Chapter 966 You Are Not Anxious, But I Am

“None of that.” Shi Qing was hugging a bolster. “In the past, I felt quite happy visiting grandma’s house. However, this year, I feel exhausted each time I go. We are all relatives. Clearly, we were getting along quite well. Since when did they have to beat about the bush when talking to me? They don’t find that tiring but I do.”

Regarding the text message, Shi Qing did not mention it to the Feng family at all. That was because she knew that even if she were to bring Qiao Nan to the Feng family for a confrontation, the Feng family might not be willing to admit to their doing and motives. In addition, she would not be able to find a way to bring Qiao Nan to the Feng family to clarify this.

If she were to bring this up, she would not receive any clarification. Instead, the Feng family might feel more disappointed.

Instead of creating an outcome that would upset her, Shi Qing would rather not talk about it. She would stomach this matter and let it rot.

“What is wrong with you then?” Qiao Nan sat beside Shi Qing and got her a cup of tea. She even massaged the acupuncture points at Shi Qing’s temple to help the latter relieve her stress.

“I’m alright. Don’t worry about me. You should know that a woman’s temper is always not good for the few days after menstruation.” For women, there would always be such days. “Wait for a few more days. I will automatically recover by then.”

Qiao Nan laughed. “Do you think I don’t know when your period is due? It is not due yet. Did anything happen at the Feng family?”

“It is useless for them to kick up a fuss. Even if they do, I won’t concede defeat. What’s the use of kicking up a fuss?” Shi Qing snorted satisfactorily.

“So, they really did kick up a fuss?” Qiao Nan sighed. It was no wonder that Shi Qing was in such a bad mood. “However, you should have been prepared before you went back to the Feng family. At this moment, Zhai Sheng’s family is in the capital. I guess Brother Zhai must have expressed his stand to them. In the future, don’t be sandwiched between the Feng family and me. As for what the Feng family has to say, it could go in one ear and out the other. You will be upset if you take them to heart. There is no need to do so.”

Even if Shi Qing was willing to pass messages to her on behalf of the Feng family, would she listen to them?

In fact, the relationship between Shi Qing and the Feng family was not that difficult to resolve.

“I know. But when my temper rises, I can’t control it as I wish. Most importantly, the Feng family came up with a new issue today. What kind of era is this? My grandpa wishes to matchmake me with someone.” At the end of her speech, Shi Qing sneered continuously. “Most likely, my paternal grandpa has been focusing all his effort on Qiu Chenxi. He did not even talk about who I should be engaged to. Why are my maternal grandparents getting involved in this matter? Unfortunately, my mom listens to them in everything that they say, going along with them.”

Yes, Brother Zhai was now engaged with Qiao Nan. It was now impossible between Brother Zhai and her.

However, although she was obviously the one who had fallen out of love, she did not give up on herself. Why did her maternal grandfather take the matter into his own hands and decide that she would be quickly engaged to someone she did not even know and had only met for just a few days?

At the thought of this, Shi Qing was so enraged that she wanted to scold someone.

“Engagement! What engagement!” At this moment, Qiao Nan was anxious. “This won’t do. Immediately call your dad and report this matter to him.”

Of course, the Feng family was not the one who would call the shots. The problem was that Shi Qing’s biological mother was still staying with the Feng family now.

Shi Qing can choose not to listen to the Feng family’s words but her biological mother’s words would certainly impact her. What exactly was the Feng family trying to do now?

“Forget it. It’s already so late.” Shi Qing was unhappy but her heart ached for her biological father, who was not in good health. He was also very busy. If she refused to agree, whatever her maternal grandfather’s family said would not have an impact on her. Why did she need to inform her father about this?

“What do you know? If you don’t call him, I will. If I really do call, I won’t be able to control my comments about the Feng family. The rights are in my hands,” Qiao Nan said without any reservation.

Seeing that Qiao Nan was so serious, her expression extremely solemn, Shi Qing, who initially did not take this matter to heart and purely felt uneasy, was greatly taken aback. “Please don’t. I will. I will call him myself. Will that do?”

Shi Qing did not expect that when she told Shi Peng about this, her biological father’s reaction was more exaggerated than that of Qiao Nan. “Alright, I know. Next time, if the Feng family asks you to go to their house again, don’t go. Even if your mom requests you to do so, don’t go. Understand?”

“Yes,” Shi Qing said softly. “Dad, don’t keep working overtime. Quickly rest.”

“I know.” Shi Peng rubbed his forehead. A ball of fury was forming in his heart.

He had allowed his wife to return to her maternal family in the capital because the Shi family did not treat her nicely. However, the Feng family seemed to be taking his politeness for granted. They dared to make plans about who his daughter was going to marry in the future. They had forgotten their boundaries.

Besides Qing Qing, who could decide for herself who she was going to be married to in the future, and as long as he was unwilling, the Feng family did not even have the right to intervene in this matter!

After hanging up the phone, Shi Qing had not come to terms with this matter. “Dad is angry. He forbids me from going to the Feng’s residence again.” This was most surprising to Shi Qing.

“Alright, your dad will handle this matter from now onward. You just have to listen to whatever your dad tells you to do.” Facing the silly Shi Qing, who did not know the gravity of the situation, Qiao Nan was both angry and amused. “Remember. Regardless of whom the Feng family or your biological mother brings to see you, you have to make excuses and say that you are not available. Just say that you don’t even have time for lunch.”

“Do I really need to do that?” Were Qiao Nan and her father being too paranoid that they were apprehending danger at every bush and tree they saw?

“Unless you think that after Brother Zhai and I are engaged, you do not mind marrying any man that you have just met, you don’t have to take me and your dad’s words seriously then.” Qiao Nan felt her head hurt. The Feng family actually used this tactic. What exactly were they trying to do and what was their motive?

Upon hearing this, Shi Qing was frightened. “Don’t worry. I will remember them.”

She would rather do without than to have something substandard, not to mention that she sincerely gave her blessings to Brother Zhai and Qiao Nan. How could she give up on herself to the extent that she did not care who she would marry because of their engagement?

Did not matter?

It mattered too much!

“Shi Qing, have you caught up with the lessons at Zhu Baoguo’s end?” Qiao Nan could not help but feel worried. She was pursing her lips tightly.

“I’ve caught up. Zhu Baoguo sent me the examination papers that he had just taken. I scored better than him,” Shi Qing said proudly.

“That’s good. Fortunately, Brother Zhai and his family are still in the capital. I will ask Brother Zhai to find a way to transfer you to PLA National Defence University.

After the Zhai family left, it would no longer be possible for her to help Shi Qing transfer school. She did not have the capability to do so. The Feng family would be the only ones left who had the capability to do so.

Shi Qing’s eyes lit up. “You’re sending me to be classmates with Zhu Baoguo? Actually, I am not anxious about it.” Of course, it would be best if it could happen earlier.
