Chapter 2023: Making a Trip Here
Even if Qiao Nan didn’t inform the two of them when she was getting married, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin didn’t need to spend too much effort to find out about this since they were all in the same quad. How would Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin be willing to be absent from such an important day? Furthermore, they felt that in today’s wedding, aside from the bride and groom, they were the ones who shouldn’t be absent the most.
Especially after knowing that Qiao Dongliang went to the wedding, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin went over to make their presence known as well. Coincidentally, Shi Qing bumped into them.
When she heard the argument between Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin, Shi Qing guessed that these two noisy women were the bride’s relatives. However, their attitudes really made Shi Qing dislike them.
Shi Qing wasn’t someone ordinary. When most people encountered this situation, upon hearing that the bride was getting married but she didn’t even invite her birth mother and sister, they would think that the bride was too overboard. They were family. Why couldn’t they say things properly? Must she be so heartless that they couldn’t even be relatives?
Shi Qing herself met such extreme relatives before. She could no longer accept the Feng family as relatives. As such, when such a situation was encountered, Shi Qing wouldn’t be like most people and push all the responsibilities and problems to Qiao Nan.
Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi were too arrogant. They felt that since Qiao Nan married Zhai Sheng, they were considered to be royal relatives in the quad and everyone had to give them face. Seeing Qiao Zijin’s and Ding Jiayi’s attitude while speaking, Shi Qing’s first reaction was to let others know how embarrassing it was for Zhai Sheng to have such relatives.
Today was Zhai Sheng’s big day as well. At least, the two of them shouldn’t kick up a fuss and ruin the happy atmosphere. As such, Shi Qing made a call and sent Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi to the police station. They didn’t have any criminal records and their act of harassment was limited. After finding someone who could bail them out, they could be let out within a few hours.
When these two came out from the police station, Shi Qing couldn’t confirm if Zhai Sheng’s wedding banquet had ended. As such, she shared this with Zhai Sheng in advance. Furthermore, someone had to bail that mother-daughter pair out of the police station. In this way, this matter seemed to have something to do with the bride again.
Zhai Sheng understood it immediately. “Okay, I’ll take note of this. It has been tough on you.” Zhai Sheng knew that Shi Qing was still single and he didn’t have any intention to persuade Shi Qing. One had to know that before he met Qiao Nan, he was in the same situation as well. As such, Zhai Sheng knew clearly that it wasn’t that Shi Qing really didn’t want to get married. It was just that she hadn’t met the person she wanted to get married to.
If it wasn’t this person, then it wasn’t important if Shi Qing got married or not. A marriage could result in a divorce until the appearance of that person who could really make her settle down.
Since he knew this answer, Zhai Sheng didn’t say anything so as not to embarrass Shi Qing. “Goodbye. Be careful on the roads.”
“I wish you… happiness.” No, Brother Zhai no longer needed her blessing. She could tell that as long as he stood next to that woman, Brother Zhai was already full of happiness. Shi Qing couldn’t tell if the most fortunate person in this wedding was the bride who married Brother Zhai or Zhai Sheng who finally married his bride. Perhaps, happiness should be like this kind of relationship.
She knew that it wasn’t appropriate for her to speak at this time. Who asked her to no longer be Shi Qing’s best friend now, but she was still Shi Qing’s love rival? Qiao Nan didn’t expect Shi Qing to actually be in the same situation as her now that Zhu Baoguo was gone. She was an old woman in her forties but could stay single until today.
Qiao Nan knew it too clearly in her heart who it was for that Shi Qing had such persistence. In her dreams, if she hadn’t known Shi Qing early, they wouldn’t have become friends in junior high school. It was then that she slowly exerted a subtle influence on Shi Qing and got her to understand things.
Otherwise, Shi Qing wouldn’t have let go of Zhai Sheng so easily. Without these premises in this lifetime, Shi Qing’s feelings for Zhai Sheng would only be deeper than those in her dreams.
Zhai Sheng held Qiao Nan’s shoulders. “It’s alright. Everything will get better.” He had already found his own happiness. He believed that happiness was naturally waiting not far away for a good woman like Shi Qing.
Leaning against Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan asked, “She’s so good… Why didn’t you have such a thought?” She had really appeared too late in this lifetime. It was so late that her first reaction after the car accident was that the Zhai Sheng in this world should have long married and had children. She and Zhai Sheng would naturally become two parallel lines that could never meet.
Even if Qiu Chenxi wasn’t a good person, Shi Qing was a really good woman. She was someone who could make men fall in love with her. Both of them had been single for so many years, but in this lifetime and at this age, Zhai Sheng had not gotten together with Shi Qing. Qiao Nan didn’t expect this at all.
Zhai Sheng couldn’t help but kiss Qiao Nan’s forehead. “Because you’re better. I have always been waiting for your appearance.”
Qiao Nan, who was leaning in Zhai Sheng’s arms, didn’t say anything. If Zhai Sheng really got together with Shi Qing, the person upset today would naturally be her. Everyone was selfish. No one was willing to give up the happiness at their fingertips to others.
The only thing she could do was to pray silently that although Zhu Baoguo was gone, a good woman like Shi Qing could still meet a man as good as Zhu Baoguo in this lifetime. This person would take good care of her for the rest of her life and shelter her from the wind and rain.
Qiao Nan followed Zhai Sheng with peace of mind and gave a toast to the Zhai family’s relatives and friends. Thankfully, the people invited by the Zhai family knew their limits well. None of them said any words of jealousy at this moment. Once they saw Qiao Nan, they complimented her for her good looks and that she looked extremely compatible with Zhai Sheng.
Seeing that Qiao Nan had such a treatment in the Zhai family, the person who felt most at ease was undoubtedly Qiao Dongliang. Before taking a few bites of the dishes, Qiao Dongliang felt that he could really rest assured this time and he no longer had to worry about Qiao Nan’s life in the future.
Qiao Dongliang stood up and took out the phone that had been ringing for a while. He ran to a quieter corner to pick up the call. “Hello. May I check who you…”
“I’m from the Public Security Bureau of the South Ping Cheng Bureau…” The other party went by the books and shared with Qiao Dongliang what had happened. “Your lover and daughter want to return. They need you to come to the bureau to do the procedures. Is it convenient for you to do so now?” These two women were unlucky as well. It was a big shot from the capital who had reported them.
Otherwise, they could have just persuaded them for such a small matter. How was there a need to bring them to the police station and do so many procedures?
