She wanted to see how well Qiao Dongliang could do if he were to be in charge of Zhou Xing. She would take this opportunity to show Qiao Dongliang that she was no jinx. It was just utterly untrue that anyone who got close to her would be unlucky. It just so happened that the children that she liked were all ‘spoiled brats’ who could not be controlled.

  Qiao Dongliang would only understand such a situation and her difficulties when he personally experienced it.

  Zhou Xing had no idea that this one call during the New Year meant that her grandpa would start supervising her strictly once she returned to the capital for her studies. As for whatever she had plotted against the Zhai family, Qiao Dongliang would nip them in the bud, depriving them of the chance to grow.

  As such, springtime this year was really a buzz in Zhou Xing’s school.

  That boyfriend of Zhou Xing’s from the PLA National Defense University became her cousin. And now, their mutual grandpa really came to visit.

  Someone with sharp eyes noticed that Qiao Dongliang had come in Zhai Yi’s car and had come along with the Zhai brothers. After arriving, Qiao Dongliang had first accompanied the brothers into the PLA National Defense University. Perhaps it was to take a look at the brothers’ friends and their living environment.

  It was exactly because Qiao Dongliang had appeared together with his outstanding grandsons that other people had such a deep impression of Qiao Dongliang. When Qiao Dongliang appeared at Zhou Xing’s school, people immediately came to the realization: That’s right. Zhou Xing and the Zhai brothers were relatives. Since this old man was Zhai Yi’s elder, he was most probably Zhou Xing’s elder too.

  \r \r \r

  After visiting the Zhai brothers, it was only normal for their elders to visit Zhou Xing.

  “Hello, I’m Zhou Xing’s grandpa. Can you give me some directions? I would like to find Zhou Xing.” After the New Year, Qiao Dongliang finally got a sense of how Zhou Xing looked like through a photograph. Zhou Xing did not resemble Qiao Zijin. In fact, she looked much prettier than Qiao Zijin. In other words, Zhou Xing had inherited the good traits of each of her parents.

  Thus, Zhou Xing did take after Zijin in the slightest bit but was much better-looking than Qiao Zijin had been as a student.

  It was after seeing Zhou Xing’s photograph that Qiao Dongliang finally understood how Zhou Xing had the guts to date her own cousin. Thinking back to the past, if Qiao Zijin had looked like Zhou Xing, Qiao Dongliang wondered if Qiao Zijin would fight with Qiao Nan for such an outstanding man like Zhai Sheng.

  “You’re Zhou Xing’s grandpa, so does that mean you’re also Zhai Yi’s and Zhai Xin’s grandpa?” The other party asked curiously to confirm that Zhou Xing and the Zhai brothers were indeed cousins.

  Knowing about how her curiosity arose, Qiao Dongliang patiently answered the female student, even though he thought that such a question was rather inappropriate. “If there’s only one Zhou Xing in your school, then what I want to say is that I do indeed have two daughters. My younger daughter is Zhai Yi’s and Zhai Xin’s mom. My other daughter, who is no longer around, has a daughter named Zhou Xing.”

  “Grandpa, the way you speak is so interesting!” The female student laughed, sensing that her question was a little inappropriate. Zhou Xing had lost her mother, so that meant Zhou Xing grew up with her birth father. She wondered if Zhou Xing’s father had gotten remarried after Zhou Xing’s mother died.

  If she had a stepmother, she would probably have a stepfather. She was rather interested in such gossip.

  No wonder Zhou Xing was not familiar with the Zhai brothers. After her birth mother passed away, her birth father remarried. That would definitely mean that Zhou Xing had little contact with her maternal relatives. “Grandpa, I’m free. Why don’t I show you the way? I’m not too sure about where Zhou Xing is at the moment. We have quite a few dance studios in our school. If the students have a need for it, we can even ask to borrow a dance studio to train in.”

  “All right, thank you.” Qiao Dongliang nodded in agreement.

  Coincidentally, Zhou Xing had indeed spent some money to borrow a dance studio to train in today. Unlike other students, Zhou Xing had the entire fortune of the Zhou family in her hands. Zhou Xing could spend that money in any way she liked, and she could easily allow herself to lead a better life. As such, all those things that average students could not afford meant nothing to Zhou Xing.

  “Oh, Zhou Xing, you’re here. Look who I’ve brought.” Upon finding Zhou Xing, the female student laughed and tried to win Zhou Xing over. As compared to her father who had remarried, Zhou Xing should still have a good impression of her maternal grandma’s family, not to mention just how amazing those maternal relatives of hers were.

  If she had a good relationship with Zhou Xing, she might just become Zhou Xing’s cousin-in-law in the future! It did not matter whether she would become the elder or younger cousin-in-law. Both Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin were handsome and popular.

  “Who?” Zhou Xing did not take a particular interest in her and simply wiped off the sweat from her face before picking up her cup to hydrate herself. She was destined to be a star. Zhai Yi might have been slightly harsh with his words, but what he had said was nothing but the truth. It was true that she should practice her basics and not forsake the basic skills.

  As long as she made a mark for herself, Zhai Xin would regret breaking up with her and would eventually come back to chase her.

  “We’ve only just started the semester. Who’s come to find me?” It could not possibly be Zhai Xin, right? Other than Zhai Xin, she did not wish to see anyone who came to see her.

  “It’s me!” Upon seeing the revealing and tight-fitting clothes that Zhou Xing was wearing, Qiao Dongliang’s expression darkened. “Aren’t you learning to dance? Why are you dressed like that? Is this a uniform? Or did you buy this yourself? If you bought this yourself, why couldn’t you have bought something with more cloth on it?” One sight of her could tell you that she was no decent young lady.

  The thought of San Bao, who was always dressed neatly and tidily, made Qiao Dongliang even angrier to see Zhou Xing in this state.

  “Don’t talk to me now. If you’re really free, we can chat later. Just leave with me now. I’m going to get you some new clothes.” Qiao Dongliang was a soldier and he was extraordinarily inflexible.

  Qiao Dongliang had seen people wearing such revealing and tight-fitting clothes on television several times. It was just that he did not like seeing such things and would typically change the channel upon seeing them. Anyway, those people on television had nothing to do with him. It was all right once he changed the channel and could not see them anymore.

  But it was absolutely unacceptable for Zhou Xing to do that. Zhou Xing was his granddaughter, and he had to rein her in. She was no longer allowed to wear such indecent clothing in the future. He never wanted to see it ever again.

  Only when Qiao Dongliang grabbed her elbow did Zhou Xing frown in pain and shout out. “Wait a minute! Who are you to grab me the moment you arrived? We’re in my school now and it’s in broad daylight! I’m telling you that you shouldn’t even think of leaving our school if you’re a kidnapper.” Human traffickers nowadays were too bold. They were even coming to school to kidnap people?
