Chapter 471: It Is Only Right to Support Your Wife Financially

At the thought of Zhai Sheng’s situation and family background, Qiao Dongliang felt that Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan’s relationship was too unreal. “Nan Nan, I heard from the neighbors that there’s an occasion whereby a girl came to our house and created a fuss. She said that you’ve snatched her boyfriend. What happened?”

As it was nearing Qiao Nan’s examination period previously, Qiao Dongliang endured and dared not question much despite knowing this matter. He was afraid that Qiao Nan would be distracted. Nevertheless, he no longer needed to have such consideration today.

“Dad, this matter is rather complicated. I can’t explain to you clearly in such a short time. That woman was referring to Brother Zhai, but Brother Zhai was not related to her in any way. As for the fiancée and fiancé that she mentioned, they were also not true. That day, Chief Zhai and Auntie Miao also came here to clarify the matter with that woman. It has got nothing to do with me.”

“I did hear a little about that.” Otherwise, he would not have endured until today to ask about it. “Nan Nan, how do the other family members of the Zhai family feel about the matter between Zhai Sheng and you?”

“Auntie Miao does not know yet, but she seems to have some objections about someone like me.”

“True enough…” It was his fault. As a father, he could not provide Nan Nan with a good life and this had affected her life. She had to be shunned by others when looking for a marriage partner.

“Chief Zhai knew about us. He was not pleased, but he did not comment too much about it.” Chief Zhai was basically adopting a wait-and-see attitude.

Qiao Dongliang jumped in shock. “Chief Zhai knew about the two of you and didn’t ask you to break up?” How could that be?!

“Nan Nan, don’t sweet-talk me. I’ve long guessed that their family would disagree. I just didn’t want you to be too hard on yourself. Hence, I didn’t want you to be together with Zhai Sheng. Zhai Sheng is outstanding, too outstanding. Our family is not compatible with him.”

“Dad, I really didn’t lie to you. Think about it yourself. If Chief Zhai really wants Brother Zhai and me to break up, he can come and look for you. It’s more direct and straightforward that way. Did he look for you?”

Chief Zhai did request for Qiao Nan to break up with Brother Zhai that day but Qiao Nan refused to. Thereafter, Chief Zhai did not make any further attempt to do so, let alone take any concrete action.

Qiao Dongliang first nodded and then shook his head. “You’re right. Yes, Chief Zhai did not look for me. Nan Nan, what do you think he meant by this?” Madam Zhai was not agreeable, but was Chief Zhai agreeable?

Qiao Nan replied honestly. “I don’t know. Dad, don’t think too much. We will let nature takes its own course. There will always be a way to settle this matter. Right, Dad, I’ll give Brother Zhai a call, in case he gets people to send us things again without giving us any prior notice.”

The refrigerator was a big appliance. In another two years’ time, air conditioner and computer would become prevalent.

If Brother Zhai bought all of these items one by one, Auntie Miao would be able to guess their relationship without the need for anyone to tell her.

“…” Qiao Dongliang felt a little embarrassed. “Make the call. I’ll go out and do some marketing.”

Once Qiao Dongliang left, Qiao Nan gave Zhai Sheng a call.

“Hello, Nan Nan, have you finished your exams?” As soon as he received the call, Zhai Sheng guessed that Nan Nan was the caller. “Five days later, I have ten days of leave. I’ll be able to come back.”
