However, ever since Zhai Sheng became sensible, she had never won against her younger brother once. However, following Qiao Nan’s appearance, Zhai Hua felt that although she was in her forties, there was actually still a chance for her to make a comeback. It was really good to have a prospective sister-in-law.
“Nan Nan shifted house?” Zhai Sheng really didn’t know about this.
Zhai Hua waved the phone in her hands. “That’s right. After Nan Nan returned today, she immediately sent me her new address. So, do you want it?” If you want it, you’d better show me a better attitude and say some nice words to make me happy. Otherwise, I’m not going to give it to you.
Zhai Sheng raised his head and silently took out his mobile. “Hello, Xiao Xu. It’s me.”
“Chief. Sister Qiao is already back. When are you returning?” To Xiao Xu, since Qiao Nan was a couple with his chief and Qiao Nan had already returned, it was going to be the chief’s turn next. “Shall I drive over to pick you up?” He couldn’t possibly let the chief return by train just like Sister Qiao, right?
Zhai Sheng’s eyes flashed the word ‘indeed’. “Is the new house you arranged for her still alright?”
“Yes. Chief, don’t worry. I can’t possibly let Sister Qiao stay in a bad house.” Could it be that he wasn’t afraid of offending Sister Qiao and the chief? If it wasn’t disallowed or inconvenient, he would have given up his own house for Sister Qiao to live in.
Sister Qiao was the future wife of their chief. She was a heroine who won over the chief and a great benefactor who could potentially give birth to a little chief. He naturally had to serve Sister Qiao well like she was his ancestor.
During the times when the Zhai family and Qiao Nan were in Ping Cheng, Xiao Xu had some time to contact the people in the army. When the people in the army knew about their chief’s situation and that he was about to end his singlehood, everyone howled in excitement. They were envious of Xiao Xu’s good luck. Not only could he take care of the chief, but he could also obtain first-hand information quickly.
Being envied by the comrades in the army, Xiao Xu felt proud. It was exactly the same as when he had defeated the enemy until his birth mother couldn’t recognize him back when there was a situation at the borders. After showcasing himself in front of his comrades, the attention Xiao Xu paid to Qiao Nan was almost catching up with what he paid to Zhai Sheng.
Once he heard that Qiao Nan was going to stay in a different place, how would Xiao Xu dare to disagree?
The place Qiao Nan originally lived in was still considered quiet. However, it wasn’t the best house in the Xu family’s hands. After the incident with Chen Jun, if he wasn’t afraid that his big movements would arouse Qiao Nan’s suspicion, Xiao Xu wouldn’t have just changed a door back then. He couldn’t wait to transform the first house Qiao Nan rented into an iron bucket such that unless Qiao Nan wanted to open the door, outsiders couldn’t enter even if they were carrying cannons!
Qiao Nan wanted to change a place to stay out of her own accord. Xiao Xu immediately got his mother to make the arrangements. Her living environment had improved by more than a notch, but the Xu family didn’t increase Qiao Nan’s rent by a lot. Qiao Nan was even the one who had insisted on increasing the rent as she saw the difference between the houses. If Qiao Nan hadn’t insisted, Xiao Xu would have rented out this house at the same price as the one she had lived in before.
Upon hearing Xiao Xu’s sincere answer, Zhai Sheng felt very satisfied. “Xiao Xu, well done. Send me her new address. I’ll take a look at her new place once I return to Qingshui Town.”
Xiao Xu was happy. “Chief, aren’t you making an unnecessary move? I can pick you up and send you straight to Sister Qiao’s. Why would you still need her address?” With him around, the chief didn’t need to spend any additional effort.
“Okay, come and pick me up tomorrow.” Zhai Hua was being silly and he had followed suit as well, causing him to be a laughingstock in front of a small soldier like Xiao Xu. Zhai Sheng gave Zhai Hua a side glance. Indeed, he couldn’t spend too much time with someone who wasn’t too smart. It was proven that silliness was a contagious illness.
Even if Zhai Sheng didn’t say it out loud, both of them had lived together for the first two decades. As such, one look at Zhai Sheng and Zhai Hua knew that he had eliminated her in his heart. “Fine, you have a way. You’re awesome. Will that do?!” Damn. She had forgotten about Xiao Xu, the ‘spy’. If she had known earlier, she would have warned Xiao Xu first to keep his lips sealed regarding Qiao Nan’s matters. She would definitely not have allowed Xiao Xu to share with Zhai Sheng Qiao Nan’s address.
“Since you’re so awesome, when Mom and Dad are back, you’ll tell them that Qiao Nan has returned to Qingshui Town.” Their parents were anxious for Zhai Sheng to get married. If they knew that Zhai Sheng didn’t manage to woo her and even let her run away, she didn’t believe that they wouldn’t control him.
In the face of Zhai Hua’s childish tricks, Zhai Sheng was not afraid at all. “Sure. Thankfully, you’re about to get a divorce with Wei De soon and the both of you shouldn’t have any ties in the future. Otherwise, it’s fine if you became stupid, but Jiajia couldn’t be ruined by the both of you.” Thankfully, Jiajia wasn’t as stupid as Zhai Hua yet. Otherwise, he didn’t know how much dowry he had to prepare for Jiajia in the future so that she could marry a good man.
Zhai Hua gritted her teeth. She was not going to waste her breath on Zhai Sheng now. When their parents returned, she was going to see how Zhai Sheng would account to them that Qiao Nan had returned to Qingshui Town.
When Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing returned, Zhai Hua understood why Zhai Sheng was so confident and wasn’t worried at all that Qiao Nan’s departure would upset them. Zhai Sheng was calm and relaxed as he ignored Zhai Hua’s playful look and said, “Dad, Mom, Nan Nan has returned to Qingshui Town first. Xiao Xu is going to pick me up tomorrow. Do you want to come along?”
“…”
“!”
Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing were shocked. Then, they calmed down. “But Hua Hua’s lawsuit hasn’t ended yet, and Jiajia is still schooling.” It wasn’t too good to Hua Hua and Jiajia if she left like that, right? Although a daughter-in-law was important, her daughter and granddaughter were important as well.
Zhai Sheng looked calm. “I’ll head back first. You can come over after settling Zhai Hua’s and Wei De’s divorce.”
Zhai Yaohui made a decision. “That’s settled, then.” Children were debts from their previous births. Miao Jing and Zhai Yaohui didn’t forget the words Zhai Hua had said when she insisted on marrying Wei De back then. Even though the Zhai family was bound to win this divorce lawsuit, Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing could only stay behind to accompany their daughter and granddaughter first so that their daughter would not make any noise.
As for their son and future daughter-in-law, they would owe him first. There were plenty of chances in the future for them to double the compensation.
She initially thought that she would win against Zhai Sheng, but she didn’t expect him to use her in return. Not only did their parents not pursue the matter of Qiao Nan’s departure, but they also felt guilty toward Zhai Sheng because of that.
Zhai Hua, who stomached the anger, expressed that twenty years ago, Zhai Sheng was a cunning little fox.
