Chapter 2237: There Was No Solution
Yes, there were no sick children in the third and fourth generations of the Zhai family. As premature triplets, they could still be so healthy. It really made people envious.
After knowing that there were three more children in the Zhai family this year, those who came to visit and send their greetings prepared a lot of baby things. The Zhai family would generally refuse if they were things for adults but not if they were for the children.
Of course, the biggest change was that these people looked at Qiao Nan differently now. Although it was the 21st century now and the Qing Dynasty was gone for a long time, children, especially sons, were really very important to a family.
The Zhai family didn’t have the habit to favor boys over girls, let alone that Qiao Nan gave birth to three children at once and two of them were sons. As such, Qiao Nan’s position in the Zhai family was very stable, and it could be said to be as strong as iron. Qiao Nan had a foothold in the Zhai family and her status as the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law was unshakable. Thus, those people who wanted the Zhai family to give face to them had to be polite to Qiao Nan. They couldn’t despise Qiao Nan like before.
Once Qiao Nan was unhappy, the Zhai family might really fight with them, the long-time friends, over a daughter-in-law like Qiao Nan.
Unless absolutely necessary, who would be willing to become an enemy of the Zhai family? Regardless if they fancied a girl with a background like Qiao Nan, she was married to the Zhai family, not their son. Why should they care so much?
As such, these people put away their contempt for Qiao Nan. A few people who were peers or were of the same age as Qiao Nan expressed that they wanted to befriend her. When everyone was free, they could come out for a chat, drink tea, go shopping, and so on.
In her previous life, Qiao Nan didn’t have a lot of close friends, but it wasn’t that she had none. Furthermore, based on her friendship with Shi Qing, Qiao Nan didn’t need to expand her circle of friends at all. However, reality was different from her dream. As such, Qiao Nan didn’t completely reject these people who showed kind intentions. Instead, she picked a few who looked kinder to socialize with.
If any problems were found during the process of socializing, the people that should be changed would naturally be changed. If there were no problems, it was alright to maintain a cordial relationship with them. Qiao Nan knew very clearly that she wasn’t helping herself to make friends but for the Zhai family. After all, in such a circle, there must be some sources of information. If they didn’t have a ‘friend’ and the flow of information was blocked, it wouldn’t be beneficial to the development of the Zhai family.
As such, Qiao Nan’s attitude toward making friends was very obvious. Qiao Nan wouldn’t flatter those who were born well just because she had an inferior family background. She also wouldn’t become proud and look down on anyone just because she was now the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law. No matter who the other party was, Qiao Nan would treat everyone equally.
The way Qiao Nan handled things made a few people truly appreciate her. Qiao Nan wasn’t the first person to have suddenly married well while having a lowly background. It was just that the examples from before weren’t good and problems would always happen. There were only a few couples who could make it to the end. As such, after Qiao Nan married Zhai Sheng, everyone wasn’t particularly optimistic about this marriage.
However, it seemed that there were indeed exceptions to everything.
“I can’t enter.” There was a circle the Zhai family had relationships with and there was someone who was trying all means to befriend Qiao Nan. Only if they were friends could some matters be communicated properly face-to-face. If there was broken communication in the middle, everyone would be getting lesser benefits. What was difficult was that people couldn’t enter the Zhai family’s door as and when they liked. For this reason, Wang Yang’s wife had a headache. After repeated attempts, she was still giving Wang Yang a disappointing answer.
Wang Yang didn’t celebrate the new year well this year. In fact, he became more haggard after that. “There’s no way at all?” Wang Yang was pretty angry. The Zhai family wasn’t the emperor of ancient times. Why was it so difficult to meet Zhai Sheng or Qiao Nan?
Earlier, Wang Yang had told Zhai Sheng through others that they should have a meeting. It was a pity that no matter who Wang Yang looked for, Zhai Sheng always refused in the end. When Wang Yang was little, he was afraid of Zhai Sheng. After growing up, it became a habit.
Wang Yang heaved a sigh of relief and also felt helpless when he couldn’t see Zhai Sheng.
Since Zhai Sheng’s side was inaccessible, Wang Yang could only try harder on Qiao Nan’s side. It probably wouldn’t work if he went to find Qiao Nan directly. Wang Yang knew Qiao Nan but he felt that she didn’t know him. If he rushed over to find her, Qiao Nan would think that he was up to no good. How would she be willing to sit down and have a chat with him?
It was easier for a woman to communicate with a woman rather than a man. At this time, Wang Yang asked his wife to step up again. He counted on her to help him contact Qiao Nan. Wang Yang even taught his wife that if she could really see Qiao Nan, she should cry and act pitiful in front of her.
After marrying Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan was neither lacking in money nor status. She might become softhearted and agree to their requests.
Who knew that although it was a good idea, reality was more demoralizing? How was it easy to meet Qiao Nan? Wang Yang himself couldn’t enter the gate of the compound, let alone his wife.
Even if Wang Yang’s wife said that she was a close friend of Qiao Nan, she was similarly denied entry. What era was it now? Were they friends just because they said they were? They could be let in if they were friends. However, even if Qiao Nan had just made new friends, she wouldn’t have forgotten so quickly what their names were, right?
When Wang Yang asked again, his wife nearly cried. “No way at all.” She was from Ping Cheng, not the capital. When she was in Ping Cheng, she didn’t know Qiao Nan. When she was in the capital, of course there were no opportunities or channels to get to know her. Ways? She hoped that she could think of ways too.
One had to know that such a huge sum of inheritance concerned her villa, big house, and a house full of branded handbags!
Even if not for Wang Yang, her husband, she also hoped that she could contact Qiao Nan as soon as possible for herself. Wang Yang said that if she managed to reach Qiao Nan, they wouldn’t have to go through Qiao Zijin to know her. As such, the five million yuan that Wang Yang intended to give to Qiao Zijin would be given to her instead. She was free to spend it however she liked. Even if she gave it all to her unworthy brother, Wang Yang wouldn’t care.
