Chapter 841 How Dare He Be At Odds?
Zhai Hua almost fainted from anger. Each of her family members was more stubborn than each other. If they said that they disagreed, it meant that they really did.
Many years ago, the old master disagreed letting her father marry Qi Minlan. In the end, was it not true that Qi Minlan was not qualified to marry into the family?
It was already such a tough journey for them and Wei De had to increase the level of difficulty on his own accord. “If you don’t wish to be together with me or if you’re sick of this, tell me earlier. I won’t waste your time too. Your mom’s health is poor and she has been pining for a grandson. After we break up, given your current situation, it’s still quite easy for you to marry another woman. Maybe both of us will feel more relieved thereafter.”
Zhai Hua gave a mocking laugh and simply hung up the phone.
Thereafter, Wei De made over twenty phone calls before Zhai Hua was willing to pick it up. “Hua Hua, why did you say that? You’re the only woman that I want to marry in my entire life. Don’t you understand my feelings for you? Since I’ve been in business, I can’t help but attend some entertainment events. Nevertheless, haven’t I always been disciplined and have never committed the mistakes most easily committed by men? Of course I want to marry you. I… I admit that I am wrong in Qiao Nan’s issue. I didn’t handle it well enough. It’s not that I’m biased against Qiao Nan. Perhaps I feel a little awkward toward Regiment Commander Zhai because of what happened when I left the army previously. If I marry you, he will be my brother-in-law and vice versa. We will become one family. He didn’t help me even with such a small matter and caused me regrets in life about my time in the army.”
Break up?
How was that possible?!
His life had just picked up and this platform was given to him by Zhai Hua.
It had been so easy for him to start a business previously. He had amassed so much wealth in just one year.
If Zhai Hua was gone, the extent of the difficulty that he would face doing business now would be the same extent as the ease that he had when he first started out.
The money that he had earned in his entire life would be reduced to nothing, not even a single cent, within a month.
Wei De was clearly aware of the importance of Zhai Hua for his company’s existence.
He had not gained a strong footing and did not have sufficient connections and capital. He was not even experienced in business, and neither did he possess any investment sense.
If he were to leave the wide network of connection given to him by Zhai Hua, Wei De was still Wei De. He would still be that poor lad that came out of the poor ravine, one that was a good-for-nothing.
“Then?” Zhai Hua did not accept any of the many reasons mentioned by Wei De. “Wei De, I always thought that you’re quite reasonable, that you’re a true man. Why couldn’t I tell that you also have such a petty side in you?”
In front of the Zhai family, Zhai Hua would always try her best to put in good words for Wei De. That was because Wei De had not been accepted by the Zhai family. However, this did not mean that Wei De only had merits and no demerits.
When she was alone with Wei De, Zhai Hua would never only say the good things and omit the bad ones. “Clearly, one year ago, you told me that, in fact, you were in the wrong and left the army. However, that platoon leader not only left the camp but also broke a limb. Didn’t you say that you felt quite guilty toward him?”
If he truly felt guilty about it, why did Wei De still put the blame of this matter on Zhai Sheng?
That was fine. If he was resentful toward Zhai Sheng, Wei De should be at odds with Zhai Sheng directly and not bother Qiao Nan. “Wei De, you didn’t fight with Zhai Sheng directly but you laid your hands on Qiao Nan. Why do I feel that you’re afraid of the strong and choose to bully the weak? You’re just picking on the opponents who are easier to bully!”
Wei De knitted his brows, feeling a little sullen. “Isn’t Zhai Sheng your younger brother? If I really lay my hands on him, can you bear to see it happen? I didn’t do that because of you.”
Wei De had been pretending too much in front of Zhai Hua normally. At this juncture, he had gone overboard in his pretense.
“What’s so unbearable? I’ve already told you long ago that our Zhai family favors the strong ones. If you really have the courage to be at odds with Zhai Sheng or even win against him, maybe it’ll be easier for the two of us to become together. Do you want to give this method a try?”
“…” Wei De had a headache and he rubbed his temple. He was very speechless at the serious attitude of Zhai Hua when she gave this suggestion.
Being at odds with Regiment Commander Zhai?
If he truly had this capability, he, and not Zhai Sheng, would be the one assuming the regiment commander role now.
As humans, who would not pick the weaker ones to bully? Who would be foolish enough to go head-on with the stronger ones? Could Zhai Hua not be so naive?!
It was fine that she pretended to be righteous in front of outsiders. There were only the two of them in a private setting now. Sometimes, he really did not know how to respond to these unrealistic words of Zhai Hua.
Wei De was unhappy, and Zhai Hua felt more depressed. “Wei De, my parents told me that I have not seen your true side. Tell me, have I really not seen that true side of you?”
After knowing each other for a few years and dated, Wei De did not have any demerits in Zhai Hua’s eyes. He was conscientious during training sessions in the army, was good to his comrades and filial to his parents. After he was together with her, he was very caring and would not expect her to take more care of him just because she was the deputy battalion commander.
However, when Wei De came into contact with her family, the number of conflicts increased. Hence, Zhai Hua’s opinions of Wei De did not always remain the same.
For example, at this moment, Zhai Hua was very doubtful.
Clearly, he was someone quite smart but he had to fumble the ball and perform very badly at critical times. He even caused her mother to faint from anger.
The Wei De in the past had backbones and was only willing to rely on his own capability. However, it was the truth that he had wanted to get in through the back door one year ago. Although it was for the sake of his bed-ridden mother, it could not change the fact that Wei De had wanted to get in through the back door and be in Zhai Sheng’s team.
Moreover, he was not familiar with Qiao Nan and the latter had not offended him before.
Anyone who saw a stranger being bullied by such a muddleheaded mother would step out to voice justice and help her. However, Wei De did the exact opposite.
The more she thought about it, the more confused Zhai Hua felt. “Wei De, what kind of person are you exactly? Is my impression of you right or wrong?”
When Zhai Hua said this, Wei De then truly panicked.
Wei De had been pretending in front of Zhai Hua most of the time.
Besides, Zhai Hua and Qiao Nan had the same problem. They assumed that someone in a soldier’s uniform was definitely the most adorable person, righteous, and responsible person on earth.
This was the first impression that Qiao Nan had toward soldiers. However, after some interaction, Qiao Nan could also have a change of her first impression very easily.
Zhai Hua was lacking a little in this aspect. Given that Wei De was a soldier, she admired a man such as Wei De very much. Naturally, she transformed all her admiration and approvals into love after they became a couple.
Wei De was someone who was good at currying favor. When they were first together, Wei De dared not reveal too much of his character. Thereafter, he had been observing Zhai Hua and found out what kind of man she liked.
In the end, Wei De worked on transforming himself toward the kind of man that Zhai Hua liked.
The truth was unquestionable, and so were lies.
As time passed, Wei De would eventually let the cat out of the bag in front of Zhai Hua.
Once Wei De was not the man that Zhai Hua had wished for, this relationship would not be able to proceed.
