Chapter 1577: Let Someone Else Do It

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
These two children were so outstanding. As a grandfather, Father Peng simply couldn’t say anything against his conscience. Father Peng knew that if his grandson grew up in the future to be similar to Zhai Yaohui’s grandson, he would definitely be satisfied. “You can’t make a comeback anymore. When Zhai Sheng became the chief back then, you might still be able to pull him down with some effort. A few years have passed since then. Zhai Sheng made great achievements and his position as the chief is now stable. You can’t pull him down anymore.”
It could be said that before Old Master Zhai’s generation, the Zhai family were still bumpkins. However, ever since Old Master Zhai joined the army to fight against the Japanese, the Zhai family became different. For three consecutive generations, the Zhai family had the blood of soldiers flowing in their bones. From a group of good-for-nothing bumpkins, they had turned into a respectable family of soldiers.
The Zhai family’s heritage was what their Peng family lacked. They lost not at the starting line but because of their ancestors! Their ancestors had already passed away. Could they possibly pull them out and ask why they weren’t as capable as Old Master Zhai when they were still alive so that the generations after them could be successful?
It was unrealistic!
“So be it if I can’t pull him down. How do I say this? After knowing that I have no ways to pull him down, there are a lot of things that I can’t do and I feel that my life’s so empty. If I have nothing to do, I’ll just create some trouble for Zhai Sheng and give him some obstacles. When I see Zhai Sheng being busy and in a bad mood, I will be in a good mood.” Peng Yu’s smile looked a little perverted and Father Peng was shocked.
Father Peng patted his chest. He decided that he would have to bring up his grandson. He couldn’t let his son do so. “Peng Yu, are you okay? Why do I feel that you’re a little weird? I heard that when young people are stressed nowadays, the string in their heads would become tight and something would go wrong. Why don’t you have a chat with those psychologists? Just treat it as a chat to release your stress.”
“Dad, do you think that I have mental issues?”
Father Peng laughed bitterly. “Don’t refuse to consult the doctor. The economy is developing and the pace of life is too fast now. This is already a common phenomenon. It’s not something extraordinary. Everyone has illnesses. Is it wrong to see a doctor if one’s ill? I’ve said it before that you can just treat it as a means to release your stress. I don’t mean anything else.”
Indeed, Peng Yu had gotten himself into a dead end and could no longer come out of it.
If he had known this earlier, he wouldn’t have used Zhai Sheng as an example to educate his son when Peng Yu was young. One’s son was the best. No matter how outstanding Zhai Sheng was, he had no feelings for him.
Peng Yu held his father’s hand. “Dad, don’t worry. I’m fine. It’s purely because of boredom that I’m creating trouble for Zhai Sheng. If something was really wrong with me, I would have visited the doctor a long time ago. The longer I live, the more I can see Zhai Sheng being unhappy. See? Didn’t the person who is out to make the Zhai family unhappy just come knocking on the door?”
It was absolutely right for Zhai Sheng to have married Qiao Nan. However, who would have expected that there would be such a nasty family behind the outstanding Qiao Nan? Indeed, no one was perfect. God was still fair.
He couldn’t start something from the Zhai family. It was rare for Qiao Nan’s side to have an opportunity. How could Peng Yu just hold it in and watch on? He would definitely make use of Qiao Zijin to start a conflict with the Zhai family.
When Qiao Zijin had ‘nowhere to go’, Peng Yu sent someone to appear in front of her. It was as sacred as the appearance of a savior to lead Qiao Zijin out of the confusing mist.
What happened afterward seemed to be uncontrollable. With Peng Yu’s help, Qiao Zijin successfully contacted a media reporter. Regardless if it was taught by Peng Yu or Qiao Zijin had said it according to her own heart, it caused an uproar immediately when the media began to report on Qiao Nan’s family affairs.
Even if Qiao Nan had become the minister of foreign affairs, she would definitely not appear in front of the camera unless it was for necessary activities. However, after the trouble Qiao Zijin created, Qiao Nan was like a celebrity in a TV drama. There would be a lot of people gathered nearby the places where she might appear, wanting to interview Qiao Nan.
A few regular newspapers didn’t dare to report indiscriminately. The reporters were obliged to tell everyone the truth about the matter, and everyone had the right to know. However, before fulfilling this point, the biggest premise was that their reports must be true and there should be nothing false. After all, Qiao Nan belonged to the ministry. Once there was any untrue reporting on this matter, the consequences were equivalent to framing the ministry and legal action would be taken.
Before investigating clearly or confirming the truth, it was clear that the regular media didn’t dare to report indiscriminately.
It was just that although the regular media didn’t dare to do so, the smaller-scale media would do anything to put themselves out and gain recognition. As the minister of foreign affairs, Qiao Nan was on the headlines for both People’s Daily and entertainment magazines. One could neither laugh nor cry at such a situation.
“A certain minister made it to the top and refused to acknowledge her poor relatives.”
“After attaining great success, a certain minister abandoned her birth sister by the roadside.”
“The woman who stayed on the bridge today was actually a certain minister’s sister.”
“A certain minister forgot her roots and forced her relatives with authority, shamelessly controlling her birth parents.”
Articles of malicious attacks followed one after another. Even if the reports didn’t state Qiao Nan’s name, who in the capital wouldn’t know that this certain minister was referring to the female minister from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Most importantly, the photos published in these reports were of Qiao Zijin in a miserable state, without Qiao Nan. However, no mosaic treatment was applied to Qiao Zijin’s face at all. It was a magnified and clear photo, as if afraid that others couldn’t recognize her.
In the photo, Qiao Zijin looked pitiful and haggard. Her clothes were dirty and crumpled, and her hair was greasy. Even though people were just seeing Qiao Zijin through a photo, they could easily detect the heavy sweat smell on her body.
In order to prove that their reports were true, there were one or two photos of Qiao Zijin sleeping pitifully under the bridge.
With these reports, a number of keyboard warriors ranted their thoughts, including ‘reason sides with the weak’ and ‘take revenge against the high-ranking and rich officials’. They criticized Qiao Nan for being cold-blooded and heartless. How could people count on a person like her who didn’t even care about her birth sister to put the country and the citizens first in her heart?
One felt fearful at the thought of letting such a heartless person occupy an important position in the country. Could it be that they couldn’t find a person who was as capable as Qiao Nan but had a higher sense of righteousness and affection to take on the role of the minister of foreign affairs in their big country?
