1082 It Turned Out That You Are Also a Fool

Zhu Baoguo regretted more than once why he was not enlightened earlier.

He heard that Zhai Sheng got to know Xiao Qiao before he did. The problem was that he was the one who spent more time with Xiao Qiao by her side!

Zhai Sheng only met Xiao Qiao a few times a year but he was cla.s.smates with Xiao Qiao. Furthermore, they were in the same cla.s.s for a few years!

There was a saying that one would enjoy the benefits of a favorable position. In terms of physical distance, he was closer to Xiao Qiao. They also spent more time together, but in the end, Zhai Sheng, this old cow, still s.n.a.t.c.hed her away. At the thought of this, Zhu Baoguo spurned his former self who was such a blockhead.

The pair was going to hold their wedding banquet soon and he could only watch on. Qiao Nan looked so happy and contented. As such, the domineering Zhu Baoguo dared not act according to his wishes and do anything that would wreck Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng’s wedding.

This was because he knew that Qiao Nan would definitely feel very upset if he did that. The thing that he wanted most was to give Qiao Nan happiness.

He wanted to give her happiness but the happiness would not come from him. Zhu Baoguo felt so unfortunate to have actually encountered such a matter.

Most tragically, he had wanted to be the groom but eventually became the maternal family of the bride because of his own father!

When Zhai Sheng came to fetch the bride, he still had to stand in the way during the gatecras.h.i.+ng. At the thought of this, the fury in Zhu Baoguo’s heart grew. He did not know how he could vent his frustration to make himself feel better.

Unfortunately, the person who caused this situation and did him in was that biological father of his. If it were someone else, he would make that person suffer badly.

The problem was that this matter was arranged by his one and only biological father. No matter how domineering Dictator Zhu was, he dared not beard the lion in his den or lay hands on his own father.

The aggrieved Zhu Baoguo simply hid and refused to appear before Qiao Nan. He was afraid that he would embarra.s.s himself if he did not manage to restrain himself.

If they were not destined to be together, and Xiao Qiao was only destined to be his younger sister, he would have to protect Xiao Qiao’s impression of him in her heart. He would not act up!

Qiao Nan did not know that Zhu Baoguo had been hiding. She did not see Zhu Baoguo in the house of the Zhu family but she saw w.a.n.g Yang.

w.a.n.g Yang looked different from the then bright and cheery teenager a few years ago. He had become taller but also thinner.

He was standing there quietly, looking especially gloomy and sinister. It was as if he was a poisonous snake, hiding in a dark corner and waiting for a chance to give a surprise strike. He made people have goose b.u.mps all over.

w.a.n.g Yang walked out slowly. “I really didn’t expect you to be so capable. Congratulations.” In the past, he had underestimated Qiao Nan. He had thought that just one Chen Jun could deal with her.

Who would have known that Qiao Nan did not fancy Chen Jun at all? Qiao Nan was more ambitious than him. She actually targeted Zhai Sheng.

He did not even dare to have any ideas on Zhai Sheng, yet without a hitch, Qiao Nan was going to be married to Zhai Sheng very soon. w.a.n.g Yang hated Qiao Nan but he was also convinced of Qiao Nan’s ability. “If I had known that you are so formidable, I would not have chosen to collaborate with that fool, Chen Jun, in the past.”

An ordinary woman in the southern district of the quad was going to be married to Zhai Sheng, the most promising man in the northern district of the quad.

He and Qiao Nan were one of a kind.

If he had discovered this earlier, his relations.h.i.+p with Qiao Nan would not have been so sour. After so long, he did not get anything belonging to the Zhu family.

When she heard w.a.n.g Yang cla.s.sify her in the same category as himself, Qiao Nan frowned but she did not wish to explain.

“You will become Cinderella after you are married to Zhai Sheng. How is it? Should we shake hands and bury the hatchet? We may have a chance to work together in the future.” w.a.n.g Yang crossed his arms in front of his chest. His scheming eyes were looking at Qiao Nan.

At this moment, he would benefit much more by collaborating with Qiao Nan instead of plotting against her.

w.a.n.g Yang was a smart person. Hence, he could let unhappy bygones be bygones and suggest a collaboration. “Qiao Nan, you’re a smart woman. You should understand how unreliable man is. Although a military marriage is protected by law, it is just a typical situation. The Zhai family is not the average people. Hence, typical situations do not apply to them. You don’t have enough bargaining chips. You may marry gloriously now, but you may become multiple times more dest.i.tute in the future. You should buy yourself some insurance.”

Qiao Nan picked up an apple and started peeling it. “If I tell you that the reason I am together with Brother Zhai is not as complicated as you think, you probably won’t believe me. To me, it is not important whether you believe it or not. However, you have to know something. All this while, I don’t like to dance with wolves or ask a tiger for his hide. I am very timid and am afraid of gambling.”

If she were to collaborate with w.a.n.g Yang, she was fearful that she would be betrayed by him and even lose her life eventually.

“Also, one more thing. It is not necessary for me to collaborate with you even if my marriage with Brother Zhai is not as safe as a typical military marriage. To put it bluntly, if it reaches that stage, the one who requests for divorce may not necessarily be Brother Zhai.” To her, being alive was more important than anything else.

If there was truly an issue with the relations.h.i.+p between Brother Zhai and her and it was so serious, there might be certain things that Brother Zhai was willing to tolerate but she would certainly not.

This matter had happened to Chen Jun before. Qiao Nan had already experienced it once. As such, if it were Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan still would not change her att.i.tude. She would still resolutely choose to divorce or break up.

w.a.n.g Yang narrowed his eyes. “You are also a woman who values love above everything else?” Alright, he had overestimated Qiao Nan. Qiao Nan was not as rational and smart as he had imagined her to be. “It turned out that you’re no different from other women.”

She had been chastised by w.a.n.g Yang but she was not angry. She looked at w.a.n.g Yang. “Yes, I am no different from other women. Since I am willing to marry someone, the only reason is that the other party is someone that I want. To me, the other additional conditions that you care about are, in fact, not that important.”

Qiao Nan did not find it surprising at all that w.a.n.g Yang would have such thoughts.

Out of a hundred people who heard about the situation of Brother Zhai and her, ninety-nine of them would certainly think that she was marrying Brother Zhai because of Brother Zhai’s good family background and promising future.

However, Qiao Nan knew in her heart that she was willing to get married at such a young age not because of all these conditions. It was purely because of Zhai Sheng as an individual and the Zhai family.

“Hahaha.” w.a.n.g Yang sneered continuously. “Take it that I didn’t come. Ignore what I said to you earlier.”

d.a.m.n, he had thought that Qiao Nan was a smart woman, and that was why she could receive the affirmation of the Zhai family and become Zhai Sheng’s wife.

Who would have known that she was an extremely foolish woman? Fortune favors the fools. Most likely, she could be married to Zhai Sheng because of this reason.

w.a.n.g Yang had never agreed with that sort of view of Qiao Nan. He only felt that this kind of mindset would only appear in books or mediocre people.

“Sure.” Qiao Nan did not explain anything. She allowed w.a.n.g Yang to look at her as if she was an idiot.
