Chapter 880 Let’s Meet Her Next Time

“Sure, grandpa. I will go to sleep first. Goodbye.” s.h.i.+ Qing ended the call after saying her greeting.

Grandma Feng said softly, “Isn’t Qing Qing angry that we eavesdropped on her conversation?”

“Not angry.” Old Master Feng was certain. “But she should have been angry.” Qing Qing did not like this kind of behavior. “Alright, Cheng Cheng, Qing Qing is asleep. You should sleep too. You are already a mother, yet you are not as gracious as your child.”

“I am relieved that Qing Qing is not angry with me. Dad, Mom, I will go to sleep. Both of you should sleep as well. You are usually asleep by now.” Feng Cheng looked happy now that she had set her heart at ease.

Grandma Feng felt at ease as well. “Old man, let’s sleep.”

Unlike Feng Cheng and Grandma Feng who had set their hearts at ease, Old Master Feng narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.

He lay down on the bed and made a random comment. “If Qing Qing wants to bring the young lady to our house next time, just let her do so.”

Grandma Feng, who was about to drift off to sleep, sat up, shocked. “Old man, did you say wrongly or have I heard you wrong? Why will you allow such a young lady to our house? I disagree.”

Qing Qing was a good child, unlike other people who were scheming. She could not feel rea.s.sured that Qing Qing was friends with someone who was so complicated.

Old Master Feng took off his s.h.i.+rt and lay on the bed. He did not say anything else, ignoring Grandma Feng who was sitting on the bed.

Grandma Feng could tell from her husband’s att.i.tude that he was serious. There was no room for discussion.

Old Master Feng had years of experience. He understood that one could not judge someone based on their looks.

It was not accurate to judge someone based on their looks, and neither was it right to judge someone based on what other people said.

Old Master Feng could see the changes in his granddaughter as well as her firm att.i.tude. He felt that it would be worth it to get to know Qiao Nan better.

old Master Feng was not really fond of Qiu Chenxi. If his precious granddaughter was not seen carrying the bags for someone else today, he would not have such a strong dislike for Qiao Nan.

Now that he had calmed down slightly and his granddaughter did not kick up a fuss over what happened today, Old Master Feng knew that it must be under Qiao Nan’s influence that his granddaughter could be so reasonable and calm. She could not have sorted out her thoughts by herself.

However, he did not have any interaction with Qiao Nan. Hence, he could not judge her person. Therefore, he did not tell his wife what was on his mind.

Since Old Master Feng had already said so, even if Grandma Feng did not understand his intention, she could not go against his wishes.

Furthermore, Grandma Feng knew that Qiao Nan would be taking part in the long period of military training with s.h.i.+ Qing.

n.o.body knew if s.h.i.+ Qing would bring Qiao Nan to the Feng family’s residence or not. Grandma Feng did not wish to quarrel with her husband because of something that might not take place. Therefore, she lay on the bed and drifted off to sleep.

Qiao Nan had no idea that the Feng family was troubled because of her. She had no intention of gaining their approval or clearing up the misunderstanding. However, those around s.h.i.+ Qing could tell that Qiao Nan had a positive influence on her. Although Qiao Nan did not bother to speak up for herself, discerning people would be able to tell the truth from the lies.

After the admission exercise was completed, the new batch of freshmen had to go through military training.

Before the start of the military training, there was a minor incident in the school. Every student who stayed in the dormitory had to go through door access to get into the dormitory.

The three roommates in Qiao Nan’s dormitory had too much fun outside. They must have drunk too much wine and returned late to the dormitory. Moreover, they also caused a ruckus when they returned to their dormitory.

Students had to go through door access to get to the dormitory. However, since the school term had yet to start, the life counselor had intended to turn a blind eye to those students who were late.

But the three ladies had too much to drink. They were not fearful of being late and they kicked up a ruckus at school. The life counselor told them to keep their volumes down and to hurry back to the dormitory to wash and rest. But having been unbridled from having too much wine, Tang Jiayun shouted back at the life counselor without any fear of disturbing other students.

The three of them made such a din that the life counselor had no choice but to be strict with them and show them who was in charge. If she was lenient with them, they might not be fearful of her and would not listen to her instruction in the future!

One could imagine what happened thereafter.

School had just started and the three roommates from Qiao Nan’s dormitory had become ‘famous’ in school for being rude and impolite to the life counselor. They became widely-known figures in the female dormitory.

During the military training, Tang Jiayun and the two of them hung their heads in embarra.s.sment. They trailed behind Qiao Nan as if they were her tails.

Yu Xiaoxiao and Lü Yan had learned their lesson. They stopped being so close to Tang Jiayun. Instead, they were more willing to hang out with Qiao Nan.

“Qiao Nan, the weather is so hot, yet we still have to go through military training. Don’t you think that the school is too inhumane?” Tang Jiayun behaved herself during the military training. She would join her roommates and partic.i.p.ate in school activities with them. “I will be a few shades darker after the military training.”

Tang Jiayun felt like crying at the thought that she would become short, ugly, and had a dark complexion.

“You will become fair after winter.” Qiao Nan hydrated herself. “Every batch of freshmen has to go through military training during the same time of the year.” The school did not give anyone preferential treatment. What was there for Tang Jiayun to complain about?

“Forget it.” Tang Jiayun knew that the school would not change the timing for the military training no matter how upset she was. However, she was unhappy and wanted to find someone to complain to. But Qiao Nan was indifferent to her complaints. Tang Jiayun was unhappy that she had no one to rant to.

Women would forge friends.h.i.+ps through gossiping and they would also sever ties because of gossip.

There was nothing to gossip about between Qiao Nan and Tang Jiayun. Therefore, there was no way that they could be close to each other.

“Look, do you think what I said is true?”

“Yes, it seems like it. The instructor seems to be sneaking glances at Qiao Nan.” Yu Xiaoxiao and Lü Yan were whispering to each other. “I notice that the instructor has been casting several glances in our direction. But, are you sure he is looking at Qiao Nan?” She only knew that the instructor was indeed looking toward their cla.s.s. However, she was not sure who the instructor was looking at.
