Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Chapter 809 - Do Not Deceive Me

Chapter 809 Do Not Deceive Me

No way!
“I have agreed to it. I feel that she is a good young lady. I am quite pleased with her.”
“Being good is not enough. You should know better than me what it is like to be part of the Zhai family. Not everyone is qualified to be our daughter-in-law or would be able to adapt well. I am not being snobbish. I just hope that the other party and Zhai Sheng will not have to walk the difficult path like we did.” Miao Jing was anxious.
Zhai Yaohui tried to put it in another way. “The young lady may not come from an established family, but she has a good personality and courage. She is dignified and has the bearing of a well-bred lady. She is not small-minded. She is bold but cautious and she won’t make mistakes even when she is in a hurry. Although she won’t be able to adapt right away to our family when she married Zhai Sheng, she is a fast learner and will adapt easily. Both the young lady and Zhai Sheng will not have a difficult time. You should trust Zhai Sheng and his judgment. He would not take a fancy to girls who cannot rise up to the occasion.”
Back then, he had a good judge of character as well.
Miao Miao was quick to adapt and she learned to become a dignified Mrs. Zhai in a short time.
His son had inherited his positive qualities.
Miao Jing was stunned momentarily. “Really? Are you helping Zhai Sheng to deceive me?”
“Haven’t I mentioned it before that the child is very similar to Qiao Nan? What do you think of Qiao Nan’s courage and manners?”. Zhai Yaohui made use of the chance to hint at Miao Jing, hoping that she would be able to read between the lines.
“Nan Nan is very good, but she is Zhai Sheng’s younger sister. These are two different matters.”
“What I am saying is that the person is very similar to Nan Nan. She is as brave as Nan Nan and her manners are like hers. Do you think she is qualified to be the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law?” Why was Miao Miao so dead-set in thinking that Qiao Nan was Zhai Sheng’s sister? She did not give birth to her. It was no wonder that Zhai Sheng felt so helpless and had to ask him for help.
“If she is as good as Nan Nan, then she can more or less meet my requirements.” Miao Jing breathed a sigh of relief. “But she really must be as good as Nan Nan. Don’t underestimate Nan Nan. Even if Nan Nan’s father is a retired soldier, not everyone will be as courageous as her. Anyway, I will never accept those who are calculating, scheming, and indecent.”
“Don’t worry. She will be as good as Qiao Nan. In fact, she may be better than her.” Qiao Nan was improving by the day. Her results for the college entrance examination would be out in a few days.
It would be better if Qiao Nan studied in the first-tier university.
“I can’t help but doubt the words that you and your son are saying. They may not be true. I won’t be taken in. I will have to see for myself if the young lady is really that good.” Miao Jing was saying that she was willing to meet the young lady.
“You can be assured that both of you will meet very soon.” When the results for the college entrance examination were out, Qiao Nan would be introduced as Miao Miao’s daughter-in-law to her.
“Excuse me, is there anyone in Chief Zhai’s house? There is someone at the door. He is here to deliver a parcel.”
Zhai Sheng, who had remained silent all the while, stood up and walked toward the door.
“Does the parcel belong to him?” Miao Jing blinked. “Who would send a parcel to Zhai Sheng? We do not accept gifts.”
“It’s definitely not related to that.” There was a glitter in Zhai Yaohui’s eyes. It was no wonder that Zhai Sheng stayed at home today. It turned out that he was waiting for the parcel.
Zhai Sheng had just reached the door when Zhai Hua came back from Wei De’s house. She was chatting with the person who delivered the parcel. That person had reached out and was about to pass a yellow envelope to Zhai Hua.
“Sorry, this is mine.” Zhai Hua was just about to take the yellow envelope when Zhai Sheng snatched it away. “I am Zhai Sheng.”
“Oh, since I have delivered the parcel, I will be on my way.” The person who delivered the parcel was frightened at the cold, hard look on Zhai Sheng’s face.
Since he had delivered the parcel, he turned to leave in a hurry.
“Look at you. You have given him a scare. Since it is yours, I have no wish to snatch it from you. It is just that he had stood at the doorway to the quad for such a long time. He must be tired. I was only thinking of taking it on your behalf.” Zhai Hua laughed dryly. It was just a parcel. She would not keep it from Zhai Sheng.
“It is very light. I don’t think it contains anything valuable. Why are you so nervous?” It did not cross Zhai Hua’s mind to open the envelope to take a look. But she was curious at Zhai Sheng’s uptight expression.
“…” Zhai Sheng knew that Zhai Hua was teasing him. He took the envelope and walked back to the house.
“Hey, wait for me. Tell me what it is. I am curious…” Zhai Hua broke into a jog to trail behind Zhai Sheng. She followed him all the way into the house but he refused to give her an answer.
“I will go back to my room.”
“You have yet to give me an answer, and now you are going back to your room…” Zhai Hua refused to give up. She trailed right after him. Zhai Sheng slammed the door shut on her. There was no way that she could follow him into the room. “What is with that temper of yours? It is not anything precious. Why do you need to hide it? Mom, Dad, do you know what Zhai Sheng has with him? Someone delivered it to him. He is upset that I tried to collect the parcel on his behalf.”
Miao Jing stared at Zhai Hua, feeling exasperated. “You came back with him. You were the one who was in contact with the parcel. How would your dad and I know what is in it?”
Zhai Yaohui gave Zhai Hua a meaningful look. “Since Zhai Sheng forbids you from looking at it, it means that it is not suitable for you to look at it. You should understand that curiosity killed the cat.”
“Alright.” Zhai Hua snorted unhappily. Anyway, she was not dying to take a look.
Even so, Zhai Hua would steal glances at Zhai Sheng’s door. Zhai Yaohui knew that she was still very curious about it.
Qiu Chenxi had asked someone to deliver a recorded cassette tape to Zhai Sheng. Zhai Sheng put the cassette tape into a walkman and put on the earphones.
When he recognized the voice that belonged to Wei De, he knew what was going on.
It turned out that when Wei De went to look for Qiu Chenxi to tell him that Qiao Nan was the woman she was looking for, Qiu Chenxi had recorded their conversation secretly.
In fact, Qiu Chenxi was scheming against Wei De.
Zhai Hua brought Wei De back to the Zhai family in the second half of last year. Everyone in their social circle knew about that.
Qiu Chenxi was worried that Wei De might turn on her in order to please the Zhai family. Therefore, she recorded their conversation in secret. If anything happened in the future, she could use this as evidence.
Initially, when Wei De told her that Qiao Nan was the person she was looking for, Qiu Chenxi had thought that he was lying to her. She had the idea that he did that so as to prevent her from finding out who Zhai Sheng’s girlfriend really was, whereas Qiao Nan would be the scapegoat.
