Chapter 797 Suspect Wei De
Zhai Sheng set a trap for Zhai Hua. She was oblivious to it as she was thrilled by what Zhai Sheng said.
Zhai Hua could only marry Wei De if he was true to Zhai Hua and was a good man like what Zhai Hua had said. He had to meet these conditions in order to be a good son-in-law.
However, from his choice of words, Zhai Sheng did not agree with Zhai Hua that Wei De was the kind of person as she had described.
“Rest assured. I understand that these are required of him. You are a good judge of character to have chosen Qiao Nan as your girlfriend. I am just as good as you. I admit that Wei De did not do as well in the army. But he is good at running business. Every trade has its master. I believe Wei De will be able to succeed in running a business and his efforts will be recognized by all of you and you will agree that he is a good person.”
Zhai Hua was full of confidence and downright naive when she made these remarks.
“I am relieved that you think this way. In fact, you don’t have to care about our attitude toward Wei De. If he is a good man, you don’t have to insist that we accept him right away. You never know what you can until you try. Although we cannot accept Wei De, our parents did not insist that you break up with him. Similarly, even if you want us to accept him, you must not do so in a hurry. You must take things slowly. You have a temper, and so do we. The more you force us to accept him, the more we will feel repulsive of him. Give us some time. We will eventually realize that Wei De is a good man. Perhaps with time, when conditions are ripe, your relationship will be accepted by the family and you will not hurt anyone’s feelings. Do you understand?”
Zhai Sheng changed his tone and turned to give Zhai Hua advice.
Since Zhai Hua wanted to use the soft approach on him, Zhai Sheng would set her own spear against her own shield.
As expected, Zhai Hua softened her tone as well. “This…” It seemed to make sense.
She had total confidence in Wei De. She absolutely believed in his personality and ability. Sooner or later, he would get her family’s approval.
“It’s good that you understand. When I came back today, I noticed that mom doesn’t look too well. I suppose it has to do with Wei De and you. I won’t say that mom is more important than Wei De and she is your only mom in the world while you can find other men. This is ridiculous. What I want to say is that she is your only mom and Wei De is your only man. However, Mom is not as strong as Wei De. You have to take considerations of her health and feelings. Why do you think I keep my relationship with Nan Nan a secret for such a long time? It is because we are worried that Mom will not be able to take it if we break the news to her. Given her temper, she may go down a dead end. Whenever she was in a dead-end in the past, she could chat with Nan Nan. If we tell her the truth, she will have one less person to talk to.”
Zhai Sheng was telling Zhai Hua that he had been setting an example for her. He had been considerate of his mother’s feelings all along.
He practiced what he preached.
Zhai Hua could not rebut him. What Zhai Sheng said was the truth. He was not lying.
Zhai Hua knew her brother well. It was unlike him to keep his relationship with Qiao Nan a secret. Back then, he was very honest about his dislike for Qiu Chenxi.
It turned out that Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng were worried about Miao Jing.
It was easy to give advice while it was difficult to practice what one preached.
“Well, I understand what you mean. I will think about it. You are not the only person who is worried about Mom. I love her as well. In the future, I will not do so anymore…” Zhai Hua stood up awkwardly. She had created a lot of trouble for her parents because of her relationship with Wei De.
Zhai Sheng was smarter and more tactful than her.
Her mother had always objected to the relationship between Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan. But Zhai Sheng was not in a hurry to gain her approval. They had been in a relationship for two years and her mother had no idea that Qiao Nan was Zhai Sheng’s girlfriend. He had been waiting patiently for the right time to disclose their relationship.
Unlike her…
Furthermore, their relationship was discovered by the family under very awkward circumstances.
The family had found out about her relationship at a bad timing. Wei De left a bad impression on them. Her bad attitude also made matters worse. Everything just turned from bad to worse.
She could only sum it up in one sentence: It was an indescribable mess!
Zhai Hua left Zhai Sheng’s room. She had a vague feeling that something seemed to have happened, but she had no idea what it was.
Wei De, who was in a bad mood, did not know that his efforts of brainwashing Zhai Hua for half a year would be wasted. He tried to convince Zhai Hua to use all means and methods so that the Zhai family would agree to their marriage plans and that they could marry and have children soon.
However, Zhai Sheng was smarter than him. He made Zhai Hua change her mind within three minutes. All his efforts had gone down the drain.
That was why when Wei De was still in the army, he was only an ordinary soldier while Zhai Sheng was the regiment commander.
Wei De could not win against Zhai Sheng. He was merely older in age, but he was not smarter than Zhai Sheng.
Zhai Sheng felt much at ease after settling Zhai Hua’s problem.
While Zhai Hua slept soundly, Zhai Sheng went to Zhai Yaohui’s study room.
Zhai Yaohui put down his reading glasses. “What are you doing here so late into the night?”
“Are you going to send someone to investigate Wei De?”
“Is there such a thing?” Zhai Yaohui looked to be unaffected.
“Do some investigations. I suspect that Wei De may have something to do with what happened to Nan Nan during the college entrance examination.”
Zhai Yaohui frowned slightly. “What’s the proof?”
“Zhai Hua said that Wei De is in a bad mood recently.”
“Alright, I understand.” Wei De had been onto Zhai Yaohui’s blacklist. He had a lousy personality.
Zhai Sheng worked very hard in order to find out the truth behind what happened during the college entrance examination. He would investigate every single clue that he had.
On the same night, Zhai Sheng had received evidence that Qiu Chenxi had transferred a large sum of money to an unknown account recently. According to the police officers’ deduction and investigation, the sum of money matched the amount of money that the mastermind paid the helpers.
Without a doubt, Chen Jun was involved in the matter.
Zhai Sheng did not forget about Qiao Zijin either. She had used his money and completed her high school with his help. Not only was she not grateful, but she also turned against Qiao Nan.
He would not let all these people off.
Fifteen days had passed since Ding Jiayi was hospitalized. Her injuries had begun to heal but she was still unable to exert her strength. However, she was able to sit up by herself and to take a few steps.
