Miao Jing was also a mother and knew that a woman’s heart was delicate and completely different from a man’s rough one. Of course, it was glorious being a soldier. The problem was that there were still all kinds of troubles and problems around the world even though the world seemed to be peaceful now. Miao Jing knew all about how countries that seemed to be friendly with each other on the surface were actually fighting with each other under the table.

  As such, the state’s attention to the military had never waned. In fact, as society developed and the country became more prosperous, the state had placed an even greater focus on the military. Why? It was to be prepared to deal with all sorts of unexpected situations so as to maintain the independence and peace of the state. She had sent both her daughter and son to the military.

  In the past, Miao Jing had been heartbroken every time Zhai Sheng and Zhai Hua had gotten injured during their missions. Given a choice, Miao Jing wished that her children would have picked a stable office job instead. Unfortunately, both her children enjoyed being in the military and she couldn’t object to it. But… As she looked at her grandsons who were grinning at her while drooling, Miao Jing’s heart was even softer now that she was a grandma.

  They had to protect such adorable and lovely children. How could they possibly send these children to the military to suffer?

  Qiao Nan was much calmer than Miao Jing and hadn’t even shown a response to Zhai Yaohui’s words. “There’s no hurry for that. Like father like son, like mother like daughter. I think that saying is really right. They’re Zhais, and even if I stand in their way now, they might have their own opinions when they grow up. Then, I won’t be able to stop them either.”

  The three children were indeed from the Zhai family and had a righteous air of a soldier around them. In her dream, San Bao had sacrificed herself and chosen to join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, just like her mother had, to give her elders peace of mind. Qiao Nan was unsure of what San Bao would choose to do in reality, but she would respect it all the same.

  \r \r \r

  Zhai Yaohui was elated. “Miao Miao, I think you’re not as open-minded as Qiao Nan. I think that our children will grow up well. Even if you try to stop them, you’ll have to see if they’ll be willing to listen to you.”

  At the mention of this topic, Zhai Yaohui got excited. He knew that he was advanced in age while the triplets were still young. Zhai Yaohui had thought that it was already a blessing that he had managed to see Zhai Sheng get married and have children in his lifetime. But now, things were different. Zhai Yaohui hoped that he would be able to live long enough to see his three grandchildren come of age and follow in his footsteps to become righteous soldiers.

  “My three babies, you’d better eat more and grow up quickly. Grandpa is waiting for you to grow up,” Zhai Yaohui stroked Da Bao’s head and said tenderly. Of course, Da Bao had no idea what Zhai Yaohui was talking about, but he did understand that Zhai Yaohui was asking him to eat. Da Bao stroked his little tummy, expressing his hunger now that he had done some exercise. “Ah!”

  Miao Jing smirked. Why was he thinking about something so far ahead in the future? What she did know was that her three grandchildren were still at the age of drinking milk. Entering the military would come twenty years down the road. She wasn’t even sure she would live to see that day. “Auntie, hurry and get us three bottles of milk. The triplets are hungry.”

  Because the three children had already learned to crawl around, they no longer needed much help with their meals. They could cling onto the bottles with their two chubby hands without any help!

  Seeing how the triplets were trying their best to finish all the milk in the bottles, Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing were especially delighted. They had thought that they wouldn’t have the chance to see this day! It was truly their good fortune!

  Qiao Nan stroked the round tummies of the three children and played with them for a while before coaxing them to sleep. They looked especially adorable in the animal onesies that they were wearing. Of course, it wasn’t the Zhai family who had bought them but Qiao Nan and Jiajia.

  It was terribly adorable for little babies to wear animal onesies. In her dream, Qiao Nan had never gotten the chance to put such clothes on her children. By the time they were released, she could probably have bought them for her grandchildren. Now, things were different. Because the triplets had come later in her life, such animal onesies had just been released. Jiajia liked cute pajamas like these too, so she accompanied Qiao Nan to buy them for the triplets.

  Outfitted in those animal onesies, they raised their fists above their heads as they were deep in sleep, as though they were surrendering to someone. Qiao Nan couldn’t resist taking out her mobile phone to capture this scene. Qiao Nan had decided that she would show these photos to her grandchildren once her three children grew up and had children of their own.

  Just thinking about it delighted Qiao Nan.

  Qiao Nan, who was having the time of her life at home, had completely forgotten about the lawsuit against Wang Yang. She simply waited for Zhai Sheng to return with the result.

  To be honest, there was nothing to fight over in this lawsuit. It was just that Wang Yang refused to give up and was terribly persistent. If someone else had been in his place, there was no way this lawsuit would have even gone to court. Hiring lawyers to fight the case cost money. Moreover, it took time. Taking all these things into account, it was actually very expensive to be embroiled in a lawsuit.

  If one lost the case, it would be even worse. At times, even if one were to win the case, one might not even get back whatever they put in. But Wang Yang was so perseverant because he knew that he would definitely gain more than he had forked out as long as he won the case.

  Unfortunately, it didn’t matter how great the reward would be in the end. There was a huge premise of winning the lawsuit.

  Although the lawyer that Wang Yang had hired was professional and ethical and had done his best to help Wang Yang fight for his interests, everyone was equal in front of the law. It wasn’t so easy to make use of one’s personal relations in court, especially when Wang Yang had chosen to go against the wrong person.

  Since he hadn’t been able to reach a settlement with Qiao Nan privately, it was obvious that Wang Yang hadn’t gotten a single cent from what rightfully belonged to Qiao Nan in court.

  Because Wang Yang had been so filial to Zhu Chengqi before his death, it was only right for him to respect Zhu Chengqi’s will and to hand over all of the Zhu family’s assets to Qiao Nan, who had gained Zhu Chengqi’s approval.

  If Wang Yang was still dissatisfied with Zhu Chengqi’s will, that would only go to show that Wang Yang’s filial piety was insincere and that it had been mixed with his own personal interests. Legally speaking, the contents of the will couldn’t be changed. The will was completely valid and they had to respect the deceased’s will. If they brought relationships into the picture, then Wang Yang should simply respect Zhu Chengqi’s wishes and call off the lawsuit.
