Chapter 1280 Different Expectations
The triplets were all close and sticky to their mother. They were so happy when their mother fed them.
In the past, Qiao Nan believed in fairness and absolutely no favoritism. The three children would take turns to be fed by her. This is such that she would not appear biased toward any of them. As a result, she upset the remaining two. Qiao Nan said that the three children seemed very young now but they were sensible and had feelings too.
Fortunately, the three of them were very close to one another. Besides, Qiao Nan took good care of their feelings. Until now, the triplets had been living happily and did not really like to throw tantrums.
For example, if Er Bao was unwell, Da Bao was throwing tantrums, or San Bao was crying, the other two children would not cry or fight for their mother’s attention although she took care of one of them more.
Such as now, Da Bao liked to feed himself. However, all the food usually did not go into his mouth and nothing much went into his stomach.
As the only person who could snatch the spoon away from Da Bao, Qiao Nan could only pay more attention to him. If Da Bao could finish his food earlier, Qiao Nan still had the chance to feed Er Bao and San Bao.
Qiao Nan was a first-time mother. She did not expect Da Bao would be so clever to use such little tricks as he was so young.
However, Miao Jing, who was already a grandmother, knew that a child would not possibly harbor deliberate thoughts in doing certain matters. Nevertheless, they did it subconsciously.
Her eldest grandson was so clever and quick-witted. He also showed a lot of care and concern to Er Bao and San Bao normally. He looked like he could completely take on the duties of an elder brother. How could Miao Jing not dote on Da Bao?
The first grandson and the last son are the lifelines of the old lady. This saying was very true.
Anyway, these were merely innocuous jokes and Miao Jing was not willing to take it so seriously. If she did, that would be apprehending danger at every bush and tree she saw. Ultimately, she still believed that her family’s offspring were the best.
Both Qiao Nan and Miao Jing were focused on taking care of the children, while Zhai Hua had an extremely enjoyable dinner at the Tian family’s residence.
“Uncle, auntie, I’m so sorry. Previously, I went back to the army camp and stayed there for a period of time. When I was back home, I was ill-informed and only came to visit you today.” Zhai Hua sat beside Auntie Tian and even served her a cup of hot tea.
During the entire dinner, Auntie Tian was very affectionate toward Zhai Hua. She kept adding dishes to Zhai Hua’s bowl with her chopsticks. In addition, a few dishes on the dining table were Zhai Hua’s favorites.
They knew what Zhai Hua liked and disliked so well. It was obvious how much the Tian family cared about Zhai Hua.
As for Qiu Chenxi, who insisted to follow over, she seemed to be getting slapped in the face many times. There were a few times that she attempted to chat with Auntie Miao but was interrupted by the latter.
It was fine that Auntie Tian ignored her. However, what made Qiu Chenxi furious was that each time Auntie Tian interrupted her, she would gently turn her face toward Zhai Hua to seek the latter’s opinions and views. They would then chat together enthusiastically.
Father Tian obviously saw his wife’s behavior he did not stop her at all. Judging from this, he held the same attitude as his wife. In comparison to Qiu Chenxi, he was fonder of Zhai Hua.
Sensing the sincerity in Zhai Hua’s words, Auntie Tian was elated. “I know that you are a good child. I really can’t fault you for this matter. At our end, we didn’t do some of the things right either. Dongzi is not a bad kid. As long as Dongzi and you are doing well, Dongzi’s dad and I will be fine. Right, Miss Qiu, next time when my son and Hua Hua get married, you have to attend the wedding.”
Qiu Chenxi’s face turned pale. Forget it that she had been rejected and being rolled eyes at. They were going overboard in their words. “I am just thinking whether Elder Uncle Tian will agree to this.” Wasn’t the elder son of the Tian family the one who called the shots? Would Tian Dong be able to marry anyone that he wished to? Who were they threatening?
All of Qiu Chenxi’s confidence came from the elder son of the Tian family.
It did not matter to Qiu Chenxi whether Tian Dong liked her or not. Even if he did not like her now, Qiu Chenxi was confident that he would eventually fall in love with her after they were married. She had always believed that she was outstanding enough to make every man fall for her.
Zhai Sheng, that individual who betrayed her and married Qiao Nan, was only an exception.
Furthermore, her mother did not marry her father because of love either. It was for the sake of the interests of the two families. She was in politics and Tian Dong was rich. Their life would definitely become better and better after they got married.
After identifying the target, Qiu Chenxi only wanted to dash forward in the direction of it.
“It’s not important whether he agrees or not.” Father Tian sneered. The youngsters nowadays were so brazen. They dared to use such outrageous and shameful means. “I’m the one who is going to get a daughter-in-law this year. My elder brother’s daughter is already married.” One would take care of their own family’s children. Would Dongzi definitely collect a marriage certificate and give birth to children with a woman just because his elder brother said so? What could his elder brother do as long as they disagreed?
Crap!
He dared to guarantee that his elder brother could not even make them collect the marriage certificate, let alone have children.
“Miss Qiu, right. You’re on such good terms with my elder brother’s family. You should visit the old house of the Tian family and not our new house more often. Dongzi is not very close with you either. He already has such a good girlfriend like Hua Hua. They have been together for more than a year. You should be receiving their wedding invitation soon. You should visit us less often in the future. Don’t look for Dongzi alone either. If it causes a misunderstanding with others, it won’t be too good then. Dongzi is a man and he has such a good marriage partner like Hua Hua. A little misunderstanding will not cause much harm to him.”
Father Tian’s eloquence certainly did not lose out to any youngster. Every word from his mouth was like a dagger that shot directly at Qiu Chenxi’s heart. “However, you are different. You are a grown-up single lady. If others were to misunderstand you, and as a result, it delayed you from finding a partner, we will feel very sorry. Our family’s Dongzi won’t be able to bear any responsibility for that.”
He even deliberately enunciated the words ‘grown-up lady’ to mock Qiu Chenxi.
Having been in America for more than twenty years, there was nothing that Father Tian had not seen.
Given Qiu Chenxi’s style, if she was truly a ‘grown-up lady’, he might still be willing to go according to his elder brother’s wish and let Dongzi try interacting with Qiu Chenxi. This was despite his dislike for Qiu Chenxi.
Dongzi grew up in America but he did not engage in any of those messy affairs. On the contrary, Qiu Chenxi, who grew up in their home country, was so loose and debauched. He was not sure how many men she had. He really could not accept this.
He did not know and care about how other families chose their daughter-in-law. However, if one wished to become his daughter-in-law, sorry. Although he came back from America, he still stubbornly held a traditional mindset and values.
