Zhai Yu stuck out her tongue, feeling that she might have said it in a wrong tone. “Don’t get angry, Mom. I didn’t mean it that way. You know very well that I’ve been too emotional lately, so I may not think through my words before saying them. I’m sorry. Don’t hold it against me. It’s Zhou Xing’s business whatever she does.”

Zhou Xing’s childhood was indeed miserable, but their family had not caused it. She had heard that it was because of her elder aunt’s affair that the couple had gotten a divorce. After they got divorced, it was expected that Zhou Zheng would find a second wife.

So even if her elder aunt was still around, there was no way Zhou Xing’s father would have a close relations.h.i.+p with Zhou Xing after getting remarried to her stepmother. Her previous thoughts were almost similar to that of Zhou Xing! Things could not be taken at the surface level just like that.

Qiao Nan gently knocked her daughter on her head. Thankfully, she did not have a bad temper. Otherwise, San Bao would be getting a good beating from her. What did she mean by letting the matter go and letting Zhou Xing off? The correct way of saying it was Zhou Xing letting their family off. She had not been the one to cause trouble for Zhou Xing. She could not be happier that Zhou Xing had finally come to her senses and had decided to stop clinging to Zhai Xin.

If she were to do anything to Zhou Xing, the relations.h.i.+p between Zhou Xing and Zhai Xin would only get even more complicated, and it would be harder for the two of them to separate. She would never do such a foolish thing.

Qiao Nan was not asking for much. She just hoped that Zhou Xing truly understood everything that had happened and would no longer disturb their family. In the future, she would put everything that had happened between her and Qiao Zijin in the past and mind her own business. She would not hurt Qiao Zijin’s child, and Qiao Zijin’s child should also live her own life. How nice would it be for them to live their own separate lives.

After this incident with Zhou Xing, Qiao Nan realized a problem. The triplets were all grown up and about to enter their third year of university. Their four years in university was going to pa.s.s by in just a blink of an eye. It was Zhou Xing this time. But who knew what kind of star it would be the next time? The children were all grown up. There was no running away from relations.h.i.+p problems in the future.

There was bound to be a handsome young man who would marry her daughter and two gentle and beautiful young ladies who would marry Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin. Qiao Nan only hoped that her three children’s relations.h.i.+ps would be as smooth-sailing as her own had been. She hoped that there would be less pain and hurt and more happiness.

Seeing it that way, the incident between Zhou Xing and Zhai Xin was no big deal at all. After all, Zhai Xin had never fallen for Zhou Xing and had only treated Zhou Xing as his younger sister. When Zhai Xin really took a fancy to a young lady and there were troubles in their relations.h.i.+p, that would be when Qiao Nan would truly need to feel worried and uneasy.

“That’s the disadvantage of giving birth to a son.” When Fang Fang came over to visit the Qiao family, she had heard about the incident regarding Zhou Xing and had chatted with Qiao Nan about it. “Think about how hard it was for me to teach our Gao Feng to walk, talk, and even cook. There’s a popular saying nowadays. It takes a mother five years to teach her son to wear his pants but only a minute for his wife to pull it off.”

In front of their wives, their mother was nothing.

“Have you been spending too much time with Gao Yan recently? You’re running your mouth. Besides, Gao Feng is not like Da Bao or Er Bao. Isn’t it too early for you to be discussing this topic?” She thought about Fang Fang’s son. Qiao Nan remembered that Gao Feng was still in high school. He was still young!

As for worrying about a daughter-in-law, Fang Fang could think about it in a few years’ time.

“Don’t even talk about it!” Fang Fang’s face was flushed and she slapped the sofa in anger. “I’m in the education sector. I’ve raised other people’s children so well. The children in my cla.s.s are so obedient. None of them have gotten into an early relations.h.i.+p. But my own son has just entered high school, and he’s already got himself a ‘wife’! I didn’t even know about it! Actually, Gao Feng had already been together with the pretty girls in his cla.s.s since elementary school! When I found out about it, I got so mad that my blood pressure shot up!”

He was only in high school. What wife? Did he even know what a wife was?

To Fang Fang, her son was a hooligan. Even she had only started dating upon entering university. Gao Yan had only gotten a girlfriend after she had given her permission. She had not gotten into an early relations.h.i.+p with Gao Yan, so why had her son matured so quickly?

Fang Fang felt that Gao Feng was not mentally matured. The problem was that he was physiologically matured. He could do anything that he was supposed to do. What would she do if her son got into an accident with a young lady and went out of line?

At the thought of such a situation, Fang Fang very much wanted to resign from her job as a teacher. She could not even teach her own son well. It would be best if she did not get other people’s children into trouble in the future. If she brought other people’s obedient children up to be like Gao Feng, she would really have to be blamed.

Qiao Nan patted Fang Fang on the shoulder. “It’s not as serious as you think. You should have faith in Gao Feng. Don’t you know that some men have glib tongues? Gao Yan’s a businessman, so being a smooth talker and having a high EQ is crucial. Gao Feng’s your son, so it’s not at all strange that he inherited Gao Yan’s high EQ.”

Fang Fang felt that Gao Yan had started dating late in life. But the way Qiao Nan saw it, that was not the case at all.

Who could have become enlightened and started dating earlier than Gao Yan? Gao Yan had not started dating late in life. It was that Gao Yan had fallen in love way too early. He had identified Fang Fang as his lover at an extremely young age. That was why there were no other girls who attracted Gao Yan, and neither was Gao Yan prepared to gain useless experience with girls apart from Fang Fang.

Had she not seen Gao Yan surpa.s.s uncle and auntie and make a life plan for Fang Fang? It was because Fang Fang had been stubborn and bore a grudge because of always being compared with Gao Yan. That was why she kicked up a huge fuss and insisted on studying at Ping Cheng High School. Otherwise, even though the two of them were not of the same age, they would have still been schoolmates.

Fang Fang had been living right under Gao Yan’s nose, and Gao Yan was able to find out about Fang Fang’s movements and resolve those ‘problems’ right away.

In that way, Gao Feng was definitely Gao Yan’s son. Both father and son were enlightened early on in life, and their characters were the spitting image of each other. Compared to Gao Yan who had identified Fang Fang as his own wife, there was no big deal now that Gao Feng was just calling someone his wife.

“Don’t you know that young people nowadays are impulsive and have poor self-control? But I must say that this has never happened to my students.”
