Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Chapter 1492 - Congratulations In Advance

Chapter 1492: Congratulations In Advance

“Since you said so, I think I can really rest assured. That’s right. Ever since I knew you, you’ve never been one to make others worry.” It was exactly because there was no need to worry about her that he felt sorry for her. Children that were too sensible were always likable. “Your… your dad has been doing well, right?” Her family had not come along to the capital because of Qiao Dongliang, right?
“There’s nothing for the time being.” But Qiao Nan could not be sure when Ding Jiayi would come to the capital and cause trouble because of this.
“Sigh…” Everything Shi Peng wanted to say was conveyed in this long sigh.
Throughout the entire conversation between Shi Peng and Qiao Nan, Feng Cheng silently stayed by Shi Peng, with pity and sympathy in her eyes. She could not blame Shi Peng and Qing Qing for treating this young lady well. This young lady truly led a tough life.
Through Shi Peng, Feng Cheng already knew that Qiao Nan’s relationship with her biological parents could not compare to even a tenth of her relationship with Old Lin.
It felt as though Qiao Nan had accumulated bad luck through eight lifetimes to deserve such a pair of parents.
“Auntie, you’re just going to look on like that?” When Feng Cheng left Shi Peng and Qiao Nan to get some water, Qiu Chenxi walked over to Feng Cheng and posed this ridiculous question.
Feng Cheng’s lips twitched and her expression was sour. “I believe in your uncle. Qiu Chenxi, I don’t blame my Qing Qing for disliking you. No matter what, Shi Peng is still your uncle, and he hasn’t got any bad records. You’re purposely trying to instigate something between your uncle and me. Why? Now that you’ve made your mark, you don’t need relatives like us anymore? If that’s the case, you can stop calling me auntie. I’m in no need of people like you calling me auntie.”
Feng Cheng had never liked Qiu Chenxi. When she was younger, Qiu Chenxi had always fought for attention with Shi Qing in the Shi family. When they grew older, the two ladies fell for Zhai Sheng at the same time. Unfortunately, the person who got engaged to Zhai Sheng was Qiu Chenxi. Her own daughter did not even stand a chance.
Thinking about it this way, for the first time, Feng Cheng felt that it was good that Qiao Nan married Zhai Sheng. Without the appearance of Qiao Nan, Zhai Sheng’s wife today could very well be Qiu Chenxi. Every time the relatives met, Shi Qing would see them together and be heartbroken. She might never recover from that.
At least now that the person Zhai Sheng married was Qiao Nan, Feng Cheng realized that every time Shi Qing mentioned the Zhai family, she always had a jovial tone. As for the three children of Qiao Nan, she liked them so much that she recognized them as her godsons and goddaughter!
Thanks to her daughter, Shi Qing and Zhu Baoguo only got engaged, but Feng Cheng had already become a god-grandmother. Now, when Feng Cheng saw the Zhai family’s intelligent and adorable three children, she did not feel much. Although she did not have as bad an impression of Qiao Nan as before, neither did she think well of Qiao Nan.
But who would have expected that after all that Qiu Chenxi had done seven years ago, she once again instigated something to make Feng Cheng dislike Qiao Nan. Thus, Feng Cheng was quite aware of Qiu Chenxi’s methods.
“It’s not that I’m too trusting of your uncle. But the truth is Zhai Sheng is quite a lot older than Qiao Nan, and he is your uncle’s disciple. With such a relationship, do you think that there can be anything going on between Qiao Nan and your uncle?” She could not deny that there were too many despicable and ridiculous things in society nowadays.
In order to climb up the ladder, no matter the era, there would always be such immoral transactions. It was not uncommon to see a man of status sleeping with women his daughter’s age, or even younger than his daughter.
But she dared to say that such a thing would never happen to Shi Peng, much less Qiao Nan.
With such a gem like Zhai Sheng in front of her, how blind did Qiao Nan have to be to give up such a wonderful young man to find a second-class thing outside?
Feng Cheng could no longer stay calm and listen to Qiu Chenxi. Giving up Zhai Sheng, who was a good match for her, to get into a relationship with Shi Peng? Even if she wanted to stir something up, she should have made up a believable excuse at the very least.
After giving Qiu Chenxi a piece of her mind, Feng Cheng silently returned to Shi Peng’s side. She knew that Qiu Chenxi would never run her mouth in the presence of Shi Peng. This also made Feng Cheng understand something. In Qiu Chenxi’s eyes, she was probably a fool that could be coaxed well.
Otherwise, why would Qiu Chenxi not find other people but only target her?
Indeed, seeing Feng Cheng have no response to her provocations and simply return to Shi Peng’s side, Qiu Chenxi was unhappy but could only shut her mouth and pay her respects to the two elders. She waited quietly by the side until Shi Peng and Qiao Nan finished catching up before she proceeded to leave with the couple.
Noticing from the corners of his eyes that Qiu Chenxi had talked to Feng Cheng alone, Shi Peng looked at Feng Cheng uneasily. Feng Cheng raised her chin at Shi Peng with a haughty look.
In an instant, Shi Peng and Qiao Nan both understood that Qiu Chenxi had indeed said something nasty to Feng Cheng. But this time, Qiu Chenxi had done so in vain.
Perhaps she was really in a bad mood, but coincidentally, Qiu Chenxi had not realized that she had walked straight into Qiao Nan.
Now that she was face to face with Qiao Nan, Qiu Chenxi’s face stiffened. Her words were not as sharp as before and her tone was gentler. “I’m so sorry about the old chief and Old Lin. I hope you’ll take care of yourself.”
In the few years that they had not met, the young lady who still had to look up to meet her face was now a strong lady with poise and confidence. The thought of being less than Qiao Nan made Qiu Chenxi feel slightly inferior, and she ground her teeth in indignation. She was trying her best not to show any changes in her expression, lest she be made a joke by Qiao Nan.
Qiu Chenxi unconsciously softened her attitude, causing Qiao Nan to sneer. “Don’t worry. I will. By the way, Miss Qiu, you’re about the same age as Brother Zhai. Our three children are already in primary school. I wonder when I’ll be invited to your wedding.”
The person she had been in love with was now married and already had children in primary school. As for herself, she was still far from getting married. Such a stark contrast was a slap in her face.
“…” Qiu Chenxi felt as though the words were stuck in her throat. It was not as though she did not want to get married. She did. But who would marry her? She thought about how the Peng family was already arranging blind dates for Peng Yu. It seemed like Peng Yu was no longer trying to escape and ignore this problem. He was even enjoying the process! The thought of this made her turn pale.
As Qiu Chenxi’s face turned pale, it was as if the dark cloud covering Qiao Nan suddenly disappeared and light suddenly burst in. “I have another question. When the time comes, will your wedding be with Peng Yu? I’ve heard from many people that Madam Peng always brings you around. You’ve practically become the mistress of the Peng family already, so I’ll congratulate you in advance.”
