Chapter 924 Brother Zhai, I Am Not Petty
So as to speak, those whom her father-in-law were meeting were all senior leaders of the country.
At around seven o’clock, Qiao Nan gave Miao Jing another round of meal and medicine. Miao Jing then sat down and watched television while the food in her tummy was being digested. At around eight o’clock, Qiao Nan switched off the television directly and asked Miao Jing to return to bed to rest.
Although she was bossed around by a youngster, Miao Jing was not angry. Instead, she seemed quite pleased.
After covering Miao Jing with a thin blanket and placing a cup of plain water by her bedside, Qiao Nan felt more at ease. She then turned off the lights so that Miao Jing could turn in comfortably.
Miao Jing’s cold was still quite serious. In addition, due to the effect of the medicine, she fell asleep soon after.
Now, Miao Jing had fallen asleep. However, Qiao Nan did not have anything to do.
When Zhai Yaohui came to fetch Qiao Nan, she told Qiao Nan that he needed her help to take care of Miao Jing as the latter was unwell. As Qiao Nan was anxious, she did not bring any book along
Normally, during this time, Qiao Nan would be reading under the light. It was already so late. Qiao Nan could not possibly find a way to get a book.
Ring! Suddenly, the phone in the house rang in a hurried tone. It sounded extraordinary loud in the quiet small courtyard, taking Qiao Nan by surprise.
Miao Jing had finally managed to sleep and the sound of the phone ringing could awaken her. At the thought of this, Qiao Nan did not consider so much at that moment and just picked up the phone swiftly.
“Hello, is that Mom? Both of you have arrived in the capital for almost a day. Have you visited Nan Nan? How is Nan Nan now? Did the Feng family do anything foolish?” One could hear the anxiety and anger in that deep voice of Zhai Sheng
Braving the risk for fortune-people like the Feng family who were so full of themselves would definitely utilize all ways and means to achieve their aims.
If the Feng family was truly smart, Zhai Sheng would not need to worry for Qiao Nan. The ludicrous thing was that the Feng family yearned for instant success but had low emotional intelligence.
Zhai Sheng had suspected more than once that Shi Qing was lacking in interpersonal skills as she had inherited some of the Feng family’s genes.
“Mom?” Zhai Sheng was very eager to know Qiao Nan’s situation. Otherwise, he would not have made a call to his father and insisted that the Zhai Yaohui couple go to the capital as soon as possible. This was in case the foolish Feng family was to bully Qiao Nan. “Mom, why aren’t you talking? Is it because Nan Nan has already been bullied by the Feng family? How is the situation now? I will get someone to book a flight. I will go over tomorrow!”
Zhai Sheng was frowning badly on the other side of the phone. Could it be that her father had been too abiding for too long that both his bones and brains had turned rusty? He could not even deal with a family like the Feng family?
So, it was true that one would become useless when they were old?
If he had known that this would be the case, he would not have asked his father to take care of Nan Nan. He might as well make the trip himself.
Qiao Nan was dumbfounded because Zhai Sheng had been shooting questions at her like a machine gun. She nearly could not react. She finally made some noise when she heard Zhai Sheng saying that he would be coming tomorrow. “Brother Zhai, it’s me. I’m doing quite well. You don’t need to worry about me. The Feng family did not cause me any trouble. It’s true that the Feng family invited me for a meal but I rejected them. Thereafter, the people from the Feng family did not appear again.”

Of course, she was not certain whether the Feng family would continue to use Shi Qing’s name to get close to her in various ways or even give direct orders to Shi Qing to take her back to the Feng family. “Brother Zhai, don’t worry about me. I’m really doing quite well. I’m clear about what is going on in the Feng family’s minds. The more this is the case, the more I won’t be cajoled and taken in by them.”
“Nan Nan, why are you at…?” The small courtyard of the Zhai family?
Even for Lin Yuankang’s small courtyard, Qiao Nan had to encounter someone like Tang Jiayun before she was willing to move in. Naturally, Zhai Sheng understood Qiao Nan’s temperament and thinking all along. Although the Zhai family also had a vacant house in the capital, Qiao Nan would not agree to go there.
When Qiao Nan knew that the Zhai family also had a property in the capital, Qiao Nan did not force any such negative thoughts on Zhai Sheng.
Zhai Sheng understood Qiao Nan well. Qiao Nan also understood herself.
“Mom fell sick as soon as she arrived in the capital. She has caught a cold and a fever. Dad has brought her for a drip and she has taken two meals. She’s much better now. Dad is too busy, so I am taking care of her.” Qiao Nan told Zhai Sheng briefly about the matter.
Zhai Sheng was initially anxious but he felt more at ease now. “I see. This father of mine really knows how to slack.” If he had not been engaged with Nan Nan this year, who was his father going to look for to take care of his mother?
Zhai Sheng, who felt proud of Qiao Nan, did not even consider that Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing would not have come to the capital urgently if not for the fact that he had been engaged with Qiao Nan. They would have gone back to Ping Cheng first.
If Miao Jing had taken ill in Ping Cheng, would they be afraid that there would be no one available to take care of her?
At most, due to work, Zhai Yaohui would take a flight to the capital a few days earlier. Miao Jing would then look for Zhai Yaohui when she was better.
“Back to the topic, Mom is unwell. Nan Nan, it will be tough on you these few days.” Zhai Sheng felt very proud when he said this.
In the past, Zhai Hua had said some ugly words to Qiao Nan. She felt that Qiao Nan would be basking in the Zhai family’s glory if she was together with Zhai Sheng.
However, the current situation proved that the Zhai family was blessed by Qiao Nan and his relationship. His mother could have a future daughter-in-law to take care of her when she fell sick in the capital.
“Okay.” Those earlier words said by Zhai Sheng were all out of concern for Qiao Nan. At this moment, Qiao Nan felt so sweet in her heart. “Right, Brother Zhai, you don’t need to be anxious. First, you have to take care of your health and recover from your injury. Dad and Mom are already here. Regardless of the Feng family’s actions in the future, as long as Dad and Mom are around, I will have a way to deal with them. You have to take care of yourself. Don’t be like Mom who fell sick just as she arrived in the capital.”
Qiao Nan felt that she had to bear some responsibility for her mother-in-law’s illness. She hoped that Miao Jing did not fall ill because she had rushed to the capital for her sake.
She really did not expect that Zhai Sheng would be so anxious that he would make the Zhai Yaohui couple rush to the capital urgently to take care of her. This was to prevent her from being bullied by the Feng family, lest she was not their match.
Previously, Qiao Nan was indifferent toward the Feng family. At most, she did not wish to come into contact with them.
Now, at the thought of the Feng family, she felt that they were a little annoying.
“Okay.” Zhai Sheng responded patiently. “With Dad around, the Feng family will be more honest. This matter should be dealt with by the Zhai family. Nan Nan, do what you need to. You just have to pretend that this matter did not exist.”
The minds of the Feng family members were too predictable. Why would the Feng family care about an ordinary college student? That was because the identity of Qiao Nan as the future daughter-in-law of the Zhai family was too tempting
Qiao Nan smiled gently. “Brother Zhai, don’t treat me as though I am a block of tofu. You don’t need to worry about it. The matter of the Feng family does not have anything to do with you. Actually, I’m dealing with it very well. Don’t think that I am so weak. I am also not that petty.”
