Chapter 2535: Miao Jing and Zhai Yaohui (36)

Atlas Studios Atlas Studios

The Shi family wouldn’t fancy ordinary women. There was no chance at all that they would fancy someone like Miao Jing.

“Miao Miao doesn’t have a strong character. However, Uncle Shi has the final say in the family. Let’s not mention that Shi Peng has no feelings for Miao Miao now. If he really fancies and likes Miao Miao, but Uncle Shi has any opinions about her and despises her, Miao Miao would have no way to retaliate and Shi Peng can’t protect Miao Miao. If Shi Peng were to protect her, the Shi family would definitely kick up a fuss, and Miao Miao wouldn’t be left with a good reputation.”

If Miao Jing were to get together with Shi Peng, Zhai Yaohui couldn’t say a single reason why that would be good.

On the contrary, if Grandma Zhai were to ask him why the two of them were inappropriate together, Zhai Yaohui felt that as long as he was given another three minutes of thinking time, he could come up with a lot of reasons.

“Based on your words, Miao Miao can only find someone from her own factory? Alright, if Miao Miao finds someone of a similar background, our family can always protect her.”

All the young men in the army, including Shi Peng, were under Zhai Yaohui’s control. However, the male colleagues in Miao Miao’s factory weren’t.

When Miao Miao really had a target in mind, she wanted to see if Yaohui would still be as stubborn as now.

The mother-son pair was chatting happily and completely forgot about Qi Minlan.

Qi Minlan cried and left. At first, she was just pretending for the Zhai family to see.

Qi Minlan came knocking on the door today. Based on Grandma Zhai’s and Zhai Yaohui’s sudden change of attitude, how would Qi Minlan really give up so easily? Don’t even think about it.

No matter what, she had to continue to put up a stiff resistance, right?

As such, Qi Minlan didn’t run too far away.

As long as Grandma Zhai let Zhai Yaohui chase after her, he could reach Qi Minlan in a few steps.

Qi Minlan’s speed gave Zhai Yaohui some leeway to chase after her. Who knew that the conversation between Grandma Zhai and Zhai Yaohui didn’t even mean to leave her any face?

Before she ran far, she heard Auntie Zhai told Zhai Yaohui that as long as she left, her heart felt more comfortable and she no longer needed the doctor.

Did Auntie Zhai feel uncomfortable because of her appearance?

What a joke!

When she heard how Grandma Zhai addressed Miao Jing as Miao Miao so intimately to Zhai Yaohui, Qi Minlan nearly vomited blood.

What else could Qi Minlan not understand now? The entire Zhai family had changed, including Zhai Yaohui and Grandma Zhai.

These people liked Miao Jing, who was from the countryside. They treated her as their treasure.

Everything she once owned in the Zhai family now belonged to Miao Jing.

Upon thinking that Grandma Zhai was really concerned about Miao Jing and was afraid that she would be bullied, Qi Minlan’s eyes became bloodshot as she left with heavy footsteps.

“What’s wrong? Why are you so angry? Who offended you?”

What was rare was that Zhai Yaohui was home and Qi Minlan’s brother, Shi Peng, was also at home.

Upon thinking that Zhai Yaohui had returned a day earlier than him, Shi Peng asked, “A conflict with Zhai Yaohui?”

Speaking of Zhai Yaohui, Shi Peng really wanted to persuade his sister.

They were family. As such, no matter how Qi Minlan used to play, although Shi Peng disagreed, he didn’t say much. He was afraid that if he interfered too much, Qi Minlan would become more rebellious.

His sister wasn’t young anymore. She should grow up and become more sensible. She shouldn’t do things that she shouldn’t do. Wasn’t it good to lead a good and honest life?

It wasn’t easy to find an outstanding man like Zhai Yaohui. It was his sister’s blessing to have met Zhai Yaohui.

However, no amount of blessing could withstand one squandering. If his sister played too much, she might really lose Zhai Yaohui.

Who knew that before Shi Peng could say his words of persuasion, Qi Minlan exploded first? “Don’t mention Zhai Yaohui to me again. I disallow you to say his name. Zhai Yaohui? Who is he? He actually dared to abandon me? A few years ago, I had boyfriends other than him! He didn’t dump me. I didn’t want him first! Brother, aren’t you aiming for a promotion recently? Brother, you must win. You must be more outstanding than him and suppress him!”

As long as her brother was better than Zhai Yaohui, Zhai Yaohui wouldn’t be seen as outstanding.

Shi Peng was stunned. “Minlan, what’s wrong? What happened between you and Zhai Yaohui?”

It seemed that it wasn’t a simple matter like throwing tantrums.

Qi Minlan cried. “The Zhai family hid a vixen from the countryside. They want her and no longer want me. Brother, Zhai Yaohui said it had nothing to do with me. He doesn’t want me anymore. He only treats me as a sister. Brother, I’m so sad. You have to help me take revenge.”

“Take revenge?” What kind of revenge?

Indeed, Shi Peng knew that there was another person in the Zhai family. However, he never felt that this person would become an obstacle between Zhai Yaohui and his sister.

Who would have known that…

“That woman snatched everything away from me. Zhai Yaohui’s ungrateful. After having that vixen, he forgot about our engagement. That vixen is a third party. Zhai Yaohui abandoned me. He betrayed me. You can’t watch me being bullied and not care about me. You have to help me get justice.”

Shi Peng asked, “Have you held a banquet with Zhai Yaohui yet?”

Engagement?

Shi Peng admitted that the parents of both families were optimistic about Minlan and Zhai Yaohui being together. However, it was just a tacit attitude without clear words.

Now that Shi Peng heard Qi Minlan talk about an engagement, he became different.

If his sister was really engaged with Zhai Yaohui, then what Zhai Yaohui did was indeed unkind. He had done something sorry to his sister.

As Minlan’s brother, he had to help seek justice from Zhai Yaohui for Minlan. However, why didn’t he know that they were engaged?

“…No.”

“Then, did Dad and Mom talk to Old Zhai about the two of you?”

“…No.” Qi Minlan flew into a rage out of humiliation. “Brother, why are you asking me about things that didn’t happen before? These aren’t important now. What is important is that Zhai Yaohui had another woman behind my back. He did something sorry to me! You have to help me take revenge!”

Shi Peng could neither laugh nor cry. “Both parties’ parents didn’t talk about the two of you. You didn’t hold a wedding banquet either. Then, did you and Zhai Yaohui talk about marriage before?”

“…”

“Is that a no as well? Since these three situations didn’t happen, how are you engaged with Zhai Yaohui? Since when did he do something sorry to you?”

If Zhai Yaohui was really in the wrong, he wouldn’t let him off.

However, he also couldn’t make Zhai Yaohui a scapegoat for something that didn’t exist.action
