Chapter 1108: Reject Those Who Are Too Open-Minded
It turned out that Zhai Sheng would wear this type of expression.
It turned out that Zhai Sheng was just an ordinary man and would be attracted to someone he loved.
It turned out that like other men, Zhai Sheng would be so gentle to a woman.
Why was she not the woman who brought about these changes in Zhai Sheng? Why was she not the woman who had his attention and love?
Qiao Nan was just a n.o.body!
She was the one who grew up together with Zhai Sheng. She was the one who spent her days with him. In fact, he spent most of his childhood days with her.
Qiao Nan had no right to s.n.a.t.c.h everything from her!
Qiu Chenxi was all the more unhappy when all the people in the southern quad gave Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan their sincerest blessings.
“Chenxi, if you continue to behave in this way, I will buy the plane tickets and we will fly back to Mo Du tonight.” Qi Minlan was shocked by the drastic change in her daughter. There was a distorted and ugly look on her daughter’s face. She used to be gracious and ladylike. Why did she turn out to be like this?
She could no longer pin her hopes on Zhai Yaohui. He was no longer sorry or apologetic toward her.
As for Qiu Qin, who was in jail, Qi Minlan did not expect him to help her. All she hoped for was that if anything happened, instead of pestering her, Qiu Qin would have self-respect and would seek the Qiu family for help.
Qi Minlan was already fifty years old. Her daughter was her only pillar of support.
It was good enough that Old Master s.h.i.+ was willing to groom Qiu Chenxi and treat her like his paternal grandchild. Qi Minlan would not allow Qiu Chenxi to forget all his teachings because of a wedding and revert to her old ways, behaving like the willful daughter of the Qiu family.
“If your grandpa sees the state that you are in, you should know what kind of punishment is awaiting you.”
Old Master s.h.i.+ was very strict with Qiu Chenxi. She had spent twenty years of her life leading a pampered and willful life.
After she went to Mo Du, she underwent training that was overseen by Old Master s.h.i.+. It seemed as if he wanted her to make up for the hards.h.i.+ps that she did not go through in the twenty years of carefree life that she led. He made sure that she underwent tough and challenging training. Initially, the training was too difficult for Qiu Chenxi to bear.
It was only until later when Qiu Chenxi became accustomed to Old Master s.h.i.+’s training did she find it more bearable.
Qiu Chenxi panicked at her mother’s words. She pulled herself back to reality and schooled her expression. Her fierce, distorted look was gone, and in place was a slight smile and a pair of warm, dark brown eyes. She seemed approachable and friendly.
This was the training that Old Master s.h.i.+ made Qiu Chenxi go through.
If Qiu Chenxi wanted to succeed based on her own abilities, she had to network and build ties with other people.
Once she decided to take this path, she could no longer act willful, overbearing, or do things as she pleased. She had to change her bad habits and personality.
Qi Minlan sighed. “When do you intend to return to Mo Du? School will reopen in a few days and Qiao Nan will have to go back to school. By then, the Zhai family will be moving to the capital as well.”
She had to admit that Qiao Nan was indeed lucky and capable.
Besides having good results, she also chose to study at the university in the capital.
It was such a coincidence that Qiao Nan had only studied in the capital for half a semester and the Zhai family would be moving to the capital.
The Zhai family was Qiao Nan’s biggest and strongest support. Since the Zhai family had moved to the capital, it meant that if Qiao Nan was willing, she would be able to have her way in the capital.
“You can buy the plane ticket to return to Mo Du at noon tomorrow.” Actually, she was able to leave tonight, but Qiu Chenxi refused to do so. She had something to verify and prove.
“Okay.” Since Qiu Chenxi had finally come to a decision, Qi Minlan did not want her to change her mind. Without another word, she left Qiu Chenxi in the house and took a taxi to book the plane tickets.
The quad was bustling with activities and everyone was busy with Zhai Sheng’s wedding.
The people in the northern quad had finished their meals slightly earlier and it was not as noisy. On the other hand, people were still talking and having fun in the southern quad.
It was only when the sky was dark did the noise die down.
“c.r.a.p! It is Zhai Sheng who is getting married, but why am I so exhausted?” Zhai Hua ma.s.saged her arms. She had finally gotten a load off her mind. At least, Qiao Nan had finally joined their family.
Miao Jing was tired from maintaining her smile all day long. “It may be tiring but it is a happy occasion. When you have finally settled down with Dongzi, I will have to be busy again. Given Dongzi’s and your age, I suppose I won’t have much rest before I prepare for the wedding.”
As parents, they had the most difficult time.
Zhai Hua was no longer young. As a man, Tian Dong was not considered young as well.
In Miao Jing’s opinion, the Tian family must be anxious about Tian Dong’s marriage as well.
Once the two families came to an agreement, they would marry each other right away. There was no need to drag further.
Zhai Hua turned purple. “Mom, why would you bring up Dongzi without an apparent reason? Dongzi and his family are indeed in the capital now. But even if we will be going to the capital as well, it is impossible between the two of us.”
When she was at a young age, she was insensible. She bullied Dongzi and played a joke on him. Her mother took it too seriously.
All that said, it was Zhai Sheng’s fault for bringing up Dongzi.
“Mom, Dongzi and I are childhood friends. We are playmates and brothers. I treat all of them equally. Dongzi feels the same toward me. So many years have pa.s.sed, but has Dongzi ever made a phone call to our house to contact me? Perhaps to Dongzi, I am just slightly better than a stranger.”
As a man with self-respect and pride, he would not want to stay in contact with or marry a lady who removed his pants.
Zhai Hua might not be a man, but if this was to happen to her, she would never do that.
“All of you have been thinking too much. Zhai Sheng is angry that I laughed at Qiao Nan and him, so he brought up Dongzi to agitate me. It is impossible between Dongzi and me. Today is Zhai Sheng’s and Qiao Nan’s wedding, but the Tian family did not show up. Besides, Dongzi used to stay in America. I heard that foreigners are more open-minded and they have complicated love relations.h.i.+ps. Dongzi is no longer young. Even if he is single now, he may already have two or three marriages. Of course, I suppose he has had many love relations.h.i.+ps in the past as well.”
Zhai Hua was full of disdain at the mention of this.
Zhai Hua was conservative. The person that she liked must have the same trait.
Otherwise, given her relations.h.i.+p with Wei De, he would have already been intimate with her.
Until now, Zhai Hua was still a chaste young lady. This proved that Zhai Hua was very cautious in her relations.h.i.+p with the opposite gender.
