Chapter 1921: Old Master

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Indeed, she was extraordinarily stupid back then and couldn’t tell right from wrong. “Jiajia, you just returned from outside. Quickly wash your hands. We’ll be having dinner soon. As for your aunt, leave it to your uncle. If he doesn’t have a way to chase after your aunt, I’ll settle scores with him on behalf of you.”

Thankfully, it wasn’t too late now. Although her grandpa was no longer around, her parents were still alive.

Based on her temper, Zhai Hua didn’t dare imagine how she would really continue her stubborn ways with the Zhai family if she didn’t find out about Wei De’s and Wei Xiaomei’s relationship and continued to be kept in the dark by the Wei family. Could it be that their family wouldn’t experience such a scene like today even until her parents were gone?

Just thinking about it, Zhai Hua felt that such a ‘future’ was too scary. She was still feeling regretful that when Old Master Zhai left, he was still worried that she wouldn’t be leading a good life after marrying Wei De. If her parents’ regrets were added to this, she probably wouldn’t be able to continue living in this lifetime.

Jiajia stuck out her tongue. “I’ll wash my hands first. Uncle, go for it. Auntie Qiao’s pretty good. You’ll regret it if you miss her out.” Her uncle could marry any woman, but she felt that her uncle needed a woman like Auntie Qiao by her side. Regardless of how she thought about it, it would just be awkward if there was another woman standing by her uncle’s side.

“Uncle knows.” He patted Jiajia’s head. Compared to Zhai Hua, his worrying sister, Zhai Sheng found Jiajia to be more pleasing to the eye. At least, Jiajia wouldn’t hinder him. Comparing the mother and daughter, the daughter was still more sensible. Zhai Hua really hadn’t grown up yet.

Qiao Nan didn’t know that after she left the Zhai family, Jiajia had already started addressing her as aunt. It was just that when a familiar stranger came knocking on her door, Qiao Nan felt complicated in her heart. She was very unwilling to let the person before her enter her house or have any form of interaction with her.

She didn’t understand. Why was it that no matter where she went, there would always be those people who appeared in her dreams or were related to the Zhai family? “I’m sorry. I don’t think I know you. Did you find the wrong place?”

Even though the Qiu Chenxi now looked older than the one in her dream, Qiao Nan could still recognize her immediately. Once she saw her, Qiao Nan wanted to slam the door shut.

She had no choice. There was once in her dream that Qiu Chenxi came knocking on her door as well. At that time, Qiu Chenxi wasn’t sure of her relationship with Zhai Sheng but started to scold her that she was a vixen. Such a memory wasn’t good at all. The scene now was about to overlap with the one in her dream.

In this world, nobody would like it if someone suddenly came knocking on your door to scold you.

“Hello, I’m Qiu Chenxi. I know you don’t know me, but I didn’t find the wrong place. Zhai Sheng and I... No matter what, I really want to thank you for this period of time. Jiajia suddenly ran out that day. That frightened my family. Thankfully, you were there. If I lost Jiajia, I wouldn’t know how to account for it to my older sister.”

Qiu Chenxi wasn’t fierce toward Qiao Nan. Instead, she looked as if she was very grateful to her.

Qiao Nan knew that Qiu Chenxi was an only daughter and she didn’t have an older sister in the family. As for Shi Qing, she was younger than Qiu Chenxi. As such, Qiao Nan guessed that the ‘older sister’ Qiu Chenxi was referring to was Zhai Hua.

“Oh, you’re here for Jiajia. She’s not with me. I’ve already sent her back to the Zhai family.” Qiao Nan didn’t mention that she knew about Qiu Chenxi’s existence in the Zhai family. Seeing that Qiu Chenxi was vague about her identity, she didn’t continue to probe what she meant.

Since Qiu Chenxi didn’t want to say it clearly, she didn’t want to ask that clearly either. As for news pertaining to the Zhai family, Qiao Nan had said it very skillfully as well. She only provided Qiu Chenxi the information that she already knew. Qiao Nan didn’t mention anything about the things that Qiu Chenxi didn’t know about.

Anyway, from the pauses Qiu Chenxi made earlier, it was already clear that she had a close relationship with the Zhai family. Since she was close with them, it should be Qiu Chenxi telling Qiao Nan, the ‘outsider’, matters regarding the Zhai family, instead of Qiao Nan telling Qiu Chenxi the ‘insider’.

Qiu Chenxi felt a little anxious. She started to suspect if Qiao Nan wasn’t good with words, or if she did so deliberately. It should be the former, right?

Qiu Chenxi wanted to find out more about the Zhai family’s situation so that she could think of a way to use Zhai Hua’s and Wei De’s divorce as a breakthrough point to let the Zhai family feel her sincerity and heart to change. She wanted to return to that family and have a family that belonged to her and Zhai Sheng. She could change or tolerate anything else.

It was a pity that if Qiu Chenxi didn’t ask, Qiao Nan would definitely not take the initiative to mention the Zhai family’s situation. This made Qiu Chenxi seem very passive. If she took the initiative to ask about the Zhai family’s situation, it would seem inappropriate. The most important thing was that she didn’t have the chance to tell Qiao Nan yet that she was Zhai Sheng’s wife and she had the intention to reconcile with him now.

Qiu Chenxi tried her best to smile. “I know. I know you sent Jiajia back to the Zhai family, and that’s why I’m here today to thank you. Our family only has a child, Jiajia. She’s the lifeline of everyone in our family. Even if Jiajia ran into a little accident, it would still be a big blow to our family. This is our small gratitude. I hope you don’t reject it.”

Of course, Qiu Chenxi couldn’t come empty-handed to thank Qiao Nan. She was carrying a bunch of things in her hands.

Qiao Nan was flattered. She had similarly come knocking on her door. However, instead of scolding her, Qiu Chenxi even thanked her and brought so many gifts for her. This time, Qiao Nan really felt the difference between reality and her dream.

“There’s no need to. You’re really too polite. Jiajia’s a child of the Zhai family. I had the opportunity to take care of Chief Zhai for a while. The Zhai family could be considered my old master. Jiajia’s a good child. I should be doing this. Furthermore, the Zhai family has already thanked me. I really don’t need these. You can take them back.”

Although she was pleasantly surprised, Qiao Nan didn’t dare and didn’t want to accept Qiu Chenxi’s things. After all, Qiao Nan was someone who had seen the world. She could tell at a glance what the things Qiu Chenxi brought over were. They were red and big boxes, making Qiu Chenxi’s hands full.

In reality, these were just flashy items. The packaging was not bad, but there wasn’t much content. Since there was nothing much, they naturally didn’t cost a lot. Of course, these skills were taught by Miao Jing after she married Zhai Sheng in her dream.
