Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although Old Zhai had no idea how Miao Jing had managed to escape the situation, he was clear that Qi Minlan wouldn’t leave the matter lying down just like that given her temper.

If Qi Minlan dared to do such a thing and dared to act like such a hooligan, she would definitely get bolder if no one taught her a lesson in time.

In Old Zhai’s opinion, Shi Peng was the only one who hadn’t been brought up astray in the entire Shi family.

He didn’t have much opinion toward Shi Peng, so he definitely would not try to deal with Shi Peng.

But it was entirely Old Master Shi’s fault for bringing up a daughter like that.

Old Zhai knew that Old Master Shi didn’t have much patience but was ambitious. That was why he had tried all methods to get his daughter to marry his son. As such, Old Zhai decided to deal Old Master Shi a hard blow in his career.

Because of Old Zhai’s actions, Old Master Shi very gloriously went into ‘retirement’ without even being able to retain a desk job.

Since he wanted to retire, it was best that he do so cleanly and leave all opportunities to the new generation. He had better prove his intentions with his actions rather than his words.

Old Master Shi was stunned. He had been thinking of riding on Old Zhai’s laurels and progressing even further in his career after becoming in-laws with the Zhai family.

Who would have known that he had been forced to retire just like that?

Old Master Shi hid his frustration and anger behind a smile and went to look for Old Zhai. “Brother Zhai, has there been a misunderstanding? If there is one, we can clear the air. Besides, our Minlan and Zhai Yaohui…”

“You’d better not say that my son is in a relationship with your daughter. My son has someone in mind. If my future daughter-in-law misunderstands my son and breaks up with him because of your words, what will happen to my son? I’ll acknowledge only one person as my daughter-in-law.”

Old Zhai had already guessed that Old Master Shi would come to look for him and didn’t try to hide the truth from him. “Don’t you know that the two of them have been in a conflict lately? It’s because a shameless woman cornered my daughter-in-law and claimed that she was my son’s fiancée. She even tried to chase my daughter-in-law away. Not only was my daughter-in-law angry, but even I was infuriated when I heard about it. Do you think that we as parents don’t know who our son’s partner is? Does she think that she, an outsider, knows better than us?”

Most importantly, that had been terribly shameless!

Over the past ten years, Qi Minlan had kept quite a few boys by her side. In fact, she seemed to be rather close to all of them.

Since Qi Minlan was already close to other boys, how could she be so shameless as to pester his son?

After all, ten years had gone by. Otherwise, Old Zhai would very well have charged Qi Minlan with having promiscuous relationships given her behavior.

Over the past ten years, there were many who had been charged with that. Some were true, while others weren’t. But if he were to charge Qi Minlan with that, it would definitely not be unjustified.

Old Master Shi was confused at first, but he slowly understood the situation. “Yaohui has a partner?”

And it seemed like Zhai Yaohui’s partner wasn’t his daughter, Minlan.

Of course, Old Master Shi was not entirely unaware of the Zhai family’s situation.

Old Master Shi knew that a young lady from the countryside had moved into the Zhai family’s house and had been living there for the past year.

But Old Master Shi trusted the Zhai family and knew that it couldn’t be an accident that a young lady had moved into their house.

Who would have known that this trust could be broken so easily? Because he had been so trusting, something serious had happened!

Old Master Shi thought that that lady was just someone from the countryside who had lost all her relatives.

Could there be any good in getting a girl who had no family to rely on and couldn’t even bring any dowry when she got married?

The Zhai family was either blind or stupid. In which way did Minlan lose to that lady that the Zhai family would rather take that lady as a daughter-in-law than his Minlan? They had to be crazy!

But whether Old Zhai was crazy was not the main point.

As a scheming person, Old Master Shi knew that Zhai Yaohui’s attitude was the key.

The one getting married was Zhai Yaohui and not Old Zhai anyway. It didn’t matter whom Old Zhai liked. Only Zhai Yaohui’s attitude mattered.

Old Master Shi took a deep breath. “Is that so? I know that Zhai Yaohui has been busy in the military and has done very well for himself. The next time he returns, I’ll see if I can have a chat with him. Times are different now. There are many things that parents can’t make the decision in anymore. We should listen to our children’s opinions and thoughts.”

Old Zhai smiled. “Yes, times are different. Our children’s opinions are the most important. It’s just as well. My son has been in the military for almost a year now and hasn’t been back since. No matter what, I think he should be returning soon. But he won’t be spending much time at home. If you really have anything to tell him, you’d better hurry up. Otherwise, you might have to wait for another year. My future daughter-in-law has already been decided, and Yaohui is busy with his career. It’s best not to have any more delays. Even a year or two is important for young ladies at the peak of their youth.”

Qi Minlan had better get married as soon as possible so that she wouldn’t cling to his son or create trouble for Miao Miao.

Old Master Shi couldn’t find it in him to even force a smile out.

He returned home sullenly. He already had an answer in his heart as to why he had been forced to retire at his age and to hand over his position and opportunities to the younger generation.

But that answer made him infuriated and dissatisfied. Because of that, he called his daughter back.

“Dad, why did you suddenly call me back?”

Over the past year, Qi Minlan had remained mad at Zhai Yaohui. But she was even angrier that Zhai Yaohui had remained in the military and that she hadn’t gotten the chance to meet him.

Qi Minlan wasn’t even sure if Zhai Yaohui was still mad at her or whether he simply had no chance to appease her.

Qi Minlan was willing to coax Zhai Yaohui, but she had to have the chance to meet him to do that.

Besides, she couldn’t be sure of Zhai Yaohui’s attitude even if she were to meet him. On the other hand, Miao Jing was living comfortably in the Zhai family’s house as though she was the rightful mistress of the family.

That was why Qi Minlan hadn’t been able to hold it in anymore and had impulsively looked for Miao Jing, wanting to get her to leave voluntarily.

As soon as Miao Jing left, Qi Minlan would no longer have to worry about Zhai Yaohui.

Anyway, she would become the only woman by Zhai Yaohui’s side once Miao Jing left.. Then, Zhai Yaohui would eventually forgive her no matter how angry he was.
