Chapter 864 Wished to Throw Wei De Out

Wei De seemed to be anxious for the Zhai family to accept Wei Wei. He had gone overboard this time.

“Sister Zhai Hua told me that Wei De asked her to find a good kindergarten for Wei Wei and decide on a good elementary school, junior high school, and high school for him. Not only that, Wei De seems to have asked Sister Zhai Hua if my master can give him an early education in English.”

“Does Zhai Hua look for you often?” Nan Nan seemed to know more about Zhai Hua and Wei De than him.

“Not really. Sister Zhai Hua likes the egg fried rice at my house. Therefore, she will come by occasionally. When she does, she will chat with me about her situation.”

“It is no wonder…” It was no wonder that Zhai Hua canceled her leave briskly previously and went back to the camp. It turned out that it was related to Nan Nan. “Zhai Hua is your sister. You must pay more attention to her. She is the type of simple lady whose intelligence level will drop to zero when she is in love. You must look out for her. If not, it will be a problem in the future.”

Her intelligence level did not drop to zero. It dropped to a negative value.

“Well, in short, Wei De is definitely not suitable for Sister Zhai Hua. Sister Zhai Hua has an idealistic view of love and she is hoping to have someone who loves her for herself. Wei De is after material gains. He does not really love Sister Zhai Hua. He is most probably faking his love for her. This is not what Sister Zhai Hua is after. By the time she discovers it, they will still have to go their separate ways. However, it is difficult to predict when that will be. Wei De is too good at putting up pretenses in front of Sister Zhai Hua.”

Qiao Nan could tell from her conversations with Zhai Hua that Wei De would say honeyed words to her.

Every woman in the world loved to listen to sweet, honeyed words. They were eager to listen to mushy and endearing words.

s.h.i.+ Qing, who was full of antic.i.p.ation for a good show, looked disappointed when Qiao Nan got down from Zhai Sheng’s car. “I thought you wouldn’t be back today. I was about to tell Uncle Qiao to go to sleep. Is Brother Zhai a man? He is finally engaged to you. Why would he allow you to go back home? Is he Liuxia Hui[1]? He doesn’t look like it!”

Whenever Brother Zhai came to the Qiao family’s residence and she was around, Brother Zhai would give her a death stare, telling her to leave them alone to have their private time.

She had thought that Brother Zhai would be like a ravenous wolf that could no longer wait to be intimate with Qiao Nan.

Actually, it was fine as long as it did not result in a pregnancy.

“Haven’t you seen it?” Qiao Nan was surprised.

“What?”

“Wei De carried Wei Wei in his arms and stood at the entrance of the Zhai family’s residence today. He greeted everyone that he saw. Every relative and friend of the Zhai family must have known by now that Sister Zhai Hua’s boyfriend is Wei De.”

“c.r.a.p, when did it happen? Why did I not see such an ‘interesting’ scene?” s.h.i.+ Qing widened her eyes. “Did I go to another Zhai family’s residence? Why is it that everyone has seen it except for Uncle Qiao and me?”

“…” Qiao Nan touched her chin, deep in thought. “You know about Wei De and his relations.h.i.+p with Sister Zhai Hua. You will definitely not have any misunderstanding about their relations.h.i.+p. Perhaps, if you see him, you will say the truth out loud and clear everyone’s doubts and misunderstandings. Therefore, if you were Wei De, would you let yourself be seen by someone who knows you and will thwart your plan?”

s.h.i.+ Qing’s eyes lit up. “Are you saying that Wei De was hiding from me when I came out? It is indeed possible that he was hiding from me!”

She would have known that the child that Wei De carried did not belong to Sister Zhai Hua. He was the child of Wei De’s adopted sister.

“Wei De and Wei Wei were still at the Zhai family’s residence when I left.”

“It is no wonder that you were able to come back today. Wei De is too thick-skinned. You have already come back home, yet he still refuses to leave the Zhai family’s residence. I have to hand it to him to be so thick-skinned.” s.h.i.+ Qing finally understood why Qiao Nan was able to come back home today.

With Wei De around, it was inconvenient for Qiao Nan to stay at the Zhai family’s residence. “Is Wei De still at the house?”

“I don’t know. I set an example for Wei De by leaving. After I left, I have no idea whether he gets the drift and leave as well.” Qiao Nan shrugged her shoulders. “I am so tired. I have perspired a lot. I have to bathe and sleep. You can do as you please.” Qiao Nan yawned. The engagement ceremony was already so tiring. She could not imagine what it would be like when she married Zhai Sheng a few years later.

“The good show is over. I have to go back home.” s.h.i.+ Qing felt very tired being the bridesmaid today.

When Zhai Sheng reached home, he was able to find out the answer to the question that both Qiao Nan and s.h.i.+ Qing did not know the answer to.

Zhai Sheng was not the least surprised that Wei De was still at his house.

However, Wei Wei must have been tired. He lay in Wei De’s arms like a shrimp that curled its body, fast asleep.

“Have you sent Nan Nan back home?” Zhai Yaohui looked grim. He did not know that Wei De could be so tactless. The child was asleep, yet he refused to leave. This was the first time that he saw such shameless ‘guests’.

Zhai Hua took a very long breath. It was as if she was filling her lungs to its maximum capacity. “Wei De, it is late. Bring Wei Wei back with you. The child needs his rest.”

Previously, Wei Wei felt sleepy and grumpy. Wei De simply coaxed the child at the Zhai family’s residence, refusing to leave.

In this case, no one in the Zhai family could make him leave. They could not send them away just because the child was wailing.

If they did that, it would tarnish the Zhai family’s reputation.

Now that Wei Wei was fast asleep, Zhai Hua had no wish to be polite to Wei De.

“…” Wei De had no wish to leave without accomplis.h.i.+ng anything. In the beginning, he felt smug that he was close to accomplis.h.i.+ng his goals. However, in the end, he did not get what he wanted. Wei De did not want to leave under such circ.u.mstances.

Furthermore, Wei De could sense that Zhai Hua was being cold toward him. She was no longer deeply in love and attached to him.

Regardless of the method that he used, he had to think of a way to marry Zhai Hua as soon as possible.

Everyone could tell that Wei De had no intention of leaving.

But it was impossible for Wei De to be the son-in-law of the Zhai family because of a child.

If it was long ago, when Old Master Zhai was still young and had a bad temper, he would have exploded at Wei De’s rascal behavior and grabbed him by the collar, throwing him out of the house.

However, it was the civilized society and Wei De was quite tall. Even though he wished to send him away, Old Master Zhai was getting on in years. He no longer had the strength to do that.
