“As you have said, this is the Qiao family’s residence. You may be looking for Qiao Nan, but it depends on whether she wants to see you or not. Rest assured. I will not shut you outside the door. At the very least, I will pass the message for you. Wait here.” Shi Qing smiled dryly at Qiu Chenxi before she slammed the door on her, almost knocking her nose.
There was a strange and terrifying woman at the door. She had to close the door for her safety.
The woman might sneak into the house to steal or hurt someone while she turned to call for Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan stopped what she was doing, turning to face Shi Qing. “Did you say… that Qiu Chenxi is here?”
Qiao Nan scanned the surroundings. There were not many defensive weapons in her house. “How many thugs did Qiu Chenxi bring with her? Shall we call the police? Otherwise, by the time the police officers are here, we may already be dead.”
“Stop teasing. Qiu Chenxi is alone. She did not bring any hatchet man.”
“How could it be!” Previously, when she was Brother Zhai’s girlfriend, Qiu Chenxi was already dying to destroy her. Now, she was Brother Zhai’s fiancée. Qiu Chenxi should be dashing to her house with a knife, no?
“You can see it for yourself.” Shi Qing was amused. “You are too timid. If Qiu Chenxi brings thugs with her, do you think this house of yours will be able to keep them out? If Qiu Chenxi was so vicious, would I pass the message for her? Do you take me for a fool? By the way, even if she wants to see you, you can choose not to see her. There is no need to be so afraid.”
“It is better that I don’t see her. We are not friends. We have nothing to say even if we meet.” Qiao Nan refused outright.
Shi Qing had meant to pass Qiao Nan’s message to Qiu Chenxi, telling her to leave. But in the end, she brought Qiu Chenxi into the house for them to have a talk.
“Alright, hurry up to say whatever you want to say. I will send you out afterward.” Shi Qing looked unhappy. She crossed her hands, looking like a big shot, standing between Qiu Chenxi and Qiao Nan. She shot cold looks at Qiu Chenxi, telling her to say whatever that she wanted to say.
Qiao Nan glanced at Shi Qing, askance, reminding her that since she dared to let Qiu Chenxi in today, Brother Zhai would settle scores with her next time.
“I will be going to Mo Du tomorrow. Before I leave, I want to see you.” Qiu Chenxi sat down impatiently.
Qiao Nan drank some water. “Fine, as long as you don’t get someone to beat me.”
“If you are afraid of being beaten, you should leave Zhai Sheng for good. I don’t deny that Zhai Sheng has chosen you. You have won, but I did not lose to you. It is just that Zhai Sheng is not the person that I want. But Zhai Sheng is such a good catch. Do you think you can sit back and relax after I am out of the picture? Impossible! There are a lot of women who like Zhai Sheng. I have heard that one of the female doctors in the military hospital is particularly fond of Zhai Sheng. In the past, with me around, the woman may have a good impression of Zhai Sheng, but she did not dare to confess her love for him. Now that Zhai Sheng’s fiancée is someone like you, do you think that the female doctor will suppress her affection for Zhai Sheng?”
Qiao Nan snatched Zhai Sheng away from her. There would be a day where another girl would appear and snatch Zhai Sheng away from her.
Justice had long arms.
Qiao Nan would not be smug for long.
Qiao Nan was surprised to hear this piece of news from Qiu Chenxi. “I did not know of such things and Brother Zhai did not mention it to me. When he is back, I will ask him if he knows such a person.”
Qiu Chenxi pulled a long face, while Shi Qing gave Qiao Nan a thumbs-up. Qiao Nan’s reply was brilliant.
It seemed like Qiu Chenxi did not understand what she had said just now. If not, she would not have made such foolish comments.
Qiu Chenxi took a few deep breaths. “Qiao Nan, don’t be too cocky. Do you really think that everything will go smoothly for you now that you are engaged to Zhai Sheng? Even if I leave Ping Cheng, I will keep a watch on the two of you. I will wait to see whether you will really get married to Zhai Sheng when you graduate from college!”
Zhai Hua’s boyfriend, Wei De, had a strong objection to Qiao Nan, his sister-in-law.
With Wei De by Zhai Hua’s side, Zhai Hua would definitely be influenced by him.
She would wait to see what Wei De would do to make Zhai Sheng abandon Qiao Nan.
Whatever humiliation that she had suffered now, Qiao Nan would have to suffer twice the amount years later.
“I have taken note of your ‘advice’. Is there anything else that you want to say? If not, bon voyage.” Qiao Nan was not affected by Qiu Chenxi at all. To her, Qiu Chenxi was like a three-year-old kid who was throwing tantrums. She did not take the vicious words that she said to heart.
Qiu Chenxi was all too familiar with Qiao Nan’s overly calm and nonchalant look.
It made her feel all the more humiliated. This was the expression that Zhai Sheng always had. Apart from Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan was the second person who had that look in her eyes.
Qiu Chenxi stood up. “Qiao Nan, I grew up in Ping Cheng as well!”
With that, Qiu Chenxi left the house.
“Hey, what was she trying to do? She insisted on seeing you just to say those nonsensical words? Did she think that you would behave like her and go crazy when you learned that someone else likes Brother Zhai? Is she sick in the mind?” Qiao Nan could not be bothered with Qiu Chenxi, while Shi Qing was fuming mad. “If I had known that she would behave in such a manner, I would not have let her in. What did she mean by saying these?”
“She did not mean anything. But it is you who is more interesting.” Qiao Nan cupped her chin and looked at Shi Qing.
“What… what about me?” Shi Qing did not understand. She shifted further away from Qiao Nan.
“I am curious about what Qiu Chenxi said just now in order for you to let her in. Do you think this is interesting?” Qiu Chenxi was capable enough to make Shi Qing open the door for her.
“Hehehe…” Shi Qing could not deny that she had indeed opened the door for Qiu Chenxi. “Don’t worry. I know what I am doing. Didn’t you see that I stayed by your side all the while? If she dared to harm you, I would run to your rescue and kick her out of the house right away.”
Qiao Nan leaned on the sofa, acting like she was the master in the house. “I am thirsty.”
“I will get you some tea right away.”
“My shoulders feel sore.”
“I will massage it for you.”
“Are you willing to go now?” Qi Minlan had packed her luggage and was waiting for Qiu Chenxi in the hotel. Qiu Chenxi could not bear to leave.
