Chapter 1223 Fake Politeness
"Well, there's nothing I can do. I have to go back. Have you bought everything?"
"We've asked someone to prepare it a long time ago. We can just carry it with us." Zhai Sheng patted Qiao Nan's back gently, coaxing her like a treasure. No matter whether she was a daughter-in-law or a wife, she was a treasure in his heart.
All the members of the Zhai family went to the capital and did not stay in Pingcheng, but there was still someone watching over the Zhai family’s house in Pingcheng.
Before Zhai Sheng returned to Pingcheng, he made a phone call and asked the person in charge of the Zhai family's yard to prepare the New Year gifts according to the usual practice.
Everything was ready, and Qiao Nan had no excuse to delay. She could only gloomily hold Zhai Sheng's arm and, under Zhai Sheng's guidance, walk step by step towards Qiao's house.
When Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan appeared, many neighbors in the compound saw them and greeted the couple enthusiastically: "Hey, Nan Nan is back, are you visiting your parents' home?"
"Nannan, are you back to your mother's home?"
"Nannan, it's rare for you to come back. When you have time, come to my house and I'll make you something delicious."
Now, besides Liesheng, Qiao Nan is the most outstanding child in this compound. Not only because Qiao Nan married a man as outstanding as Liesheng, but more importantly, Qiao Nan's talent and performance alone are enough to make her the "other people's child" in the eyes of all the adults in this compound.
Facing these familiar neighbors, Qiao Nan stood beside Zhai Sheng and responded with a shy smile.
No one thought that Qiao Nan looked down on them, her old neighbors, after climbing up the social ladder. You know, in their impression, Qiao Nan has always been a girl who loves to laugh but doesn't talk much.
Otherwise, before Qiao Nan's high school entrance exam, people in the compound wouldn't have always thought that Qiao Zijin was smarter than Qiao Nan. It was just that Qiao Zijin was sweeter and more likable than Qiao Nan in front of others, leaving a lot of good impressions on people. On the contrary, Qiao Nan, who rarely spoke, followed Qiao Zijin silently like a background, and always did more than Qiao Zijin.
When Zhai Sheng brought Qiao Nan back to Qiao's courtyard, the lively atmosphere was no less than the occasion when officials from the capital in ancient times returned to their hometowns.
Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan were still some distance away from the Qiao family's courtyard when the Qiao family had already heard the neighbors' congratulations. They knew that not only had Qiao Nan returned, but even a busy man like Zhai Sheng had accompanied Qiao Nan back to her parents' home.
Qiao Zijin felt very upset. She saw Qiao Nan's father-in-law on TV during the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve. In other words, if Qiao Nan wanted, she didn't have to watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV like she did, but could go to the event directly.
Chief Zhai’s status is so high, Zhai Sheng’s is not much lower.
On such an important day as the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhai Sheng was willing to accompany Qiao Nan back to Qiao's home to visit relatives. This was enough to show how much Zhai Sheng valued Qiao Nan.
She didn't understand what was so good about Qiao Nan that made Zhai Sheng pay so much for her. She always thought that even if Qiao Nan could really go back to the Qiao family, there would be no one to accompany her. How could a family like the Zhai family be interested in in-laws like the Qiao family?
As long as no one from the Zhai family accompanied Qiao Nan back to the Qiao family, the Zhai family looked down on the Qiao family. He Chang didn't mean to look down on Qiao Nan and not give Qiao Nan face. Who knew that the facts would slap him in the face. Not only did someone from the Zhai family accompany Qiao Nan back to her parents' home to visit relatives, but the person who came was Zhai Sheng himself.
The appearance of Zhai Sheng not only represents Lie Sheng's feelings for Qiao Nan, but also represents the importance that the Lie family places on Qiao Nan.
Otherwise, it would be easy for the elders of the Zhai family to find a reason to force Zhai Sheng to stay and deal with the high-ranking officials and wealthy families that the Zhai family had dealings with. As long as they were related to the Zhai family, their status would be higher than that of the Qiao family.
Even so, today, Zhai Sheng still accompanied Qiao Nan to the Qiao family courtyard, which shocked Qiao Zijin greatly.
She was outstanding enough to marry into the hunting family despite her imperfect family background, and was recognized and accepted by both her husband and her in-laws. Until now, Qiao Nan still has all the good things, making people jealous.
Qiao Zijin was so angry that her teeth bled. She almost began to doubt that Qiao Nan was not her mother's daughter, but her husband's daughter.
How come none of the good things that happened to Qiao Nan ever happened to her? She couldn't even keep Chen Jun.
The rare contact over the past year made Qiao Zijin realize how determined Chen Jun was to break up with her.
Thinking of Chen Jun, Qiao Zijin took a deep breath and swallowed the blood in her mouth. Without Chen Jun, she could look for Li Jun, or even the Red Army.
All the "army" that Qiao Nan introduced to her would be no worse than Chen Jun. Without Chen Jun, there was nothing to be disappointed about. With Qiao Nan as her sister, she would definitely be able to live the life she had always expected!
When Qiao Nan walked to the gate of Qiao's house, the first person to come out to greet her was not Qiao Dongliang, but Qiao Zijin, her elder sister. Qiao Zijin greeted Qiao Nan with a smile: "Nan Nan, you are back. Why didn't you call us in advance so that we could prepare. By the way, Happy New Year. I wish you better studies this year, and your three children are healthy, as smart as you, and as healthy as your brother-in-law."
Qiao Zijin's series of congratulations shocked Qiao Nan so much that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Having been sisters for two lifetimes, they had long been accustomed to Qiao Zijin's habit of never being able to produce ivory from a dog's mouth. Now, every word she said sounded like human language, how could Qiao Nan not be shocked.
"Nannan, are you back?" Qiao Dongliang, who was a step slower, also looked at Qiao Zijin with a strange look, thinking to himself, what is Zijin up to now? This New Year's Day, Nannan finally came back, and hoped that Zijin would not be too excessive and drive Nannan away: "It snowed heavily in Pingcheng a while ago, and now the snow hasn't melted completely, it's very cold. Come in quickly, is it snowing in the capital?"
"Go ahead." Qiao Nan nodded and went into the house.
Qiao Dongliang let his daughter and son-in-law into the house while greeting his neighbors: "Okay, wait a minute, come to my house and have a seat."
Ding Jiayi was the one with the most conflicted feelings and a distorted expression. Seeing the pile of expensive things in Zhai Sheng's hands, Ding Jiayi forced a smile and said, "Qiao Nan, you are such a fool. It's enough for you and Zhai Sheng to come back and sit with me and your father. Why did you bring so many things? We are all family. There's no need to be so polite."
No one would take Ding Jiayi's polite words seriously. After all, Ding Jiayi said "no need" in the previous second, and in the next second, she quickly took the pile of gifts from Zhai Sheng's hands and carefully locked them in her room.
