Chapter 345 I Don’t Like Being in Qiao’s Courtyard
"Even if Uncle Qiao's situation is inconvenient, you can find someone else, or find me. If I hadn't happened to be out for something that night, would you have wanted to come back alone?" In the end, Zhai Sheng's face looked very ugly.
"That's right." Qiao Dongliang nodded in agreement: "I am your father, you should come to me." Of course, Qiao Dongliang did not forget to declare his initiative.
The daughter is his. If she encounters a problem, she will definitely go to him as her father first. Why would she go to outsiders?
Qiao Dongliang hadn't realized that Zhai Sheng was interested in Qiao Nan, but as a man, he had a strong sense of territory, and with just one sentence he brought the topic back to the topic that Zhai Sheng had just deviated from.
"..." Facing the attacks from the two older men, Qiao Nan was speechless: "Are you sure you want me to go find one of you?"
Yesterday was New Year's Eve, and Brother Zhai had to celebrate the New Year with his family. She went there as a stranger, and she even asked Brother Zhai to take her home. What would others think? Did Brother Zhai still want to be with her?
If she really did something like this, the elders of the Zhai family would immediately have a very bad impression of her.
In this case, there is no need for her and Brother Zhai to even try hard, because it will definitely not work.
As for her father, Qiao Nan didn't want to recall what happened last night.
In that situation, if she really showed up, both her mother and father would probably complain. Her father would not complain, but he would definitely be extremely embarrassed.
Of these two people closest to her, which one can she find?
“…”
“…”
Zhai Sheng and Qiao Dongliang were speechless because of Qiao Nan, because they both knew that what Qiao Nan said was the truth.
"Zhai Sheng, yesterday New Year's Eve, you were not at home to celebrate the New Year with your family, so how did you go out and meet Nan Nan again?" Qiao Dongliang thought, something is not right, since Nan Nan did not go to find Zhai Sheng, then how did Zhai Sheng and Nan Nan meet.
Who would have the time of night to go out and enjoy the cold wind instead of staying at home, especially on New Year's Eve?
"We're out of soy sauce at home. I'm going out to buy some." Zhai Sheng said seriously, and Qiao Nan almost drooled.
The soy sauce is gone, can Brother Zhai's excuse be a little more ridiculous?
Even if the Zhai family really wasn't prepared for the New Year and ran out of soy sauce, there was no need for Brother Zhai to go buy some, because the aunt hired by the Zhai family didn't have a holiday.
"Is that so? Then when you sent Nan Nan back, did you delay your New Year's Eve dinner?" What made Qiao Nan even more furious was that Qiao Dongliang actually believed Liesheng's excuse. He was as sensitive as a detective just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was as dull as a piece of wood.
Brother Zhai and her father are simply a pair of funny people.
"No," Zhai Sheng said, as if what he said was truer than the truth: "I came out early, and after sending Nan Nan back, I went home and just caught up."
"Thank you so much for last night. I can't remember how many times. Nan Nan is grateful to have a brother like you to take care of her. Otherwise, Nan Nan would have suffered so much injustice and bullying." No matter what, Zhai Sheng helped him send Nan Nan back safely, so he had to thank him. After all, it was his fault as a father.
"Uncle Qiao, you're welcome. My mother likes Nan Nan very much. If my mother comes to see Nan Nan in the future, or asks Nan Nan to come to our house, Uncle Qiao, please don't stand in the way, and don't let Nan Nan avoid our house just to avoid gossip." Zhai Sheng struck while the iron was hot, wanting to seize an opportunity to interact directly with Qiao Nan without being rejected.
"This..." Nan Nan's relationship with the Zhai family is so good that they have to have such close contacts?
"Uncle Qiao, is there anything inconvenient?"
"No, no, okay." Qiao Dongliang shook his head. What's the inconvenience? It just felt a bit weird. Nan Nan had such a good relationship with the Zhai family, but he didn't know anything about it before today.
Looking at the two large bags of things on the ground, Qiao Dongliang was even more confused.
With the development of science and technology and the rapid progress of society, it is not impossible to eat these things during the Chinese New Year, but it is not that easy either, not to mention that they come in such large packages and are not cheap.
These are just a drop in the bucket for the Zhai family, but for the Qiao family, they really cannot prepare so many goods for the New Year.
"That's good, Uncle Qiao, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first." Zhai Sheng had not intended to stay at Qiao's house for long this time, so as not to arouse his mother's suspicion. Now that Qiao Dongliang was back, in order to respect Qiao Nan's opinion, Zhai Sheng knew to stop at the right time, so as not to be too radical and reveal his true colors, which would ruin the future of both parties.
Zhai Sheng has always understood that impatience cannot overcome speed.
"Okay, I'll take you there." Zhai Sheng was about to leave, and Qiao Dongliang somehow breathed a sigh of relief. He personally sent Zhai Sheng to the door, and watched Zhai Sheng get in the car and drive away before he was willing to go back: "Nannan, are you really in such a hurry to come back this time? That's your home after all."
If Nan Nan hadn't met Zhai Sheng last night, if anything happened to Nan Nan, he would never forgive himself in his life.
"Dad, I feel uncomfortable staying in that place." Qiao Nan pursed her lips. "I no longer feel a sense of belonging to that place. Dad, there are some things that I still want. You always think my sister is a good daughter, but to me, she is not a good sister, and mom is not a good mother either. Mom and sister are happy when you go back, but they may not be very happy when I am here. You can't feel it, but I am the person involved, and I know it very clearly. Now I am different from before. It's not that I have no place to go except Qiao's courtyard. I still have this place. So Dad, I can't stay in that place. If others don't welcome me, I can go back to my own home."
She doesn't need to put herself in a difficult position and endure it anymore.
She has another place to live, and this place has nothing to do with her mother. Her mother has to get her consent before entering her territory.
With such a good safe haven, how could Qiao Nan be willing to endure staying in the Qiao family compound and seeing the expressions of Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin.
"No, no..." He knew Ding Jiayi, but Zijin...
"Hasn't your relationship with Zijin always been good? I see you like being with Zijin very much." Qiao Dongliang was confused: "Your sister does make some mistakes, but she is spoiled by your mother, but the relationship between you and Zijin should not be affected by your mother."
"It's not that I like being with my sister, it's that mom asked me to be her follower, to make sure she's not bullied by others. My sister has never been very nice to me, unless she needs something from me, otherwise, she always looks down on me. Dad, think about the last time mom wrongly accused me of stealing the house key."
