Chapter 1493: Completely Pale

Young mistress of the Peng family?

Was it that easy?

This time, Qiao Nan had Qiu Chenxi tremble in anger.

The Peng family was looking for blind dates for Peng Yu, but as long as Peng Yu liked her, how could they not let her become the young mistress of the Peng family? In reality, the moment the Peng family let out the news that they were seeking blind dates for Peng Yu and were even looking at marriage within half a year, Qiu Chenxi had become the biggest joke in the circle. And so, many powerful figures got to know of the existence of Qiu Chenxi through such a unique way.

It could be said that Qiu Chenxi became famous overnight through this alternative method.

In the past, Qiu Chenxi had ridden on the laurels of the Peng family. Now, she was facing double the humiliation and ridicules so much so that she was too ashamed to meet anyone.

“Seeing how you’re so excited, I’m guessing I’ll be attending your wedding with Peng Yu soon? When the time comes, please don’t try to be polite. I’ll definitely give you a nice red packet. No matter what, we’ve known each other for a long time.” Qiu Chenxi was raging, but Qiao Nan acted as though she did not understand. “Forget it. I might have something on and may not able to attend your wedding personally. How about I wish you and Peng Yu a happy future ahead even though it doesn’t seem appropriate during such an occasion like today’s?”

Qiao Nan had been using these words excessively, but the problem was that Qiao Nan loved using them. They were so useful. Only a few words could save her time and effort and even give a slap in the face at the same time.

“I’m so sorry. Please excuse me.” After enraging Qiu Chenxi, Qiao Nan felt as though the knot in her chest had been unbound and her mood lifted considerably. When she met other people, the sadness in her eyes had also lessened.

Seeing the kind of impact Qiu Chenxi, whom he had brought along, had on Qiao Nan, Shi Peng was amazed.

There was such a kind of person in the world: women!

Qiu Chenxi stomped her feet. What did Qiao Nan have to be proud of? Her biological parents were not good, and her master who had been the only one to cherish her had just passed away. What right did Qiao Nan have to act all high and mighty in front of her? At least, she had a mother who was devoted to her by her side. As for her dad, before he went in, he had also treated his only daughter well.

Compared to her, Qiao Nan was the one who was in need of some sympathy.

“Godmother.”

“Godfather.” The Shi couple had not been there for long before Shi Qing and Zhu Baoguo arrived. The couple’s faces were somber as they walked to Qiao Nan and took off their military caps. “Please take this in your stride.”

“Thank you.”

Zhu Baoguo and Shi Qing lit incense for the two old men before Zhu Baoguo went to see Zhai Sheng, while Shi Qing stayed by Qiao Nan’s side and went to see the three children. “Are you… alright?” When she posed that question, Shi Qing paid no attention to Qiao Dongliang, who had already moved to the capital.

Shi Qing knew that Qiao Nan had asked Qiao Dongliang to move to the capital and had even purchased a house for Qiao Dongliang to live in. This was not because of a good father-daughter relationship, but simply because Qiao Nan felt that she had the obligation as a daughter. If they wanted to talk about relationships, Qiao Dongliang probably had a better relationship with the three children.

Now that Old Lin was no longer around, Shi Qing could hardly believe how Qiao Nan could have survived through this period.

“Good or not, as long as I’m still here, life has to go on. Besides, I still have Brother Zhai and the three children. I’m not the same me from before. I’m sad that master is gone, but I know that I’m not without anything.” Unlike in her past life up until she had been hit by a car and died, although she had resentment and hatred in her heart, there was an even greater sense of relief.

Because at that time, she had been single.

Perhaps no one would shed tears for her death, and some people may even have gotten a huge sum of compensation and rejoiced at her death.

For the people she loved and who loved her, Qiao Nan would not let herself be beaten down just like this. “Life is filled with joy but also sorrow. Just give me a little more time.”

Shi Qing nodded. “Da Bao, you three, spend more time with your mom, okay? It has really not been easy for your mom to come to where she is now. You won’t even be able to imagine how much she has suffered.”

Shi Qing wanted the three children to know that it was difficult for their mother in the past. It was just that the three children’s relationships with their maternal grandfather were pretty good. If she were to say that, she was afraid that the children were too young and would classify things too clearly as either black or white. Then, the matter would only worsen.

When the three children were older and understood that there were rights and wrongs in love in the world and that not everything was so clean-cut, there would still be time for her to tell them about what Qiao Nan had gone through.

Uncle Qiao was unsuitable as a father, but he was not a bad grandfather.

Thinking about how the three children had just lost the love from the two elders, it would be too cruel to let them know about how bad their beloved grandfather had been in the past.

Most importantly, she was not saying this to turn the three children against their grandfather. She only hoped that the three children would better understand Qiao Nan, comfort her, and help her get out of the grief from losing Old Lin.

“We understand.” Da Bao nodded. “It’s been hard on Mom.” Da Bao stood by Qiao Nan like a caring young lady, acknowledging that Qiao Nan had toiled hard. “Mom has to go to work, send us to school, and still has to care about our studies. When we’re at home and have problems we don’t understand or cannot solve, we always ask Mom. Mom is like our teacher. She knows everything.”

In reality, the way Da Bao put it was already quite modest.

Qiao Nan was a gifted student who had graduated from Peking University. She enjoyed reading and read books of all genres. Unlike professional teachers, however, Qiao Nan paid more attention to exposing herself to a wide range of knowledge and mastering them.

Young children were strange, and at times, posed questions that ordinary adults would not be able to handle. But every time the three children thought of any bizarre questions, Qiao Nan would be able to give accurate answers more than seventy to eighty percent of the time.

Even if she could not answer them, Qiao Nan would honestly say, “Sorry, Mom doesn’t know the answer to this question either. How about we search it up together? Whoever finds the answer first will tell the other.”

Every time the three children got an answer to their questions, they would be elated.

When the three children started attending school and faced similar problems, they would naturally rush to ask their teacher. It was still fine when they were in the nursery. If they asked five questions, the teachers would still be able to answer at least two or three. But when they started primary school, everything changed.
