Chapter 319 I accept this reason
If not as a classmate, how could he thank Zhai Sheng and at the same time distance himself from Qiao?
Zhu Baoguo, who couldn't figure it out all of a sudden, became anxious. He seemed to want to confirm something, and think of something else, but the words that had already jumped out of his throat just wouldn't come out.
"Hmm?" Zhu Baoguo didn't say anything. Zhai Sheng asked lightly, neither too lightly nor too slowly, just like a brush dipped in ink casually tapping on paper, but it had a direct and immediate effect, and Zhu Baoguo looked panicked.
"I, I am here as a brother! Yes, you don't know, I am one year older than Qiao. Although Qiao is in the same grade as me, she started school earlier and is in the same grade as me but older than me. I always treat Qiao as my younger sister and I want to protect her. Of course, you are very good to Qiao, and as her brother, I naturally have to thank you on her behalf." Yes, that's right.
He has passed away a long time ago. Qiao is his sister. He will take good care of Qiao and will not let others bully her.
He would beat back anyone who bullied Qiao, but was it too much for him to just say "thank you" to someone like Zhai Sheng who had helped Qiao?
With this identity as a shield, Zhu Baoguo straightened his back, changed his previous guilt and uncertainty, and became more confident.
Zhai Sheng smiled with great forethought: "I accept this reason, and I also accept your thanks."
Zhu Chengyan made an appointment with Hao Juting. It was a pity that he had raised this son to be a bit useless. He was already 18 years old, but he was still as green as a young boy and didn't know any strategy at all. He was just trying out his skills, but Zhu Baoguo dug his own grave, not only blocking his way out, but also burying himself.
Zhu Baoguo is not mature enough now, and he doesn't know what kind of treasure he has lost with his words just now. When Zhu Baoguo grows up and matures in the future, he will regret it.
In response, Zhai Sheng shamelessly expressed his willingness to be Zhu Baoguo's enlightenment teacher and give him a "profound" lesson first.
Zhu Baoguo will have to blame Zhu Chengyan for teaching him well, and he will also blame himself for being too stupid. Wang Yang schemed and bullied him like that, but he still hasn't learned his lesson at this age. He dug a big hole for himself and then buried himself in it.
Zhu Baoguo's tense nerves couldn't help but stretch again because of Zhai Sheng's words. What did it mean? He looked like he was ready to fight him just now, but now he's gone soft again. Did he give in?
The Zhai Sheng he knew was definitely not someone who would compromise so easily. Could it be that Zhai Sheng was holding back on something big to deal with him?
"You seem to be having a good chat. What did you talk about?" Feeling that the time she had given them was about enough, Qiao Nan came out with two cups of hot water, one for each of Zhai Sheng and Zhu Baoguo.
"Nothing, just chatting casually."
"Don't worry, take a seat." Unlike Zhu Baoguo, who was feeling guilty, Zhai Sheng, who had just done something shameful, remained calm. Zhai Sheng had once again nipped the bud of a "possible" future for Qiao Nan.
The Zhu family invited the Qiao family to dinner, and Zhai Sheng received the news almost immediately.
At that time, Zhai Hua was still watching Zhai Sheng's jokes: "You have to hurry up, otherwise, Nan Nan will really be kidnapped. I heard that the son of the Zhu family is only one year older than Nan Nan, so two years of age is more suitable. They were classmates in junior high school, true childhood sweethearts, and they must have a good relationship. You have three years in junior high school, three years in high school, and if you go to college for four years, will Nan Nan have the surname Zhu in the future?"
"Look again, the Zhu family has invited the Qiao family. Obviously, the Zhu family does not look down on the Qiao family and is quite accepting of the Qiao family's situation. Just in this respect, Zhu Baoguo has an advantage over you. Zhai Sheng, I think your matter with Nan Nan is hanging. Who knows, the two children may have fallen in love with each other after being together for a long time, and there is nothing you can do about it."
Zhai Hua's words were just like what Zhai Sheng had picked up. They were not real siblings, so Zhai Hua would say whatever words she wanted to provoke. She just wanted to see if Zhai Sheng would lose his mind for Qiao Nan and rush to the Zhu family to snatch her away.
Unfortunately, Zhai Sheng was not fooled.
Until Qiao Nan and Qiao Dongliang were safely sent back to the courtyard by the Zhu family, Zhai Sheng did not show any abnormality in front of other relatives of the Zhai family. The only time he made a small mistake was when he was playing chess with Master Zhu.
Recalling what Zhai Hua said yesterday, Zhai Sheng stretched out his arms, picked up the tea his wife poured for him, took a sip gently, and smiled.
With Nan Nan's eyes, there is no way she would like Zhu Baoguo. Just being suitable is not enough.
"Nannan, the New Year is coming soon. Did you forget something?" After taking a sip of boiled water, Zhai Sheng reminded Qiao Nan what the purpose of his visit was.
"Things? Oh, I remember now, but hasn't he been very busy recently? Last time I wanted to go, his door was crowded with people and I was scared away." Qiao Nan realized that Zhai Sheng was not someone else but Lin Yuankang, who had taken him in as his last disciple for half a year.
Qiao Nan had seen this before when she first went to the Lin family, but she didn't expect that the situation she saw the second time was even more exaggerated than the first time. She didn't understand why there were so many people who were so persistent and blocked the door of her master's house and refused to leave.
"The reason why your master encountered this trouble was all because of you, his disciple. As long as your identity is not exposed, there will always be people who refuse to give up and want to give it a try. For you, your master has suffered a lot." Zhai Sheng's dark eyes locked directly on Qiao Nan's face, but his tone was as steady as usual.
"Is that so? Then Master, I'll have to ask you to work harder in the future." Qiao Nan said hurriedly. What if those people knew that she had occupied the position they coveted? Would they just chop her to death with knives?
The topic that Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan were talking about was something Zhu Baoguo had no idea about. Hearing the two chatting without paying attention to others, Zhu Baoguo felt like an outsider who could only sit there and listen. His face turned black with depression.
He was not happy with Jin'er. Today, he was very unhappy with Jin'er. He had never disliked Zhai Sheng before, but he had never hated him as much as he did today. He wanted to kick Zhai Sheng away from Qiao.
Feeling uncomfortable and awkward, Zhu Baoguo really wanted to know who this "master" that Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng mentioned was, but his pride made him purse his lips and remain silent.
"Nannan, are you there? I'm here to see you."
"Oh my god, what day is it? She's here too?!"
