Chapter 691 The Cross Fire Between the Men

Shi Peng, who was having fragrant rice in his mouth while picking up and gulping in hot and piping dishes expressed that, twenty years ago, even Comrade Deng (1. Deng Xiaoping was a Chinese politician who was the paramount leader of the People's Republic of China from 1978 until his retirement in 1989.) said that all cats that catch rats are good regardless of the species.

Childish?

How was this childish? He was happy doing this!

"Yes, very fortunate." Qiao Dongliang first laughed happily, then at the sight of Zhai Sheng, he was reminded that Zhai Sheng would kidnap his daughter to the Zhai family one day. In fact, Zhai Sheng had been thinking of doing just that all the time. Qiao Dongliang could not bring himself to feel happy at the thought of this.

"Dad, have your meal." Sensing the strong cross fire between the few old and young men, Qiao Nan pretended to feign ignorance.

She peeped at Shi Qing, who had shrunk her neck and moved to one side to have her meal abidingly. Qiao Nan then glared at her. She expected better from Shi Qing. Knowing that these few men were not obedient and liked to bicker, why couldn't she come and help?

Shi Qing smiled in embarrassment. Uncle Qiao was her elder; she could not intervene.

Her father was also her elder. She would be thankful if her father were to intervene less in her matters. When was it her turn to take her father in hand?

As for Brother Zhai, she had never poked her nose into his affairs.

Since she could not convince any of these three men, she might as well move aside and finished her meal. That was the most practical thing to do.

Once Shi Qing surrendered, Qiao Nan was the only one left who could mediate the atmosphere between the three men.

"Eat." Qiao Dongliang could choose not to give Zhai Sheng face, but he could not do the same to his daughter.

As he took the bowl of rice from Qiao Nan, Qiao Dongliang deliberately sat beside Qiao Nan to increase the distance between Zhai Sheng and her.

The two had been in a relationship for two years. He could not stop them, and neither could he persuade them not to do so.

Nevertheless, before the Zhai family accepted Nan Nan, he had to hold them back. At the very least, he must not let Nan Nan be taken advantage of by Zhai Sheng.

They were both men. Qiao Dongliang thus understood Zhai Sheng more than Qiao Nan did. One had to dote on his own daughter. He had to protect Nan Nan well.

At the sight of this, Zhai Sheng's face turned black while Shi Peng gloated and smiled.

Zhai Sheng shot a look at Shi Peng. He knew well in his heart the evil humor of his master. He thus pretended to remind a certain someone unintentionally. "Qing Qing, I heard that someone is wooing you in the school recently? Your grades are not a problem usually. You have to grab the opportunity in terms of relationship."

Shi Qing was pretty and good in her studies. After getting to know Qiao Nan well, she had also enthusiastically started to blend in with the student life in Ping Cheng High School. Of course, it was impossible that no one would be wooing Shi Qing currently.

"..." Shi Qing, who had been silently eating her meal and whose name was suddenly called, stared with her pair of innocent eyes. She did not understand why she had been 'arrowed'.

"Qing Qing?" Shi Peng was quite surprised. "Is there such a matter? Someone is wooing you?"

"Is there?" Shi Qing straightened her neck and questioned back.
