Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief - Chapter 1118

Chapter 1118: The Tian Family Was Here

“The English club did not have enough manpower and had a difficult time, but Vice President Xu was able to persist and make it a success. If she is working for a company, Vice President Xu will definitely put in double the effort.”

“I see.” Zhai Hua gripped the steering wheel and turned a corner. “If that is the case, accepting this will not be taking advantage of others. If it weren’t for you, the two of them would not be able to meet. You are their bridge. By the way, who is Gao Yan? I have no idea that you know of any people in the capital.”

“He used to be in Ping Cheng, and he is a ‘close friend’ of my roommate in high school.” Qiao Nan emphasized the two words ‘close friend’, and Zhai Hua understood it right away.

“I see. Isn’t his close friend in Ping Cheng? Why did he start a business in Beijing? Did they break up?”

Qiao Nan shook her head. “I made a call to Fang Fang during Lunar New Year. Fang Fang said that her father has been transferred to the capital.” It seemed that everyone was coming to the capital.

“Once Uncle Fang comes to work in the capital, I feel that there is a high possibility that Fang Fang will come to the capital after she graduates. Gao Yan must have known that Uncle Fang will be transferred to the capital. Therefore, he decided to start a business and settled down in the capital.”

Of course, it would be another three years before Fang Fang graduated.

By then, one could tell whether Gao Yan was successful or not.

If Gao Yan’s company established a foothold in the capital, Fang Fang would be the mistress of the company in the future.

Zhai Hua felt jealous. “Are children nowadays so mature for their age?”

Zhai Hua felt depressed.

It was rare that she was attracted to a man, yet her boyfriend was an ugly duckling man. Why was it that the childhood sweetheart of Qiao Nan’s classmate was so hardworking? Besides skipping levels in the university, he had already made plans for their future by starting a business in the capital.

Compared to Gao Yan, Wei De was horrible.

Gao Yan did not rely on anyone but started from scratch to set up his business.

He had just joined the workforce, whereas Wei De was considered as a veteran soldier who had spent ten years in the army. But even so, Wei De could not match up to Gao Yan at all. Zhai Hua felt dejected, but on the other hand, she was relieved that she had left that man.

“Why are you here to pick me up today? I have told Mom that I have more schoolwork during the weekdays and I would stay at my master’s house.” Qiao Nan remembered that she had homework to do.

Zhai Hua pulled a long face. “There are guests at home. Mom wants you to host them and to gain knowledge and experience.”

“Guests?” There was a glimmer in Qiao Nan’s eyes. She noticed the sulky expression on Zhai Hua’s face. “You seem to dislike the guests. Let me guess… The surname of the guests must be Tian, no?”

“Tsk…” Zhai Hua’s Land Rover performed a drift turn.

Thankfully, today was a working day instead of a public holiday, and it was neither the morning peak nor the evening peak hours. Otherwise, Zhai Hua would definitely end up in an accident.

Qiao Nan turned pale in fright. “Sister Zhai Hua, I am in the car. Don’t give me a scare. I want to live to a ripe old age.” She had just married Brother Zhai, and they had yet to have a child!

“It’s my mistake, a minor mistake.” Zhai Hua was startled as well. She heard honking sounds coming from the back. After releasing the brake and the clutch, she stepped on the accelerator to get moving. “W-why do you think that it is the Tian family who is here?”

“The Tian family is the only family that I heard of in the capital.” Qiao Nan held on to the armrest. She was worried that Zhai Hua would take a drift turn for a second time and her second chance at life might just end when she was only twenty-one years old. “Is the Tian family really here? Dongza?”

Qiao Nan was still reeling from the shock. She raised her voice and addressed Dongzi as Dongza.

Zhai Hua smiled dryly. “Yes, it is indeed the ‘young lady’ from the Tian family.”

“Isn’t he your ‘daughter-in-law’?” Qiao Nan replied without thinking. “Wait a minute. Do you mean that after not keeping contact for more than twenty years, Dongzi is still as effeminate as your impression of him back then?”

“He is a man, yet he is so fair. He must be sick,” Zhai Hua replied indignantly. “I feel that he is fairer than before. How can a man be fairer than a woman? Do you think he can be considered as a man?”

“Black and white make a perfect match, so do men and women.” Qiao Nan teased Zhai Hua with a line from the advertisement. The only difference was that Zhai Hua was the person with the darker complexion, while Tian Dong had the fairer complexion. It was indeed funny.

Qiao Nan noticed that Zhai Hua looked sulkier than before. She hurried to console her. “Sister Zhai Hua, don’t be angry. You may not be fair, but you have a healthy tan. Those who know to appreciate you will find it to be very sexy. If the other party rejects you because of your complexion, it will mean that he has poor judgment. It is his loss.”

She was not consoling her. In fact, there were many tanned beauties in the future.

Zhai Hua pulled a long face, not believing Qiao Nan’s words.

She did not mind that her boyfriend was fairer than her. It was just that she despised Tian Dong for being so fair. He was a man, yet his complexion was too fair.

She remembered back when she was being mischievous and the old master could not take her in hand, he would compare her to Tian Dong, saying that Tian Dong was well-behaved and fair. Zhai Hua could not help but boil with anger.

As the most mischievous girl in the quad, Zhai Hua felt that she just could not get along with the best-behaved boy in the quad!

“Is Nan Nan back?” Miao Jing had a bright smile on her face as soon as she heard that Nan Nan was back. Her tone was gentle and affectionate.

The Tian family could tell from Miao Jing’s attitude that the Zhai family was as the rumor had said—they were very satisfied with Qiao Nan.

“Dad, Mom.” Qiao Nan greeted her family before she shifted her gaze to the guests.

“Hey, what’s with all these foodstuffs? Hua Hua, did you buy them?” Miao Jing was surprised at the dried foodstuffs that her daughter carried with her. “Hua Hua, I have to praise you for being so hospitable.”

This was the first time that her daughter went grocery shopping. Miao Jing was glad that her daughter seemed to be satisfied with Dongzi.

Zhai Hua put down the bags and wiped her oily palms with a cloth. “Mom, don’t misunderstand. These bags are not mine. They’re given to Qiao Nan by her senior.”

“A gift?” Miao Jing’s demeanor changed. She felt the need to change the topic.

Zhai Hua, who finished wiping her hands, did not sense Miao Jing’s reluctance to continue the topic. She carried on to explain. “Qiao Nan is very popular in school. She performed very well in school. I also feel like going back to university.”

If she knew a few more of those generous and friendly seniors, she would have lots to eat and drink when she was in school. There would be meat dishes for every meal. It was so much better than her days as a soldier in the army.

Miao Jing motioned for her daughter and daughter-in-law to sit by her side before she made the introductions for Qiao Nan. “Nan Nan, this is Uncle Tian and Auntie Tian. This is Dongzi. He grew up together with Zhai Hua.”

Qiao Nan could finally take a close look at the Tian family with Miao Jing’s introduction.
