Chapter 1855: Yes, They Are Both Mine
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiajia was the only child of the Zhai family. However, she was a female. If he performed well, he might be able to place Wei Wei by the Zhai family’s side. As time passed by, Zhai Sheng might really be willing to nurture Wei Wei and give him a way out.
One should always dream. What if it became real?
If Wei Wei became the chief, even if he was just a regiment commander, he was still a chief’s father. He would still reach the same goal albeit by different means.
However, Zhai Sheng was going to get married now. His match was Qiao Nan, a woman whom he couldn’t even fancy. Wei De was very dissatisfied. On what basis did Zhai Sheng refuse to give him, the brother-in-law, face because of Qiao Nan? Back then, he didn’t allow Zhai Hua to marry him. Until today, he had never officially addressed him as ‘brother-in-law’ once.
“Wei De, don’t think so highly of yourself.” Zhai Sheng looked coldly at Wei De. If he didn’t give Wei De a lesson, Wei De might just go crazy soon. “Sure, since you’re so unhappy staying here, I shan’t keep you any longer. You drove here yourself, so you can drive away now. I’ve said it before. You don’t have to worry about Jiajia and Zhai Hua.”
It wasn’t easy for the family to be reunited. Zhai Sheng really didn’t want to see Wei De, an unwelcomed person, on such a joyous and festive day like the new year. Furthermore, even if nobody took notice of Wei De, he had to just jump out and make his presence known, treating himself like a master of the Zhai family. Zhai Sheng really couldn’t tolerate this.
Wei De glared at him. “You’re asking me to leave at this time?”
Night fell quickly in winter. It was dinner time now. The sky outside was very dark and the trip from Qingshui Town to Ping Cheng would take one to two hours. Upon thinking that Zhai Sheng wanted to chase his own brother-in-law away for an outsider like Qiao Nan, Wei De really wanted to punch Zhai Sheng in the face.
Favoring an outsider instead of someone on his own side. He really couldn’t differentiate between his family and the outsider who should be chased away.
Wei De was always bad-tempered. Since he was chased away, how would he still be thick-skinned enough to stay? Even if he were to stay, Zhai Sheng had to apologize to him, and the Zhai family had to force him to stay. Otherwise, not only would he lose face in front of Qiao Nan and Xiao Xu, but he would also no longer be able to raise his head in front of them in the future.
“Okay, you want me to leave, right? I will! However, Zhai Hua is my wife and Jiajia is my daughter. We are celebrating the new year now. Of course we have to do so as a family. Since you can’t tell who is part of your family and who is an outsider, I can! I’ll bring both my wife and my daughter away,” Wei De said stubbornly.
This sentence made Qiao Nan laugh. “You really have a backbone. Your backing and confidence come from your wife and daughter. Since you know that they are your support in the Zhai family, why didn’t you treat them better? ‘To drink the ocean and then call it salty’ is really apt in describing people like you.”
How shameless. If he had the ability, he shouldn’t pull others down. He could leave by himself, and they’d see who would make him stay.
“What does that have to do with you?!” Even if Qiao Nan had said the truth, Wei De would definitely not admit it. His face turned red and he walked from Xiao Xu’s side. Action speaks louder than words, right? He didn’t believe that if he brought Zhai Hua and Jiajia away, the Zhai family wouldn’t feel uncomfortable. Those two elders without any grandchildren would definitely feel upset.
Who asked them to make him feel uncomfortable? He wouldn’t let these people lead a comfortable life either. It was the new year, but they wanted him to feel terrible, right? Then, all of them would just feel terrible together and hurt each other!
“You...” Seeing that Wei De was headed toward Jiajia’s room, Qiao Nan felt anxious. Jiajia was just a child. She definitely wouldn’t dare to oppose her biological father or have the ability to oppose. Wei De had this bad habit of always picking the weak ones to bully.
She obviously knew that Wei De did something wrong to Zhai Hua and Jiajia and kept Wei Wei a secret from them. Not only was Qiao Nan unable to tell the mother-and-daughter pair about this now, but she also had to watch Wei De bullying them on account that he was their husband and father. Qiao Nan was extremely angry.
Zhai Sheng patted the back of Qiao Nan’s hand. “Don’t be angry. It’s not worth it. You have to remember that no one from the Zhai family is easy to bully. Zhai Hua asked for it herself in the past. If she doesn’t stand up for herself today, even if Wei De won’t hit her, I will.” Anyway, when they were young, they had often ‘fought’.
“Forget it, both of you! Do you really treat Sister Zhai Hua as a man? A woman has her own thoughts. There are times your Zhai family’s tough tactics wouldn’t work too. Rather than you fighting with Sister Zhai Hua, why don’t we get Auntie Miao to have a good chat with Sister Zhai Hua?” Not everything could be resolved with fists.
When Sister Zhai Hua married Wei De, Old Master Zhai was still alive. Old Master Zhai had disagreed with their marriage, but Zhai Hua still went ahead to marry him. She didn’t believe that back then, Zhai Sheng and Sister Zhai Hua didn’t engage in the ‘old ways’ to resolve this problem. In the end, Sister Zhai Hua had suffered a beating, but she went ahead to get married anyway.
Perhaps when she first wanted to marry Wei De, Sister Zhai Hua’s heart was set at eighty percent, but after that beating, she had a hundred percent of determination.
Seeing that Qiao Nan didn’t refute and that she understood the Zhai family’s situation so clearly, Zhai Sheng’s doubts came to mind again. It was just the same as before. Zhai Sheng still firmly believed that Qiao Nan didn’t bear any bad intentions toward the Zhai family. Perhaps this was a manifestation of his fate with Qiao Nan.
Ever since he was young, Zhai Sheng had never believed in fate. After over forty years, he came to believe in the existence of fate. Upon thinking of this, Zhai Sheng thought that he was ridiculous as well.
“Leave the dishes to Xiao Xu and Xiao Zhao. Mom and Dad are waiting outside for us to have a meal. You don’t have to worry about Wei De. It’s time for Zhai Hua to sober up.” Today, he believed that Zhai Hua could ‘stand up’ for herself.
Qiao Nan sighed anxiously and agreed with Zhai Sheng. It wasn’t good for others to intervene in the affairs of a couple. Wait a minute. “That’s your dad and mom!” Zhai Sheng had said it strangely. It was as if the both of them shared the same parents.
“Yes, my dad and my mom. They are both mine.” Zhai Sheng admitted it readily. However, in Qiao Nan’s opinion, he might as well not admit it. Didn’t he see Xiao Xu and Xiao Zhao shrinking their necks and laughing? It sounded as if Zhai Sheng was just coaxing her unreasonable self. The problem was that the two of them were obviously not in that kind of relationship. That was cheating!
Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing saw Qiao Nan walking over with their son. Miao Jing asked, “Where’s Hua Hua and Jiajia?” As for the son-in-law, Wei De, Miao Jing wasn’t willing to give him face, let alone mention his name.
