When they knew that Zhai Sheng had abandoned Qiu Chenxi, got engaged with another woman, and ‘deserted’ Shi Qing once again, everyone in the Feng family felt injustice for Shi Qing.

  Their own family’s Qing Qing was such a fine and outstanding lady. Zhai Sheng was blind to let her slip away again and again.

  As for that friend of Qing Qing who snatched Zhai Sheng away from Qing Qing’s hands despite being Qing Qing’s friend, she was too shameless. Why was Qiao Nan so shameless and despicable, doing this to a friend?

  This was what Qiu Chenxi told the Feng family when she called them.

  Qiu Chenxi told the Feng family that she had always believed that if Zhai Sheng did not get engage to her, he would certainly be together with Shi Qing. She was aware that Shi Qing had liked and admired Zhai Sheng so much all these years.

  If she was the one that Zhai Sheng liked, she would certainly not withdraw from the relationship.

  However, if Zhai Sheng did not look up to or like her, she would give up the relationship and Shi Qing was the only one that she would concede defeat to thereafter. She felt that Zhai Sheng should choose Shi Qing. She would also give her sincere blessings to both of them.

  However, who would have expected Qiao Nan to suddenly appear and snatch Zhai Sheng away.

  Qiu Chenxi also told them many things about Shi Qing and Qiao Nan’s friendship and emphasized how close they were. She said that Shi Qing and Qiao Nan were on such good terms that Shi Qing was very protective of Qiao Nan in front of her. She would flare up at her, this cousin, because of Qiao Nan and conflicts would arise.

  In short, Shi Qing was so good to Qiao Nan as if the latter descended from heaven. She, as the cousin, totally could not be compared to Qiao Nan anymore.

  The most annoying thing was that despite Shi Qing being so good to her, Qiao Nan’s repayment to Shi Qing’s kindness was to snatch away Zhai Sheng. She even got engaged to him.

  \r \r \r

  Qiu Chenxi deliberately muddled the fact that Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng’s romantic relationship had started long before Qiao Nan and Shi Qing became good friends. She made it sound as if Qiao Nan had shamelessly and hypocritically snatched Zhai Sheng away from Shi Qing and got engaged to him in front of Shi Qing. This was despite Shi Qing always defended Qiao Nan and that Qiao Nan was aware of Shi Qing’s feelings toward Zhai Sheng

  Unfortunately, Shi Qing was a silly girl who had been ‘poisoned’ by Qiao Nan. She had been trampled badly by Qiao Nan, yet she still treated the other party as a friend.

  Upon hearing all these, the Feng family was filled with anger.

  However, after they digested the information wherein Qiu Chenxi had purposely muddled the sequence of the events, did the Feng family not see through Qiu Chenxi’s ploy or did they not bother to think over it? Only those few main characters in the Feng family knew the truth.

  The Feng old couple and Feng Cheng were already filled with anger. In addition, they saw Shi Qing help Qiao Nan carry many bags at the entrance of Peking University. The Feng family did not openly spit at Qiao Nan on the spot or call her full name, furiously scolding her for being shameless, as they felt that they were civilized people. How could they curse and shout in public?

  Besides, Shi Qing was the one who willingly carried the luggage for Qiao Nan. They were elders and Qiao Nan was a junior. If they spoke much, it would inevitably seem as if they were bullying the younger ones.

  The Feng family was very particular about their face. Naturally, they would not commit such a lowly mistake.

  The Feng family restrained themselves again and again. At most, they just made Qiao Nan feel the dislike and revulsion that they had toward her. The Feng family elderly couple and Feng Cheng really did not do anything else that was overboard.

  Feng Liang began to show his sense of reluctance. However, after some thinking, he seemed to be slightly enlightened. Feng Liang immediately felt more at ease. He even maintained a smile that was learned and refined. “Dad, rest assured. I understand. Certainly, the Feng family doesn’t lack anything except for girls. Of course, we support national family planning policies. Now, heaven has certainly sent a daughter to the doorstep of our Feng family.”

  Regardless of the importance of Qiao Nan to the Zhai family, the fact that Qiao Nan was the future daughter-in-law of the Zhai family would not change.

  Even if the Zhai family had settled for Qiao Nan due to some unspeakable reasons or even if Zhai Sheng did not have any slightest feelings for Qiao Nan, the Feng family would only stand to benefit if he were to acknowledge Qiao Nan as his goddaughter. There was no disadvantage to the family at all.

  At this juncture, Qiao Nan did not have the slightest idea that she had been ‘accepted’ by the Feng family because of Zhai Sheng and the Zhai family. Clearly, the Feng family had shown their dislike of her so blatantly. They were just short of detesting her looks.

  Once Old Master Feng and Feng Liang, the father-son pair, collaborated, they had even decided to acknowledge her as their god granddaughter and goddaughter respectively.

  It was true that when one was successful, those around them would ride on their success.

  The Zhai family was a formidable one. As she was related to the Zhai family now, even those who disliked her wanted to gain her favor and acknowledge her as fictive kin. One could imagine how much power and prestige the Zhai family had.

  This was something that Qiao Nan could have possibly contemplated, while Feng Liang had already sorted out his thoughts on this matter.

  The Feng family would not suffer even if Qiao Nan’s importance to the Zhai family was just a delusion. What if his father had guessed it right—that Zhai Sheng truly loved Qiao Nan and the Zhai family sincerely accepted Qiao Nan as their daughter-in-law?

  He would have gained much just by acknowledging this goddaughter.

  At the sight of Feng Liang’s smile, Old Master Feng heaved a sigh of relief. “Have you sorted out your thoughts?”

  “Yes. Dad, there is still you in our family.” Feng Liang had to admit that the older ones were wiser. In certain areas, he did not think as thoroughly as his father.

  He would only stand to gain, so why would he not do it?

  Regardless of how the Feng family treated Qiao Nan, Qing Qing, this party concerned, was very close with Qiao Nan anyway.

  If the Feng family was willing to acknowledge Qiao Nan as their fictive kin, Qing Qing would certainly be overjoyed. Wouldn’t that be a happy situation for all?

  “However, Dad, there’s one thing that I don’t understand.” Feng Liang could not help frowning. The Feng family had met Qiao Nan twice. His nephew had not returned home. Feng Liang could also guess that the interaction between Feng Meng and Qiao Nan this time was certainly not better than the Feng family’s first meeting with her.

  The Feng family had shown their displeasure to Qiao Nan twice. At this juncture, would Qiao Nan agree if the Feng family said that they would like to acknowledge her?

  “Hahaha……” Regarding this, Old Master Feng was not concerned at all. “Women. Regardless of their age, they are always the same. You can’t pamper them. If you do, they will be too arrogant. We will be courteous after being impolite. Qiao Nan has had a taste of being given cold shoulders by the Feng family. Next, we will divulge what Qiu Chenxi told us and express that all these are all a misunderstanding, that we have been misled by Qiu Chenxi.”

  After the explanation, the Feng family was willing to be good to Qiao Nan. Would Qiao Nan not accept that?

  Furthermore, the attitude of the Feng family was entirely caused by Qiu Chenxi. If Qiao Nan had any anger in her heart, naturally, she would direct it at Qiu Chenxi.

  The Feng family had foolishly believed Qiu Chenxi initially. Hence, after they acknowledged Qiao Nan, the more they should treat Qiao Nan well.

  With an array of sugarcoated bullets, Old Master Feng was not afraid that the twenty-year-old Qiao Nan would not be tricked. He was not concerned that she would not feel grateful for the Feng family’s kindness and not treat them as her relatives.
