Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief - Chapter 1113

Chapter 1113: Anyway, I Don’t Want It

“Moreover, my arms and bones are already so old. If the house that you buy is located in a poor district, I will feel tortured. The house that I gave you is so good!”

There was a great difference between houses.

“Master, are you kidding me?” Qiao Nan refused to concede defeat. “We still have to rely on our two legs when we leave the house now. Given the rate that our country is developing, every household will have a four-wheeled car in a few years. That’s for sure. Regardless of the location of my house, I won’t take too much time driving you to wherever you want to go with a four-wheeled car.”

Ah, yes. Shouldn’t she take a driving license in this lifetime?

“You’re such a bad kid. Why can’t you understand me no matter how much I say? A house is such a good thing. Many people yearn for it but can’t get it. I am giving it to you, yet you are giving so many excuses to decline it. Aren’t you silly?”

Lin Yuankang was feeling anxious. He felt that Qiao Nan was really silly. This was such a good matter that others could not wait to encounter, but Qiao Nan opted to refuse it. He was on pins and needles.

Qiao Nan was very composed and resolute. “Precisely. This is such a good thing and it is too valuable. That is why I don’t want it. You’re my master and I am your disciple. I should be the one being filial to you. There is no reason for me to take advantage of you all the time. Master, let’s not talk about this anymore. I won’t take this house. Regarding the situation that you have reflected to me, I can only say that I will work hard to earn money and try my best to find a house in a better location. When you move over, I will drive you to wherever you want to go.”

He should not be picky then.

Without debating further with Lin Yuankang and having made herself clear, Qiao Nan hung up the phone call in a domineering manner.

“This little disciple!” Lin Yuankang was both angry and amused. “I can’t have my way with her. She is so inflexible and stubborn.” The more she behaved in this way, the more his heart ached for her.

People had sent a huge bargain to her, yet she refused to take advantage of it and even insisted on returning it. She was such an honest child. Who would not feel for her?

“I have told you so,” Shi Peng, who was keeping Lin Yuankang company in a game of chess, said nonchalantly. “This child is not ambitious. She is also very sincere. She won’t do or accept this kind of thing. However, you don’t need to worry. A child like this is very rare. Heaven will treat her well and make her life better.”

Although Shi Peng had already guessed the answer, he was also greatly affected when he personally heard Qiao Nan make a call, declining Elder Lin’s expensive gift in such a resolute manner.

This was a small quad in the capital. This was not something that a typical person could bring themselves to reject.

Didn’t Qiao Nan know the value of this house?

Wrong. It was because Qiao Nan knew the value of the house too well. That was why she refused to accept it.

“Elder Lin, drink some tea.” Feng Cheng was very good-tempered in front of Lin Yuankang. She was very gentle and obedient, like a little daughter-in-law.

Shi Peng was having a game of chess with Elder Lin. Feng Cheng was diligent in pouring tea and serving fruits and stuff for them.

As such, Feng Chen heard every word of Qiao Nan when she declined Elder Lin’s house.

It was also because of this that Feng Cheng felt overwhelmed and unsettled at heart for a long time.

This was a house located in the capital!!!

Feng Cheng had looked down on Qiao Nan in the past. She felt that Qiao Nan did not have a good family background. Hence, Feng Cheng felt that Qiao Nan was good to Shi Qing as she harbored ill intentions and wished to take advantage of the latter.

The problem was… Feng Cheng knew for certain that she would not decline a house located at such a good location in the capital. Furthermore, there was no bribery in question as this was just a gift between family members.

The location of the house that Elder Lin was giving was too good and tempting!

This was a house that she was envious of and yearned after, yet Qiao Nan rejected it resolutely without even thinking. Feng Cheng almost wanted to ask Qiao Nan how she felt when she rejected it. After she rejected it, did she feel as if her heart was bleeding?

Qiao Nan declined Elder Lin’s house in the capital without lifting an eyebrow.

When she thought of her biased opinions toward Qiao Nan in the past, Feng Cheng felt that she was slapping herself in the face.

The Feng family did not guard against Qiao Nan. No matter how well Qiao Nan pleased Shi Qing, Shi Qing certainly could not provide Qiao Nan any benefit that would be better than this house gifted by Elder Lin.

“Treat her well? If I don’t treat her well, how will heaven treat Nan Nan well?” Elder Lin answered unhappily. “Those few people in the Qiao family are now mixing around with the Chen family. They’re not afraid of death.”

If not for Qiao Nan, Lin Yuankang was not even willing to take a few more glances at a family like that of Chen Jun. This was so even if Father Chen really became the police commissioner of the headquarters in Ping Cheng.

However, Lin Yuankang had tried to gain more understanding of the Chen family because of Qiao Nan.

“The only ones who are not afraid of death are Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin.” Shi Peng was very conscientious when he was playing chess. “Fortunately, Qiao Nan is already married to Zhai Sheng. The Qiao family can’t seek trouble even if they have any problems. At most, they will just keep Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin alive. As for that Chen family, we will leave it to heaven.”

Lin Yuankang sighed. He threw away the pawn in his hands. “Not playing anymore. Qiao Nan has gone to the capital. It’s also quite good that she comes back less often to this place.”

It was just that he would be lonely in the future. He did not know how many times he could see his little disciple in a year.

There was a flash in Shi Peng’s eyes as he smiled. “Elder Lin, why don’t you go to the capital for retirement? You have more than one house in the capital.”

Qiao Nan was not willing to accept that house. However, whether Elder Lin was willing to take it back was a separate issue.

Lin Yuankang looked sideways at Shi Peng. “I have already said so. Besides that silly disciple of mine, will you be so kind as to sacrifice your time to play chess with me? What tricks do you have in mind?”

He was asking him to return to the capital for retirement. Would he be able to stay retired if he were to return to the capital?

“Elder Lin, the situation of the country is improving day by day. Much of the credit goes to you and your batch of veteran revolutionaries. You should know the situation at the central government. You have to watch it and guard the fruits of your labor,” Shi Peng said in a worried manner.

Elder Lin’s face turned black. “Troublesome!” He had already retired. It should be the youngster’s world now. The country should be guarded by these youngsters. Why did he, this old man, have to intervene so much? “If you are old and yet not dead, you’re a bandit. I don’t want to be a bandit. I will draw hate from others.”

“Qiao Nan is in the capital. If you don’t follow her, aren’t you afraid that she will be bullied? The Zhai family has a little status but they are also considered newbies in the capital. If they encounter anything, the Zhai family may not be able to protect Qiao Nan fully. You’re different. With you as Qiao Nan’s backing, she won’t be bullied by anyone.”

Once these words came out of Shi Peng’s mouth, Elder Lin could not help stretching out his leg to kick Shi Peng. “Scram, you bull. Tell me. Who else is plotting against me?”

In fact, someone in the central government had wanted to invite Elder Lin to come out of retirement to keep a watch on the situation. However, Elder Lin had rejected them all.
