Although Old Zhai had no idea how Miao Jing had managed to escape the situation, he was clear that Qi Minlan wouldnt leave the matter lying down just like that given her temper.

If Qi Minlan dared to do such a thing and dared to act like such a hooligan, she would definitely get bolder if no one taught her a lesson in time.

In Old Zhais opinion, s.h.i.+ Peng was the only one who hadnt been brought up astray in the entire s.h.i.+ family.

He didnt have much opinion toward s.h.i.+ Peng, so he definitely would not try to deal with s.h.i.+ Peng.

But it was entirely Old Master s.h.i.+s fault for bringing up a daughter like that.

Old Zhai knew that Old Master s.h.i.+ didnt have much patience but was ambitious. That was why he had tried all methods to get his daughter to marry his son. As such, Old Zhai decided to deal Old Master s.h.i.+ a hard blow in his career.

Because of Old Zhais actions, Old Master s.h.i.+ very gloriously went into retirement without even being able to retain a desk job.

Since he wanted to retire, it was best that he do so cleanly and leave all opportunities to the new generation. He had better prove his intentions with his actions rather than his words.

Old Master s.h.i.+ was stunned. He had been thinking of riding on Old Zhais laurels and progressing even further in his career after becoming in-laws with the Zhai family.

Who would have known that he had been forced to retire just like that?

Old Master s.h.i.+ hid his frustration and anger behind a smile and went to look for Old Zhai. Brother Zhai, has there been a misunderstanding? If there is one, we can clear the air. Besides, our Minlan and Zhai Yaohui

Youd better not say that my son is in a relations.h.i.+p with your daughter. My son has someone in mind. If my future daughter-in-law misunderstands my son and breaks up with him because of your words, what will happen to my son? Ill acknowledge only one person as my daughter-in-law.

Old Zhai had already guessed that Old Master s.h.i.+ would come to look for him and didnt try to hide the truth from him. Dont you know that the two of them have been in a conflict lately? Its because a shameless woman cornered my daughter-in-law and claimed that she was my sons fiance. She even tried to chase my daughter-in-law away. Not only was my daughter-in-law angry, but even I was infuriated when I heard about it. Do you think that we as parents dont know who our sons partner is? Does she think that she, an outsider, knows better than us?

Most importantly, that had been terribly shameless!

Over the past ten years, Qi Minlan had kept quite a few boys by her side. In fact, she seemed to be rather close to all of them.

Since Qi Minlan was already close to other boys, how could she be so shameless as to pester his son?

After all, ten years had gone by. Otherwise, Old Zhai would very well have charged Qi Minlan with having promiscuous relations.h.i.+ps given her behavior.

Over the past ten years, there were many who had been charged with that. Some were true, while others werent. But if he were to charge Qi Minlan with that, it would definitely not be unjustified.

Old Master s.h.i.+ was confused at first, but he slowly understood the situation. Yaohui has a partner?

And it seemed like Zhai Yaohuis partner wasnt his daughter, Minlan.

Of course, Old Master s.h.i.+ was not entirely unaware of the Zhai familys situation.

Old Master s.h.i.+ knew that a young lady from the countryside had moved into the Zhai familys house and had been living there for the past year.

But Old Master s.h.i.+ trusted the Zhai family and knew that it couldnt be an accident that a young lady had moved into their house.

Who would have known that this trust could be broken so easily? Because he had been so trusting, something serious had happened!

Old Master s.h.i.+ thought that that lady was just someone from the countryside who had lost all her relatives.

Could there be any good in getting a girl who had no family to rely on and couldnt even bring any dowry when she got married?

The Zhai family was either blind or stupid. In which way did Minlan lose to that lady that the Zhai family would rather take that lady as a daughter-in-law than his Minlan? They had to be crazy!

But whether Old Zhai was crazy was not the main point.

As a scheming person, Old Master s.h.i.+ knew that Zhai Yaohuis att.i.tude was the key.

The one getting married was Zhai Yaohui and not Old Zhai anyway. It didnt matter whom Old Zhai liked. Only Zhai Yaohuis att.i.tude mattered.

Old Master s.h.i.+ took a deep breath. Is that so? I know that Zhai Yaohui has been busy in the military and has done very well for himself. The next time he returns, Ill see if I can have a chat with him. Times are different now. There are many things that parents cant make the decision in anymore. We should listen to our childrens opinions and thoughts.

Old Zhai smiled. Yes, times are different. Our childrens opinions are the most important. Its just as well. My son has been in the military for almost a year now and hasnt been back since. No matter what, I think he should be returning soon. But he wont be spending much time at home. If you really have anything to tell him, youd better hurry up. Otherwise, you might have to wait for another year. My future daughter-in-law has already been decided, and Yaohui is busy with his career. Its best not to have any more delays. Even a year or two is important for young ladies at the peak of their youth.

Qi Minlan had better get married as soon as possible so that she wouldnt cling to his son or create trouble for Miao Miao.

Old Master s.h.i.+ couldnt find it in him to even force a smile out.

He returned home sullenly. He already had an answer in his heart as to why he had been forced to retire at his age and to hand over his position and opportunities to the younger generation.

But that answer made him infuriated and dissatisfied. Because of that, he called his daughter back.

Dad, why did you suddenly call me back?

Over the past year, Qi Minlan had remained mad at Zhai Yaohui. But she was even angrier that Zhai Yaohui had remained in the military and that she hadnt gotten the chance to meet him.

Qi Minlan wasnt even sure if Zhai Yaohui was still mad at her or whether he simply had no chance to appease her.

Qi Minlan was willing to coax Zhai Yaohui, but she had to have the chance to meet him to do that.

Besides, she couldnt be sure of Zhai Yaohuis att.i.tude even if she were to meet him. On the other hand, Miao Jing was living comfortably in the Zhai familys house as though she was the rightful mistress of the family.

That was why Qi Minlan hadnt been able to hold it in anymore and had impulsively looked for Miao Jing, wanting to get her to leave voluntarily.

As soon as Miao Jing left, Qi Minlan would no longer have to worry about Zhai Yaohui.

Anyway, she would become the only woman by Zhai Yaohuis side once Miao Jing left.. Then, Zhai Yaohui would eventually forgive her no matter how angry he was.
