Chapter 1539: Breaking It with Actions

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Her paternal grandma had a bad temper, and her father did not care about others. Naturally, the ones that the little girl was most fond of were her mom and maternal grandparents. The moment she saw her father come toward her in a threatening manner similar to the bad guys she saw on television, she did not even wait for a reaction from her teacher before she burst out in tears, refusing to let her father come any closer. When her father drew closer, the little girl hid behind her teacher as though she was playing a game.

In the end, the teacher informed Xu Shengnan about the situation. The moment Xu Shengnan arrived and threatened to involve the police, the other party had no choice but to leave in a rage.

After this fiasco, Xu Shengnan placed more importance on picking her child up from school. Less than a week after that incident, everything Qiao Nan needed was placed in front of her. Seeing the ultrasound pictures of that mistress, Qiao Nan laughed coldly. It was just as she had predicted. "See for yourself, Senior Xu."

Xu Shengnan's hand that held the ultrasound pictures shivered furiously. "No wonder. No wonder..." No wonder he had been keeping the fact that he had a mistress from her until recently. Or perhaps it was not even that she had discovered it. Perhaps that bast*rd pair had purposely let her discover the truth.

"He's clearly trying to pick a fight with me so that other people will misunderstand that I'm being unreasonable. This way, he'll be able to chase me out of the house for her to take my place!"

"Are you going to sue him?" Qiao Nan asked. With evidence, everything would be much easier.

Xu Shengnan's breath was unstable. "Not at the moment. Junior Qiao, don't be angry. I have my concerns. My daughter doesn't have a good relationship with them. But after all, they are her grandma and father. I don't want my daughter to have such a bad impression of her closest relatives, less it leave a scar on her young mind. I'll try to settle it privately with them first. In short, I don't want what's not mine. They can dream on about taking what's mine. So we should just separate amicably."

As a mother herself, Qiao Nan calmed down quickly. "You're right about this point."

"Junior Qiao, just in case, can you lend me a hand? I don't have roots in the capital, and neither do I know many people. On the other hand, they have so many neighbors and relatives. I'm just afraid that since they can't defeat me now that I have evidence, they might try to use force against me." If the evidence that her junior had found were to be snatched away, there was really nothing else she could do.

"I'd rather be seen as petty than be the one getting hurt," Xu Shengnan said as she cupped her face. She had been faced with too much lately to the point she was about to collapse. Could they really not get through the 'seven-year itch'?

Qiao Nan pushed the glass of warm water in front of Xu Shengnan. No matter how hot the weather was, she knew that Xu Shengnan's heart must be as cold as winter. "Your idea to have people back you up just in case is good. Keep this phone well. When you meet them, call this number and he will solve it for you. I've told him about your problem. Don't worry."

It made no sense for only one person to worry about this problem. This comrade of Zhai Sheng had not only opened a private investigation company but also a security company. If they wanted to find a few people to scare others away, it was only right to find this comrade of his.

She had always been addressed as an elder sister, and the other party's voice also seemed rather youthful. That was why Qiao Nan did not even know that this comrade was actually older than her by two years! Without Zhai Sheng as an 'elder brother', she would be the one addressing the comrade as 'elder brother' instead!

"Thank you." Xu Shengnan accepted Qiao Nan's help quietly. At this point in time, she did not know what else to say to Qiao Nan.

What Qiao Nan did not know was that once she passed this phone over, Qiao Nan had not only helped Xu Shengnan get rid of this tragedy of a marriage, but she had also helped welcome Xu Shengnan's true happiness. If a bad guy did not cherish a good girl, there would naturally be a wise man who would pick this gem up and take good care of it.

"Everything has been settled?" Seeing that Qiao Nan's eyebrows were no longer furrowed, Zhai Sheng knew that Xu Shengnan's problem had more or less been resolved. Thinking about Qiao Nan's enthusiasm toward Xu Shengnan, Zhai Sheng was a little unhappy. "First, it was Shi Qing. Now, it's your Senior Xu. May I ask Minister Qiao when you are going to care more about your husband?"

"When have I not cared about you?" Qiao Nan replied in a relaxed manner, showing how firm she was about this. "Brother Zhai, don't you know that after this incident with Senior Xu, my love toward you has only been ever-increasing? Brother Zhai, how did I ever find and marry such a wonderful man? If it were not for you, I might have stayed single my whole life."

"If you didn't meet me, you wouldn't get married at all?" Fine. With Qiao Nan's coaxing, it was as though Zhai Sheng swallowed a whole bowl of ice. He felt refreshed from the inside out. Eating ice in June was the best feeling ever.

He heard Qiao Nan reply with a word, "Yes." Her ears flushed red and she nodded vigorously. "If I hadn't met you, I'd rather not marry anyone and just stay single." Qiao Nan was not the least bit embarrassed to say that. After all, hadn't she been single up until her death in her past life? But...

"Brother Zhai, if you hadn't met me, would you still get married to some other woman?" Qiao Nan did not believe that with his status, a man in his forties like Zhai Sheng would be able to stay unmarried.

"Even if I got married, I would get divorced." Zhai Sheng was clear of his own temper. He knew that even if he were to get married, the relationship would not last. "Not all women are so independent like you and are busier than me. And not all women can bear such loneliness. At least, none of the women that I've met could take it." Actually, there were only a few women whom Zhai Sheng had met.

But he insisted that Qiao Nan was the only one who could have done it amongst all of them.

Qiao Nan was upset and threw a small tantrum. So he meant that in his past life, he had not only gotten married but had also married someone other than her. As for whether he got divorced or not, Qiao Nan did not care. She cared only about whether he got married or not. He could only get divorced if he got married!

In both lifetimes, this was her first marriage. In comparison, Zhai Sheng had already been married once.

Seeing that Qiao Nan was throwing a tantrum, Zhai Sheng was helpless. He could not understand what Qiao Nan was angry about. After all, this was all hypothetical. Looking at the clock next to the bed, he realized that it was almost ten, so he turned over and used his physical strength to 'comfort' Qiao Nan.
