Chapter 1375 A Man That He Could Not Afford to Provoke
Qiao Nan got in through the back door and joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with He Yi’s help, and the two of them were involved in sexual and power dealings. In that case, Qiao Nan should be the one who gave presents to He Yi to thank him. Why was it the other way round?
It was bizarre that the person who requested a favor received gifts from the person who rendered help.
Deng Wenchang gritted his teeth and braced himself before he walked forward to greet Qiao Nan. “Uncle He, Qiao Nan, both of you are here. It’s such a coincidence. By the way, this is…” To Deng Wenchang, Zhai Sheng, who stood next to Qiao Nan, was a pain in the eye.
How dared he snatch He Yi’s woman? Deng Wenchang was dying to ask Zhai Sheng: Were you a fool who came out from the dark corners? You must be tremendously daring to snatch his woman!
Zhai Sheng stretched out his hand. “Hi, I am Qiao Nan’s husband.”
Deng Wenchang was used to this kind of greeting when he was overseas, and he dared not play any tricks as Zhai Sheng exuded a righteous aura. He stretched his hand abidingly and shook Zhai Sheng’s hands, saying his greetings. “It turned out that you are Qiao Nan’s boyfriend. Nice to meet you.” He was so shameless. How dared he introduce himself as Qiao Nan’s husband in front of Qiao Nan’s lover, He Yi?
Could it be that people who were dating nowadays liked to introduce their boyfriend as their husband?
Deng Wenchang checked He Yi for his response secretly. As a man, when another man claimed that he was the boyfriend of his lover, he could not possibly have no reaction to it.
However, Deng Wenchang did not notice any changes in He Yi’s expression. Zhai Sheng tightened his grip on Deng Wenchang’s hand. He felt a terrible pain and could almost hear his bones make cracking sounds under the pressure. This was not a handshake. Zhai Sheng’s intention must be to crush his bones and maim him.
Both He Yi and Qiao Nan witnessed the scene. They had the tacit understanding to pretend not to see anything. Before Deng Wenchang shouted out in pain, Zhai Sheng had loosened his grip on his hand. However, Deng Wenchang had already turned pale from the pain just now.
“Comrade, you may have missed it just now. I am Nan Nan’s husband, her legal husband.” Zhai Sheng taught Deng Wenchang a lesson. He was very displeased that he was hard of hearing and slow-witted.
Husband.
It was such a simple term. Couldn’t Deng Wenchang understand this term?
He could not be bothered to know why Peng Yu wanted to get such a brainless fool to help him. But he felt perplexed that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had such low entry requirements. Notwithstanding offering him a permanent position, the ministry should not have offered Deng Wenchang an internship position in the first place.
He Yi caught Zhai Sheng’s accusatory gaze and smiled bitterly. His old friend boasted to him about Deng Wenchang’s abilities and that Deng Wenchang was good at pretending. That was why he fell for their lies and thought that Deng Wenchang, who came back from overseas study, was competent. Although he did not go against the regulations, he was lax on the requirements and thought that what he was doing was, in fact, recruiting another talent for the country.
However, He Yi no longer held the view that Deng Wenchang was a rare talent and that he was helpful to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He was terribly slow especially when he was being foolish.
Deng Wenchang restrained himself from shaking the pain off his hands. “Husband? Are the two of you married?”
“That’s right.” He finally understood simple words and knew what he was saying.
“He… hehe.” Deng Wenchang sneered. “Congratulations… to the… both of you.” It turned out that not only was He Yi having an affair, but Qiao Nan was also a married woman. She was so daring to seduce a married man. She was not ashamed of herself at all!
Her husband and her lover ran into each other in public. Qiao Nan was indeed capable such that her two men did not quarrel when they met each other in public. Qiao Nan was good at taming her husband, and she was just as good at taming her lover.
She was a college student who had yet to graduate, yet she was already married. He was right about her. She was incompetent but she was not content with one’s lot. It was better for him to come up with a way to drive Qiao Nan away from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was for the best interests of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
There were indeed many people with complicated and messy relationships nowadays.
Deng Wenchang looked at Qiao Nan with a hideous gaze. His sinister look gave one an uncomfortable feeling. Zhai Sheng knitted his brows. He felt like hitting him with his fist. He was a useless fool who was stupid and opinionated. Where did Minister He get a man like him?
He could not understand the simplest words and he liked to let his imagination run wild. He was such a peculiar person.
He Yi smiled bitterly at Zhai Sheng. If he had known that Deng Wenchang was such a person, he would not have invited trouble for himself by agreeing to the request of Deng Wenchang’s father to help Deng Wenchang. It was too late now. This fool had become an intern at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and he was driven by wild ambitions to usurp him and take his position.
He was shooting himself in the foot.
He Yi might feel pain in the leg, but he could not cry out in pain in front of everyone. He could only force a smile on his face as he stifled the pain.
“Alright, I will leave with Nan Nan.” The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was not Zhai Sheng’s territory. For the time being, he had no control over whether Deng Wenchang could stay in the ministry or not. It was better for him to leave with Qiao Nan as soon as possible and to look at his adorable children at home so as to cleanse his eyes.
Zhai Sheng waited until they got into the car before he asked Qiao Nan. “Is that man always that self-involved and a joker?” Zhai Sheng seldom met people as peculiar as him and he was particularly curious about him.
Qiao Nan buckled the seat belt. “I don’t know him well and we have only been working together for less than two months. All I know is that since the first day I met him, he was already like this. He could not take in the words that other people said and he could not stand the work that other people did. He seemed to be living in his own world and looking at things based on his own judgment.”
To Deng Wenchang, the truth was all lies.
“Uncle He, you never mentioned that Qiao Nan is married. What is the surname of Qiao Nan’s husband? I don’t remember seeing him in the past.” Deng Wenchang stared at Zhai Sheng’s car. The car was astonishing and expensive. Most importantly, Qiao Nan’s husband did not seem like someone who would tolerate being made a cuckold.
Although this was the first time he met Zhai Sheng, his impression of Zhai Sheng was that he was not one to be trifled with. He could not afford to provoke Zhai Sheng.
