“You are prejudiced. That’s why you can’t look at the situation objectively.” Thankfully, Zhai Sheng was not around that day.However, Hua Hua had reminded him if Zhai Sheng was around next time and his parents continued to be distant toward Qiao Nan, treating her like a guest rather than their family, Zhai Sheng would say harsher words and deal with them more seriously than her.Tian Dong was put in a difficult position because of that.

His parents did not know Qiao Nan and they had zero contact with her.

It was too much to ask of his parents to treat Qiao Nan as their niece on their second encounter. Compared to other people, his parents had been treating Qiao Nan fairly well.

However, as long as it was related to Qiao Nan, the Zhai family would have a very high expectation to the extent that it was ridiculous and unreasonable.

Tian Shouxin could tell that his son was in a difficult position. He felt bitter and expressed his displeasure. “Fine! Now that you have a wife, you totally forgot about your mother. I understand. Since the Zhai family places such high importance on Qiao Nan, I am sure after you married Zhai Hua, they will treat you in the same manner as well. To outsiders, Zhai Sheng’s behavior is too brutal, but if we are one family in the future, their behavior could be seen as acceptable.”

At the very least, he believed that after his son married Zhai Hua, the Zhai family would be equally protective of his son, just like how they defended Qiao Nan.

In that case, he would stand to gain from it.

Very few people were able to treat their daughter-in-law and son-in-law as their sons and daughters.

“Dongzi, I can conclude two points from this situation. Firstly, the Zhai family will defend their own, provided that you have been recognized and affirmed by them. Secondly, I believe that Qiao Nan must have made a lot of contributions to the Zhai family for them to treat her so well.”

Qiao Nan had already set an example. If Tian Dong did not perform as well, he would not be able to match up to Qiao Nan.

If Tian Dong was not mentally prepared, he might be under a lot of pressure in the future.

Although it was their son who married a wife, since their in-laws were influential people like the Zhai family, there were many other issues and concerns that they needed to be aware of.

Mother Tian curled the corners of her lips unhappily, but she remained silent.

There was nothing that she could say.

She had overheard the conversation on the phone just now. She felt that she had been polite to Qiao Nan, but she did not expect that her son had to rely on Qiao Nan to get his business deals.

She must not look down on Qiao Nan just because of her humble background. No matter what, she was the daughter-in-law of the Zhai family and she had given birth to three babies for the Zhai family.

Qiao Nan had secured her foothold in the Zhai family. In the future, they would be relatives, and it was better for them to be closer to each other.

Qiao Nan knew that time was money, especially for Tian Dong who was a businessman. Time was precious. It was particularly important to act faster than the competitors and pick the right time to market their products.

Thankfully, she was still very familiar with how to make clothes. She took into consideration Fang Fang’s preferences and made an improvised cheongsam for her. She would be able to wear it in normal circumstances and she would not appear to be out of place.

It was relatively easy to tailor the clothes to be worn during the spring, summer, and autumn. As for winter clothing, they were thicker and the material was not as soft and easy to handle. Fang Fang could wear the cheongsam and put on a thicker jacket to keep herself warm. If there was a heater, she could take off the outer jacket and she would look pretty with the improvised cheongsam.

Since Gao Yan had stated that he wanted a dress for Fang Fang, Qiao Nan spent a day making the dress when she had some free time. She washed it, ironed it, and folded it, wrapping it nicely with paper and handed it to Tian Dong. “Future brother-in-law, let me remind you. You must keep a tight watch on the dress. If anything goes wrong with the dress, today’s meeting might be called off and I won’t be able to help you in the future.”

Tian Dong said jokingly, “Don’t worry. Even if anything happens, I will make sure that the dress is intact. No matter what, this is your hard work.”

Zhai Hua had told Tian Dong everything about Gao Yan and the reason why Gao Yan was so polite to Qiao Nan, as well as whom the dress was meant for.

It was easy to buy a dress. However, the difficult part was that Qiao Nan had to design and make the dress by herself.

Qiao Nan was not a professional. Luckily, she had some experience and she agreed to help him. Otherwise, such a request could be seen as a way to reject his request to speak with him in private.

“It’s good that you know.” Zhai Hua nodded approvingly. “After the triplets joined our family, they are the only ones to enjoy such privileges. You are the only one to be able to make such a request. If it was someone else, they would have been sent away by us.” It was rare that the Tian family needed Qiao Nan’s help. Zhai Hua made use of this opportunity for the Tian family to owe Qiao Nan a debt of gratitude.

To her, there was no way that Qiao Nan would need to seek help from the Tian family. However, it was good that the Tian family needed Qiao Nan’s help. In that way, they would no longer look down on her in the future.

Tian Dong had a bitter smile on his face. Zhai Hua was so bent on making sure that the Tian family owed Qiao Nan a favor. But at the same time, he was envious that Zhai Hua was so protective of Qiao Nan.

Time revealed a person’s heart. He believed that Zhai Hua would be able to feel his sincerity.

Qiao Nan was nice to Hua Hua, so Hua Hua treated her just as well. In the future, he would be spending the rest of his life with Hua Hua. There would be a day Hua Hua would put him as her priority and treat him far better than Qiao Nan.

In terms of a romantic relationship, not only women, but men were also equally jealous and childish.

Tian Dong brought with him the dress that Qiao Nan made and had a long talk with Gao Yan. It was far longer than the one hour that Gao Yan had allocated for the meeting. To Gao Yan, the time spent was worth it. He did not feel that he was wasting his time.

Tian Dong, who spent more than twenty years overseas, had his own way of thinking and insight. One could not gain this insight and experience by charging forward fearlessly and spending all their efforts to excel in their career.

After learning about Tian Dong’s aspirations, Gao Yan, who had his own ambitions, could not agree more with him. Previously, he lacked the opportunity and suitable partners to work with him, and that was why he did not go into much collaboration with other companies.

It was hard to find a friend who shared the same ambitions and purposes with him. Therefore, they had a very good time chatting with each other.

They spent the whole afternoon talking about different topics and shared their experiences, but there was little mention of the cooperation between the two companies. It was only when they received messages from their mothers urging them to go back home for dinner did they end the talk and parted ways.

For Gao Yan, he had gained a lot from the talk. He learned about Tian Dong’s ambitions and he had with him a dress to give his childhood sweetheart.

As soon as he got into the car, Gao Yan made a phone call to Fang Fang. “Hello, Fang Fang, it’s me.”
