Chapter 1820: I’m Not Against It
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After going to an unfamiliar city, who would know what had happened between Qiao Nan and Chen Jun, let alone say anything bad?
In the face of this situation, Father Chen and Mother Chen remained silent this time around and didn’t say anything against it. In private, Mother Chen went to ask Chen Feng how he would feel if Chen Jun married Qiao Nan.
What surprised Mother Chen was that even Chen Feng, the son, didn’t help Qiao Zijin. He was like his biological father. He felt that Qiao Nan, his young aunt, was much better than his biological mother. “Sure, I’ve always thought that young aunt is pretty good. She’s prettier and more good-tempered than my mom. She treats me pretty good too. However, grandma, after young aunt marries my dad, should I call her mom instead? After young aunt becomes my mom, will she be like my biological mom and treat me badly?”
Qiao Zijin liked to enjoy life. She was impatient and bad-tempered as well. When Chen Feng was just born, he didn’t know how to speak and would cry whenever he felt unwell. Ding Jiayi had pampered Qiao Zijin since she was young. How would she be willing to wash Chen Feng’s little buttocks which were full of shit? That was impossible. Even if it was her biological son, Qiao Zijin treated him with disdain as she found him to be dirty and smelly.
As such, Mother Chen had brought Chen Feng up in his infancy days. But when Qiao Zijin returned to her family, she would bring Chen Feng with her. Once she reached home, she would ask Qiao Nan to take care of Chen Feng. She felt that she had relied on Chen Feng to snatch Chen Jun away from Qiao Nan. Now, if Qiao Nan had to take care of Chen Feng, she must be feeling very sad in her heart.
Every time like this, Qiao Zijin would have a contorted sense of satisfaction. This led to a strange phenomenon. When Qiao Zijin returned home, she might not bring along Chen Jun, but she would definitely bring along her son, Chen Feng. After reaching home, Qiao Zijin would throw Chen Jun to Qiao Nan. She even told her son that he must not leave Qiao Nan and look for her if there’s anything. Qiao Nan had to serve her son well.
As such, Chen Feng spent more time interacting with Qiao Nan, his young aunt, than his biological mother. Qiao Nan was soft-hearted to begin with. Even if she hated Qiao Zijin and knew that all the money Ding Jiayi asked from her went to supporting Qiao Zijin, Qiao Nan would still produce the money every time Ding Jiayi put on a pitiful act.
The matters of adults had nothing to do with children. In Qiao Nan’s eyes, Chen Feng was innocent. Qiao Nan only felt a little complicated in her heart during the year when Chen Feng was still a baby who knew nothing. After that, she adjusted her mood very quickly and regarded Chen Jun as her brother-in-law and Chen Feng as her nephew.
As such, when Chen Feng started to remember things, he only remembered that his young aunt treated him especially well and had a gentle voice. She would ask him if something was delicious or fun. If he did something wrong, his young aunt would teach him, unlike his mom, who would push him to his grandma every time something happened.
Chen Feng wasn’t close to Qiao Zijin. This didn’t mean that a child didn’t long for maternal love. In the Chen family, there was Mother Chen to bring him up. In the Qiao family, Qiao Zijin left Chen Feng to Qiao Nan. Qiao Zijin didn’t realize that every time she did this, it was nothing that Qiao Nan didn’t refuse. However, every time Chen Feng left his biological mother’s side, there wasn’t any bit of reluctance. He even ran to Qiao Nan’s side and played with her. This was where she failed as a mother.
Chen Feng, who usually didn’t express his opinion, amazed the world with a single brilliant feat today. Chen Feng was already a few years old and a primary school child. It wasn’t true that children at this age didn’t know anything.
Chen Feng’s words shocked the Chen family.
Mother Chen stood in front of her grandson and looked into his eyes. “Feng Feng, tell grandma. Who taught you those words just now? Was it grandpa or young aunt?”
When did the Qiao family instill such thoughts into Feng Feng? Why were they unaware of this?
“No, these are my original thoughts.” Chen Feng shook his head. “I really think that young aunt is nice and treats me well. Young aunt will buy food for me and care about my homework. When I was in first grade, I scored badly in the first semester, and all of you were unhappy. Mom even threw a temper at me. After that, young aunt was the one who gave me lessons and helped me with my homework. Young aunt is really smart. After listening to young aunt, I even became the top five in my class.”
In Chen Feng’s eyes, there was nothing his young aunt didn’t know or was bad at.
“…” The Chen family was once again surprised. They cared about Chen Feng’s homework as well, but not to Qiao Nan’s extent. When Chen Feng didn’t score well, they didn’t care much. When Chen Feng’s grades improved, they thought that it was the teachers who had taught him well and that their lecturing words, which were due to his previous bad grades, had worked on him.
They didn’t expect it was Qiao Nan who had taught Chen Feng how to master his homework.
Chen Jun said in a nostalgic tone, “I remember that Qiao Nan’s grades were exceptionally good when she was studying. Before dropping out, she was always ranked top three in her grade.”
Chen Jun’s studies were good as well. When Chen Feng scored badly in the first semester, Chen Jun suspected that Qiao Zijin’s genes must have affected Chen Feng adversely. When he was studying, he didn’t score so badly before. It must be because he had Qiao Zijin as a mother that his grades were so bad.
Later, when his son’s results became better, Chen Jun simply thought that his natural genes had taken effect. He completely didn’t expect Chen Feng’s progress to be man-made.
Mother Chen felt complicated in her heart. “Why didn’t you tell us that your young aunt treats you so well?” Every time they went over to the Qiao family, as long as Qiao Nan was around, they saw that Chen Feng was pretty cold to her.
Even if they occasionally mentioned Qiao Nan at home, Chen Feng, who was listening to their words as he was playing, had no reaction at all. It was as if he hadn’t heard their words at all. Based on Chen Feng’s performance, the Chen family didn’t expect Chen Feng to have such a good impression of Qiao Nan and that he actually liked her very much.
“Young aunt taught me to do so. Aside from her, I can’t show that I like her a lot in front of anyone else. If I do, she wouldn’t have the chance to play with me again in the future. She also said that no matter who I hear talking about her, I should treat that I’m young and couldn’t understand anything. After listening to their words, I should forget them quickly and not tell her anything. Grandpa, grandma, Dad, I really feel that young aunt is great.”
Chen Feng didn’t understand Qiao Nan’s words fully. However, as time passed, Chen Feng transformed from an ignorant child who only knew to listen to Qiao Nan to a child with his own thinking ability.
