If Zhai Xin was free or if something happened to him, he must remember to inform her.
Zhou Xing didn’t spend money or give treats in vain. When Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin walked toward the school gate, Zhou Xing immediately received news of this on her mobile.
Once she saw the news, Zhou Xing was so happy that her face was flushed red. Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin were both free today. Could it be that today was her lucky day?
Zhou Xing still remembered how Zhai Yi had rejected her when she called him Brother Zhai Yi previously. Zhai Xin shared a good relations.h.i.+p with Zhai Yi. It was easy for her to sow discord between Zhai Xin and Qiao Nan. After all, a man would forget his mother once he had a wife. This was something very commonplace. However, Zhai Yi was Zhai Xin’s brother. It was more difficult to worsen their relations.h.i.+p as brothers.
If Zhai Yi had fancied her, then everything could be discussed easily. The problem was that she had changed her target to Zhai Xin as she couldn’t hook Zhai Yi back then. Seeing that Zhai Xin was also around today, she didn’t believe that Zhai Yi would not give her face in front of Zhai Xin like before.
Using Zhai Xin to attack Zhai Yi was the best way Zhou Xing could think of.
Zhou Xing was also curious about who could move both Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin at the same time. It had better not be a girl. Otherwise, her situation would become dangerous.
“Oh? Why are you here?” When Zhai Xin saw Zhou Xing, he was extremely surprised. However, he had no intention to avoid her. Upon thinking that his mother was coming over today, didn’t this mean that his mother would meet Zhou Xing? His relations.h.i.+p with Zhou Xing was still unstable, or rather, he still didn’t have that kind of feelings for Zhou Xing. Wasn’t it too early for his mother to know about Zhou Xing’s presence and for the two of them to meet each other?
Zhai Yi frowned. He had more thoughts than Zhai Xin about the timing that Zhou Xing appeared.
If he didn’t have the ability to think about this, Zhai Yi felt that he wasn’t suitable to study at PLA National Defense University. Of course, the current situation seemed to prove that Zhai Xin’s current IQ was not on par yet. Thus, it was similarly unsuitable for him to be studying at PLA National Defense University.
“Nothing. Can’t I come over?” Zhou Xing avoided the question. She knew that if Zhai Xin knew about the things that she was doing at this time, he would definitely not accept it. “You’re to blame as well. It has been almost half a month since our last date. You have no time to see me but you have time now? Why didn’t you inform me that you’re free? Could it be that someone else is more important to you than me?”
Zhou Xing was young and she looked tender. It was appropriate for her to be acting like a spoiled child.
Once Zhai Xin saw Zhou Xing’s look, he was reminded of how San Bao and Ling Ling were at home. His heart couldn’t help but soften. “Who said that I’m free? I still have the heart, but the situation today is different.” His birth mother was coming over. Of course this was something more important than anything else.
“What’s different? You’re standing here with your brother and you seem to be waiting for someone. Who are you waiting for?” Zhou Xing’s eyes swirled with thoughts. They really seemed to be waiting for someone. What kind of person could mobilize the two sons from the Zhai family? She prayed that the other party wasn’t a woman. Otherwise, this woman was too big a threat to her.
Because of Ding Jiayi, Zhou Xing knew that aside from the three children in the Zhai family, there was also the existence of Xu Lingling. Since they were childhood sweethearts, the feelings must be different.
Zhou Xing was extremely worried that Xu Lingling would have feelings for Zhai Yi or Zhai Xin in ways more than what a sister would have for a brother, on account that they had known one another since they were young. If that was the case, how was she going to win against Xu Lingling since she had appeared so late and lacked presence for more than ten years?
Thankfully, Zhai Yi didn’t seem to have that kind of feelings toward Xu Lingling. She was also Zhai Xin’s girlfriend now. Aside from Xu Lingling, there wasn’t any other girl Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin would have known and developed strong feelings for, right?
“Waiting for… She’s here.” Zhai Xin wanted to make Zhou Xing leave as it was really not too convenient for Zhou Xing to meet his mother now. It was a pity that before he could do so, the familiar sound of the car could be heard. Once he saw Qiao Nan’s car, Zhai Xin’s eyes lit up. It was as if a dog had seen a bone and pounced on it, without any care for anything else.
It wasn’t only Zhai Xin who had this expression. Even the cold Zhai Yi who wasn’t easily approachable looked like he had the spring breeze and warm sun on his face.
The brothers stepped forward and opened the car door. “Mom, what brought you to our school today? Go and park the car first. We will bring you around PLA National Defense University today. This is such a rare chance. Back when G.o.dfather and G.o.dmother were studying here, you didn’t have a chance to take a look here as well.”
Qiao Nan was naturally happy to see the two sons whom she had not seen for a long time. It was just that when Qiao Nan saw that there was a young girl standing behind Zhai Xin, her face couldn’t help but stiffen.
Qiao Nan took a deep breath. Er Bao was an innocent party in this matter. He didn’t know anything and she couldn’t lose her temper with him. “Okay, I’ll park the car first. Bring me to a quieter place later where we can have a chat. That young lady is around too, right? Let her stay. I want to have a chat with her as well.”
Qiao Nan didn’t visit PLA National Defense University in the past. However, she knew where the parking lot was as most of the people around her had attended this university before. s.h.i.+ Qing even sent her a thick stack of photos featuring the scenery of the school. Even if they weren’t studying at the same university back then, she could send Qiao Nan photos of PLA National Defense University so that Qiao Nan could feel that she was studying together with her and they had never been separated.
As such, it was normal for Qiao Nan to find the scenery of PLA National Defense University familiar even though it was her first time here. She didn’t need Da Bao and Er Bao to provide her directions to park the car.
Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin were naturally happy that their mother was here. However, Zhou Xing’s face changed a little. She asked anxiously, “This person is…?” She was really confused. Aside from Qiao Nan, who could trouble the two sons from the Zhai family to pick them up?
She didn’t expect that woman to be Qiao Nan. She was prettier than how grandma had described her. If she hadn’t seen for herself, she would have misunderstood that Qiao Nan was a university student if she saw her on the streets. She was already a mother of three children, but she couldn’t see the slightest trace of aging on Qiao Nan’s face.
