Chapter 848 Brainwashing Zhai Hua

Zhai Hua’s face turned black instantly. She was not angry at Qiao Nan for being too mean in her words. She was angry at herself for what she had said as it was too high-sounding and unrealistic. She felt like giving herself a slap.

She was on such good terms with Zhai Sheng, yet they would be jealous of each other from time to time. If her baby had to lead such a life, she would rather not give birth to one!

She had told herself as well as Wei De countless times that unless she was childless in the future, she would definitely give all her love to her own child.

Certainly, she would not be like her parents who were so irresponsible to have ‘dumped’ their children to the elders. This had caused the children to lack paternal love and care since they were young.

At this moment, Zhai Hua felt that she was hitting herself in her own face. “You’re not selfish. All humans are selfish.”

Shi Qing shook her head, feeling confused. “No, I think Qiao Nan exaggerated a little. Since this is a problem that can be resolved with money, it is not much of a concern. Think about it. This child doesn’t have a father but he has a biological mother. At most, you can ask Wei De to give more money to his younger sister and let them move out of the countryside to let the child receive a better education. Won’t that do? Why do Wei De and Sister Zhai Hua have to bring that child along and raise him up?”

This was not right. Shouldn’t Qiao Nan persuade Sister Zhai Hua to leave Wei De? Why did she talk about Sister Zhai Hua and Wei De’s child?

“It’s not exaggerating.” Zhai Hua let out a frustrated sigh. “Qiao Nan is not exaggerating. I’ve been too naive.”

“Wei De had brought his up?!” Qiao Nan looked stupefied. “The two of you have not even sorted out your relationship?!”

“I want to wash my face.” Zhai Hua stood up silently. She went to the toilet and splashed water onto her face so that she could sober up.

Why was it that Qiao Nan, who was at such a young age, could foresee a problem that she had not even thought of? This was despite that she was much older than Qiao Nan. Moreover, she had neglected this issue again and again.

Wei De not only brought up the matter about this child but also thought of bringing the child here after this summer vacation to take care of him.

That child was already four years old this year. Wei De said that children nowadays had to receive a better education so that they would not lose out from the start.

There were many children of wealthy families in Ping Cheng who went to nurseries and hopped around lessons to learn many things at the age of two or three.

As this child bore the surname of Wei, Wei De’s parents treated him like their biological grandson. Hence, as the child’s uncle, Wei De certainly could not shortchange him and wished to nurture him.

Zhai Hua had been together with Wei De for a long time and the Zhai family had not even approved of their relationship. Hence, it was still too early to have a child.

Nevertheless, they would become parents eventually. It was also good to have some practice beforehand.

Zhai Hua was a woman. Now that she was of this age, she was yearning for children as well. Thinking that Wei De’s words were right, she had nodded and agreed to Wei De’s request.

Wei De not only wanted to spend money to rear the child but he also wanted to take care of and raise him up on his own. He even wanted Zhai Hua to help him along!

“Qiao Nan, I would like to ask you a question. Help me analyze it.” After washing her face, Zhai Hua walked out and sat opposite Qiao Nan. “Perhaps I am naturally lacking in this aspect. I didn’t consider too clearly or thoroughly on some real-life issues.”

“No, you are not objective because you’re the party involved.” Most would think that she was with Brother Zhai as she was lusting after the Zhai family’s wealth. That was a common reaction by a typical person, and so did Sister Zhai Hua. That went to show that Sister Zhai Hua was actually conscious of such details in life. “Nevertheless, please continue.”

“It’s like that. Wei De wants to make a trip back to his hometown next month and bring this child over. He hopes that I will be able to nurture a relationship with this child. Wei De said that that child is quite smart, good-looking, and very obedient. He said that when the child is able to behave better and not so mischievous, he will let me bring him back to the Zhai family for my parents to look after and relieve their boredom. He said that a child will definitely bring a lot of joy and laughter to a family. After getting along with this child for some time, my parents may wish that our future child will be as adorable. Their hearts may soften and they will agree to our relationship. Do you think this situation is simple?”

Simple?

Not at all!

Qiao Nan simply told Zhai Hua about the situation between Zhu Baoguo and Wang Yang. “Sister Zhai Hua, do you think that Wang Yang is simple?”

Wang Yang ostracized Zhu Baoguo from Elder Zhu. He then tried to get close to and gain favor from Elder Zhu every day. Did Wang Yang purely want to be a good grandson to let Elder Zhu enjoy the joy of having his family and grandchildren close to him?

He must be kidding!

“This is just the son of his adopted younger sister, not even his biological nephew. Why is he taking care of him and making arrangements as if this is his own son?” Shi Qing asked, speechless.

Zhai Hua had a headache and she scratched her head. “I didn’t think that this matter would be so complicated earlier. I have already agreed to this. If I tell him not to let that child come now, it’s not that good, right?”

“Sister Zhai Hua, since you look for me today, I will be blunt with my words. If Wei De wants that child to come, that’s fine. You can also take the chance to make more observations. You’re a soldier and you don’t spend a lot of time at home. How will you have so much time to spare to help them take care of the child? You don’t need to intervene in how he brings up this nephew. Let Wei De arrange it on his own. If Wei De wants you to bring that child to the Zhai family, you can just decline. Without much thinking, you should understand that the old chief and Auntie Miao may not welcome the child even if he is Wei De’s biological nephew, let alone the fact that the identity of this child is a little awkward now. You don’t need to make it too obvious. You can just say that Auntie Miao’s health is not very good and can’t be disturbed by the noise of children. Furthermore, this matter is in your hands. If you don’t wish to, will Wei De have the capability to bring the child to the Zhai family on his own?”

If Wei De really had the capability, he would not have pleaded with Sister Zhai Hua.

Sister Zhai Hua was the prerequisite for Wei De to enter the door of the Zhai family. Regardless of what Wei De had in mind, he would not be able to accomplish anything without Sister Zhai Hua’s help.

“Fine, I’ll do that.” Zhai Hua immediately slapped her hand on the floor. “My parents have not even accepted the matter between me and him. It’s definitely not appropriate for the nephew to come into the picture at this point in time. In the future, I won’t be cajoled in this way by Wei De anymore. Why have I been coaxed into a brainless person?”

“Sister Zhai Hua, don’t get too worked up. Remember that a woman in love is blind. If you can’t decide or feel that it’s not appropriate to tell me, I think you can look for Shi Qing. Shi Qing will still be able to give you a few earnest opinions.” Qiao Nan pushed Shi Qing out and let Shi Qing become her scapegoat.

It was tough being a good person. In particular, it was tougher to be a ‘good person’ that was in between lovers.

If this was not handled properly, perhaps Zhai Hua would put all the blame on Qiao Nan. It would be so awkward for the two of them to live under the same roof in the future.

Shi Qing, who had been ‘pushed forward’, did not flare up either. Anyway, she did not see eye to eye with Wei De. “It’s fine, Sister Zhai Hua. You helped me in the past. Now, I’ll help you.”

Zhai Hua gave a nod and agreed. She really could not do this alone.
