Chapter 341: Emboldened With the Backing of the Daughter-In-LawAfter that, Old Master Zhai made a move to attack and yelled loudly, “Checkmate!”
Zhai Hua was stunned. “How can you checkmate? That’s too fast. No, I shall take the original move. You must not checkmate.”
“No matter what, you won’t win against Grandpa.” Zhai Sheng took a glance at the game of chess that Zhai Hua had messed up and shook his head. “Come over and lend me a hand. After that, you can have Grandpa to play another round with you.”
“What is it?”
Zhai Hua, who was in utter defeat, put down the chess pieces and followed by Zhai Sheng’s side.
Zhai Hua might act like a child when she was with Old Master Zhai, but back in the army, she was a female officer. She was in charge of training female soldiers and was very awe-inspiring in the army.
However, Zhai Hua noticed that although she might have been very impressive in the army, she looked very pathetic whenever she was at home.
In fact, she was embarrassed that she lost to her grandpa. Hence, she was quick to agree to render assistance to Zhai Sheng.
What Zhai Hua did not know was that she had only just walked away when Old Master Zhai breathed a sigh of relief. At his age, he felt tiring to have a game of chess with his granddaughter who was not good at chess.
“What are you doing here?” Zhai Hua followed Zhai Sheng to the place where the family stored the food. “What? Are you so anxious to send some food to Nan Nan? Let me remind you. You must not let Mom find out. Otherwise, Mom’s impression of Nan Nan will only get worse. If you want to marry Nan Nan, you won’t be able to get Mom’s approval.”
On Lunar New Year’s Eve, Zhai Sheng did not stay at home but was with his wife-to-be. He only came back to the house at eight o’clock in the morning of the Lunar New Year’s Day.
Zhai Sheng was too rampant.
“Don’t worry. Mom may be the first person who will no longer pose a problem in our house.” Zhai Sheng picked the food that he wanted to give to Qiao Nan while grinning to himself.
“How is that possible?” Would her mother like girls like Nan Nan?
“Mom wants me to give some food to Nan Nan. According to my guess, after Mom went out today, she went to see Nan Nan and chatted with her.”
“Do you mean that the person who influences Mom is, in fact, Nan Nan? Are you serious? It can’t be such a coincidence. Back then when Ding Jiayi framed Nan Nan at our doorway, Mom was annoyed at Nan Nan. It has not been that long, so why would Mom accept Nan Nan who is of such family background? I don’t believe it!”
Had hell frozen over? It was too incredible that her mother would listen to Nan Nan’s advice and be influenced by her.
“Mom doesn’t know that the girl I like is Nan Nan.” Zhai Sheng might be happy but he was aware of the difficulties he faced as well.
His mother gave him two years. Zhai Sheng was very clear what his mother meant.
In the past year that he had known Qiao Nan, the actual time that he spent with Qiao Nan had only been around half a month’s time. This was the reason why Zhai Sheng often sent letters to ‘remind’ Qiao Nan not to start a relationship when she was too young.
He was worried that as he was not by Qiao Nan’s side, she would fall for those boys who chased after her.
Therefore, even though his mother had agreed, in fact, his mother was hoping that their relationship would not stand the test of time. In the two years’ time, when Nan Nan realized that Zhai Sheng, as a soldier, did not have much time to spend with her, she would be displeased or angry with him. Eventually, she might take the initiative to break up with him. His mother did not need to do anything and she would achieve her aim nonetheless.
