1100 Ask for an Insul
“Since they are all females, my dad will have the upper hand.”
Shi Qing did not expect that Old Master Shi would be so open-minded.
Nevertheless, Shi Qing felt much better in the current situation.
Her paternal grandparents were much better than her maternal grandparents.
Shi Qing knew very well that the Feng family placed all their hopes on her two uncles. Similarly, her paternal grandpa placed all hopes on her father. There was nothing wrong with it.
“It is better to keep a low profile. Qi Minlan and Qiu Chenxi are not kind souls. If they learn about this, your family of three will be in for a difficult time.” Qiao Nan had heard and seen a lot of cases where the family members turned against each other because of money.
Shi Qing helped Qiao Nan put the gift aside. “Today, you are the bride. Your job is to wait patiently for the time to be married to Brother Zhai. Don’t worry about other matters. Besides, my family is not foolish. We will not court trouble for ourselves. The most important thing is that I suppose grandpa will find ways to keep it from them.”
Since Old Master Shi favored the son over the daughter, he should have known what to say and what not to say. He would not be so muddleheaded. “By the way, a gentle reminder to you. I heard that my aunt is back with Qiu Chenxi. They are staying at the Qiu family’s residence.”
After Qiu Qin was arrested, most of the properties of the Qiu family had been confiscated. The only thing left was the house and it was given to Qi Minlan after the divorce.
Qi Minlan did not sell the house. Now that she was back with her daughter, they could stay at the house.
“How about the elderly couple in the Qiu family?”
“I have no idea. My aunt is their daughter-in-law. Since she has no idea, I can’t be bothered to know. Anyway, if anything crops up in the future, the elderly couple in the Qiu family will look for my aunt. But now that she has divorced my uncle, she does not have any legal obligations to take care of her former in-laws. At most, she will have a bad reputation for not taking care of them.”
Shi Qing had grown smarter and was no longer the foolish girl in the past. “The reason why I bring them up is that I feel that they must be back to attend your wedding. You should know Qiu Chenxi very well.”
Speaking of Qiu Chenxi, Shi Qing could not help but feel angry.
When she and Qiao Nan had just reached the capital for their college studies, Qiu Chenxi sowed discord, and the Feng family gave Qiao Nan the cold shoulder.
Actually, Shi Qing had already figured out that the Feng family was a problem as well. Back then, they allowed Qiu Chenxi to bully her, and now, they did not bother to check whether Qiu Chenxi was telling the truth or not.
After learning that Qiao Nan was engaged to Zhai Sheng, the Feng family decided to believe Qiu Chenxi’s words.
Shi Qing had a headache at the thought of Qiu Chenxi and the Feng family. All of them were just as bad!
Qiao Nan patted Shi Qing’s hands lightly to console her. “If Qiu Chenxi doesn’t find it painful to watch the person that she has been dying to marry to take another girl who could not match up to her as his wife, I won’t mind that she has a drink or finish one entire table of food.”
Shi Qing’s eyes lit up. “That’s true. Hahaha! Come over here. The makeup artist is here. Stop moving around. You have to put on your makeup.”
They were occupied with getting ready for the wedding while everyone in the Zhu family’s residence was busy with the final preparations.
“As I have said, we are very busy right now, so we are unable to attend to guests now. Can you stop creating trouble for me?” Someone stopped Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin right at the entrance of the Zhu family’s residence. “If you want to look for your dad, just go back home. If you want to give your sister a helping hand, go sit by the side and don’t hinder us. This will be the greatest help to the bride.”
She could forget about helping out as a bridesmaid.
“Can you pass a message to my sister? She is getting married. As her elder sister, I want to keep her company. She will be happy to hear that.” Qiao Zijin refused to give up. She was all smiles and she had to see Qiao Nan. “If my sister is busy and you can’t allow me to enter, can you get my dad here?”
She believed that she would be able to get past the Zhu family’s guards with the help of her father.
Qiao Zijin kept pestering the people from the Zhu family until they were witless. “Fine. Wait here while I get him here.”
Qiao Dongliang came walking toward them. One look and he could tell what was going on. “Zijin, today is Nan Nan’s wedding. Don’t create a din. Go to the Zhai family’s residence to watch the ceremony. The wedding banquet will not start any time soon.”
“Dad, I want to keep Nan Nan accompany. Nan Nan is getting married today. She will definitely feel uneasy and uncertain. She will feel better to have someone close to her by her side.” Once she entered the Zhu family’s residence, she must find out the amount of dowry that Qiao Nan was going to bring with her to the Zhai family.
She still could not believe that an illustrious family like the Zhai family would not give any bride price to Qiao Nan.
Perhaps the amount was astoundingly high and Qiao Nan decided to keep all the money to herself. Therefore, she kept it a secret from her parents.
How dared Qiao Nan keep all the money to herself! She was too selfish and greedy.
“No need. Nan Nan has Qing Qing with her. Alright, I have to help out now. The two of you should go back.” Qiao Dongliang did not have the right to allow them into the house. Even if he had the authority to do that, he would not do so.
He had made a mistake and hurt his younger daughter’s feelings. He couldn’t turn back time.
Since he knew that he was in the wrong, he would not commit the same mistake by allowing the elder daughter to wreak havoc at the younger daughter’s wedding. If so, he would be too ashamed of himself.
Qiao Dongliang turned and left afterward. He was in high spirits, and he certainly looked like someone who was marrying off his daughter.
“You should give up now. Leave now. There are a lot of visitors and cars today. Don’t blame us if anything happens.” After Qiao Dongliang left, the people from the Zhu family tried to get them to leave. “Didn’t you notice that all the people in the quad are watching you?”
They should preserve their dignity and leave.
Ding Jiayi, who hung her head, blushed. She walked forward to pull at Qiao Zijin.
Ding Jiayi had no wish to help out at Qiao Nan’s wedding. She had always felt that since she had raised Qiao Nan until she was an adult and now that Qiao Nan was getting married, it was Qiao Nan’s turn to take care of her.
It was Qiao Zijin who insisted that Ding Jiayi come with her to help out with the wedding. Ding Jiayi, who only wanted to sit around and enjoyed herself, was reluctant to go with Qiao Zijin.
All the neighbors cast mocking glances at them. Ding Jiayi felt uneasy.
