Chapter 1966: Good Taste

She counted by pinching her fingers. Her uncle would probably marry Auntie Qiao in June. “It’d better not be the day when I’m taking the middle school examinations. If that’s the case, I’ll fight it out with my uncle!”

“How could that be?” Miao Jing smiled and said, “Your uncle will definitely get married on a day that you’re available. You’re taking the middle school examinations in mid-June. Isn’t it perfect if your uncle gets married in late June?”

“Grandma, aren’t you anxious?” Her mom told her that her grandparents were eager for grandchildren. Jiajia wasn’t jealous of the unborn younger brothers and sisters even though she might not be able to enjoy everything at her grandma’s place for long.

Jiajia heard from her mom that when she was young, her grandparents wanted to take care of her. However, her paternal grandparents refused by making all sorts of excuses. As such, there was always this regret in her grandparents’ hearts.

Seeing that both silver-haired grandparents had been working hard for their children and had so many concerns even when they were so old, Jiajia hoped that they could lead a happier life. Furthermore, she felt that if Auntie Qiao was the one who gave birth to a younger brother or sister, she would definitely like it. She would also definitely be a good sister.

Miao Jing touched Jiajia’s face and said, “Even if I’m anxious, it wouldn’t be just for these couple of days. You’re grandma’s precious as well. I won’t leave you alone.”

“Grandma, you’re so great.” Jiajia felt warmth in her heart and shook Miao Jing’s arms. “Jiajia, after your uncle married Auntie Qiao, do you think they will give birth to a child as sweet as you?”

Jiajia tilted her head. “I don’t know. I’ll like it regardless of whether the child’s a younger brother or sister!”

Zhai Yaohui, who was reading the newspapers, shook the newspapers in his hands and secretly snorted. Who said that it would be a granddaughter? He felt that it should be a grandson. It wasn’t only women who had a sixth sense. Men had a sixth sense too.

The phone rang. Zhai Yaohui, who was sitting next to it, picked up the call. “Hello? Yes, it’s me. Old He. Is anything the matter? Yes… You have received the news quickly. I haven’t sent you the invitation but you know that my son’s getting married. Caretaker? Who have you heard this from? Regardless, what’s most important is that the children are willing parties. Yes, remember to attend the wedding then.”

After putting down the phone, Zhai Yaohui’s face darkened a little.

“What’s wrong?” Miao Jing patted Jiajia and asked her to eat the soup dumplings which should be steamed by now. Jiajia was smart and obedient. She knew that if her grandparents had serious matters to talk about, they didn’t need a child to interfere. As such, she raced to the kitchen. “There’s a child at home. If you frighten Jiajia, don’t blame me for getting even with you.”

Zhai Yaohui glanced at Jiajia, who was happily eating soup dumplings in the kitchen.”Jiajia’s a child of our Zhai family. How would she be frightened so easily? You have thought too much.””Who called just now? Why did I hear the word ‘caretaker’?” Then, Old Zhai’s face darkened.

Zhai Yaohui put down the newspapers. “Someone must have been uttering nonsense. As such, Old He asked me today if Zhai Sheng was going to marry a caretaker.” Zhai Yaohui laughed coldly. He roughly knew who this someone was.

To know who was close to the Zhai family and could even get in touch with them, this person was obviously part of their family previously. Zhai Yaohui had never acknowledged Wei De as a son-in-law. Even if he didn’t pick on Wei De, it was impossible for him to bring Wei De into the Zhai family’s social circle.

There was only one person who had received such special treatment from Zhai Yaohui before: Qiu Chenxi.

Upon thinking about the call that he had received one day in the middle of the night, Zhai Yaohui understood everything.

“Nonsense!” Miao Jing was so angry that she nearly couldn’t control herself hurling vulgarities. “Nan Nan was only invited to take care of Zhai Sheng for a few days. When did she become a caretaker? Furthermore, this is my family business. What’s wrong with a caretaker? Looking down on a caretaker? A caretaker is also relying on their ability to earn money. What’s wrong?!”

The Zhai family didn’t mind Qiao Nan’s background or what kind of jobs she had done before. As long as one was self-sufficient, there wasn’t any distinction between jobs. This was often said, but there weren’t a lot of people who could really not mind this like the Zhai family.

However, Miao Jing couldn’t accept that Qiao Nan was rumored to be a caretaker just because she had taken care of Zhai Sheng for a couple of days and that she now appeared as lowly in front of others.

Upon talking about this, Miao Jing became angry. “Let’s minimize interaction with that person surnamed He in the future. All of them are interfering in our family matters. There should be a limit to their care and concern. When Zhai Sheng didn’t have a marriage partner in the past, he asked you daily when Zhai Sheng was going to get married and shared how well his granddaughter was. Did he really think that we didn’t know what he was thinking? I just can’t be bothered seeing that he’s old and that you are long-time friends with him. He’s trying to take advantage of that, isn’t he?”

“Heh…” Zhai Yaohui smiled. He knew that Old He’s call didn’t bear good intentions. Old He had a niece who was also divorced. She was about the same age as Zhai Sheng and their family backgrounds were compatible. Since both of them were divorced, what Old He meant to say was they shouldn’t despise each other. Furthermore, Old He’s niece was a student who graduated from a prestigious university.

Even if Zhai Sheng was the chief, his niece was worthy of Zhai Sheng and he didn’t need to suffer much. Yes, with Zhai Sheng’s identity, he could marry a young and pretty girl. However, the Zhai family’s identity determined that Zhai Sheng’s wife mustn’t be the kind of frivolous girl who couldn’t handle big occasions.

It didn’t matter if the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law was young and pretty. What was more important was that she was gracious and capable.

Zhai Yaohui didn’t mention this to Miao Jing as he knew that this would definitely not work. Not only did he not mention this to Miao Jing, but he also didn’t say a single word in front of Zhai Sheng. He initially thought that this matter was over. However, after receiving this call today, Zhai Yaohui knew that it wasn’t over.

As he had rejected him, Old He always felt unhappy in his heart. He wanted to see if Zhai Sheng was planning to remain single for life or he was going to marry a woman who was better than his niece.

As Old He waited, his niece hadn’t remarried yet, but he heard that Zhai Sheng was going to marry a caretaker. He became angry and felt that the Zhai family belittled them. Couldn’t his niece compare to a caretaker?

Before Zhai Sheng got married, Old He hurriedly made a call to mock Zhai Yaohui and also to remind him that there wasn’t any meaning in deciding on a caretaker as his daughter-in-law. His niece wasn’t remarried yet, but she might not fancy Zhai Sheng anymore if he got a divorce again in the future.
