994 Not Owing It to Anyone

“Hahaha…” At the sight of Xu Shengnan fleeing, Qiao Nan was pleased and smiling. Everyone had a time whereby they went rogue. As long as she was more rogue than the other party, she would not be the one running away.

Of course, most of the time, this method would only work well on the members of the same gender. If you were to use it on the opposite gender, you would be playing with fire.

After settling the paperwork, Qiao Nan’s excited mood did not subside immediately.

Vice President Xu had mentioned that the first cla.s.s for joining the party was most likely going to start soon!

Qiao Nan pinched her thigh with all her might. It was so painful that she continuously gasped for cold air thereafter. “I’m really the first of my cohort to become a party member?”

After confirming that it was real and not a dream, looking up at the sky, Qiao Nan laughed loudly three times.

After she let out the steam, Qiao Nan tidied up her slightly messy hair. She even straightened her s.h.i.+rt and held her head up and chest high before heading to the library.

After Qiao Nan left, Feng Meng walked out from behind a big tree with a bizarre expression. He was staring straight at the back of Qiao Nan, who was leaving.

At the thought of what he just saw, the look in Feng Meng’s eyes kept changing.

Although he had not interacted much with Qiao Nan, that comical, ridiculous, and slightly moronic behavior surprised him. Nevertheless, he felt that it was very… refres.h.i.+ng and special.

Each time the Feng family requested s.h.i.+ Qing to invite Qiao Nan to the house of the Feng family, Qiao Nan never appeared. She declined the invitations flatly.

Every time he thought of this behavior of Qiao Nan, Feng Meng had always believed that Qiao Nan would have a very haughty and sn.o.bbish image.

In Feng Meng’s social circle, he had seen many rich men’s daughters with such character. To Feng Meng, this sort was the most annoying.

He was very clear that they were not truly high and mighty. They deliberately raised their own worth as they felt that the people that they came into contact with could not give them what they wanted at all.

However, if they were to meet someone that had what they wanted, no matter how haughty they were, they would become gentle and accommodating little women who would restrain their tempers.

This kind of high and mighty behavior was not only pretentious but also disgusting.

Feng Meng had seen too many of such pretentious women.

Feng Meng had never met or interacted with a woman like Qiao Nan, who cared little about her own image. She was so ‘genuine’ that she was a little ‘ugly’.

As he thought about his observation of Qiao Nan from the past few days and also other people’s opinions of Qiao Nan, the look in Feng Meng’s eyes as he glanced in Qiao Nan’s direction became very strange and complex.

So as to speak, Qiao Nan’s bad, cold, and aloof temper was purely targeted at the Feng family.

In front of other ordinary people, Qiao Nan was, in fact, an ordinary young lady who was very easy-going albeit rather chatty.

What was the reason?

Feng Meng could not figure this out. Qiao Nan was considered quite easy-going when she was with others. Why did her att.i.tude become so stubborn when it came to the Feng family? There was no room for negotiations at all.

Could it be that Qiao Nan’s disregard of other people’s faces was specially used to deal with and boycott the Feng family?

After a long time, Feng Meng, who placed great importance on both business and interests, still could not figure out why Qiao Nan was so friendly to these students who would not be of any help to her future. On the other hand, she treated the Feng family so coldly. What would Qiao Nan gain from doing this?

What was Qiao Nan’s reason for doing such a ridiculous thing?

This was the first time that Feng Meng, whose brains were currently in knots, discovered that understanding a woman’s thoughts was more difficult than negotiating for a major business project and earning a big sum of money.

“h.e.l.lo.” Feng Meng’s cell phone rang and he picked it up.

“It’s me.”

“Uncle.”

“Yes. How’s your interaction with Qiao Nan? Do you know where Qing Qing is?” Feng Liang was looking impatiently at the files in front of him. He was pulling an extremely long face.

The Zhai family of three had left but the impact that they had brought did not completely disappear.

Feng Liang, who had already received the Zhai family’s warning, was in a very bad mood. The Zhai family was really so protective of their calf.

The Feng family had not even done anything to Qiao Nan, yet the Zhai family was so domineering. They were settling scores with them without giving any reason.

If the Zhai family were to do that openly, Feng Liang still had a chance to resolve the trouble that the Zhai family caused to him. Unfortunately, Zhai Sheng was very subtle in this.

Feng Liang, who could not avoid the problem, could only find ways to minimize the harm and losses.

The Feng family had been completely stuck in the problem that Zhai Sheng had created for them. When they finally had the time and mood to think of other things, Feng Cheng could no longer reach s.h.i.+ Qing when she wanted to do so.

When s.h.i.+ Qing finally picked up the phone call, without further ado, s.h.i.+ Qing’s opening speech was, “Mom, you don’t need to keep calling the small courtyard of Elder Lin anymore. I am no longer staying there.”

“Where are you staying then? Qiao Nan actually chased you out!” Feng Cheng raised her voice. That annoying tone seemed as if she could not wait to look for Qiao Nan and fight with her so that she could help her daughter deal with Qiao Nan.

“How is that possible? Qiao Nan is very good to me. Why would she chase me away?”

“Then, why are you no longer staying at the small courtyard of Elder Lin? Regardless of whether Qiao Nan chased you away, you should stay put in the house with ease. That is the small courtyard of Elder Lin. It doesn’t belong to Qiao Nan alone. If you can no longer stay there, why don’t you come back and stay here?”

She did not believe that Qing Qing would move out of the Elder Lin’s courtyard if she did not have any conflict with Qiao Nan.

“Mom, aren’t you amusing? That is Elder Lin’s small courtyard, not mine. On what basis should I stay there with ease? Not to mention that right from the beginning, Elder Lin only wanted to lend the small courtyard to Qiao Nan, his little disciple. It’s all thanks to Qiao Nan that I could stay there.” Her mother had been taking it for granted.

“You don’t need to rely on her. Come back and stay at the house of the Feng family. It’s not as if our house doesn’t have a car or chauffeur. Next time, I can get our family chauffeur to send you to and from school every day.” It was fine if Qing Qing did not stay there. It was just a small courtyard. She did not care. “Qing Qing, listen to Mom. Quickly move back home. That small courtyard of Elder Lin is located near Peking University but our family has a chauffeur. It is not an issue if our house is located further. If you are afraid that you need to wake up early, you can sleep in the car after you board it when the chauffeur is driving. You will be able to make up for some sleep.”

Feng Cheng knew a little about that small courtyard of Elder Lin.

Before Elder Lin had retired completely, he had once been engaged by Peking University. He had been the university’s lecturer for a few years.

As such, many disciples of Elder Lin graduated from Peking University.

Regarding that house, instead of saying that the country had given it to Elder Lin, it should be said that Peking University had also contributed much.

In order to make it convenient for Elder Lin to teach at Peking University from time to time, the location of the house was certainly very close to Peking University. It was most suitable for students such as Qiao Nan and s.h.i.+ Qing.

The Feng family always felt that they had some status in the capital. However, they did not have the capability to get a house located in that area, such as the small courtyard of the Lin family.

Naturally, neither the Feng family nor the Zhai family had such a house. Only this master of Qiao Nan did.
