Chapter 1259 Don’t Enter the Blind Alley
However, if Zhai Hua were to bully his children, she should not blame him for not treating her like a sister.
“Nan Nan, your man is threatening me. He has forgotten who sent you to the hospital and accompanied you when you gave birth one year ago. Tell me. Isn’t your man heartless? You don’t hit a person in his face, and neither do you expose a person’s shortcomings. He did it on purpose.” Her twenty-eighth birthday had passed. As she approached her thirties, Zhai Hua’s face got blacker and blacker.
Fortunately, in the army, everyone was used to exerting one’s position and authority. They were also more respectful of and convinced by capable people.
Despite this, Zhai Hua was still a famous unmarried ‘old’ lady and ‘old’ deputy battalion commander in Ping Cheng’s army. Now, the people in the capital’s army enjoyed referring her as the new female officer who was left on the shelves.
No matter where she went, Zhai Hua was a famous figure in the limelight. Everyone knew who she was.
As a normal woman who kept hearing others calling her an old woman, no matter how big-hearted Zhai Hua was, she would feel angry. She could not help but find an excuse to deal with the few junior soldiers who had the excessive energy to gossip about others. They were behaving like women. As such, she taught them a hard lesson.
In the army, she would hear these gossips from the people that she did not know. Now that she was at home, her biological brother also had to poke fun at her.
The hot-tempered Zhai Hua could not help doubting if she was in the early stage of menopause. Otherwise, why was her temper growing bigger and worse by the day?
Qiao Nan was carrying San Bao and sitting beside Zhai Sheng. The agile Er Bao stood with his short little legs, wanting to sit beside his mother. Qiao Nan reached out and carried him. Er Bao was now sitting on the sofa and holding his sister’s hands. He looked so obedient.
Making use of this opportunity, Qiao Nan leaned closer to Zhai Sheng and asked quietly, “What’s the situation with Tian Dong recently?” When she was pregnant with the triplets, Tian Dong found various excuses to come to the Zhai family’s residence for meals and ask Sister Zhai Hua out.
It was also because of this that Tian Dong had helped do everything that Brother Zhai should have done then—on the account of Sister Zhai Hua.
Strangely, Tian Dong had been coming to the Zhai family’s residence less since she had given birth to the triplets. She could not even remember clearly when she last saw Tian Dong.
Tian Dong had returned to the capital for almost two years?
If the Tian family did not have the intention, Sister Zhai Hua had to grab hold of time and attend matchmaking sessions soon. If they were to come clean about the matter, it would be akin to giving each other freedom. No one would delay each other’s time. Wasn’t that a good thing?
Squeezing Er Bao’s chubby hand, Zhai Sheng said openly, “Nothing is happening at Tian Dong’s side. That’s why someone is so angry that she is having hormonal imbalances.”
Qiao Nan had thought that she was talking very softly. This was quite amusing to Zhai Sheng and Zhai Hua. As a special forces soldier, how could she survive in the army if she did not even have some listening skills? Since he knew that Zhai Hua could definitely hear it, Zhai Sheng could not be bothered to lower his voice or suppress himself. He would be acting foolishly like an ostrich if he did.
After saying this, Zhai Sheng even specially turned to look at Zhai Hua to observe her reaction.
Zhai Hua’s face reddened. It was uncertain if she was feeling angry or embarrassed. “Don’t mention that person’s name in front of me again. All of them are scums.” At the mention of Tian Dong, Zhai Hua’s heart was confused.
It was with much difficulty that she found Wei De previously. Who would have known that Wei De, who looked honest on the outside, was actually such a jerk?
She had already moved to the capital for two years. Zhai Hua had heard about Wei De’s news from time to time.
It was all thanks to her childhood friends who had continued to stay in Ping Cheng to develop their businesses. After leaving Zhai Hua, Wei De was like a pile of feces. After being beaten up for no reason, Wei De could not survive in the capital anymore. He could only bring a small sum of money with him back to Ping Cheng and start his life anew.
Zhai Hua’s childhood friends would pay attention to Wei De from time to time. They took it that they were watching a clown’s show. They would then report to Zhai Hua about Wei De’s miserable situation, as if they were telling a joke. As a result, Zhai Hua couldn’t possibly not know about Wei De’s situation.
After Wei De returned to Ping Cheng, he had not gotten married. He also did not have any complicated woman by his side.
However, Wei De had fetched his family from his hometown to Ping Cheng.
During the last time that they met, Wei Wei should have attended kindergarten. However, three years had passed. Given Wei Wei’s age, he should be attending primary school. Wei De was still unwilling to give up on Wei Wei, this son. Hence, he found ways to move Wei Wei’s residence to Ping Cheng and finally found him a primary school there.
As for what Wei De initially planned for—letting Wei Wei study in a good primary school and receive elite education—it was no longer in the consideration.
First, Wei De did not have the interpersonal network.
Second, Wei De did not have the money.
It was worth mentioning that Wei Wei’s mother and ‘younger sister’ also came to Ping Cheng. To outsiders, everyone knew that this sister was Wei Wei’s biological instead of adopted sister. Wei Wei was the illegitimate son born out of wedlock by Wei De’s sister. He was thus Wei De’s nephew.
The Wei family had concealed and lied to Zhai Hua about Wei Wei’s identity in the past. Now, they were still going down the same dead end and continuing to weave the same lie. They strongly hoped to turn the make-believe into reality.
What made Zhai Hua felt most helpless was that Wei De had been telling others that Zhai Hua was still the love of his life, that he would only love Zhai Hua in this lifetime. As long as Zhai Hua was willing to go back to him, he would definitely openly welcome Zhai Hua to his home to be his wife unconditionally, anytime and forever.
Zhai Hua had mentioned this matter to Qiao Nan before.
Wei De had disguised himself to be someone deeply in love and with no regrets. He had lied so well that many young ladies had been taken in. Some foolish people really believed that the Zhai family did not look up to and shun Wei De because of his family background, that Zhai Hua was blind to have abandoned such a good man like Wei De because of money.
Qiao Nan was afraid that Zhai Hua’s heart would waver and commit the same foolish act again. She told Zhai Hua in a frank and direct manner. “Do you know why Wei De is still holding on to you and not getting married until now? If he marries another woman, will that woman be able to provide him with so many benefits like you did? Also, nowadays, how many people truly marry out of love?”
