Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Upon thinking about this, Grandma Zhai felt that this type of situation was too terrible. The girl didn’t do anything wrong. Her father was considered to have accumulated good karma. Why did it become bad karma in the end?
To prevent this situation from happening, Zhai Yaohui had plans.
Even if the Miao family had saved Old Zhai before, in Old Zhai’s heart, would other people’s daughter be closer to him than his biological son?
No!
Grandma Zhai expressed that if her son chose Qi Minlan, she would dote on the Miao family’s daughter like she was her own. Without her son, she would think of ways to find a good match for her.
Grandma Zhai had a good plan. However, she couldn’t win against a son who loved to pull the rug from under her feet. “Mom, is Dad coming back?”
“Soon. I’ve already said things clearly to you. While there’s still time, think of something quickly. Otherwise, I can’t help you either.”
“Mom, do you really think you will have a good daughter-in-law if I marry Qi Minlan?” Zhai Yaohui looked at his mom and asked, “Mom, you’d better speak the truth. Do you think Qi Minlan is compatible with me? Does she like me?”
He wasn’t even asking if she sincerely liked him.
Grandma Zhai sighed loudly. “Alright, it is possible not to be with Qi Minlan. Why don’t you hurry up and find another one quickly?”
Zhai Yaohui smiled. “Mom, it’s not as if you don’t know that the university I’m in is famous for having mostly male students. Furthermore, I’m going to graduate and join the army soon. How can I find someone?”
If there were already so few female students in university, he didn’t even need to think about it once he was in the army. “You want me to casually find a girl to be my partner? Mom, won’t you feel worried?”
Grandma Zhai felt frustrated and she couldn’t help but slap her son on the back. “This won’t do, that won’t do. Are you planning to listen to your dad and marry that girl surnamed Miao? If you marry her and treat her badly, even I won’t let you off, let alone your dad!”
Zhai Yaohui smiled again. “Mom, I was taught and raised by you. How would I do something that you don’t like? Don’t worry. If I agree to marry a woman, I would definitely be with that woman for the rest of my life. If I don’t treat a woman who is going to be with me for the rest of my life well, who else will I be good to?”
Grandma Zhai touched her chest, signaling that she no longer wanted to talk to him.
After talking for so long, her son eventually didn’t give her a clear answer.
Alright, treat it that she was being a busybody. She was no longer going to care.
At this time, Qi Minlan, who was being mentioned by Grandma Zhai and Zhai Yaohui, was also talking about her and Zhai Yaohui.
Old Master Shi said, “Minlan, how are things between you and Yaohui? When is their family coming over to propose marriage? When are you getting married to Yaohui?”
Qi Minlan only felt annoyed. “Dad, don’t ask me this question. You will have the answer faster if you ask the Zhai family directly!”
“What’s wrong? The both of you haven’t reconciled yet?” Old Master Shi frowned. “You know how formidable the Zhai family is. I’ve already told you how Zhai Yaohui rendered meritorious service when he was in university even without relying on Old Zhai. Your eldest brother had worked so hard in the army before getting to where he is today. Once Zhai Yaohui enters the army, he might overtake him soon.”
Qi Minlan became unhappy. “That’s not necessarily true. Brother’s current position in the army isn’t low. Zhai Yaohui rendered meritorious service, but so did Brother. Dad, can you not laud the spirit of the enemy and belittle your son?”
Old Master Shi’s face hardened. “You still dare to rebut me. Tell me! What’s the situation now?”
How would Old Master Shi not understand his biological daughter? Based on Old Zhai’s current identity and status and Zhai Yaohui’s eye-catching and outstanding performance, how would his daughter not have good feelings toward such an excellent man and not want to be with him?
His daughter’s attitude meant that there was a situation which he didn’t understand and his daughter couldn’t resolve.
Qi Minlan felt aggrieved. “Dad, I took the initiative to find Zhai Yaohui, but he ignored me. In front of outsiders, he didn’t acknowledge that I’m his girlfriend. He said that I’m his sister!”
It was so infuriating!
After Old Zhai got promoted to chief, coupled with Zhai Yaohui’s outstanding performance, many people were vying for Zhai Yaohui to be their son-in-law.
Zhai Yaohui was tall with a height of 1.8 meters. He was good-looking and talented. Where would one be able to find such a good match?
As such, although there were a lot of male students in Zhai Yaohui’s university major, he was quite well-known in several nearby universities. A lot of girls liked him.
If not for Zhai Yaohui’s cold behavior such that it wasn’t easy to get close to him and the conservative times, Zhai Yaohui would have received love letters that could fill his desk every day.
Everyone had vanity. Upon seeing so many girls like Zhai Yaohui but couldn’t get close to him, Qi Minlan felt that she was different.
These people liked her boyfriend. They couldn’t get close to Zhai Yaohui, but she could anytime she wanted to!
As such, the overall situation was set. Qi Minlan didn’t take the initiative to date Zhai Yaohui. However, she ‘ran into’ him a lot of times. “Brother Zhai, what a coincidence. We can actually meet in school.”
As a typical man, Zhai Yaohui naturally didn’t realize that Qi Minlan had deliberately worn new clothes and long skirts for him, let alone her meticulously combed and neat haircut. Of course, for the makeup and lipstick Qi Minlan applied to her face, Zhai Yaohui didn’t notice them either. “It’s pretty coincidental. You’re not busy recently?”
In the past chance encounters, Qi Minlan always told Zhai Yaohui that she was very busy and didn’t have time to chat with him for long.
Zhai Yaohui expressed understanding of this situation every time. Today was no exception. “Forget it, I shan’t disturb you. You have important things to attend to. Bye.”
It was a ‘chance encounter’, to begin with. Furthermore, for Qi Minlan, who was accustomed to being chased by boys, to take the initiative to have a ‘chance encounter’ with Zhai Yaohui was already giving him face.
Zhai Yaohui left so coldly and didn’t cherish her appearance. How would the angry Qi Minlan chase after Zhai Yaohui? She stomped her feet and left as well.
In the second ‘chance encounter’, Qi Minlan lifted her chin and walked past Zhai Yaohui.
Who knew that even after she had silently counted to ten in her heart, Zhai Yaohui didn’t call or greet her?
After Qi Minlan stopped and looked back at Zhai Yaohui, she realized that the distance between them had already become so long.
