“Brother Zhai, how should we resolve this? Should we let Da Bao settle it himself if it really happens? Or should you get involved?” As a mother, there was no way Qiao Nan could let the matter go, knowing that someone has their eyes on her son.

“Let him resolve it himself.” Zhai Sheng said domineering while hugging Qiao Nan. “This is quite similar to that matter with Zhou Xing. They’ll face many such problems in the future. If they can’t even solve such a problem concerning a woman, how can I rely on them to overcome the difficulties and solve the challenges we encounter on missions in the military?”

Zhai Sheng was rather surprised by this too. He had almost forgotten about the existence of Qiu Chenxi. He had never expected that Qiu Chenxi had even instructed her daughter to set her sights on his son. Zhai Sheng himself could not really understand what Qiu Chenxi was doing. It was not as though there were only the men of the Zhai family left in the whole world. There was really no need to be so obsessed with the men of the Zhai family.

In the past few years, Qiu Chenxi had never appeared in front of him. Similarly, her mother, Qi Minlan, had not appeared in front of his mother. As a parent himself, Zhai Sheng always remembered how his mom would always hide away when Qiu Chenxi and Qi Minlan visited.

“Don’t be so quick to pass your judgment. If my memory serves me well, Qiu Chenxi still thought of herself as your fiancée even after I became your girlfriend. She always came to cause trouble for me.” Brother Zhai had not handled the matter regarding Qiu Chenxi as cleanly and quickly as he expected Da Bao to do.

“At that time, if it had not been for Shi Qing’s help, I would have suffered great losses at Qiu Chenxi’s hands. Although we had not publically announced our relationship, Qiu Chenxi made it seem as though it was shameful for us to be together. And you have to guts to talk about Da Bao and Er Bao now?”

This woman’s temper never changed no matter her age. Everyone was about the same.

Because of her rebirth, Qiao Nan had decided to rebel against Ding Jiayi. That was how she had bumped into Zhai Sheng and had been won over by just a simple fever medicine. Her previous life had been ruined because she had cowardly accepted the path that Ding Jiayi had arranged for her.

Even though she lived in the same courtyard as Zhai Sheng and knew who Zhai Sheng was, Zhai Sheng never knew that there was a young lady named Qiao Nan living in the same compound as him. In her previous life, she had almost turned forty years old but had remained single and had never had a boyfriend until her death.

Qiao Nan could not believe that Zhai Sheng, who was five years older than her and at forty-four years old, was just like her, unmarried without any children.

Qiao Nan felt a little sour when thinking about how her parents-in-law had even identified Qiu Chenxi as their own daughter-in-law when the two of them had been together. She could not help but think that Qiu Chenxi was the one that Zhai Sheng had married when she had not appeared in her previous life. In their previous lives, it had been Qiu Chenxi who had given birth to Zhai Sheng’s children and had been the one who was the chief’s wife.

If that was really the case, Qiao Nan did not know whether to feel a little guilty toward Qiu Chenxi. Even if she had not taken the initiative to fight for this relationship, it had been her appearance that changed Qiu Chenxi’s original destiny. She had only thought about changing her own destiny. Because of the butterfly effect, she had not only changed her own destiny but someone else’s as well.

You reaped what you sowed.

So would she need to repay her debts to Qiu Chenxi for changing their destinies? It did not matter for her, but Qiao Nan did not want to drag her son into the matter and give her son to Qiu Chenxi.

“...” At the mention of this, Zhai Sheng’s attitude softened. “I never like her. No one understands my mom’s feelings toward the pair of mother and daughter better than me and Zhai Hua.”

“But I never saw your family being very persistent in ostracizing them. Didn’t your families treat each other as in-laws? My father-in-law’s attitude was just like that, and neither did my mother-in-law resist. Albeit clearly detesting them, you guys chose to feel depressed only in your hearts and hurt yourselves. It’s not that I want to pass judgment on you or Sister Zhai Hua. The two of you should know that I have no objections. But it was because the two of you were neglected by your parents when you were younger that you guys bore resentment. Both of you felt that the adults should settle their own problems. You guys tried to help your mom, but there was a limit to your abilities. Mom herself disliked Qi Minlan and her daughter but was still willing to accept the both of them. You and Sister Hua Hua had the intention of following your parents and causing trouble for them.”

It was not as though Qiao Nan did not know about what had gone on at that time. But at that time, the Zhai family’s relationship lacked a little sincerity, and there was even a tinge of indifference. The way the Zhai family got along with each other made Qiao Nan feel that the family might be living under the same roof, but they did not really care about each other. As long as someone thought that he was doing well, even if someone else thought that such an idea was wrong, he would not try to correct the other person. At most, he might give a suggestion, but it would ultimately be up to the other person to do whatever he deemed fit.

Qiao Nan put up her hands and calculated the time Zhai Sheng spent at home. It was truly pitiful.

Even then, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law had always told her that Zhai Sheng was now in contact with his family more frequently because she was in a relationship with Zhai Sheng!

Qiao Nan wondered what would have happened had she not appeared, given that Zhai Sheng was stationed in an army camp for the long-term. Zhai Sheng would not even have any time to get to know another girl apart from Qiu Chenxi, let alone date a girl!

With the relationship between Qi Minlan and Zhai Yaohui, it was actually quite easy for Qiu Chenxi to get married to Zhai Sheng if she wanted to. After all, Zhai Sheng did not know another young lady apart from Qiu Chenxi, much less say like another young lady, or get into a relationship with her.

Instead of finding a totally unknown and unfamiliar young lady, Qiu Chenxi became the best choice for Zhai Sheng.

“...” Zhai Sheng rubbed his nose. “Haven’t you heard that children shouldn’t meddle in adults’ affairs?” He could not deny that neither he nor Zhai Hua was close to their parents.

He could see that his mom disliked Qi Minlan and her daughter, but the two families interacted more often than real in-laws. His mom would always put up a false smiling front but would cry behind their backs. Once she could no longer stand it, she would run out to hide. He and Zhai Hua knew about this, but they could not do anything. Neither did they want to do anything about it.

As an adult and as the matriarch of the Zhai family, if their mom was going to behave in this manner, there was no reason for the two children to interfere. Saddened by the misfortune but angered by the lack of resistance. That was the principle.

Zhai Sheng had always thought that their family would continue getting along with Qi Minlan and her daughter in this strange way.
