Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 2161 -

Rather, Qiao Nans question was more of whether Chief Zhu was still around.

The last time she had visited Zhu Chengqi, she had heard his doctor say that he wouldnt last for many more days. But her stomach had grown from being inconspicuous to protruding. She was about to give birth, but she had not yet heard any bad news about Zhu Chengqi. Qiao Nan wondered whether Zhu Chengqi was holding on for some reason.

Hes alright. At least, Chief Zhus illness was under control and there were no major problems for the time being. I guess someone must be in a panic now that Chief Zhus in such a condition.

Wang Yang dared not take a step away from Zhu Chengqi and people who did not understand the situation would inevitably praise Wang Yang for being filial and treating Zhu Chengqi like his biological father. Wang Yangs parents were still well and alive, and as they got older, their bodies were like machines that needed maintenance once in a while.

When Wang Yangs biological parents had fallen sick, he had not been by their sides taking care of them. Instead, he had rushed to the capital to take care of Zhu Chengqi. People might even misunderstand that Wang Yang was a Zhu instead of a Wang and was Zhu Chengqis biological son.

Initially, there had been nothing much but he had overdone some things. People were no fools nor were they blind. They could tell whether Wang Yang was being sincere to Zhu Chengqi.

Knowing that Zhu Chengqi was toeing the line of death, that Wang Yang was the only relative Zhu Chengqi had left on earth, and how Wang Yang took care of Zhu Chengqi, there were many people who speculated that Zhu Chengqi would leave all of the Zhu familys assets to Wang Yang once he passed away. As such, there were many people who tried to suck up to Wang Yang and get close to him. These people were hoping that Wang Yang would take good care of them once he inherited the Zhu familys assets.

But there were others who looked down on Wang Yang and felt that he was only treating Zhu Chengqi well because of his assets. No matter how much they looked down on Wang Yang, they were still jealous of Wang Yangs good fortune. Why couldnt they have an uncle like Zhu Chengqi who had power and status but lacked a son of his own?

Everyone understood that. Even if they were not waiting for Zhu Chengqis death, they were waiting to see if Wang Yang would indeed be able to rise up like a dragon once Zhu Chengqi passed on.

Even though Zhai Sheng did not mention Wang Yangs name, Qiao Nan knew right away that Zhai Sheng was talking about him. It was because of that that Qiao Nan got upset. Only she knew that Wang Yang had caused Zhu Baoguos death. But she had no evidence. Besides, so many years had passed. There was no way of pursuing the matter anymore.

Seeing that everything that should have belonged to Zhu Baoguo was about to land in Wang Yangs hands, Qiao Nan was in a foul mood. In her dream, Qiao Nan had regarded Zhu Baoguo almost as a son and had even taken care of him like he was her younger brother.

Even though Zhu Baoguo had passed away a long time ago and she had not been able to meet Zhu Baoguo in this lifetime, Qiao Nans feelings toward Zhu Baoguo had not changed. For Zhu Baoguos sake, Qiao Nan refused to be on good terms with Wang Yang. She had wanted to find a way to teach Wang Yang a lesson and let him have a taste of his own medicine.

Unfortunately, she was in no place to do that now that she was pregnant. She even had to watch others suck up to Wang Yang because of the Zhu family.

Zhai Sheng caressed Qiao Nans head and tried to convince her. Dont get upset. Wang Yang wont be able to be happy for long. He wanted to tell Nan Nan about certain things, but some people were holding him back. That was just as well, in case Nan Nan thought too much about it and was unable to sleep at night.

Qiao Nan pouted. What do you mean? Im afraid that Wang Yang will enjoy this forever! If Wang Yang really got hold of the Zhu familys assets, would there really be a day when he would be down on luck?

That wont happen, Nan Nan. Dont you think youre underestimating Chief Zhu? He had no idea why Nan Nan hated Wang Yang so much but Wang Yang was problematic indeed. He could feel that. Even if Chief Zhu had not known that in the beginning, he would probably have realized that by now. Wang Yangs good days now mean nothing. Once Wang Yang feels as though hes succeeded, hell soon realize that hes actually failed. Dont you like that?

That would be exciting!

Because Qiao Nan hated Wang Yang, and Zhu Chengqi had already made his decision, Zhai Sheng could only try to do his best as the middleman.

What do you mean? Qiao Nans eyes glinted. Are you hiding something from me?

Seeing Qiao Nan, who had had her back to him, suddenly turn toward him in joy at this news, the usually calm and indifferent Zhai Sheng was taken aback. Nonsense! Dont move so suddenly. Is your stomach comfortable?

Her protruding belly was like a bunch of twisted hemp flowers. Zhai Sheng felt that Qiao Nan had not twisted her body but his heart. Are you really alright? Does it hurt?

No, not at all. Its fine. Qiao Nan patted her stomach gently as though she were patting a watermelon. She was so happy in that moment that she had nearly forgotten the reason she had been admitted. Also, stop beating around the bush. What did you mean earlier? What happened to Wang Yang? What are you hiding from me? Youd better be honest.

Im not telling you. Zhai Sheng was slightly angry. Nan Nan, this is between the Zhu family and Wang Yang. Dont you think youre caring about the wrong things?

But I said that Zhu Chengqi is like my dad! Although he was just a godfather, her concern toward Zhu Chengqi was no less than that toward a biological father.

Zhai Sheng was doomed to lose against Qiao Nan. Now, Qiao Nan was not alone. With the three babies in her stomach, it was four against one. Qiao Nan had four on her side while Zhai Sheng was alone.

Stroking Qiao Nans head and glancing at her stomach, Zhai Sheng had no other choice. Alright, alright. You just have to know that Chief Zhu isnt as weak as you think. As an old chief, an old fox, and an old hunter, one needs nine lives and tremendous courage to plot against someone like Chief Zhu. In short, he wouldnt be taken advantage of so easily.

Qiao Nan was confused by Zhai Sheng, but she understood that Zhu Chengqi would not be tricked by Wang Yang so easily.
