Chapter 1358 Baddie? Hit Him!
He was still upset over the fact that he had to fork out the money for his child to go on an overseas study, particularly when he heard that there were people who refused to go despite being sponsored. It would be a while before he could get over it.
There was such a huge difference in the destiny of people.
Luckily, Deng Wenchang was focused on his work and did not overhear their conversation. Otherwise, Deng Wenchang would be in a bad mood like the colleague, and he might vomit blood from anger. Back then, Deng Wenchang had to pay for his school fees when he went on an overseas study. He was not able to receive sponsorship from the school.
Qiao Nan still looked energetic and invigorating despite having worked the entire day.
On the other hand, Deng Wenchang looked pale when he knocked off from work. His right hand was stiff and sore.
He Yi patted Deng Wenchang on the shoulder, giving him a gentle reminder. “Xiao Deng, you had better not drive the car today. Get someone to fetch you. There are a lot of cars in the capital and the traffic is very busy. It’s important to keep safe. The chairman has said that good health is a prerequisite for work.” Deng Wenchang must not use his right hand anymore today, or he might not be able to use his right hand tomorrow.
If so, Deng Wenchang would have lost to the little junior.
As her senior, He Yi was very happy to watch the competition between Deng Wenchang and his little junior. Deng Wenchang was being petty, but his little junior was not a pushover either.
In order for the competition to keep going so that he could have more fun watching them, he had to remind Deng Wenchang to protect himself and to take care of his health and safety. It was very dangerous to drive a car when one was exhausted. This was taught in driving school and one must never forget this reminder.
Deng Wenchang took a deep breath, plastering a fake smile on his face. “Uncle He, thank you for your concern. Don’t worry. I won’t risk my life.” Deng Wenchang could feel that his right hand was shaking due to overexertion.
He would not forget what Qiao Nan did to him today. He would make her pay for it tomorrow!
Qiao Nan noticed the look of grievance and hatred in Deng Wenchang’s eyes. Qiao Nan had yet to talk to Zhai Sheng, so she had no idea what Peng Yu’s motive was for being close to Qiu Chenxi and the Deng family. But it was clear that they were crucial to his plan.
If she destroyed either of them, it would make it more difficult for Peng Yu to deal with the Zhai family.
As a nobody, Qiao Nan did not have any grand plan. She only wanted to fulfill her role as a minor figure to work from the foundation. Once the important chess pieces were removed, Peng Yu’s plan would not go as smoothly as planned.
A small leak would sink a great ship.
It was suitable to use this method on Peng Yu.
“Mama, happy?” San Bao, who was one and a half years old, noticed that her mama would hum a tune from time to time and smiled to herself. San Bao straightened and danced along to the tune happily.
Da Bao and Er Bao behaved like San Bao as well. They surrounded Qiao Nan and smiled brightly at her like three little suns. They were an adorable sight.
They had chubby cheeks and were all smiles. Their eyes curved into crescent moon-like shape, sparkling like the stars in the sky. They were so adorable. No one would be able to resist their charms and would want to give them a hug and a kiss.
As their mother, Qiao Nan’s love for them was plain for all to see. She squatted down and carried them one by one, kissing them on each of their cheeks. “Yes, I am elated today. A baddie wanted to bully me, but I have retaliated.”
This was not the first time that Deng Wenchang went against Qiao Nan. When Qiao Nan did her internship at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Deng Wenchang would mock her whenever he spoke to her, but Qiao Nan would maintain her silence. Everyone in the ministry wondered if Deng Wenchang was the woman while Qiao Nan was the man. Deng Wenchang seemed to be petty, while Qiao Nan was bighearted and magnanimous. She seemed like a true man who did not take issue with him.
Among the people they knew, none of the men were petty and nasty-tempered. Moreover, the person who was being bullied was a young lady. It seemed as if their roles had been reversed.
Previously, Qiao Nan was thinking that since she was already an old lady who was more than fifty years old, she should not take issue with a young brat in his twenties. Therefore, she was not bothered by Deng Wenchang’s mocking. Anyway, it would not hurt her.
But things were different now. Although it had no substantial impact on her, Qiao Nan no longer wanted to be gracious to Deng Wenchang. She would no longer keep silent at his mocking.
It must be Peng Yu’s plan for Deng Wenchang to secure a place in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs could be considered as her master’s territory as well. How could she allow herself to be bullied by outsiders in her own territory?
She might not be able to do anything in other places, but this was the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Qiao Nan was ready to thwart Peng Yu’s plans. His plans might be to make use of Deng Wenchang to be up to no good. Qiao Nan would do her best to stop him.
“Baddie? Hit him!” Da Bao knitted his eyebrows. He clenched his fists and raised them into the air. His mannerism resembled his father.
“Bully mama?” Er Bao blinked and revealed a devilish smile. “Bring papa to their house.”
San Bao was anxious. Da Bao and Er Bao had already thought of how they should deal with the baddie. What about her? The young lady made a circle on the spot and clung to Qiao Nan’s knees. “I... cry?” San Bao knew that if she cried, the adults’ countenance would change.
Qiao Nan was amused. She hugged her triplets. “They are brilliant ideas, but I am not in a hurry to use them. When you are older and have the ability, you can take revenge for me. You are still very young now. You must have your meals and grow up to be strong and healthy. I will protect you.”
Qiao Nan was merely chatting with her children. She did not expect that they had good memories at such a young age and were able to remember her words today.
Since that day, Da Bao was very interested in offensive weapons like small tanks and toy guns. If Old Master Zhai woke up early in the morning, he had the habit of practicing shadowboxing as a form of exercise. There was once when Da Bao woke up to use the restroom and he saw his grandpa doing shadowboxing. From then on, Da Bao had the habit of waking up early in the morning to accompany Old Master Zhai as he practiced shadowboxing.
Da Bao was still a toddler. Although he was able to walk steadily now, he would fall down whenever he tried to throw punches or kicked his leg.
Luckily, he took a fall on the lawn in the garden. It was spring and the grasses formed dense cascading mounds. Da Bao landed on the soft grass and did not feel any pain at all.
