1052 Came at the Right Time
"Nan Nan, why don't you stay for another night?" On the second day, after finishing her breakfast, Qiao Nan expressed that she hoped Zhai Hua could send her home. Miao Jing could not bear to leave Qiao Nan."Anyway, it is just a few days. It makes no difference whether you go back or not."
It was not because of other reasons. Early in the morning, Miao Jing had received some news and she was not willing to let Qiao Nan go home.
She could not understand Qiao Dongliang's behavior. She also heard rumors from the outside. She was not used to it and she could not accept them.
Other people were unaware but Miao Jing was. Many years ago, Qiao Dongliang divorced Ding Jiayi because he could not continue to live with the latter. Miao Jing knew for a fact that the divorce did not have anything to do with Qiao Nan.
Miao Jing had heard Qiao Nan telling Qiao Dongliang more than once that he had to consider very carefully about his intention of getting a divorce. Qiao Dongliang could completely put aside Qiao Nan and decide whether he would like to continue with the marriage based on his thoughts and feelings.
At that time, Miao Jing felt that Qiao Nan was too softhearted. She had been cornered so badly by her biological mother, yet she did not sow discord. Instead, she spared so much consideration in all areas for her parents.
If it were other children, out of anger for a biological mother like Ding Jiayi, they could not wait for their parents to divorce as soon as possible. If nothing were to happen, they would also create some issues so that the biological father would agree to divorce earlier.
However, Qiao Nan did not do that. She even persuaded and stopped Qiao Dongliang when he first spoke about divorce.
At that time, Miao Jing felt that Qiao Nan's kindness was unnecessary. It was too wasteful on Ding Jiayi.
However, today, Miao Jing discovered that there was a need to do so!
This was not just the problem of being kind to Ding Jiayi. Who would have known that Qiao Dongliang, a grown-up man, would be so fickle-minded?
When they divorced, the people in the quad said that the couple's relationship was broken. They had divorced as they really could not live with each other for the rest of their lives.
Yesterday, the day before the Lunar New Year's eve, Ding Jiayi brought Qiao Zijin back to look for Qiao Dongliang. They were not chased out. Last night, the mother-daughter pair did not even go home.
Undoubtedly, Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin had stayed in Qiao Dongliang's house last night. Wasn't this going to lead to a revival of the marriage?
As such, the rumors in the quad began to change.
Someone was spreading that Qiao Dongliang insisted to divorce Ding Jiayi previously all because he wanted to protect Qiao Nan.
Very soon, Qian Nan would be married to Zhai Sheng and become part of the Zhai family. Qiao Dongliang felt that he had completed his mission and was prepared to lead his own life. As such, he had paired up with Ding Jiayi again and they were going to patch up.
At the thought of all these, Miao Jing felt that this Lunar New Year should be a happy one but she was forced to be angry.
Qiao Dongliang was not much better than Ding Jiayi!
People of the same family had similar personalities and temper. This saying was true. There must be a reason that these two individuals could become a couple.
Qiao Nan was drinking her tea calmly."Mom, don't need to worry about me. Sister Zhai Hua has already told me the situation." Sister Zhai Hua had very sharp ears. None of the news in the quad could escape her ears.
Miao Jing looked at Zhai Hua unhappily. Zhai Hua shrugged her shoulders innocently. The truth was a little hurting. Nevertheless, she did that so that Qiao Nan would be prepared, lest she be dealt with a great below when she saw it herself.
Furthermore, in her view, Qiao Nan was very strong and resilient. She was not any weaker than the cockroaches in her house.
It was better to find out the temperament of her family members in case Qiao Nan made things difficult for herself in the future. Just take her case as an example. After she knew what kind of scum Wei De was, she was able to kick him away viciously and with all her might.
Old Master Zhai said without any haste, "No issue. When you come to our house, everything will be alright." He did not have the habit of looking down at poor in-laws, but if the other party was outrageous, there was no need to have such a close relationship with them.
Zhai Yaohui was calmly flipping through his newspapers."During our last trip to the capital in August, the leaders have already intended to let us go over. I estimate that Zhai Sheng will be transferred over by this coming year."
In other words, after the Lunar New Year, the Zhai family would change their place of stay, after their daughter-in-law was married into the family.
When the time came, the Qiao family of three could mix around as much as they wished. That would be the trio's business.
"That's great!" Zhai Hua slammed the table."Is it time to go to the capital?" Many years ago, the old master was considered to have retired at the peak of his career. Although he was very qualified to remain in the capital, he had thought of ways to return to Ping Cheng. Thereafter, he passed the baton to his son and went to live in seclusion in the countryside with his group of former veteran revolutionaries.
Zhai Hua knew that Old Master Zhai was also someone ambitious. His exterior appearance was burly but his heart was not. He seemed to be impatient but he actually had very clear plans and thoughts in his mind.
When she was still a child, Zhai Hua remembered that Old Master Zhai had told her before that the time was not ripe yet. However, they would still have to go back one day.
When she heard the old master say this today, Zhai Hua knew that it was time for the Zhai family to 'go back'.
"It is time, " the old master said with certainty.
Zhai Hua propped up her legs."This really came at the right time."
For the sake of money and power, Wei De had been dauntless and persistent despite multiple setbacks. He was as annoying as a fly.
Moreover, after the Lunar New Year, Qiao Nan, her sister-in-law, would be studying in the capital.
If the Zhai family had gone to the capital, in the future, Qiao Nan did not need to stay up all night to travel back to Ping Cheng during the holidays. It was not a problem for Qiao Nan to go home every day then!
Upon hearing the plans of the Zhai family, Qiao Nan was a little surprised. On the other, she also felt that this was expected.
After all, in her previous life, after the Qiao family moved out of the quad, the Zhai family moved to the capital. They became prominent figures that the Qiao family would only see on the television occasionally.
A few days ago, Qiao Nan had been speechless that the Zhai family was very firm and insistent that she and Brother Zhai collect their marriage certificate in February.
The problem was that she would already be in school on the day of her birthday, the day she was eligible to collect the marriage certificate.
Qiao Nan felt that it was quite a joke for her birthday to fall on the twenty-eighth of February.
Most people knew that there were leap years, and there would be 29 February only in leap years.
Many people said that birthdays should never fall on the twenty-ninth of February as one could only celebrate their birthday once every four years then.
Coincidentally, Qiao Nan was born on the twenty-eighth of February. She could celebrate her birthday every year. However, the sorrowful thing was that Qiao Nan had never celebrated her birthday for two lifetimes.
Qiao Nan would be twenty years old this year.
"Qiao Nan, come. I'll send you home." Zhai Hua stood up. She would have to leave sooner or later, not to mention that Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin had already come back. It should not be an issue for her to send Qiao Nan back now.
"Grandpa, Dad, and Mom, I'm going back first." After Qiao Nan said goodbye to the elders of the Zhai family, she left.
"Aye, come again next time." When you were here again, there was no need to leave.
