Chapter 1824: Making a Move

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao Nan was not afraid of 'speaking' to Chen Jun. She was simply afraid that Chen Jun would use brute force and drag her away. What would she do then? Chen Jun was a commissioner and was about to be transferred. She, on the other hand, was just a normal civilian. How would she be able to fight back against Chen Jun?

Qiao Nan turned pale at the thought of this and quickly called her landlord, requesting some assistance. She was renting an apartment, after all. Chen Jun would have nothing to say about her landlord coming to check on someone damaging her property.

But the strange thing was that her landlord did not pick up her call, and the call went straight to her landlord's voicemail. Could it be that her landlord had forgotten to bring her phone along with her? The problem was that she could not afford to wait any longer with this present situation.

Qiao Nan needed someone, but she was in Qingshui Town, an unfamiliar environment. Now that it was almost the new year, her neighbors had mostly returned to their hometowns to celebrate. Even those who had stayed behind were probably working overtime. Because her landlord was unreachable, there was no one Qiao Nan could turn to.

In that moment, Qiao Nan suddenly realized that her entire mind was filled with Zhai Sheng's name. She had truly been too affected by her dream. Thankfully, after thinking of Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan thought of another person: Xiao Xu.

Xiao Xu was the landlord's son and would definitely inherit the house in the future. If she was unable to get in contact with her landlord, getting in touch with Xiao Xu was fine as well. Xiao Xu was still in the army, and his strength should not be any less than Chen Jun's. If she got anyone else to help her, she would even have to worry whether those people would be a match for Chen Jun. They might even get punched by Chen Jun instead!

But if Xiao Xu were to turn up, Qiao Nan would not have to worry about that. As such, Qiao Nan took a deep breath and quickly took out her phone to make a call to Zhai Sheng. She had no other choice since she did not know Xiao Xu's mobile phone number. Thus, she could only call Zhai Sheng to look for Xiao Xu.

"Chief, Sister Qiao is calling." Since that first time he had heard the conversation between the chief and his family, Xiao Xu realized that he had been unable to face Qiao Nan. The chief had truly fallen for Sister Qiao and wanted Sister Qiao to be his wife. Thinking about how his brothers in the military had been worried about the chief staying single at his age and wondering about what kind of woman the chief would eventually marry, Xiao Xu almost suffocated from holding such a huge secret in. He could hardly wait to rush back to break the news to all of his comrades.

Seeing Qiao Nan call Zhai Sheng, Xiao Xu was so excited that he nearly dropped the phone. The chief's wife was calling the chief!!

"Oh, bring it over." Overlooking Xiao Xu's excitement, Zhai Sheng's eyes glimmered. This was the first time Qiao Nan called him on her own accord after getting his number. "Hello, Qiao Nan."

"Bro Zhai!" Zhai Sheng answered the call immediately, causing Qiao Nan's voice to change. Zhai Sheng could sense that something was amiss through Qiao Nan's tone. "What's wrong? And what's that noise over on your side? Are your neighbors fighting?"

"Bro Zhai, I'm looking for Xiao Xu. I'm in a little trouble. Can you get Xiao Xu to make a trip down?" Qiao Nan did not give a direct answer and only asked Xiao Xu to make his way to her rented apartment. Looking at how Chen Jun was kicking up a fuss, Qiao Nan was afraid that Chen Jun might just tear down her rented apartment.

From the call, it was only natural that Zhai Sheng was not able to figure out what kind of trouble Qiao Nan had gotten into. But this did not stop Zhai Sheng from wanting to help Qiao Nan. "All right, we'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, Zhai Sheng stood up from his wheelchair. "Xiao Xu, get the car out and follow me to Qiao Nan's."

"Oh, all right." Because the phone call had been so short, Xiao Xu had not been able to hear the contents of the call. But Xiao Xu did not think that it was strange for Zhai Sheng to go and find Qiao Nan. In fact, Xiao Xu wondered why the chief was not taking any actions on his own since he had feelings for Sister Qiao and since his parents had already come all the way to meet their daughter-in-law. Could it be that the chief was waiting for Qiao Nan to ask to be his wife?

Now that the chief was finally making a move, Xiao Xu supported him all the way and quickly drove the car out. Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing, who had just returned from their walk, asked Xiao Xu, "Where are you going?"

"Old Chief, Madam Zhai, the chief is going to meet Sister Qiao."

"He's finally making a move?" Zhai Yaohui had the same thought. They had already been here for three days but had not seen that young lady even once. After several chats, Zhai Yaohui had gotten a better understanding of Qiao Nan. All right, it seemed that his son had fallen for a lady who did not care for him and one who knew her place and had been keeping her distance from him.

No wonder Zhai Sheng had not allowed Miao Miao and him to pick an expensive gift for Qiao Nan. If Zhai Sheng's description of Qiao Nan was accurate, a bracelet worth a hundred thousand yuan might very well scare Qiao Nan off.

"Can we tag along to take a look? Old Zhai and I can make our own way there." If they were to ask Zhai Sheng, he would surely reject that suggestion. After hearing praises of that lady, she had to see and experience it for herself. Miao Jing pushed Zhai Yaohui to agree.

She could not count on her son, so she could only hope that her man would be able to satisfy her desires.

"There's no hurry. Once your son settles your daughter-in-law, he'll bring her to meet you." Zhai Yaohui was curious as well. But as a father-in-law, he had to be steady and mature in front of his daughter-in-law. Since that lady was in no hurry, all the more they should not be in a hurry. They had to be steady and wait.

Otherwise, they might leave a bad impression on their daughter-in-law. "All right, hurry on. Don't let Zhai Sheng wait for you."

"Okay." Xiao Xu drove to the door, where Zhai Sheng was already waiting. "Chief, where's the wheelchair?"

"We won't bring it." If the noise in the call was not from her neighbor but from the trouble Qiao Nan was talking about, going in a wheelchair would be creating more trouble for Qiao Nan instead of helping her. "Drive faster. I'm clearest about my own body. I don't have much problem moving around now."

"Oh, okay." Xiao Xu nodded curiously. Just a few days earlier, the old chief and Madam Zhai had wanted to meet Sister Qiao, but the chief had refused to make an appointment with Sister Qiao. It seemed a little rushed that the chief was suddenly being so passionate today.

It was only when Xiao Xu parked his car did he realize why Zhai Sheng was in such a hurry. "F*ck! Who's that kicking my door?" Of course Xiao Xu recognized his own house. "Wait a minute. Isn't that Sister Qiao's rented apartment? Has he gotten the wrong person? Even so, he shouldn't kick on the door!"
