Chapter 306: Quarrel between Father and Daughter“Will it affect my engagement with Brother Zhai?” Qiu Chenxi pursed her lips. “I seldom see Grandpa Zhai at the Zhai’s residence, but I have a feeling that Grandpa Zhai seems to dislike me. Why is that so?” She had spent so much time and effort to please Grandpa Zhai. Not even her own grandpa had ever been given as much time and concern.
If not for the fact that Grandpa Zhai was the grandfather of Brother Zhai, and that Brother Zhai was very filial to him, she would not have bothered herself with an old man.
Qiu Qin smiled meaningfully at her daughter’s question.
Although Old Master Zhai had retired since a long time ago and relinquished his authority at the Zhai’s residence to Zhai Yaohui, everyone in the Zhai family still held him in high esteem.
That was to say if Old Master Zhai disliked Chenxi, it would not merely affect the development between Zhai Sheng and Chenxi, but it would have a great impact instead.
“Mom?” Qiu Chenxi asked again when nobody gave her any reply. “Mom, will it have any influence?”
Qiu Qin leaned against the car seat and closed his eyes to rest. “Be it Old Master Zhai’s status in the Zhai family or Zhai Sheng’s respect for Old Master Zhai, his opinion will have a lot of impact on you. Chenxi, Zhai Sheng may be a good catch, but it will not be easy for you to marry him. Now that Old Master Zhai is back, I advise you to set your sights on others so as not to end up making futile efforts.”
“Dad, what are you talking about! Do you believe that I will tell Grandpa what you’ve said just now?!” Grandpa Zhai might call the shots in the Zhai family, but her own grandpa was not to be undermined in the Qiu family either.
In the Qiu family, other than herself, Old Master Qiu was the one who was most enthusiastic about her marrying Zhai Sheng.
“Chenxi, how could you speak to your dad in that way?” Qi Minlan gently pulled her daughter, reminding her to behave appropriately and not to use her grandpa against her father.
“I don’t mean it. It’s Dad who… Dad, I’ve liked Brother Zhai for so many years. In order to be deserving of such an outstanding person like Brother Zhai, I have spent a lot of effort to improve myself. Anyway, I will only marry Brother Zhai! Otherwise, I will never marry in this life!” Such an outstanding man belonged to Qiu Chenxi only.
“Are you getting married or not?” Qiu Qin glanced at Qiu Chenxi. “Chenxi, you are a young lady. You must have self-respect. You are different from… With your intelligence, you should be able to tell that Zhai Sheng’s attention is not on you. He was not at home when we reached, and when he returned, how was his attitude toward you? Even if you obtain the approval of Old Master Zhai, it is of no use. What you are doing now is putting the cart before the horse.”
Qiu Qin usually did not give any comment about his daughter’s affairs. Today, one look at Zhai Sheng’s expression, as a man, Qiu Qin could tell that Zhai Sheng was not interested in his daughter at all.
His daughter had lots of admirers. As long as they were willing, many outstanding young men would line up to marry his daughter.
“Chenxi, does Zhai Sheng not like you?” Qi Minlan was stunned. “I thought…” She had thought that her daughter was in the same situation as her back then—that everything was settled except for the approval of Old Master Zhai.
“Brother Zhai may not like me, but he doesn’t fancy others as well. You should know what kind of person Brother Zhai is. He doesn’t like anyone. He has his full attention on the army,” Qiu Chenxi said stubbornly.
