“I know…” Fang Fang, who was on the other side the phone, sounded monotonous.It was not that Fang Fang wanted to shun Gao Yan. The fact was that Gao Yan’s intelligence was completely lacking sometimes. Often times, Gao Yan would behave in this manner seven to eight out of ten times in front of her.

Each time she encountered such situations, Fang Fang could not help doubting how Gao Yan managed to start up a company. She even heard that he had been managing his business very well. Could it be that those who did businesses with Gao Yan were the greatest fools amongst the fools?

However, she was once again speechless when she thought of Gao Yan’s consistent and excellent academic performance since he was a child. “The phone in my house shows the caller’s ID. Thank you!” He frequently made calls to her home. If she could not even remember Gao Yan’s cell phone number, she should start doubting what she had learned in Mathematics during the nine years of compulsory education and three years of senior high school studies.

“Oh.” Gao Yan did not lose his temper despite being shunned by Fang Fang. “Are my parents already at your house?”

At the mention of this, Fang Fang felt even angrier. Didn’t Gao Yan’s family come to the capital earlier than hers? They had a car and property. Why did Gao Yan like to come to her house and get a free meal every time? Couldn’t he go home to take his meals?

“Both uncle and auntie are here.”

If there were only Gao Yan and the two of them were having a private conversation, Fang Fang would definitely shoo Gao Yan without reservation, asking him to go home. However, the elders of both families were present. Fang Fang’s attitude to Gao Yan was not good but she was very nice to Father Gao and Mother Gao. She would always greet them sweetly.

As such, Fang Fang’s annoyance was only restricted to Gao Yan.

“Fine, give me a minute. I will arrive at your house soon. I have a gift for you.” Gao Yan smiled. Qiao Nan was not only married but was also a mother of three now. Fang Fang was Qiao Nan’s former classmate. They could not fall behind others too badly either. Even if they could not get married and have children now, it was not too much to become engaged first, right?

Putting aside whether Gao Yan, who had planned for a long time, managed to successfully propose to Fang Fang with his present.

At the sight of Tian Dong putting behind his gloom and becoming more cheerful, it was obvious that the meet-up today was very successful. On the second day, Auntie Tian was polite and all smiles when she brought many gifts to the Zhai family to thank Qiao Nan. “Nan Nan really helped us a lot this time.”

Auntie Tian was in a dilemma too. Until now, she was still in a daze and could not really figure out how the ‘poor relative’ in her eyes could be of help to her son. As a result, her son would most likely strike a deal that was extremely important to the progress of his company after returning to the home country.

Although this ‘poor relative’ did not have much of a background, she knew many people. Qiao Nan might not be in any less desirable state even if Lin Yuankang was not her master.

It was obvious that Mother Tian was more affectionate this time. Nevertheless, Qiao Nan was neither smug nor arrogant. She behaved normally, as if Mother Tian had always adopted the same attitude toward her all this while. Her mature and gracious style lit up the eyes of others. “You have been too polite. You’re brother-in-law’s mother. Sister Zhai Hua still requires more of your care in the future. Moreover, much of the credit goes to brother-in-law himself. I didn’t help that much.”

Qiao Nan wanted to let Zhai Hua take the credit.

She had a good mother-in-law. Hence, Qiao Nan hoped that her sister-in-law could have one too.

She made the Tian family accept that they owed Zhai Hua a favor. If there were anything that the Tian family did not like about Zhai Hua, Qiao Nan hoped that the two elders in the Tian family could be more forgiving toward Zhai Hua in the future on the account of the Zhai family or this matter.

As for herself, Qiao Nan had never thought of using a piece of clothing to gain anything from the Tian family.

As for how the Tian family of three thought of her eventually, Qiao Nan was not concerned. Zhai Hua, not her, would be the one living with the Tian family of three. After she gained enough favor for her sister-in-law, the rest of the matters did not bother her.

Qiao Nan had heard from Zhai Sheng about Tian Shouyi’s doings. Compared to Tian Shouyi, Tian Shouxin and family were extremely kind. However, no one was perfect. Who did not have weaknesses? She was not money. Why would everyone behave like her mother-in-law and cherish her like a treasure?

Qiao Nan adopted a normal attitude. Never did she feel that she should not receive such treatment just because she was the daughter-in-law of the Zhai family. As such, she came across as an outstanding and striking individual to the Tian family.

Mother Tian let out a sigh of exasperation. She had no choice but to take her hat off to Qiao Nan.

In the past, she had not interacted much with Qiao Nan. Thus, she had reservation toward this ‘young’ daughter-in-law of the Zhai family. After coming into contact with her, she realized that she had been projecting her own shortcomings on others. Furthermore, she was the elder and Qiao Nan the junior. Their roles seemed to have been completely reversed earlier.

This was such a good child. It was no wonder that all of the Zhai family sided with Qiao Nan.

If it were her, she would also be fond of Qiao Nan—no, she was already fond of Qiao Nan. She was very glad that her future daughter-in-law could have such a good sister-in-law, who placed all the credit of the success of this business deal on her daughter-in-law.

It would be her family’s matter to owe their daughter-in-law this favor. However, owing Qiao Nan a favor would mean that they owed the Zhai family one.

Regardless of how effortless it was for Qiao Nan to help the Tian family today, a favor was a favor. This was a fact that could not be changed. The Tian family would still feel the pinch if they wished to return the favor to the Zhai family as they would need to pay a high price for it.

It was only until this moment that Mother Tian truly understood why Zhai Hua sided so much with Qiao Nan. She did not even give any face to her son, her future husband, because of Qiao Nan.

It was all due to mutual sincerity.

If Qiao Nan was not so good to Hua Hua, Hua Hua would not place Qiao Nan in such an important place in her heart.

It was possible that Qiao Nan’s existence was not the Zhai family’s only shortcoming. Perhaps Qiao Nan’s existence would make the Zhai family become increasingly dazzling in the future such that no one could hold a stick to.

There was no problem with the future in-laws at all. Nothing was happier than such a situation to the Tian family who was going to become relatives with the Zhai family.

After sorting out her thoughts, Mother Tian’s attitude was more affectionate when she chatted with Miao Jing. It was obvious that she was more sincere. Especially when she mentioned Qiao Nan, the praises did not seem to cost any money. She praised Qiao Nan so much, as if the latter was a divine who was out of this world. “Sister Miao, you are so blessed. Me too. Nothing will go wrong if Hua Hua interacts more with Qiao Nan in the future.”

Just based on this incident alone, Qiao Nan was very brilliant in dealing with people. Hua Hua was often in the army. Besides carrying out missions, she was not as good as Qiao Nan in this area.

One is marked by the company one keeps. If Hua Hua were to learn more from Nan Nan, the Tian family should have good fortune in the future too.

Both her daughter-in-law and daughter had received the affirmation of the in-laws. As such, Miao Jing was both overjoyed and proud.
