Chapter 1681: Strong Background

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiu Chenxi was initially unwilling to do so as this matter was simply too embarrassing. She knew that not only was Peng Yu getting married, but he had decided to do so shortly after he had a first date with the other party. It was like a huge slap to Qiu Chenxi’s face and she was ashamed. How would she have the face to run over to the Peng family and question them?

If she went to ask, could it be that Peng Yu wouldn’t marry that international student but her instead? Qiu Chenxi was worried that if she found out more from the Peng family, she would only suffer more humiliation instead.

However, Elder Shi insisted on an answer. Qiu Chenxi had no choice but to be thick-skinned and go to the Peng family.

The Peng family wasn’t afraid of Qiu Chenxi questioning them. Even if Elder Shi had made a trip personally to their house, the Peng family could give Elder Shi and Qiu Chenxi a convincing answer. “Have you dated our Peng Yu? Did our Peng Yu ever admit that you are his girlfriend? Also, did our Peng Yu ever say to marry you as his wife, or to be engaged to you, or to propose to you? Don’t tell me there is a tacit understanding between the two of you. You don’t have that with our Peng Yu. I have never heard of marriage proposals or engagements based on a tacit understanding either. If there was really a tacit understanding, even if there wasn’t a proposal, there would be an engagement ring, right?”

Peng Yu was never interested in Qiu Chenxi. It was purely because Qiu Chenxi had grudges against Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng that he saw his enemy’s enemy as a friend. Qiu Chenxi and Zhai Sheng were childhood sweethearts. He had thought that he would yield twice the results by doing half the work with Qiu Chenxi’s help to deal with Zhai Sheng.

However, Peng Yu didn’t expect Qiu Chenxi to be unreasonable. She had some ability to deal with and scheme against others. However, when she dealt with her enemies, Qiu Chenxi’s means weren’t worth mentioning.

The Peng family had said it so explicitly, but Qiu Chenxi couldn’t even answer a single question. She could only return in defeat and bring the Peng family’s words to Elder Shi. She also told Elder Shi to forget it. If she went to the Peng family’s house again, she would really be too ashamed to show her face in the future.

Qiu Chenxi’s development wasn’t as good as Shi Qing’s. They were both thirty years old. After much difficulty, the person Qiu Chenxi married couldn’t compare to Zhu Baoguo, whom Shi Qing married. At this moment, Elder Shi couldn’t help but feel regretful.

If he had known that his granddaughter, Qiu Chenxi, was incapable, he would have handed over everything in his hands to Shi Qing. In any case, Qiu Chenxi was just a maternal granddaughter. Qing Qing was different. She was his paternal granddaughter.

Even if Elder Shi felt regretful, he couldn’t ask back the items he had given to Qiu Chenxi anymore. Shi Qing wouldn’t bother to get what Qiu Chenxi had received either.

As such, after Elder Shi understood who was the one between Shi Qing and Qiu Chenxi who could develop the Shi family and help make his wish come true, it naturally became just an extravagant hope when he tried to pick up his relationship with Shi Qing again. Aside from the respect one should have for elders, Shi Qing didn’t have any endearing feelings toward him at all.

Later, when Elder Shi heard that the government would be allowing a second child to be born into the family, Elder Shi secretly discussed with Shi Qing, hoping that she could give birth to another child with Zhu Baoguo. Shi Qing’s eldest son was surnamed Zhu and he was called Zhu Yu. After Shi Qing gave birth to a second child, regardless of gender, he or she would be surnamed Shi. The Shi family name must be passed down.

When Shi Qing heard this, she felt that it was extremely funny. “Grandpa, if you really have such thoughts, let me give you a suggestion. You have heard in advance that the government would be allowing a second child to be born into the family. Why don’t you tell this to Qiu Chenxi? You have given Qiu Chenxi everything from the Shi family. It’s right and proper for Qiu Chenxi to be giving birth to another child for the Shi family. Coincidentally, that child surnamed Shi can inherit from Qiu Chenxi everything that you have passed to her. In this way, everything would be returned to the Shi family.”

She wouldn’t meddle with the Shi family matters. If she herself wouldn’t, how would she let her child be involved?

“You also know that Zhu Baoguo and I are usually too busy. My father has retired and thus has more free time to help me take care of Zhu Yu. When Zhu Yu was born, Zhu Baoguo and I had to return to the army. My father-in-law was busier than us, and my father had a lot of projects at hand. My mother was even more inexperienced than me when it came to taking care of children. As such, if not for Nan Nan’s help at that time, Zhu Yu might not have grown up well. If I don’t have the time to bring up a child, I don’t want to have a second child. I couldn’t possibly trouble Qiao Nan to help me bring up my second child after she had brought up my first child, right? You might not have known this, but when Zhu Yu was at the Zhai family, he often called Qiao Nan as Mother Nan Nan.”

Thankfully, she had a good relationship with Qiao Nan. She also felt that she had owed Zhu Yu, her son, a lot. Otherwise, to listen to his son address another woman as his mother would really fill her up with jealousy.

Actually, Shi Qing felt jealous at the start. After all, Zhu Yu was her only birth son. She naturally hoped that Zhu Yu would be closest to her. It was really uncomfortable to listen to his son address another woman as his mother.

However, Shi Qing quickly let go of such complicated thoughts. Within an hour, she recalled that she only had a son addressing Qiao Nan as his mother. However, the triplets Qiao Nan gave birth to had addressed her as their godmother since they were young. In that way, she had obtained two half-sons and one half-daughter from Qiao Nan.

If those could be put together, she would have obtained one and a half of Qiao Nan’s children. Based on this, she would have taken three times the advantage, as compared to Qiao Nan. This was really... The person who should feel jealous shouldn’t be herself but Qiao Nan.

It was also because she had too good a relationship with Qiao Nan that Shi Qing used a very short period of time to adjust her mentality when her son called Qiao Nan his mother. After that first time, whenever Zhu Yu addressed Qiao Nan as Mother Nan Nan, not only was Shi Qing not angry, but she even smiled happily behind their backs as if she was a kitten who had just stolen a fish. She was only short of licking her paws.

When she saw how intimate Zhu Yu and Qiao Nan looked, Shi Qing silently told herself that out of Qiao Nan’s three children, at least two of them would follow Brother Zhai’s footsteps to be a soldier. The army was her territory. Zhu Yu and Qiao Nan could be intimate now, but by then, she would let Qiao Nan’s children who had entered the army to be equally intimate with her.

Snort. How could she lose to Qiao Nan? Let’s see who has the biggest advantage in the end!

As one would have imagined, when Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin went to study at PLA National Defense University, they immediately received special care from Shi Qing. Aside from those students in school who didn’t need to know, the rest understood how strong Zhai Yi’s and Zhai Xin’s backgrounds were.
