Zhai Yaohui treated Qiao Nan as part of the Zhai family.
They were one family. Qiao Nan had to help out when the Zhai family was in need of help. Now that Qiao Nan was in trouble, the Zhai family could not sit by, doing anything, and allowed her to be bullied.
Zhai Yaohui sneered at the thought of the Feng family in the capital. It seemed that as the Zhai family seldom visited the capital, many of them had forgotten that the Zhai family was like a tiger with sharp claws.
They thought that since the Zhai family was not in the capital, they could go overboard and create havoc under the Zhai family's nose. All of them had to pay for their recklessness and ignorance.
Now that the Feng family had provoked the Zhai family, there was no way that they could escape from the Zhai family's wrath. It was no use even if they got Shi Peng to mediate.
The Zhai family would do anything to protect their calf!
Qiao Nan had no idea that Chief Zhai and Miao Jing had arrived in the capital ahead of Zhai Sheng. By the time she received news of it, her future father-in-law was already right in front of her.
Qiao Nan was reading in the library when a classmate found her and told her that someone was looking for her. Qiao Nan was still puzzled over who would be looking for her at this time.
W
Those who wanted to look for her would usually come straight to find her.
Qiao Nan, who was clueless, went to take a look. She had a shock when she saw her visitor."C-chief Zhai?" Brother Zhai did not tell her that Chief Zhai would be in the capital.
"Chief Zhai?" Zhai Yaohui frowned slightly."It has only been a month and you don't recognize me anymore?"
"Dad..." Qiao Nan blushed, looking guilty. Qiao Nan changed her form of address on the day she was engaged. However, since she stayed far apart from the Zhai family and she wanted to differentiate between her father-in-law and her biological father, she had reverted to her previous form of address gradually.
Qiao Nan was still in shock over seeing Zhai Yaohui right in front of her today. She had yet to come back to her senses and thus used her previous form of address."Dad, are you here by yourself? Where is M-mom?"
Since Qiao Nan had already addressed him as her father, she gave up on being shy and addressed Miao Jing as her mother."I thought that you would only come to the capital half a month later." If Brother Zhai was here, he would have come to see her.
"Your mom has a slight cold. Do you want to pay her a visit?" This was the reason why Zhai Yaohui came to Peking University to fetch his daughter-in-law.
Miao Jing was sick. It was right for Zhai Yaohui to take care of her. However, Zhai Yaohui was the chief. Now that he was in the capital, he had a lot of appointments and social meetings to attend to.
Zhai Yaohui did not have much time to take care of Miao Jing and he would not feel reassured if someone else took care of Miao Jing. Qiao Nan was the best candidate for this task.
"Mom has caught a cold? Is it serious? Has she been to the hospital?" Qiao Nan was very close to Miao Jing. Even if she was not her mother-in-law, Qiao Nan was still very concerned that Miao Jing was sick. Moreover, she was her close relative now.
Zhai Yaohui was very satisfied with the look of concern on Qiao Nan's face. As long as she cared very much for them, it was alright that she was not used to the intimate form of address."She has been to the hospital. She has a slight fever. She has a saline drip in the hospital. Her fever has subsided, but she is still feeling weak. I may have to make trips outside. I have social meetings to attend to. Do you have any lessons today? If not..."
"I will take care of Mom. I have no classes today. I am only doing some self-study in the library." Qiao Nan had no classes today. But since today was a weekday, Qiao Nan was to concentrate on her studies as per her schedule.
If Qiao Nan did not have classes during the weekdays, she would be in the library the whole day.
Zhai Yaohui relaxed slightly, pleased with what he heard.
Zhai Yaohui knew that Qiao Nan did not have any classes today.
Before he came to Peking University, he had been to the Lin family's house. He saw Shi Qing poring over the materials that Zhai Sheng gave her.
Once Shi Qing knew that he was here for Qiao Nan, she checked Qiao Nan's timetable without another word.
If not for Shi Qing, Zhai Yaohui might not go to the library to look for Qiao Nan and be able to spot her right away."Qiao Nan, studies may be important, but you must remember that good health is a prerequisite for work. A strong and healthy body will bring you further. Don't forget to exercise when you are working hard."
His daughter-in-law came to Peking University by herself at a young age. She had no elders to discipline her.
Under such a situation, Qiao Nan had self-awareness and self-discipline to arrange her time efficiently. She did not indulge in herself or spend time fooling around.
Zhai Yaohui was very glad about that.
He highly appreciated people who were very self-disciplined.
If he had a grandson in the future, there was no need for him to be worried. He believed that Qiao Nan would definitely teach him well. He would be disciplined as if he was in the army.
Actually, Zhai Yaohui had another concern which Qiao Nan did not know of.
Zhai Yaohui and Qi Minlan were childhood sweethearts. When they were playing around at a young age, Qi Minlan always acted as Zhai Yaohui's bride and said that she wanted to marry him.
Zhai Yaohui had a good impression of Qi Minlan. He was not averse to what she said.
Instead of marrying someone that he was unfamiliar with, it was a good idea to marry a younger female friend who grew up with him.
However, ever since Qi Minlan started school, especially when she advanced to higher levels, she became a different person.
Qi Minlan used to be simple and innocent. However, when she was in high school, she was like a social butterfly. Her life was filled with a lot of social activities.
Initially, Zhai Yaohui felt that Qi Minlan was still young and liked to have fun. However, when Qi Minlan told her classmates that Zhai Yaohui was only her elder brother, Zhai Yaohui was certain that Qi Minlan had had too much fun at school and had changed.
Qi Minlan was a real-life example. Zhai Yaohui could not help but be worried about Qiao Nan.
But from today onward, Zhai Yaohui knew that he could be totally reassured.
"Get in the car."
"Sure." Qiao Nan was dumbfounded at the Land Rover car that was parked at the entrance of Peking University. It was the legendary Land Rover car. Qiao Nan was baffled that Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing would drive the Land Rover all the way to the capital. It was impossible for them to borrow the car.
There were three other people who were dumbstruck as well.
Lü Yan blinked furiously."That car seems to be different from the cars that we usually see. What car is that? It is very impressive."
Yu Xiaoxiao knitted her brows."I am not too sure. I am not into this." What Qiao Nan did today was beyond one's imagination.
