Chapter 808 You… Have Agreed

Qiu Chenxi could not even handle Zhai Sheng, let alone an additional person-Zhai Yaohui. There was basically no hope for her. “As I have said earlier, there are only two roads ahead for your dad. First, confess. Second, arrest.”

If Qiu Qin would like to reduce the term of imprisonment, he had better be honest.

If he were to try his luck, then he would only increase his jail term by two to three years.

On the account that the two families frequently interacted with each other in the past, Zhai Sheng could only provide the Qiu family with this ‘special care’.

“We will end the conversation here. It is up to the Qiu family now. Whether it will work or not… Certainly, there will be an outcome when the summer vacation ends.” The utmost priority at this point in time was to safeguard the cultural relics. Afterward, it would be time for the government to settle the scores with Qiu Qin.

Without looking at Qiu Chenxi’s reaction, Zhai Sheng paid for the bill and left.

After Zhai Sheng left, Qiu Chenxi remained in her seat for a very long time. The sky had turned dark but she had not regained her senses.

At this moment, Qiu Chenxi regretted it very much. If she had known that laying her hands on Qiao Nan would make Zhai Sheng so furious that he would keep such a tight watch on the Qiu family, she would not have allowed the downfall of the Qiu family just because of one Qiao Nan.

Now, well, she had provoked the king of the mountain.

How was she going to explain to her father when she was back? Was she to tell him that after she found out that Qiao Nan was her rival-in-love, she used all the money from him to deal with her, and as a result, triggered a major crisis in the Qiu family?

If that was truly the case, regardless of whether that mistress existed, her father would most probably be unwilling to acknowledge her as his daughter anymore.

It was because of her the first time. It was also because of her the second time.

At this juncture, not to mention Qiu Qin, even Qiu Chenxi hated herself to the core for her arrogance and having disregarded the consequences of her actions.

It was obvious that when she was not certain that Qiao Nan was her rival-in-love before, her father’s position in Ping Cheng had already been stripped off after she hired people to teach Qiao Nan a lesson.

Actually, from that occasion, she should have been able to tell how much Brother Zhai cared about Qiao Nan. How could she be so foolish and make the same mistake twice?!

If this matter was not resolved properly, the Qiu family would most likely not be able to get up again!

After thinking for some time, Qiu Chenxi took out her cell phone and called Zhai Sheng.

“You’ve thought about it?”

“Brother Zhai, aren’t you curious about how I found out about your relations.h.i.+p with Qiao Nan? You can ask Qiao Nan. As Qiao Nan’s grades have always been very good, when she admitted to me that she was the one, I did not even believe her. I didn’t believe her even when she confessed to me personally. How did I come to believe it then?”

Didn’t Zhai Sheng care very much about Qiao Nan? There was a person who wished to scheme against Qiao Nan at all times hiding by Zhai Sheng’s side. She did not believe that Zhai Sheng would not be concerned.

“Conditions?” Qiu Chenxi would not render this help for nothing.

“Regarding the issue, what is the best that you can do to help?” She had to think of a way to preserve the strengths of the Qiu family as much as possible.

“Three years.” The most that he could do was to help Qiu Qin be released from prison three years earlier.

Qiu Chenxi gritted her teeth. “I don’t want these three years. I just have one request. My mom and my money have nothing to do with the Qiu family, so…’

If her father had to go to jail, she would not be able to protect him anymore. It was not possible for him to resume his position after he was released from jail.

While she would lose a father who was a government official, she could not lose her mother and her money simultaneously.

Qiu Chenxi had already spent most of the money that Qiu Qin gave her previously. Nevertheless, soon after, Qiu Chenxi got another 100,000 yuan from Qiu Qin again.

That 100,000 yuan was now very important to Qiu Chenxi. It was so important that she could buy a good house when she returned to Ping Cheng. She would still be quite rich thereafter.

Furthermore, Qi Minlan was richer than Qiu Chenxi.

“In that case, I can give you another month. Do you know what you need to do?” After thinking, Zhai Sheng compromised.

As long as he did not need to help Qiu Qin get away from the crime and the punishment that he deserved, Zhai Sheng could promise Qiu Chenxi other matters and delay the time.

“I know.”

“Then, what’s your answer?”

“Wei De, Sister Zhai Hua’s boyfriend.”

Indeed, it was him!

Zhai Sheng did not say a word. There was not even the sound of a pant due to anger. Qiu Chenxi asked sullenly, “You’ve guessed it long ago?”

“There are not many people who know about my relations.h.i.+p with Nan Nan.” Among them, Wei De had the worst character. He had also been on the worst terms with Nan Nan.

“It’s your business that you have guessed it. But I did give you a certain answer. I have known you for so many years. I believe in your integrity. In order to prove that I’m telling the truth, I will send something to the Zhai family tomorrow. Remember to receive it personally. If this item lands in Sister Zhai Hua’s hands, don’t blame me then.”

“Fine, I’m hanging up.” After getting the answer that he expected, Zhai Sheng’s voice did not sound affected but the emotional impact on him was great.

Today, Zhai Sheng utilized the diversion tactic when he met up with Qiu Chenxi.

If he had taken the initiative to ask Qiu Chenxi the question, given Qiu Chenxi’s character, she would not know what was good for her. She would ask for the sky as she would think that he was asking her for a favor.

On the contrary, if Qiu Chenxi was the one who used this truth as a bargaining chip to initiate a transaction with him, then he could control the extent of the transaction.

In the face of the current situation, Qiu Chenxi did not have any other choice. She could only use this as a bargaining chip.

The next day, Zhai Sheng did not leave the house of the Zhai family. It was one of the rare times where he very patiently stayed at home. Miao Jing felt strange. “People say that children are like birds after they grow up. They will fly outside when their wings harden. The situation in our family is so rare, though?”

Zhai Yaohui flung his newspapers. “It’s very seldom that our son keeps you company at home for the whole day. Isn’t that good?”

“Good, of course, it’s good. But…” Her son was already of this age. If he really had spare time, he should also get to know a few friends, especially female ones, if he was not going to accompany his young girlfriend.

When you were in love, of course you have to find someone of a compatible age.

Zhai Yaohui glanced at Miao Jing so that she would think before speaking. “Think more about the one that Hua Hua is with now.”

“…” At this juncture, Miao Jing could not bring herself to speak despite having so much to say.

Miao Jing was really scared of that Wei De.

If her son were to break up with his young girlfriend and find someone like Wei De, Miao Jing felt that she would consider dying.

Given that when Zhai Sheng was not in the army, he was always home at night and had never spent a night outside, Miao Jing had nothing else to say.

She could only keep mum. However, was this matter decided then?

Miao Jing sat down beside Zhai Yaohui. “You… have agreed?” Actually, Zhai Yaohui’s expectations of the two children’s partners were quite high. For example, Zhai Yaohui had never approved of or looked up to Wei De.

Nevertheless, judging from his earlier words, Zhai Yaohui seemed to have approved the relations.h.i.+p between Zhai Sheng and the young lady.
