Chapter 1967: Nothing

Zhai Yaohui understood Old He’s meaning, but he didn’t agree with it at all. However, Zhai Yaohui agreed with Miao Jing’s words. The He family was going downhill. In recent years, not only did they side with the wrong people, but they also relied on the fact that they were veteran revolutionaries and put on airs everywhere. None of their descendants were capable.

If it wasn’t that the He family was incapable, would Old He still keep his divorced niece from getting married until now? Wasn’t he just waiting for him to nod in agreement so that they could interact more?

No matter how noble Old He put it, he just wanted to take advantage of the Zhai family to pull the He family up the ranks. It was that simple.

Old He became utilitarian. He was scheming for this even though they were old friends. Friends were to stay if they got along well but free to leave if they didn’t. Since Old He had such thoughts, Zhai Yaohui didn’t think that there was any issue in distancing themselves from the He family. “Just forget about this matter after listening to it. You don’t have to care too much. Old He has long changed.”

Old He didn’t overstep his boundaries before, so he couldn’t be bothered with him. He didn’t expect Old He to really think that they had a solid friendship and that he wouldn’t mind no matter what he did. In the face of a capricious old friend whom he wasn’t so close to anymore, Zhai Yaohui couldn’t be bothered to explain so much. He would only use practical actions to tell Old He that the relationship between the two of them wasn’t as close as he thought.

“Then, let’s not send an invite to the He family for Zhai Sheng’s wedding this time. Based on his call today, I feel that he will definitely be unhappy if he attends the wedding, so why bother? Not inviting him is good for both him and our family.” A wedding was a joyous occasion. She was afraid that Old He couldn’t control his mouth and would spout nonsense in front of Qiao Nan.

It wasn’t easy for their family to have a daughter-in-law like Qiao Nan. How was an outsider as important as their daughter-in-law? Miao Jing was particularly clear about this point. Furthermore, Miao Jing had long detected that Zhai Yaohui was interacting lesser with Old He. He rarely mentioned Old He as a friend.

She understood her own man. Based on Zhai Yaohui’s attitude, Miao Jing knew that their family’s relationship with the He family was not as good as before. Who would have thought that Old He didn’t realize this and even pretended to be a big bad wolf? How ridiculous.

“I’ll leave it to you.” Zhai Yaohui didn’t have an opinion on these matters and let Miao Jing make the decision.

After glancing at Miao Jing, Zhai Yaohui suddenly remembered how it was a few decades ago when he was going to marry her. Back then, a lot of people had looked at Miao Jing the same way as they had at Qiao Nan today, right?

Seeing that Jiajia had finished half the soup dumplings, Miao Jing hurriedly raised her voice and gave a reminder. “Jiajia, that’s enough. We are going to have dinner in half an hour. If you are full from soup dumplings now, you won’t be able to have dinner and will wake up hungry late at night.”

“Got it, grandma.” Jiajia stopped quickly. She knew that her grandparents had already finished their discussion. “Grandma, why isn’t my mother back yet?” Ever since she lived in her grandma’s house, she realized that her mother was so busy. She was even busier than when she was back at that house.

“I don’t know what your mother has been busy with recently either. However, she didn’t give me a call. I believe that she should be back for dinner soon.” Miao Jing felt that ever since the divorce, Zhai Hua had really grown up. She could worry less about her. “Oh, right. Old Zhai, who did you say had shared our family matters with Old He?”

Miao Jing hated Old He for being a busybody and not treating himself as an outsider at all, but she hated the person who publicized the Zhai family’s personal matters even more. They were going to stop their interaction with the He family. As for the person who spouted nonsense, they had to look at the situation and give them a lesson.

Zhai Yaohui looked slightly embarrassed.

Except for that mother-daughter pair, Miao Jing couldn’t think of a third person who could make Zhai Yaohui reveal such an unnatural expression in front of her. Miao Jing snorted coldly. “So, it’s them.”

Jiajia blinked. Who was it? Why didn’t grandma finish her words? She didn’t understand. Who was the one who had publicized uncle’s and Auntie Qiao’s marriage in advance? This person even made up rumors about Auntie Qiao. They were obviously full of schemes.

Zhai Yaohui felt extremely helpless. “Don’t talk nonsense in front of Jiajia. This happened so many years ago. Haven’t I already explained it to you clearly?” Everything was just a misunderstanding. He didn’t like Qi Minlan at all. He only had Miao Miao in his heart.

Zhai Yaohui had no choice but to foot the bill for his negligence when he was young.

“Talk is cheap. That mother-daughter pair will keep finding our family trouble. Are you going to take action only when they really do something and Qiao Nan no longer dares to marry Zhai Sheng?” It turned out that the mother-daughter pair was still very important in Old Zhai’s heart. Could it be more important than their son’s happiness for the rest of his life?!

Upon mentioning Qi Minlan and her daughter, Miao Jing was like an ignited firecracker. Zhai Sheng’s first marriage was ruined in the hands of these two women. If there was going to be a second time, not only would Miao Jing find Qi Minlan and her daughter to settle scores, but she would also fight it out with Zhai Yaohui.

If not for Zhai Yaohui, would Zhai Sheng not only have to be forced into marrying someone he didn’t like in his first marriage but also be made a cuckold out of?

In short, if Qi Minlan and her daughter did anything that resulted in Zhai Sheng having any losses, the person who was most responsible would be Zhai Yaohui.

Jiajia, who saw her grandma angry for the first time and couldn’t tell who the ‘she’ was after listening to their conversation, was shocked. She didn’t know if she should do some persuasion now. However, who should she persuade? Her grandpa? She didn’t even know what had happened. How was she going to persuade him? Her grandma? She was so sad. It was obvious she was the one being bullied.

Just when Jiajia was in a dilemma, Zhai Hua returned. It could be said that she rescued Jiajia. “Okay, that’s all eight hundred years ago. The two of you have the cheek to argue about this in front of Jiajia. Didn’t you see that she’s confused by the two of you? Mom, Dad did make a mistake when he was young. His mind was unclear, and he couldn’t differentiate family from outsiders.”

After being scolded by his daughter, Zhai Yaohui looked at Zhai Hua warningly: You’re here to persuade her, not add fuel to the flames. Know your place well.

Zhai Hua smiled. “However, don’t you know how Dad is like? Qi Minlan’s an old hag. Qiu Chenxi is a divorced woman. Both of them are detestable. However, who asked them to be women, and women with nothing at that?”
