality.
“What is there to be scared of?” Shi Qing lifted her chin proudly like a rooster. “Even if Qiao Nan does not have the backing of the Zhai family, she still has Elder Lin. With his help, Qiu Chenxi can never dream of winning against Qiao Nan.”
If Elder Lin did not have the ability, her grandpa would not send her to learn from him when she was at a young age.
She was certain that Elder Lin had as many connections as her grandpa.
If Qiu Chenxi wanted to make use of the Shi family’s connections to turn defeat into victory and defeat Qiao Nan, she had a long way to go.
“In terms of backing and support, Qiao Nan is the future daughter-in-law of the Zhai family as well as Elder Lin’s disciple. In terms of capabilities, Qiu Chenxi is no match for Qiao Nan right now. In terms of aptitude, Qiu Chenxi suffers a crushing defeat under Qiao Nan. In terms of who is more hardworking, Qiao Nan is the winner once again. No matter how much effort Qiu Chenxi puts in, I don’t believe that she can overtake Qiao Nan.”
Shi Peng was amused. “Do you have that much confidence in Qiao Nan?” She was not so confident of herself.
“Yes!” She had total confidence in Qiao Nan.
If Qiu Chenxi refused to give up and wanted to fight it out with Qiao Nan, she would wait to see if Qiu Chenxi would be able to get a new lease of life in a few years’ time and defeat Qiao Nan!
“Dad, have you really made up your mind not to go?” It was August now. The weather was very hot and stuffy. She felt as if she was a candle, melting under the hot sun. Qiao Nan, who was about to go to college, could not help but complain about the ridiculous weather.
As a new first-year student in college, Qiao Nan still had to go through a long period of military training.
It was a hot summer day. Qiao Nan began to pack her belongings that she would need when she reported to the school.
Qiao Dongliang helped Qiao Nan pack her belongings. In no time, he was drenched in perspiration. He took the towel that he draped over his neck to wipe his face. “No, you are going to the capital to study. There is no need for me to go and increase your burden.”
He heard that the prices of housing in the capital were alarmingly high. It would cost a lot to buy houses or even to rent houses.
Initially, Qiao Dongliang had the intention to go to the capital with Qiao Nan. That was because he felt insecure.
But right now, Qiao Dongliang felt more at ease. He felt that there was no longer the need for him to accompany his daughter to the capital as it would only add on to her burden. This was not what a father should do. Besides, he was a man. How could a man be so clingy to his daughter?
“When you are in the capital, study hard and don’t worry about me. If I run into any problems, I can discuss it with Director Shi. There will not be any problems. As for your mom and me, we are divorced. Apart from you and Zijin, we are not any different than strangers. Moreover, now that your school is starting soon, Zijin will have to go to school as well. I will have a lot of free time.”
Qiao Dongliang straightened his back after packing everything for Qiao Nan. “Have you kept the money?”
“I have deposited them into the bank. When I reach the capital, I can withdraw the money at the bank. I don’t feel safe carrying so much cash with me.” Qiao Nan shook her head. She might have heard too many stories from other people. Therefore, she did not have the habit of carrying too much cash with her.
Now that she had deposited the money in the bank, when she reached her school, she only needed to go to the bank to withdraw the money. It was safer to bring the passbook than to bring the cash with her on the journey.
If a thief stole her money during the journey, she would have no way to get the money back.
“This is a good idea.” Qiao Dongliang praised her. “You are indeed someone who is going to college. You have considered everything thoroughly. Nan Nan, you are really an adult now. Unlike me, you have thought of everything. Did you share this method with Shi Qing?”
Qiao Dongliang treated Shi Qing like his niece. He would share every good food and stuff with her.
“There is no need to teach her this method.” Qiao Nan snorted. “Given her physical strength, one will be courting death to steal money from her.”
Qiao Dongliang drank some water and smiled helplessly. “But she still has to be careful. No matter how powerful she is, she will let her guard down at times.”
“I have told her the method long ago. That was what she told me. If not, how about you try talking to her?” Qiao Nan blinked. Shi Qing was confident in her physical strength, and she would not listen to her words.
“…” Qiao Dongliang drank some more water. He turned silent before saying, “It’s alright. There is still Director Shi.”
As Qiao Dongliang had expected, Shi Qing was confident of herself, but Shi Peng was worried about her.
After Shi Peng found out about Qiao Nan’s method, he felt that it was indeed a good idea. He did not discuss with Shi Qing. Instead, he took all her cash from her and handed her a passbook instead. It was obvious what he meant by that.
“Nan Nan, are you sure you want to take the train with so many people?” It was the day where Qiao Nan and Shi Qing had to report to their school at the capital. Miao Jing came to send Qiao Nan off personally.
Two days after Zhai Hua went back to the camp, Zhai Sheng was asked to go back as well. Otherwise, he would be the one who sent Qiao Nan to school today. After all, they were already engaged.
“Actually, I can get someone to send you to school.” Miao Jing shot a worried glance at the train that was packed with people. She had a terrible headache. “I heard from Zhai Sheng that you will lose your appetite and weight in summer. It is such a hot, sunny day. It is torturous to be cramped in the train cabin.”
Miao Jing took a look at the train and she felt that she could not tolerate the heat. “Why don’t you take the plane? Although it is more expensive, it is faster and you do not have to go through all these troubles.”
“Mom, there is no need for that. I will get used to it.” Qiao Nan looked toward the train. In fact, she felt uneasy and worried. However, she had to encourage herself to get used to it. “Everyone takes the train. I… I can endure hardships.”
Shi Qing checked the time. “Auntie Miao, if we don’t get on the train, it will leave soon.”
“Let’s get on the train. When I reach the capital, I will give you a phone call to tell you that I am safe.” Qiao Dongliang stood beside Miao Jing. Qiao Nan could not address them as her mother and father, lest other people thought that they were a couple.
Qiao Dongliang nodded. “Alright. The two of you should get on the train. When you reach the school, if you lack anything, don’t be stingy with the money and buy whatever that you need. You must also have proper meals. Don’t worry. I will be able to finance you through college!”
“That’s right. Nan Nan, your dad is right. Money is not an issue. After you reach the school, you only have to concentrate on your studies.
