Chapter 1436: Did Not Intend for You to Return the Favor
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“She was married to my son at a young age, and she was pregnant not long after the marriage.” Miao Jing sat up straight at the mention of Qiao Nan’s educational qualifications. Miao Jing attained her high school diploma at the adult school. She did not really study hard in school.
But Nan Nan was different. Nan Nan studied hard and sat for the examination, and she was accepted into one of the best universities in the country.
“Peking University student?” The auntie felt an instant and jarring pain in her teeth. She thought that Qiao Nan bewitched the son in the Zhai family based on her looks, and perhaps she was already pregnant when she got married to him. No matter how pretty she was, she must be lacking in other aspects.
To her surprise, the truth was far from it. The young lady had good moral character and she was a genius.
Qiao Nan went to one of the best universities in China. During the four years in college, Qiao Nan even married and had three children in one go. Moreover, all of them were so well-behaved.
She was no longer curious about Qiao Nan. Now, she was more interested to know how the Qiao family managed to raise such a capable young lady. Qiao Nan completed the tasks that average ladies would not be able to achieve in their four years of college. Even if the other young ladies managed to do it, they would not do it as well as Qiao Nan.
How did one manage to raise such a daughter? She was simply a genius and was much more capable than many men. “Oh, by the way, I remember the children’s mother is called Qiao Nan? If I am not mistaken, there is a college entrance examination top student from Ping Cheng who has the same name.”
It was rare for someone from Ping Cheng to be the provincial top scholar in the college entrance examination. It had been many years since Ping Cheng had such a good result. Back then, Ping Cheng news would report on Qiao Nan’s excellent results in the college entrance examination. Although four years had passed, the auntie would never forget the only two people—Qiao Nan and Shi Qing—who went on television in these four years for being the college entrance examination top students.
“Hehe.” Miao Jing smiled modestly. “Well, Nan Nan was indeed the provincial top humanities student from four years ago. The top science student of the province was Nan Nan’s good friend.”
“...” The auntie was rendered speechless. She thought that Qiao Nan became Cinderella by getting married to a rich man. But in the end, she realized that they were a good match. She was a humble top student who overcame the odds to become successful.
After knowing Qiao Nan’s background, the auntie no longer harbored any dishonest thoughts about Qiao Nan. Instead, she was particularly humble toward Qiao Nan as compared to before. She knew that Qiao Nan achieved what she had today through her own efforts and did not rely on her in-laws.
Qiao Nan found it strange that the auntie was more hospitable and polite to her than before. However, since she would not stay in Ping Cheng for long, and the auntie was a temporary helper, she did not look into it. After she left, she might not see her in the future. She would not be bothered with the auntie’s changing attitude and mood as long as the auntie was hardworking and took good care of the children’s meals.
Miao Jing kept track of the time for Qiao Nan. “Nan Nan, it’s ten o’clock now. Are you leaving now?”
“Almost... I will be leaving soon.” Qiao Nan took her bag, changed her shoes, and bade the triplets goodbye. “I will be going out for a while. I will be back in a few hours. The three of you must be good. Stay at home to accompany grandma and help me take care of grandma. Is that okay?”
The triplets looked especially serious when they heard that they were given tasks. As the eldest brother, Da Bao represented them to give a reply. “Mom, you rest assured. We will look after grandma and stop her from running about.”
Obviously, Da Bao learned this from Qiao Nan. Since his mother told him to look after grandma, he used what Qiao Nan used to say and applied it to Miao Jing.
Qiao Nan gave a kiss on each of the three children’s cheeks before she felt assured and left the house.
Qiao Nan intended to go to the venue directly. The Qiao family was not rich. They could not afford to hold a grand wedding banquet, but the Zhou family was fairly well-to-do. The Qiao family did not have many relatives while the Zhou family had a lot of relatives. Since that was the case and the Qiao family’s relatives would not take up many tables, Mother Zhou told the Qiao family that the Zhou family would foot the bill for the wedding banquet.
Mother Zhou knew about the Qiao family’s situation. Since they had already collected the marriage certificate, she would not be calculative on the wedding banquet and embarrass the Qiao family and Qiao Zijin.
Once she reached the hotel, Qiao Nan saw the big banner hanging at the entrance of the hotel, congratulating the groom, Zhou Zheng, and the bride, Qiao Zijin, on their wedding and wishing that they would live a long and happy life together.
Ten years later, there would be a screen display outside the hotel, whereby one could use the computer to control the wordings on the display. Now, however, it was more common to use the banner.
With the help of the service staff, Qiao Nan reached the level where Zhou Zheng and Qiao Zijin held the wedding banquet. When she walked forward, the bride and groom were standing at the entrance. Qiao Zijin was dressed in a pure white wedding dress. She put on makeup and held a bouquet in her hands. There were two bridesmaids next to her, with a smile on their faces, welcoming all the guests to her wedding.
Qiao Zijin’s smile froze momentarily when she noticed Qiao Nan. But she recovered quickly and left the groom and bridesmaids to walk toward Qiao Nan, spreading her arms to hug Qiao Nan in a passionate embrace. “Nan Nan, you’re finally here. I thought that you had something on and would not be able to come!”
Qiao Nan felt very uncomfortable. This was the first time in her two lifetimes that she was hugged by Qiao Zijin. She felt awkward and had goose bumps. Qiao Nan first patted Qiao Zijin’s back in front of everyone, telling her not to be so excited. Qiao Zijin loosened her hold on Qiao Nan and Qiao Nan took a few steps back. “Congratulations. I wish you a happy marriage and to give birth to a child soon.”
With that, like other guests, Qiao Nan took out a fairly thick red packet from her bag and passed it to Qiao Zijin.
Qiao Nan did not write her name on the red packet. It was clean and had no writings on it. Apart from the money inside, it looked as if it had just been printed in the factory.
Qiao Nan married early and her children were already three years old. She did not intend for Qiao Zijin to return the favor in the future.
Qiao Zijin held the red packet in her hands. She could tell that the red packet was quite thick. Qiao Zijin finally had a more sincere smile on her face.
Today was an important day in her life. This was a once in a lifetime occasion. Everyone who went to the Qiao family to join in the fun could not help but ask her when her younger sister was coming. Could it be that Qiao Nan would not be present even when she was getting married?
Qiao Zijin did not place as much importance on Qiao Nan’s presence as the Zhou family. What she valued most was some form of gifts for her wedding from Qiao Nan since the latter was already in Ping Cheng. She would be very embarrassed if Qiao Nan did not do anything for her.
