Chapter 1827: Rubbish

In front of outsiders, especially since he had already humiliated himself, Chen Jun's attitude toward Qiao Nan hardened and his words were nasty and mean. But whatever Chen Jun had said was the truth.

"Is that so? How good are you?" Zhai Sheng laughed. It was truly a novel experience for Zhai Sheng that a man was bragging about himself in front of him and was even trying to snatch away the woman he liked.

Zhai Sheng posed that question as he stood by Qiao Nan. Zhai Sheng's small action was enough for all the men present to understand what Zhai Sheng meant. Only Qiao Nan thought that Zhai Sheng had stood beside her to embolden her.

Xiao Xu's eyes widened like saucers. Was the chief finally showing off his power?

Chen Jun's eyes were red in anger. A young one had just left, and now it was this old guy's turn?! Qiao Nan had indeed found some wild men. No wonder Qiao Nan refused to accept his apology and forgive him no matter how hard he begged. "What are you… And you are… Aren't you just a pair of rotten old sneakers? I didn't know that there are so many people who like collecting rubbish in this world. I guess you aren't very well off yourself if you're willing to accept someone like Qiao Nan at your age. You're just a lousy good! I'll give her to you if you want her!"

The enraged Chen Jun was now speaking freely and started to insult Qiao Nan.

Zhai Sheng, whose expression had been rather peaceful all this time, narrowed his eyes and tilted his body as soon as he heard Chen Jun's words. He pushed Chen Jun ever so slightly, and Chen Jun fell straight to the ground some distance away. For a while, Chen Jun was so stunned that he had not been able to pick himself up.

"You…" Chen Jun had already known about Xiao Xu's martial arts skills. Xiao Xu had been able to subdue him, and with the different aura that he gave off, Chen Jun understood perfectly that Xiao Xu was from the military. But unlike him, Xiao Xu had undergone more rigorous and torturous training to have such amazing skills.

In short, this young man was a soldier.

The problem was that Chen Jun had gotten an idea of Xiao Xu's identity, but he had not focused on Zhai Sheng, who seemed to be an old man who had trouble even walking.

But now that Zhai Sheng had shown his hand, Chen Jun could not help but take notice. "Who are you? I-Is your surname Zhai?"

The Zhai family held an extraordinary position in Ping Cheng.

Chen Jun had taken a great amount of effort to get to know Wang Yang. Of course, his true target had not been Wang Yang, but the Zhu family who was backing Wang Yang. The Zhai family had been of the same status as the Zhu family and had even surpassed the Zhu family by now. How could Chen Jun not want to get acquainted with the Zhai family that was even more impressive than the Zhu family?

Of course he did!

The problem was that Chen Jun had only managed to get acquainted with Wang Yang because of his girlfriend, Qiao Nan. It would be even harder to get connected to the Zhai family and become part of the Zhai family.

Chen Jun knew of the Zhai family's situation but had never interacted with any of them in the past. After stealing a few glances at Zhai Sheng, Chen Jun felt that Zhai Sheng looked particularly familiar. Chen Jun's dark expression immediately turned pale. Could he be that important figure?

That was impossible. If such an important person were to appear, there would definitely be a whole bunch of people surrounding him. Besides, the Zhai family had already moved to the capital a few years ago. Why would they appear in such a remote town like Qingshui? Wait a minute. The Zhai family's old villa seemed to be in Qingshui Town. After Chief Zhai's grandpa passed on, the Zhai family had returned to Qingshui Town to rebuild the old villa.

So it was not entirely impossible for Zhai Sheng to appear in Qingshui Town.

"What does it have to do with you whether our chief's surname is Zhai?" Humph, who was he to question the chief with such a tone? His chief was amazing! He had thrown that rascal out with only one hand!

Xiao Xu's words pretty much admitted Zhai Sheng's identity, indirectly proving that Chen Jun's conjecture had been correct.

Upon confirming who Zhai Sheng was, Chen Jun did not know how to react. He had just claimed that Qiao Nan would never be able to find someone better than him. In less than a minute, someone who was several times better than him, and someone whom he aspired to be was standing right next to Qiao Nan, and that person had even publicly declared his thoughts toward Qiao Nan.

This slap in the face was extremely painful for Chen Jun.

Since he was already a chief and at the peak of his life, why did he have to snatch these old ladies who could not get married from insignificant soldiers like himself? Was there a need to have such a particular taste? Could he not simply pick a few young and pretty ladies?

"Are you going to stay to kick up an even greater fuss, or are you going to leave?" Zhai Sheng respected Qiao Nan's decision. Since Qiao Nan did not have any intentions of quarreling with Chen Jun or settling their old scores and wanted only for Chen Jun to leave as quickly as possible, there was no reason for Zhai Sheng to say otherwise.

Upon hearing Chen Jun's feelings for Qiao Nan and his desire to reconcile with Qiao Nan and marry her, Zhai Sheng had been anxious for a split second.

Perhaps ordinary people would think that Chen Jun would be able to get married to someone better with his status. Why did he have to turn back and get back together with Qiao Nan, who was like a flower that was almost wilting? But only Zhai Sheng understood that Chen Jun was not being foolish. In fact, Chen Jun's mind was exceptionally clear, and this was truly a smart move.

Who said that pretty and young women were the best? What nonsense!

Most of those who looked for pretty and young girls were not really looking for good women to marry and have children together. No matter how young or beautiful these women were, there would eventually come a day when these flowers would wilt. When that time came, would these men suddenly change their preferences for women?

As such, these people led very 'interesting' and turbulent lives.

Zhai Sheng was not a person like that. When he was younger, he had never like women like Qiu Chenxi. Now that he was already forty-five years old, it was only natural that he would never regress and have such shallow thoughts.

But it was uncommon to see men like Chen Jun, who was superficial and lacked self-control, to come to such a realization at their peak.

Continue making a fuss? What rights did he have to do so?

He had been proud that he had once been an armed police officer. But in front of Chief Zhai or that soldier, his skills were no different from a three-year-old trying to wield a sword. It was simply ridiculous. If they were to compare their statuses, he could not match up to Zhai Sheng. If they were to compare their martial arts skills, he would definitely lose out too. So what was there left for them to compete with for Qiao Nan's hand? There was simply nothing else!
