Chapter 161: Fate

"Nan Nan?" Qiao Dongliang was stunned. A few days ago, Brother Zhou had insisted on getting Nan Nan as his daughter-in-law. Today, Nan Nan seemed as if she knew Brother Zhou's son. Could it be that...

"I had to thank you for what happened last time." Nan Nan smiled in embarrassment. She did not know the name of the man who stood in front of her. She only knew that he was a soldier.

"It's... it's you?" Zhou Jun blushed. His attitude changed from being aggressive to being cautious. He felt so uneasy and conscious of himself. "Oh, I remembered. Someone in your family is sick, and he stays in this hospital as well."

"Yes." Qiao Nan nodded and put down her bag. She poured a bowl of terrapin soup that she prepared for today and brought it to Qiao Dongliang. "My dad was injured and had to stay in the hospital."

"Oh, Un-Uncle, how are you doing?" After knowing who Qiao Dongliang was, Zhou Jun gave a ninety-degree bow to Qiao Dongliang.

Qiao Dongliang was injured and his mobility was restricted. Otherwise, he would have been startled and jumped up at Zhou Jun's behavior. "Nan Nan, do you know Zhou Jun, the son of Brother Zhou?" He wanted Qiao Nan to explain to him what was going on.

"So you are his son." Qiao Nan was surprised. The world was very small.

"Nan Nan, you should address Brother Zhou as 'uncle'." Qiao Dongliang corrected Nan Nan. In the beginning, they were not as close to each other, hence it was alright to be less strict in the form of address. Now, it was inappropriate to be so casual in the form of address.

"Uncle Zhou."

"Oh, good girl." It would be all the better if Qiao Nan addressed him as 'father'. "Jun-er, are you acquainted with Nan Nan?" Zhou Bing had a devilish sparkle in his eyes. His wife was right about this.

Zhou Bing cast a look of admiration at his wife. His wife lifted her chin proudly. Zhou Jun was her son. She knew what kind of girls her son liked.

"Jun-er, how did you get to know Nan Nan? Didn't you spend all your time in the army?" Zhou Jun's mother was perplexed and found it strange. It was impossible for her son to get to know such a good lady like Nan Nan.

He stayed in the army all this while and he seldom came home. Nan Nan was still a student. The only place she frequented would be the school.

No matter how she thought about it, she could not figure out how they came to know each other.

"Emm... Brother Zhou helped me greatly in the past." Qiao Nan pondered for a while before replying. She found it embarrassing to say that Zhou Jun came to pass her the money at Zhai Sheng's orders.

"No, no, it was not me who helped her. I only passed her things on behalf of someone else." Zhou Jun blushed. He only went on errands for Zhai Sheng and did not help the young lady.

"But I still troubled you to make the trip."

"What is going on, Nan Nan?" Qiao Dongliang was clueless.

Nan Nan said that Zhou Jun had helped her, while Zhou Jun denied helping her. Both of them did not seem to be lying.

"Dad." Qiao Nan pondered for a while and leaned toward Qiao Dongliang's ear. "When you were sent to the hospital on that day, Brother Zhai had something on, so he asked Brother Zhou to pass me the money on his behalf."

"I see... Then, I would have to thank him for his help." Qiao Dongliang finally understood what was going on.

The Zhai family was an established and prominent family. Though Zhai Sheng was quite young, he had served in the army for years. He had achieved many military exploits and rose through the ranks without the help of his family.
