Chapter 918: The Zhai Family Protecting Their Calf

Chapter 918 The Zhai Family Protecting Their Calf

School had just started and today's subject was one of the main subjects. Not many students dared to skip lessons.

Qiao Nan found a seat and sat down to eat her breakfast secretly. She was afraid that she would be late. Therefore, she did not have her breakfast at the Lin family's house. Instead, she brought it with her to school.

Qiao Nan, who was eating stealthily like a mouse, did not realize that three pairs of eyes were fixed on her as soon as she sat down. The three of them felt perplexed and were in a fix.

It was only until now that Tang Jiayun and the two of them realized that Qiao Nan and Shi Qing did not have a change of dormitory. Instead, they stayed outside the school.

In other words, Qiao Nan was able to move out because of Shi Qing.

Previously, the three of them still had some doubts. However, they were very certain now.

Shi Qing definitely came from a wealthy and powerful family. It was not surprising that she had houses in the capital. As for Qiao Nan, the freeloader, she was able to stay with her since she was her friend.

Everyone hoped that they would have friends who were ballers, like Shi Qing.

When they still had their doubts before, they had already felt upset and jealous of the lucky Qiao Nan. They did not expect that she would be able to befriend a true friend who was a baller back in the countryside.

Now that they were certain that Shi Qing's family was rich, every one of them, particularly Tang Jiayun, felt anguished at missing such a good chance.

For the first time in her life, Tang Jiayun realized what her blind spot was. She was only concerned about moving up the social ladder through dating men from good families, but she forgot that the powerful families had daughters as well.

If she was in a relationship, she would have to be taken advantage of to a certain extent. But if she had a friend like Shi Qing, she would be the only person who stood to gain from their relationship.

It was more cost-effective to befriend a female friend than to have a boyfriend.

She always thought that she was smart and clever, but she did not expect that Qiao Nan was much better than her.

If she had known that Qiao Nan was so smart, she should have been humble and learned from her.

Qiao Nan disregarded Tang Jiayun and the two of them, focusing on eating her breakfast. She did not even lift her eyes off her breakfast to notice where they were seated.

After she moved out of the dormitory, Qiao Nan treated Tang Jiayun and the two of them as ordinary classmates. She merely nodded to acknowledge them when she saw them in school.

Tang Jiayun and the two of them felt guilty. They wanted to befriend Qiao Nan, but they kept dawdling because they were embarrassed.

The three of them took their time to make a move to sit beside Qiao Nan. By the time they made up their mind, a female student from the same faculty had taken the seat next to Qiao Nan. The three of them could not help but stare at her in anger.

Yu Xiaoxiao gave a resigned sigh. "Lü Yan, I decided that I won't join the two of you. Qiao Nan is not a pushover. Since birds of a feather flock together, I don't think Shi Qing is a pushover either. Given that Qiao Nan moved out of our dormitory, and that Shi Qing is on good terms with Qiao Nan, do you think that Shi Qing will still help us?"

It was already good enough that Shi Qing did not target the two of them as they had listened to Tang Jiayun's words and ostracized Qiao Nan.

Lü Yan looked listless. "Are we really going to give up just like this? What about our internships?"

"The internship is two years from now. Nobody knows what will happen after two years. We shouldn't think too much. We are not on good terms with Shi Qing. Even if her family is powerful, they will not be easily bullied by us. Anyway, I will not fawn over Qiao Nan anymore. I have my pride." Yu Xiaoxiao opened her textbook and focused her attention on her lesson, waiting for the professor to start the class.

Since a young age, she relied on her own efforts to study hard. She would do the same in the capital as well.

Besides herself, there was no one that she could depend on forever. As for other ways to success, it would have to depend on luck.

Lü Yan agreed with her. She had no wish to flunk her exams and fail to get in through the back door. She would lose more than she gained.

After sorting out their thoughts, Yu Xiaoxiao and Lü Yan focused their attention on their studies and stopped worrying about the internship in the future.

Putting that matter aside, let's talk about the other matter.

Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing could not be bothered to argue with people like Wei De. Zhai Yaohui left with Miao Jing, saying that he had work to attend to.

The couple had not been to many places before they received a call from their son. Once Zhai Yaohui hung up the phone, Miao Jing moved to sit beside him. "Are we going to the capital now to see Nan Nan?"

Miao Jing was full of excitement.

"Do you hate the Feng family so much that you want to rush over to support Qiao Nan?" Zhai Yaohui smiled. Miao Miao looked like how she was twenty years ago, full of zest and spirit.

Miao Jing was unhappy. "Nan Nan is my daughter-in-law, the mother of my future grandson and granddaughter. I have to support her no matter what. As for the Feng family, I dislike everyone who is related to Qi Minlan. True enough, they are birds of a feather!"

Miao Jing hated everyone who had the least bit of relation to Qi Minlan. There were times when Shi Qing would get on her nerves as well.

However, one good thing about Miao Jing was that she would not force people around her to hate the people that she disliked.

Miao Jing knew that Qiao Nan had a good relationship with Shi Qing. Miao Jing never hinted or explicitly told Qiao Nan to stay away from Shi Qing or to cut off all ties with Shi Qing.

Zhai Yaohui changed his position so that Miao Jing could lean on him more comfortably. "Your son is simply making use of us." His son was not able to leave right now. Therefore, he wanted his parents to make the move for him so that the Feng family would not be up to anything and Qiao Nan would not suffer because of them.

Miao Jing slapped Zhai Yaohui on the back of his hand. "One of them is my son while the other is my daughter-in-law. I am willing to go to the extreme to support them. You can do nothing about it! It's fine if I don't know the situation about the Feng family, but now that I've found out about it, I have to do something. We are the ones who implicated Qiao Nan and caused the Feng family to target her. She has helped persuade your daughter. You must return a favor with a favor. One must not be ungrateful."

Miao Jing was helpless that Zhai Hua insisted on being with Wei De. Of course, as the father, Zhai Yaohui's way of solving the problem was not effective as well.

Although Qiao Nan was not able to persuade Zhai Hua to break up with Wei De, at the very least, Zhai Hua was willing to listen to Qiao Nan and had stopped contacting Wei De for the time being so that the two of them could calm down.

Miao Jing felt that as they seldom contacted each other, her daughter would most likely break up with Wei De eventually. The most important thing was that she did not need to worry that her daughter would have a child even before marriage.

Qiao Nan was such a darling daughter-in-law. She had yet to marry Zhai Sheng and was already working to solve the Zhai family's problems. She could not help but dote on and protect her. There was no way that she would allow her to be bullied.

Seeing that Miao Jing was getting agitated, Zhai Yaohui patted Miao Jing to reassure her. "I didn't stop you from taking charge. Since Qiao Nan is already engaged to Zhai Sheng, in other words, she is Zhai Hua's sister-in-law. Since her family is in trouble, it is right for her to help out. You have used the wrong words. I am not being ungrateful."
